Chapter 470: Chapter 465: A golden-scaled creature is more than a pond inhabitant, upon encountering wind and cloud, it transforms into a dragon!

Seeing Delta being sucked into the vortex on the crimson tombstone, Bai Qi immediately followed.

But, just like before, neither Bai Qi nor the other creatures could enter the vortex.

“Could it be that the requirement for this vortex’s attribute has changed?”

Bai Qi scratched his head, looking at the settled vortex in front of him, somewhat puzzled.

Not the Dragon Department, could it be Space Department?

Just as Bai Qi was guessing, Delta suddenly rushed out from the vortex. But it didn’t undergo any changes like the Nether Sea Dragon.

It seemed like Delta held something in its mouth.

Bluurp Bluurp.

(Boss, I found this inside.)

Delta placed the item it held in its mouth before Bai Qi, but its eyes betrayed a barely concealed longing.

“You found it inside?”

Bai Qi picked up what appeared to be a glass bead, and asked. “Describe what it was like inside. Was it the same as with the Nether Sea Snake?”

Bluurp Bluurp.

(It was different. There was nothing there, just the ceaseless shifting between darkness and light. I found this by accident.)

After hearing this, Bai Qi nodded. He then focused his Spirit Power on the sphere he held in his hand.

[Material Name]: Unknown Eye

[Material Level]: ???

[Material Introduction]: Awakened as day, Closed as night, the essence of an unknown creature’s eyeball.

[Material Effect]: ???

…

“Unknown Eye? Why are there so many question marks?”

Bai Qi scratched his head, apart from an inexplicable name and an odd intro, everything else was a question mark.

This type of situation, after obtaining the Ability of Material Atlas from the Evolution Egg, was the first time he encountered it.

“Level unknown means this material’s level is above Mythical?”

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up, it was well hidden by the Dragon Emperor and had been preserved for so many years, it shouldn’t just be at the Mythical level.

“Delta, do you want to devour it?”

Bai Qi handed the Unknown Eye to Delta, and asked.

Bluurp Bluurp.

(Yes.)

“Then eat it.”

Bai Qi showed a grin, throwing the Unknown Eye directly into Delta’s mouth. Just when he was about to use the Evolution Egg, Delta’s body underwent its own transformation.

Delta’s eyes shot closed and its body contorted involuntarily into the shape of a Dragon Horned Whale. Before Bai Qi could react, it transformed into the Titan Python, and the changes continued.

This way, Delta constantly shifted between different forms, even displaying those that had not been stored and simply passed through during evolution.

Gradually, certain parts of the transformation were retained, and Delta’s body started to elongate, bit by bit, resembling a certain entity in Bai Qi’s memory.

Finally, the transformation of Delta gradually ceased. The dazzling light of evolution engulfed its whole body, blinding Bai Qi’s eyes; leaving him seeing a slim shape swimming in the air.

Was this… an evolution?!

Although there was no theoretical basis, Bai Qi’s intuition told him that this time, Delta had truly evolved!

Very quickly, the Evolution Light dissipated, revealing Delta’s new form to Bai Qi.

Head like a camel, eyes reminiscent of ghosts, ears like a cow, the horns of a deer, the neck of a snake, scales of a carp, claws of an eagle, and the palms of a tiger.

It was an absolute, authentic form of an Eastern Dragon!

“An Ancestral Beast evolving into an Eastern Dragon…!” Bai Qi said, “If Old Lady Fan knew, she would surely be surprised.”

With a delighted smile on his face, Bai Qi was preparing to recall Delta to inspect its condition but found that Delta’s originally silver scales had somehow turned crimson.

“Crimson? Could it be the influence of that Unknown Eye?”

Bai Qi looked back at the crimson tombstone, speculating, as Delta underwent yet another transformation.

On the original crimson scales, another color suddenly appeared. Although still a shade of red, it was contrasting with the original crimson.

“What’s going on now?”

Bai Qi frowned slightly, intending to reach out to Delta through their pact. However, he was repelled by two strong waves of consciousness.

Subsequently, a beam of light shone once more from Delta’s body. Within that light, two massive figures suddenly appeared.

One body was entirely crimson, in the shape of a typical Eastern Dragon, only the head had a human face – strikingly similar to the figure on the crimson tombstone.

The other creature was entirely bright red, with wings on its back – having the appearance of a classic five-colored Red Dragon.

“Red Dragon? Could it be Aleta? And the other one, why do I get the feeling it looks like the Candle Dragon?”

Bai Qi reacted quickly, looking at Delta’s head where the two huge beasts’ images were intertwined, feeling a sense of regret in his heart.

He didn’t expect Aleta’s Life Blessing to create trouble during Delta’s evolution. This was truly a misfortune.

Fortune and disaster often go hand-in-hand.

Thinking thus, Bai Qi moved beside Alpha, prepared to use the Evolution Egg should anything go wrong with Delta’s condition.

Wasn’t it just a clash of forces? The Evolution Egg could merge the properties of Holy light and Evil Power, let alone Eastern Dragon and Western Dragon. It could just as well merge them together too.

The two giant dragons fought intensely, with no clear winner. Delta’s scales continued to shift between two colors and occasionally showed a silvery-gray hue.

Hiss~

Seemingly influenced by the battling forces, Delta finally couldn’t bear it and let out a painful dragon’s cry. It bit at the two huge creatures in the light shadow.

In a flash, the light shadow disappeared and the color of Delta’s scales stopped changing.

Yet it wasn’t changing back into any shade of red, but was gradually turning black.

“Could it be returning to its original color, like that of an Ancestral Beast?”

Bai Qi couldn’t help but laugh upon noticing this. He hadn’t expected Delta’s genes to be so dominant, unable to be overshadowed even by the genes of the Candle Dragon and the Red Dragon. This indeed was a bit beyond his expectations.

Soon, Delta’s scales were totally dyed black, and the odd phenomenon surrounding its body dissipated. It swam towards Bai Qi.

Glub blub glub!

(Master, Delta has evolved!)

“Hmm, congratulations.”

Feeling Delta’s excitement, Bai Qi wore a full-faced smile. Out of habit, he reached out to pat Delta’s head, only to realize that Delta had grown too large.

However, Delta seemed to notice Bai Qi’s awkwardness. It suddenly shrank its tens-of-meters-long body to its former size.

“You can change your size, too?”

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, took a glance at Delta’s eyes that seemed to flicker like candlelight, and then put his hand on Delta.

[Name]: ??? (Delta)

[Nature]: Time, Space

[Bloodline Level]: High-grade King

[Growth Level]: Six Stage One

[Skills]: Void Disciple (Transcendent Level – Skilled), Time Traveler (??? – Beginner)

[Energy Value]: 1006E1100W

[Condition]: Evolvable

…

“High-grade King! And it jumped straight to the sixth stage?”

Bai Qi exclaims, clearly not expecting Delta’s improvement after evolution to be so significant.

A carp leaping through the dragon’s gate.

The sentence Bai Qi had read in his previous life popped into his mind. The little creature that was possibly stuck at Lord Level for its entire life had astonishingly surpassed all pets and took the first step to promote to a High-grade King.

The extent of this evolution was indeed outrageous.

However, what Bai Qi cared the most about was Delta’s much clearer attribute panel.

“Was the Ancient Species panel stored before gone because the Survival of the Fittest function disappeared?”

After briefly pondering, Bai Qi understood the reason. He then began to check Delta’s new skills.

[Skill Name]: Time Traveler

[Skill Level]: ???

[Skill Introduction]: A wanderer outside of the River of Time, time is meaningless to it; so-called history is nothing more than a play.

…

“The Temporal Department Skill… is it Survival of the Fittest’s superior skill?”

Candle Dragon was initially the god who managed time, and the awakening plan of Survival of the Fittest also stated the need for Temporal Department Resources.

Initially, Bai Qi had intended to wait for the Association to find one for him, but he stumbled upon one this time.

It also made sense for Survival of the Fittest to evolve into Time Traveler.

After all, the evolution of creatures could also be considered part of time.

“Delta, can you control time now?”

Glub blub glub!

(Yes, but it seems like I can only use it on myself for now.)

Delta nodded, flew to Alpha, and intentionally brushed against the Sword of the Wind Chaser, leaving a faint wound on its scales.

Next, a candle light flickered through Delta’s eyes, and a mysterious force enveloped the wound. The wound healed instantly, looking almost identical to how it was before it was injured.

“Is this time reversion?”

Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily upon seeing this. Although it couldn’t be used elsewhere, with time reversion, Delta could always maintain its peak state.

If one day Delta’s abilities further develop and could be applied to others, it would simply be a godlike skill to turn the tables!

“How about others? Like time halt, time acceleration, foresight, etc.?”

Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Delta closed its eyes and tried for a while, but eventually shook its head helplessly.

Glub blub blub…

(Sorry, master, Delta can’t do it…)

“Is it still not proficient enough?”

Bai Qi nodded slightly on hearing this, patting Delta’s head to comfort it, and asked, “So, since Survival of the Fittest evolved into Time Traveler, does that mean you can’t turn into other forms anymore?”

Glub blub blub!

(Yes, but Delta feels like they are somewhere within Delta’s body.)

Hearing this, Bai Qi came to a sudden realization, thinking back to the peculiarities of Delta before it evolved.

Did it discard the dross and select the essentials, completely fusing them into its body?

“Not bad at all, you’ve finally come through.”

Bai Qi grinned, looking at Delta, which had fully transformed into a dragon, and said, “Let’s call you the Cosmic Dragon, a giant dragon that controls both time and space.”

Glub blub blub!

(Cosmic Dragon! From now on, Delta will be known as the Cosmic Dragon!)

Delta was extremely happy with its new name, having successfully broken through its limits. It revealed its true form and darted towards the sky. Its imposing manner had the Nether Sea Snake and the rest of the Sea Beasts involuntarily bow their heads.

This was not about power, but about the absolute suppression coming from its bloodline!
