Qin Mu chuckled. "I agree to your conditions, and in three years, you'll just have to wait to be my mount."
"Swear an oath!" Ao Mengmeng extended her pinky.
"What the heck? You still have faith in that?" Qin Mu asked.
"The Universe Oath," continued Ao Mengmeng sternly. "If you break it under the will of the Origin, you will be rejected by the universe. Such is no laughing matter, even a God King would drop to his knees for it."
Qin Mu reached out to grasp her small paw.
"May the will of the universe bear witness," Ao Mengmeng chanted, her dragon tongue agitating the unseen threads of reality. "Today, Ao Mengmeng of the Dragon Clan and Qin Mu of the Human Race make this vow. Qin Mu shall henceforth be the master to Ao Mengmeng. In reciprocation, Qin Mu shall rebuild the Heavenly Sword Sect and avenge Ao Mengmeng. Additional stipulation: Qin Mu shall not coerce Ao Mengmeng into becoming his mount unwillingly to himself. If Qin Mu successfully attains godhood in the next three years, this clause shall be void!"
The oath had been sworn. A tremor had occurred in the divine soul of Qin Mu.
"Good now, release Xiao Yi," Qin Mu ordered. "For the transmitted messages, you may keep track of them and block them when needed."
Ao Mengmeng nodded in agreement, releasing Xiao Yi. "Actually, surveillance is really frustrating, and this princess's energy is precious. How about this? I will use the Heavenly Sword Sect's core smart system to replace the system behind Xiao Yi, gaining core management authority. Then we don't need to worry about the data, and I can monitor Dragon Star."
Xiao Yi trembled. "Master, help!!"
Qin Mu was tempted. "Is this the core from the Dominion Trial?"
Ao Mengmeng waved her hand."Of course not. This is brand new and unopened. Since I possess the Dao, I possess everything anyway. Take it as a small gift."
Ao Mengmeng smiled as she assisted Qin Mu in modifying his core and said, "It will not affect the little fella in any way, just a simple upgrade."
Xiao Yi was dubious. "Really?"
"This princess never lies," Ao Mengmeng firmly insisted.
"Go for it," Qin Mu said.
Ao Mengmeng reached into a pocket on her chest, pulling out a strand of deep, golden light. It broke apart into innumerable golden dots, dispersing into the projection. Xiao Yi froze for a moment before regaining her composure in seconds, looking astonished.
"Thank you, Master, for helping me upgrade! Master is the best!"
What the hell, Qin Mu thought to himself. This member of the praise cult hasn't changed.
"What about the smart system permissions?" Qin Mu asked.
"Master has the highest!" replied Xiao Yi. "But the previous permissions belonged to Wu Po Xing. Would you like me to delete those permissions?"
"Delete them," Qin Mu decided. He would not be courteous.
"Got it! Master is now Xiao Yi's only superior."
The artificial intelligence was proving useful, perhaps even more than "silly and cute" Ao Mengmeng.
A considerable amount of time had already passed in the real world. The people around him were becoming worried.
Qin Mu had isolated their sound, and they couldn't hear a thing he was saying.
Boom! A massive column of fire appeared out of the cloud of the nuclear explosion in the distance.
The face of Lin Zhang and City Lord Jiang Hong changed drastically.
"A Super-tier Fire Dragon!"
"It's an insect!" Ao Mengmeng said in disdain. "A Star Rank Nine Fire Insect!"
"Damm it. Whether it was a dragon or a bug wasn't exactly what I cared about at this point."
"Ao Mengmeng, you know the situation inside, right? Are there any Galaxy Level Vicious Beasts?" Qin Mu asked.
"I don't know," Ao Mengmeng said hesitantly, shaking her head quickly. "There used to be three bases of the Dominion Trial on Dragon Star. The other two are already damaged, and it took me many years to repair this one."
Qin Mu couldn't help but frown. "But there are three Star Rank Vicious Beast nests on Dragon Star now, and you don't even know the situation?"
"That... that is naturally for a reason," Ao Mengmeng pouted. "Three Dominion Trials, three Starry Sky Trials. The place where the stinky bugs emerged is the passage to the trial secret realm at the Starry Sky Gate. Of course, since the secret realm is sealed and cannot be entered, there shouldn't be this kind of leakage. It must be that the secret realm is has."
Ao Mengmeng raised a hand, and a 3D structural map of the Dragon's Nest appeared instantly.
"Look, the big concentration of energy is at the very bottom, near the trial gate, and it protects every way of measuring energy." Ao Mengmeng supported her slight and fleshy chin and thought, "It seems the condition of the trial gate is worse than what I thought. The earth tremors these days have made the crack on the Gate of Trial bigger."
"Holy crap!!" Qin Mu seriously considered dragging Lu Tian out and killing him again. He wasn't too concerned about detonating a Dragon's Nest, but with the Gate of Trial collapsing and releasing that much energy or trial beasts breaking out, who could possibly kill them now?
Bai Ming, who was standing beside them, could wait no more and decided to make his move. "Senior Brother, the super rank Fire Dragon is so destructive. A single breath is equivalent to tens of thousands of tons of nuclear bombs. If it possesses a Domain, it might be even more terrifying than a nuclear bomb. We absolutely cannot underestimate it. Allow Junior Brother to go and test the waters first."
Bai Ming finished his words and threw out his flying sword.
Smack
Qin Mu grasped him. "I haven't even spoken, and you're rushing to your death?"
Lin Zhang turned sideways in surprise. "To his death? Why do you say that? Even against a super-tier Fire Dragon, the White Sword Sect's strength should be enough to fight it."
City Lord Jiang Hong's eyes flashed. "Pavilion Master Qin.... does the Heavenly Sword Sect have information about that Dragon's Nest?"
