1241 An Unexpected Transformation

As Xi Meili listened to Yuan's ridiculous story of his reincarnation, her eyes would grow larger and larger until they could no longer physically widen any more. However, as crazy as he sounded, Xi Meili believed in every word that came out of his mouth without thinking for a moment that he was messing with her.

Many minutes later, Yuan ended his story, "That's the truth about my identity."

"..."

After moments of silence, Xi Meili mumbled in an excited voice, "I knew you were special when I first saw you, Yuan, but I didn't think you would be this special…"

"Now everything makes sense— at least a little more sense."

"Sorry for keeping this a secret until now. I won't blame you if you no longer want to follow me." Yuan suddenly said with a solemn look on his face.

"Huh? Why would I want to leave you? I don't care if you're the Evil God or whatever— I don't even know any of them. What made me follow you was you, Yuan, and unless you're magically going to change into a different person, this new information doesn't change anything for me."

"Thank you…"

"Anyway, I have to admit, while your various incarnations don't particularly mean anything to me," Xi Meili admitted, her curiosity piqued only slightly. "But this Immortal Monarch, he does catch my attention. If the dragon blood my family's been using for generations is actually tied to Dragon Goddess Yeyou, not the Dragon Ancestor we always believed, I can't help but wonder about the connection our ancestors had with her," she mused.

Since she was born and grew up in the Ancient Dragon City, Xi Meili had never heard of the Evil God or the Divine Paragon, so those names meant next to nothing to her. But when it came to the Immortal Monarch, who was also known as the Monarch of Beasts, she couldn't help but be a tad more curious.

"I only have a fragment of Dragon Goddess Yeyou's memories, so I cannot answer your question. As for the Immortal Monarch's memories, I am still waiting for them to return." Yuan said.

"How do your memories return? Does it just return randomly, or is there a certain trigger?"

"It's mostly random, but there were times that I had to 'collect' my memories. Kind of like a treasure hunt." He shrugged.

With her inquiries satisfied, Xi Meili shifted her attention to the vast expanse of the glistening ocean that extended endlessly before her, its beauty captivating her gaze as it stretched toward the distant horizon.

"What do you think?" Yuan asked her sometime later.

"It's beautiful and unique. While there are artificial ponds and even lakes in the Ancient Dragon City, this is my first time seeing something of this scale."

"If there's anything else that you want to see, I can take you there." Yuan then said.

"I would like to see mountains next."

"Alright."

Yuan teleported them directly in front of a mountain range a moment later.

"Wow, they look so different compared to the ones in Ancient Dragon City. They're so much taller and majestic…"

Over the next several hours, Yuan would take Xi Meili around the Nameless Emperor's Tomb, satisfying her desire to explore to her heart's content.

Once she was satisfied, Xi Meili requested to return to their first scenery by the ocean.

Yuan complied, and the next moment, they returned to their original spot.

"If the world in this place is already so beautiful, I cannot wait to see what the real world has in store for me." Xi Meili spoke with a smile.

"Are you ready to leave?" Yuan then asked.

"Just one more thing."

Xi Meili proceeded to retrieve a familiar-looking spear and extended it towards Yuan, seemingly offering it to him.

"Isn't this the Dragon's Soul? You brought it with you?" Yuan recognized the Soul Weapon at a glance.

"Yes, my father gave it to me. Now, I am giving it to you."

"Huh? Isn't this your family's heirloom? I cannot accept it, especially when your parents gave it to you." Yuan immediately refused to accept the Dragon's Soul.

Xi Meili proceeded to explain, "While Father did give it to me, he had no choice but to do so because he made a pact that he could only pass it down to a family member. He wanted to pass it down to you, but since you're not officially part of the family, he couldn't do so without risking his soul."

"However, I didn't make such a pact, hence why he gave it to me— so I could hand it to you." Xi Meili pushed the Dragon's Soul closer to him.

"Even if you say that… The Dragon's Soul is a Soul Weapon. Unless it accepts me as its master, I won't be able to use it."

"You won't know until you give it a shot," Xi Meili said, wearing a confident smile on her beautiful face.

"If you say so…"

Yuan eventually accepted the Dragon's Soul.

As his fingers closed around the spear's handle, he sensed a surge from within—an immense power stirring, as if eager to awaken.

Without any hesitation, Yuan offered his blood to the Dragon's Soul, which greedily absorbed it without delay.

The Dragon's Soul began to tremble, and the dragon around it suddenly began to move as though it was alive.

Before long, the Dragon's Soul, which had initially appeared rather ordinary, underwent a remarkable transformation, morphing into a stunningly beautiful spear.

As the transformation reached its end, the Dragon's Soul unleashed a thunderous dragon's roar, a sound so deafening that it resonated throughout the entirety of the Nameless Emperor's Tomb.

Upon hearing the dragon's roar, Yuan felt an uncanny sense of familiarity wash over him, as if he had encountered this very sound in some distant memory.

His gaze locked onto the transformed Dragon's Soul with a look of disbelief, and he mumbled in a dazed tone, "Dragon Goddess Yeyou?"

In response to Yuan's utterance, the Dragon's Soul emitted a brilliant, golden radiance.

A moment later, the Dragon's Soul vanished from Yuan's grasp, and a tall figure materialized before him.

"It's truly you…" Yuan swallowed nervously as he stared at Dragon Goddess Yeyou's ethereal face.
