Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 349: Destiny Template, True Will Manifestation (I)

On May 11th, the afternoon sun shone brightly. Golden rays pierced through the window and translucent curtains, casting a warm and gentle light that filled the room and uplifted the mood.

On the bed, a young girl slowly opened her eyes, as bright and clear as the stars. Her face was as white as jade, and her features elegant and graceful. With a touch of afternoon laziness, she appeared exceptionally stunning.

Lying on the bed, Yan Ruoyi stared blankly out the bright window, seemingly still half-asleep. After a long while, a smile suddenly appeared on her face. "Come on, it's almost over," she said, sitting up from the bed.

Soon, Yan Ruoyi, dressed in a long blue dress with purple lace, walked out of the room and instinctively looked toward the sofa.

There sat Chen Chu, dressed in a black suit with a white secret scripture book in his hand. Countless runic phantoms swirled in his eyes, mysterious and profound. Sensing her presence, he gradually withdrew his consciousness from the secret scripture.

"Brother Chu, how is your progress with the secret scripture?" Yan Ruoyi asked curiously.

Ever since she had met Chen Chu, he had spent almost all of his free time contemplating the secret scripture, sparing no time for anything else except for his nightly cultivation. Yan Ruoyi admired his unwavering perseverance.

Thanks to her father, she had met many geniuses through the years. There were prodigies who broke through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm at twenty, freaks like Bredos who carved a unique path in gene martial arts, and even outstanding talents in mech martial arts.

She had also encountered descendants of kings and Innate Awakeners. However, someone as young as Chen Chu, who achieved so much and continued to cultivate diligently without rushing, was rare. Young people often changed their mindset after surpassing their peers, but Chen Chu remained steady and hardworking.

When faced with Yan Ruoyi's question, Chen Chu thought for a moment. There was no need to hide his progress. "Almost done."

Yan Ruoyi was momentarily stunned, then incredulous. "What, you've created the secret scripture already? How is that possible?"

Chen Chu shook his head. "Not entirely, just to the seventh stage."

Even so, Yan Ruoyi was visibly shocked. Completing the seventh stage meant that the core structure, including the foundational runes, had been fully deduced. The eighth and ninth stages would naturally extend from the seventh stage's structure, so the scripture might as well be considered complete.

What shocked Yan Ruoyi the most was that Chen Chu had created a top-level secret scripture from scratch in just one month. She had no idea how to react to this.

Even high-level experts in the Ninth Heavenly Realm took years to create a secret scripture using themselves as a template. Chen Chu's achievement in one month was astonishing, especially since he had done this while being in the Sixth Heavenly Realm, not after reaching the pinnacle and backtracking.

Yan Ruoyi's eyes sparkled with amazement. "I feel like the Federation has underestimated your abilities. The so-called ultimate prodigies can't compare to you. Even Xiao Tianyi took three months to create his secret scripture from the Sixth to the Seventh Heavenly Realm ten years ago."

Chen Chu modestly shook his head. "The speed at which I perfected the secret scripture is related to the Divine Might Dragon Elephant runes. Creating from a similar foundation is much simpler than creating from nothing."

Of course, Chen Chu was being modest. His secret scripture and the Divine Might Dragon Elephant had long diverged, though it still provided an acceptable explanation for everyone.

His rapid progress was due to his contemplation of innate spatial runes and his Double Pupil of the Void, which allowed him to see the truth to solve the biggest problems.

The body created by the innate spatial runes could carry everything, and his understanding of the Thunder Fiery Emperor Beast's abilities further accelerated his progress.

He had also been modifying an existing "human" template rather than creating something entirely new, which made the process quicker. His speed was due to other factors, not any actual ability to create a secret scripture from scratch in one month.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Bai Yunfeng walked in.

Yan Ruoyi asked curiously, "Aunt Bai, didn't you go to the gym?"

"I had some business, so I came back." Bai Yunfeng looked at Chen Chu and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Chu, a king wants to meet you."

"A king wants to meet me?" Chen Chu was surprised. He couldn't recall knowing any king-level experts.

Bai Yunfeng nodded. "Yes, please wait a moment."

She took out a metal disc and operated it. The large screen on the wall flickered with static before the image of a man in his sixties appeared.

He had gray hair at his temples, but an invisible pressure emanated from him through the screen just from him standing there, giving off the aura of a high and mighty god overlooking all beings.

Bai Yunfeng said, "Hello, King Akers."

Despite his imposing aura, the old man's gaze was gentle, and his voice was aged. "Ms. Bai, Ms. Yan, and young Mr. Chen, I apologize for the intrusion."

Yan Ruoyi quickly responded courteously, "King Akers, you are a senior; it should be us who greet you first."

Chen Chu also politely said, "Greetings, King Akers."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chen Chu was quite surprised that a king-level expert would be so courteous, which raised his respect for the man. This was the magnanimity and demeanor of a true strongman.

King Akers sighed slightly. "This time, I contacted you across realms because of Kleide."

"Kleide, that person is related to you?" Chen Chu frowned slightly. He disliked having his enemies connected to his allies, as it would constrain his options.

Even Yan Ruoyi's eyes flickered with surprise at this news.

King Akers nodded slightly. "Yes."

Chen Chu slowly asked, "So do you want me to go easy on him or outright refuse Kleide's challenge?"

King Akers shook his head. "No need to go easy, just don't kill him. Injuries don't matter."

The three of them were stunned, including Bai Yunfeng, who knew some inside information.

"Can I entrust this simple request to you, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Chu nodded slowly. "No problem. I promise not to kill him, but if he sustains serious injuries and can't be treated in time..."

"Don't worry, someone will handle the aftermath. I didn't expect Akunus to approach him. That guy certainly doesn't know Kleide is related to me." King Akers looked at Yan Ruoyi.

"Akunus is cunning and insidious. Kleide is likely just a bait, and he surely has other means to deal with or restrain young Mr. Chen. He's determined to obtain the dragon power within you, and even the Purgatory Clan is cooperating with him on this.

"Currently, because of Kaotoros’ death, the Purgatory Clan has launched a strong counterattack. The frontline is tight, and those above king-level can't leave. Although Ling Yi and the others claim to be well-prepared, you still need to be careful not to let him succeed."

Yan Ruoyi replied politely, "Thank you for the warning. We will be careful."

After bidding farewell to everyone, King Akers disappeared, clearly very busy.
