If I still didn’t understand such an obvious hint, then I really would be an idiot! Besides, with such a beauty, in such a romantic setting, if I didn’t react, I wouldn’t be a man!

With a sudden roar, I stood up, only to realize I wasn’t wearing a stitch of clothing. But at this moment, clothes would only get in the way. With a tiger’s roar, I shouted, “Evan Grant, I’m coming!” With that, I leapt onto the bed…

Chapter 003: Mountain-Piercing Force

The next morning when I woke up, I could still faintly hear Evan Grant’s gentle moans echoing in my ears, and that lingering fragrance, making me obsessed…

Sitting up, I was surprised to find that the wound on my right hand had completely disappeared. Both my hands were as smooth and white as jade. I understood—this must be the first sign of Evan Grant’s transformation taking effect.

Outside the window, the sound of the tide was the same as ever, but I felt a freshness I had never experienced before. The words “keen hearing and sharp sight” were no longer enough to describe it; I could even clearly sense the life force drifting between heaven and earth.

Taking a deep breath, I stretched lazily and glanced at the still-sleeping know-it-all beside me, unable to hold back a smile. The old guy’s sleeping posture was truly unique—gritting his teeth, farting, and snoring, he did it all. His mouth moved slightly, occasionally muttering in his sleep. Apparently, he hadn’t talked enough during the day and wasn’t about to miss the chance at night either.

Through the small window, I saw the bright moon about to sink into the sea, and a strange feeling quietly rose from deep within my heart.

I had thought that coming to Chila Cape meant the end of my life. But unexpectedly, a series of bizarre encounters had suddenly brought my once-dead heart back to life. In just one day, I was reborn, transformed. From now on, my life would be closely tied to the legendary goddess of creation, Evan Grant. So, what other strange and wonderful things might happen to me?

From Evan Grant, I learned about the targets of the Nine Rainbow Divine Pill’s eight turns.

The first turn: the Demon Realm Lord, Morgan Earl. He died at exactly one hundred years old. As the leader of the demon race, Morgan Earl excelled in both light and dark magic, and was even more skilled in martial arts. In his lifetime, he was the top master on the Four Realms Power Ranking.

I once asked Evan Grant: Could I learn Morgan Earl’s ultimate skills?

Evan Grant’s answer disappointed me.

“Wind, the demon race was born from the wind demons of the underworld, and are innately endowed with elemental traits. All their combat techniques are tied to their constitution; every martial skill is created in harmony with their own elemental nature. Although you have been transformed by me and your constitution now surpasses all other races, until you find the elemental forces that make up this world, any exquisite technique will be powerless in your hands…”

At that time, Evan Grant’s expression carried a hint of apology, which made me feel tender toward her. To think she was once the goddess of creation who ruled this world, yet now she was parasitically attached to an ordinary, useless person like me—she had suffered enough. Elemental force? I’d never heard of it, but that didn’t matter to me. Even without elemental force, I would still protect my Evan Grant!

The second turn of the Nine Rainbow Divine Pill came from a Buddhist master, Ethan Dale. I was completely unfamiliar with this person. In fact, I hadn’t heard of any of the names Evan Grant told me. But according to Evan Grant, this Ethan Dale was the sect leader of the Buddhist order eight hundred years ago, and even the current holy temple priests of the Sifalin Continent are a branch of his disciples. By combining the five elements with Buddhist secret arts, Ethan Dale ushered in a new era of martial arts and magic, and for decades, no one could rival him. However, in the end, he could not resist temptation, took the Nine Rainbow Divine Pill in pursuit of immortality, and became the second victim of Evan Grant’s resentment.

The third turn’s target was the Grand Marshal of the Orc Empire, Nathan Rogers. Seven hundred years ago, this name—which sounded like a girl’s—shocked the entire world. With the blood of both the demon vampire clan and the orc wolf clan, Nathan Rogers rose from the lowest rank of beast soldier, survived countless brutal battles, and became the Grand Marshal commanding all the armies of the Orc Empire. It was from him that a new race was created for the Orc Empire: the vampire wolf clan. I don’t know what he went through, but I think he must have been a great soldier. Even my standard military posture might have come from him.

……

Evan Grant told me that the Divine Pill has eight turns, and I have experienced nine people. Those who died before me left behind their souls. The souls of these eight people are now in Evan Grant’s hands. I need enough time and strength to fuse their souls into my body, but that’s for the future. Before I master elemental force, I cannot use those souls at will.

I’m not anxious about this. I’m not a very ambitious person. My greatest dream used to be marrying my fiancée, having a bunch of kids, and living happily with my father in our small town. Now, the past is like smoke, but my heart still holds the same outlook as before.

But the last thing Evan Grant told me forced me to wake up from my fantasies.
