CHAPTER 97 EGG

"What the?! What the hell is this?!" He roars, inside of him, there is an egg, it seems to be glowing with intense light.

"System, What is this?!" He roars, he can sense that vast amounts of his vitality, spiritual energy and Mana are being absorbed by the egg.

[An egg of a world guardian, it is now transforming into a royal beast after absorbing your emperor Qi, the host does not need to worry, this will help you stabilise the fate of your kingdom and increase your cultivation speed.]

"So amazing? Why did you give such a marvelous item to me, I cannot deny that the centaurs are powerful but they should not be enough for you to reward me with such a magical beast." He asks.

[This is not just the reward for defeating the Centaurs but also another reward for becoming a king, you have improved too fast, your foundations are just too weak compared to true kingdoms, this will help you bridge the gap between you and the other kingdoms.]

'Stabilizing fate, huh, I truly need such an object, fate power might be mysterious and is not easy to master but it is undeniable that it is strong.' He thought.

He takes a deep breath and decides to wait for the egg to hatch before going back to the lower realm, he feels very weak at the current moment.

His kingdom starts shaking, this causes him to stand up but only to fall down because of his current condition.

"What is happening?!" This is the worst, he is unable to stand up properly because of the greedy absorption of the egg.

[Your kingdom and subsidiary worlds are being affected by the egg inside of your inner world, the egg does not have any potential but it is also not trash, it varies in each individual, the higher the potential of the host, the higher their potential will become.]

"Oh, so this means that I am some sort of heaven-defying genius?" He laughs lightly, out of strength but he is feeling great being praised by the system.

[Yes, but at the same time, no, there are races in this world that are born as Xiantian Lords, there are even races that are born a hundred times stronger than Xiantian Lords.]

[The egg is transforming this much, not just because of you, but also because of the four worlds under you.]

Shadow raises his eyebrows, his pride seems to have taken a blow but he just shrugs it off after thinking about the existence of his techniques.

[The eggs are sought after by every king and emperor in existence, not because of the strength that the creature possesses but the abilities that they can manifest.]

"Wow, to think that you have given me such a great reward, I cannot deny, I am extremely flattered by you." He says, while his body is still being drained by the egg.

[.... Each race has their own system of power that grants them strength, I am unique, I am-]

Unfortunately, he can no longer hear anything, just as he is confused, a powerful might descends, everyone in the kingdom is fine, it seems that they do not sense it but the situation is vastly different for him.

He feels a crushing pressure that seems to be able to destroy him with ease, it was just a fleeting moment but it was still terrifying.

It is as if, a powerful entity is angered, this confuses him, he knows that the Centaurs are powerful but they are on the edge of the higher realm, just like them, they should not have such a powerhouse in their kingdom.

"Who or What was it?" He asks himself, he then realises something, the system disappears after having its words cut off.

His instinct is telling him that it is the system that angered the powerful entity, it seems that it has shared something that it is not supposed to come out of light.

"Unique?" He mumbles quietly, he clenches his fist tightly, he is not afraid, that powerful entity might be able to destroy their kingdom with ease but he is confident that he will be able to grow stronger in the future, he will no longer cower under such pressure.

"System, system, are you there?" Hearing no response, he can only sigh, he decides not to dig deeper on their last conversation, his kingdom is still unable to withstand the wrath of the entity that the despairing pressure originates from.

"Fortunately, this egg seems to have absorbed the power of that pressure, if not, my mind would have been broken." Letting out a sigh of relief, he stands up and dusts himself up.

It seems that the tiny hint of power from that pressure actually satiates the greedy egg, he seems to receive a powerful boost of power from it.

*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK* Cracking sounds can be heard, this startles him but he quickly becomes excited, the egg is finally hatching, he cannot wait to see just what kind of creature he had given birth to.

According to the system, each of these wondrous eggs hatches into an appearance that is actually tied to their hosts.

A creature comes out of the egg but it looks totally normal, other than being cute, it seems to serve no purpose.

It starts eating its eggshell and lets out a cute burping sound, Shadow is dumbfounded, his expression turns strange.

"This, Is this the powerful creature that the system has talked about? It seems to be quite normal to me." He mumbles to himself.

He wants to see its status but since the system is still offline, he can only wait, the creature jumps out of his body and looks at its surroundings.

'I cannot deny that it is cute but I know for a fact that looks can be deceiving, maybe, it is still growing.' He thought, shrugging his shoulder, he decided not to ponder about the appearance of his new partner.
