"I'll do whatever it takes to acquire the treasure. Just don't do anything reckless and foolish before I return." Yuan shook his head at the Primordial Phoenix's eagerness to go to war with the dragons.
"Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?" The Primordial Phoenix sneered.
She continued, "Ten years. If you haven't returned with the treasure by then, we will go there and get it ourselves."
'Ten years?' Yuan smiled inwardly after hearing this generous number. 'I only plan to stay in this world for another year at most. As if I need ten years!'
"Alright. Ten years." He agreed to her terms.
"Anyway, I will need some time to prepare before I head to the Divine Dragon Sanctuary. If I go there in my current state—with an incomplete Chaotic Heart, they will definitely suspect my identity."
The Primordial Phoenix narrowed her gaze on him, seemingly pondering something.
"Since you brought my daughter back to us, we will assist you in that regard," she suddenly said.
"Eh? Really?" Yuan wasn't expecting this at all and was pleasantly surprised.
"It's only a single Chaotic Heart, and it's your first, so it won't take much effort."
"Then I will take up on your offer," Yuan said.
"..."
"By the way, I have been meaning to ask you this, but how did Feng Feng—your daughter end up in the human world?"
"Are you seriously asking me that? Do you even know anything about the Primal Expanse? Are you really the Primal Monarch's son?" The Primordial Phoenix suddenly bombarded him with questions.
"Now that you mentioned it, I don't really know much about the Primal Expanse…" Yuan suddenly came to this realization.
Despite spending over a hundred years in the Primal Expanse, Yuan hadn't taken the time to learn much about its intricacies. Instead, he had devoted nearly all his focus to training.
'I never anticipated that I would be leaving the Primal Expanse so soon back then, so I never really paid attention to the world, and that old booger never told me much about the world, either.' Yuan sighed inwardly.
"Did the Primal Monarch really not tell you anything about our world? How long have you been living in the Primal Expanse?" The Primordial Phoenix asked.
"I came to the Primal Expanse by accident a little over a year ago," he said.
"Only a year ago? And you'd become the Primal Monarch's son in that little time? Something isn't adding up here." The Primordial Phoenix frowned.
"It's a little complicated, but this isn't my first time to the Primal Expanse."
"Elaborate."
