There is a beast in the bright morning.

Hao Chen went to the rooftop of a building alone and looked down at the bustling city. The city seemed exceptionally prosperous, but Hao Chen could not make himself feel part of it.

Looking up at his palms, Hao Chen couldn't help but ask himself, was this ordinary human form the most authentic version of himself? Or was the Pixiu in his dream the true form he should have taken?

Just as Hao Chen was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Hao Chen, is this really okay?"

Following the direction of the sound, Hao Chen turned around, his pupils dilating in shock, and he screamed, "Tianlu, is that you?"

He saw a small blue and white dog sitting on the ground looking at him. The blue rings on its legs were particularly eye-catching, and a big, fluffy blue curly tail was swaying back and forth behind it. It was none other than Tianlu, the Pixiu who had lived and ate with him in his dream.

When Hao Chen looked at him, Tian Lu spoke again, "Hao Chen, it's time to wake up. If you keep sleeping, you might never wake up again."

Tianlu's words struck Haochen's mind like a bolt of lightning, bringing him back to his senses.

Just then, another dissatisfied voice came from beside Tianlu: "Big brother, really, you didn't even notice me. It makes me so sad."

Hao Chen smiled and looked at the little fire dragon pouting beside Tian Lu: "Sorry, little fire dragon, it won't happen again next time."

Reminded by Tianlu, Haochen's gaze turned serious. He remembered how he had been unexpectedly, or perhaps intentionally, forced into the river of time.

He should have been going against the current, but he was stopped in the river of time. After hearing a strange baby crying, he fell into a deep sleep and entered this incredibly real world.

"It's time to go out."

Hao Chen muttered to himself. The next moment, Hao Chen's human body suddenly emitted a dazzling immortal light, and the two laws of yin and yang instantly condensed in Hao Chen's palm.

As the Yin-Yang laws condensed, Hao Chen's body twisted and contorted. In the light, Hao Chen transformed into something similar to Tian Lu, except that his color was not blue and white, but black and white, with gold trim around the black parts.

After seeing Hao Chen revert to his original Pixiu form, Tianlu and the little fire dragon smiled, said hello, and disappeared.

"Haochen, I'm waiting for you to come back."

"Go, big brother! Don't lose!"

Watching the two beasts disappear, Hao Chen did not try to stop them, because he knew that they were not the real Tianlu and Little Fire Dragon, but rather they were communicating with him through some method.

At this moment, inside the Deer Man's shop, Charizard, after finishing all of this, immediately knelt on one knee, panting heavily.

Seeing this, Tianlu couldn't help but ask, "Are you alright?"

Charizard looked at Tianlu and couldn't help but tease, "Are you worried about me?"

Tianlu turned his head away and said something that didn't match his true feelings: "You're overthinking it. Why would I care about a stinky lizard like you?"

Seeing this, Charizard didn't care about Tianlu's attitude, and its body suddenly shrank back to the form of a small Charmander.

"I'm fine, just a little exhausted. It's not really necessary, but I still want to say thank you."

As Charizard became exhausted, it reverted to Charmander, and the mirror in mid-air lost its divine power, ceasing to emit any light and returning to Charmander's body.

Upon seeing this, Tianlu immediately became anxious: "Hey, what happened? How is Haochen?"

Charmander then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but Big Brother should be alright. I just don't know what it will take for him to come back."

Tianlu originally wanted to tell the little fire dragon to persevere, but after seeing the cold sweat on its head...

Tianlu immediately realized that showing them Haochen's condition had probably taken a toll on Little Fire Dragon, so he didn't ask Little Fire Dragon to continue.

"Alright, since Haochen is alright, Rabbit and I will head back now. Pipi, you and Walnut shouldn't stay out too late, and remember to come back for dinner before dinner."

Just as the Qilin was about to leave, the little fire dragon suddenly called out to it: "Wait, Qilin, I have something you really need."

Upon hearing Charmander's words, the Qilin unconsciously stopped and turned to look at Charmander. It couldn't think of anything it needed most.

The little fire dragon didn't intend to let the four-legged creature guess; it directly took out the Seed of Reincarnation that Dark Night had given it.

The Qilin was somewhat puzzled when the little fire dragon suddenly took out a strange fruit, but the little fire dragon said, "This is the Seed of Reincarnation that my elder brother found. I heard you need it."

(Charmander: It was exchanged for my older brother's help; it's not wrong to say that my older brother found it.)

The Four-Unlikes was initially a little confused, but Rabbit reminded him, "Four-Unlikes, isn't your friend Yingzhao in need of the Seed of Reincarnation?"

Hearing Rabbit Lord's words, the Qilin was overjoyed and picked up the little fire dragon: "Little fire dragon, you said this in your hand is the Seed of Reincarnation? Really?"

"It's real, more real than real gold, take it quickly." The little fire dragon handed the Seed of Reincarnation to the Qilin.

When the Qilin obtained the Seed of Reincarnation, it sensed the true meaning of reincarnation and instantly believed it to be 80% of the time. The remaining 20% ​​depended on its effects.

"Excuse me." The four-legged creature put down the little fire dragon, then pulled the rabbit away: "Rabbit, come with me to find the Flower Bird to rescue Yingzhao."

With the departure of the Four-Faced Beast and the Rabbit God, the Xie Zhi also requested to be dismissed, as he still had to train his 48 little Xie Zhi.

Seeing that only a few of them were left, Walnut asked, "Pipi, Little Fire Dragon, do you want to play games with me and Fuzai?"

Tianlu asked curiously, "What game?"

After thinking for a moment, Walnut said, "Fuzi, let's play hide-and-seek?"

Fuzi and Walnut both nodded in agreement, but Little Fire Dragon refused, saying, "Childish, you guys play by yourselves, I'm going back to sleep."

However, Walnut wasn't about to let Little Fire Dragon off so easily. After exchanging a glance with Tianlu, they grabbed both of Little Fire Dragon's hands and pulled him back.

And so, the four little ones started playing hide-and-seek. However, because of the flames on its tail, the little dragon couldn't hide at all and was always the first to be caught.

Even so, the little dragon didn't leave, and happily continued playing...

On the other side, after Hao Chen transformed back into a Pixiu, he instantly broke through the divine dream realm. The bubble enveloping him shattered instantly, and he reappeared in the silvery-white river of time.

Before Hao Chen could figure out how to get back, the space above his head suddenly cracked open, shattering like glass.

Upon seeing this, Hao Chen looked around in great shock: "This is the River of Time, isn't it? Who could break through the space of the River of Time?"

The spatial rift quickly expanded to about ten meters in size, and suddenly bursts of dazzling light emanated from the dark opening. A figure slowly approached from within the light.

When Hao Chen got a clear look, he saw a human-shaped angel with six pairs of wings hovering at the crack.

This angel looks very holy, but upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the angel's entire body is covered with blue pupils.

The ribbon-like things on the shoulders were actually umbilical cords. Hao Chen then heard the cries of a baby, which came from the angel's body.

Upon closer inspection, besides the countless eyeballs, the six-winged angel's body also contained many infant heads embedded within it, which made Hao Chen feel extremely uncomfortable: "What is this thing? It's disgusting!"

Before Hao Chen could react to the angel, the angel suddenly let out a female roar.

The sharp, piercing sound waves stirred up boundless waves in the river of time, as if disrupting the flow of years, causing alarm bells to ring in Hao Chen's heart.

Before Hao Chen could retaliate, a man dressed in black suddenly appeared in front of him, instantly drawing runes in front of him to block the angel's sonic attack.

"Who are you, and why did you save me?" Hao Chen asked as he backed away. He sensed a threat from the man in black, who was clearly incredibly strong.

The man in black didn't speak, but instead pulled Hao Chen towards him with a single palm strike.

After stroking Hao Chen's fur a few times, the man in black whispered, "Tsk tsk, I'm sorry to have wronged you, Dao Zi."

"What did you call me? And what did you say about me being wronged?"

Hao Chen asked loudly, but the man in black did not explain anything. Instead, he forcefully threw Hao Chen upstream into the river of time.

The angel tried to stop him, but the man in black shouted angrily, "Heaven, you've gone too far. Do you really want to fight my temple to the death?"

Upon hearing this, the angel said nothing, but instead turned and went back into the spatial rift, acting very decisively.

Without the interference of the angels, the river of time gradually returned to calm and continued to flow quietly.

"The future? It seems that Daozi has returned smoothly and has had a conflict with Heaven. Otherwise, the birdmen in Heaven wouldn't be in such a hurry. Does that mean my plan has succeeded?"

After the angel left, the man in black uttered some incomprehensible words and then vanished in a phantom.

On the other side, Hao Chen was suddenly thrown away and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, don't let me find out who you are, or you're dead!"

The next moment, Hao Chen saw a white light ahead and instantly became happy: "Have we reached the exit?"

Without hesitation, Hao Chen rushed towards the exit. Soon he passed through the white light and saw the blue sky and white clouds.

But soon, Hao Chen realized he was falling: "What's going on? Why is the exit in the sky? And why can't I fly?"

Having suddenly lost the ability to fly, Hao Chen could only flail his limbs in the sky, but this still could not stop him from falling.

In a daze, Hao Chen saw several beasts on the ground, so he shouted, "Are there any kind beasts who can catch me?"

There was no time to lose. Hao Chen used his tail to slightly change the direction of his descent, landing on a white beast that looked relatively large and easy to bully, hoping that the beast would catch him.

However, the other party was obviously also caught off guard by Hao Chen's jump, and actually took a few steps back, allowing Hao Chen to have a close encounter with Mother Earth.

"Why didn't you catch me?" Hao Chen stood up and angrily questioned, but when he saw the appearance of the white beast, he was instantly stunned.

"How could it be you? Weren't you killed? Or am I still dreaming?"
