Amazing! Did they give me the wrong newbie gift pack?

In that vast and mysterious void plane, Mo Xie, who had already transformed into an other-dimensional holy dragon, was agile and majestic. In an instant, like a shooting star that pierced the darkness, he straightened his body and flew swiftly towards the core area of ​​the void plane.

As time ticked by, the surrounding scenery grew increasingly eerie and bizarre. A dense purple light, like a tidal wave, almost completely engulfed the world, filling every inch of space with this mysterious color.

Countless strangely shaped minerals grow abruptly, their twisted lines resembling the unrestrained brushstrokes of a mad artist; while the plants spread wildly in a way that defies common sense, their branches and leaves twisting and intertwining as if telling the untold secrets of this plane.

Mo Xie's piercing gaze was firmly fixed on the direction of the primordial power of the void plane, as if following the guidance of destiny.

He exuded a chilling, bone-piercing dragon breath, so tangible that it slightly distorted the space around him. His enormous wings flapped powerfully, each flap tearing through the void like a veil, accompanied by deafening howls, as if announcing his arrival to this plane.

The purple light dancing on his scales, like agile sprites, reflected his cold and resolute features, adding to his mystery and majesty.

The closer one gets to the center of the void plane, the more violent the surrounding energy fluctuations become, like a raging tsunami. It's as if an invisible giant hand is wantonly stirring up this space, making the energy chaotic and disorderly.

Amidst the twisted growth of minerals and plants, strange creatures emitting an eerie glow would occasionally dart out unexpectedly.

Their forms were elusive, like ghosts from the underworld, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced madly at Mo Xie. Their ferocious faces and malicious eyes seemed to want to devour Mo Xie completely.

Mo Xie's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through the darkness and discern the monsters' every intention. Then, he opened his blood-red maw, and blazing dragon flames erupted like a volcanic eruption.

In an instant, the raging flames formed a massive wall of fire, mercilessly engulfing the monsters. From within the flames, the monsters let out pitiful screams, leaving behind only a nauseating stench that slowly permeated the air.

Finally, after a long flight, a vortex radiating a mysterious aura appeared ahead. This vortex was like a deep cosmic black hole, exuding a chilling power, as if it wanted to suck everything in the world into it. And at the center of the vortex, a crystal emitting a soft purple light was quietly suspended, which was the core of the entire void plane—the source of the primordial power.

"Finally found it! The primal power of the void plane!" Mo Xie raised his majestic dragon head high, his eyes filled with an uncontrollable desire as he stared intently at the purple crystal inside the vortex before him, as if it were the ultimate treasure he had been searching for.

"System! Begin! Integrate it into the template of Emperor Shitian!" Mo Xie commanded coldly and decisively, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority.

At that moment, the system's emotionless voice rang in Mo Xie's mind: "Host, would you like to inject some of the energy into the system's reserve energy to unlock higher-level templates and rewards?"

"Higher-level templates and rewards? What do you mean?!" Upon hearing this, Mo Xie couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt, and asked with a hint of confusion in his voice.

The system answered methodically: "Many templates and rewards were originally sealed due to the host's plane of existence. For example, the Indra template was initially virtually impossible to obtain; it would have been possible only after the host defeated the Void Plane. However, due to the host's extraordinary luck, it was obtained directly! This also resulted in a significant depletion of system energy, but now we can rely on this source power to completely unlock these sealed rewards."

"Fine! You bastard! You're withholding my reward?!" Upon hearing this, Mo Xie was instantly enraged and couldn't help but curse. He secretly thought to himself that if he hadn't been incredibly lucky to draw the Emperor Shitian template, he would probably still be cautiously dealing with Karl, struggling to survive amidst various dangers!

"You son of a bitch! You bastard! You son of a bitch! You're a son of a bitch!" Thinking about how he almost got tricked, Mo Xie could no longer contain his anger and a string of curses came out.

The system seemed to sense Mo Xie's anger and awkwardly explained, "The energy level of a typical mid-level plane is too low. To fully activate the system, a large amount of primordial power is needed, which would cause instability in the host's plane and might even lead to its collapse. So... host... this really isn't my fault!"

"Alright, alright! Let's absorb it then! And upgrade the Emperor Shitian template while you're at it!" Hearing the system's explanation, Mo Xie, though still dissatisfied, waved his hand impatiently and said.

Upon hearing this, the system immediately and decisively replied, "Received!"

As the system announced "Received," the vortex radiating a mysterious aura seemed to be drawn by some powerful force, and like a ignited powder keg, it instantly began to spin violently. The speed of the spin increased rapidly, as if it would engulf everything around it.

The purple crystal at the center of the vortex shone brightly, like a supernova suddenly exploding. Thick beams of purple energy shot out from it like arrows, surging towards Mo Xie. Wherever the energy beams passed, space seemed to be torn apart, emitting a series of ear-piercing sounds.

Seeing this, Mo Xie suddenly spread his wings, like two huge canopies, completely protecting himself within them. He fearlessly allowed the violent energy to crash against his body like a storm. Each impact of the energy made his body tremble slightly, but his eyes became more and more determined.

The purple energy, like countless agile and aggressive tentacles, roamed wildly around Mo Xie's body, eagerly searching for every possible crevice, trying to burrow between his scales, merge into his body, and become one with his power.

Mo Xie's dragon breath was equally fierce, engaging in a fierce struggle against this foreign energy. In an instant, light flashed and energy overflowed. The dragon breath and purple energy collided, erupting in dazzling light, like countless small stars exploding simultaneously around Mo Xie, illuminating the surrounding space as if it were daytime.

At the same time, the system's mechanical voice kept ringing in Mo Xie's mind: "Absorbing the power of the void plane's origin... Power fusion rate 10%... 20%..." With each percentage point increase, Mo Xie could clearly feel his power increasing at an astonishing rate. A brand new power, full of destruction and creation, surged within him like a raging undercurrent, as if it wanted to break through the constraints of his body and unleash boundless power.

As the fusion level gradually increased, Mo Xie's body began to undergo subtle yet astonishing changes. The originally blue-purple scales became even more dazzling, like top-grade gems embedded in the night sky, radiating a dazzling light.

On the surface of the scales, mysterious runes slowly emerged as if they had come to life. These runes shimmered with golden light, echoing the purple energy, as if performing an ancient and mysterious ritual.

His dragon horns became even longer and sharper, like two blades piercing the sky, with the cold light at the tips becoming increasingly dazzling, as if a gentle wave could easily tear through space and open a passage to the unknown.

"Fusion rate 50%... Upgrading the Emperor Shitian template..." The system notification sounded again. Mo Xie could clearly feel that the connection between himself and the Emperor Shitian template had become closer than ever before, as if a blood-related bond had been established between the two.

The previously vague abilities in the template gradually became clearer, like mist dissipating. He seemed to see a completely new version of himself, possessing unimaginable power and even more mysterious and unpredictable skills. These powers seemed to allow him to manipulate events and control everything on the stage of the universe.

However, just as Mo Xie was immersed in the joy of his increased power, a sudden change occurred. A violent tremor suddenly struck the void plane, as if the entire world had suffered a devastating blow at that moment. The already twisted and twisted mineral plants began to explode under the impact of this powerful force.

With a series of muffled explosions, plumes of black smoke, like the tentacles of a demon, surged wildly from the shattered plants and ore, quickly spreading and instantly turning the surrounding space into pitch black.

From within this darkness, a low, guttural roar echoed, as if a demon slumbering in the abyss had been awakened. Then, a group of enormous monsters, radiating an aura of malevolence, slowly emerged from the smoke. Their bodies were as massive as mountains, each step causing the ground to tremble. Their eyes gleamed with a blood-red light, like two burning flames, radiating boundless malice and greed.

The low roars emanating from their mouths sounded like curses from hell, sending chills down one's spine. These monsters seemed to be enraged by Mo Xie's act of absorbing the power of origin. They slowly gathered together, like a black tide, surging towards Mo Xie as if to completely drown him and defend some unknown order of this plane.

"Hmph, a bunch of ignorant fools!" Mo Xie sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. With a flap of his wings, a powerful storm of dragonfire instantly roared out from the edges of his wings, sweeping towards the monster horde like a charging fire dragon. Wherever the dragonfire passed, the air was instantly ignited, crackling and popping.

The black smoke vanished instantly under the impact of the dragon's flames, like snow meeting the blazing sun. The monsters at the forefront, scorched by the flames, let out miserable screams. Their bodies burned rapidly in the flames, emitting a pungent, acrid smell.

However, these monsters seemed tireless and fearless. They continued to charge towards Mo Xie relentlessly, as if they would not hesitate to be shattered to pieces just to devour her. Seeing the endless stream of monsters, Mo Xie knew that she could not delay any longer.

"System, how much progress is left in the fusion?" Mo Xie asked the system while dealing with the monster's attacks, his tone tinged with anxiety.

"Fusion rate 70%... It is estimated that the fusion will be completed in three more minutes." The system responded quickly, its voice still devoid of any emotion.

"Three minutes? That's enough!" Mo Xie calculated to himself. He knew that these three minutes were crucial and that he had to finish the battle quickly. So, he concentrated all his energy and mobilized the power of the Void Origin that he had just merged with.

The power within him surged like a raging torrent, flowing and surging with his will. He raised his dragon head high, and a massive energy ball rapidly condensed in his mouth.

The surface of this energy sphere shimmered with purple, blue, and gold light, the three colors intertwining to form a wondrous and powerful force. Inside the energy sphere, countless stars seemed to twinkle and explode, containing a terrifying, world-destroying power.

"Die! Chaos Dimension!" Mo Xie roared, his voice booming like thunder in the void. He hurled the energy ball at the monster horde, and the ball, like a meteor, hurtled into the monsters with unstoppable force.

Instantly, the energy sphere exploded amidst the monster horde, a dazzling light illuminating the entire void plane like a solar eruption. The light was so intense that it was almost impossible to look directly at it. Powerful energy fluctuations spread outwards from the point of explosion like surging waves.

Wherever it went, the monsters were reduced to dust like fragile ants, vanishing into nothingness in the face of this powerful force. Even the hardest ores and the twisted, growing plants were leveled and disappeared without a trace under the impact of this energy.

"Fusion rate 90%...100%! Fusion complete! Emperor Shitian template successfully upgraded!" The system notification finally sounded. Mo Xie felt the surging power within his body, as if he had become the master of this universe.

His heart was filled with confidence, and an unprecedented sense of power welled up within him.

He looked back at the center of the void plane. This time, the mysterious vortex had vanished, as if it had never existed. The power of the void's origin had been completely absorbed by him and become part of his power.

Mo Xie knew that his strength had undergone earth-shattering changes. Next, he would step onto a broader cosmic stage with a brand new attitude to achieve those goals that were once out of reach. And those enemies who once blocked his way would tremble and fear in the face of his new power.
