.
Ti passed, and before long, three whole days had gone by in the Minor Dinsion.
After several hours of relentless agony, Ethan's body stopped writhing, and he, no longer feeling the ceaseless pain, collapsed into a sudden fatigue and lost consciousness.
He remained unconscious for three straight days, lying completely still, his body showing no signs of activity.
During this ti, Bai Yu's figure remained in the sa position, continuing to gaze at Ethan.
If soone had seen him in this state for so long, they would have thought he had been dead for quite so ti.
Then, on the evening of the third day, he finally showed so signs of life.
His forehead furrowed slightly as he tried to open his eyes.
Ah
As soon as he managed to open them a bit, he was struck by a sudden headache, which made him close them again imdiately.
After a while, he tried again, this ti more slowly.
At first, his vision was completely overwheld by a white light, and for a mont, he couldn't help but think he had gone blind.
Gradually, the white veil covering his eyes began to fade, and shapes started to take form.
The blue of the sky beca clearer, the glare diminished, and finally, a clear view of the sky opened up before him, dotted only by a few fluffy white clouds.
'Am I dead?'
He wondered for a mont, admiring the blue sky, perceiving the colors and details of the various clouds floating above much more clearly.
It wasn't that he had had any vision problems before.
It was just that now, for so reason, everything seed much clearer.
It was as if an illusory veil that had previously covered so details had finally been removed.
His mind was strangely calr and lighter than usual.
Just as he was pondering whether the process had been successful, the system decided to intervene.
DING!
[Congratulations, Host, for successfully assimilating the blood essence of a dragon.]
[Congratulations, you have successfully completed the special mission.]
[Open the mission interface to claim your reward.]
Seeing this series of ssages, Ethan was reassured that he was still alive and had sohow succeeded, albeit surprisingly.
He didn't imdiately open the system interface and took his ti while remaining lying on the circular wooden platform.
Initially, Ethan had intended to build a small residence for himself.
Sothing like a small house, but he had no idea how to make it.
In the end, he decided on sothing simpler, like this small wooden platform with a conical roof on top.
At first, he hadn't intended to include the roof, but then during one of his visits here, he discovered that it was raining.
He hadn't expected it to rain here as well, but then rembering the description of this place, he understood why.
The system had classified this Minor Dinsion as a small world, and as such, it had an atmosphere and its own natural cycles, including those of water.
Although this raised so questions for Ethan, such as if there was water and an atmosphere, there should also be life, and other similar questions, he decided not to think about it too much.
These kinds of questions were too grand for soone like him, and he had no intention of spending his ti figuring out why certain things existed in this place.
At least, not right now.
Perhaps in the future he would, after all, he had big plans for this Minor Dinsion.
Eventually, a voice coming from a short distance pulled him out of his thoughts.
"How much longer do you plan to stay lying down?" asked the voice.
Hearing this voice, Ethan knew who it was, and with an effort, he lifted his body, trying to get up.
Having stayed in the sa position for three consecutive days, his body muscles were stiff, and he struggled to find his balance.
Finally, leaning against one of the wooden beams supporting the conical roof above, he looked forward, where a few ters away stood a woman with an ethereal appearance.
"Good morning,
well, perhaps it's better to say good evening," he said, scratching his head.
Bai Yu, however, said nothing, continuing to look him up and down, examining his body as if she were trying to see sothing.
Then, with a slight, sowhat mischievous smile, she said:
"Well, I didn't know you were hiding a dragon that size down there."
'Eh?'
For a mont, Ethan didn't understand what she ant by those words.
He lowered his head to see what she was talking about, and then, as if struck by a gust of cold air, he froze for a mont, realizing the aning behind her words.
'Holy sh*t,' he thought, shocked at the sight of the fierce beast below.
'Wait, no, what am I thinking?
More importantly, where the hell are my clothes?'
He thought anxiously, wondering why he was naked.
Giving a quick ntal command, he opened his [Storage], pulled out a new pair of clothes, and put them on imdiately.
Then, calming down, he looked at Bai Yu, thinking.
'Shaless woman'
Although he couldn't read her mind, from her expression, she could tell what he was thinking.
"Why are you so flustered?
It's not the first ti I've seen you without clothes," she said, maintaining her usual calm deanor.
Ethan didn't understand for a mont, but then it dawned on him.
'Right, she can see from the Sea of Consciousness.'
He wondered if he would ever have any private life with her always in his head.
Shaking his head to dismiss this worry, he asked:
"How long was I unconscious?"
Although he knew he was still in the Minor Dinsion, and thus even if he had been here for weeks it wouldn't be too problematic, he still wanted to know how much ti had passed.
The issue was if it wasn't just weeks or months, but years?
Then he would be in trouble.
The reason he had this doubt was related to his body.
Previously, when he looked at himself, he noticed that his skin strangely seed much whiter, and his body muscles appeared more defined.
And he also had the feeling that he had grown taller since his clothes seed a bit tight, as if they were not his size.
Taking all these factors into account, he could only think of two possibilities.
Either the assimilation of the dragon's bloodline had made significant changes to his body, or he had been in this place for a very long ti.
Of course, this didn't explain so of these things, but it was a cultivation world.
Especially in his case. He possessed an ancient artifact with a system, had a rare physique, and now also had a dragon bloodline.
Who knew what could happen and what not.
Bai Yu, not thinking much about why he asked this question, responded:
"You've been unconscious for about 3 days.
But it's normal for this to happen; after all, your body needs to adapt to the new changes and resu its normal functions."
Hearing this, Ethan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
'Ah, thank god,'
He thought to himself, relieved to have been wrong and narrowly avoiding a problem.
Too bad for him that his problems had just begun.
