Chapter 1695 — Chapter 1695 The Dragon God Festival Begins!

Seeing their surprised faces, Yuan explained the details of the Dragon God Festival and why he didn't feel confident with them.

"The Dragon God is a godlike entity with strength that rivals a Cultivation God. I cannot fathom someone at my level would be able to absorb it, much less refine it."

While he had a heaven-defying physique that allowed him to refine things one typically could not, even extending the limit of what those around his cultivation could absorb, it did not allow him to refine anything without limit. The training grounds were prime examples. It wasn't as if he could walk straight into the highest difficulty without any preparation. His body could still be destroyed if its limit was exceeded.

"There's also one thing I am worried about."

Yuan wore a serious expression as he spoke, "There is a chance I might not respawn if I die in the Primal Expanse."

"What? Why not?" Wang Ming inquired.

"Because we don't know everything about the system. What if the revival system only works within the Nine Heavens? What if I am too far away for it to work? The heavens have no influence in the Primal Expanse, after all."

After a moment of silence, Yuan asked, "Were there any announcements recently? About me, specifically."

"No, announcements are quite rare nowadays, and anything related to you would instantly rile up the internet," Meifeng said.

"In that case, I'm certain there are limitations to the system. Unless someone has learned Celestial-grade techniques before me, there should've been an announcement about it. I even received the notification that I was the first. However, since I was in the Primal Expanse when it happened, something probably prevented the announcement from being made."

"What if it's like a cell phone and reception?" Wang Xiuying suddenly said. When the others looked at her, she explained, "You know how cell phones cannot receive messages without reception? What if the Nine Heavens is like a cell phone, and the reason it didn't make any announcement was because it couldn't receive Yuan's data in the Primal Expanse?"

"That does make sense and definitely a possibility…" Yuan nodded with a pondering face.

"In that case, the announcements may show up once you return to the Nine Heavens."

"I guess we'll find out when he returns."

"In any case, the chances of my worries coming true have increased now." Yuan sighed.

"Having said that, I have no plans on backing down now. I am going to tackle this Dragon God Festival, regardless of the risks," he swiftly continued with a resolute face.

Although he was concerned, he wasn't losing his mind over it. After all, he was pretty confident the Primal Monarch wouldn't let him die needlessly.

After the feast, Yuan and Yingzi prepared to return to the Primal Expanse.

"I have learned a lot about humans this past month," Yingzi said as she sat on his balcony.

"After seeing so many humans, I think I'll be able to craft a unique appearance for myself."

She closed her eyes and began visualizing her ideal appearance.

In the next moment, Yingzi's appearance began to transform. Her hair grew longer, its color deepening into a much darker shade of black, resembling the void itself. At the same time, her skin became even paler, almost ghostly white, creating a striking contrast against her dark hair.

Her height increased, and her face matured slightly. In just a few moments, Yingzi had transformed from a cute, innocent little girl to a strikingly beautiful girl with a naturally aloof expression, and she even wore a black dress that complimented her appearance.

From behind, she appeared completely human in every aspect. However, once her front was revealed, she left an unforgettable impression, her appearance teetering between human and something ethereal, almost ghostly. It was an otherworldly sight that would linger in one's mind.

"What do you think?" she asked him afterward.

Yuan smiled, "I think it suits you perfectly."

Yingzi smiled back and said, "Now the only thing left for me to experience is sexual intercourse. Hey, let's have sex before we return to the Primal Expanse."

Her bazaar words instantly shattered whatever atmosphere they just had. However, Yingzi spoke with such clarity that it didn't sound like a joke at all.

"That is something you should only experience with the one you love, especially if it's your first time," Yuan responded with a stiff smile.

"Is that how it works?"

"Normally."

Yingzi wore a disappointed look on her face.

"Fine."

Without saying another word, her figure disappeared into Yuan's shadow.

Yuan returned to the Primal Expanse shortly after.

The moment he returned, something in the sky caught his attention.

There were millions of gold tokens hovering in the sky, and beings could be seen grabbing one from time to time.

As Yuan wondered about their purpose, a familiar presence approached him.

"You're back." Long Yejun spoke with a smile.

"Yes. What are those tokens in the sky?" Yuan asked him. "Grab one if you wish to participate in the Dragon God Festival," he briefly explained, showing the token in his grasp.

Yuan looked around and noticed that nearly everyone around him had a token, and there were tens of thousands of beings in his area alone.

He went to grab one for himself a moment later.

"I'll leave just in case the Dragon God matches us in groups." Long Yejun suddenly said.

He wanted to lower his chance of being matched against Yuan as much as possible.

"Then I'll see you after the first trial. Good luck, Brother Yejun."

"Best of luck to you too." Long Yejun disappeared into the distance shortly after.

The very next day, Dragon God's voice rippled throughout the Divine Dragon Sanctuary.

"This is your last chance to grab a token and participate in the festival."

"In thirty seconds, everyone with a participation token will be teleported to a secluded arena with their opponent, and you will not be able to leave until one of you dies. If both fighters are still alive after a month passes, the space will collapse and kill both of you."

The participants were shocked by the last part, which wasn't mentioned until the last second, causing some of the participants to change their minds by tossing their tokens away.

Once thirty seconds had passed, everyone holding a token disappeared into thin air without any warning.

The Dragon God Festival has begun!
