Chapter 194: The Ancient Species Returns!!!!
Sharp Edge Mountain, the Six-Point Banquet.
After Jade Crown Great King’s late arrival, Reverse Time, the Second Sanctuary Guardian, finally entered the venue, only to find a strange scene. Jade Crown Great King, the last of the Six Stars to arrive, stood frozen, staring at the golden-haired girl, a video playing on its phone.
“I’m a Shining Species holder~~~” the voice from the video repeated.
“Jade Crown, what are you watching? Who’s the Shining Species holder? I hear Reverse Time’s voice. Is she already here?” Gem Concubine, having risen from its seat, its brilliant eyes fixed on the golden-haired girl, asked. Reverse Time hadn’t spoken yet.
Jade Crown Great King remained silent.
Then, with a “Boom!”, a powerful Shining aura, like a thunderbolt, enveloped the Three Saints Palace’s seating area.
The mountains behind First Quarter, for tens of thousands of kilometers, shattered, and First Quarter, the Three Saints Palace’s strongest, its silver light intensifying, faced Gem Concubine’s Shining aura.
Lian Xing hid behind First Quarter, not wanting to confront Gem Concubine after the Frost Flower incident. Children will be children…a little…accidental manslaughter…
“A fight! A fight!!!” Reverse Time, excited, took out her phone, ready to record.
But a burst of purple aura descended.
Southern Queen.
Its massive peacock body, like a wall, separated First Quarter and Gem Concubine, also blocking Reverse Time’s camera. Under Southern Queen’s warning gaze, Reverse Time reluctantly put away her phone, then turned to Gem Concubine. “Gem Concubine, stand down. The Seven King Mother will be awakening soon. Do you want to anger it?”
After a long silence, the crystal dragon glared at the golden-haired girl, who was making faces at it, then settled back down. First Quarter shook its head and sat down. Gem Concubine wasn’t stupid. It hadn’t intended to cause a scene at the Six-Point Banquet, just a show of force against Lian Xing. But Lian Xing had hidden behind First Quarter, not even summoning her pet beast.
Soon, Jade Crown Great King and Reverse Time also took their seats, but the golden-haired girl had become the center of attention, all the Shining Six Stars members staring at her curiously.
This woman…the new Shining Species holder…?
What kind of pet beast does she have…?
Heavenly Maiden also observed Lian Xing, finally understanding why she had been so drawn to her.
Kindred spirits… Noticing Heavenly Maiden’s gaze, Lian Xing glared back.
Submissive towards Gem Concubine, aggressive towards Heavenly Maiden!
This was Lian Xing…
Time passed, the atmosphere awkward, only Jade Crown Great King still playing on its phone. They were all waiting for the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge.
Sharp Edge Mountain was uninhabited, solely for the Seven King Mother’s slumber, the surrounding area for billions of kilometers also desolate. It was the battlefield between the Seven King Mother and the Fallen Species, Storm, only bustling with activity during the Six-Point Banquet.
Finally…
After several hours…
Without warning, a blinding white light tore through the sky.
“Boom!!!!”
The sky shattered for billions of kilometers, the world turning white. A magnificent, pure white sword box, adorned with seven stars, descended upon the banquet venue. No one had sensed its approach, it had simply appeared…
“…”
“…”
As the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge arrived, Heavenly Maiden covered her eyes, wincing. And Lian Xing, her eyes slightly bloodshot, looked at this supreme being with awe. Her strongest pet beasts from her previous life, in Pet Beast Evolution Battle, they were like dust before this being.
She couldn’t even imagine an evolution path that could rival it.
Her knowledge of beast taming was completely inadequate…
Even her strongest, most evolved pet beast couldn’t possibly last a second against it.
This was…
The pinnacle of pet beast evolution, one of the Shining Duo, the Star Goddess’s former pet beast, the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge!!!
At this moment, all of Lian Xing’s pet beasts, including Moonlight Rabbit, trembled, even Calamity Sun and Star Sand couldn’t maintain their composure before this unparalleled Shining aura. It was like when she had first arrived at the Beast Tamer Alliance and seen the Ancient Juvenile Species, Extinction.
But if it were that situation, it wouldn’t be Extinction standing here, but Tears Maiden’s Yellow Springs Beckon…
A few seconds later, after surveying the scene, a gentle voice echoed from within the sword box.
“Since everyone is here, let the Six-Point Banquet begin.”
“But this time, the situation is a bit special…”
“Besides myself, there are seven Shining Species present. So, will the seventh Shining Species participate in this banquet?”
“…”
“…”
As the Seven King Mother’s words echoed, everyone’s gaze turned towards the golden-haired girl. And Lian Xing, under everyone’s scrutiny, blinked, confused.
What? Wasn’t the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge…nice…?
She had expected it to confront her about Frost Flower, but it seemed surprisingly gentle, not as terrifying as Qianqiu had described.
Or was this a…trap…?
Just then, First Quarter’s voice echoed in her mind, “Don’t hesitate. If you dare to compete with the other Shining Species, then agree. The Seven King Mother wouldn’t bother setting a trap for you. Although it’s indifferent towards other pet beasts, Shining Species are different. And you resemble the Star Goddess. It’s normal for it to be nicer to you.”
Hearing this, Lian Xing nodded, slightly flattered.
Seeing her agree, Reverse Time and Southern Queen frowned.
A Royal-Tier Shining Species, competing against Monarch-Tier Shining Species? This was madness…!
Gem Concubine sneered.
Quite brave…
Sensing the golden-haired girl’s response, the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge, a hint of approval in its aura, thought, Participating despite the tier difference…truly worthy of a Shining Species.
“The last Six-Point Banquet’s event was a ten-minute battle against a Thousand Level Ancient Species. Except for Jade Crown, you all performed admirably. So, this time, I’ll increase the difficulty.”
“…”
“…”
Being called out, Jade Crown Great King didn’t seem embarrassed, continuing to play on its phone. In the previous event, the goal had been to inflict the most damage on the Ancient Species within ten minutes. Jade Crown Great King, glued to its phone, had achieved a laughably low score. And Gem Concubine, with its overwhelming power, had been first. Given another ten minutes, it might have even killed the Ancient Species.
“This time, I had Divine Machine create a portal within Storm. I’ll send you all inside. You have one hour.”
“During that time, whoever kills the most lice wins…”
As the Seven King Mother’s words echoed, the venue fell silent.
Inside Storm…?
That terrifying Fallen Emperor, Storm, one of the Four Disasters?
Was this a joke…?
Storm was the strongest of the Four Disasters. Although the reasons were unknown, the other three Fallen Emperors’ trajectories intersected, while Storm’s was independent…!!!
This meant that millions of years ago, Volcano, Flood, and Drought might have been forced to alter their paths to avoid colliding with Storm. And Storm’s lice were the most ferocious, because Storm never harmed them, their numbers and strength constantly increasing.
Like a god unaware of the insects on its body…
And this had led to the birth of an unprecedented Monarch-Tier Fallen Species within Storm!!!
Hearing this, Lian Xing looked up, not because of Storm, but because of the name Divine Machine.
Divine Machine, the 2nd ranked Mechanical Species among the 72 Legends.
Lian Xing strongly suspected that it was the creator of Pet Beast Evolution Battle.
“You have one hour to prepare. Any questions or suggestions?”
“Wait, Seven King Mother, are you sure about sending them inside Storm?”
“If something happens…can you bear the responsibility?” Reverse Time, the Second Sanctuary Guardian, stood up and asked, her expression grim.
The Seven King Mother nodded. “I’ll attack Storm while they’re being teleported.”
“I see, then there’s no problem—” Reverse Time said, understanding.
An attack from the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge would be a spectacle…
Storm wouldn’t even notice the other beings, its attention completely focused on the Seven King Mother.
Then, under everyone’s gaze, Lian Xing also stood up.
“Seven King Mother, I have a request. Snow Flower is my future wife… Although we haven’t officially contracted yet, we’ve agreed to marry once it reaches Monarch-Tier. Can I bring it with me? My strength won’t affect the other Shining Species’ rankings. It’s just to gain some experience…~~~”
“Allowed,” the Seven King Mother nodded after a moment of hesitation.
It was strange…wasn’t Snow Flower…Fallen-type…?
Why was it with a Shining Species Beast Tamer?
Meanwhile, under Ice Emperor and White Abode’s watchful gazes, Snow Flower didn’t react, as if it truly were Lian Xing’s wife.
A few seconds later, Reverse Time, also stood up and asked, mimicking Lian Xing’s tone, “Seven King Mother, I also have a request. Can I livestream this?”
“No.”
“Seven King Mother, I’ll forfeit the competition. Can I stay inside longer? I have a score to settle with that thing… One hour isn’t enough,” Gem Concubine also asked.
“Settle it next time. I had Divine Machine prepare the portal and the return timer. It’s too late to change it now.”
After that, no one asked any more questions, all of them preparing for the upcoming battle. First Quarter silently gave Lian Xing a piece of its crystal.
Having a mother’s support is nice.
Do you all have mothers, ladies? Lian Xing thought, glancing at the other Shining Species with a smug look.
A moment later, seeing that the Shining Six Stars were ready, the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge released a subtle aura, enveloping them, including Lian Xing.
This wasn’t its own aura, but… borrowed from the Legend, Divine Machine.
And as Lian Xing had guessed, Divine Machine, the 2nd ranked of the 72 Legends, was the creator of Pet Beast Evolution Battle.
The moment she came into contact with this aura, the game UI appeared before her eyes.
And then, in the next second…
Lian Xing’s eyes widened in shock, as if she had seen a ghost.
At the top of the game UI, a strange message had appeared.
[The system has detected that your companion pet beast is on the same map.]
[It is out of range. Do you wish to recall it?]
…
…
This was—
Lian Xing’s Ancient Species from her previous life!!!
