I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Is Han Zhan’s secret numerous or not?

Without a doubt, he must have the most secrets among everyone present.

Why is that?

Because his soul belongs neither to the Ancient World nor to the Blue Star!

All memories of that former world can be considered Han Zhan’s secrets.

But Han Zhan couldn’t determine whether these secrets would have any effect on the Dragon Horse.

From the previous displays, it seemed the Dragon Horse would be affected by dream bubbles of consciousness, like burping after eating Calamity Beast Meat to the brim, smiling lewdly at gossip, or donning a mask of pain at math.

Based on this information, Han Zhan decided—to actively control his dream bubbles of consciousness!

From the very beginning in the woods, when he proposed one dream bubble per person, he had already begun this experiment.

When he deliberately thought of a secret in his mind, that secret would be selected to become a dream bubble, surfacing from his head.

Han Zhan planned to use this ability to actively control his dream bubbles to give Dragon Horse something entirely new.

Currently, in his mind, he possessed many documentary records of real-life learning, and several hundred literary works comparable to the Forbidden Book co-written with Li Lingzhen; of course, he didn’t intend for Dragon Horse to devour any of them.

Han Zhan worried that if Dragon Horse consumed these, it might cause a strange chain reaction.

Like imagining itself as a broodmare pinned to the ground—it was frightening even to think about.

To be cautious, Han Zhan decided to tell Dragon Horse a story.

A story about a dragon and a little girl.

With this decision made, Han Zhan took the last step forward, entering the range of the Dragon Horse’s breath.

The next second, he felt a prick of cool sensation around his brain.

Immediately after, Han Zhan’s consciousness began to turn chaotic.

In his sea of consciousness, countless invisible tentacles appeared, aiming to plunder the multitude of ”secrets” floating within the sea.

A sudden storm surged in Han Zhan’s sea of consciousness, enveloping all the secrets within its grasp.

Just as those invisible tentacles were about to spiral into a frenzy and unleash indiscriminate havoc, a golden, shimmering book was ’deliberately selected’ by Han Zhan from his consciousness.

The wicked tentacles, like bloodthirsty sharks following a scent, greedily wrapped around the golden book.

In the sea of consciousness, the more something had form, the more it proved its preciousness.

This book not only had the shape of a book but was also wrapped in a layer of golden light, showing how deeply impressed it was on this person.

For those invisible tentacles, such things were absolute delicacies, and the highest priority for plunder!

They quickly grabbed hold of this book, temporarily retreating from Han Zhan’s mind.

...

In the outside world,

The other five were unaware of what was happening in Han Zhan’s sea of consciousness.

From their perspective, Han Zhan, like them before, first fell into chaos, then dream bubbles of consciousness began to emerge continuously from his head.

However, the quantity of these dream bubbles seemed somewhat underwhelming, didn’t it?

Having seen the gradual escalation with Huo Lie, Tu Housheng, and Shang Siteng, they thought that as the grand finale, Han Zhan’s dream bubbles should be much larger and more numerous than Shang Siteng’s considerable amount.

”The number of these dream bubbles doesn’t seem to be more than Feng Ya and Shui Rou’s.” Even the mindless Huo Lie couldn’t help but speak up at this scene.

”Surely it won’t go wrong, right?”

”Could Lord Han Zhan really have so few secrets in his head? Impossible!”

The crowd discussed fervently.

Suddenly, the Dragon Horse, having absorbed only a small amount of Han Zhan’s dream bubbles, sharply increased the force of its breath!

Its two massive nostrils were like two wind tunnel testing institutes on the Nuwa Continent, sucking in the raging winds wildly.

In the heart of the island, numerous trees were uprooted by this reversed wind, rushing toward the Dragon Horse’s nostrils!

Rumble!

The ground trembled, and the previously curled-up Dragon Horse, its four horse legs fell to the ground, each making the earth tremble mightily.

As its four horse legs landed, the Dragon Horse shifted from a reclining to a standing position.

The instant it stood, a huge chasm cracked open in the center area, with a surge of black seawater pouring madly into the chasm.

The chasm grew larger, and its branching rifts expanded in all directions, threatening to tear the entire island apart in an instant.

In the face of such a sudden situation, fortunately, Shang Siteng and the others were prepared.

Shang Siteng pressed a button on the external chip on her neck, a transparent light film appeared beneath her feet, lifting her into the air.

Swift of eye and deft of hand, Shang Siteng caught Han Zhan just before he fell into the chasm’s abyss, retreating with him.

Seeing Shang Siteng’s actions, the others did the same, following the guidance of their external chips to activate their floaters.

From the Dragon Horse’s rise, to the island’s collapse, to the North Sea’s waters engulfing the place and turning it into a vast expanse of ocean.

This process, though complex in description, took only the blink of an eye.

Standing on the boundless North Sea, the Dragon Horse’s four horse legs seemed to possess a special ability, standing firm on the water without sinking.

As the surging black sea water washed over its four pillar-like horse legs.

The thick mane billowed freely in the wind, majestic and proud.

On its long neck, golden dragon scales shone with ever-brighter brilliance.

Most critically, its head, dormant for countless ages, was raised once again! Its heavy, mountain-like eyelids slowly, slowly opened!

The Dragon Horse had awakened!

Upon awakening, its first sight was of Han Zhan, Shang Siteng, and the others.

The Dragon Horse’s dragon eyes scanned the crowd and finally locked onto Han Zhan, who had just recently awoken.

It slowly lowered its head.

With this single movement, the clouds in the sky roiled in response, the surrounding sea level rose by several meters, and the mane on its back wildly danced.

”Was that book your dream bubble of consciousness?”

The Dragon Horse suddenly spoke.

Its voice carried a fourfold resonance, as if four people spoke simultaneously in your ears, both sacred and deep, both sonorous and ethereal.

Faced with the inquiry of a Tier Nine Peak Ancient Mythical Creature, Han Zhan nodded.

Suddenly, the Dragon Horse’s face twisted in a rather human-like way.

Immediately after, it opened its jaw wide, roaring as it vented its emotions.

The Dragon Horse’s roar stirred up gales and giant waves on the sea’s surface, merging into a million-meter-high tsunami, sweeping in torrents.

To escape the tsunami, they could only ascend to a safe position over a hundred meters above, hanging on in the gale with their floaters just to avoid the waves.

The tsunami rose just to the point below the Dragon Horse’s hooves.

”Why did you kill Hui Liyi?!”
