I let the genie out of the bottle

At that time, what Lu Ye gained was her independence.

He wasn't worried that his interference would allow Saint to reach a point where he no longer needed his power. After all, Saint's worldview was never just for show.

“Then, a sufficiently powerful magical beast—” Lu Ye’s figure landed lightly on the ground, and he looked into the distance, “as I wish, may it appear before me as soon as possible.”

Then, his gaze faltered slightly.

Within sight, scattered on the ground were several bluish-black scales and feathers.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Chasing the Dragon with Mottled Feathers

"Wow, I'm really lucky."

As Lu Ye spoke, he slowly took a few steps forward, bent down, and picked up a feather with a dark, wet color. Then, he held it up to the sunlight.

Its beautiful, almost bluish-black color, under the scattering of sunlight, faintly carries a seven-colored halo.

Seemingly due to the sunlight, Lu Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, so you've entered the interior of this world too."

As Lu Ye said this, there seemed to be a faint hint of... mockery on his face.

About a quarter of the Earth's circumference away, a petite figure, slightly unsteady on its feet, suddenly stopped.

Her long, jet-black hair, tinged with purple, resembled obsidian eyes, and her face was delicate and youthful. Coupled with the undeniable sickly pallor on her face, anyone who saw her would likely feel an overwhelming sense of pity.

However, to everyone's astonishment, wherever she went, there was no one there.

Because of the powerful aura and strength emanating from that body, enough to instill fear in the vast majority of beings in this world.

Especially due to the trauma, the power released from her body was enough to turn the places she passed into a dead zone, even if she did not have any intention to attack.

That powerful force, interwoven with the color of pitch black and soft feathers, is a symbol of a strong person in this world—the Infinite Dragon God Orpheus.

"You—" The petite, black-haired girl raised her head, a glint of intelligence flashing in her somewhat blank eyes. "Who are you?"

For some reason, she felt a slight unease.

This unpleasant feeling was exactly the same as when that wretched red dragon ignored her existence and rampaged through the dimensional gaps.

Thinking of that wretched red dragon, Orpheus's mood worsened even further.

Originally, I planned to take advantage of the moment when that despicable guy reached out and dealt a heavy blow, then defeat it, drive it out of the dimensional rift, and reclaim the peace of the dimensional rift that I loved.

Unexpectedly, her battle with the Great Red dragged on for a long time without a clear winner.

Although she initially gained a significant advantage by taking advantage of Great Red's injury, she was still lacking something to secure victory.

Even as time went on, the red dragon's injuries gradually healed. Despite her senses of danger and her best efforts to hinder the Great Red's healing of her, the red dragon eventually recovered completely from her injuries not long ago.

Until the moment the Red Dragon was fully restored, the power struggle between the Infinite Dragon God and the Great Red Dragon was completely reversed.

Faced with the fully charged state, aggro bonus, and the Great Red's wrathful rage, it was no longer just a game as before. Now, it showed no mercy and had multiple berserk buffs.

Thus, the shameful little dragon lost decisively. Not only that, but it was also expelled from the dimensional rift, covered in injuries.

Unpleasant memories flooded her already limited mind once again, and Orpheus involuntarily pursed her lips. Her previously unsteady steps now stomped heavily on the ground, venting her resentment.

"Ha." Sensing the displeasure coming from the other side, Lu Ye leisurely put away the blood-stained, dark feather in his hand.

"It doesn't matter who I am."

As he said this, Lu Ye picked up the few scales that were scattered on the ground.

It seems that this was the location where Orpheus first appeared in this world.

"But since we're both pretty bored anyway, why don't we play a game together?"

A quarter of the Earth's circumference away, Orpheus looked bewildered.

"game?"

“Yes, I will always use a speed slower than yours to see if I can catch you—if I can catch you, then I win, how about it?” Lu Ye said in a gentle tone, his fingers stroking the bluish-black scales on his hand.

Orpheus stopped in his tracks, his eyes widening slightly as if he were pondering something.

“If you win, then I’m willing to help you defeat the Great Red,” Lu Ye said in a seductive tone.

"Okay." Upon hearing this condition, Menglong nodded obediently and then continued to walk forward silently.

The other party did not specify what he would want in return for his victory. Therefore, in Orpheus's view, it wouldn't matter if he agreed anyway.

For these two people, separated by a quarter of the Earth's circumference, the passage of time doesn't concern them much.

And so, everyone, regardless of who they were, maintained a steady pace and walked silently.

one year later.

"How should I achieve victory?" The petite, cute girl, who showed no signs of being the infamous Infinite Dragon God, asked with a slight frown and some doubt.

Throughout the year, no one paid attention to the other's position. At this moment, the distance between Lu Ye and her had not shortened, but rather lengthened.

At that moment, the two were on opposite sides of the planet.

"Don't worry about it." Lu Ye stopped, his tone languid, a smile playing on his slightly narrowed eyes. "After all, I didn't say I needed you to do anything after I won, did I?"

I've been tricked.

"Hmm." Infinite Dragon's cheeks puffed out unconsciously, indicating that he was quite displeased.

What a terrible guy.

If things continue like this, won't the other side always win no matter what?

"We're bored anyway, why not play a game?" Saying this, and sensing his companion starting to move again, Lu Ye began to walk again. "Want to keep playing?"

"Yes," the dragon, who possessed the power of "infinity," said in a somewhat frustrated voice.

After all, she had discovered this a long time ago. But she still quietly continued playing the game until now.

This is a game that only those with long lifespans can afford. Neither the length of the game nor the geographical scope it covers is something that mortals with a lifespan of only a hundred years can afford.

Neither Lu Ye nor Orpheus ever deliberately controlled the direction they were heading.

In this pastime, they simply hoped that at some point, their senses, now reduced to the distance between them, would suddenly discover each other.

At that moment, it meant that this rather long chase game had come to an end.

"Excuse me, may I ask you something?" Seeing a figure appear in front of him, Lu Ye slowly walked over, a smile on his face.

The farmer, who was working, temporarily put down his tools and looked at the dusty young man in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"Excuse me, have you ever seen a dragon? A beautiful dragon with soft, dark feathers?"

P.S.: It seems a bit too blurry...

Chapter 58 Have you seen my dragon? She's so cute.

"Excuse me, have you ever seen a dragon? A beautiful dragon with soft, dark feathers?"

The travel-worn young man removed the head covering he used to protect himself from the sandstorm, revealing a youthful face. He wasn't old, but he seemed worldly-wise, lacking the recklessness and impulsiveness often seen in young people.

"Young man, how could we ordinary people have ever seen a dragon?"

The farmer, who had just been working in the fields, put down his tools, looked at the farmland in front of him, and smiled in a very farmer-like manner amidst the rural atmosphere.

“Dragons? They are dangerous monsters that only exist in legends. If I were to encounter one, how could I possibly survive?” The farmer shook his head, seemingly taking Lu Ye’s words as a joke. “But you, why are you asking about the dragon’s tracks? Do you perhaps want to emulate the legendary heroes and slay a dragon?”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Lu Ye's reply, but instead gave him a warning look. The honest and simple farmer naturally didn't want to see a young man in the prime of his life lose his life or waste his precious time because of recklessness.

"Don't think like that. Many young people dream of this, but very few of them actually come back."

In the West, dragons have always seemed to be synonymous with power. Similarly, slaying a dragon is a testament to merit and military strength.

Moreover, legend has it that dragons often love to collect treasures, and if one can defeat the evil dragon, one can seize the endless treasures that the dragon has taken over.

Therefore, often just a vague and unsubstantiated message can attract countless passionate young people to embark on a perilous expedition.

"Please rest assured, I am not the kind of fool who would do anything for fame and act impulsively." Lu Ye held a bluish-black scale in his hand, feeling its smoothness, and shook his head slightly. "What I seek is neither the fame of slaying dragons nor wealth. I am merely amazed by the beauty of the dragon with its wet feathers, and I am captivated by it, so I follow in its footsteps."

The simple farmer looked bewildered, staring at Lu Ye with a helpless expression, speechless for a moment.

Clearly, this mortal from an ancient era was completely unable to receive Lu Ye's radio waves.

Lu Ye merely smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned about the profound impact his words had on the simple farmer.

"Stranger~" Just as the two, who seemed to have an immense generation gap, were talking, a gentle voice called out from behind, followed by a series of slightly hurried footsteps.

Lu Ye turned around and saw a pretty young girl dressed in local clothes.

The slightly worn and dark-colored clothes could not conceal the girl's charm emanating from within. Every smile and gesture seemed to carry a subtle sanctity.

Noticing that Lu Ye was looking at her, the girl raised her hand to brush a strand of golden hair behind her ear, and carrying a package that was half her size, she ran to Lu Ye.

The girl's face was flushed, her forehead was covered in sweat, and her hair was damp, as if she had run all the way.

"Stranger, if you set off again, please take this with you." Calming her slightly rapid breathing, the girl's tone was exceptionally gentle, and she smiled sweetly, "Inside are some food, a change of clothes, and water."

"Okay, thank you." Lu Ye nodded slightly, but took the package from the girl and then pinched her still-blushing cheek.

Then, Lu Ye casually made a gesture, took out an item, and handed it over.

It was a wolf carved from wood, every single hair incredibly clear and lifelike. Those who saw it couldn't help but marvel at the skill of the master craftsman who could create such an exquisite masterpiece.

"Please accept this as payment." Lu Ye smiled as he looked at the incredibly familiar girl in front of him.

“Then I’ll accept it without hesitation.” The petite blonde girl blinked slightly, her smile warm. The composure and calmness in her expression were something that ordinary farm girls could never possess.

Lu Ye raised his hand to indicate goodbye, turned and left with a faint smile on his face.

"Without realizing it, I've returned to the realm of the Bible once again," he murmured to himself with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, he shook his head slightly, tossed the package in his hand behind his back, and casually chose a direction to continue walking forward.

The simple farmers stood there, somewhat dazed.

After a long while, he finally raised his head, touched his head, and seemed somewhat confused.

It’s weird.

For some reason, I felt that I saw the face of one of the two people earlier, but I couldn't remember the face at all.

The other person's face was not even visible.

However, he quickly shook his head vigorously, putting all these doubts out of his mind.

There's still a lot of farm work to be done. If we slack off now, we can forget about a good harvest this year.

Thinking of this, he shook his head, sighed, picked up the farm tools he had just put aside, and continued his daily routine.

"What should this magical artifact be called?" The petite blonde girl examined the "wood carving" in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were somewhat troubled.

Giving each artifact a suitable name during the creation process is also a very troublesome task.

The worn-out, simple black clothes were transformed into a pristine white robe, and the clear, pale golden eyes held a knowing smile. The girl tossed the wooden carving in her hand, raised her hand, and pointed at the wooden carving in mid-air.

A faint golden hue spread from between her slender fingers, quickly enveloping the small wolf-shaped wooden carving completely.

“I’ve got it.” Ignoring the fear emanating from the “wood carving”, the girl’s eyes narrowed slightly with amusement, revealing a look of sudden realization.

Sitting on the white jade-colored stone platform, she swung her two little feet back and forth happily.

"This divine artifact is called, 'The Gift to Me'—"

The wooden wolf in his hand began to lose large patches of fur, its body gradually deformed, and slowly grew wings, horns, and scales.

On the vast grasslands of Midian, flocks of sheep roam freely.

A herdsman stared in astonishment at the weary traveler before him.

The rumor he had heard a few days ago, which he thought was just a joke, came to mind.

"The Dragon Seeker!"

The question that the traveler just asked was precisely—

"Excuse me, have you ever seen a dragon? A beautiful dragon with soft, dark feathers?"
