Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Mythical-Grade Time Emperor Zhulong Template! (Please Follow)

Reincarnation control, memory preservation, information sharing, omniscience.

Attribute inheritance, ability extraction, embodying three thousand rules in one, transcending planets and the universe.

Infinite reincarnation, thousands of autumns and endless years, immortality.

One insight after another emerged in the minds of Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue. *These realizations were so complex and intricate—deeply profound and difficult to comprehend, nearly impossible to fully master.*

At first, they could only grasp the surface meaning roughly.

But as the Rule Fragment Crystals kept merging into the Red Candle Dragon’s body, dissolving within its flesh, the template level of the Red Candle Dragon still stayed at SSS rank. The template upgrade had not completed yet, but its Talent and innate potential were steadily rising.

Three crystals, six, nine, eighteen, thirty-six...

The potential and Talent enhanced in the Red Candle Dragon were synced with Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue. Their growth was also categorized. The two of them advanced in time and reincarnation related potential and Talent.

As their potential and Talent improved, it was like the clouds parted and the sun shone through—all those mysterious, perplexing concepts suddenly became transparent and easy to understand.

Their understanding of time and reincarnation deepened as well.

Each realization dawned within their hearts.

"Buzzzzzz!"

The Red Candle Dragon’s body continued to grow, becoming even taller and more imposing, exuding an aura that grew more mysterious and more profound with each passing second.

It had only four claws, but each claw bore five toes.

As one Rule Fragment Crystal after another merged into its body, the Red Candle Dragon’s template upgrade reached its final stage, about to finish.

Nangong Siyao grabbed her soft, white little feet, then stuck them under Cheng Bingxi’s nose and giggled,

"Well? My feet don’t stink, right?"

Cheng Bingxi pushed her hand away, her face dark, and said, "You smell your own feet, or let Xiao Ye smell them—don’t make me do it! They don’t stink, but I’m still put off, okay?"

Nangong Siyao nodded, agreeing, then cocked her head and said, "Fine, I’ll let Xiao Ye have a sniff, maybe even shove them in his mouth. He’ll probably like it."

Liu Ya stared unblinkingly at the Red Candle Dragon, her attention completely focused on it, and said,

"Bingxi, can you control this Candle Dragon?"

Cheng Bingxi weighed her options for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I can’t control it. Even though it’s a Dragon Type, its bloodline level isn’t any lower than the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon."

Cheng Bingxi suddenly cried out, "Oh no, this is bad! Qingxue’s template is so damn powerful, Xiao Ye might end up favoring her more from now on and ignoring us. *What should I do?*"

Cheng Bingxi and Liu Ya both rolled their eyes at her, "Qingxue’s template is definitely mysterious, but we’re not weaker than her."

"Yeah, and don’t you forget, your template has nine lives. You can restore yourself to peak condition within a blink, plus, you can resurrect with a single drop of blood—though that takes a while to recover from."

"Everyone’s got their own strengths, Siyao. No need to put yourself down."

After getting scolded and correcting her thinking, Nangong Siyao nodded, "I got it."

Cheng Bingxi said, "Yeah, yeah, once Qingxue finishes her upgrade, let’s have her show off some time attribute badassery."

Liu Ya thought that was a good suggestion and gave a double thumbs up—with her feet.

In the center of the great grassland, above, the color of the Red Candle Dragon gradually darkened, turning blackish-red. Its body swelled tremendously, stretching thousands of meters across, coiled like a Primordial Giant Beast in midair, exuding an overwhelming aura.

All the Rule Fragment Crystals fused into the Black Red Candle Dragon’s body.

The biggest changes were inside its body—every aspect enhanced, evolved, and upgraded. On the microscopic level, genes, DNA, cells, and so on. On the macroscopic level, the limbs, bones, meridians, organs, mind—everything.

Template—a term from the Beast Girl era—was the manifestation of all these changes inside a living creature, involving every cell, every gene, every bit of DNA, every part; upgrading the template was like biological evolution—every part of the body elevated and improved.

[Template upgrade completed, activating Realm Preservation function]

Template Adjuster notification arrived.

Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue snapped out of their epiphany, *clearly aware of all sorts of new abilities shadowing them like echoes.*

Mu Qingxue was overjoyed, "Time attribute abilities go way beyond prophecy alone!"

Xiao Ye grinned blissfully, "Reincarnation attribute abilities really opened my eyes. Once Realm Preservation is done, I’ll check the info panel and take a close look at exactly what we’ve gained after the upgrade."

"Arrogant Little Girl, didn’t you say your realm was too low? Now your template is upgraded, you can break through a full tier of the Venerable Realm in a day. You’ll catch up to us in no time. Well? Happy now?"

Mu Qingxue beamed, "Of course I’m happy! I’ll catch you and then surpass you. Tables will turn, and I’ll be in charge!"

Xiao Ye snickered. *Go ahead and level up—as soon as you do, I get a feedback boost. Your realm will never top mine, and you’ll always be under me.*

He reached into the System’s inventory and took out a hundred Tier Nine Crystal Cores, a hundred Grandmaster Realm Crystal Cores, a hundred Great Grandmaster Realm Crystal Cores, and a hundred Venerable Realm Crystal Cores, scattering them around the Black Red Candle Dragon.

Xiao Ye had prepared these crystal cores ages ago. Lower-level cores were easy for him to acquire, given his status and realm.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! Empowered by Supreme Power, each crystal core merged straight into the Black Red Candle Dragon’s body, turning into the purest Energy Liquid, melting and getting absorbed non-stop by the dragon.

After a while, the Black Red Candle Dragon’s realm settled at Venerable Realm Tier Nine—the same as before, except now its aura was over ten times stronger than before.

[Template upgrade complete, Realm Preservation complete]

The Template Adjuster’s message arrived. This upgrade was now truly finished.

Xiao Ye opened the template info panel and checked out the Talent Skills introduced there.
