The guild hall was unusually quiet.
Even the soldiers Sylar had summoned from the system were on standby, sensing something in the air.
The egg in the central chamber had begun to tremble—each pulse more violent than the last. Flames coiled around it naturally, like it was calling for war.

Yue rushed in.
"Lord Sylar! There's a spatial ripple approaching—an enemy cultivator has crossed the outer formation… and he's bending time."
Sylar's lips curled into a smirk. "Let's meet our first real 'protagonist.'"
⚔️ Enter: Hao Tian, Time-Walker of the Northern Sands
He stepped into the courtyard like he owned it.
A handsome youth clad in moon-silk robes, with silver hair and jade-green eyes that pulsed like clock gears. His aura warped reality with each breath.
Behind him stood three veiled girls—each powerful, each bound to him by contract. One of them trembled as she looked at Sylar, as if sensing something primal.
"I am Hao Tian," he said with a charismatic grin. "Son of the Chrono-Peak Patriarch. I came to warn you: this land is now under my father's influence. I suggest you leave before the clock strikes midnight."
Sylar yawned. "Is that supposed to scare me?"
Hao Tian blinked. "No… just wanted to be poetic. But now that I see your face, I'm annoyed."
Yue chuckled. "We kill him?"
Sylar raised his hand. "Let me play first."
🌪️ The Temporal Battle
In a flash, Hao Tian moved.
The world slowed. Even Lin's reaction lagged by a second.
But Sylar stood still—unmoved.

Sylar side-stepped the time-slash and drove his palm into Hao Tian's chest.
BOOM!
The time manipulator flew back like a kite, crashing through three stone pillars.
Hao Tian coughed blood, stunned. "You… you shouldn't be able to move in my domain!"
"I don't obey clocks," Sylar said, cracking his knuckles. "I rewrite them."
🧊 Unexpected Proposal
Before the duel could escalate, a voice echoed through the sky.
"Stop, both of you!"
A royal carriage descended from the clouds—drawn by spirit birds made of sapphire wind.
Out stepped a regal young woman in flowing blue robes, crowned with feathers. She was breathtaking—easily a 10 out of 10 even by Sylar's standards.
"I am Princess Shuangyu of the Gale-River Kingdom. I come with a proposal."
Sylar raised an eyebrow. "I don't do politics. Unless there's profit."
She bowed deeply. "I come to offer… myself."
The courtyard froze.
"Say what now?" Lin muttered.
The princess flushed. "Our kingdom is small but resourceful. We lack powerful defenders. We offer you a political marriage and full resource access in exchange for protection."
Sylar grinned. "And how do I know you're not a trap?"
Princess Shuangyu glanced at the trembling egg behind him. "Because only someone who tames a dragon should tame me."

Yue whispered, "You're going to say yes, right?"
Sylar smirked. "Obviously. The kingdom comes with a queen."
🐉 Hatch Progress and Bonding
Later that night, as Sylar finalized the alliance in the private garden with Princess Shuangyu "getting to know him" under moonlight, the egg cracked.

In the central chamber, the egg began to glow.
Feixue, in her chamber, gasped—feeling her body burn.
"Why… why do I feel this… craving?" she muttered, gripping her chest.
The dragon's spirit had latched onto her soul.
🧬 A New System Feature Unlocked

Sylar, half-dressed under moonlight, saw the message and laughed.
"My empire isn't just going to be built on blood and battle," he whispered. "It'll be built on bedposts and bloodlines."
🧩 Meanwhile… A Villain Awakens
Far across the continent, a man with crimson eyes opened a coffin made of cursed jade.
He smirked.
"So the Dragon Summoner has arrived in this timeline too…"
A golden-haired woman behind him asked, "Will you face him?"
He chuckled. "No. I'll let him rise. And when he's ready, I'll take everything he has—his power, his women, even his beast."
