Chapter 236 Lu Yu's Advancement! The Eye of Unity! The Metamorphosis of the Chaos Egg! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"You're eligible for a promotion!"
Lu Yu had already adjusted his mental state and took out the dark blue Primal Copper, a miraculous object born from the vast collision and purification of the Primal Spirit Sea.
It's an essential item for advancing to Morning Star!
Spiritual transformation is an extremely special stage, a transition before ascending to the Morning Star!
At this stage, one can approach the first tributary of the Supreme Mother River—the Primordial Spirit Sea.
Borrowing the power of the Mother River, we will transform into something extraordinary!
But in ancient times, this stage did not exist!
After humans awaken the Beast Taming Space, the Beast Tamer system can directly advance from the peak of the Gold rank to the Morning Star rank, enter the Primordial Spirit Sea, and give birth to stellar spiritual energy!
It may seem like there's one less hurdle, but the success rate is terrifyingly low!
One in ten thousand!
Moreover, mortals, without any preparation, directly approached the primordial spiritual sea and absorbed primordial spiritual energy.
This process is like a poor person suddenly acquiring mountains of gold and silver.
Except for a few people with strong willpower, most people will be completely overwhelmed by the temptation.
Especially at the bottom of the Primordial Spirit Sea, there are mysterious beings and mutated creatures that have been submerged for countless years. They cannot leave the Primordial Spirit Sea and can only rely on instinct to constantly lure new life into falling and merging with them, until they can enter the deeper parts of the Mother River.
Therefore, even if someone manages to advance to the Morning Star level by sheer luck, the probability of them being corrupted or distorted is very high!
In that era, many tribes' guardians, through the resources collected by countless humans, mutated after their advancement and became monsters that slaughtered everyone!
In the early days of the rise of the human race, these powerful individuals were the core force in resisting foreign races, and were extremely valuable!
In order to change this situation, the ancient sages of humanity researched various secret methods and sought spiritual treasures to increase the success rate.
Some succeeded, but at a high cost, making them difficult to promote; others failed and disappeared without a trace.
Even worse, some went directly to fleece the evil god, using poison to fight poison. The consequences of this were not just failure, but also caused deeper pollution, directly creating terrifying forbidden zones for life!
I thought this situation would continue indefinitely, but then one day...
An ancient sage noticed the advancement method of low- and mid-level monsters. Unlike high-level monsters, which have powerful bloodlines and inheritances, they can only evolve by relying on their own instincts.
Some first ignited a spark in their hearts, some devoured primordial copper in the primordial spiritual sea, transforming their spirituality, and some even only transformed half of their bodies...
This crude method is far inferior to that of higher life forms such as dragons, giants, and forest fairies, and is even scorned.
After all, if you can advance directly, why bother staying at the spiritual transformation stage?
However, these monsters who wallow in the mud and struggle to climb out, especially those who have devoured the Primal Copper and prematurely transformed their spirituality, have an absurdly high probability of advancing to the Morning Star!
This discovery inspired the ancient sages of humankind!
Since it is dangerous to go directly close to the Mother River, adding an intermediate level will not only improve strength, but also allow us to adapt to the spirituality after the transformation in advance!
Just like raising fish, you can't put the fish you buy directly into a tank with completely different water quality and temperature, or the fish will die instantly.
However, adding water little by little allows the fish to adapt to the water quality in advance, and the temperature inside the tank is changed by the water in the aquarium through the insulated fish belt.
In this way, the survival rate is greatly improved!
After numerous experiments, the transformation of primordial copper into spirituality was identified as the optimal option. After its widespread adoption, the success rate of humans advancing to the Morning Star level was reduced from less than one in ten thousand to one in a hundred!
The number of human warriors who advanced to the Morning Star level increased more than a hundredfold. The more promising talents there were, the more Beastmasters could advance to the Radiant Moon and Eternal Sun levels.
This also foreshadowed the later Star Expedition by the human race to drive out the monsters!
Some advanced races merely took a nap, and after decades or even centuries, they discovered that... these previously unnoticed human ants had already become a threat to them!
Apart from a few races that remain closed off from the world, all other intelligent life forms have a desire to become stronger!
They began to study the stages of spiritual transformation, and were not only amazed by human wisdom, but also by the discovery that adding this stage would...
Not only can its strength overwhelm ordinary peak gold level beings, but it can also unlock the potential of a life, laying a strong foundation for subsequent advancement!
Except for a few monsters, those who advance in this way will be stronger than ordinary Morning Star rank!
Therefore, more races began to learn the methods of spiritual transformation and advancement, and over time, these became recognized ranks.
It has even been imprinted into the rules of the world!
Because it did not involve any taboos, this history was passed down orally and preserved.
"Everything is in a state of development. Not everything is more powerful the older it is; on the contrary, it needs constant innovation."
For example, today's beast tamers, after systematic experience training, have an average skill level that is definitely higher than before, and their methods of raising pets are also better, even with more perfect evolutionary paths.
However, the supreme beings are not included in this category. After all, they hold authority, which is equivalent to occupying the source of water. Moreover, it will not dry up, but will generate more power as time goes by.
For example, in the last few hundred years, technological civilization has developed rapidly, giving birth to countless terrifying weapons that suppress many monsters. However, if we were to face the Supreme Gear, this evil god would have the ability to render technological civilization ineffective. At that point, all mechanical equipment would be scrapped and would be no better than scrap metal.
The reason why the Mechanical King Domain wants to create perfect life and researches the molten oil is to break through these limitations. Truly, one must live to old age and keep scheming until the very end…”
Lu Yu sighed, not too worried. After all, even those who are supreme don't worry about falling behind and being beaten, let alone someone who possesses a forbidden rank!
As Lu Yu's strength increased, his understanding of the Eye of Truth became clearer; the information it displayed was only limited by his own strength.
It won't present false content, but it will lack information!
When driven by sufficient psychic energy, the Eye of Truth can see all information about the past, present, and future.
The eye of the One who unites all things!
From his own pseudo-forbidden characteristics, it can be inferred that forbidden existences cannot be buried, possess uniqueness, and hold the power to alter everything...
The rules themselves are just toys they can manipulate at will. At worst, they can reshape the world after it's destroyed, and they won't bother with such trivial matters.
Lu Yu's thoughts flowed, his spirituality spreading, and he actively made contact with the primordial bronze.
hum!
The original cyan-gold spiritual energy was instantly tinged with a layer of dark blue light, like the starry sky.
The primordial copper acts as a catalyst, infecting itself through highly concentrated primordial spirituality, simulating a higher dimension infecting a lower dimension, but in a gentler way!
Use 1 to leverage 100 or even 1000 units of psionic energy!
Rumble!
Within the Beast Taming Space, the originally ethereal, misty spiritual energy began to gather and accumulate, transforming into droplets of water that shimmered like stars in the sky.
Before the surging spirituality could run rampant, it was suppressed and easily controlled by the [Master of the Gate]'s status.
However, because Lu Yu's spiritual energy far surpasses that of others of the same level, although he has the advantages of being able to fight for a long time and keep his Eye of Truth open for a long time, the price he needs is three or four times that of others.
It took a full half hour for all the spiritual energy in Lu Yu's Beast Taming Space to transform into starlight droplets.
After being highly condensed, the total amount of psionic energy remains the same, but the utilization rate has doubled!
Once they reach the Morning Star level, they will gather together to form a Starlight Lake, and can leverage the power of nature to greatly increase the power of their skills!
"But what I'm making, I should call it a sea of stars..."
After gazing at the vast expanse of stars, Lu Yu soon faced another problem.
What exactly is the spark in his soul?
A spark of inspiration is a reflection of the soul.
Some people are greedy for money, some are lustful, some yearn to challenge the strong, and some are even obsessed with something—all of these can ignite this spark!
Essentially, it's about elevating one's will, defining one's own path, and thereby harnessing increasingly powerful spiritual energy!
That's why Zhou Cheng said, "Beast Tamers are all a bunch of madmen," because they will stubbornly follow their own path and firmly adhere to their own beliefs.
To achieve it, we will stop at nothing!
That's absolutely insane!
Although Lu Yu has the help of the [Master of the Gate], which allows him to suppress all spiritual energy anomalies, but...
To become a true powerhouse, you need the right mindset!
Otherwise, he'll always be just an idiot!
"Then what is my path?" Lu Yu pondered.
Greedy?
Protecting your family?
The center of attention?
To crush everyone who stands in your way?
Harvesting leeks?
Sorrow?
still is……
"Live on!" Lu Yu murmured softly, his voice firm and resolute.
His wish was simple: to live and see the scenery above the stars with his pet beast!
Because they are afraid of death and the pain of separation from loved ones, they strive to become immortal!
such as……
Forbidden!
Click!
The moment the thought was born, Lu Yu felt a tingling sensation in his mind, and a blazing, illusory spark ignited in his heart!
If other people saw this, they would probably exclaim "Holy crap!" on the spot!
Normal people are like strands or threads, but Lu Yu is like a clump!
However, if his ambition were made public, it would seem perfectly natural. An ant, not even reaching the dawn, yearns to become taboo!
That's a real madman!
"The world... is becoming clearer!"
After the spark of the mind was born, Lu Yu's thinking speed, calculation ability, and control over psionic energy were greatly enhanced!
It's like having an extra low-end version of the permanent buff of Mindfulness!
My perception of all things has become clearer, and I can feel the vast natural power flowing through the world!
Just a little bit more and we'll be able to pry them open and use them!
"If spiritual transformation is like this, I wonder how the world appears to the true kings?"
Lu Yu was amazed. Then, using the Spirit Refining Technique that Lilith had obtained by sacrificing her beauty, he integrated a large number of starlight droplets into his Beast Taming Space, transforming them into a dazzling array of stars.
Rumble!
The Beast Taming Space expanded dramatically again, this time by half. The rate of decomposing primordial spiritual energy increased once more, and the concentration of spiritual energy within the space reached an even higher level.
Now, a pet that stays inside for one year is equivalent to six years in the outside world, allowing some pets with longer growth cycles to quickly reach adulthood.
However, there is an upper limit, which depends on the pet's own talent and the tamer's training!
Excellent training methods can transcend racial limitations!
The mouse saw the changes in the Beast Taming Space and exclaimed in amazement:
"Cultivator, I feel like even if my testicles grew to the size of a mountain and were placed inside your body, I wouldn't have to worry about them bursting!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shushu saw Lu Yu's knuckles cracking, and quickly changed the subject:
"Quickly sense what changes have occurred in the Beast Taming Space?"
Lu Yu glanced at it and said calmly:
"Right now, it only accelerates the growth rate of the pet beasts and the concentration of spiritual energy. After advancing to the Morning Star level, the Beast Taming Space will become active, and we can plant some flowers and plants to build a simple ecological cycle. Slaved beasts can also be taken in through the enslavement mark or the mother nest."
At that time, the Beast Taming Space can be separated and integrated into some smaller planes to create "Relics," leaving behind a legacy or hoping for resurrection.
However, I've heard that the Beast Taming Space of the Eternal Sun is comparable to a minor plane, even possessing its own manifested rules, and may even forcibly replace the world's consciousness.
"Truly worthy of being an ancient giant!"
The mouse, filled with longing, asked curiously:
"After you advance to the Morning Star rank, are you going to use the extra slots to contract the Red Hare?"
Lu Yu shook his head and, under the mouse's puzzled gaze, explained:
"Not only that, but once the Morning Star rank begins, the number of contract slots will no longer increase by one per major rank, but rather one slot will be available for each minor rank. From the initial to the peak of the Morning Star rank, there will be a total of four more contract slots, and there will be even more contract slots in the Radiant Moon rank."
However, the key to good pets is quality. More doesn't necessarily mean better. After all, resources and energy are limited. Poorly trained pets are just cannon fodder and a burden. Therefore, most pet tamers choose to focus on training a few pets that fit their own needs, at most 6-8, as the core of their first team, while the rest are trained in a second team.
Even with the Beastmaster system, the most they would choose are hero units born from contracted beasts, using them to control the beast horde and make them as easy to command as an extension of their own limbs.
The more hero units there are, the higher the intelligence of the beast horde will be. For example, Situ Kong's contracted pets include Insect General and Insect Scholar, which means that his beast taming space is very large, and it is very likely that a small-scale Thunder-Eating Insect Dynasty has been born.
Within it, the rudiments of order and civilization were born; even if he subsequently neglected them, the swarm could become self-sufficient and even expand further.
At this point, Lu Yu also admired the coffee machine's human pillar.
Despite having only ordinary talent and without the support of a family, he managed to cultivate and evolve an ordinary little thunder bug into the now-famous Thunder-Eating Bug that is renowned throughout the border regions, solely through his own abilities.
Devouring thunderclouds, transforming into a thunderstorm!
As expected, there are no useless pets, only useless beast tamers!
"Then will Spider Sister become the Spider Queen in the future?" Mouse exclaimed, feeling extremely envious.
To rule a tribe and have the power of life and death—that sounds so cool!
Unlike its rat clone, which spends all its time thinking about forming a guild and overthrowing the wise and mighty Rat Emperor!
"Huh?" Egg was not interested in this at all, and was just waiting for the rice.
It has more faith in its own strength!
If you want servants, you can use the power of crimson to corrupt and transform them, but... what's the point of raising a bunch of miscellaneous fish?
Is it for grain reserves?
The little spider imagined Situ Kong sweeping everything away with lightning speed, its expression filled with longing. It waved its little fist and said:
"Waaaaah!"
I will strive to become stronger and protect my master!
The mouse was dumbfounded. Just chatting with Sister Spider required building up favorability? That was too much! It quickly replied:
"Me too!"
"Okay, I'll wait for that day!"
Lu Yu patted the little spider and the mouse on the head, but there was something else he didn't say.
That means he has already ignited the spark in his soul, transformed his spirituality, and only needs to enter the Mother River to successfully perform the ceremony and ascend to the Morning Star!
But this is how ordinary people get promoted!
Geniuses from top-tier families possess complete lineages and can obtain numerous benefits through special rituals and secret procedures, thereby laying a stronger foundation and enhancing their talents.
In the past, Lu Yu wouldn't have cared; he could advance ahead and use his level to intimidate others!
The tactic of bullying the weak!
However, after experiencing the benefits of the Primal Ascension Fruit and obtaining the [Primal Starry Sky Flesh Field] and the method to make Star Blood Potion, one can convert their own spiritual energy into Primal Star Spiritual Energy.
It's like God is chasing after us to feed us!
If you do not accept what Heaven has given you, you will suffer the consequences!
Lu Yu also wants to master the power of the primordial starry sky!
Thinking of this, he began to sort out his gains after the promotion. The first was naturally the Beast Taming Space, and the second was the changes in the Mother River.
Simply by releasing his senses, Lu Yu could clearly feel the thousands of whispering calls!
If the mother river was just a stone's throw away before, now... it's practically crawling in!
I can't wait to drag him in, fill him with primal spiritual energy, and achieve a leap in his life level!
"No, no!"
However, Lu Yu refused, since he only had the corresponding rank. Even if his soul did not mutate, his body would become a strange and bizarre thing if it entered the spiritual sea.
In addition, his spiritual puzzle ship has also undergone some changes, but we'll have to wait until it enters the Mother River to verify them!
"Judging by the time, the Black Tide of the Cursed Beast Realm is almost here!"
Lu Yu thought of the small world he had obtained through the Boundary Gate, and it was from that time that he had snatched a lot of Primal Copper from the Aberrant.
Before he left, he used the power of the Spirit King's Curse Thread to bury two chess pieces inside.
Furthermore, based on the flow of time, the small world will encounter the Black Tide in a little over a month in the real world.
It's only a few days away from starting!
Enter the game after the college entrance exam, defeat several curse kings, find the source of the moon's mutation, and help the little spider condense legendary skills.
If you can't make it in time because of the college entrance exam, or if the situation is too complicated, then wait a while longer, until the next round or even the round after that of the Kuroshio!
What if all the chess pieces are gone?
Then let's start over. Anyway, he has plenty of time and can wait!
At this moment, Lu Yu seemed to possess the arrogance of a higher-dimensional being who uses time to manipulate all living beings!
"The final harvest is the seed of the law!"
Lu Yu activated the [Shepherd] spiritual puzzle, glanced at it, and muttered to himself with a strange expression:
"Although Lilith said that the Seed of Law can only use a portion of its power during spiritual transformation, and can only give birth to a [Domain] at the Morning Star level, sweeping away opponents of the same level, but..."
"Why am I, this seed, only growing taller?!"
The ranch had doubled in size and was becoming increasingly realistic, with fences burning with silver flames anchored in the void, sealing everything off.
The Chaos Egg at the center had grown to three meters tall, surrounded by chaotic energy, and its breath emitted a mysterious rhythm that suppressed the entire ranch.
Apart from that, nothing has changed!
It did not hatch into an unknown life form, nor did it give birth to a special "Law of Man".
Although Lu Yu also likes big ones, he can't exactly carry a Chaos Egg into battle in the future, can he?
"Woof woof woof!" Every day, it happily circled around the dog, which had grown quite a bit bigger than before.
"Meow~"
As for the black goat, it lowered its head even further, kept eating grass, but its body trembled uncontrollably, showing its inner fear!
It can see more in its field of vision!
That was an overwhelming terror!
"No, things have changed too!"
After studying it for a long time, Lu Yu finally chose to connect with the Chaos Egg through his mind. He quickly received feedback, and his smile gradually became arrogant:
"If I use this ability... won't it make that Seed of Law cry?"
Five thousand three chapters. I'm celebrating an elder's birthday and I'm exhausted after a whole day of work. Please vote for me!
