"Phew!"

I finally dodged it.

Watching the Soul Fire Talisman strike the ground behind him, Lucien breathed a sigh of relief. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He only had one HP left; if he got hit, he would definitely have to waste his resurrection skill.

He currently had three life-saving skills.

Substitute Paper Man, resurrection, and Longevity of Heaven and Earth.

He had just used the Substitute Paper Man, so he still had resurrection and Longevity of Heaven and Earth left.

As long as it was possible, Lucien absolutely did not want to waste his life-saving skills easily.

Because you never know whether a surprise or an accident will come first.

Just as Lucien breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly noticed another flash of light heading toward him.

Seeing that familiar light, Lucien’s face turned green.

It was another Soul Fire Talisman.

In the past, he had always complained that the Soul Fire Talisman dealt low damage and had a long cooldown.

However, this time, he felt that the cooldown for this Soul Fire Talisman was simply too short!

How was he supposed to dodge these endless Soul Fire Talismans?

His Healing Spell was still five seconds away; he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to hold out.

It seemed he had to use one of his life-saving skills.

But which one should he use?

Longevity of Heaven and Earth provided ten seconds of invincibility.

After resurrecting, he would be at full health, and if he was careful, his opponent would definitely have no way to deal with him.

While he was hesitating, the Soul Fire Talisman struck Lucien in the chest.

"Ding, you have died."

This was the first time Lucien had died in Battle Online since his rebirth.

Before his body could even fall, the ring on his hand flashed with light, and Lucien’s status was restored; his HP and MP were fully recovered.

Seeing Lucien, whose health bar had been emptied, recover again,

Li Dong was dumbfounded.

"How could this happen?"

He then saw the light flash on Lucien’s right hand.

"A Life Ring? Why does it feel so familiar?"

Seeing that the last God-Invoking Daoist was still dazed, Lucien immediately attacked with a Soul Fire Talisman.

The Soul Fire Talisman exploded on him, but Li Dong ignored it, as if the attack hadn’t landed on him at all.

"Why do I know that it’s a Life Ring?"

"Why am I here? Why do I want to leave?"

The impression Li Dong gave Lucien was that he seemed to have gone mad.

He had been attacking for a while, but the opponent didn’t even retaliate.

However, Lucien didn’t have enough curiosity to go up and check.

He only had Longevity of Heaven and Earth as a life-saving skill left.

He didn’t want to waste his last life-saving skill because of his curiosity.

If the opponent was setting a trap, he would be doomed.

Just like that, ten minutes passed, and this last God-Invoking Daoist finally fell.

From beginning to end, the opponent never fought back.

Fortunately, the Soul-Devouring Bottle played its role; seeing that the opponent’s soul had been absorbed by the Soul-Devouring Bottle, he confirmed that the opponent had indeed died.

This allowed Lucien to breathe a sigh of relief, and he finally had time to look at the magnificent altar.

He used the Insight Skill to look at the egg.

The panel for the egg, which had black patterns, appeared before Lucien.

Name: ???

Race: Dragon

Status: Sleeping

Introduction: A legendary dragon, mysteriously tainted by an ominous presence, placed on an altar to purge the ominousness using the fortune of Japan.

It originally needed fifteen years to hatch, but because you removed it from the altar, it now requires 300 years to hatch.

Special Attribute: Luck - 96

When Lucien obtained this dragon egg, his first reaction was that he had been tricked.

This was clearly absorbing the fortune of Japan, so why was it said that it could suppress Mount Fuji?

What on earth was the relationship between the two?

What was going on here?

Could there be some conspiracy?

"Ding, congratulations on clearing Floor 15 of the Xuanming Pagoda. Reward: Initial Attribute Points +3."

"Ding, congratulations on clearing Floor 15 of the Xuanming Pagoda. From now on, you will receive 10% of all money earned by players in the Xuanming Pagoda."

"Ding, congratulations. Your Initial Attribute Points have reached 30. Attribute growth has changed. All Attribute Points +30."

"Ding, your Luck - 96."

"Ding, due to your talent, the reduction in Luck failed."

Listening to the system prompts, although Lucien had long guessed it, he still couldn’t hide his inner excitement.

He now had two sources of income: one was the Goblin Dungeon, and the other was the Xuanming Pagoda.

The Goblin Dungeon could bring him about 10,000 gold coins every week.

He just didn’t know how many gold coins this Xuanming Pagoda could bring him.

It should be at least 20,000!

After all, one of them was only a level 5–10 dungeon,

while the Xuanming Pagoda was a level 20–30 dungeon, so the earnings would definitely increase significantly.

Moreover, the number of people at level 20–30 far exceeded those at level 5–10.

As for the fact that holding this egg would lower his Luck, that didn’t happen either.

His talent was SSS-Rank, so he wasn’t afraid of his Luck being lowered at all.

Immediately after, a passage leading to the outside world appeared in front of Lucien.

Lucien walked straight out.

By this time, there were no longer any members of the Nine Great Guilds at the Xuanming Pagoda collecting management fees.

After all, for the past two months, Lucien had come here every single day.

As long as he encountered members of the Nine Great Guilds, he would casually take them out.

This made the people from the Nine Great Guilds afraid to come here to collect management fees.

Because there was no interference from the Nine Great Guilds, this place had essentially become a small trading area.

After all, there were quite a few people coming to clear the dungeon every day.

Items that dropped from the dungeon were sold nearby, and many people even started working as carries to help others clear the first six floors of the Xuanming Pagoda.

There were also people selling various supplies nearby.

After all, it took quite some time to travel from the city to the Xuanming Pagoda.

Many people didn’t want to waste time, so they naturally bought some supplies nearby.

Watching the prosperous scene, Lucien took out a Town Portal Scroll as if no one else was around. With a flash of light, his figure disappeared from the small trading area.

At this moment, Lucien had already returned to Wing Province City.

However, following Lucien’s departure, the Xuanming Pagoda underwent a huge change.

The Xuanming Pagoda, which originally had fifteen floors, suddenly became twelve floors.

This matter was immediately noticed by nearby players.

"Look, why does the Xuanming Pagoda only have twelve floors left?"

"It really only has twelve floors left? Did they lower the difficulty because the Xuanming Pagoda was too hard?"

"It must be! Hurry, charge in! Maybe we can get some rewards."

Not only the nearby players, but the various Native Residents’ forces also discovered the change in the Xuanming Pagoda.

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion in Wing Province City, Li Guowei looked at the Xuanming Pagoda, which now only had twelve floors left, and sighed.

"Sigh, what a pity. Why did you have to touch that egg? That is an ominous object, but it is also a divine dragon—who wouldn’t want it?"

At this moment, inside a cave on Mount Fuji,

a Daoist suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Who is it? To dare to take the Black Dragon! The plan would have succeeded in another fifteen years. Why did this happen?"

"I have failed you, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, the Daoist passed out, not knowing whether it was because of the backlash from the formation being broken or the shattering of his hopes.
