Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 1198 - 623: Ancient Dragon Emperor, Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate! (Part 2)

His massive body became elongated and agile, with his surface covered in shiny, glossy scales, appearing extremely dignified.

Moreover, his scalp was itching, as if something was growing out of his head.

"Is this the transformation into a dragon?"

Lu Yuan felt a moment of realization arise in his heart.

In merely a few breaths.

He transformed from a Sea Race overlord into a genuine True Dragon!

"Roar!"

Lu Yuan roared to the sky, his body moved and he soared into the clouds, freely traveling above the nine heavens!

Immediately after.

Consciousness returned.

Lu Yuan gradually awoke from the illusion he had just experienced.

However, although it was an illusion, everything that happened just now seemed more real than the reality.

It was as if he truly lived the life of a small fish in that painting.

Though the experiences in the painting seemed long, only a few breaths passed in reality.

Not only that.

When Lu Yuan came to, he examined himself carefully.

He unexpectedly found that his already incredibly strong Divine Thought Power had increased by at least thirty percent!

"Has my Divine Thought become stronger?"

Lu Yuan's expression was astonished, feeling somewhat incredulous.

At his current realm, whether it's the flesh body, the Divine Soul, or Daoist Skills, they have all been enhanced to the extreme.

Even if secluding for an entire Era wouldn't necessarily increase his power.

But what is the situation with this Carp Leaping Dragon Gate Painting?

In just a few breaths, his Divine Thought Power increased so much?

If other demigod-level experts knew, they would certainly be twisted with jealousy!

"Hehe, now you finally understand the benefits of this painting, don't you?"

The Destiny Golden Dragon, seeing that Lu Yuan had awakened, spoke in a somewhat proud tone.

"This is the Carp Leaping Dragon Gate Painting drawn by the Ancient Dragon Emperor when he became a god during enlightenment, based on his own experiences."

"Within this painting, a remnant of the Ancient Dragon Emperor's Law Origin remains. Any being below the Divine Realm who can leap over that dragon gate can gain immense benefits from it!"

The Destiny Golden Dragon explained these ancient secrets with ease.

"But you, young man, are truly a person born of destiny, to leap over that dragon gate in such a short time."

"The Great Flame Ancestor, that worthless creature, spent over a million years and still wasn't successful."

The Destiny Golden Dragon marveled.

"So all those experiences just now were the Ancient Dragon Emperor's own?"

Lu Yuan mused thoughtfully.

With the frail body of a small fish trying to leap over the Heaven-Reaching Dragon Gate, this is nearly an impossible task.

Even with a determined Daoist heart like Lu Yuan's, after numerous failures, he considered giving up.

Fortunately, through countless reincarnations, he had tempered his Daoist heart to be incredibly resilient, allowing him to reluctantly persist.

Moreover, the transformation of a golden carp into a dragon relies on the right timing, geography, and interpersonal harmony—all indispensable.

If the timing is wrong, no matter how firm the Daoist heart, it ultimately leads to failure.

On careful reflection.

Although Lu Yuan faced numerous life-threatening dangers in that painting, each time he managed to turn peril into safety.

If it was just once or twice, perhaps it could be attributed to good luck.

But to overcome adversity every time, that's not just simple luck.

"It seems it is also due to the blessing of the Destiny Golden Dragon that I succeeded in one attempt."

Lu Yuan realized the cause and effect, and his regard for the Destiny Golden Dragon deepened.

After all, the effect of the Destiny Golden Dragon is overwhelmingly extraordinary.

As long as you keep it by your side, no matter what you embark upon, success is certain!

Moreover.

The Destiny Golden Dragon is knowledgeable, especially fond of treasure hunting and appraisal, accumulating immeasurable experience and knowledge over the years, akin to an encyclopedia of the Ten Thousand Realms!

"Senior, can I still use this painting?"

Lu Yuan looked at the Carp Leaping Dragon Gate Painting, his eyes somewhat fervent.

The value of this painting is too precious.

Once you leap over the dragon gate, it can make the Divine Soul soar.

If he leapt multiple times, wouldn't that enhance the strength of his Divine Soul to surpass even the deities?

"No."

The Destiny Golden Dragon clearly understood Lu Yuan's intention and shook his head immediately.

"There's no such good fortune in the world, everyone can only leap over the dragon gate once. After succeeding, the painting loses its effect on you."

"Moreover, the painting consumes immensely, with each use requiring a vast amount of the Power of Faith."

"If you have close blood relatives or trusted subordinates, you could use this painting to enhance their Divine Souls."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan wasn't too disappointed.

After all, one shouldn't be too greedy.

The painting allowing his Divine Soul to surge was already a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could he crave more?

Nonetheless, the painting's effect on enhancing the Divine Soul is immediate, so it could be offered to Wuxin and Shi Tao to strengthen their Divine Souls.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, solemnly putting the painting away.

Then.

The Destiny Golden Dragon continued to stroll around the cave, seeking other valuable treasures.

However, the Great Flame Ancestor is merely demigod-level in power, while his foundation is rich, the items capable of catching the Destiny Golden Dragon's eye are limited.

The Destiny Golden Dragon searched around, yet was unable to find treasures worthy of its attention, leading instantly to dissatisfaction.

So it turned into a golden rope, tightly encircled Lu Yuan's wrist, and fell into slumber.

Since the cave no longer possesses noteworthy value, Lu Yuan had no intention of wasting time, entrusting all matters to Wuxin for handling.

"Wait a moment!"

Just when the Destiny Golden Dragon was about to fall into deep sleep, it seemed to recall something, suddenly raised its head and asked.

"The Great Flame Ancestor is cunning, certainly he carried many good things around!"

"Why didn't you collect his storage ring when you dealt with him?"

The Destiny Golden Dragon questioned dubiously.

As a demigod level existence, the Great Flame Ancestor would certainly keep numerous precious items within reach.

Thus, compared to the cave.

The treasures inside his storage ring are undoubtedly more precious and important!

"It can't be done, simulators avoid losing items or allowing their own possessions to fall into enemy's hands, usually placing treasures within the simulation space."

"When a simulator dies, their space collapses as it's linked to their life, further, I have no method to forcibly open someone else's space."

Lu Yuan replied helplessly.

Given his frugal nature and habit of collecting spoils after battles.

If there was a way to access the Great Flame Ancestor's storage space, he would have long collected all treasures.

There's no need for the Destiny Golden Dragon's reminder!

"No way, no way, I must think of a solution!"

Faced with treasures just within reach yet unable to claim them, the Destiny Golden Dragon's drowsiness vanished, displaying anxiousness akin to ants on a hot pan.

"Using shifting divine techniques, forcibly transport all treasures before us?"

"It won't work, upon space collapse, all treasures will be damaged, and even if transported at great cost, they amount to merely a pile of rubbish."

"Or reverse the River of Time, returning to past moments?"

The Destiny Golden Dragon muttered to itself, occasionally scratching its head with claws, swiftly contemplating various solutions.

"Lu Yuan, you carry the scent of space-time laws on you, could it be you've trodden that path?"

Suddenly.

The Destiny Golden Dragon's nose twitched, seemingly catching a whiff, immediately expressing delight.

"Senior's keen eyes indeed."

Lu Yuan was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this, but since the Destiny Golden Dragon noticed, there's no need to conceal anything, he simply nodded and admitted.

"In that case, it's easily solved!"

"Come, come, I'll explain an alternate application of space-time laws!"

The Destiny Golden Dragon soared, flying next to Lu Yuan's ear, whispering mysteriously.

After hearing the solution.

Lu Yuan showed some skepticism, half-disbelievingly asking: "Spatial discrepancy, causing the present and past spaces to reverse, is this method truly feasible?"

"This method was thought up by me, never tried before, but its feasibility is quite high."

The Destiny Golden Dragon spoke somewhat uncertainly.

But then it patted its chest with its claw, affirmatively promising.

"Rest assured, with my presence, even in danger, we can turn crisis into safety."

"Moreover, my fate is already tied to yours, we share prosperity and loss, would I harm you?"
