Chapter 471: The Little Boy

After Slaying the Flying Overlord, a sharp glint flashed in Jiugui's eyes.

"The only pity is that Chigui has been severely wounded; I fear it will take a long time for him to recover."

Jiugui's status is special; he is a member of the Lone Walkers, and not even a low-level one at that.

The reason he came to this world was to make contact with another organization and pull that organization into their camp.

His Contracted Beast is his Camouflage and part of his strength, but he trusts his own power more.

"It is time to finish off the others and welcome the God Descent!"

This world is named the Beast Master Great World, where being a Beast Master is the mainstream.

Other systems, though they have their own inheritances, cannot compare to Beast Masters.

Only Beast Masters attain high positions.

The Beast Master system is also easier than other systems; one only needs to hone their mental power and contract Pet Beasts with potential.

Advancement in other systems is extremely difficult.

"I hope the ancient god... can give me a pleasant surprise!"

Jiugui's strength has not advanced for ten years; if not for the education he received from childhood, he would have wanted to switch entirely to being a Beast Master.

The ancient god Pale Pupil gave Jiugui hope for advancement.

According to information within the organization, ancient gods were powerful individuals in the ancient era, and like them, they walked the path of strengthening themselves.

"Jiugui, you actually finished off the Flying Overlord."

Beneath the Reception Platform, the Martial Artist panted heavily, looking at Jiugui with an expression of disbelief.

The Doctor and Gulang also looked at Jiugui with a trace of suspicion.

The Flying Overlord was an Overlord Peak powerhouse, and not just an ordinary Overlord Peak at that.

Jiugui's strength is greater than theirs, but not by much.

As a result, Jiugui not only quickly finished off the Flying Overlord but also came to support them; how could they not be surprised?

"Who doesn't have a few trump cards, right?" Jiugui said with a chuckle.

The Martial Artist looked at Jiugui, his gaze becoming even more solemn.

At this moment, the Empress, who had been silent all along, spoke: "Since all enemies have been dealt with, let us quickly bring about the God Descent to avoid people from the Imperial Palace coming to disrupt our plans."

The people present also agreed one after another, no longer dwelling on it.

Everyone began to conduct the God Descent.

The God's Fire on the Reception Platform became even more brilliant and bright.

A majestic aura gathered at this moment.

The five of them looked excited; this was their first time working for an ancient god.

Now that they are God Servants, if they do not work for the ancient god, they face the threat of death.

In a distant corner, Yaoyue, dressed in purple, hid in the shadows.

Previously, when several Beast Masters from the Qi Family attacked the Swallowing Whale Trial Ground, she had taken advantage of the chaos to enter the Trial Ground.

Not finding Yu Yaonu, she hid far away from the Reception Platform.

She wanted to see who exactly was playing god and acting the devil with this so-called ancient god.

Now, as the God's Fire flickered and grew more brilliant, even Yaoyue felt a trace of alarm.

"It seems this ancient god has some tricks up his sleeve." She could not help but worry for Yu Yaonu.

She believed that with herself and the powerhouses of the Imperial Palace, she could suppress the ancient god.

But Yu Yaonu, who was deeply entangled with the ancient god, would not find it easy to escape and might even face death.

"I will take a look at what kind of sacred being this ancient god is before I leave." Yaoyue had originally intended to suppress the ancient god herself.

But she discovered that the ancient god was more powerful than she had imagined.

So she decided to take a look at the ancient god, understand his origins, and then make plans.

The God's Fire grew increasingly vigorous, and the sky over the entire Jinghai City was dyed red by the flames.

The rest of the Qi Family, seeing the appearance of the Heavenly Vault, could not help but worry for their ancestor.

Of course, they did not know that their ancestor had actually already fallen.

In Jinghai City, all the Swallowing Whales became restless, their eyes turning scarlet.

Yaoyue, hiding nearby, also smelled a trace of a dangerous aura.

But she was not afraid in the slightest.

Since ancient times, how many powerhouses have harbored the delusion of challenging the authority of the Three Palaces, only to be suppressed one and all?

To repel external aggression, one must first ensure internal stability; these troublemakers only dare to scurry about like insects, unable to threaten the foundation of the Three Palaces, but they are capable of being disgusting.

As blood-red color permeated the air, Jiugui and the others looked at the Heavenly Vault with increasingly respectful expressions.

That blood-red color exerted endless pressure on them; I fear that even if a Mythical-level Beast Master came here, the pressure would be no more than this.

The sea of blood churned.

Suddenly, the God's Fire extinguished.

Clang, clang, clang...

Above the Heavenly Vault, chains as thick as tall buildings extended from the horizon.

The chains were stained with blood and possessed the vast aura of the ancient era.

Seeing those chains, Yaoyue's expression changed drastically: "Could it really be an ancient god?"

In an instant, the chains intertwined, and a rift appeared in the Heavenly Vault.

A gigantic pupil emerged from the rift.

It was as if the Heavenly Vault had opened its eyes to gaze upon all things in the world.

This scene was extremely terrifying.

Yaoyue, however, felt a great sense of crisis; she felt that those eyes were locked onto her, her entire body's Yuan Power was sealed and could not be circulated at all, nor could she use her Pet Beast to do anything.

"It is actually a true Ancient God... how could an Ancient God be resurrected!"

Yaoyue was bewildered!

Were Ancient Gods not all slaughtered by that terrifying enemy and turned into War Puppets?

How could there still be surviving Ancient Gods!

This was an unprecedented event!

"Greetings, Ancient God Venerable!"

"Greetings, Ancient God Venerable!"

When the Ancient God Pale Pupil fully descended, the five people present knelt respectfully on the ground.

They had already signed a contract with the Ancient God and become the Ancient God's servants.

Seeing the Ancient God, they were naturally filled with immense awe.

The Ancient God Pale Pupil descended, its massive pupils devoid of any emotional color, yet everyone could still perceive that the Ancient God Pale Pupil seemed to be expressing joy.

"Eat..."

A ripple of intent emanated from the giant pupils, chains clattered, and an invisible sound wave swept through.

Everyone present felt a monstrous aura permeate the air, and all felt as if they were candles in the wind, seemingly about to be extinguished the next moment.

They saw the entire Swallowing Whale Trial Ground, where countless Swallowing Whales let out painful howls.

One by one, the hill-like bodies of the Swallowing Whales burst open, and countless blood splattered.

The entire Swallowing Whale Trial Ground was covered in blood and shredded meat.

Tens of thousands of Swallowing Whales were all reduced to fragments in an instant.

This method left Jiugui and the others shocked.

Even if a Mythical being descended, it would absolutely be unable to cause all the fierce beasts in the trial ground to die in an instant.

Yaoyue trembled all over; she also felt a sense of crisis.

This kind of method was definitely above the Mythical level.

With the current strength of the Imperial Palace in the Nanhuang Realm, it was impossible to deal with this Ancient God.

She felt a thick sense of crisis, but she also felt that she was locked in place and could not leave at all.

All the Swallowing Whales exploded, and a few bloodshot lines appeared in the pupils of the Ancient God Pale Pupil.

The bloodshot lines were like earthworms, yet they contained great terror.

"Hungry... hungry..."

The Ancient God Pale Pupil let out an unconscious murmur.

Clearly, the Pet Beasts of this trial ground alone could not satisfy the demands of the Ancient God Pale Pupil.

Jiugui hurriedly knelt: "Venerable, our strength is humble; for now, we can only take this trial ground to sacrifice to the Venerable."

Gulang and the others also knelt, saying the same words as Jiugui.

The Ancient God Pale Pupil made no move at this moment; it hung in the sky, not knowing what it was doing.

Jiugui's expression changed slightly; he roughly guessed what the Ancient God Pale Pupil wanted, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Divine Minister has been delayed by something and will likely need a little time to arrive."

He was also very anxious, not expecting that Lord Divine Minister would take so long and still not have arrived.

Unexpectedly, the Ancient God Pale Pupil was not enraged, seemingly waiting quietly for the Divine Minister.

Seeing this scene, Jiugui and the others were all surprised.

The difference in how the Ancient God Pale Pupil treated them versus the Divine Minister was too great.

Could it be that the Divine Minister had some special quality?

At the same time, in the hot spring, countless Water mist permeated and rose.

A transparent Crystal Coffin slowly formed.

Inside the Crystal Coffin, Yu Yaonu's clothing was half-slipped, and the Water reflections rippled, revealing a graceful and elegant figure.

Her snow-white skin was like the silkiest satin in the world.

Her shoulders were as if carved, her waist as if bound by plain silk, delicate and tender white, a willow-like waist that could be held in one's palm; whoever grasped it would be reluctant to let go, living up to the name Yaonu.

At this moment, Yu Yaonu's brows were tightly furrowed, revealing a painful expression.

She seemed to be having a nightmare again.

However, after a few dozen breaths, a mass of Water vapor slowly formed in front of her.

Yu Yaonu's hand grasped something, and the sorrow between her brows slowly dissipated.

That pain slowly faded away.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Yu Yaonu finally woke up leisurely.

Her eyes went through confusion and astonishment, then suddenly became joyful.

"This is..."

She saw that in her arms, a little boy of seven or eight years old was lying.

The little boy had handsome features, his eyes closed, snuggled in Yu Yaonu's arms.

Yu Yaonu looked at the boy's familiar brows and eyes, a look of surprise appearing in her eyes.

"It's him!"

That's right, the face of this little boy was exactly the person she dreamed of day and night.

She had nightmares every day, and only that little boy was the place where her heart found peace.

"Wake up." Yu Yaonu looked at the little boy, her heart filled with excitement and endless tenderness.

She held the little boy close, terrified that he might vanish, but even more afraid that this was all a dream.

However, the little boy showed no sign of waking up at all.

Yu Yaonu already understood that this little boy was the first Pet Beast she had contracted, and there was a very high probability that he was the one who had brought her to ascend the Imperial Heaven Staircase.

Her heart was both moved and puzzled.

Looking at that little boy, her gaze was filled with endless tenderness.

Are there humanoid Pet Beasts in this world?

There have never been.

However, she could only bury this doubt deep in her heart.

The fact that she could summon her Pet Beast now was already a tremendous surprise to her.

"The vitality is still insufficient, so... I can only summon him, but I cannot..."

Yu Yaonu was not foolish; she understood the reason.

Therefore, she needed more vitality.

Holding the little boy, Yu Yaonu felt an endless sense of peace.

However, seeing her clothes half-torn and revealing quite a bit of skin, she felt a little shy.

She changed into a new set of clothes and summoned the little boy back into the Beast Space.

The Crystal Coffin also vanished instantly, entering the Beast Space.

Yu Yaonu's heart became empty once again.

"Who... exactly is he?"

Yu Yaonu knew this was the first Pet Beast she had contracted.

But she also felt it was not that simple.

He was not like an ordinary Pet Beast.

Leaving the hot spring, Yu Yaonu's dark hair was dripping with Water, like a goddess emerging from the pool.

She looked up at the sky and immediately saw the chains spanning the entire Trial Ground.

A look of wariness flashed in her eyes: "The Ancient God has come."

"Greetings to the Ancient God!"

Before the Reception Platform, Yu Yaonu's figure appeared.

She faced the Ancient God Cang Tong with a respectful attitude.

After all, she did not understand the Ancient God Cang Tong, but she understood that the Ancient God Cang Tong determined her life and death.

The Ancient God Cang Tong's massive eyes landed on Yu Yaonu, and then a cold voice echoed throughout the entire Trial Ground.

"Reward..."

Hearing this, Jiugui immediately revealed a look of wild joy.

At the same time, he was also somewhat puzzled as to why the Ancient God Cang Tong had waited for the Divine Envoy to arrive before rewarding them.

Was the Divine Envoy really just an inspector?

Did he have a deeper connection with the Ancient God Cang Tong?

Everyone prostrated on the ground, waiting for the Ancient God Cang Tong's reward.

But at this moment, the chains of the Ancient God Cang Tong suddenly moved.

Just then, a woman dressed in purple fell from the sky and landed in front of the crowd.

Seeing the person who arrived, Jiugui's expression changed slightly.

"Ancient God, please spare my life! It was our negligence that allowed someone to sneak into the Trial Ground and disturb the Ancient God!" Jiugui hurriedly pushed the blame onto himself.

Yaoyue was currently restrained, and looking at the Ancient God, she knew she could not escape, so she couldn't help but ask: "Are you really an Ancient God?"

Yu Yaonu looked at Yaoyue, her expression tightening.

She had not expected Yaoyue to appear here.

And to be captured by the Ancient God.

Yaoyue was currently in a very critical situation, with her life in danger.

Yaoyue had helped Yu Yaonu many times before, and one could even say she had saved Yu Yaonu's life.

If Yaoyue hadn't helped drive away the green flowers, it would have been difficult for Yu Yaonu to resolve the situation back then.

Yu Yaonu was anxious inside, pondering how to save Yaoyue.

However, to Yu Yaonu's surprise, the Ancient God Cang Tong did not directly Slay Yaoyue, but instead...

The Ancient God Cang Tong spanned across the Heavenly Vault, his eyes ruthless.

A wisp of energy landed on Yaoyue; clearly, the Ancient God Cang Tong had also signed a contract with Yaoyue.

Yaoyue had also become a divine servant of the Ancient God Cang Tong.

However, Yaoyue did not show fear like Jiugui and the others; instead, she looked at the Ancient God Cang Tong with interest: "I have long been accustomed to life and death; this kind of contract cannot restrict me at all.

What... exactly are you?"

Yaoyue was very bold.

Indeed, Yaoyue had long experienced life and death, or rather, she was someone who had died many times.

She had long since cast aside all concern for life and death.

The only thing she could not let go of was the Beast World.

Facing such a terrifying enemy, could the Beast World successfully defend itself?

The Ancient God Pale Pupil ignored Yaoyue.

It represented destruction and possessed no real emotional color.

"Reward..."

The Ancient God Pale Pupil spoke again, and Jiugui and the others breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for the Ancient God Pale Pupil's reward.

Jiugui's face showed anticipation; he was very curious about what the Ancient God Pale Pupil would reward them with.

Clang, clang...

The chains shook once more.

From within the eyes of the Ancient God Pale Pupil, a black light filled with the aura of death erupted.

Jiugui's expression changed drastically.

That black light was too dangerous; he even felt that the Ancient God Pale Pupil was not rewarding them, but killing them.

Everyone present had this same feeling.

They did not understand why the Ancient God Pale Pupil wanted to kill them.

The black light landed upon their bodies, yet the scene they had anticipated did not occur.

Instead, under the erosion of the black light, several wisps of red light suddenly escaped from within everyone's bodies.

It was as if that red light had been hidden inside their bodies and had now been forced out by the black light.

An expression of disbelief appeared on Yaoyue's face: "Red Pupil!"

How could there be Red Pupil inside their bodies!
