The Gourd Vine, like the Fusang Tree, gradually began to transform into a Fire Vine, absorbing Solar True Fire as nourishment for its growth.
Thus, after an unknown period, the Gourd Vine that Lin Yang had transformed into had fully adapted to growing within the Star Core.
The slightly fiery-red vines now grew everywhere within the Star Core, continuously exhaling and inhaling Solar True Fire.
It was just like the Fusang Tree. If Lin Yang wished, he could also, like the Fusang Tree, merge himself with the Sun Star.
That way, as long as the Sun Star remained, Lin Yang would also remain.
Of course, such a result, lacking freedom, was not what Lin Yang desired.
At the same time, another Gourd grew on the Gourd Vine.
This Gourd was entirely fiery-red, named the sun gourd, or perhaps it was a Solar True Fire Gourd.
Within the Gourd, a large amount of Solar True Fire was stored, which could be used as an attack method.
And it was at this moment that the System's voice reminded him, startling Lin Yang awake from his slumber.
"Ding, the Divine Grade Choice System has issued a mission: Kong Xuan and Dapeng have been born. The Host can go and take them as Disciples."
"Choice One: Accept the mission, and receive one portion of Five Elements Origin and one portion of Yin and Yang Origin."
"Choice Two: Reject the mission, and receive two drops of pangu essence blood."
"So simple?" Lin Yang was slightly stunned upon hearing the two choices, then decisively chose the second.
Two drops of pangu essence blood! Not choosing this would truly be foolish.
As for Kong Xuan and Dapeng, let them fend for themselves.
Lin Yang had never thought of taking the two as Disciples.
After all, wasn't being single good?
From the beginning of creation until now, he had been single, not knowing how comfortable it was.
For example, in this Sun Star Core, he slept for an unknown period.
How comfortable!
If he took Disciples, he would have to manage them, teach them, and save them when they encountered danger.
That would require a great deal of effort.
Lin Yang had no intention of dealing with such trouble.
As Lin Yang made his choice, two drops of pangu essence blood immediately appeared within the Star Core.
Lin Yang shivered all over, and the enormous Gourd Vine instantly transformed into human form.
Looking at the two drops of pangu essence blood, Lin Yang pondered for a moment and then had an idea.
"It's decided, it's you two, Ru Shou and Gou Mang!"
The templates Lin Yang chose this time were Ru Shou, the Ancestral Witch of Metal, and Gou Mang, the Ancestral Witch of Wood.
He planned to first gather these five Ancestral Witches of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
After the two drops of pangu essence blood began to gestate, Lin Yang threw them into the Star Core.
He left Pan Xuan and Pan Huang to watch over them.
As for him, he left the Sun Star and headed towards the Taiyin Star.
Having stayed on the Sun Star for so long, he was a bit tired of it and decided to check out the Taiyin Star.
On the Taiyin Star, there was also a Spiritual Root—the Moon Laurel Tree.
This was a Spiritual Root with Yin and cold attributes, growing by absorbing the Taiyin Qi from the Taiyin Star.
Lin Yang also entered the Star Core, lay down, and gradually fell into slumber again.
Time flowed by.
Another few millennia passed in a blink.
On this day, Lin Yang awoke to find that he had finally Broken Through to Quasi-Saint Perfection, and at the same time, another pure white Gourd had grown.
This was the taiyin gourd, and within the Gourd, Taiyin Qi was stored.
Releasing a wisp could freeze thousands of miles, which was astonishing.
The System's prompt sounded again: "Ding, Divine Grade Choice System mission issued: Houtu is about to transform into Reincarnation. Please, Host, go and help her attain the Dao and become a Celestial Venerable Da Luo."
"Choice One: Accept the mission, and receive the top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure book of life and death and judge's pen."
"Choice Two: Reject the mission, and receive the top-grade Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum."
"What the heck!"
Poor Lin Yang, with his limited cultural knowledge, could only exclaim these two words to describe his feelings.
He had endured for so long, and he was still only Quasi-Saint Perfection.
Now the System tells him that Houtu can attain the Dao and become a Celestial Venerable Da Luo?
Are you being fair to me?
Lin Yang pondered that these two choices were a bit difficult to make.
If he chose one, not to mention the great risk, he was almost caught by Hongjun last time.
If he appeared again this time, he might truly not be able to leave.
Therefore, if he chose one, it would definitely be an Incarnation that went.
But—
Help Houtu attain the Dao.
How could he help?
He hadn't even figured out how to attain the Dao himself, and he was supposed to help someone else figure it out?
There were ways for Houtu to attain the Dao, for example, as written in later novels, Houtu could swear an oath to the Grand Dao.
Once the Grand Dao oath was sworn, the Grand Dao would respond, directly replacing the original Heavenly Dao Karma with Grand Dao Karma.
It would be very simple for Houtu to attain the Celestial Venerable Da Luo.
However, Lin Yang didn't know if this method was truly reliable. If it wasn't, then it would be awkward.
At that time, not only would the Grand Dao not respond, but perhaps Heavenly Punishment would also descend.
Heavenly Dao: You dare to establish Reincarnation, bypassing me and reporting directly to my superior.
What are you trying to do?
Are you trying to rebel?
If a bolt of heavenly lightning struck, that would be no joke.
So, System, if you want me to accept the mission, you should at least tell me how to help, right?
"Ding, it has been detected that there is a loophole in the mission issued by the System. It is now being supplemented."
"The Host can help Houtu attain the Dao through the following methods: One, the System will provide one portion of pangu primordial spirit for Houtu to fuse with.
Note: This pangu primordial spirit is a mission item and cannot be used by the Host without authorization.
Two, after Houtu fuses with the pangu primordial spirit, the Host can have Houtu swear an oath to the Grand Dao when she transforms into Reincarnation.
This oath will receive a 100% response from the Grand Dao; the Host need not worry.
Three, after Houtu transforms into Reincarnation, the Host can have Houtu use pangu essence blood to reshape her Physical Body and attain the Dao with Grand Dao Karma.
This pangu essence blood will be provided by the System, also as a mission item, and cannot be used by the Host."
Lin Yang listened blankly to the System's supplement, completely dumbfounded, and weakly asked the System, "System, tell me, am I not your Host, but Houtu is, right?"
"Right?"
"Right?"
"Otherwise, why are you closer to her than to me?"
Lin Yang was in tears. This pangu primordial spirit + pangu essence blood, everything was arranged.
It was a direct one-stop service for Celestial Venerable Da Luo Dao attainment.
Houtu, like this, was definitely treated like the protagonist!
Could it be that the System saw him as too lazy and was planning to change Hosts?
Lin Yang sighed. As expected, time reveals true intentions. Even the System was about to betray him.
"Host, please don't overthink it. This mission, do you accept it or not? If not, you can refuse."
The System interrupted Lin Yang's fantasy.
Lin Yang gave an awkward smile, "Ahem, accept. How can I not accept this? You've already arranged everything."
"I've never heard you talk so much before."
Lin Yang chose to accept the mission.
Leaving aside whether the System was changing allegiance or not, he still admired Houtu, this woman.
After all, Houtu was an Ancestral Witch, and once she transformed into Reincarnation, it meant complete annihilation of both body and spirit.
Yet Houtu, knowing this, still chose to do so.
This showed that her heart truly embraced all living beings!
Therefore, Lin Yang was very willing to facilitate this matter, allowing Houtu to attain the Dao and become a Celestial Venerable Da Luo.
Only four chapters today, sorry, sorry, can't burst out more. Good night, everyone.
