Opportunity to Enter Little Garden

Dragonkind…

The moment Bai Cangshu heard that term, he immediately thought of the vial of bloodline serum he had obtained earlier—the blood marrow of the King of Sky and Wind (Red).

The quality of this bloodline serum was extremely high, but it came with negative effects, so it had not received many offers.

Bai Cangshu had not traded it away yet.

But the other party had said they needed a dragonkind to complete a special mission, not that they wanted this Bloodline Item.

"So you mean you want me to drink this thing and then help you complete the mission?"

Bai Cangshu frowned. This was a little too demanding, and there were all sorts of unreasonable aspects to it.

Logically speaking, the more important and special a mission was, the less likely Reincarnators would be to involve outsiders. Especially someone like him, a "notorious" Reincarnator.

Cao Qi did not say anything further. He turned and gave a few instructions to Adam, the silver-haired Reincarnator behind him, then headed toward the other stalls in the Slum Area. He soon vanished from the public space.

It seemed that he had only come here to personally confirm whether Mercenary Tao had killed one of his members.

Adam’s expression remained unchanged. He had long grown accustomed to his boss’s unreliability and capriciousness. In truth, he managed the vast majority of Azure Sky’s affairs.

With a practiced wave, he dismissed Sen Xia and the others, leaving only Loman and the Professor behind. Azure Sky’s collective appearance seemed to have been solely for some insignificant "pomp."

But Adam, who understood his boss’s abilities, knew very well that even these seemingly casual trivialities and insignificant arrangements could very likely alter and affect the future timeline.

In his understanding, there was a strong possibility that his boss had done this because Mercenary Tao would undergo some kind of high-intensity battle in the future timeline.

Boss Cao Qi was using this method to let Mercenary Tao "get to know" Azure Sky’s members.

In other words, although Mercenary Tao did not seem powerful enough now, in Boss Cao Qi’s eyes, he possessed the power to kill or save them in the future.

Fate, time, causality—these abilities were exceptionally strange and mysterious. Often, once matters and arrangements were spoken aloud, the abilities would fail.

Adam and the others had also grown accustomed to following Boss Cao Qi’s seemingly nonsensical arrangements.

Thus, even the most aloof Sen Xia had cooperated with this "collective appearance."

"Mercenary Tao, we cannot disclose the details of this mission at present, but your guess is correct. We hope you will personally cooperate with us on this mission as a dragonkind."

"Of course, we will offer sufficient compensation."

Adam spoke calmly, with a smile on his face. Azure Sky was qualified to conduct such negotiations. For a top-tier gathering with so few members, the resources at their disposal were probably terrifyingly abundant.

PR334587XX (Professor) sent a communication: We want to open the entrance to the Little Garden World. You should know what that represents.

The Professor did not speak. He merely coughed, then revealed some background information about the mission’s world through spatial communication, successfully piquing Bai Cangshu’s interest.

Little Garden—a special world whose power level stood at the pinnacle of most worlds, capable of accommodating the creators of worlds and the rulers of gods and Buddhas alike.

It was a terrifying world where gods and Buddhas truly walked the earth, Saviors and Demon Kings competed on the same stage, and the strongest members of every race manifested at once.

At the same time, it was a world that possessed nearly every top-tier power inheritance and avenue of contention.

As long as one could win the Gift Games unique to that world, one would have a chance to obtain powers, authorities, and blessings that ordinary beings could never gain in a lifetime.

It was a world where one could truly ascend to the heavens in a single step.

Bai Cangshu subconsciously licked his lips, unable to conceal the greed in his eyes. Adam was not surprised. This was the outcome they had anticipated long ago.

Having Mercenary Tao personally use the King of Sky and Wind’s blood marrow to obtain a bloodline that met the minimum requirements of dragonkind was, on one hand, because his prophecies showed that if other Reincarnators used this item, there was over a ninety percent chance they would die after being taken over.

Yet Mercenary Tao seemed to possess an unusual resistance to bloodlines involving soul possession.

He had run hundreds of deductions and predictions. Without exception, Mercenary Tao had successfully controlled the bloodline every time. The Dragon King’s will had never once succeeded in possessing him.

On the other hand, it was because the Reincarnator cooperating on this mission would also enjoy its greatest benefit—following Azure Sky’s Reincarnators into Little Garden!

For some worlds of exceptionally high intensity, the space would almost never conduct regular deployments.

One could only find ways to enter through special means and missions.

And for a world on Little Garden’s level, even a top-tier Reincarnator like him rarely had the chance to enter.

If such an opportunity were publicly sold and bid on in the Slum Area, it would definitely be an ultra-rare reward exceeding even an S-rank Singularity.

Adam and the Professor both believed this was a bargaining chip Mercenary Tao would find difficult to refuse.

Sure enough, after receiving the Professor’s message, Mercenary Tao did not refuse them. He merely asked,

"When?"

Adam nodded.

"After the next spatial title selection tournament. One of us will obtain the title of Star Spirit."

Bai Cangshu did not respond to either of them further. His mind rapidly calculated. Since they had mentioned dragonkind and now said someone among them would receive the title of Star Spirit…

Based on the setting of the Little Garden World, this special mission most likely required Reincarnators of the three strongest species to participate at the same time.

Star Spirit, Born God, and… dragonkind.

It could also be inferred that someone among Azure Sky had already obtained the bloodline or title of a Born God.

Ha~

Bai Cangshu had even greater expectations for the abilities of these top-tier Reincarnators, and the smile on his face grew increasingly brilliant.

He turned and put away the Red Quality bloodline, no longer displaying it for sale at his stall.

"Professor, I hope you won’t regret this decision~"

The Professor frowned. As always, Mercenary Tao exuded that unsettling aggression. Getting along with someone like this would probably never allow for the same heartfelt connection he had with Azure Sky’s members, or with Elizabeth and Liu Qi.

Adam merely smiled at Mercenary Tao’s words, then turned and left with the Professor.

Before leaving, Adam deliberately stopped and said,

"Mercenary Tao, be careful. I can see that you’re headed for a bloody calamity. You’d better strengthen yourself as soon as possible."

He smiled and waved, his body flashing with light before he left the public space.

His words gave the other Reincarnators who had heard them strange expressions.

They could not tell whether Azure Sky was threatening Mercenary Tao or offering him a kind reminder.

Bai Cangshu did not care. He simply laid item after item out on his stall.

"Come on, come on! Fresh Cleaner Scarlet Drop Cards, from the White Sanctuary! You can designate what drop to draw—make your offers!"

Mercenary Tao smiled as usual, as though he were selling vegetables.
