.
Upon hearing the term the system used to refer to the creature, Ethan froze for a mont.
It wasn't the first ti he had heard about Primordial Chaos, also known as the Primordial Era.
It was a period before the various planes of existence ca into being, and according to what Bai Yu had told him, it was also the ti when most of the ancestors of various races were born.
'Is it possible that...'
Ethan considered a shocking possibility but then shook his head.
'No, that's too absurd to be true,' he thought, questioning more and more about the creature's origins.
Previously, Bai Yu had ntioned that she felt an instinctive suppression in her bloodline coming from this creature.
She had said that this only happened when encountering soone with a stronger bloodline than her own, and the effect was stronger if the being was of the sa species.
This creature that erged from the cocoon was a primordial chaos beast, not to ntion a reptilian one.
Now, Ethan didn't want to call Bai Yu a reptile, since he wasn't sure if she'd like being classified as such.
He had read in many novels that dragons hated being associated with lower reptilian creatures.
He didn't know if the situation was the sa in this world.
That said, perhaps the creature wasn't the ancestor of the dragon race but just a closer descendant in terms of bloodline?
Ethan simply couldn't believe he had ended up with the ancestor of dragons.
As far as he knew, the ancestors of the various races of the Heavenly Plane had disappeared during the Primordial Era, and since then, no one had seen them.
The more Ethan thought about it, the more he realized that there were too many mysteries surrounding this being.
While Ethan was lost in his thoughts for a mont, forgetting even to respond to the system,
Bai Yu, who was next to him, felt the creature's gaze shift to her for a mont, and she sensed an invisible pressure reappear.
The suppression was more of a invisible sensation that, at the mont, had no real effect on her or her soul.
But the more she looked at this being, the more she felt a certain sense of familiarity with it.
She could say that they were part of the sa race, and given the current situation, this being undoubtedly had a purer bloodline than hers, probably even purer than the current dragon lord.
If this being were to appear in the Celestial Plane, only the heavens could know what kind of havoc it would cause.
The small snake-like creature, black with horns, had been looking around the entire ti and finally fixed its gaze on Ethan.
It felt an invisible bond between the two, instinctively wanting to approach him.
Ethan, who had been lost in his speculations the entire ti, couldn't help but finally say to Bai Yu,
"The Seven Sages Amphora seems to classify this creature as a Primordial Chaos beast," he said, addressing her.
"What?!"
Bai Yu, upon hearing this sudden information, almost had a heart attack.
A Primordial Chaos beast.
She, who had spoken about the Primordial Era and Primordial Chaos to Ethan, knew better than anyone about it.
Thus, this information led her to have the sa exact speculations as Ethan.
For a mont, she too got lost in her thoughts, and while she did, Ethan returned his focus to the floating system screen in front of him.
[Y/N]
Ethan had been waiting for three years for the creature inside the cocoon of light to be born so that he could then assimilate its soul into his core and break through to the next stage.
He had thought that once the mont ca, the process would be difficult, as it required the creature's consent as well, but seeing this system prompt, Ethan no longer thought that.
He had co to trust the system's ability to do things perfectly, in the sense that if it said it would do sothing, it would do it without harming him.
Even the pain he felt the first few tis he tried to learn and improve his pill recipes had never left any damage to his mind.
Ethan had wondered how long it would take to convince and assimilate the soul of the spiritual beast into his core, but now it seed he didn't have to think much about that problem anymore.
In the end, he ntally said, "Yes."
Imdiately after he did, a beam of light shot from his mind and struck the creature's.
The creature tried to resist the beam for a mont, but upon realizing it wasn't harming it, it cald down and watched what was happening.
The beam of light disappeared after passing from Ethan to the creature, and shortly after, it returned, this ti striking Ethan's abdon.
Ethan wasn't sure what had just happened, but he could feel a strange tingling coming from his dantian.
He imdiately closed his eyes and tried to perceive inside his core, and the sight of what was within destabilized him for a mont.
The first ti he managed to perceive inside his dantian was when he broke through to the second stage of cultivation.
Back then, he could feel the Qi inside condensing and forming droplets of water, which were actually pure, refined Qi.
The second ti was when he reached the third stage, when the process of crystallizing the Qi inside his core began, expanding and strengthening it in preparation for hosting the soul of a spiritual beast within.
Bai Yu had told him that once he reached the peak of the third stage, the perception of his inner core would beco clearer, and he would, in a sense, be able to observe the space within.
She had also said that the space ford within wouldn't be small and would essentially be like a small dinsion inside himself.
It was in this space where the rest of everyone's cultivation would progress.
According to what he had learned from Bai Yu, beings who reached the peak of the Spirit Realm could even manifest their inner space in reality.
Knowing this, Ethan expected to see a sowhat extended space inside him, perhaps a bit dark, where the spiritual beast's soul would wander.
But what he saw before him was sothing he had never expected.
Sothing he had hoped never to see again.
