Su Ping visits a secluded manor belonging to the Dong family in Shuhua City. He meets with the Mirror Ancestor, who reveals that Su Ping's possession of the Dragon Mark is widely known. The Mirror Ancestor offers the Dong family's support if Su Ping decides to compete for a high position within the Dragon Nation, a prospect Su Ping claims not to be interested in.

The Mirror of Reflecting Heavens was interrupted by Su Ping before it could finish speaking:

"Senior, this time I am here only for the Spatial Transfer Facility. I hold your help dear to my heart, and if there’s anything you need from me, feel free to ask. But please, let’s not talk this much in the future."

"Su Ping..."

The figure in the Mirror of Reflecting Heavens blinked, opened its mouth, and then slowly sighed:

"Kid, with your personality, if you truly get involved in this, you will suffer! Sometimes, just having talent and ability isn’t enough to subdue all evil beings. Even that Legendary Lord sometimes has many..."

Hearing the familiar reference, Su Ping smiled slightly:

"Senior, who can really predict the future?"

The Mirror Ancestor ’blinked,’ appearing to not fully understand Su Ping’s meaning,

The latter then continued:

"Regarding the position you mentioned, I am not inherently interested. I don’t know what Legend of the Holy Dragon does daily, nor do I understand what challenges such a powerful figure faces,

But I believe that if I become stronger just for these things, reaching Legendary Level might be sufficient, but if it’s only for this, it may be challenging for me to advance further in the future.

If possible, I hope to put more effort into things I find meaningful instead of wasting time and energy on these matters."

Advance further?

The pink-haired two-dimensional loli girl in the Mirror of Reflecting Heavens was stunned, staring blankly at Su Ping.

Even after Su Ping took away those mirror-shaped space teleportation tools, and mechanically explained their usage to him, for ten minutes after he left, the Mirror Ancestor couldn’t recover from the impact of that statement.

Until the teleportation door was pushed open by another figure.

The Family Head Dong Lingxuan from the Dong Family walked in.

"Mirror Ancestor, what did Su Ping say?"

Dong Lingxuan looked nervously at the Mirror Ancestor.

Only then did the latter come back to its senses, looking at Dong Lingxuan, and then shaking its head:

"He essentially refused my help and the Dong Family’s investment."

Dong Lingxuan frowned:

"Does he not value the Dong Family’s power or your strength? Or..."

"No, I didn’t even talk to him about these..."

The Mirror of Reflecting Heavens seemed somewhat lost as it shook its head:

"He said he’s not interested."

With eyebrows suddenly furrowing on his aged face, Dong Lingxuan looked unsure whether to feel angry or disappointed:

"He was contacted with the Dragon Gate Seal, how could he not get involved in such a dispute? I’ve always said his temperament is too mild and calm, not someone who would achieve great things! Indeed, he’s not worth planning with!"

"Not worth planning with..."

The Mirror of Reflecting Heavens slightly repeated this phrase but didn’t say more, instead falling into silence.

The spirit and awareness in its soul seemed to still reflect the image and words of the youth from just now.

After taking a few deep breaths, Dong Lingxuan looked at the ancestor, seemingly lost in thought, and said:

"Ancestor, what should we do now? Your matter..."

To advance to Legendary Level is no simple task for the Mirror of Reflecting Heavens. Besides internal factors, external influences are significant too, and even if it does advance, it might attract too much attention in Dragon Nation if it doesn’t have clear support.

But now, with Su Ping not wanting to get involved in disputes, can it still break through to Legendary Level?

The pink-haired two-dimensional girl seemed not to hear, gently shaking her head:

"No problem..."

Dong Lingxuan raised his eyebrow, looking strangely at the Mirror Ancestor.

No problem?

Not even this is a problem?

As expected, the consciousness of the ancestor once again became unfocused.

What did that young man say to the ancestor earlier? Why is he so distracted?

After pondering for a bit, Dong Lingxuan finally asked:

"Ancestor, what exactly did Su Ping say to you?"

Once again coming back to his senses from his trance, the Mirror of Reflecting Heavens looked at Little Xuanzi, already not young anymore.

It still remembers, decades ago when it first saw Dong Lingxuan, he said he wanted the Dong Family to become the top of its kind and to break through to Legendary Level Beastmaster.

Later, when Dong Lingxuan was confirmed as the next Family Head, he said he wanted to revive the Dong Family.

Twenty years ago, in that cleansing of families,

Little Xuanzi, no longer young, sacrificed countless branches of the Dong Family, rivers of blood flowing but still retained the Fire Seed and the most important ancestor,

But after that day, this Little Xuanzi never spoke words like before.

And now, at over sixty, almost appearing eighty, this ’Little Xuanzi’ is still stuck at the peak of Emperor Level, lacking the drive to break through.

The Mirror of Reflecting Heavens remained silent, for the first time having an indescribable feeling with the lively and unreliable pink-haired two-dimensional girl before Su Ping.

But looking at Little Xuanzi’s curious gaze, ultimately, it slowly spoke:

"He said he wants godhood..."

...

Returning from Shuhua City, Su Ping didn’t rush to arrange these teleportation mirrors.

There’s no hurry for these.

With internal transportation built, it’s not urgently needed for now, and the future connections to West Dragon Lake, Heart of Earth, and other facilities aren’t yet established.

Having chatted with Dong Muyun along the way, indeed Queen Dong is keen on expanding commercial territory, relying on Su Ping’s reputation to expand Pingyun’s business nationwide.

In less than a year, Pingyun’s enterprise has surged at an unimaginable rate.

In addition, Su Ping’s Flame Heart No. 2 variant of the Magic Potion, handed over casually, is set to be launched nationwide if passed testing.

Moreover, unbeknownst to others, Su Ping is aware of the beginning of Artificial Mechanical Core.

This will drastically reduce the cost of Mechanical Cores soon.

From over a billion yuan before, it would drop tenfold, costing at most tens of millions, and eventually, as technology evolves, even a few hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands might create a Mechanical Core.

Holding such an advanced technology, the future launch of Heart of Dreams will become easy, with only Feifei’s activation cost as a limitation.

Discussing Pingyun’s future plans, Queen Dong showed renewed energy, with Pingyun further expanding. Once the national territory stabilizes, she might attempt to venture beyond Dragon Nation.

This is her value, especially as Su Ping’s shares increase in value, if she doesn’t put in enough effort, she might even feel guilt.

Su Ping himself is indifferent to these, thanks to Dong Muyun, he doesn’t need to worry about financial matters.

His urgency lies elsewhere for now.

Returning to the Heart of Myriad Spirits without using Jiao Long and instead driving back, the sky was slightly west-tilted by the time he returned.

Yet, upon reaching the Heart of Myriad Spirits, one of the most important news in recent days arrived.

The Monarchic Magneto-Gold mines were finally fully excavated, stretching only three kilometers with an estimated three thousand cubic meters of Monarchic Magneto-Gold, along with a seed from the mine itself.

These are part of Su Ping’s thoughts on Feifei’s evolution.

At the same time, preparation for the Super-Rank Skill Illusory Realization of Dragon City Jade Dreamland will also begin.

Su Ping was eager, unable to continue meditation tonight.

However, as he prepared to go all out, a call came through, with Yun Sheng’s voice transmitting from the other end:

"Su Ping, I’ll be arriving soon."
