Do you ever have a day where nothing goes right? Well, this is everyday for Neveah.

"Hehe."
Chu Xian laughed coldly as he read through Saintly Dragon Farm and Primordial Farm's attempts at discrediting him.
"This opening ceremony… when the time comes, I'll have to go and take a look."
 After Saintly Dragon announced the purchase, many acquaintances texted him to ask about the situation, and Chu Xian didn't hide anything. He hadn't prepared to sell large ornamental fish in the immediate future, but Saintly Dragon and Primordial's mudslinging made him sick.
"Boss, aquariums from Germany's Primordial entered our Chinese market!"
When Chu Xian arrived at the store the next day, Zhang Xiaohua immediately approached him.
"I know." Chu Xian nodded. "Germany's Primordial mainly works with ocean ornamental fish and they're not new to the aquarium business, but this is the first time they've set foot in China."
"I don't think this is a coincidence." Zhang Xiaohua looked at him then said, "We just opened our aquarium store last week and four or five other stores have already appeared in Hai Qing City, but those aren't worth worrying about. There are many new sea tank stores in other cities as well, but they all fall short of our standards by a lot. Germany's Primordial is different. The're capable and even if they aren't as good as us, the difference can't be that big!"
Chu Xian nodded. Since Primordial dared to gamble in a foreign market, they definitely made preparations. Their work might not be as good as his sea tanks, but the difference in quality wouldn't be too obvious.
"Boss, Jing Hai City is one of the most prosperous cities in China. Shouldn't we enter the market in Jing Hai City sooner rather than later? Otherwise, when Primordial has stabilized its position in the market, we can only drink the soup while they take all the meat!" Zhang Xiaohua said again.
"We should. Let me handle this!" Chu Xian's eyes flashed coldly.
Zhang Xiaohua nodded again.
On the third morning after the grand opening, Chu Xian drove to Jing Hai City accompanied by Sword Two and Sword Four. The two strongest swordfish wore suits, ties and leather shoes. Everything about their appearances shouted "bodyguards," including their impressive physiques and not-at-all-cliché sunglasses.
"Nine forty. I hope we're on time." Chu Xian checked the time and smiled.
"Looks like I'm not late!" Chu Xian drove to a spot downtown and saw the entrance to a store surrounded by flowers and congratulatory paraphernalia. He parked nearby.
He walked over to the two stores and examined their placards.
Saintly Dragon Ornamental Fish; Primordial Aquarium.
The two stores were neighbors and both looked very luxurious. Many people were already standing outside the store entrances, and close to the entrances was a little stage.
"Very grand!" Chu Xian looked around. The man who purchased the Arowana from him, Lu Cheng, was also present. There were also a couple other familiar faces.
Chu Xian's arrival was immediately noticed by the people from the two fish farms, and they all looked at him with surprise.
Lu Cheng was also stunned. Although he gave Chu Xian an invitation, he wasn't genuine and had been confident that Chu Xian definitely wouldn't come, but to his surprise, he came and even had his bodyguards bringing a basket of flowers.
"Is he trying to mend our relationship?" Lu Cheng guessed as he walked over to a group of people, whispering quietly and pointing at Chu Xian.
The middle-aged men turned to look at Chu Xian.
Chu Xian returned the gaze. The group was a mix of Singaporeans and Germans.
"Haha, you must be Mr. Chu from Ornamental Fish in Paradise." The group walked over and one of them greeted him loudly.
The people gathered around heard the commotion and immediately turned to Chu Xian. Ornamental Fish in Paradise?
"Hehe, that's right. Since you invited me, of course I had to come to congratulate you all. Tsk tsk, you bought my Arowana, but can you sell it again for a decent price?" Chu Xian smiled at Lu Cheng.
"Hehe, we didn't buy it to sell; we bought it because we felt that this champion fish was too good for its owner, so we spent lots of money on matching it with a suitable owner," one of the middle-aged men replied, smiling at Chu Xian.
"Oh, is that right? Then I do hope you won't disappoint it," Chu Xian said with a fake smile then turned to the people from Primordial. "You've entered the aquarium market in China. The market looks to be on the rise right now!"
"Of course. Our professionals have already done their research. The aquarium market is very good in China, and we'll open stores in each of the most prosperous cities within the month. In the following half year, we'll open stores in all the mid-sized Chinese cities," the representative from Primordial said confidently.
"Then I will congratulate you in advance." Chu Xian smiled.
"Haha, no need, no need. I've heard that Paradise also sells sea tanks and that business is going well. Ah, youth. Jumping from one industry to another when you struggle. In the end, you won't do anything well," the middle-aged man said in a patronizing tone.
"I recklessly jumped industries?" Chu Xian laughed and looked at them mockingly. "I thought you envied my aquarium business, so you entered the Chinese market? Or am I wrong?"
"Haha, son, your current situation reminds me of how you were at the exhibition. It's almost the exact same scene - flashing gaudily without any substance. In the words of the great ancients, you're just a paper tiger that won't last against failure!" That middle-aged man said with a gloating smile, "I remember like it was yesterday!"
Chu Xian shook his head slightly. "You said it wasn't good for me to enter an industry recklessly, so I will remind you as well that it isn't so simple to enter an unfamiliar market."
 "Is that so? Then we'll see with the popularity of our two stores!" Lu Cheng smiled.
"Alright. You invited me and I came. I wish you all the best of luck!"
Chu Xian shrugged, and the people from Saintly Dragon and Primordial laughed coldly.
With the promotions prepared by the two magnates combined with the sound and fury of the forum debates, many aquarists and busybodies came for the grand opening. At the moment, there were one to two hundred people gathered around.
Saintly Dragon and Primordial's opening ceremony was a lot more complicated than Chu Xian's was, and at ten a.m., the managers of both stores went up on the little stage and made many remarks.
They not-so-subtly implied that there was a particular fish farm that didn't deserve its title. This farm only relied on luck and didn't have the foundation to back up their short success. Saintly Dragon was and had always been the best in the Arowana business. They claimed to have a long history and impressive development. In a word, they were very glorious!

Ever since Edwin became an animagus he would wonder around the castle or sleep where ever he could, it would be an understatement to say that Edwin loved his animagus form.
 
As Edwin was talking a cat nap in the common room of the four houses he overheard Hermione and Fred" Fred have you seen Edwin… Well if you do tell him that Hagrid wants to tell him something important"
 
"I'll tell him mione" Fred replied with a smile" how's it goin with Viktor Krum you two seem like a perfect couple "
 
Hermione face turned red with the mention of Viktor "Nothing's going on"
 
"Well that's not what I heard from Ron" Fred replied within interred looked" I heard you two are inseparable like a boggart and it's closet"
 
"What did Ron Tell you" Hermione shouted grabbing Fred by his robes.
 
"Take it easy" Fred said moving Hermione and walking back" All he said was look up"
 
"what, "Hermione asked as she looked above her head to see a ball of water floating" Fred" Hermione shout as the ball of water dropped her but it didn't soak her clothes.
 
Edwin who got tired of listening to them left the chamber and made his way to Hagrid's hut to see what he wants, Edwin guessed it has something to do with the first task of the Triwizard tournament even though he knew what it will be he still went in case there is a change like with Moody.
 
"Hagrid" Edwin called knocking at the door.
 
"Comin "Hagrid shouted opening the door" Oh Edwin glad ya could come so early"
 
"Hermione said you wanted to see me" Edwin stated to enter the clean hut
 
"Ah yes ther sumn I gotta show ya" Hagrid said looking around "But ya gotta keep this to yer self ya hear"
"Hagrid" Someone called knocking at the door.
 
"I'm almost finish Maxime "Hagrid shouted out then whispered "Come on following behind ma but be quite"
 
"Got it "Edwin replied and waited till Hagrid left with Madam Maxime, he followed not too far behind them but not close enough to hear what they are saying as he didn't wat to eardrop.
 
"Here we are," Hagrid said showing Madam Maxime three large cages with a dragon in each" aren't they the most beautiful thing yer seen"
 
Edwin who had done his research on dragons in preparation for the first task could recognize the dragons, there is a Welsh Green dragon, Chinese Fireball, and a Hungarian Horntail.
 
"Isn't this great" Edwin said to himself sarcastically, after all, Edwin had hoped since Harry wasn't in the tournament there wouldn't be a Hungarian Horntail anymore but seeing the giant lizard with black scales and a wing, there was no doubt that it's a Hungarian Horntail.
 
Edwin went back to the castle hoping that he won't get the Hungarian Horntail, on his way back he saw the grass moving towards the area where the dragons are being held," Igor" Edwin mutter before turning into a cat.
 
On the day of the first task just before lunch Edwin was called to meet with the other contestants, wearing the Hogwarts school clothes, and the four houses badge Edwin followed by his friends arrived close to the tent.
 
As only the contestant could enter the tent they stopped and wished Edwin good luck in their own way before the went to the stands.
"Mr. Vaclav you have kept you waiting," Bartemius crouch Snr said showing Edwin to the center of the tent," the first task is courage… Now you must have the courage to face the unknown but in this case, you must have the courage to face and take a Dragon's egg"
 
The contestant did their best to act surprised" Now now Bartemius we can't keep the crowd waiting" Ludo said carrying a bag to the contestant "You each have to reach in the bag and grab a dragon and that is the dragon you shall face"
 
"I have yet to explain the task fully" Bartemius hissed at Ludo who seems too anxious "you shall retrieve an egg similar to this" Bartemus said showing everyone a large golden egg that looked similar to that of a dragon egg.
 
"you shall receive points for how fast you complete the task but do not rush as points will be deducted for injuries sustain, Points will also be an award for the efficacy in retrieving the egg and I must remind you points will be deducted for damaged eggs"
 
"Are you finish?" Ludo asked with much attitude" now don't be shy reach in and pick a dragon"
 
Fleur was the first to reach for a dragon as neither Edwin nor Viktor showed any sign of moving, Fleur pulled her hands out of the bag and showed everyone a miniature green dragon, the dragon she pulled out is the Welsh Green dragon.
 
"what number is it" Ludo quickly asks.
"Une" Fleur replied.
 
"Yes, your first" Ludo shouted out.
 
Edwin and Viktor stood still waiting for the other to go up first," you go "Viktor said with a nod.
 
"Thanks" Edwin replied reaching into the bag, Edwin tried to feel the shape of the dragon so he wouldn't draw the Hungarian Horntail but they all felt the same to him; leaving everything up to luck Edwin reached into the bag and pulled out the Hungarian Horntail.
 
"Number three" Edwin mutter looking at the statue.
With two out of the three dragons drawn Viktor quickly reached in and got the Chinese fireball" now each of you will be separated and will wait for your turns" Bartemius said showing everyone out.
 
"Fleur, Viktor Good luck," Edwin said going into another tent that was made for him.
 
"I wish you luck Edwin" Viktor replied.
 
"pleaz be careful," Fleur said before leaving to her tent.
 
In his tent Edwin could leave until it is his turn, He could still hear the rowing of the crowd watching the other contestants which made his heartbeat louder and fasted unable to keep still Edwin paced back and forward going over his plan of action.
 
"Edwin it's time," Ludo said opening the tent for Edwin.
 
As Edwin walked toward the arena that is holding the Hungarian Horntail he heard Ludo announcing his name "For our third and last contestant I present you Hogwarts's Champion Edwin Vaclav who will be challenging the Hungarian Horntail "
 
The excitement in Edwin died down after he enters the arena" Con-fring-go" Edwin said pointing his wand at the dragon's chest with the spell cast a fiery orange light flew out of his wand hitting the dragon in the chest and an explosion erupted pushing the dragon back and soon a scream followed by fire came out.
 
Edwin wasn't worried about the dragon fire as it shot up due to the explosion but that didn't mean he stayed the same place, moving to the side Edwin summon a mist and a large quick sandpit not too far from where the dragon is.
 
When the dragon recover looking at slightly damage scale it charged toward Edwin with a fiery breath that could melt rocks, Edwin quickly moved out of the way barely dodging the fire, the dragon now in the Sandpit could easily get out using its wings but Edwin wouldn't let it" Oculi aestuets"
 
Edwin cast the spell aiming for the dragon's eyes luckily his time practicing with Snape paid off as he hit the dragon in the eyes causing it to swell, Dragon possesses thick hides that can resist magic to an extent but their eyes couldn't be protected.
 
To avoid any unnecessary accidents Edwin summoned chains and lock the Hungarian Horntail tail to the ground, as a Hungarian Horntail could kill with its tail alone.
 
With the Dragon stuck in the quicksand as its eyes is too irritated to fly Edwin simply walked and collect the Golden Egg, Edwin walked out of the arena holding the egg in his hand.
 
"Edwin" Isabella called out as she hugged Edwin" that was amazing"
 
Edwin didn't expect that Isabella would hug him but without thinking, he wrapped his arms around her and a smile grew on his face" it wasn't anything"
 
"Son" Ivan shouted" you did good guess Snape's teaching you will, "Ivan said grabbing Snape shoulder.
 
"Edwin that was dangerous" Wendy said hugging Edwin" Dangerous but brilliant… your father said it wouldn't be dangerous, what were you thinking attacking a dragon… couldn't have used an invisibility charm?"
 
"Grandfather, Grandmother," Edwin said seeing his Grandparents with Yasbel clapping as they approached him.
 
"Well done my boy," Asen said "you make your family proud"
 
After the judges finish calculating the points, it was announced, Edwin is in the lead followed by Viktor then Fleur, they champions were later called into the tent and were given the hit for the next task.

  Accessing Lore Selecting  Origins of the Fire-Breathing Beast by Ian Harvey]

+ From ancient Greek myths to Game of Thrones, the legend of the dragon is one of the most enduring and romanticized throughout history. It has been traced back as far as 4000 BC and exists in all parts of the world. In and around Europe dragons are viewed mostly as monsters of evil intent. In ancient Rome, the army used dragons as symbols of strength. During the Renaissance, fear of sea monsters kept sailors from venturing too far from known waters, and the edges of their maps would read "Here be dragons."


+ The etymology of the word dragon, which it says entered the English lexicon in around 1220 and was used in English versions of the Bible from the early 14th century. Dragon derives from Old French, the language used by nobles and law courts following the Norman conquest of 1066. This, in turn, stems from the Latin draconem or Draco meaning "big serpent," which was derived from ancient Greek δράκων (drakon).


+ In Greek mythology, the Hesperian Dragon named Ladon was a hundred-headed serpent that guarded the golden apples in the garden of the Hesperides. Historically, European dragons were viewed as being evil, jealous, and greedy hoarders of treasure. In the stories, they were generally treated as violent monsters who must be slain by heroes and saints. European dragons could have four legs, two legs, or none, and often had wings.


+ In Asia, and especially China, the view of these creatures was very different. Dragons were thought to live under the ocean in the winter, arising in the spring with a clap of thunder to bring the rain needed for their crops, according to the American Museum of Natural History. They breathed clouds and moved the seasons. The dragon was the symbol of the Chinese Emperor, and the Imperial throne was called the Dragon Throne. Known as the Dragon, the emperor ruled in harmony and brought peace and prosperity to all.


+ Chinese dragons are depicted as being more serpent-like, with long, snaking bodies and usually had four legs. They are generally seen as wingless. How people view them and what they believe about them varies widely, but the idea is too widespread not to think there are some common roots.


+ Ancient Origins discusses a number of potential roots. The first one is crocodiles. Saltwater and Nile crocodiles are the two largest living reptiles on earth today. Currently, saltwater crocodiles live in the eastern Indian Ocean region, and Nile crocs in the rivers, marshes, and lakes of Sub-Saharan Africa. But 1,000 years they had a much larger habitat range and could have been encountered by people living in Greece, Spain, and Southern Italy.

 Back to Lore Selecting The Dragon in Ancient China by Mark Cartwright]

+ Dragons appear in the mythology of many ancient cultures but nowhere else in the world was the creature quite so revered as in China. There, in marked contrast to other world mythologies, the dragon was almost always seen in a positive light and particularly associated with life-giving rains and water sources. Considered the most auspicious year sign, worn on the robes of emperors, depicted in the most precious materials from gold jewelry to jade figurines, and with countless references in literature and the performing arts, the dragon was everywhere in ancient China and looms as large today in the Chinese psyche as ever.


+ One of the earliest creatures to appear in the tales and legends of ancient China, the dragon is most often depicted as a giant and lithe beast which dwells in either water sources or clouds.


+ The Chinese dragon is extraordinarily powerful, and when it flies, it is usually accompanied by lightning and thunder. When, by whom, and on what reality the dragon was first invented is not known, although some historians suggest a link with rainbows and a 'serpent of the sky' which is seen after rain showers or at waterfalls. Carved jade dragons have been excavated at sites of the Hongshan culture, which can be dated to 4500-3000 BCE, far before any written records of the creature appeared. The historian R. Dawson gives the following description of the Chinese dragon's physical attributes.


+ Alternative descriptions give similar attributes but sometimes with the body of a snake, the eyes of a rabbit, the belly of a frog, and the antlers of a deer. Other qualities of the dragon were that it could change its shape and size at will and disappear or reappear wherever it wished.


+ The Chinese scholar Wen Yiduo suggested that this fantastic collection of beastly parts was actually based on the political union of several different tribes, each with a different animal as their totem. The dragon was, therefore, a symbolic representation of the assimilation of these tribes into a single nation. An interesting hypothesis, it does not, however, explain the appearance of dragons long before any such political associations existed in early Chinese communities.


+ Despite the dragon's fearsome aspect it was not usually seen as the bad-intentioned monster that inhabits the myths of other cultures around the world where it is typically slain by a brave hero figure. Indeed, in China, the dragon was and is regarded as being a just and benevolent creature.


+ It is for this reason they became associated with rulership and especially the emperors of China who, in their capacity as the holders of the Mandate of Heaven and as God's representative on earth, must always rule in a just and impartial manner for the good of all their subjects.

  Accessing Myths Selecting Dragons And Dragon Kings In Ancient Mythology]


+ We encounter dragons in almost every ancient culture of the world. Dragons played an important role in the beliefs of our ancestors and these creatures were depicted in a variety of ways.


+ Dragons can be placed in two groups- East and West dragons, and they were regarded as either good or very fearsome and evil creatures. In ancient China, the dragon was a highly significant creature that became a symbol of the Emperor and his throne was sometimes called the Dragon Throne.  Ancient Chinese believed dragons were in control the weather and water. These creatures were said to be able to manipulate oceans, floods, tornadoes, and storms.


+ There are nine distinctive Chinese dragons and some of them are serpent-like creatures with large bodies and long heads. The dragon in China is believed to be a benign creature that is said to bring wisdom, power, and luck. They are famous for their goodness and to ward off evil, protect the innocent and bring safety to all. Tradition and celebration of New Year in China can be traced to a dragon named Nien (or "year").


+ Nien was a legendary wild beast that attacked people at the end of the old year. Villagers would use loud noises and bright lights to scare the creature away, a practice that slowly morphed into the Chinese New Year festivities. Today the dragon has its own year on the Chinese calendar. On the British Isles and in Scandinavia, dragons were often depicted as wingless creatures. In this part of the world, the dragon was depicted as a more malevolent creature that was very difficult to kill. The West dragon was wingless and lived in dark places or wells where he was guarding hoard treasures. Approaching the dragon was almost impossible because of its poisonous fire breath. Dragons in British and Scandinavian mythology often appear in stories when a prince tries to save a young maiden from being abducted by the fearsome animal. 


+ If he can slay the dragon, he can become the new King and win the girl as his bride.n ancient Chinese mythology we encounter five enormous dragon kings who were rainmakers and rulers of the waters. Four of them were stationed at the cardinal points and ruled the seas. Their chief had his abode in the middle. The five dragon kings were named Lung Wang. The dragon kings of China lived in crystal palaces under the sea. 


+It was believed these underwater dwellings were part of the mysterious Underworld that could only be reached through underground mountain caves and special secret entrances. When the Water Dragons rose to the surface the caused typhoons and when they flew through the air caused heavy raining and hurricanes. The Dragon Kings are among the deified forces of nature of the Taoist religion. A dragon's head was one of the most famous symbols of the Vikings. 


+The Viking dragon was in many ways a representation of the Midgard Serpent, a mythical sea creature who fought with the Norse god, Thor. The reason why Vikings built ships with huge dragonheads was that they wanted to appear as frightening as possible from a long distance. Vikings called their longships "Drakkar" or dragon ships and the dragon was a powerful and fearsome symbol of war.


+ Many have seen the Welsh flag features a red dragon and that the Prince of Wales uses rampant dragons on his banner. The old British word "draig," meant leader, and the word, "pen," meant head. The two words combined to form Pendragon or Pen Draig, a noble surname in early Britain as early as the fifth century. The dragon symbol continued to be used by the last native Welsh princes of Wales, Llewelyn ap Gruffydd, and Owain Glyndwr, during their struggles against English occupation in the 14th and 15th centuries.


+ The Pendragon name in Welsh literature includes Uther Pendragon, father of the legendary King Arthur.

Computer interpreting mythological creatures. After that creates or tells small stories on them. This is mostly for fun I hope you can forgive me I do not think this would be interesting to most people but please give it a try.

With a faint smile, Zhang Tie turned around and looked at those guys in the carriage from the seat of the cab.

"I really appreciate that you saved me once again, your excellency. I promise I would play a bigger role on your side than in the vanguard!"

"Old dog is not suitable to this guy at all. He should be called old fox." Zhang Tie thought inside before revealing a smile, "Before the vehicle arrives at the destination, if any of you don't want to follow me, you can get off the vehicle for your own future at any time. From now on, you have about 1 hour to consider it! I'm not a big figure. I'm just a small figure. I bear grudges. Therefore, I can bear your ignorance about me; but I can not bear your betrayal. Have a good time considering about that!"

After saying this, Zhang Tie closed the rear window.

Basically, condemned prisoners were scumbags. However, not all of them were condemned prisoners. Zhang Tie found that these guys were not that bad. Therefore, he took them away. As for their future, they had to seek for blessings themselves. 

Thinking of these guys' "bright experiences"——liar, thief, smuggler, counterfeiter and abnormal doctor who was especially responsible for castrating rapers, Zhang Tie wondered whether these guys would bring him a nickname "the king of douchebags" in the future.

"Never mind!" Zhang Tie just revealed a smile...

Zhang Tie believed in fate very much. Additionally, Zhang Tie knew that he didn't look like a king unless he disguised as a damn father. Therefore, he gave them some time to consider it. If they didn't agree, they could leave. That was not a big deal.

After closing the rear window, Zhang Tie didn't care about their whereabouts anymore. Instead, he started to observe the situation in the Selnes Theater of Operations. On the way, Zhang Tie felt that the theater of operations was more like a work site than a military camp. Soldiers in military uniforms and battle armors could be seen everywhere. Armored vehicles were parking on the roadside one row after another. Besides, the peripheral fortifications outside the Mocco City existed everywhere which caused goosebumps all over Zhang Tie. 

Over 10 km away from Mocco City, the erecting battle fortresses on the plain looked like steel forests. Those battle fortresses were distinctive in styles and sizes. All of them were filled with killing intent. Although it was daytime, the chimneys of the battle fortresses were smoking, making Zhang Tie feel like staying in a big industrial city. At this moment, the black smoke brought people a sense of safety.

As long as the chimneys were smoking, everyone knew that humans were still defending this defense line.

Over 5 million human soldiers really caused a great Qi field here.

After leaving Mocco City, the military truck kept driving towards northwest. The road in the wild had been covered with pits by the track-laying vehicles. Therefore, the truck ran slowly. After about 1 hour, the steel battle fortresses became sparse and a magnificent battle fortress appeared in front of Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie finally understood why the battle fortress of Jinyun Country was called Crystal Battle Fortress. Because this battle fortress was really too huge and magnificent. The 6 grim independent battle fortresses formed 6 supporting points and the skeleton of crystal battle fortress. The huge steel structure modules connected the 6 battle fortresses in the form of city walls and formed a huge, crystal-sized steel city. Erecting on the Selnes Plain, it displayed the power and magnificence of Chinese countries across Blackson Humans Corridor. 

100 m away from this huge battle fortress was sentry posts and anti-tank trenches, which prevented vehicles from drawing closer.

"Sir, we've arrived at the crystal battle fortress of Jinyun Country! Our truck can not drive in!" the truck driver dispatched by Major Hobby watched that magnificent battle fortress in front of him with an admiring look. 

"It's fine! Thanks. I will enter it myself!" after saying this, Zhang Tie opened the door as he waved his hand towards the driver.

Followed by the other guys in the carriage. Four of them stayed——Hillman, the old dog; Michel, the warehouse keeper; Figo, the vet and the counterfeiter whose nickname was Manager. Frasier, whose nickname was Black Shark had already gone on the way. 

Zhang Tie was very satisfied to have 4 of them.

"Before Frasier left, he asked me to tell you, as you've saved him twice, he will appreciate you when there's a chance!" Hillman told Zhang Tie.

"Alright. Good luck to him!" Zhang Tie didn't mind it at all. After that, he took them towards that sentry post outside the crystal battle fortress. At the sight of the young Chinese looks, Zhang Tie felt intimate at once.

"I'm Zhang Tie. Please notice inside, I want to see the director of Huaiyuan Palace!" Zhang Tie spoke in Chinese. Given the shape of the crystal battle fortress, Zhang Tie knew that all the 6 families of Jinyun Country must have dispatched their elites here to participate in the war.

"You're from Huaiyuan Palace? Could you show me your certificate?" a Chinese fighter asked seriously. Judging from Zhang Tie's common clothes, he didn't believe in Zhang Tie's words. 

Zhang Tie then took out his clan identification plate and showed it to the two fighters at the sentry post. All the elites of the 6 big clans of Jinyun Country had such a clan identification plate. At the sight of the plate, the two soldiers knew that Zhang Tie was not bragging.

Below the crystal in the middle of the plate was Zhang Tie's photo. On the back of the plate was "Zhang Clan, Huaiyuan Palace" engraved.

After telling Zhang Tie to wait here for a short while, a fighter immediately ran into the battle fortress.

When Zhang Tie talked with the 2 fighters, Michel and the other guys looked confused. Only Hillman revealed an amazement.

"You know Chinese?" Zhang Tie asked Hillman in Chinese.

"This is the popular language in the superb society of Waii Sub-Continent. It's the best reflection of one's culture and class. I understand it a bit." Hillman spoke in Chinese fluently. 

After hearing that Hillman called Waii Sub-Continent instead of Blackson Humans Corridor the moment he came to the Chinese battle fortress, Zhang Tie sighed inside, "What a talent!"

After waiting here for less than 2 minutes, Zhang Tie saw an armored man running out of a gate of a battle fortress hurriedly. 

"Ah...junior fellow apprentice Zhang Tie, that's you!" that guy became excited the moment he saw Zhang Tie.

"Long time no see, senior fellow apprentice Liu Xi!" Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could see his junior fellow apprentice whom he recognized in Hidden Dragon Island. Therefore, Zhang Tie also became spirited at once. 

After glancing at Zhang Tie for a short while, Liu Xi heavily patted on Zhang Tie's shoulders, "I've not imagined that I could see you here. I deeply believed that you would not die that easily..."

Zhang Tie was startled by Liu Xi's words, "Ah, who told you I was dead?"

"Hahaha..." Liu Xi burst out into laughter, "They are just boring. As you've not showed up for a long time in Hidden Dragon Island, plus some gossips, they thought you were already dead. It's good to see you back. They will shut up this time! Oh, who are they..."

Liu Xi's eyes fell on Hillman and the other's guys.

After recovering his composure, Zhang Tie replied, "Hmm, they are my retinue. I take them out to cultivate. A steward, a material keeper, a private doctor and a customs consultant!"

Liu Xi became silent for a second as he didn't think they fit their status given their military uniforms. He then pulled Zhang Tie's hands and walked inside, "Let's talk inside!"

Zhang Tie glanced at those guys, who hurriedly followed up.

"Oh, senior fellow apprentice Liu Xi, who's the director of the Huaiyuan Palace here?"

"Senior sister Xi!"

Hearing his answer, Zhang Tie almost fell down...

"What's wrong, junior fellow apprentice?"

"Ah, nothing." Zhang Tie swallowed his saliva and he hurriedly told a lie, "I was a bit shocked to hear that. I remember that senior sister Xi was just LV 9 when I left Hidden Dragon Palace. It's really out of my imagination that she could preside over the current situation here on behalf of Hidden Dragon Palace!"

"Senior sister Xi is super talented as shiny as the sun and the moon. Senior sister Xi had reached LV 9 four years ago. After the battle in Heavens Cold City, senior sister Xi smoothly promoted to LV 10; after one and half years, she promoted to LV 11; 3 months ago, she was officially promoted to LV 12 and became the youngest great fighting master in the history of Hidden Dragon Palace. She's really our role model!" Liu Xi replied with an admiring look.

Being shocked inside, Zhang Tie had not imagined that Lan Yunxi could reach such a level in only a couple of years. Even if Lan Yunxi was the pride of the God and enjoyed the rich resources of Huaiyuan Palace, her promotion speed was very terrifying, "You're right, senior fellow apprentice, senior sister Xi is indeed our role model!"

"Junior fellow apprentice, you're also not bad. Although you were not in Hidden Dragon Island these years, you had also become the idol of many brothers in Hidden Dragon Island. Your reputation could even match senior sister Xi!" Liu Xi sighed with full of emotions.

"What idol?" Zhang Tie asked with a surprising look.

"Haha, no disguising anymore, junior fellow apprentice." Liu Xi revealed an ambiguous smile which could only be understood by men, "We all thought that you were living a poor life in the barren place Blackhot City, we've not imagined that you could have over 40 lovers in that place. They all have their own features, some are enchanting, some are adorable, some are plump. How amazing it is! If they were not transported to Huaiyuan Prefecture, the brothers in Hidden Dragon Island might have not known your cool days in Blackhot City at all! If senior sister Xi has the greatest fighting force in Hidden Dragon Island, you must be the Love Affairs Number One in Hidden Dragon Island."

The moment Zhang Tie heard the nickname "Love Affairs Number One" did he feel a chilly sense...

After the Catastrophe, every rule in the world was rewritten.

Champion City deserved the title of the largest city in the Eastern Continent. This human city was at least 5-6 times larger than Red Lake City, and that wasn't all. The economy in the city was at its peak. The NPCs in the city were generally leading very happy lives. With around a hundred guilds based in the city, the city was very prosperous.

Clear Moon, who was standing outside of the teleportation point, said to Fruit Jelly beside him, "T-this is the first time I've been to Champion City."

Fruit Jelly nodded as she observed the people in the city that were more numerous than a hive of ants, mouth agape. "M-m-me too…"

"Why have you guys not visited this place? It's not that expensive to teleport here. You're acting like country bumpkins entering the city for the first time." Golden Man was someone who visited Champion City often, but the crowd gave him a headache as well. "My goodness, why are there so many people? I bet we'd be scattered in the crowd before we could find the registration NPC."

"This place is just too big and with so many people around, I'm afraid that I'll get lost." Clear Moon sniffed again. He was still in awe of Champion City's grand scale and the sheer number of players in the city. "If only Red Lake City was this prosperous."

Ever since Upwards Ho! had bound its staging area to Red Lake City, all the members of the guild had also bound their city-recalling stones to the city as well. A lot of them joined Red Lake City as a citizen. Although they'd benefitted from the daily quests in Red Lake City, they still couldn't help but envy the prosperity of such a huge city.

Just as the group was still contemplating how to enter the city, Bai Mo sent a message in the guild channel. "I've managed to to register our guild. Don't leave the vicinity of the city or we might not be able to locate you later."

Ye Ci, of course, went into the city alongside Bai Mo. She was able to put her high Agility and Balance to good use in the crowd and reached the registration NPC before Bai Mo. There were a total of 5 NPCs in charge of registration in Champion City, situated in the North, South, East, West and Central Districts. All the NPCs were surrounded by crowds of players.

The Dragon Dance Competition required teamwork. There was only one rule: No solo players accepted, only teams with between 5-100 members were allowed. The condition was announced on the official website before the New Year, and a lot of solo players had banded into groups.

The registration was done by the leader of a party. Judging from the sheer amount of party leaders registering their parties, one could roughly guess the number of players in the city.

As the guild leader, Bai Mo was fast to register the name 'Upwards Ho!' to the NPC. A notification panel then appeared in front of all the party members: The emcee of the Dragon Dance Competition wishes to invite you to the competition arena, do you agree?

The panel would only appear once. If a player selected 'reject' by accident, it meant that they forfeited from the competition and could not enter the arena. Bai Mo shouted in the guild channel, "Look closely, choose 'confirm?' Y'all must choose 'confirm!'"

After some white flashes, they were transported into a special arena. It was a very vast plain with soft green grass. One could not even see where the plain ended. There was a little flag planted on the ground every 20m, and the name of each registered party was written on the flag, while the party members stood below the flag. The props for dragon dancing were placed beside the flag.

The dragon props for each team were different. Ye Ci's party's was a green one decorated with golden patterns. The dragon's eyes were bright and full of life, as if the entire prop was a real dragon.

Players who took part in this activity were divided into 3 categories: parties with 20 members and below were the Lightweight category; parties with 21-60 members are categorized as Middleweight; parties that had 61-100 members were of the Heavyweight category. They would compete in different arenas and receive different rewards.

The rewards for being the champion in the Heavyweight category were abundant. The winner would receive a lvl 5 guild encampment and an Epic tier title for all the guild members. That was why all the 72 members of Upwards Ho! had taken part in the event, forming a Heavyweight team.

The members had decided their positions. Bai Mo and Let Go Of That Girl had the highest Strength in the party. That was why Bai Mo was at the head of the dragon while Let Go Of That Girl was at the middle part of the dragon. These 2 positions were the key for the dragon to move forward smoothly. Because of her high Agility and Perception, Ye Ci was placed at the tail so that she could have a better view of what was going on.

The entire area was bustling with activity due to the huge number of contestants. Just then, a siren blared across the field, and countless multi-colored ball shaped objects appeared all over the place. They were the very crucial items in the 4 rounds of competition: 'Pearls.'

The first round was simple. Players were to collect the 'pearls' scattered all over the plains. The top 10 teams would advance the the next round. Players were allowed to use any means at their disposal to grab the pearls as long as they did not leave the vicinity of their dragon. Of course, the usage of weapons and abilities were not allowed in the arena.

A few more sirens blared, notifying players that the competition was about to begin. The players raised their dragons, and with a signal from the system, the hundred-something Chinese dragons headed for the 'pearls' scattered around the plains.

Dragon Dancing was no longer exclusive to China. The culture had spread to foreign nations as well, and many foreigners would enjoy watching the Dragon Dance. However, simply spectating it was an entirely different matter than doing it for real. Dragon Dancing had the same working concept as 3 legged racing. The people involved must have synchronized pace and tempo.

However, to synchronize the tempo and pacing of nearly a hundred individuals was easier said than done. A few moments after the event started, chaos erupted as players lost their footing and fell. Sometimes it was one of the players and the dragon's body fell, sometimes the head or the tail.

Laughter, clamor and all sorts of noise filled the place. Although the prize was their ultimate goal, the players were able to remain cheerful despite their blunders, as it was the New Year. The atmosphere was jovial.

Upwards Ho! was one of the parties who had done some minor preparations. It was said in the rules that if one let go of both hands from the pole supporting the dragon's body, the person would be counted as forfeiting from the competition. That was why despite falling down a few times, none of them had dared to let go of the pole.

"Don't panic, everybody remain calm. Humans, Orcs, Elves and Lycans please slow down so that the Dwarves, Gnomes and Undead can keep up." Bai Mo himself had tripped and fallen several times. He laughed and then shouted into the guild channel, "We gain nothing from being so rushed, if some of us get disqualified accidentally, it's not worth it."

The members of Upwards Ho! stopped, got into formation, and marched in place as they followed Bai Mo's marching cadence. They began to advance once they'd gotten used to the pace.

Ye Ci spotted a colored ball in front of her, and just as she moved to retrieve the colored ball, somebody in front of her threw something out and grabbed hold of the ball.

"Pea Cake, what's that?"

"It's the cat claw that I gave you. I thought I couldn't use it. But it seems that the use of tools was not prohibited alongside the usage of weapons." Pea Cake chuckled as he fiddled around with the cat claws.

So that was how it worked.

Ye Ci took the cat claw out of her inventory as well. After swinging it around for a few times, Ye Ci was able to get used to it. As a ranged class, Ye Ci was able to grasp the range of it well, and she was able to collect more than 10 colored balls within a short period of time.

"Pea Cake, do you have any more of those cat claws?" Shouted Bai Mo after noticing the two having fun with their tools. If all members of the party could have one, it would definitely be great.

"I have 11 of them right now. That'll be a total of 12 including the one Gongzi has."

"Hand them to the Hunters, Mages and the Rangers. Those who received the cat claws, just remember to keep up with the rest of us, and try and grab those color balls that are too far away from us." Upwards Ho!'s dragon stopped once again under Bai Mo's command. When they once again resumed moving, Upwards Ho!'s dragon was like Spiderman.

Whenever they advanced, there were not any colored balls left as long as they were within range of the cat claws.

The other guilds were quick to notice the method used by Upwards Ho!. They were unable to identify the the tool used by Upwards Ho!, and thought instead that it was some sort of rope as they began to imitate it, greatly improving their efficiency.

"Bang!" A dragon head suddenly bumped right into Bai Mo, and a wave of dizziness washed over him, "What the heck, collision in such a wide space?"

"Dammit Steel Blooded Battle Spear, why do you bump into us?" Ideal Height 1.7m was standing behind Bai Mo. The moment they bumped into him, she immediately recognised the guild. She then remembered the incident where Ye Ci left Steel Blooded Battle Spear, and associated their as an act of revenge, "You wanna fight?"

"Well, even accidents could happen in the highway, so what if we accidentally bumped into you?" The person replying was Peacock Blue, who then showed off her perfectly round breasts to Ideal Height 1.7m and snorted, apparently looking down on her height.

"What, who do you think you are?" Seeing that somebody was trying to bully Ideal Height 1.7m, Let Go Of That Girl rushed out with his portion of the dragon's body and landed a kick on a Steel Blooded Battle Spear member.

A section of the Steel Blooded Battle Spear's dragon that was moving smoothly fell, and the guild members from both sides began shoving and kicking at each other.

"To the members of Upwards Ho! and Steel Blooded Battle Spear, if you do not break away, you will be disqualified immediately." A familiar voice rang out just was the two dragons were 'clashing' with each other.

Translator's note:

Dragon Dance (舞龙) is a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture. Like the lion dance, it is most often seen in festive celebrations. The dance is performed by a team of dancers who manipulate a long flexible figure of a dragon using poles positioned at regular intervals along the length of the dragon. The dance team simulates the imagined movements of this river spirit in a sinuous, undulating manner.

The dragon dance is often performed during Chinese New Year. Chinese dragons are a symbol of China, and they are believed to bring good luck to people, therefore the longer the dragon in the dance, the more luck it will bring to the community.The dragons are believed to possess qualities that include great power, dignity, fertility, wisdom, and auspiciousness. The appearance of a dragon is both fearsome and bold but it has a benevolent disposition, and it was an emblem to represent imperial authority. The movements in a performance traditionally symbolize historical roles of dragons demonstrating power and dignity.

 In the end, Ge Da Tian's clone also gave Wei Xiao Bei some advice. Essentially, he suggested he learn some skills in the mortal realm first. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to learn anything even if he went to the Shing Wong Temple.
 After saying all that, Ge Da Tian's clone dove into Wei Xiao Bei's body and vanished.
 Wei Xiao Bei was still stuck in thought. He organized all the plans he had and all the things he needed to do in the near future.
 When he heard Huang Kun mention that a temple festival was being held near Shing Wong Temple of Cui Hu City, he was inspired. Wei Xiao Bei decided to walk the streets and look for inspiration and see if there were any exceptional craftsmen he could learn from and attempt to obtain a related skill.
 It would be very convenient if that was possible.
 Huang Kun and Zhu Xin Yi were the first to respond upon hearing that their master wanted to go to the temple festival. Zhao Guang also appeared to be fairly excited. He had never even heard of such a thing as a temple festival. He was all riled up just from listening to Huang Kun describe the event.
 Andre also got the whole family ready after hearing of the trip. All of them changed into traditional Chinese costumes.
 The traditional costume looked good on Andre and his family, but there was no changing their faces. They still looked every bit the foreigners they were.
 Of course, the gangsters-turned teenagers had no right to choose. They were just a bunch of minions. They dare not tag along with the rest of the group?
 Hehe, anyone amongst Zhao Guang, Huang Kun or Zhu Xin Yi would be enough to beat them until they cried.
 Wei Xiao Bei solemnly slipped into a large windbreaker for this trip, wrapping a scarf around his face, putting on shades and wearing a hat on his head, as if he was a celebrity avoiding the paparazzi.
 The others couldn't help but giggle when they saw his appearance.
 Wei Xiao Bei couldn't help it either. He had no other choice.
 His Charm was too high. [Pan An's Beauty] only made things worse. It was the daytime right now. If he didn't dress like this, he would most definitely be swarmed and devoured by those crazed women before he could reach the temple festival.
 Everyone wanted to laugh at Wei Xiao Bei's appearance, but their chuckles were stifled by a frustrated Wei Xiao Bei.
 After all, the only one amongst them who could stand their ground slightly against Wei Xiao Bei was Zhao Guang. 
 However, Zhao Guang was plenty obedient to Wei Xiao Bei. Huang Kun only found himself with two bumps on his head after trying to encourage Zhao Guang to rebel against his master. 
 It was true that Wei Xiao Bei's Charm had been weakened after he wrapped himself up so badly. The effect of [Pan An's Beauty] also vanished after he covered his head with the scarf and put on the shades.
 Wei Xiao Bei finally let out a breath of relief when he saw the women on the streets acting normally at the sight of him.
 He had to admit, being too handsome was a real burden sometimes.
 It was now that Wei Xiao Bei remembered that the SUV was still parked at the Phoenixhead Mountain parking lot. Having Zhou Xing Yuan go fetch the car now would be too late. As such, the entire group called for two taxis and they set off for Cui Hu City's Shing Wong Temple.
 Shing Wong Temple was located in the north of the city. It had been completely destroyed in a war several decades ago. The current temple was rebuilt on the same location a few years ago when the major tycoons of the city decided to fund its construction.
 It was almost Chinese New Year's now. There were many people who had returned to Cui Hu City for the celebrations, causing the cars on the streets to be extremely crowded.
 They sat in the car for over an over before arriving outside Shing Wong Temple.
 There was still over five or six hundred meters to the temple, but the taxis could not move any further. The crowd was too large there. Even cars couldn't make their way through.
 Wei Xiao Bei frowned at the massive crowd. 
 For a person like himself, who had spent so much time in the Dust World, he felt uncomfortable being too close to people.
 Put plainly, he felt no sense of security.
 Even though Wei Xiao Bei had more than enough power to kill everyone here, that sense of unease would not just vanish with increased power.
 "Andre, open a path up in front. Zhao Guang, you stay on the right, Huang Kun, you stay on the left. We will squeeze our way in! "
 After arranging his followers in a formation as if he was a general, Wei Xiao Bei and his party finally moved forward.
 One had to admit that Andre, the big European bloke, was best for making way at the front. He shouted with his badly accented Chinese as he walked forward, "Make way, make way."
 Setting aside the fact that he was extremely strong, most people were too embarrassed to scold him when they saw he was a foreigner, even when he accidentally stepped on some people's feet.
 It couldn't be helped, Chinese people tended to be the perfect paragon of politeness in front of foreigners.
 Meanwhile, though Zhao Guang and Huang Kun were young, they were like unmoving mountains in the crowd. Anyone that tried to squeeze past them would feel like they were running into a solid mountain.
 With these three hard laborers doing all the work, Wei Xiao Bei, Xin Yi, Andre's family, and the teenagers finally got through the crowd and entered the plaza in front of Shing Wong Temple.
 This plaza in front of Shing Wong Temple served a different purpose from the Downtown Plaza. The Downtown Plaza was meant to display the landmark buildings of Cui Hu City, while the Shing Wong Temple Plaza was for the temple festival held during Chinese New Year's.
 There were all sorts of snacks for sale, along with performers, antique sellers, and even some fortune-tellers.
 This place would always be so lively when the holidays came.
 In truth, this was the first time Wei Xiao Bei had come to the temple festival of Shing Wong Temple Plaza despite having lived in Cui Hu for so long.
 There wasn't such a lively place back at Wei Xiao Bei's old hometown. At best, there were some parades during New Year's, but there was no festival.
 "Everyone brought your phones with you? Meet here at noon. Let's split up for now."
 Wei Xiao Bei saw the excitement on everyone's faces when they reached the flagposts at the center of the plaza. He decided to just have everyone go enjoy themselves.
 Huang Kun was the first to jump in excitement upon hearing these words. He dragged Zhao Guang with him and vanished into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
 Xin Yi dragged the teenagers by her side, knocking them in the head if they refused to listen to her. So, one by one, they followed obediently behind her like little ducklings.
 Naturally, Andre's family walked together, examining one street stall after another like they were looking for treasure.
 Everyone split up and soon, they had all disappeared into the crowd.
 Wei Xiao Bei looked around and saw a group of kids gathered around a sugar painting stall. He slowly walked over there.
 He hadn't intentionally picked this sugar painting stall. He was just walking around and trying his luck to see if he could obtain some skills.
 Sugar painting was one of the famous traditional folk arts in China. It was most popular in the Sichuan region and used very simple tools. A small furnace, two spoons, one large and one small, a spatula and a flat marble board. Of course, you needed a spinning board. All sorts of animals were drawn on the board, mostly the twelve zodiacs, along with a dragon, a phoenix, a dragonfly, a butterfly and a bunch of other animals. You would decide what sugar painting you get by spinning the wheel.
 The syrup was made by adding white sugar to the big spoon with a bit of water and roasting it until it turned into a fine golden color. The syrup could then be poured onto the marble board where it could be shaped and fashioned.
 Since it was a craft, the technique of the craftsman was key.
 Sugar painting was one of Wei Xiao Bei's favorite things when he was a kid.
 Now, there were already machines that could automatically make sugar paintings. It was said to be a revolution in traditional sugar painting folk art. Wei Xiao Bei couldn't help but click his tongue when he read the news.
 Crafts had to be made by hand for it to have meaning. What's the difference from a commercial product off the factory line if it was made by a machine? It would lose all its meaning and significance.
 He stood at the stall and looked on for a while. He nodded. The technique of this sugar painter was pretty decent. The sugar was not too thick or thin and the designs were fine and delicate, perfectly balanced. He must have been working on sugar paintings for over twenty years, given his skills.
 "Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!"
 A kid paid the money and spun the wheel, shouting loudly as he did so.
 Unfortunately, his luck wasn't too good. The pointer landed on the dragonfly and the kid became dejected.
 It was simple. How much sugar went into the painting had to do with the design of the painting.
 For instance, the dragon and phoenix used the most sugar, while the dragonfly and the butterfly used the least.
 When he was younger, Wei Xiao Bei preferred a flat piece of sugar candy, the thick kind. It used just as much sugar as the dragon or the phoenix, but he got to lick it for longer periods of time.
 Wei Xiao Bei finally felt like he had learned something after watching for so long. He was itching to try his hand.
 Coincidentally, the sugar painting master got up and looked around, a sort of urgency written on his face.
 Wei Xiao Bei didn't need to look to know that he was looking for the restroom.
 However, the business was doing good now. Yet, he had no one to take his place. He couldn't help but get worried over the whole situation.
 "Sir, go to the restroom. Lend me your stall for me to play around. Here's the deposit."
 Wei Xiao Bei said as he passed him five hundred dollars.
 The sugar painting master was in his forties and was a bit reluctant to just do so.
 After all, anyone would be concerned if a stranger just stepped forward and said something like that.
 However, in the end, his intense need to use the toilet defeated him. He gave it some thought as well. This was five hundred dollars. His whole stall put together wasn't even worth that much. There was nothing he needed to worry about.
 At the thought of this, the master took the money and slipped into the crowd, making straight for the public toilet.
 The children gathered around the stall became upset when the sugar painting master left. After all, this sugar painter used the most sugar in his art and had the best drawings of them all in this temple festival.
 These children were not as silly as the adults made them out to be. They knew how to make the most of their money as well.
 Just as the children got up to leave, Wei Xiao Bei sat on the stall and started hollering, "Big giveaway now! The first ten kids get a free sugar painting. Who's up for it?"
 The stall immediately became lively with children when they heard him say that.
 After all, who wouldn't want something that was free?
 The children got into a crowd and almost pushed the sugar painting stall over.


One day, Wei Xiao Bei gets dragged into The Dust World, a post-apocalyptic world ruled by monsters from myths, legends, games, etc. He also gains the power to travel between it and the real world, as well as the power called the 'Status Panel'. With this power, he chooses to strengthen himself to explore the vast mysteries and terror of the other world. What mysteries await him? What is The Dust World?
Author's Synopsis:
What the hell is this? What the hell happened here?
How did my room become so ruined after a single night?
The floor and table were covered in dust, his new poster of Zhang Liang Ying that had just been posted on the wall a few days ago had already become yellow and tattered all over. Even Zhang Liang Ying’s beautiful face became monstrous as if an old devil was looking at him with a terrifying smile.
The walls were covered by a mist of cobwebs and the fruits placed on top of the coffee table were withered and rotted to the point that the mold on them had turned black. The fruits below even seemed to have turned into mush. The aluminium framed window that the landlord had just installed not that long ago was now covered in a layer of white ash and the glass was filled with cracks and covered in dust.
The computer beside his bed was also covered by cobwebs and was accompanied by an empty water glass with a withered worm inside of it.
Dust filled the air making Wei Xiao Bei choke as he tried to breathe.
Everything seemed to be ash gray without any light as if looking at television static.
After just one night, it seemed like everything in the room had aged for centuries or even millennia.
Mother… is this a dream?
This must be a dream!

Soon, the time for the first task had arrived.

The atmosphere in the school was one of great tension and excitement. Lessons were to stop at midday and they were to be sent to the school grounds.

Time was behaving in a more peculiar fashion than ever, rushing past in great dollops, so that one moment he seemed to be sitting down in his first lesson, History of Magic, and the next, walking into lunch.. . and then, Professor McGonagall was hurrying over to him in the Great Hall. Lots of people were watching.

"Kingscrown, the champions have to come down onto the grounds now... . You have to get ready for your first task."

"Okay," said Arth, standing up, his fork falling onto his plate with a clatter. "Good luck, Arth," Luna whispered. "You'll won't die, I think."

"Yeah," said Harry in a voice that was most unlike his own. "Go show them."

However, Arth knew what he was going against wasn't something he could easily accomplish.

He heft the Great Hall with Professor McGonagall. She didn't seem herself either; in fact, she looked anxious. As she walked him down the stone steps and out into the cold November afternoon, she put her hand on his shoulder.

"Now, don't panic," she said, "just keep a cool head. . . . We've got wizards standing by to control the situation if it gets out of hand. . . . The main thing is just to do your best, and nobody will think any the worse of you. . . . Are you all right?"

"Yes," Arth said. "Yes, I'm fine."

He would be fine as long as he didn't get THAT.

"If you say so, I just want to say, that you are the most brilliant student I've ever had."

She was leading him around the edge of the forest, but when they approached the clump of trees behind which the enclosure would be clearly visible, Arth saw that a tent had been erected, its entrance facing them, screening the task from view.

"You're to go in here with the other champions," said Professor McGonagall, in a rather shaky sort of voice, "and wait for your turn, Kingscrown. Mr. Bagman is in there. . . he'll be telling you the - the procedure. . . . Good luck."

"Thanks," said Arth, in a flat, distant voice. 

Did she think he was going to die?

Fleur Delacour was sitting in a corner on a how wooden stool. She didn't look nearly as composed as usual, but rather pale and clammy. Viktor Krum looked even surlier than usual. Cedric was pacing up and down.

"Arth! Good-o!" said Bagman happily, looking around at him. "Come in, come in, make yourself at home!"

Bagman looked somehow like a slightly overblown cartoon figure, standing amid all the pale-faced champions. He was wearing his old Wasp robes again.

"Well, now we're all here - time to fill you in!" said Bagman brightly. "But before that, shall we commence the memory wiping?"

Everyone hesitated before nodding their heads. One by one, their memories relating to previous knowledge about the first task were erased. A slight foggy effect evaded his mind as he forgot. . . . He forgot. . . . What did he forget again? All he remembered was to not get THAT. But what was THAT?

"Now that that's finished, let's get to it. When the audience has assembled, I'm going to be offering each of you this bag" - he held up a small sack of purple silk and shook it at them - "from which you will each select a small model of the thing you are about to face! There are different - er - varieties, you see. And I have to tell you something else too.. . ah, yes... your task is to collect the golden egg!"

In no time at all, hundreds upon hundreds of pairs of feet could be heard passing the tent, their owners talking excitedly, laughing, joking. About to watch people risk their lives.

And then - it seemed like about a second later to Arth - Bagman was opening the neck of the purple silk sack.

"Ladies first," he said, offering it to Fleur Delacour.

She put a shaking hand inside the bag and drew out a tiny, perfect model of a dragon - a Welsh Green. It had the number two around its neck. Fleur flinched and krum, Cedric, And Arth stared at the minuscule dragon with horror.

Wait a minute.

This can't be.

Krum pulled out a scarlet Chinese Fireball. It had a number three around its neck. He didn't froze before sitting back down and stared at the ground.

Cedric put his hand into the bag, and out came the blueish-gray Swedish Short-Snout, the number one tied around its neck. 

Arth hesitated.

Something told him, that the last dragon was going to be the worst. It was as if his hidden memories were screaming at him to be careful.

When Arth reached in and took out a dragon, he instantly went still, petrified.

It was an Alaskan Sapphire, beauty of the arctic wasteland.

Panda is depressed today.....The novel's voting got a ban, I have asked in the forum. They typed I wrote Chinese character in the chapter which banned my novel and wasn'tallowed to get voting.... The novel got no vote :( Panda is sad and stress, got midterm coming next week....  Also, I saw in the comments saying his divinity would be useless in different universes. It will be not, since like I said the cultivation method he used came from different universes as the books in his library are the more powerful ones that were made from different universes. So his divinity is only weakened for a few weeks to a year or so. Please don't expect something good, as I cannot mend your broken expectation when the time comes. I just know I try my best in making an interesting plot. So Good luck to us and let's hope for a happy ending after a thousand or so chapters.

Our Lazy 17 years old MC "Ye Han" died of a heart attack. Luckily while he was being judged by God. God decided to give him a chance to reincarnate to another world with 7 wishes
