Li Cunxu summoned his royal punching bag, the Blood Lotus Carp.

"Curse Crow, Night Dragon Breath on the Blood Lotus Carp."

The Night Dragon exhaled its Night Dragon Breath, the black breath sprayed onto the Blood Lotus Carp, the dark spiritual energy corroding the constant light armor on its surface.

The Blood Lotus Carp was hit by the Night Dragon Breath and felt very uncomfortable. Before its eyes was pitch blackness. At first, it thought it had been blinded, but later realized it hadn't; it could still see things, just that the view was very dark, like looking at things on a moonless, pitch-black night.

This was the unique effect of Night Dragon Breath, giving the enemy a hard-to-see night vision.

"Curse Crow, Dark Dragon Claw."

The dark spiritual energy condensed into a black dragon claw, which slapped the Blood Lotus Carp away like a ball.

"Divine Dragon Tail Strike."

The Night Dragon's tail swung, once again sending the Blood Lotus Carp, still adapting to the night vision, flying.

Li Cunxu murmured, "This evil dragon transformation is interesting; it turns into a Night Dragon and can use all the Night Dragon's abilities."

The Curse Crow, now a Night Dragon, fought the Blood Lotus Carp for a while, or rather, the Blood Lotus Carp was simply getting beaten up. But it was happy to endure this, knowing it could get stronger from it. Suddenly, the Night Dragon shook its head, ending this one-sided beating, and flew back to Li Cunxu's side.

Li Cunxu noticed the situation with the Night Dragon and asked, "What's wrong?"

The Night Dragon's short arms couldn't reach its head, so it used its flexible tail to rub its swollen temple.

"Awoo~ (I received a bloodline inheritance from the Dragon Race)"

"Huh?"

"Transformed into a dragon, yet not a pure dragon, and still able to obtain an inheritance?"

Li Cunxu was very surprised.

Unable to quite understand, he ultimately attributed it to the special nature of the Curse Crow's race.

The Dark Crow's evolution truly amazed Li Cunxu, leading him to plan for the next evolution of a pet beast.

Xiaoruan had already evolved once.

Previously a Water Slime, now a Holy Water Slime.

The evolution of the Crystal Dragon required merit points: the first evolution, hundreds; the second, thousands.

The Crystal Dragon had four hundred merit points remaining, insufficient to deduce Xiaoruan's evolution method.

Xiaoruan excluded.

The Little White Spider was also excluded.

The Little White Spider can evolve with fate points, without needing an evolution method deduction.

"What about the Blood Lotus Carp?"

Li Cunxu thought about it and also excluded it.

The potential of the Blood Lotus Carp hadn't been fully tapped, so there was no rush to evolve it.

"There's still the Mechanical Pupil and Radiant Foal that need evolution."

As for the Crystal Dragon? Not even considered.

The Crystal Dragon had hatched only a few days ago; it's too early to evolve it.

Evolving too soon would damage the potential of the Crystal Dragon, and that wouldn't be helping it, but harming it.

Li Cunxu recalled the breakthrough techniques for mechanical pets and excluded the Mechanical Pupil.

"Wait until Mechanical Pupil is near Gold Nine, then deduce the evolution method."

The breakthrough technique for mechanical pets is a trick technique.

Once a mechanical pet's level reached Gold Nine, it would complete its first evolution, breaking through to Lord level in an excellent post-evolution state with high morale.

If a mechanical pet's level reached Overlord Nine, using the same method repeatedly, it could break through to King level.

This breakthrough technique slightly increased the chances of breaking through a level.

In fact, not only mechanical pets can use this technique, but other pet beasts can too.

However, mechanical pets adapt better to this technique.

Mechanical pets can evolve at any time, but other pet beasts cannot.

For example, if the Holy Lotus Carp needed to evolve into the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon, but its level hadn't reached Gold Nine, only Gold One, forcing it to suppress evolution, and waiting for its level to reach Gold Nine to release the suppression and evolve. Doing so might increase the chance of breaking through to Lord level a little, but it would permanently damage its potential.

Forcing evolution suppression may seem trivial for a short time, but suppressing it for a month or two will significantly drop its potential, potentially preventing it from evolving ever again.

"Then the only option left is the Radiant Foal."

In the Radiant Horse race, the juvenile period is very short, only one or two years, after which the Radiant Foal will automatically evolve into a full-grown Radiant Horse.

"Crystal Dragon, deduce the evolution method for the Radiant Foal."

The Crystal Dragon closed its eyes, carefully sensing before saying, "I sensed three most suitable evolution methods for the Radiant Foal."

"The first is the Perfect Radiant Horse, requiring a hundred merit points for deduction."

"The second is the Night Glow Horse, requiring a hundred merit points for deduction."

"The third is the Flame White Horse, requiring five hundred merit points for deduction."

When Li Cunxu heard five hundred merit points, he promptly forgot the first two.

Since he had to deduce, he would choose the most expensive option.

But with only a little over four hundred merit points remaining, he was short by a hundred points.

"I need to hunt a batch of heretics to replenish the merit points."

In the city, he knew of strongholds of the Evil God, either too strong to touch or already cleared by him. To hunt heretics, he had to leave the city and venture into the wilderness.

Li Cunxu planned to set out tomorrow; tonight, he had a farewell banquet to attend.

The guest of honor at this farewell banquet was none other than his grandfather, Li Shiji.

Some time ago, Li Shiji's bloody retribution caused a terrible impact, and of course, there was punishment to follow. Initially, they wanted to impose the death penalty, but Li Shiji simply couldn't be killed.

Tongdu's high officials, at their wits' end, could only send Li Shiji to the front line under the guise of punishment.

Li Shiji's previous killings were for official business, and naturally, killings for official business were not pursued. But recently, his actions were for personal reasons. Personal killings could not possibly be overlooked by the high officials of Tongdu.

In fact, Li Shiji could have ignored the punishment handed down by the high officials of Tongdu. After all, if Li Shiji refused to go, who in Tongdu could deal with him?

No one could kill Li Shiji, imprison him, or restrain him. Li Shiji was too mysterious, an existence seemingly without solution.

But if he did so, it would mean completely tearing off the facade with the Alliance.

And tearing off facades was exactly what Li Shiji's surviving enemies were hoping for.

While 99.99% of the Alliance might not be able to deal with Li Shiji, it didn't mean the elderly President, comparable to a god, couldn't.

A king who could infinitely resurrect and harbored hostility towards the Alliance was an extremely dangerous hidden threat that would inevitably attract the President's attention and subsequent elimination.

But such a life-threatening mistake was not one Li Shiji would make.

In the game of the previous world, he was praised by the elderly President as 'Li Shiji the Unassailable.'

The farewell banquet was a small gathering of three people, virtually a family dinner.

Li Shiji, Li Anle, and Li Cunxu dined together.

Li Shiji gave both siblings a piece of meat, "Do you know?"

"What?"

"Your parents are not dead yet."

Li Cunxu looked confused, not dead? Then who was buried in the coffin?

"I have your parents' life tokens, and their tokens have not extinguished."

Li Shiji retrieved the life tokens of Father Li and Li's Mother from his Space Ring.

Li Cunxu looked closely and found that the life tokens were indeed still lit.

Li Cunxu suddenly felt conflicted with the urge to exhume the coffin. Since his father was still alive, who on earth had he buried at his father's funeral?
