Chapter 209: The Mass Transmigration Incident of Beast Taming Evolution Duel Players

—Moon Soul World—

Suddenly, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother on Sharp Edge Mountain sensed something, her gaze shifting towards the distance.

Seconds later, her silver eyebrows furrowed, her eyes dimming slightly.

At the same time, the remaining three of the Four Great Calamities—Storm, Volcano, and Flood—all looked towards a distant point.

And on the virtual map accessible to all beings…

A red arrow, marking a Calamity, began to fade from the Cold Moon Palace region.

It was replaced by…

A mixed white, gold, and red light spot.

[Star Concubine · Lian Xing]

From this moment on, Lian Xing, along with the six Guardians, the Four Great Calamities, and the Shining Bipoles, was marked on the virtual map.

This meant her every action would have a significant impact on the Moon Soul World’s landscape and power structure.

Meanwhile, in Cold Moon Palace…

Under everyone’s gaze, Drought’s Life Crystal turned to smoke and vanished.

The era of the Four Great Calamities had ended.

Only three remained.

Then, three Black combat skills and one Shining combat skill dropped.

Lian Xing examined them briefly. The three Black combat skills were for Biological species, not suitable for her lineup. But the Shining combat skill was universal.

[Shining Combat Skill · Mountain Haze]

[Mountain Haze: Automatically forms armor from aura, suitable for large Pet Beasts.]

[Greatly increases defense in Mountain Haze armor state, raising defense cap to 500 (from 50), randomly generating 10 five-stage defensive Arcane Arts from Biological species.]

[Negates stiffness, knockback, stun, bleeding, dismemberment, and other negative effects.]

[Doubles Pet Essence consumption in Mountain Haze form.]

Lian Xing was slightly surprised.

Had Drought not used this combat skill in the end…?

No, not just the Shining combat skill, but also her Bloodline and Black combat skills!

It was like being called away for dinner mid-game and quickly forfeiting…

Was she… in a hurry to reincarnate…?

Though Lian Xing couldn’t understand Drought’s actions, it was clear she had held back in their final battle.

After a moment of silence, Lian Xing equipped the Shining combat skill on the Fallen Golden Leaf, Nether Leaf Dark King’s Court.

Now, all three of her special evolution Pet Beasts possessed Shining combat skills.

Lian Xing was now powerful enough to dominate the entire Moon Soul World.

[Ancient Species—Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit]

[Emperor-Tier—Fallen Species—Nether Leaf Dark King’s Court]

[Monarch-Tier—Shining Species—Starlight Never Diminishes, Moon Eternal]

[Monarch-Tier—Weapon Species—Neverending Tower]

[Monarch-Tier—Elemental Species—Ice Attendant Snow Youluo]

[Royal-Tier—Viral Species—Cloud and Dream’s Promise]

[Commander-Tier—Elemental Species—Celestial Bride’s Starry Sea]

Having become an Emperor-Tier Beast Tamer, Lian Xing now had eight contract slots.

Excluding the bugged Ancient Rabbit, she could contract one more Pet Beast.

She had two options: first, to find her past life’s Legend, the unique, rule-type Weapon Species, Death Sentence.

Death Sentence, despite having no combat abilities, was ranked similarly to Calamity Sun.

Its initial ability was to kill a Pet Beast in its own lineup, permanently removing one of its evolution requirements…

Of course, she couldn’t just kill her Ancient, Shining, or Fallen Species. But Mist Colt and Star Sand were expendable; their levels were low, and their revival cooldowns were short. Killing them a few times would trigger their evolutions.

However, Lian Xing didn’t know Death Sentence’s current location.

Her second option was Tai Yin, the enigmatic, immortal Legend ranked first among the seventy-two Legends.

Tai Yin could grant a Beast Tamer immortality.

Only the First Emperor had supposedly seen it.

This information was readily available online in the Moon Soul World.

But Tai Yin hadn’t been seen in a long time…

To find Tai Yin, she would likely have to confront the First Emperor, Lotus Concubine Tai Sui.

“Whoosh—!!!”

As Lian Xing pondered, three figures landed behind her.

Moonwalker, the Third Guardian, a deer woman in a white wedding dress, surrounded by swirling clouds.

Cold Moon, the Fourth Guardian, a blue-haired woman in an icy blue evening gown.

And Inverse Time, the Second Guardian, a purple-haired woman in a long court dress, a clock face in her eyes.

Lian Xing turned around with a smile, sensing their powerful auras.

She had witnessed the strength of a Myriad-Level Ancient Species, the terrifying aura of a molted Fallen Species, and the dazzling brilliance of a Shining Species’ eruption, but she had yet to face a high-ranking Guardian.

However, she had heard from Moonwalker that in Star Goddess’s lineup, Seven King Mother was first, Inverse Time second, the Ancient Species third, and Drought only fourth.

She was quite interested in the Guardians’ strength…

And the fact that all three were mature, attractive women made her even more excited, though they seemed to harbor no hostility towards her.

Cold Moon frowned, asking, “Lian Xing, you have a Fallen Species in your lineup. Have you noticed any conflicts?”

“For example, has your Shining Rabbit’s aura weakened…?”

Lian Xing blinked in surprise.

Cold Moon had hit the mark.

After Golden Leaf’s Fallen evolution, the Shining Rabbit’s Triple Awakening had become unstable, as if it might vanish at any moment.

The Eleventh Zodiac’s residual aura had also weakened.

“Lian Xing, be careful. Your Shining Moonlight Rabbit might regress during battle.”

“After Drought fell, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother’s Triple Awakening was instantly shattered.”

“Oh…” Lian Xing replied indifferently.

Seeing her casual attitude, Inverse Time and Cold Moon were taken aback.

Did she not believe them?

Lian Xing waved her hand dismissively.

“If Triple Awakening vanishes, I’ll just evolve the Shining Moonlight Rabbit to Emperor-Tier to compensate.”

“I never intended to rely on external power. Triple Awakening isn’t mine to begin with. If it’s gone, it’s gone~~~”

“…”

“…”

Silence fell.

Inverse Time and Cold Moon exchanged shocked glances.

Since Lian Xing’s arrival, many had considered her a replacement for Star Goddess. After all, her appearance and style were more fitting than Heavenly Maiden’s.

Though her twin buns were a bit… frivolous…

Star Goddess wouldn’t have such a silly hairstyle.

However, in this moment—

Lian Xing’s casual words deeply moved Inverse Time.

Could Star Goddess, if she were alive, speak so casually?

Could she so easily abandon the immense power of Triple Awakening?

Probably not…

Lian Xing’s unintentional display of aptitude as a Beast Tamer was perhaps even more dazzling and impressive than Star Goddess’s.

Even with her complex emotions, Inverse Time had to acknowledge Lian Xing’s brilliance.

Glancing at the equally stunned Cold Moon and the beaming Moonwalker, Inverse Time sighed and turned to leave.

Cold Moon was likely comparing Lian Xing to her former master, Ice Queen…

Seconds later, Inverse Time vanished.

Cold Moon, snapping out of her daze, shook her head silently, then left with the perpetually dazed Heavenly Maiden.

The battlefield became quiet.

As Starlight Never Diminishes, Moon Eternal controlled the falling Cold Moon Palace, Lian Xing snapped her fingers, restoring the trillions of beings and their Pet Essence.

With Drought defeated and its Fallen Pet Essence dissipated, Unbreakable Heaven’s Ring effortlessly restored Cold Moon Palace to its original state, gaining a massive amount of experience.

Then, Lian Xing met Moonwalker’s tender, suggestive gaze.

After this battle, Lian Xing had fulfilled multiple Married Pet Beast agreements.

The Shining Rabbit reaching Monarch-Tier.

The Shining Rabbit’s revival, allowing a fair 1v4 “scoring.”

Herself becoming an Emperor-Tier Beast Tamer.

Now, at the pinnacle of the Pet Beast World, she could finally focus on producing heirs.

Though only seventeen, Lian Xing was curious about the forbidden fruit.

Having reached Emperor-Tier, she had nothing to fear!

She couldn’t wait to use her flawless body to “teach” her Married Pet Beasts a lesson, establishing the proper hierarchy.

However…

Just as Moonwalker was about to carry Lian Xing home, her phone rang.

“Hello!?”

“…”

“…”

Seconds later, Moonwalker’s expression turned serious.

***

Earth, Beast Taming Evolution Duel.

With Snow Flower and Golden Leaf’s rampage, the Divine Machine, hidden within the server, was on the verge of collapse.

Maps, dungeons, rewards, UI, the server itself—all data was vanishing, her four years of hard work about to be undone.

When Storm had accidentally entered the game, destroying a major city, it had taken the Divine Machine six months to repair the damage.

Now, Snow Flower and Golden Leaf’s destruction was even more devastating, nearly flattening the entire Beast Taming Evolution Duel.

“What’s happening!? Why!?”

“My players can’t defeat a Fallen Species!”

“This is only the fourth anniversary. How can they possibly defeat a Fallen Emperor? According to my calculations, they should only reach that level by the tenth anniversary!”

“Even the NPCs can’t win!!!”

“No choice. I have to activate the final measure…”

After a frantic internal monologue, the near-insane Divine Machine finally decided to go all out.

But this action was irreversible.

And it would reveal a critical bug.

The three main evolutionary paths, and some of the Legends, within Beast Taming Evolution Duel were fake!

Yes, the other Pet Beasts were real.

But Shining Species, Ancient Species, and some of the seventy-two Legends were fake.

The Divine Machine had orchestrated their evolution, making players believe they could truly evolve Ancient and Shining Species.

But in reality, they were just lines of code…

If all players’ Pet Beasts were brought into reality, the Ancient and Shining Species would regress.

And over half of the Legends wouldn’t even exist.

However, for some reason, about a year ago, a player had evolved a true Ancient Species.

The Divine Machine had immediately removed it from the game to maintain balance.

With the First Emperor in the Moon Soul World, that Ancient Species wouldn’t have caused much trouble anyway.

“No choice. I have to use the final measure—”

“Beast Taming Evolution Duel, activate!!!”

With the Divine Machine’s cry, all players, online or offline, anyone registered in the game, vanished from Earth.

Chaos erupted!

Meanwhile, in a region of Cloud Mist Sea in the Moon Soul World, players began to appear out of thin air.

As they opened their eyes, the game UI was gone, only their Pet Beast panels remaining.

99.9999% of the Beast Tamers’ lineups were unchanged. Only those with Ancient and Shining Species, and most Legend Beast Tamers, saw their lineups incomplete.

Billions of female players looked around the massive crowd in confusion.

What… the hell?

Another bug?

Why was the UI gone?

It was as if they had truly entered the game world from the holographic simulation.

Of course, most were horrified.

A bug?

Bug my ass!!!

Being dragged into a game while shopping or attending school… what kind of bug could do that?

Some had even quit the game years ago! Could they still be pulled back in?

As everyone panicked, a girl opened the few remaining maps in the system.

A large map with various markings appeared.

She clicked on the prominent mixed light spot in the Cold Moon Palace region.

[Star Concubine · Lian Xing]

[Coordinates—Cold Moon Palace]

[Cold Moon Palace: Territory of the Fourth Guardian, Cold Moon.]

The girl froze.

“Huh!?”

“Lian Xing…?”

“Isn’t that the streamer who died a year ago!?”
