The sky hung low, lead-grey clouds like crumpled tin foil pressed heavily upon the Silent Mystery Realm's peak.

Mingxi stood like a green pine before the giant silver egg, her robes flapping loudly in the strong winds that tore through the valley.

Under her massive mental power output, the Pet Egg before her abruptly began to Float, and the patterns on its shell surface seemed to flow.

They were no longer static patterns, but transformed into billions of shimmering threads of light, as if each carried a completely different ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) trajectory of fate.

"No, it's still missing something!"

Mingxi's pupils contracted sharply.

At the very core where the threads of light intertwined, she successfully captured the main flowing pattern.

It was a hundred times thicker than the other light threads, dark gold mixed with inky chaos, like a giant python coiled at the source of destiny, forcing all tributaries to turn towards a negative end wherever it passed.

So, was this the reason for guiding the destiny blind box towards 'certain death'?

Her previous experience in modifying egg patterns was almost useless at this moment.

The egg pattern of this 'certain death' egg also possessed self-healing abilities. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

As soon as Mingxi's 'blade' of mental power touched the edge of the pattern, the inky chaos surged like a tide, instantly erasing the traces she left, and the recoil made her throat sweet, a mouthful of blood mist sprayed onto the protective barrier in front of her, blossoming into tiny red beads.

"Tsk, more stubborn than I imagined."

Although Mingxi didn't have time to wipe away the blood from the corner of her lips, her surprisingly bright eyes indicated her surging passion at this moment.

She no longer tried to rewrite it, but instead mobilized all her mental power, going against the flow along the root pattern's direction. This was like going against the flow in surging magma; every inch of progress was accompanied by the searing pain of mental power being burned—as if countless steel needles were simultaneously piercing her mental sea, veins bulged on her forehead, and her knuckles turned white from exertion.

Golden Ingot Eight all sensed her pain, and almost simultaneously, without being taught, silently channeled their respective mental powers to Mingxi through the Pet Space.

Helping their Beast Tamers in their own way.

"Found it!"

After Mingxi's desperate attempts, just before the pattern energy was about to reach its end, Mingxi was finally about to complete the final synchronized guidance correction.

Success or failure depended on this one move!

"Here goes!"

Mingxi let out a low cry, and her mental power carving knife shot out like an arrow from a bowstring, rushing along all the forks.

She didn't forcefully twist it, but rather used that subtle arc as a pivot, injecting the rules she had written—not to 'change', but to 'guide'.

"Inherit," allowing the violent energy in the root pattern to have an outlet;

"Turn," allowing the negative trajectory to slowly deviate along the forks;

"Life," the dark golden root pattern suddenly burst forth with brilliant light, and the inky chaos receded like a tide, revealing the hidden, golden glow like dawn breaking.

The entire process was as fast as lightning, yet as slow as passing a century.

A vast amount of mental power poured out like a torrent, her mental sea breached like a dam.

The silent and still Origin of Life and Destruction rotated soundlessly, safeguarding Mingxi.

"Buzz—!"

The Pet Egg vibrated violently again.

The surrounding Gravel resonated, Floating around the Pet Egg like a meteor ring.

The dark golden patterns spread like ripples, intertwining in mid-air to form a magnificent star map, and countless tiny light rains fell, brushing against Mingxi's cheeks, carrying a warm warmth.

The broken stones in the valley began to fall slowly, the strong winds returned to their normal trajectory, and the distorted light became straight again.

The originally chaotic and disordered patterns reorganized themselves.

In one second, it was completely new.

Sun, Moon, Star, Constellation, Mountain, Dragon, Flowery Bug, Ancestral Vessel, Algae, Fire, Grains of Rice, Axe, Fù (a ritual garment)!

It was actually the Twelve Imperial Symbols, symbolizing the cosmic order and the ultimate truth of civilization.

The other Beast Tamers watching were already stunned.

What did they see?

"She's..."

"She's changing the egg patterns with mental power? No, this is something a human can do!"

"Not 'is'! But she has already changed the egg patterns!"

Everyone seemed to see an invisible storm swirling around Mingxi; her mental power violently collided with chaotic energy, and the emanating fluctuations caused the entire valley space to slightly distort!

Vaguely, within this Silent Mystery Realm, they actually heard a symphony of chaotic roars and sacred praises echoing in their ears.

What exactly was going on?

How could someone forcibly change the rules of destiny?

Impossible!

How could this be!?

Edinburgh's face completely changed; he finally understood what Mingxi wanted to do, and a chill rushed from his feet to his head!

This woman simply couldn't be judged by common sense! She could actually change the attributes of the destiny blind box!

"Is she human?!"

Mingxi was deaf to the exclamations from outside.

All her focus, all her will, was poured into the astonishing gamble within that small space under her palm!

Her mental power was almost exhausted, so she squeezed her potential!

Her mental sea was throbbing with pain, so she used the Breathing Method to forcibly stabilize it.

Her nostrils, the corners of her mouth, even began to seep tiny streaks of blood, her body swayed precariously, but the will controlling the mental carving knife was terrifyingly steady!

"Boom!!!!"

An indescribable, vast, yet gentle and inclusive golden light suddenly burst forth from the Pet Egg.

Instantly dispelling all ominousness and dead silence!

On the eggshell, the originally dark and chaotic swirling patterns had completely disappeared, replaced by the complete, more complex, exquisite, sacred, and infinitely orderly and rational Twelve Imperial Symbols of Heaven and Earth!

Golden light flowed, and the Dao rhyme was born naturally!

"Successful?"

Mingxi leaned against Lan Yue, somewhat exhausted, her vision blurred from mental power overexertion, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

She could feel that the power of destiny attached to the Pet Egg before her had completely changed.

The blind box effect, originally pointing to destruction, had now transformed into the purest energy, slowly overflowing along the eggshell patterns, nourishing the surrounding land.

Mingxi looked up at the sky; the lead-grey clouds had, at some point, split open, and a beam of sunlight happened to fall on the egg, illuminating the silver base pattern and dark golden patterns like a living galaxy.

The next second, the light and patterns converged.

Two brilliant golden eggs, about the size of a basketball, formed.

Mingxi tilted her head.

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

(((ﾟДﾟ;)??

The Pet Egg 'hatched' two eggs? What is this? Egg begets egg, chicken begets chicken?

Have I, who once believed in science, finally gone and never returned?

"Crack!"

One of the golden eggs made a soft sound and slowly cracked open.

There was no terrifying death effect.

No earth-shattering energy burst.

Inside the cracked eggshell lay a mysterious plant intertwined with green and red.

"Huh?"

Mingxi was dumbfounded.

Egg begetting egg was already outrageous enough, egg begetting a plant could also be understood, but wasn't the destiny blind box only supposed to produce ethereal effects?

This plant was clearly a physical object!

"Master!!!"
