Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

The border of Daxia.

boom--!

A blue figure broke through the mist and crashed heavily into the weeds below...

"Cough cough... What kind of bullshit fog is this? I almost died in it."

The blue figure slowly shrank, transforming into a boy.

On his way back to Great Xia, the boy was suddenly attacked by two mysterious creatures from the "Sea" Realm, and it took him a lot of effort to shake them off.

"No, we need to get to the capital as soon as possible; that guy will be back soon..."

The boy glanced back at the gray mist behind him, a smile playing on his lips, a strange emotion flickering in his eyes...

……

"Evolving... Vital signs normal... Mental energy fluctuations continue to rise... Approaching the 'Sea' realm..."

In the gray mist, a beam of multicolored light pierced through the fog and darkness, as if it were about to tear through the sky.

Beneath the mist, colorful energy spread rapidly in all directions in ripples!

All buildings within a radius of a hundred miles were reduced to ashes by this tidal wave of energy.

At the center of the energy pillar, a ball of black liquid floated in the mouth, constantly deforming as if being grasped and squeezed by an invisible hand, with strands of golden energy emanating from it.

In the distance, Fen Tian's face was furrowed as she stared intently at the black liquid, refusing to leave despite the surging tides of energy that struck her body like heavy hammers.

"Mental energy has broken through the 'Sea' realm... Excess mental energy remaining... Target 'Burning Heaven,' initiating energy diversion..."

boom--!

With a deafening explosion that shook the heavens, the five-colored beam of light was torn apart as if by a giant hand, and a red energy slammed into the sky!

"Roar--!!!"

As the dragon roared, a massive amount of spiritual energy was poured into the enormous dragon body of Burning Sky!

In just a few breaths, the shackles of the Burning Heaven "Sea" realm were instantly broken, and it entered the "Boundless" realm!

The colorful beam of light vanished in the blink of an eye, like a flashlight that had been switched off.

In the towering mist, it took several minutes for the enormous hole to be slowly filled.

With his demonic body now clad in steel armor, Chen Shu, lacking the energy to support him, plummeted straight to the ground.

"...System, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss about going from the 'river' realm to the 'sea' realm?"

Chen Shu got up from the ground and transformed into human form.

"This fusion of the Forbidden Ruins [Evolution] is very suitable for the host, and coupled with the system's premium reward [Extinction Virus], such a commotion is within the normal range."

The system seemed quite happy, and its voice, which had been maintaining the same tone, miraculously became a little more human.

"Owner……"

A soft murmur came from afar, and then, Fentian's figure appeared in the mist.

Seeing that Chen Shu was alright, Fen Tian's tired face broke into a smile.

Chen Shu saw Fen Tian's tired face and frowned slightly.

"Fentian, what's wrong with you?"

Fen Tian shook his head, "I want to sleep..."

"what?"

Chen Shu was surprised and stepped forward to support Fen Tian, ​​who looked like he could collapse and fall asleep at any moment.

"System, what's wrong with her?"

The system's calm tone carried a hint of sarcasm: "Host, there's no need to worry. After the Earth Dragon reaches 'Boundless,' the sealed inheritance in the Dragon Vein's genes will be broken, and she will suddenly receive a large amount of information. She needs to digest it."

"In addition, it is recommended that the host return to the territory of Great Xia as soon as possible and not delay on the road."

Chen Shu immediately sensed something was wrong when his system, which never interfered with him, suddenly gave him such advice. He didn't have time to ask how Fen Tian had broken through.

"System, what does that mean?"

This time, the system fell silent, as if considering whether or not to tell Chen Shu the reason for doing so.

"...I cannot disclose the specific reasons. The host only needs to follow my instructions."

The system, which had previously been completely invisible, was now suddenly starting to act strangely towards him. Chen Shu couldn't help but wonder if it had something very important to say.

Without thinking too much, Chen Shu knew the system must have its reasons for doing this. Supporting Fen Tian, ​​he whispered, "Let's go back to Great Xia now. Shall I hold you?"

"Um……"

Fen Tian could no longer control his heavy eyelids, let out a soft hum, and then fell into a deep sleep.

"Sigh, I hope I don't encounter anything beyond the 'Boundless' realm."

Chen Shu scooped up Fentian horizontally, his dragon wings unfurling behind him. As they passed a large yellow dog, a tentacle carried him along, and they flew rapidly toward the Great Xia.

Three days later.

Shangjing.

At the gate of Qin Mansion.

"Brother Xia Ke, you don't need to follow me today. I've made plans to go out and play with Ya'er."

Qin Xue stood at the door, turned around and looked at the swordsman who was following closely behind her, and looked very happy.

"...I will not appear before you." The swordsman remained calm.

"Hey! Brother Xia, I'm going to get angry if you keep doing this! What kind of behavior is it for two girls to go out and play while you're secretly watching us?"

Qin Xue stomped her foot angrily and turned away, ignoring the stubborn swordsman.

"Tell her to bring a man with her too."

The swordsman remained indifferent, seemingly oblivious to Qin Xue's unhappiness.

"Oh! What are you..."

"Xiaoxue." Just as Qin Xue was getting angry, a familiar voice came from the alley entrance.

Qin Xue looked towards the alley entrance following the sound, her unhappy mood vanishing in an instant, replaced by an unprecedented joy, "Brother Chen Shu!"

Qin Xue strode towards Chen Shu, but a long sword suddenly blocked her way.

The swordsman had somehow appeared in front of Qin Xue, his bamboo hat slightly raised, his murderous eyes fixed on Chen Shu at the alley entrance.

“I don’t care who you are. If you dare to have any improper thoughts about her, I don’t mind killing someone right under the Night’s Watch’s nose.”

His calm tone was filled with an air of fearless dominance, beneath which lay an undisguised murderous intent.

"Brother Xia Ke..." Qin Xue reached out and gently tugged at Xia Ke's sleeve, not understanding why the two, who hadn't seen each other for half a year, were so tense upon their reunion.

The swordsman didn't explain Qin Xue's actions, but his usually calm tone became unusually serious, "Go home... If I fight with him, immediately notify the Night Watch."

The symbiote within Xia Ke showed no reaction to Chen Shu, as if he were no longer its "king".

Given Chen Shu's strength, anyone who dares to impersonate him must be at least at the "Chuan" realm. Therefore, he would definitely not be a match for them. Calling the Night Watchmen is the safest course of action.

Upon hearing the words "fight," Qin Xue's face immediately turned pale. She wanted to try to persuade them again, but didn't know how to start.

Looking at the knight's serious expression, Chen Shu couldn't help but feel a little amused.

"Haha, chivalrous hero, what are you doing? It's only been half a year since we last met, don't you recognize me?"

The swordsman drew his longsword, ready to fight at any moment. "Why hasn't Fentian returned?"

"Oh dear!" Chen Shu said calmly, "She went back to Shacheng first."
