"Ahem …"
Su Chen coughed and said, "Please give me the Heavenly Dao Divine Pattern."
He wasn't sure if the Centaur Mother was awake, so he decided to test her first.
As soon as Su Chen said that, the Centaur Mother opened her eyes.
Her eyes were actually rainbow-colored, appearing very dreamy and magnificent, with a hint of holiness.
Su Chen didn't feel any hostility when he was stared at by the rainbow-colored eyes. He even felt that the eyes were a little gentle.
The Centaur Mother opened her hand and revealed an ancient meteorite. "Is this the Heavenly Dao Divine Pattern you were talking about?"
Dian Dian immediately said, "The source code is inside."
Su Chen nodded. "Yes, this is what I've been looking for."
"Your identity must be extraordinary. I can feel how terrifying the energy contained in this stone is. In order to prevent it from leaking to the human world, I've been in seclusion here for countless years. Now that you've finally appeared, I've also regained my freedom."
The Centaur Mother didn't mention any conditions and directly threw the meteorite to Su Chen before turning to leave.
Su Chen let Dian Dian absorb the source code. He looked at the Centaur Mother's back and couldn't help but chase after her.
"Are you a Primordial Beast?"
"You can say so." The Centaur Mother walked aimlessly and replied to Su Chen in a very casual tone.
"Then where do you plan to go now?"
The Centaur Mother continued walking without looking back. "I don't know. I've lived for too long and my brain has degenerated. I've forgotten a lot of things in the past. Maybe I should go look for some memories."
"Then are you willing to come with me?
I know a lot of people and have been to many places. Maybe I can help you. "
Hearing Su Chen's words, the Centaur Mother stopped and looked back, only to find that Su Chen was sitting on her back. She was a little angry, but she forgot what it was like to be angry. Her eyes were still as confused as ever.
"Why do you want to help me?"
"Because you helped me protect the Heavenly Dao Divine Pattern. That's a good enough reason."
The Centaur Mother thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I can go with you."
So easy to talk to?
What a muddle-headed Centaur Mom.
Su Chen suddenly had an even bolder idea. "It just so happens that I'm lacking a mount that can match my status. Why don't you just become my mount? Not only will I help you find your past memories, I can also give you everything you want."
"I don't have anything that I want, and I don't like to carry other people around."
Cough cough, it seems that this woman still has a bottom line.
However, Su Chen did not give up. He said, "It's impossible for a person to not have something they want in life. You definitely have it. It's just that you might have forgotten it now. However, as long as you become my mount, sooner or later, you will know what you want."
"Is that so?"
The Centaur Lady's eyes softened a little. She seemed to be moved by Su Chen's words.
After a moment of silence, the Centaur Lady said, "Alright, I can be your mount, but you have to win. You can't abandon me. Although I have forgotten a lot, I vaguely remember that it doesn't feel good to be abandoned. I hate this feeling."
It seems that this Centaur Lady has a story.
Su Chen stroked her soft hair and said, "I will never abandon anyone, unless I die."
"Yes, master."
'Ding! Congratulations to host for subduing the Centaur Lady. You have received a new title,' Rainbow Lord '.'
'Rainbow Lord?'
At the moment when the Centaur Lady recognized Lin Fan as her master, a single horn that emitted a dazzling rainbow light grew out of her forehead.
'So … this is a unicorn?'
"Check the mount's attributes."
"Rainbow Horse: After Pan Gu created the world, the first rainbow that was born in the Hongmeng universe. It absorbed the power of the universe to breed a unicorn. It is a rare fantasy beast species among the Hongmeng beasts. It has an immortal body, but its will is weak. It can be easily defeated and will not recover. Only the wisest and kindest master can control it."
So it was a fantasy beast species among the Hongmeng beasts.
Su Chen had read in an ancient book that among the Hongmeng beasts, there were three unknown fantasy beasts. They did not have a physical body, but they had an immortal lifespan. They walked in the vast and boundless universe, and wherever they went, they would bring good fortune to all living things.
Fantasy beasts were the highest level of auspiciousness!
'Good fellow, I picked up a treasure just by fooling around.'
Su Chen stroked the Rainbow Horse's head, "Master will definitely take good care of you. Now, come with me."
Half a day later.
Black Region Tomb, northern border, Evernight invasion.
An army of demon skeletons was gathered here. There were at least 50 billion skeletons, and they were preparing to enter Evernight to investigate.
"No, Evernight is too strong. We will only be throwing our lives away if we go in."
"More and more skeletons are being infected. If this continues, we will be wiped out."
"Don't retreat. Everyone, charge. Even if we are wiped out, we must enter Evernight and investigate its source!"
An incomparably large golden skeleton appeared. He held a golden longsword in his hand and swept through everything in his path, cutting all the deserters into pieces. The remaining skeletons no longer dared to run and could only charge madly into Evernight.
Most of them turned to ashes as soon as they entered Evernight.
The small number that survived were quickly infected by the Ash Law and became Dark Demons. They attacked their companions around them.
At least a small number of skeletons managed to survive and charged madly into the depths of Evernight.
Not far away, Su Chen was secretly observing all of this.
"Interesting. The Law of Ashes is not effective on all demons. Those skeleton soldiers that are not infected by the Law of Ashes are very valuable for research. Who knows, we might be able to find the key to countering the Law of Ashes."
Su Chen's figure flashed and entered Evernight. He silently caught a few unaffected skeletons and handed them to Diandian for analysis.
"Strange, the direction these skeletons are running in seems to be the same as the source code's coordinates."
Su Chen sensed that something was amiss. He left Evernight in a flash and appeared on the head of the giant golden skeleton general. He used the law of time to imprison it. At the same time, he penetrated its skull and entered its head to read its soul memories.
So that's how it is.
Searching for the source of Evernight was fake. The skeletons' real goal was to find a treasure in Evernight.
Due to the sudden eruption of Evernight, this treasure was revealed from the darkness. This was a treasure discovered by the golden skeleton king a long time ago. He was now willing to sacrifice many of his subordinates to take it away as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be difficult to obtain the treasure if Evernight were to expand further.
"This treasure is most likely the source code."
A large number of skeletons were still rushing to their deaths. These skeletons also had souls, so there was no time for them to disperse.
Su Chen summoned the Demonic Emperor's Scepter.
"It's a waste to leave so many lives and souls unattended. I can use them to replenish the Demonic Emperor's Scepter's energy and allow me to open the Heavenly Court sooner."
