One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

[While Black Wind was inquiring about your whereabouts, he happened to run into Shen Yifeng and Ma Bang, who were rushing around gathering people.]

[Shen Yifeng knew a little about the Dragon-Scale Horse clan, and upon seeing the legendary ancient divine beast, he curiously took a look.]

[Thus, the man and the horse got to know each other.]

[From Shen Yifeng's mouth, Black Wind confirmed your existence.]

[But at that time, Shen Yifeng didn't know where you were either.]

[So Black Wind decided to join their operation, figuring he'd eventually meet you this way.]

["Senior Shen said you can take us away from here?"]

["Of course!"]

[Black Wind opened his mouth and spat out a Star Ship.]

["Having just a Star Ship won't do. How do we get to the Channel beyond the atmosphere?"]

[You raised your head and looked up at the sky.]

[Going from the ground, breaking through the atmosphere, and entering the space environment.]

[Even for you right now, with your trait tags maxed out, it was impossible.]

[Let alone you—even those Transcendent Realm cultivators who had mastered flight abilities couldn't fly in a vacuum environment even if they forcibly broke through the atmosphere.]

[A cultivator's body might be able to withstand the vacuum for a while, but there was absolutely no way they could survive for long.]

["Shen Yifeng left materials for you to set up a Launch Array."]

[A Launch Array was exactly that seven-colored beam of light at Star Harbors.]

[Shen Yifeng knew you understood formations, so he left the materials for you.]

["There's a Launch Array? Then why didn't he just give it to me back at Firewood Sect?"]

[If no Star Harbor was needed, wouldn't those two years of detours have been avoided?]

[You quickly understood.]

[There was too little material—only enough to set up the smallest-scale Launch Array.]

[So small that it wasn't enough to launch a normal-sized Star Ship, only enough for a person of normal build to ascend.]

[For Shen Yifeng to obtain this kind of strategic material right under the noses of the Alien Races, the difficulty was unimaginable. Of course, there couldn't be much.]

[You could use this smallest-scale Launch Array to enter space and reach the Channel's position.]

[During this process, there would be a brief period in a vacuum environment, but as a Core Formation realm cultivator, you could endure it.]

[In this process, the Star Ship would be in a shrunk state. Once you reached the Channel's altitude, you could restore the Star Ship to its normal size and continue interstellar navigation.]

[But what about Ah Dou?]

[He was so small—forget entering the space environment, even the low-pressure environment at high altitude could kill him.]

[So Shen Yifeng never mentioned they had a Launch Array on hand.]

[But now, through Black Wind, he was telling you.]

[Without a doubt, for Shen Yifeng, the person they needed to escort off Blazing Star had changed.]

[It wasn't Ah Dou anymore—it was you!]

[This was a cruel decision.]

[Either abandon Ah Dou and leave by yourself.]

[Or stay, raise Ah Dou until he grew up, teach him cultivation, and only take him with you once he had enough strength.]

[You knew deep down that the second option couldn't succeed.]

[Information between planets wasn't sealed off.]

[What if the forces on Blazing Star couldn't catch you, but Alien Race factions on other planets got word and came to catch Ah Dou too?]

[How could you possibly fight the entire universe right now?]

[Little Ah Dou, lying on your back, saw the cold sweat constantly streaming down your cheek and seemed to understand something.]

["Uncle Chen, you go. Ah Dou isn't afraid of death."]

[The Ten Thousand Souls Banner spoke urgently.]

["Aiyoyo! Ptooey ptooey ptooey! Little master, don't talk nonsense! If this heartless Old Chen doesn't want you, this old servant still does!"]

[The Ten Thousand Souls Banner's exaggerated, theatrical tone made Ah Dou laugh again.]

[You thought of something and looked at Black Wind.]

["This Launch Array can only send one person up. Black Wind, how will you leave?"]

["I don't need a Launch Array. They said I'm an ancient divine beast, naturally able to survive in space."]

[You exclaimed in shock.]

[This clan was even more unreasonable.]

["Can you fly here?"]

[You knew very well how hard it was to fly in the Real Realm.]

[Even if ancient divine beasts were unreasonable, they couldn't be this unreasonable, right?]

["I couldn't at first. During the journey with that merchant caravan, they got robbed on some planet. Both sides fought fiercely, and many bandits were killed."]

["And then?"]

["Those bandits were all Dragon-Men."]

[You understood.]

[Black Wind had evolved!]

["Can you still evolve further?"]

["Probably. I feel like I haven't reached the limit of my bloodline yet."]

[With that, you took out a large sack of dragon pearls.]

[These were all things you had picked up on the battlefield while fighting Dragon-Men on Blazing Star—dragon pearls from dead Dragon-Men.]

["Eat up. Evolve some more. Maybe there'll be a surprise."]

[Black Wind went on a feeding frenzy.]

[He ate until his horse belly swelled into a ball.]

[But then Black Wind started channeling his energy to digest, and his belly visibly shrank.]

[All the dragon pearls turned into nutrients for his evolution.]

["Roar—"]

[A dragon's cry erupted from Black Wind's body, the roar turning into a visible shockwave that instantly knocked you back.]

["What the hell! Is this an ultimate form now?"]

[A ring of dark gold light appeared from Black Wind's head and slowly spread all the way to his tail.]

[Wherever this halo passed, Black Wind's body surface was immediately covered with thick, tightly-packed dark gold dragon scales.]

[His horse tail also became more like a dragon tail.]

[Black Wind's normal body size grew even more massive and imposing—over five meters tall at the shoulder and nearly ten meters long!]

[Crimson flames beneath his hooves swept outward in rings, making you feel the scorching heat from far away, their power astonishing.]

["Boss! I think I've purged all the hybrid bloodlines from my body and restored it to my clan's proper bloodline!"]

[Black Wind was a creature of the Real Realm, and no one knew how he had ended up in the Void Realm.]

[He certainly wasn't the first batch of Dragon-Scale Horses to fall into the Void Realm.]

[As Dragon-Scale Horses reproduced generation after generation, they mixed in bloodlines that didn't belong to their clan—it seemed Dragon-Scale Horses had the ability to reproduce with any living creature.]

[Black Wind wasn't evolving by devouring dragon pearls—he was purifying!]

[Your gaze looked into the distance.]

["Black Wind, your evolution made quite a commotion. Looks like we've attracted some attention..."]

[It didn't matter, though.]

[Because you never planned to leave alone anyway.]

["Boss! Hop on! I'll take you to the Channel!"]

["What about Ah Dou?"]

["No problem!"]

[You chose to trust Black Wind and jumped onto his back.]

[Black Wind let out a long neigh, leaped from the mountaintop, his hooves treading on empty air, riding the wind upward.]

[Ah Dou cheered.]

["Uncle Chen! We're flying!"]

[Blazing flames rolled beneath Black Wind's hooves, leaving a brilliant trail of fire in the sky.]

[Black Wind tossed his head, and a surge of divine power roared out, gathering up these trails to form a spherical protective shield around his body.]

["Boss, with this, I can take you and Ah Dou flying in the space environment!"]

["Well, I'll be damned—don't even need a Star Ship or a Channel anymore?!"]
