C23 Chaos Bead
"This is the Sea Calming Pearl. According to legend, during the great cataclysm at the dawn of time, Pan Gu wielded his axe and split the primordial Chaos Bow. Within it, a Chaos Bead was damaged and shattered, and from its fragments emerged this very pearl—the Sea Calming Pearl!"
"This Sea Calming Pearl possesses the might to churn the four seas. Today, it is my gift to the Son of God, and I hope that you will graciously accept it."
The East Sea Dragon King said with a hearty laugh.
"Sea Calming Pearl."
A slight smile played at the corners of Ye Tianhan's mouth. With a casual flick of his wrist, he effortlessly stowed the Sea Calming Pearl into his bag.
Ye Tianhan's primary purpose for this visit was indeed to acquire the Sea Calming Pearl.
Of course, Ye Tianhan was already in possession of numerous spiritual treasures and abilities of great talent. His intent in collecting the Sea Calming Pearl was to eventually merge it with other pearls to form a Chaos Bead.
Yes, the very same Chaos Bead that, in future generations, would split into two—one becoming a devil pill and the other a spiritual pearl.
However, simply gathering the devil pill and spiritual pearl would not suffice to recreate the Chaos Bead.
Ye Tianhan's desire for the Sea Calming Pearl stemmed not from its chaotic might, but from its power to shield against the probing of fate. After all, in the later stages, he would inevitably draw the scrutiny of the Heavenly Dao Sage, making a divine artifact capable of concealing one's destiny absolutely essential.
This acquisition was a crucial step in Ye Tianhan's grand strategy.
"Excellent."
Ye Tianhan nodded in approval, his expression revealing a trace of contentment.
Seeing this, the East Sea Dragon King's anxiety, which had been lodged in his throat, slowly dissipated, and he let out a silent sigh of relief.
He had been genuinely concerned that a misstep might provoke the Son of God, potentially inciting retribution from the Demon Clan.
"Son of God, in addition to the Sea Calming Pearl, there are many other treasures within my Dragon Palace." The East Sea Dragon King said this, then swiftly signaled to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals with a knowing glance.
Promptly, these loyal retainers opened the boxes they had brought forth, showcasing the array of divine weapons within.
While these divine weapons couldn't compare to the supreme nature of the Sea Calming Pearl, each was nonetheless impressive in its own right.
Unfortunately, Ye Tianhan had already acquired the Human Emperor set, and while the gifts from the Dragon Kings were decent, they weren't particularly beneficial to him. Nevertheless, he could still sell these items online for a handsome sum.
After presenting the treasures, the East Sea Dragon King naturally offered to treat Ye Tianhan to an array of rare seafood and exotic delicacies, an invitation Ye Tianhan readily accepted.
Following the feast, Ye Tianhan checked the time and realized he had only a few minutes left before the day's adventures in the Prehistoric World would come to an end. A sweet, melodious alert then chimed in:
"System: You have four more minutes to continue your session in the Prehistoric World. After four minutes, you will be automatically logged out!"
Hearing the gentle prompt, Ye Tianhan inhaled deeply. This day's journey had been incredibly fruitful—blessed with serendipity thrice over and becoming the direct disciple of several influential figures, not to mention the trove of treasures he'd secured from the East Sea Dragon Palace.
Without further ado, Ye Tianhan decided to log out.
"Congratulations! You have successfully logged out!"
Another pleasant notification rang out. As Ye Tianhan reopened his eyes, he was back in the comfort of a vast, opulent villa. He gave the villa a cursory glance, then summoned his Golden Roc. Mounting the majestic bird, they soared towards a specific location.
As someone reborn with the ability to foresee future events, Ye Tianhan knew that the site of the impending demon beast incursion was close by. His purpose for confronting these creatures was straightforward: they could yield the unique materials and items he desired.
However, as the Golden Roc reached mid-flight, a sudden, terrifying earthquake shook Honeyhollow to its core. Players who had just returned were caught off guard by the tremors, some nearly tumbling to their doom.
Simultaneously, from the fissures in the earth, numerous colossal demonic beasts emerged at breakneck speed, devouring the disoriented players.
"Hmm?" Ye Tianhan's expression shifted subtly.
Theoretically, such occurrences hadn't happened in his previous sessions in the Prehistoric Online Game, and these demonic beasts weren't due to appear for another month. It seemed that with his rebirth and growing power, many events were accelerating. Yet, the one constant remained—the world within the Prehistoric Online Game.
With a ferocious roar that cut through the air, Ye Tianhan's contemplation was abruptly interrupted. A pack of immense winged dragons, each with a wingspan of several dozen meters, swooped down on the Golden Roc with predatory speed.
These dragons were shrouded in a thick miasma of demonic energy, their eyes glinting with an insatiable lust for blood—they clearly saw Ye Tianhan as their next meal.
"Hmph!" Ye Tianhan let out a disdainful snort.
By the looks of them, these winged dragons were no more than Level 30, hardly a match for him.
As the dragons opened their razor-sharp jaws, ready to engulf the diminutive Ye Tianhan, he simply pointed his finger. In an instant, before they could even react, the dragons were petrified, frozen solid into blocks of ice.
With a resounding crash, they plummeted to the earth and shattered on impact, dead beyond any doubt.
The winged dragons' demise left behind a shower of crystal cores, twinkling with brilliant golden light as they drifted down from the sky.
Having dispatched the winged dragons with ease, Ye Tianhan's presence seemed to resonate with the demonic beasts below. Their eyes, filled with a ravenous gleam, turned towards him.
The great demonic beasts stirred into a frenzy and lunged at Ye Tianhan.
Meanwhile, the survivors of Honeyhollow City finally took notice of Ye Tianhan, their faces awash with gratitude.
"It's Serene Highness! With him here, we're safe from the demonic beasts!"
"I was terrified! To think the moment I achieved my ideal state, the demonic beasts would attack! And they're no match for me!"
"I've assessed these beasts; they're not only numerous but formidable. It seems only Serene Highness has the strength to defeat them!"
"Now I truly realize, the Prehistoric Online Game is our weapon to combat these ideal demonic beasts. If we don't level up quickly enough in the game, real danger awaits us. Thank goodness for Serene Highness..."
