Coiling Dragon: I Transcend with Earth Element

Chapter 222: Everyone's Own Path



After everyone had mostly gotten used to it, Roy clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

"Everyone, before we go our separate ways, I'll give you a final rundown on the basic situation of this Starry Sky Universe."

"In the Starry Sky Universe, besides humanity, there are also various fierce beasts."

"Fierce beasts feed on high-intensity energy, so as your cultivation levels increase, you will attract some powerful fierce beasts to hunt you."

"Although most of these fierce beasts lack high intelligence and are driven by instinct, this does not mean they are weak."

"Also, on every planet, there is a teleportation array that can send you to other planets."

"However, this teleportation array can only be activated by the power of laws."

"..."

During this detailed explanation, none of the eighteen people dared to drift off.

After all, while their Soul Power was very strong now, their bodies were still those of ordinary people. If they were to perish prematurely due to their lack of understanding of the Starry Sky Universe, it would absolutely become a lifelong joke for the other seventeen.

A long time later, after clearly explaining some of the dangerous areas and fierce beasts in the Starry Sky Universe to the eighteen people, Roy gave them a deep look.

"Everyone, after this parting, I don't know when we'll meet again."

"I wish you all great fortune in your martial journeys!"

Then, with a wave of his hand, Roy dispersed the eighteen people, teleporting them to eighteen different planets in the Starry Sky Universe.

Afterward, Roy's figure gradually faded and dissipated into the Starry Sky Universe.

...

Sun Star, Taoyuan.

Over thirteen hundred years had passed since the disappearance of the Sun God Emperor.

After the Sun God Emperor went missing, Ye An and Ye Ping took up the banner of humanity.

They led humanity in establishing a unified nation, revering the Sun God Emperor Roy as Emperor, gathering all those who practiced the "Qi Gathering Stance" into armies, and hunting fierce beasts everywhere to consolidate the humans on the Sun Star.

In the 720th year of the Solar Calendar, the population of Taoyuan, the imperial capital of the Solar Dynasty, exceeded one million. Five kilometer-long giant beasts attacked. At that time, Ye An and Ye Ping fought valiantly. In the end, Ye Ping self-destructed, heavily wounding two of the kilometer-long giant beasts, and Ye An, in his grief and anger, broke through the bottleneck, becoming the second Emperor of the Solar Dynasty.

In the following centuries, Ye An summarized several rules based on fierce beast attacks and made them public.

When the human population gathered to a certain extent, the changes would attract fierce beast attacks.

Villages of a hundred people would frequently be attacked by Level 2 Fierce Beasts, and occasionally Level 3 Fierce Beasts would break in.

Small towns of three thousand people were regularly visited by Level 3 Fierce Beasts, with occasional incursions by mid-level fierce beasts.

Cities with over ten thousand people were often harassed by groups of mid-level fierce beasts.

Great Cities with a hundred thousand people occasionally had high-level fierce beasts appear.

Imperial Cities with a million people were quite attractive to kilometer-long Saint Realm fierce beasts.

Therefore, the second Solar Emperor Ye An decreed that every village must be guarded by a Level 3 warrior, every small town by a warrior above Level 5, every city by a high-level warrior, and every great city by a Level 9 warrior.

Thus, human losses in battles against fierce beasts were greatly reduced, and more warriors grew stronger, allowing humanity's territory to occupy nearly two-thirds of the Sun Star.

As of today, the 1372nd year of the Solar Calendar, the Solar Dynasty had one Emperor-level expert, five Saint Realm experts, over three thousand Level 9 warriors, and over ten thousand Level 8 warriors.

Ye An stood with his hands behind his back, at the highest point of Taoyuan Imperial City.

After ascending to the Emperor level, Ye An's lifespan reached twelve thousand years.

In these more than a thousand years, Ye An had seen many familiar old friends depart, and he had personally nurtured many skilled warriors.

His Spiritual Sense spread out, and the joyful laughter of women, the playful shouts of children, and the encouraging cries of men diligently cultivating in Taoyuan Imperial City entered Ye An's mind.

In a daze, Ye An's mind seemed to return to that day, fourteen hundred years ago...

Fierce beasts attacked, and the men and elders in Taoyuan Village quickly handed the children over to the women, then ran out to attract the fierce beasts' attention, allowing the women to take the children and hide in a cave.

Ye An remembered that the cave behind Taoyuan Village had a narrow entrance. Humans could enter, but the fierce beasts, due to their massive size, could only pace back and forth at the entrance.

After a long while, the fierce beast finally left the cave entrance.

The suffering he endured in his childhood, and the peaceful life humanity now enjoyed, gave Ye An much to reflect upon.

Wasn't everything they had fought for until now precisely for this current situation?

Ye An closed his eyes, and the power of endless flames swirled around him.

However, these flames did not cause any destruction to their surroundings.

This was because, before these flames could unleash their power, they were already encircled by another ring of flames, preventing them from spreading outwards.

This ring of flames naturally came from Roy.

Even Roy hadn't expected that his return this time would bring such a pleasant surprise.

Ye An was in enlightenment. Once he absorbed the gains from this enlightenment, he would likely become an Ancient Emperor level expert who had undergone a transformation in his laws.

Of course, because Ye An was not a founder, and did not possess a "Dao Fruit," his own strength was only equivalent to a God's combat power. However, this was still sufficient to guard the Sun Star.

Three days later, Ye An emerged from his enlightenment, opening his eyes. A powerful aura emanated from his body.

However, this aura, which was ten times stronger than before, could not cause the ring of flames around Ye An to waver even slightly.

Sensing the familiar aura within the flames, Ye An rejoiced.

"Teacher!"

"Indeed, Ye An, you've grown and become capable of standing on your own."

Roy dispersed the flames surrounding Ye An and gently patted his shoulder, saying with relief.

"Yes, Teacher, I've guarded humanity well."

"It's just... it's just Pingzi..."

Ye An's eyes reddened, his voice choked with emotion.

"If only I had broken through a bit sooner, Pingzi wouldn't have had to self-detonate..."

Roy listened quietly as Ye An recounted the events of the past thousand years, feeling Ye An's joy, anger, grief, and indignation, which ultimately transformed into satisfaction for paving the way for a new era for the younger generation.

"You are all good children..."

"However, Ye An, I may have to make you bleed and sacrifice yourselves again."

"Ah?"

Ye An was startled by Roy's words, but then he immediately said with solemnity, "Teacher, what are you saying? We have never hesitated to shed blood or sacrifice ourselves for you. With just a word from you, we would die without regret!"

In Ye An's heart, his teacher was the savior of humanity.

Because of his teacher, the Sun Dynasty existed.

Because of the Qi Gathering Stance, humanity now had so many powerful warriors.

Ye An believed that if his teacher spoke a single word, hundreds of millions of humans would gladly die for him!

"Mm."

Roy did not refute Ye An's words.

Although he was preparing to lead the warriors of the Sun Star to conquer the starry sky, under the banner of liberating all humanity in the universe, the ultimate beneficiaries were himself. Therefore, in a way, Ye An was right.

"Then, spread the word."

"In the vast, endless universe, on many planets, humans are still living the life we did over a thousand years ago."

"Now, we have become the sovereigns of this planet, but there are still people on many other planets who need our help."

"This time, I plan to lead three Saint Realms, a thousand Level 9 warriors, three thousand Level 8 warriors, and twenty thousand Level 7 warriors to conquer the starry sky with me!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

...

As Roy prepared to conquer the universe, the people he had sent to various parts of the Starry Sky Universe had also begun their own cultivation.

Tina was teleported to a forest bordering a river.

"This body... so weak!"

"And I can even feel hunger?"

Compared to her own powerful Soul Power, Tina felt her current body was simply too weak.

More than cultivating, Tina felt that what she needed to do now was find shelter from the wind and rain, and find food to fill her stomach.

Tina extended her index finger, and small sparks gathered at her fingertip. She then pointed forward.

"Pfft—"

A faint sound of air being broken echoed as a crimson beam shot out from Tina's fingertip, hitting a fleeing wild rabbit and instantly killing it.

Tina walked forward a few steps and lifted the rabbit she had killed.

This would be her food for today.

"Fortunately, the first law in this universe that Teacher has established is the Law of Fire. I can barely summon a trace of it, so I have some means of self-preservation."

"However, the path of flames is not my path..."

In the Magic Universe, Tina had achieved Paragon in both the Fire Element and the Earth Element.

If she wanted to, she could definitely create the Earthly Laws within ten years or achieve Emperor level through the path of fire.

However, Tina did not want to use the Fire Element and Earth Element as her "Dao" in the Starry Sky Universe.

Of course, this wasn't because Tina thought she would lose in a "Dao struggle" with the others.

It was because Tina genuinely felt that the Earthly Laws and the Law of Fire were simply too ordinary.

She was Roy's only disciple.

Teacher Roy had cultivated from an ordinary human, breaking through the limitations of the universe and becoming a great being capable of creating universes.

Since Teacher had allowed them to create laws in the Starry Sky Universe, it must be that the laws they created were useful to Teacher, or useful to the Starry Sky Universe.

But whether it was useful to Teacher or to the Starry Sky Universe, the more powerful the laws they created, the happier Teacher would surely be.

Given this, how could Tina possibly focus her efforts on the most ordinary Earthly Laws and Law of Fire?

Tina still remembered how profoundly she had been shaken when her teacher had transmitted knowledge directly to her soul when she was studying with him.

What a marvelous ability it was to convey words that would normally take several breaths to speak into someone's soul in an instant!

Based on this soul transmission, and under Teacher's guidance, Tina had developed the ability "Mirror Flower Water Moon."

Tina truly felt in her heart that her "Mirror Flower Water Moon" was countless times stronger than the Earthly Laws or the Law of Fire.
