sorry, i'm straight

"Huh." Gu Yuan let out a foul breath and opened his eyes.

After more than a month of recuperation, he has completely absorbed all the blood essence and the eggshell essence refined on the day of shelling, and his strength has finally reached the peak state of the transformation stage.

[It is impossible for you to ascend to immortality in this world. 】The system emphasized.

"I know." Gu Yuan nodded lightly.

Ascension means completely leaving this world, and Gu Yuan naturally knows this.

The reason why he spends so much time training is naturally because he doesn't want to make his life too boring. You must know that if there are no accidents, he will live in this world for nearly thousands of years.

His identity of the Phoenix clan meant that he couldn't appear in front of people normally.

Gu Yuan has always disliked living in such an aggrieved way, but if he appeared in front of people after his strength surpassed everything else, no one would dare to say anything more.

What's more, Gu Yuan couldn't bear the heart that the little tiger's family would voluntarily become the tools of others because of the disappearance of the little tiger according to the setting in the plot book.

【You don't want to regain everything that belongs to the Phoenix Clan?Is that against the whole world? 】The system suddenly thought of a possibility, and then said: 【But you can't leave offspring in the small world. 】

If the Phoenix clan is to be revived, the next generation must be born for the Phoenix clan and passed on from generation to generation, so that the Phoenix clan can return to the five great beasts.

Without inheritance, it is impossible to return to the five great beasts. This is equivalent to the unspoken rules of the beast family. Otherwise, no matter how strong Gu Yuan is, he will not be recognized by all the beast families.

And the source world has clear rules for these taskers, they cannot leave offspring in the small world, and if they are discovered, they will be severely punished.

Gu Yuan shook the obvious red mark on his arm.

With the binding of the soul, how could he do betrayal again.

"Actually, I haven't experienced what it's like to have the strength to stand on the top of this world." Gu Yuan smiled and said.

Do you want to say that Gu Yuan has no ambitions?

No, he is more ambitious than anyone else. The previous three worlds were just idle, and he was really too lazy to bother with them.

And this world happens to have natural advantages from identity background to social environment to cultivation environment for Gu Yuan to develop and create.

[It's not impossible. 】Feeling Gu Yuan's emotional fluctuations, the system instantly understood his meaning.

"So, take your time." Gu Yuan smiled and looked at the little tiger lying beside him.

When Gu Yuan just woke up, he found the little guy's movements, and the other party was quietly supporting him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gu Yuan stretched out a hand to the top of the little tiger's head, obviously seeing the slight shaking of the other's body.

"Are you awake?" Gu Yuan asked with a smile in his eyes.

"Ahh!" The little tiger knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he roared slightly.

"Would you like to bite again next time?" Gu Yuan pointed out his firm arm and put it in front of the little tiger's eyes.

"Hmm." The little tiger hugged Gu Yuan's arm with two paws and began to lick it.

At this moment, because of the essence and blood before, he and Gu Yuan had a faint connection between their minds.

The little tiger also understood that Gu Yuan was not human, and had rescued him from the place where he was held before.

"You are in the Golden Core stage right now, you shouldn't be far away from the Nascent Soul transformation." Gu Yuan felt the energy in the little tiger's body and judged.

Divine beasts take much longer to transform than ordinary beasts. Only when they reach the Nascent Soul stage can they barely transform into human form, and only when they reach the state of transformation can they control their body freely.

The moment Gu Yuan broke his shell, he was in the early stage of the God Transformation Realm, so he naturally didn't have the trouble of transforming form.

"Huh?" The little tiger tilted his head and looked at Gu Yuan suspiciously.

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment when he saw the appearance of the little thing. It's not like he hasn't seen cute creatures before.

But in the end, there was not much emotional ups and downs.

But at this moment, he didn't know why he couldn't help but want to hug the other party.

[Although he is almost six hundred years old according to his age, his mind is still young at the moment, and you can communicate with him through your mind. ] The system thought that Gu Yuan didn't get a response from the little tiger, so he froze and explained.

"Yeah." Gu Yuan nodded, regained his senses and hugged the little tiger into his arms.

"Follow me, little thing." He murmured while stroking the little tiger's back.

In fact, Gu Yuan originally planned to send the little tiger back to the White Tiger Clan first. He was busy with training and taking care of things in the early stage, so he definitely didn't have time to develop it.

It happened to establish a certain contact with the White Tiger Clan, and after the little tiger grew up, he went to pick it up.

But now he suddenly feels reluctant.

"Ahhh." The little tiger stretched out its limbs and stretched out comfortably after being stroked by Gu Yuan, then fell asleep on Gu Yuan's lap.

"What's the state outside now?" Gu Yuan asked the system.

[The Golden Crow family has discovered your previous traces and is searching for everything related to Phoenix during this period. 】The system said.

"Yeah." Gu Yuan was thinking about the matter, and at the same time he stroked the little white tiger's fur with golden stripes up and down.

【What are you going to do? 】The system asked.

"I remember that there was a plot in the plot book that the protagonist strayed into a secret realm when he was bound to the phoenix, and found a series of opportunities in it, let's go and have a look first." Gu Yuan said.

[But this way you will affect the growth path of the protagonist. 】The system said.

"Is my influence less?" Gu Yuan said lightly.

Everyone has their own pursuits, and Gu Yuan is no exception.

The power of luck is obtained by his own ability, Gu Yuan will not voluntarily give up robbing the protagonist of the power of luck just because he has no conflict with the protagonist in this world.

【as long as you are happy. 】The system thought of what happened in the first three worlds, and sighed helplessly.

Gu Yuan hugged the little white tiger into his arms, and then transformed into wings and headed towards the so-called paradise in the plot book.

With the system in place, he didn't have to worry about not knowing the way in the small world.

With the strength at the peak of the God Transformation Realm, Gu Yuan traveled twice as fast as before, and it took him only half a day to arrive at the so-called secret place of the Paradise of Paradise.

After a long distance, Gu Yuan gathered his aura and wings, because he felt many powerful auras hovering outside the gate of the secret realm, so he had no choice but to do so in order not to reveal his identity.

"This is my dragon clan's territory, and outsiders are not allowed to step into it." As soon as he approached the gate of the secret realm, Gu Yuan heard a burst of tyrannical aura.

"Brother Long San, the former secret realm is available to everyone, and you are going too far." A voice that sounded a little old replied to the breath just now.

"Yeah, Brother Long, we didn't go in for nothing. My Xuangui clan is willing to give five thousand spirit stones in exchange for three qualifications to explore the secret realm. Look good." Another old voice sounded.

"This discovery is in the secret realm of our beast clan. If we don't find out the situation inside as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be known by the human clan sooner or later." A delicate girl said.

"No, the Great Elder hasn't given an answer, so no one can go in." Long San rejected these voices with a serious face.

These infuriating voices passed back and forth to each other, and the little tiger in Gu Yuan's arms had long been awakened. He was poking his head out vigilantly to look at the environment behind Gu Yuan's arms.

"Hush." ​​Seeing the little tiger's movements, Gu Yuan smiled and gestured.

Now his strength is not enough for him to expose his identity, so Gu Yuan doesn't want to cause too much trouble.

Seeing Gu Yuan's movements, the little tiger took the initiative to hide his eyes behind Gu Yuan's arms, but his two furry ears were sticking out to listen to something moving.

Gu Yuan couldn't hold back and pressed the two ears with his other hand, but it caused the little tiger to tremble in dissatisfaction.

"Heh" Gu Yuan chuckled lightly.

"Be obedient and eat meat." Gu Yuan used Yuanshen to send the message to the little tiger.

As soon as he heard the meat, the little tiger's eyes really lit up, he twisted and got into a deeper place in Gu Yuan's arms, "hiding" himself.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan smiled softly again.

He unhurriedly took out a black robe from the system space and put it on, then walked towards the place where the voices were coming from.

"Brother Long San, I have a Huoyao spar here. I wonder if I can change it to a place to enter the secret realm." Gu Yuan walked to the sound sources and said to the stern man guarding the entrance of the secret realm.

Gu Yuan didn't know what triggered the protagonist to enter the secret realm by mistake, but now he had to go through the guards outside the secret realm if he wanted to enter the secret realm.

"Who are you?" The few people who were talking looked at the black-robed man with vigilance when they saw the person coming.

"It doesn't matter who I am, I think the Dragon Clan is no stranger to fire crystals." Gu Yuan smiled, and handed out a fire crystal from under the black robe to gesture to the strong man.

In the system space, there are many things he collected before. This fire crystal is a rather insignificant treasure among the objects he collected. At the beginning, he collected this thing just for looking good.

When Long San, the strong man guarding, saw the fire crystal, his eyes became hot instantly, and his breathing became heavier when he heard the words "fire crystal", let alone seeing it with his own eyes.

"It's true." Long San looked at the black spar handed out from under the black robe in shock.

The fire crystal stone is just a good-looking ornament from the outside, but to the dragon clan, it is a treasure that can increase the purity of the dragon clan's blood.

Due to the nature of dragons, most of them will lose their pure blood from generation to generation due to some miscellaneous reasons.

And with the fire crystal, they can purify their blood step by step by exchanging blood in the dragon blood pool.

So it is impossible for Long San not to be envious when he sees this fire crystal. After all, this thing is too rare. Even the Dragon Clan has only used three fire crystals to exchange blood for their clansmen for so many years.

"Here, can I ask the elder?" Long San asked Gu Yuan a little afraid to make a decision.
