Chapter 176: The Name of Star Goddess, Subduing Calamity Sun!!
“Boom!!!”
“Boom!!!!!”
As the golden light of Billion Waxing and Waning Moons raged, a third of the Pet Beast World collapsed, the remaining areas also affected, mountains and rivers overturned, even Emperor-Tier lice were swept away by the shockwave. All fighting ceased, every being staring in horrified disbelief.
A moment later, as the Shining aura faded, a Sovereign-Tier Emperor’s presence vanished.
Silence fell over the Pet Beast World.
“Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light…even you lost…?”
“A Shining Species…just what is…” Another lice Sovereign, facing the Seven Heavens, muttered in disbelief, retreating before vanishing from their detection range. The two Sovereigns near Youyou Leize and the City of Awe also went into hiding. Normally, a battle between Sovereign-Tier Emperors would last for days, until their Pet Essence was depleted. But against a full-powered Shining Species, the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light hadn’t even lasted three minutes.
This meant that an unimaginably powerful force had been born in this lower Pet Beast World.
Even Sovereign-Tier Emperors, facing certain death, chose to retreat…
Meanwhile, amidst the ruins of the battlefield…
The golden flames around the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon subsided, the giant starry eyes behind it closing. Returning to its normal form, it flexed its ears, testing its newfound power.
[Royal-Tier — Biological Species — Eight-Star Bewitching Moon LV1941]
After defeating a Sovereign-Tier Emperor, its level had almost doubled, reaching mid-Monarch-Tier, its Pet Essence capacity greatly increased, Shining Awakening’s cooldown reduced to 15 days.
At the same time, Lian Xing, after collecting the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s life crystal, checked Star Pole Awakening’s cooldown. There was no specific timer, just a progress bar slowly filling. Lian Xing estimated about six months.
“I wonder if absorbing more of the Eleventh Zodiac’s aura would accelerate the recovery…”
“Let’s wait for news about Calamity Sun~~~” Although the area around Lian Xing had been cleared by the Beast Tamer Alliance, many Emperors were still watching, especially those from the nearby Dominating Cauldron Palace. After Moon Rabbit Lian Xing’s declaration, the Dominating Cauldron Palace’s guardian Emperor had immediately notified the Seven Heavens’ higher-ups. Then, as the battle subsided, and the lice, suppressed by Lian Xing, went into hiding, the Seven Heavens began searching for Calamity Sun.
After all, Moon Rabbit was now their only hope.
There were seven or eight more Sovereign-Tier Emperors and a terrifying, ten-thousand-level Great Emperor among the remaining lice. The current Pet Beast World’s forces were no match for them.
Soon, even Yellow Dragon, the second Sovereign-Tier pet beast stationed at the headquarters, a legendary figure, joined the search. With its immense size, it could see for thousands of kilometers.
Finally, within seven hours, Calamity Sun’s location was found.
It was scavenging in the ruins of the 2nd-level region, Wind Sand Region, and was immediately captured by the Seven Heavens.
Calamity Sun, originally the exclusive throwing weapon of the Fallen Species Emperor, Drought, one of the Four Disasters, a terrifying being feared throughout the new world, had risen to 12th place among the 72 Legends after just one reincarnation.
A hundred thousand years ago, during the battle between the Fallen Species Drought and the Sanctuary Guardian, Reverse Time, Calamity Sun, thrown but not retrieved, had landed in a lower Pet Beast World, disappearing. After rampaging through that world, killing half of its Sovereign-Tier Emperors, it had finally been destroyed, along with the Seven Heavens’ original seven Great Emperors, by an envoy from the new world, causing a collapse in the Pet Beast World’s power structure.
Tens of thousands of years later, Calamity Sun was reborn. The new generation of Seven Heavens lords had wanted to retrieve it, but the Cycle of Calamity’s leader had taken it first.
However, having lost its combat skills from its previous reincarnation, the current Calamity Sun was like a toothless tiger, far less dangerous.
Within ten hours, Calamity Sun, escorted by the Yellow Dragon Emperor, arrived at the Beast Tamer Alliance. As a giant, yellow dragon, its size beyond their field of vision, descended from the sky, covering hundreds of regions, then, its body disappearing, transforming into a voluptuous, yellow-haired heavyset woman, it landed gently.
At this moment, Calamity Sun, held firmly in the woman’s hand, didn’t dare to move.
Why was Yellow Dragon of the Seven Heavens described as heavyset…? Because those two watermelon-sized masses on her chest… Emperor-Tier pet beasts with large breasts were common, but… pumpkin-sized ones were rare.
Of course, besides her ample bosom, the rest of her figure was slender and curvaceous…
As Yellow Dragon and Calamity Sun arrived, the golden-haired girl with buns and white stockings was watering the strange meteorite soil. Seeing the golden elemental figure, Star Sand, staring at it curiously, Yellow Dragon’s expression softened, as if it saw someone familiar…
“Boss…” it muttered unconsciously.
Star Sand tilted its head, confused.
But Yellow Dragon quickly recovered, a sad look in its eyes. This Star Sand was a reincarnated being, having gone through three or four cycles already. It probably didn’t remember its time in the Seven Heavens.
But how ironic… Star Sand, which had once fought to the death against Calamity Sun, was now in the hands of the same Beast Tamer.
And the resemblance…
Moon Rabbit Lian Xing’s starry eyes…
They were so similar to someone it had glimpsed in the new world in one of its previous lives…
Perhaps only someone with that bloodline could evolve a Shining Species at Royal-Tier…
At this moment, lost in its thoughts, Yellow Dragon, carrying Calamity Sun, walked past Star Sand, Snow Flower and Golden Leaf, the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, and the Mist Colt, stopping before the golden-haired girl with buns.
“…”
“…”
“Star Concubine, Yellow Dragon of the Seven Heavens, presenting Calamity Sun…” it said respectfully, offering the motionless, black iron ball.
Seeing Calamity Sun’s behavior, you would think it was imitating a Mechanical Species’s shutdown mode…
However, hearing this, Lian Xing tilted her head, confused.
“Star Concubine…?”
“What’s with that title?”
“…”
“…”
“Star Concubine, after this disaster, this Pet Beast World will likely enter a new era. Like after the destruction caused by Calamity Sun ten thousand years ago, the events and figures from the past will only exist in legends…”
“And by then, we, the Seven Heavens, might no longer exist. So, someone has to record our deeds, including yours, of course.”
“Forgive my rudeness, there are thousands of Beast Tamers in this world nicknamed Moon Rabbit. It’s not unique. After some discussion, the Seven Heavens have decided to record your story under the title of Star Concubine…”
So that’s what it was…
Lian Xing nodded thoughtfully as Yellow Dragon explained.
She had seen many Beast Tamers change their titles in the later stages of the game, to avoid confusion due to duplicate names.
Unless they were like Yun Jianyou, whose name was so unique that even after reaching Emperor-Tier, he was still known as Yun Jianyou.
Although many Beast Tamers proclaimed themselves Emperors or Empresses, only those recognized by the Seven Heavens had any real meaning. Otherwise, it was just self-deception.
“Star Concubine…it’s a decent title, but it’s a bit too similar to Star Goddess…”
“But it doesn’t matter, it’s only being used in this Pet Beast World…” Lian Xing muttered, taking Calamity Sun.
After all, she had only learned what a Star Goddess was after asking Jade Lady.
Millions of years ago, the most beautiful and powerful Beast Tamer in the new world, she had been involved with dozens of Legends, even one of the current Shining Duo had been her pet beast. During the Star Goddess’s reign, all four Fallen Emperors had altered their trajectories. Her existence had been as brilliant as a meteor, but it had also been short-lived, disappearing after less than a century.
In the new world, everyone knew the legend of the Star Goddess.
Especially Lover, one of the 72 Legends, a devoted fan of the Star Goddess, spreading its name throughout the world, its enthusiasm unwavering for tens of thousands of years.
After a moment of thought, Lian Xing looked down at Calamity Sun in her hand.
At the same time, all the pet beasts present also stared at Calamity Sun.
Under their gazes, Calamity Sun, unable to pretend any longer, a drop of cold sweat trickled down its surface.
[Don’t even think about it. I’ll never join you!!]
[In my eyes, you’re just a naive child. Are you prepared to destroy everything for me? Do you have the resolve to enter the new world? Do you have the courage to fight against a Fallen Emperor for me?]
[No, with your indecisive personality, you can’t even abandon the insects in this world…]
[You’ll ruin my Fallen path!!!]
As Calamity Sun’s angry words echoed, under Yellow Dragon’s strange gaze, Lian Xing didn’t argue, simply carrying Calamity Sun out of the ruins. A few seconds later, as their vision expanded, a devastated landscape appeared before Calamity Sun’s disbelieving eyes. A seemingly endless scene of destruction, shattered Pet Essence everywhere, not a single intact area within a radius of millions of kilometers.
Seeing this, Calamity Sun fell silent.
Meanwhile, Lian Xing said calmly, “Indecisive…?”
“Are you talking about me?”
“The one who destroyed a third of this world, leaving billions of pet beasts homeless…?”
“The one who, to defeat a Sovereign-Tier Emperor, to test my pet beasts’ limits, caused such devastation…?”
“My emotions are only swayed by my own path of evolution. Lovers, friends, companions, even my own mother, my own body they’re all just tools to me…”
“In this world, nothing can stop my evolution. I will reach the end, and everything else will just be a distant memory… Important, but… not essential…”
“This is my nature…”
“…”
“…”
As Lian Xing’s calm words echoed, Calamity Sun remained silent for a long time.
A few hours later, just as Yellow Dragon was about to return to the Seven Heavens, Calamity Sun finally spoke.
[Yellow Dragon, give me back my combat skills.]
[That’s my only request…]
Thus, after a long journey, Calamity Sun had finally returned to Lian Xing’s hands.
The first time they met, it had been forcefully given to the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer by a berserk Ancient Species.
The second time, it had fought alongside the Heaven-Gracing Curtain, defeating the Ancient Juvenile Species, Extinction.
The third time, it had retreated early in the chaotic battle between Snow Flower and Lian Xing.
And the fourth time…
It wasn’t the High-Tier Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, nor the Commander-Tier Heaven-Gracing Curtain, nor the Royal-Tier Eight-Star Bewitching Moon.
—312 hours remained until the Shining Species Moonlight Rabbit, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, would wield Calamity Sun again.
