Chapter 24

An abundance of spirit qi filled the Origin Space, along with fresh green spirit grass.
Qin Yi sat on the grass and hugged the egg as her eyes squinted.
She had entered the Origin Space after leaving the gas station and encountered the egg after walking a few steps.
The strange thing was that the egg did not shatter even after she used a large force on it. Even stranger was that Qin Yi didn’t remember buying such an egg before.

Furthermore, Qin Yi’s intuition told her that the faint icy blue brilliance on the egg indicated that it was not as simple as it looked.
After thinking for a moment and still not coming to a conclusion, she started to feel hungry.
She looked at the egg in her hand and her eyes lit up. ‘Regardless, this is still an egg and it’s edible.’

‘This big egg will be good when baked.’
As though aware of Qin Yi’s thoughts, the egg suddenly jerked and jumped forward a few steps.
2
Yes, it jumped a few steps ahead.
At the same time, an immature voice sounded out in Qin Yi’s mind, “What a foolish woman you are to actually dare have thoughts of eating this king. Do you believe that this king’s strike will burn you to ashes?”
2
A buzzing sound appeared in her mind and immediately induced pain in her as well. The endless jabbering and buzzing caused Qin Yi’s mind to feel even more pain.
Qin Yi snorted, “Shut up.”
The voice inside her mind stopped, and Qin Yi finally felt more comfortable.
She jabbed at the egg and asked, “Was it you talking?”
An empty silence answered her.
Qin Yi frowned and threatened again, “Why’re you not talking? If you continue keeping silent, I’ll cook you up and eat you.”

The moment she finished her sentence, the child-like voice came out again, “Didn’t you ask me to shut up?”
The corners of Qin Yi’s mouth twitched. Hearing that made her feel slightly wronged.
“Alright, I’m not stopping you from talking now. Who are you exactly, and how did you appear in the Origin Space?”
Qin Yi did not find it shocking to be talking to an egg. Before being trapped in the laboratory, she had encountered all sorts of mutated plants and animals in the apocalypse. All of them had gained intelligence, and awakened users were able to tame a few of them, turning them into things of great assistance.
2
Hence, Qin Yi was not surprised and unconsciously treated the egg as a mutated egg with intelligence. ‘Who would have thought that animals would mutate even in the initial phase?’
The egg moved its body slightly. “This king is the Ice Phoenix, the ancient mythological phoenix. As for why this king is here, that is because this Origin Space belongs to this king.”
3
Even though Qin Yi was mentally prepared for anything, her face was unable to hide her shock. ‘Ice phoenix, the ancient mythological animal. Hehe, are you bullying me because I hardly read books?’
The—no, the ice phoenix—could sense that Qin Yi did not believe it and explained further, “This king is the ice phoenix. You should know, this world of yours is only a small realm amongst over 300 other realms…”
According to the Ice phoenix, the world had countless realms that ran parallel to each other and were unable to overlap; earth was one of the realms. The ice phoenix came from a realm called Fallen Feather Continent, where the inhabitants could cultivate in various elements. This Origin Space was created by its master, Epoch Heaven, and was linked to its heart blood. After Epoch Heaven was harmed by others, the Ice phoenix and the Origin Space had somehow landed on earth and formed a contract with Qin Yi.
Now, Qin Yi was the master of the Origin Space, as well as the master of the ice phoenix.
