T/N: Boss also mean the eldest of the group.
After the system accepted the pure white soul and sent Cheng Hao to reincarnate, it saw a man in a black robe sitting beside the bed when it came back.
The excited system called out: [Master.]
Mo Yuan's eyes were always on his sleeping baby on the cloud bed, but hearing the system, he still nodded lightly. He stretched out his slender and strong hand toward the system.
The system understands and puts the pure white soul on Mo Yuan's palm.
It saw Mo Yuan holding the soul power in one hand while his other hand took out a blood-red pearl. He refined the soul energy into a wisp of smoke like filaments then injected it into the pearl.
The system looked very puzzled from the side. It can feel that the blood red pearl contains a powerful energy, however, it dare not ask what the pearl was.
Its master has his own reasons for doing things, it doesn't need to think about it. That pearl is definitely for its little master. The system was confident and proud of his powerful master care for its little master.
In this world, there's no one who will care for its little master more than its master. There's no one who can protect its little master better than its master.
After all, its master is...
After the refined soul energy is completely submerged in the pearl, Mo Yuan placed the pearl on Bai Chen's forehead. He put his finger together toward Bai Chen's forehead and made a few gestures. A golden light flashed across Bai Chen's forehead, then the blood-red pearl slowly sank into Bai Chen's forehead.
As the pearl disappeared, a red light flooded the system space. At the same time, the system clearly felt that its little master seemed to be different. However, due to Mo Yuan's presence, the system didn't check its little master's soul right then.
Mo Yuan's complexion remained the same. When the pearl seemed to turn to a child, he put two fingers on Bai Chen's forehead. When he retreated his fingers, the system clearly saw joy and relaxation flashed in its master's eyes, the person whose expression has always been indifferent.
Its little master soul must have improved a lot, the system guessed happily. There's only one possibility for its master to have such an expression after all.
Indeed, as the system has guessed, because of the blood-red pearl, Bai Chen's damaged soul has been repaired quite a lot.
This blood-red pearl is called the soul pearl. It is the treasure of the vampires from the previous world.
The matter has to start from Mo Yuan's sudden awakening in the previous world.
Mo Yuan didn't awaken by himself at that time, rather, it was an external force that awakened him.
What awakened him was a remnant soul of the first king of the vampires, Nikola, which he left in the world.
Nikola was the first life to appear in the previous world. He existed even earlier than human beings and was very powerful. In the previous world, he was equivalent to the ancient creation god presence in myth.
He witnessed the prosperous generation of the vampires and birth of the humans. But even though Nikola is equivalent to a god, a vampire's life will still come to an end one day.
Before Nikola and his partner fell into an eternal slumber, Nikola suddenly became uneasy, so he used his blood to predict the vampire's future. The predicted results show that after his power was returned to the world consciousness and he fell asleep, the vampire would gradually go from prosperity to decline and eventually perish and disappear from the world.
As the vampire's ancestor, Nikola naturally doesn't want to see his race meet that end. He tried again but the result was the same as the first time, it's just that the prediction this time also gave a very small glimmer of hope to the vampire.
In his prediction, the vampire will still have a chance to continue. After thousands of years, there will be one of his descendants that will bring hope to the vampire race.
It is just that the world consciousness shows him that this trace of life is very vague.
Nikola was a little puzzled. He guessed that his descendant was probably the world darling, but he was still not strong enough. Thus, Nikola and his partner used their own blood to condense a soul pearl that gathered the strength of them both.
The soul pearl not only condensed their hearts and blood, Nikola and his lover also injected their powerful spiritual energy into it. Nikola hopes that the power in that pearl will help his descendant in the future and keep the vampires safe from the humans, and let their bloodline continue in the future.
Because of the soul pearl, the Nikola couple fell into their eternal slumber in advance. Before falling asleep, Nikola put the soul pearl into the vampire race's forbidden ground. To be on the safe side, he even used a secret method to cruelly strip away a trace of his soul, hoping that at the last moment, that soul remnant can help.
After the Nikola couple fell into an eternal slumber, the soul pearl and Nikola remnant have been sealed in the vampire's race forbidden ground waiting for the arrival of the savior of the vampire as in his prediction.
When humans decided to fight against the vampires, Nikola soul remnant, who had been in the vampire's forbidden ground, awakened. Following the world's consciousness guidance, he found Zhan Yucheng.
Even without Nikola, Zhan Yucheng really hopes that the vampires can continue but he only promises to help the vampires while he is awake only.
Nikola is different because he wants the vampire to last forever. He took out the soul pearl in the hope that Zhan Yucheng could use the soul pearl to do something for the vampire race. What exactly it is, Nikola also didn't know. All he knew was that the world consciousness was vaguely guiding him to do so.
Mo Yuan's consciousness was awakened under the soul pearl influences.
The soul pearl inherits the strength and spiritual energy of Nikola and his lover, in addition, after spending thousands of years in the vampire forbidden ground, the soul pearl has absorbed the energy from the vampire's descendent for generation. The spiritual power inside was very strong and pure.
Mo Yuan was only able to wake up in that world because he felt the powerful and pure spiritual power in the soul pearl. He took the soul pearl and agreed to Nikola's request without much thought.
Only then did he use his own blood to make the contract for the humans and vampires. It is also because of Mo Yuan's awakening that brings out his own divine power that the contract can be formed.
All of this was just because Mo Yuan wanted to use the pure spiritual energy in the soul pearl to heal Bai Chen's soul.
After everything is done, Mo Yuan should have brought Bai Chen back to the system space to treat him immediately but because he just sign the contract with the Heaven Dao in that world and the seal on Bai Chen's soul almost collapsed, Mo Yuan uses more than he should and hurt his soul core. He cannot return to his body and to heal his soul, and for his own selfishness, he chose to sleep and let Bai Chen accompany him in that world for another ten years. When his consciousness awakened again with the nourishment for saving the vampire race and having the ability to return to his original body, he sent Bai Chen out of the world.
Mo Yuan looked at Bai Chen, who was sleeping peacefully on the cloud bed. The emotions in his eyes were complicated, "Baby, wait for me."
When all his souls return to his body and recover his divine power, his baby doesn't have to travel so hard to do tasks in every world anymore.
Mo Yuan slowly kissed Bai Chen's lips.
Time is up.
Mo Yuan looked reluctantly at the face that he loved to the core. His body slowly scattered into golden lights and finally disappeared.

[Not good!] When the system energy wraps its little master to enter the next mission world, a small world not far from the mission world swelled suddenly. Inside was a blazing fire that quickly spread through the surface of the world.
Does this mean it is going to explode?!!!
The system was shocked. The explosion of a world is no small matter, even if it is just a small world. The energy released by the explosion is hundreds of times more than it can handle now.
[We have to enter the mission world quickly.] The system said to itself. Every world will have a protective barrier on the surface. The world that they're going to enter now is an intermediate world. Their protective barrier can withstand the energy generated by the explosion of a small world.
The system uses all its energy. It wants to take its little master to the mission world before the small world explodes.
It's just that no matter how desperate the system is, it was still a step too late. When it was about to enter the mission world, the small world exploded with a 'peng'. A beautiful and dangerous firework blooms in the vast ocean of the universe.
The system couldn't dodge in time so it can only firmly protect its little master soul. On the other hand, it continued to rush desperately to the mission world.
At that moment, the system only has one thought. The little master must never be hurt again.
A ray of light pierced the sky and fell into a city.
————
A city with high-rise buildings should have been full of people with loud car honking and noises everywhere.
At this moment, the most lively and popular city center in this big city that should be a first-tier city was extremely quiet.
Not only that, those high rise buildings that were supposed to be splendid in Daxia looked dilapidated. The shattering windows outside were especially shocking, as if it was attacked by criminals. Besides the broken window, the surface of the building was also covered with dust. Everything looks dirty, even the sky in this city is grey with an ominous atmosphere.
Countless private cars are parked chaotically on the street. Some of them are intact while some were all battered. The cars were also covered with dust. If one looks carefully, they could see that there are dark red marks on these cars. There are many traces of the same marks on the ground too. Although the sizes are different, the color is sometimes dark and other lighter, it can still be seen that they all come from the same source.
In addition, there are many limbs scattered on the ground. Some have become bones while some are rotten.
Not only was this on the ground, it's even in the car. There was a rotten and unpleasant smell everywhere.
The sound of 'puchi' 'puchi' came as figures walked by in the distance. Looking at them carefully, it turns out that those are 'human' but also not 'human'. Their skin is pale with red blood eyes. Their mouths and teeth were stained with blood. Their clothes were tattered and blood was everywhere. Some of them have rotted. Some lack arms and legs. Some have imperfect facial features, either lacking eyes or nose. Some of them have their heads chopped off completely. Their appearances are all different and they can scare people at a glance, but their body movements were very alike. All untied and stiff, slowly wandering aimlessly on the road.
There is no one alive in this city. Those are all living dead. They are man-eating monsters. Humans collectively called them all - zombies.
