*Roooar…* The roar grew increasingly loud and terrifying, sending ripples through the starry void.

At this very moment, the entire Demon Court quaked.

On the Celestial Realm, Saturn, Mars… one powerhouse after another from various planets raised their eyes, gazing at the beautiful cerulean planet floating in the stars.

At this moment, the entire Earth was shrouded in dark clouds.

And beneath the endless curtain of darkness, a massive Azure Dragon had coiled around the planet itself.

Only its colossal head, as large as a mountain, slowly descended, as though a God were gazing down upon all creation.

“So this is the Eternal Dragon?” A Tier-4 gasped in astonishment, staring at the Azure Dragon blazing fire in his eyes.

It was the same as before, terrifying and awe-inspiring.

Its form alone was enough to leave the world shaken.

And now, a mere Tier-3 was about to make a wish before such a supreme being.

“Don’t talk about if the wish can be really fulfilled or not… if I can just get a drop of Dragon Blood, I might have a chance to break through to Tier-5…” Muttered a Tier-4 in a voice laced with excitement, unable to hide the greed.

And it was not just him, many other powerhouses of the Demon Court were having the same thought.

However, compared to them, the high-ranking figures of the Demon Court, such as the Empress, Nine Tails, and even Golden Monkey, remained calm.

Having some knowledge of the hidden truths, they understood far better than others just how terrifying the Summon the Eternal Dragon truly was, for the Eternal Dragon’s act of wish-granting was close to omnipotent.

However, they could not participate.

The Summon the Eternal Dragon involved too much Karma. One misstep, and even beings as powerful as they were might find themselves ensnared.

Moreover, their Master had given them clear instruction beforehand.

So, observing silently was all they could do.

“I’m quite looking forward to what kind of prodigy this Summon the Eternal Dragon will create…” WIth a soft chuckle, Nine Tails voiced her curiosity.

“You’re certain this wishmaker will definitely wish for power?” As he spoke, Golden Monkey changed the topic slightly, a teasing note in his voice, “Maybe they’ll wish for eternal youth… or to turn back time.”

Hearing Golden Monkey’s words, Ling Er stated with a slight smile, “If it were any other time, maybe. But this is the first Summoning, and Snake Queen would never allow the summoner to ask for such frivolous things.”

“In other words, Snake Queen will guide the summoner to make a wish so shocking that it will shake the world?” Responded Golden Monkey, his eyes flickering in contemplation.

“Yes.” Smiling, Nine Tails nodded in agreement and added, “That is the very reason Snake Queen exists… to further amplify the Eternal Dragon’s influence, and make more people pursue it…”

…

Meanwhile, on Earth, on the summit of Mount Everest, Shea raised her gaze and quietly stared at the enormous Azure Dragon’s head reaching down from the cosmos.

Vast and terrifying.

With each swaying motion of its whiskers, it was as though the starry river reversed its flow.

Its profound Draconic Eyes sparkled faintly with starlight.

This massive Azure Dragon’s body appeared semi-transparent, almost as if it were formed from the starry skies themselves.

It was empty, boundless, and utterly awe-inspiring…

“State your wish…” A vast and majestic voice echoed from the high above, spreading in all directions.

In that moment, it felt as though the entire Solar System could hear the voice of Azure Dragon.

*Gulp…* One after another, people swallowed nervously, and countless gazes unconsciously focused on the short-haired, dark-eyed girl standing silently atop the summit of Mount Everest.

Everyone could not help but wonder, [Why… Why her? What virtue or ability did she possess to converse with such a sacred and terrifying being?]

…

And just as Azure Dragon rose into the sky, far away in the Starry Sky, a lone figure suddenly paused.

“This feeling…” Murmuring, Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness suddenly shifted.

The next moment, a familiar starry expanse, a familiar galaxy entered his sight, along with that all-too-familiar blue planet.

And on that beautiful cerulean planet stood a short-haired, dark-eyed girl, looking utterly ordinary, quietly standing still.

And this ordinary-looking girl drew Yu Zi Yu’s full attention, for coiled around her were countless threads of Karma.

These threads of Karma, in Yu Zi Yu’s vision, were almost tangible, clearly visible.

More importantly, these karmic threads bound Yu Zi Yu’s Azure Dragon Form, holding it fast, as if they were shackles.

“So this is the power of the Human Dao…” murmured Yu Zi Yu, as realization dawned upon him. [The Eternal Dragon has been summoned, and this girl must be the first summoner.]

[Interesting…] Smiling in his heart, Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but feel curious about the kind of wish this girl would make.

Maybe it was just an illusion or something else, but at this very moment, Yu Zi Yu felt almost omnipotent.

A feeling of total control welled up from within.

He felt like he had become the Heavenly Dao of the universe, ruler of all things. If he wanted, he could flip the galaxies, turn back space and time. He could do anything and everything, yet

He could flip the galaxies, turn back space and time.

He was capable of all things, and yet, not without limits.

However, this state was temporary, because its sole purpose was to fulfill the girl’s wish.

He was using the power of Human Dao to steal the power of the Heavenly Dao.

And this girl was the catalyst.

Not only that, if there were some Supreme Overlord here, who had mastered the Principle of Balance, and if they looked closely, they might even see a golden, illusory scale gradually manifesting between the Azure Dragon and the girl.

And that was the so-called ‘Equivalent Exchange,’ the absolute Principle in the universe.

It was a Principle that all things in the universe must follow.

And Yu Zi Yu’s Azure Dragon Form was now bound by this very Principle.

…

“I…”

Suddenly, a mumble pulled Yu Zi Yu’s attention back to reality.

Following the voice, he saw that the girl beneath his gaze had begun to move her lips.

“I… I want to find a reason to live… I want to find the value of my existence.”

“A reason to live… the value of existence…” Slightly shaken, a trace of astonishment surfaced in the depths of Yu Zi Yu’s draconic eyes.

He had not expected her very first summoner to be this… unusual.

And yet, that was precisely what made it interesting.

Even someone as powerful as Yu Zi Yu could not foresee all things.

“Then let me see… why you were born.” With a soft chuckle, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze sharpened.

*Boooom…* With a thunderous rumble, the girl’s entire life replayed like a slideshow in Yu Zi Yu’s mind.

Since childhood, she had soaked in medicinal pools.

She grew up in a dark and dim room until she was eight.

Then came one experiment after another…

She was the product of experiments, the creation of a Family.

She was so hollow inside, that it seemed as if all vitality had been drained from her.

If it were not for Azure Dragon’s disintegration, which awakened her dominant personality, she might still be the lifeless puppet she once was.
