Cultivation Pet Shop

"Another new special cultivation realm?" Lin Fan couldn\'t help saying to himself.

He quickly opened up the panel and he was shocked when he saw what the newly released special cultivation realm was.

He couldn\'t help staring at the panel in front of him with a very confused look before that confused look turned into a look of doubt. 

After staring for a bit, he couldn\'t help asking, "System, are you sentient?"

Because that was the only thing that he could think of when he saw what this special cultivation realm was.

The system answered, "The system only has the artificial intelligence given by the gods to run the system. The system does not have the "sentience" that you are referring to."

It was a mechanical voice, but Lin Fan was filled with doubt when he heard this.

After all, the new special cultivation realm was called "Dragon Race Cultivation Realm".

The system was clearly trying to send Lin Fan to the Dragon Race\'s homeworld after what had happened with the Dragon Race\'s envoys.

The more Lin Fan thought about it, the more certain that he was of his doubts.

Every time something seemed to happen to him, the system would give him some kind of mission to help him. It was as if the system was purposefully guiding him to a single target.

No, rather it seemed like it was getting rid of his worries so that he could focus on achieving what the system wanted him to achieve.

It almost seemed like he was playing into the palms of the system.

If that was the case, could it be that the system wasn\'t a blessing, but rather a trap?

The more that Lin Fan thought about this, the more he thought that this was the truth.

That was until the system suddenly said, "This system was designed to guide you in your new life, this system does not have any malicious intent towards the host. The system is just taking steps to help relieve you of any troubles you face."

Lin Fan couldn\'t help being taken aback when he heard this.

As he had expected, the system really was sentient to a certain extent and he had even confirmed that it was able to read his mind.

But when he heard what the system said, he couldn\'t help wanting to believe it a bit.

If it had wanted to hurt him, it could have left him to die in many different situations.

Like back on the Galactic Humanity Alliance…

If it had just left him, he would have already died at the hands of that Huang Xiao Hou.

He didn\'t know what had saved him at first, but he had figured out that it was the system in the end.

There were also many other times where he had been saved by the system.

Just recently, the Outer God fragment…

There were many times where he would have died without the system, so if it wanted to hurt him, it wouldn\'t have bothered saving him all those times.

As for the system\'s mysterious goal…he had no ideas at all.

So for now, he decided to trust the system.

After this thought passed through his mind, he turned his attention back to this special cultivation realm.

…

Deep inside of Lin Fan, inside of the golden palace.

The golden version of Lin Fan had been watching everything through the screen in front of him. There was also a voice that sounded like Lin Fan\'s voice that was narrating all of his thoughts.

After hearing Lin Fan make up his mind about trusting the system, the golden version of Lin Fan let out a sigh of relief.

If Lin Fan wasn\'t willing to follow the plan that they had set, then all of this would be meaningless. This plan was pivoted on the fact that Lin Fan would be willing to help them, so if he wasn\'t…

That was also why he had released all of those missions helping Lin Fan.

He had wanted to help him take care of all his worries so that Lin Fan could focus on the main mission that he had for him.

But he now realized that was a mistake since it just made him seem even more suspicious.

If he had been a bit patient, everything would have worked out in the end.

However, with the increasing signs of Outers that he was seeing through Lin Fan\'s eyes, he knew that the time that they had was limited.

It seemed that the Outers were getting more impatient as well since they weren\'t keeping the covenant that they had made.

So it didn\'t seem like he had time to wait for Lin Fan to follow the plan.

…

Since he had made up his mind about going to this special cultivation realm, the first thing that he had to do was discuss this with Qing Ao and the others.

He wanted to find information about the Dragon Race\'s homeworld while at the same time, he wanted to discuss with them what he should do if he went there.

After all, if he went there now, he wouldn\'t have any kind of goal in the first place.

But to his surprise, when he met with Qing Ao and the others, Qing Ao actually told him…

"There\'s no reason for you to go."

Lin Fan revealed a confused look when he heard this and he waited for Qing Ao to explain.

Qing Ao gave a sigh and said, "What are you planning on doing there? Are you going to kill my brother and all of his men?"

Lin Fan suddenly revealed a look of understanding as he realized that Qing Ao was right. Even if he were to go there, it wasn\'t as if there was anything that he could do since this was a political matter.

Only if he had some way of helping Qing Ao\'s father take down Qing Ao\'s brother in a righteous manner would he have a reason to go there. Otherwise, he would just be trespassing on the lands of the Dragon Race for no reason.

In fact, it would even make the Dragon Race more cautious if he were to go there unannounced and it was found out.

Lin Fan had just assumed that since it was something that the system had given him, there would be a solution from the system for this matter. But he realized that he had completely underestimated the situation.

He couldn\'t help complaining about the system in the back of his mind.

But when he did, there was a sudden notification from the system again.

It was another mission being released.

Lin Fan was caught off guard by this sudden mission, but when he looked at it to see what it was, he couldn\'t help being even more shocked.

Qing Ao and the others were also caught off guard when they saw the sudden change in Lin Fan\'s expression.

Qing Ao looked at Lin Fan with a concerned look and asked, "Are you good? Is there something wrong?"

Lin Fan didn\'t answer at first as he read the mission details and then he said, "What is the Dragon Stone?"

Qing Ao was shocked to hear this, clearly never expecting Lin Fan to suddenly ask this question.

After a moment of silence, Qing Ao suddenly asked, "How do you know about the Dragon Stone?"

Lin Fan didn\'t answer as he waited for Qing Ao to answer his question.

Qing Ao narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan as if he was starting to doubt him, but after a while, he said with a sigh, "You really should give an explanation. The Dragon Stone is a secret that few people in the Dragon Race know about."

But he also didn\'t wait for Lin Fan to respond as he said, "The Dragon Stone is a treasure passed down in the Dragon Race that had the ability to purify bloodlines. However, it was lost a few generations back when it was in the hands of our Azure Dragon Tribe. Because of this, our Azure Dragon Tribe lost our standing in the Dragon Race for a few generations until my father\'s generation. With my father\'s power, he was able to bring our Azure Dragon Tribe back into the ranks of the top tribes, but if we could get the Dragon Stone back…"

His voice trailed off when he said this.

Then he continued, "So that was why I was sent to the Galactic Humanity Alliance since we heard rumours that the Dragon Stone was found near that area."

Lin Fan nodded before saying, "What if I told you that the Dragon Stone is still on the Dragon Race homeworld?"

Qing Ao revealed a shocked look before revealing a look of doubt as he asked, "How do you know this?"

Lin Fan just said with a secretive smile, "I have my ways."

Qing Ao deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

From what he knew about Lin Fan, he knew that Lin Fan wasn\'t someone to joke about things like this.

Since he was saying this, it was very likely that the Dragon Stone was on the Dragon Race homeworld and he knew where it was.

Hong Long narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan before asking, "Is it the master of the store?"

Lin Fan didn\'t say anything in response to this, but it was clear by the look on his face what the answer was.

After seeing this, Hong Long looked at Qing Ao and said, "I\'ll leave this decision to you."

He did want to go back to the Dragon Race homeworld since he wanted to bring Xiao Feng back, but he also knew how dangerous it was right now. So he would leave everything to Qing Ao who knew the best.

After hesitating a bit, Qing Ao gave a nod and said, "Let\'s go."
