So at the moment the power of the Serpent God erupted, the power of time travel, along with a portion of the Serpent God's power, traveled to the present world.
During this process, the power of the Serpent God instinctively sought a host. Unfortunately, it had no choice but to accept Lu Xuan. Thus, the power of the Serpent God surged into Lu Xuan's body, completely disrupting his meridians.
This power is ancient and domineering. Lu Xuan's meager cultivation energy from a hundred years of practice is utterly powerless against it. The power of the Serpent God currently has a symbiotic relationship with Lu Xuan. It will be difficult for Lu Xuan to control it. However, it has also offered one benefit: it autonomously repairs Lu Xuan's damaged body.
However, this energy clearly wasn't suited for healing. Its recovery speed wasn't even as fast as Lu Xuan's vital energy. But if it didn't repair Lu Xuan's body, Lu Xuan couldn't use his vital energy. This created a vicious cycle. Lu Xuan could only wait for it to slowly repair his body.
When he attempted to explore the power of the Serpent God, the dark space where his consciousness fell was very clear. That should be the famous imaginary space within the Ghost Blows Out the Light universe.
Perhaps this is some kind of special effect inherent in the power of the Serpent God. Unfortunately, it's far more difficult to control. For example, Lu Xuan was almost devoured by it simply by probing it. The danger of this thing makes it something Lu Xuan won't consider in the short term.
Having figured these things out, Lu Xuan was exhausted and could no longer continue. He could only drift off to sleep.
When he regained consciousness, he felt someone pulling at his fur. He instinctively reached out and grabbed the hand.
It felt rough yet delicate; it was a woman's hand. He opened his eyes and saw a woman with wheat-colored skin looking at him in surprise.
Before Lu Xuan could speak, the woman screamed and ran out.
"Kalish, he's awake."
Lu Xuan couldn't understand what the other person was saying, but he vaguely felt that the pronunciation was somewhat familiar. However, before he could think of anything, he saw someone outside lift the tent flap and walk in.
She was a petite but beautiful girl. She had long, golden-silver hair and purple eyes. She exuded a unique and noble aura. Lu Xuan recognized her at a glance; this girl was none other than Daenerys Targaryen, the absolute heroine of A Song of Ice and Fire, the Mother of Dragons.
Judging from Daenerys's exhausted appearance and the shabby surroundings, it's clear that the current timeline is right after the death of Khal Drogo, with Daenerys leading a small group of loyal centaurs to the Red Wasteland.
Dani's face now clearly showed signs of fatigue. Her eyes were filled with unease and fear about the future. She tried hard to hide it, but to Lu Xuan, who had lived through four lifetimes, it was all too obvious.
"@%#%......"
Lu Xuan couldn't understand what the other person was saying. But he could guess that the other person was probably asking him something like, "You're awake now, how are you feeling?"
He nodded slightly in response. At that moment, Dani reached out and took the bundle from a woman beside her, placing it in front of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan opened the package and found some items he had prepared before transmigrating. It was only a portion: some small gold bars and various gemstones. These were to prevent starting with nothing. After all, in most worlds, these things were quite valuable, allowing Lu Xuan to save time accumulating resources.
But those weren't the key items; the key item was the last one. It was a short, silver spear, about forty centimeters long, engraved with ornate runes. It was the very same silver magic spear that Dracula had given him in the previous world.
The appearance of these things signifies a great deal. Lu Xuan is now able to carry some things with him when he travels through time. Each time he travels, all the accumulated power from the previous world, except for his physical strength, is rendered useless. This has always been quite awkward for Lu Xuan. But this time, the situation has changed.
Although the source of this change is unknown, there is no doubt that Lu Xuan's journey through the heavens has entered a new chapter.

Lu Xuan reached out and picked up the silver short gun, then pushed the gold and gems in front of Dani.
"You saved my life, consider this my way of repaying you." Undoubtedly, Dani didn't understand Lu Xuan's words, but she understood his meaning.
She hesitated for a moment, and then a tall man beside her stepped forward and put her things away for her. He was very perceptive; judging from his distinct appearance compared to the others, this must be Dani's old simp, Jorah Mormont the Bear.
However, both Jorah and the men and women around Daenerys were all weathered and exhausted. Clearly, their situation was dire. Lu Xuan could roughly guess what time period they were in; this was arguably the most difficult time for Daenerys.
However, Lu Xuan was helpless; he couldn't even walk around on his own, so he couldn't offer any help.
Daenerys only stayed in Lu Xuan's tent for a short time before quickly leaving. Lu Xuan could hear their argument, presumably about how to settle him. However, Lu Xuan wasn't worried, because Daenerys was still that kind girl. Although no longer as naive as before, she was undoubtedly a good person. She certainly wouldn't abandon the person who gave her a bag of gold and jewels, even though their biggest problem now was probably famine.
Lu Xuan enjoyed top-tier treatment within the group. To conserve horsepower, almost everyone, including Dani, walked, while Lu Xuan rode a horse. Dani's subordinates were quite dissatisfied with this and provoked Lu Xuan several times. However, Lu Xuan ignored them and instead carefully observed the group.
In the TV series, at this point, Dani's entire team consisted of only about twenty people (I counted them in a long shot, and they were about twenty-four or twenty-five...). However, the team that Lu Xuan sees now is far larger than that.
There were about two hundred people in the tribe, making it a small tribe. However, the majority of them were women, the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled. They didn't even have children. Undoubtedly, these people had been abandoned by other tribes. Only Dani Pit had taken them in.
The group of two hundred people consisted of only four or five young women, presumably Daenerys's former handmaids. There were also about twenty able-bodied men, some of whom were Daenerys's blood oath guards. They hadn't originally intended to swear a blood oath, but after witnessing the three dragons Daenerys had hatched, they all willingly knelt and cried out, "My blood, my blood!"
This is also why this team has been able to persevere until now. After all, they have three dragons in their team. Although they are only three young dragons, they still bring a sense of hope to others. Dragons are a symbol of power in this world.
However, Lu Xuan had only seen the dragon twice in the past few days. Clearly, Dani was trying to reduce the little dragon's activity level in order to conserve meat.
Even so, their food and water supplies were rapidly dwindling. And the red wasteland before them still stretched as far as the eye could see. No wonder this area was known as the Hellish Wasteland.
In truth, the Purgatory Wasteland isn't short of water. However, most of the water is undrinkable. You can often see puddles littered with corpses, or riverbeds that haven't completely dried up. But this water is filled with silt and bacteria, making it utterly inedible.
Even though the centaurs were barbaric and ignorant, after trying it a few times, they realized that the water was undrinkable.
"Sir Jorah, is there any more water?" After about ten days, Lu Xuan was able to converse with Jorah in basic Common. Relatively speaking, Jorah treated him the best. He was of noble birth and was more shrewd than the centaurs.
“We don’t have enough water. We need to conserve it. Khaleesi hasn’t had a drop of water all day.”
"Really? You want to help her?"
"Of course, but what can we do? This is the Purgatory Wasteland; water scarcity is to be expected."
"I might have a way."
"What?" Jorah abruptly pulled on Lu Xuan's horse, nearly throwing him off.
"Follow me." Lu Xuan rode his horse to a stagnant puddle.
"Sir Jorah, find me some cloth. Also, some leftover charcoal, some fine sand, and two buckets of water."
Jorah stood there, watching Lu Xuan for a while. Seeing that Lu Xuan wasn't joking, she turned and beckoned a few helpers to go find what Lu Xuan needed.
Lu Xuan forced himself to squat down and smelled the water in the puddle. A foul, fishy stench hit him, making him feel nauseous.
Just then, Jorah ran over with the things Lu Xuan needed.
