At this moment, as if thinking of something, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

 

“Right, Nine Tails.” At the sudden call, far off in the distance, Nine Tails’ expression turned solemn. Stepping on the foxfire, she rushed over at full speed.

 

“Master,” Nine Tails greeted softly, as she arrived before Yu Zi Yu.

 

“Notify the higher-ups of the Demon Court. Tell them not to fight over the Dragon Balls.”

 

“Yes, Master.” Nine Tails replied straight away, as realization dawned upon her. [It seems, the Dragon Balls hold some unknown secret.]

 

Meanwhile, the corner of Yu Zi Yu’s lips curled into a smile as he asked teasingly, “Aren’t you curious why?”

 

“Master’s orders are meant to be followed, not questioned.” Nine Tails’ short and succinct explanation displayed her unwavering loyalty.

 

“You, huh…” Heaving a soft sigh, Yu Zi Yu frankly explained, “The Dragon Balls carry tremendous Karma. If one chases after them, they might find it impossible to free themselves from it… To put it simply, the Dragon Balls exist to gather the Destiny of countless powerful beings and bestow it upon one individual. To fight over the beads is to fight over Destiny itself. If you win, you gather a huge luck onto yourself, allowing one to seek Dao. But if you lose, you lose everything. Centuries of cultivation could be wiped out in an instant…”

 

Hearing this quietly, Nine Tails’ heart trembled.

 

She had not expected such a secret to be behind the Dragon Balls.

 

However, as if struck by some thought, Nine Tails asked, “Master, is it really as that Azure Dragon claimed? That gathering all the beads will allow you to make any wish?”

 

“Any wish?” Chuckling softly, Yu Zi Yu nodded and elaborated, “If the ones fighting for the beads are all Tier-6s, then gathering nine Dragon Balls could indeed allow one to directly attempt a breakthrough to Tier-7. But if it’s Tier-5, then at most it could allow the ‘wisher’ to leap to Tier-6…”

 

Saying this, Yu Zi Yu’s tone shifted slightly, and he spoke more directly, “As for non-cultivation-related wishes, they’re much simpler to accomplish, no? Things like reversing aging, eternal youth, even resurrection. Reviving existences below Tier-6 is not difficult… You could even create something from nothing…”

 

Upon hearing this, Nine Tails’ expression shifted visibly.

 

[If that’s true, then the Dragon Balls are not merely rare treasures, they are legendary Artifacts, bordering on omnipotence.]

 

*Hooooo…* Taking a deep breath, Nine Tails forcibly calmed her racing thoughts.

 

Right at that moment, Yu Zi Yu’s voice once again echoed in her ear, “I don’t want to see you, White Tiger, or any other core members of the Demon Court tearing each other apart over this. However, when it comes to your Successors and Juniors, I won’t interfere. If necessary, you can dispatch your younger generations to compete for them.”

 

“Rather than letting countless Juniors waste away in obscurity, why not have them fight for the Dragon Balls, and gather the fortune of many into one? Who knows? You might even cultivate a few peerless prodigies this way…”

 

“Master, I understand.” With newfound clarity, Nine Tails nodded in agreement.

 

Truth be told, if she herself had to fight White Tiger and the others for said Destiny, she absolutely would not be willing.

 

But if it was left to the Juniors, the Fox Clan had indeed produced a few rising stars recently. In this case, she was more than happy to let them compete. After all, most Foxes only ever reached Tier-2 in their lifetimes, with Tier-3 already considered their limit.

 

However, if one of them could gather Dragon Balls, that Fox might very well leap to become an Overlord.

 

That was an incredibly profitable deal.

 

In other words, the ‘Summon the Eternal Dragon’ event may very well become another fearsome legacy of the Demon Court.

 

A legacy that would allow the Demon Court to cultivate countless peerless prodigies.

 

*Hahaha…* Chuckling softly, Yu Zi Yu paid no mind to Nine Tails’ inner thoughts.

 

Right now, he had something even more important to do.

 

Thinking this, Yu Zi Yu turned his gaze to the endless sky.

 

“Snake Queen…” At the sudden call, the Heavens tremble slightly.

 

Moments later, ripples spread across the sky, before a breathtaking figure appeared before Yu Zi Yu.

 

It was a woman, an extraordinarily beautiful one.

 

She had a pair of long, narrow, pale-red eyes. Every glance from her carried an innate charm capable of stealing any man’s Soul.

 

Her figure was voluptuous yet slender, like a perfectly ripened peach, exuding a faint, natural allure. Her cascading black hair tumbled down to her slender waist.

 

However, if one looked behind her, one could clearly see a green-scaled serpent tail swaying gently.

 

This was a woman who embodied both wildness and beauty in equal measure.

 

And she was none other than Snake Queen, one of the Guardians of the Misty Mountains, alongside the Ice Elemental Flood Dragon, Little White.

 

However, unlike the others, she had awakened the Medusa Bloodline, inheriting the curse of Medusa with it.

 

And to resist the ancient curse hidden deep within her blood, she had followed Azure Dragon closely for many years.

 

Now, after 80 long years, the curse in her bloodline had been completely purified by Azure Dragon, leaving behind only the powerful and mysterious Medusa Bloodline.

 

At this moment, she could rightfully be called Queen Medusa.

 

Every subtle smile and every delicate glance she made could inexplicably stir a burning heat in the hearts of those around her.

 

“Master…” the Snake Queen called out softly, her voice so enchanting that Yu Zi Yu found himself momentarily dazed.

 

[Good grief… she stands alongside the Celestial Fox Clan, the Mermaid Clan, the Elven Clan, and others. Once purified, she is truly an unparalleled beauty.] While secretly praising her in his heart, Yu Zi Yu’s expression quickly turned serious as he got straight to the point, “Snake Queen, I have a task for you.”

 

“I’ll do as Master commands,” she replied gently, her long, narrow eyes curving with a hint of a smile.

 

At long last, the day she had been waiting for had finally arrived. After eighty years of silent waiting, all to repay the grace her Master had shown her.

 

“Good.” Nodding slightly, Yu Zi Yu replied candidly, “Azure Dragon has protected you for 80 years… Now, in order to prove his Dao, he willingly disintegrated himself. I would like you to serve as his Divine Emissary, much like a Saintess, to protect and bear witness to his Dao. Will you accept?”

 

“Protect his Dao!?” Snake Queen was momentarily taken aback. However, showing no hesitation, she repeatedly nodded her agreement. “Azure Dragon has shown me immense kindness, even aiding me in becoming an Overlord. It would be my honor to guard his Dao.”

 

“That’s great.” A smile appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s lips, clearly satisfied with her answer.

 

Snake Queen had already awakened the Medusa Bloodline and, under Azure Dragon’s guidance, had stepped into Tier-6.

 

In terms of strength, she was no weaker than any top powerhouse.

 

Yu Zi Yu was confident that with her overseeing the Summon the Eternal Dragon Project, there would be no major issues.

 

Of course, Snake Queen could not interfere with the actual ‘Summon the Eternal Dragon’ event.

 

Her role was more of a witness, a guardian, and a watchful observer.
