Time... The Wind Dragon King glanced at Emerald, who was still acting coquettishly toward Yue: "Don't look at her acting pitiful; we are all remnant souls. These dragon bones being gone has no impact on us at all."
Hearing this, Yue turned his head, his dragon tail patting the ground, and chimed in with a muffled voice: "Wind Girl, you're being too harsh. Sister Emerald is almost in tears!"
"Idiot." The Wind Dragon King glared at him.
Arthur examined the brilliant Emerald Dragon King skull bone in his palm. This bone was not as heavy as the mountain dragon king torso bone, nor as light and agile as the Wind Dragon King's Spirit Bone. Instead, it possessed a peculiar sense of transparency.
The surface of the bone shimmered with a silver-blue halo, and light patterns could be faintly seen flowing inside. Just holding it in his hand caused the surrounding space to slightly distort.
The Emerald Dragon King spoke faintly, her aggrieved tone having subsided considerably, but her glazed eyes still held a hint of reproach. "What's inside this skull bone of mine is my insights into space-time from over the years."
"Although it has been worn down too much now, if it can truly be fused, it will be enough for you to walk as if on level ground on the Dao of space-time. Sister Wind didn't lie to you."
The Wind Dragon King gave a light snort, her cyan eyes squinting at her: "At least you're being sensible."
Arthur was in no hurry to begin the Fusion, lowering his head in thought.
He suddenly realized he had obtained too many dragon bones. The mountain dragon king torso bone was fine, but adding the bones of the Wind Dragon King and the Emerald Dragon King—and there might be more later.
Almost all the bones in his body would be related to the Dragon Clan.
At that time, wouldn't he be suppressed to death by the Dragon God?
However, in the next second, Arthur tossed this thought to the back of his mind.
If you're afraid, don't use it; if you use it, don't be afraid.
I'm thinking too much.
As the Creation God of this realm, let alone the Dragon Clan, even the flowers, plants, and trees would be suppressed by the Dragon God.
The Emerald Dragon King looked at the silent Arthur and noticed he was concerned about something. Her glazed eyes curved slightly: "mistress, rest assured. Although the Power of Time and Space is profound, the Dragon God Imprint protects your Sea of Consciousness, so nothing will go wrong. It's just..."
She paused, her tone carrying a hint of a reminder: "After the Fusion, your perception of time may become acute, and you might even occasionally catch glimpses of fragments of the future or the past. You might not be used to it at first."
Yue wagged his tail at the side and said carelessly: "What are you afraid of! Little girl Emerald's Spirit Bone is a treasure. You kid, hurry up and fuse it. Meanwhile, we'll wait for ourselves to recover a bit, then we'll go find Guang."
Arthur nodded, no longer hesitating.
Soul Power enveloped the Emerald Dragon King skull bone, and the silver-blue light instantly intensified. The entire bone turned into a stream of light, entering his Sea of Consciousness through the point between his eyebrows.
In an instant, Arthur felt everything around him slow down.
The strands of wind wrapped around the Wind Dragon King's soul body, the dust kicked up when Yue wagged his tail, and even the seven-colored halo drifting from the depths of the Dragon Valley.
Everything was like stretched film, moving slowly frame by frame.
His consciousness, however, was exceptionally clear. He clearly "saw" within his Sea of Consciousness that the seven-colored light spots took the initiative to meet the silver-blue light, gently enveloping it and slowly guiding it to the center of the Sea of Consciousness to merge with the Origin of his Spiritual Power.
There was no intense pain as he had imagined, only a strange sense of transparency, as if a mirror that had been covered in dust was wiped clean. The World presented a brand new level in his eyes.
He "saw" it—not with his eyes, but with a perception that transcended vision.
Deep in the Dragon Valley, the gold and silver light curtains around Gu Yue and Na'er were slowly rotating. With each rotation, their aura became more solid, and one more scale on the Dragon God phantom behind them lit up.
He "saw" the capital of the Star Luo Empire outside the Dragon Valley, where everyone was happily playing after the competition.
He even "saw" further away, deep in the ocean, that "beacon" light spot that had been pushed into a corner by the seven-colored light spots. It was flickering slightly, as if calling out for something.
Finally, it was the Shrek Academy turned into ruins... These images flashed by like ripples caused by a stone thrown into the water, quickly disappearing.
Time resumed its normal flow.
Arthur opened his eyes, silver-blue light patterns flashing through the depths of his eyes before vanishing.
He raised his hand and lightly swiped his fingertip through the air. A tiny silver-blue rift appeared out of thin air, its edges shimmering with ripples of space-time distortion. Though small, it truly existed.
He already had spatial abilities, and now he was even more powerful, with stronger control.
"It's done!" Yue wagged his dragon tail excitedly. "How does it feel?"
Arthur withdrew his hand, and the rift disappeared. He carefully felt the changes in his Sea of Consciousness. Under the nourishment of the space-time power, the original Spirit Abyss Realm Peak Bottleneck quietly loosened and began to gradually transform toward the Spirit Domain Realm.
Before long, he would completely achieve a Breakthrough to the Spirit Domain Realm.
Even more wonderful was that his perception of the surrounding space had become incredibly acute; he could even vaguely "touch" the locations of those space-time nodes within the Dragon Valley.
"Very good," Arthur said sincerely. "Thank you, Emerald Senior."
The Emerald Dragon King bowed slightly, her tone returning to its previous gentleness: "mistress, you are too kind. Being able to help is this sister's honor."
But beneath that gentleness, there was some resentment from being forced to "give away" her Spirit Bone.
The Wind Dragon King was too lazy to look at her like this and urged: "Since the Fusion is finished, let's go find Brother Guang."
"I still have one doubt. During the Fusion just now, I saw some... perhaps images of the future," Arthur said hesitantly. "Is the future seen certain?"
He recalled the ruins of Shrek he had just seen at the end; that must have been done by the Holy Spirit Cult using the god-slaying soul tool cannon.
But setting everything else aside, he would stop what the Holy Spirit Cult intended to do.
Could it be that his attempt to stop them later failed?
Hearing Arthur's question, a deep light flashed in the Emerald Dragon King's glazed eyes.
She floated a bit closer, the silver-blue halo swirling around her as she transformed into a beautiful teacher wearing a uniform and gold-rimmed glasses.
She tapped on a phantom blackboard she had conjured.
Arthur was dazed for a moment. This Emerald Dragon King must have frequently sneaked out of the Dragon Valley to live in human society.
The deliberate tenderness in the Emerald Dragon King's voice faded, replaced by a bit of solemnity.
"'Is the future certain?' That is truly a question that touches upon the essence of space-time, mistress," the Emerald Dragon King said softly. "What you'saw' is not so much a certain 'future' as it is the most likely 'possibility' based on the countless threads of Karma at present. It is the thickest and brightest main trunk among countless temporal branches."
She raised her illusory hand and sketched in the air. Silver-blue light threads intertwined, forming a complex tree diagram that constantly branched, spread, and converged.
