Traveling through the dark and dreary starry skies was dull and monotonous.

 

At least, for Yu Zi Yu, it was.

 

Even though his speed had already reached the point of chasing Time itself, when faced with the vast and boundless cosmos, the journey still demanded time measured in years.

 

And yet, just as Yu Zi Yu was rushing toward the Eastern Sector,

 

On Earth, that cerulean world floating in the sea of stars, an ancient and terrifying aura had begun to spread.

 

“Is this really enough… to summon the Eternal Dragon?”

 

Staring blankly at the nine Dragon Balls neatly arranged before her, a young girl’s eyes sparkled like the stars, radiant and bright.

 

“Yes,” came the reply, as Snake Queen stepped forward from the shadows.

 

Then, her gaze shifted, quietly studying the girl before her.

 

She had short hair and black eyes. It was a short and brief description, but they perfectly captured the essence of the girl’s Soul.

 

Short hair. Black eyes.

 

Her name was Shea.

 

Hailing from Earth, she came from one of the newly risen Magician Family of the West. Technically, she was a product of experimentation. She had been artificially implanted with multiple personalities.

 

She was like a computer, capable of executing different programs to perform various tasks.

 

As for why she had begun hunting Dragon Balls, it could all be traced back to the day Azure Dragon disintegrated.

 

A mysterious longing stirred deep within her and awakened her dominant personality.

 

Her core self, Shea’s true essence, was weary of the mundane world, emotionally sealed off, and faced only eternal emptiness and nothingness.

 

If not for the Azure Dragon’s disintegration that day, which called out to her, she might have remained in slumber forever.

 

However, because of her dominant personality awakening, she had climbed from Tier-2 to the peak of Tier-3 in just one short year, evolving into a Half-Step Natural Disaster.

 

Her terrifying strength left even some full-fledged Tier-4 Natural Disasters trembling.

 

And all of this was because her dominant personality possessed a pair of terrifying eyes.

 

They were known as the Mystic Eyes, eyes that could gaze directly at the origin of things.

 

*Boooom…* Suddenly, her pupils shimmered, and a multicolored spiral flickered deep within them.

 

In that instant, the entire world changed within Shea’s vision. Deep violet lines, like cracks, spread across everything she saw.

 

She slowly raised her gaze, her fingertip tracing along one of the lines.

 

*Crack…* With a crisp sound, space itself began to fracture along that very line.

 

In front of this girl, space was as fragile as paper.

 

These were the Eyes of Death, a type of Mystic Eye.

 

They stood on equal footing with the Petrification Eyes of the Medusa Clan. Both were classified as High-Level Mystic Eyes.

 

However, what stunned Snake Queen most was that a Human from Earth had awakened such a terrifying pair of eyes.

 

And more than that, these Eyes of Death were clearly different from those passed down in her inherited memories.

 

At the very least, the legendary Eyes of Death could perceive death, but these eyes didn’t just see death, they could cut death itself. Even abstract concepts like Space could be cleaved apart.

 

It was something that Snake Queen could even imagine.

 

“If I’m not mistaken, this girl’s Eyes of Death have already mutated, evolved beyond the known Eyes of Death, evolved into something stronger than the High-Level Mystic Eyes…”

 

Her pupils contracted slightly as her heart trembled in awe.

 

To be simply put, Mystic Eyes were a form of Heavenly Eyes, a direct reflection of the Soul.

 

Through artificial development, some managed to pass down the Heavenly Eye Bloodline, and after generation and generation, it eventually gave rise to the Mystic Eyes.

 

And among Mystic Eyes, High-Level ones were already incredibly rare and terrifying.

 

However, now, a mere Human possessed eyes that surpassed even those.

 

So, it was no wonder that Snake Queen had guided her so meticulously, step by step, to hunt down the Dragon Balls.

 

[She’s a genius worth nurturing… and not just any genius,] as this thought flashed in her mind, Snake Queen grew even more convinced of her judgment.

 

However, just then, Shea’s voice rang out beside her ear, “The Eternal Dragon… can it really grant any wish?”

 

“Of course,” Snake Queen replied with a faint smile, her curiosity piqued. “Do you have a wish you want fulfilled?”

 

Shea was not a typical girl.

 

To Snake Queen, she seemed closed-off, withdrawn, a Soul tired of the world.

 

Snake Queen had always been curious, what wish could Shea possibly want to make?

 

“…” Shea fell silent, her eyes flickering with an uncontrollable glint.

 

Then, after glancing at the nine neatly arranged Dragon Balls in the distance, she finally spoke, her voice soft and ethereal, “I want to find… a reason to keep living.”

 

“A reason… to live…” Snake Queen was visibly shaken. A hint of complexity welled up in her gaze.

 

[This girl… truly defies all logic. But then again, it’s not my place to interfere too much. The rest… would be left to this girl to decide.]

 

With these thoughts, Snake Queen stated candidly, “Chant with me…O Eternal Dragon, awaken from your slumber… I…”

 

Her quiet voice echoed through the air, yet it sounded like the language of Gods. Even the void trembled with resonance.

 

At the same time, the nine Dragon Balls upon the altar blazed with radiant light.

 

“O Eternal Dragon… awaken from your slumber… I, Shea, summon you here and now…”

 

Her voice was barely audible, yet her eyes gleamed with intensity.

 

And then…

 

*Boooom…* A sudden, thunderous boom shattered the silence, shaking the void even more violently.

 

To the naked eye, golden ripples spread outward in wave after wave, tearing through space.

 

And then came the pressure. It was indescribable and overwhelming, slowly rising, adding more to the dread.

 

The earth trembled, the sky quaked, even the planet itself began to shudder.

 

…

 

At that very moment, high above in the Celestial Realm…

 

“So it’s finally begun… the Summon the Eternal Dragon event…” a murmur escaped the lips of a woman seated upon a grand throne. The Empress, who cast her gaze toward the Earth.

 

The Summon the Eternal Dragon had garnered immense attention from the upper echelons of the Demon Court. After all, this was a secret legacy unique to the Court.

 

And according to their Master, this Eternal Dragon could grant any wish.

 

So, not only the Demon Court, but even many Tier-4s and Tier-5s in the Celestial Realm were secretly watching.

 

However, Earth was a Forbidden Zone to the strong. They could not interfere directly.

 

Still, Clans of some Tier-5s had sent their most talented prodigies.

 

Unfortunately, all of them failed, defeated by a nameless, unknown girl.

 

…

 

And now, as that terrifying pressure surged from Earth, one by one, the powerful beings of the Celestial Realm awoke from their cultivation.

 

They promptly looked toward the source of the pressure, piercing the cosmos, locking onto the cerulean planet glowing amidst the stars.

 

Clouds roiled across the Starry Sky.

 

Lightning wreaked havoc upon the surface of the world…

 

*Rooooaaaar…* Accompanied by a deafening roar, a colossal Azure Dragon, of size beyond imagination, rose roaring into the Heavens.

Author’s Note:

This first Eternal Dragon Summoning is destined to forge a prodigy powerful enough to shake even the Demon Court itself.

Only with such magnificence can the myth of the Eternal Dragon’s game spread far and wide, drawing countless others to chase after it.

And as I thought through the candidates…

Shea alone seemed worthy of such a stage.

Her appearance here won’t feel abrupt. After all, Mystic Eyes were foreshadowed in earlier chapters.

The Heavenly Eyes and Mystic Eyes… Dao Bodies and Divine Physiques…

The trees planted by the forebears now bear fruit for their Successors… these are the inherited Bloodlines of the world.
