As the contract was established, the demon dragon immediately felt streams of warm energy flowing into its body, nourishing its demonic core.
At the same time, the injuries inside his body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ten thousand years ago, during the ancient war, it was forced to flee, but unexpectedly, it suffered another setback, not only losing all its strength but also being sealed in this dark and sunless place.
The orb of light was constantly and gradually consuming the magic power within him, but rather than consuming it, it was more like purifying it...
This has diminished much of his hostility over the years.
Otherwise, the moment he thought he had broken through the seal and been reborn, the demonic dragon would have already killed Zero, and he wouldn't have had a chance to negotiate with him!
However... he didn't expect the power of the contract to be so amazing!
Its body trembled slightly, its face filled with disbelief. It never imagined that it would regain its strength in this lifetime!
Its current strength is several times greater than before. If it could only exert 10% of its strength before, it can now reach about 70%.
This filled it with ecstasy, making it unable to contain its excitement.
And all of this is thanks to this human boy in front of us!
If the dragon initially formed a contract with Zero out of desperation, it has now completely submitted to Zero and will no longer resist.
This is something to be happy about; it means it can finally be free...
The contract has been established, and the seal on the dragon's body has naturally disappeared.
The dragon's fear gradually disappeared, replaced by relief and excitement.
The dragon transformed into a burly, imposing man.
"Hahaha...I'm finally free! Hahahaha—"
The dragon roared to the sky, a look of unbridled joy on its face, and the whole world seemed to tremble.
He clasped his hands in front of his chest, performed an ancient salute towards Zero, and respectfully said:
"I, the Demon Dragon, thank you, Master! I swear to follow you to the death."
"Um."
Zero nodded and said to the demonic dragon:
“You will gain more by following me. From now on, we will no longer be master and servant, but partners. I will need your help a lot in the future, so please take good care of me.”
Upon hearing this, the dragon readily agreed, a hint of anticipation on its face.
"By the way, Demon Dragon, you've been here for many years. Could you tell me about the situation in the secret passages?"
Zero asked.
"A secret passage? This..."
The dragon hesitated for a moment.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Zero asked.
"No, it's just that I've been sealed here for many years, and I don't know the specifics. I only know that there is an extremely dangerous place deep inside the secret passage."
The dragon quickly waved his hand and explained.
Hearing the dragon say this, Zero didn't press the matter, after all, the dragon had been sealed here for many years and couldn't possibly know more.
So he said to the dragon:
"In that case, you should go back to the contract space and rest! You've been here for so long, you must be exhausted. Take a few days to rest!"
“Master… I’m fine. I want to stay outside and see the world…”
The dragon hesitated.
After a moment's thought, he slowly said:
"Well, that's fine. It'll be nice to see the outside world. But... you can't easily reveal your true form. If you agree, I'll let you stay outside."
He hadn't forgotten the enormous size of the dragon; once it appeared, it would definitely attract a lot of attention and even cause panic.
Zero dared not take that risk, so it was best to explain things clearly to the dragon.
"I agree!"
The dragon nodded in agreement.
As long as I can stay outside and see the world, what does it matter if I am not the original body?
Anyway, magical beasts with this kind of bloodline can directly transform into human form, and in the eyes of the human world, he is just a person.
Seeing that the dragon agreed, Zero tacitly approved of his actions and allowed him to follow behind her.
Indeed, adhering to the principle of "why not come if you're going to waste," Zero decided to continue exploring the secret passage.
"Grandpa Tuling, is this still useful?"
Zero pointed to the original ball of light, which had been reduced to fragments due to the seal's failure, and asked the earth spirit within the space.
"This one!"
Tu Ling looked at it carefully, then replied:
"Although the surface is broken, some light-elemental spiritual energy remains inside. You can absorb it. This might even awaken your light element."
The seemingly ordinary words startled Zero.
I asked subconsciously:
"Can I awaken light-based spiritual power using this? No, can I awaken other spiritual powers?"
However, after asking the question, Zero already had the answer in his heart.
This must be because he possesses the body of all spirits.
Sure enough, upon hearing Zero's question, Tu Ling replied with four words without hesitation:
"The Body of All Spirits".
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Zero nodded and began to absorb the power of the light sphere.
As Tu Ling had said before, as long as it is first placed in the sea of consciousness and then wrapped with divine sense, it can be absorbed.
As the absorption began, the power of the light sphere grew increasingly concentrated and gradually began to merge into Zero's sea of consciousness.
In an instant, his sea of consciousness was filled with countless golden stars.
The densely packed stars resembled the stars in the sky, and each star emitted a soft light, giving people a sense of intimacy.
At the very core of the sea of consciousness, there is a planet emitting a pale golden light.
This planet was the light sphere whose power he had absorbed most of. It was the light sphere that merged into his sea of consciousness, causing the stars in his sea of consciousness to emit a soft light.
"This is the element of light? It's so powerful!"
Zero couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"But... why is there a ball in my mind's eye?"
Zero couldn't help but ask.
"What!? A ball of light? You mean..."
Tu Ling was immediately extremely excited.
"A sphere appeared in my sea of consciousness! How is this possible?! How is this possible?!"
Tu Ling's voice became extremely high-pitched, revealing his inner surprise and fervor.
“Zero, I must say, you are really lucky… This is the most special point of the light system—among the two special attributes of light and darkness, unlike the ordinary five elements, when awakening this type of spiritual power, there is a one in a million chance that two spiritual orbs will be generated in the sea of consciousness, with the light system becoming ‘Golden Sun’ and the darkness system becoming ‘Dark Moon’.”
"These two spirit orbs represent light and darkness respectively, and the orb in your sea of consciousness represents the 'Golden Sun' of the light element. Possessing a spirit orb will increase the speed of cultivating light-elemental spiritual power tenfold, and you can switch the five elements of spiritual power within your body at any time! Zero, you are really lucky."
Tu Ling's tone was full of envy, and also a little jealousy.
