Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 1606 - 449: Inspector Token (Double-Length, Countdown to Finale: 1)

[Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch Mo Xi Xi Xi Xi for the reward!]

Lin Su slowly opened his eyes.

His memory still lingered on the moment of unsealing the Contract Position seal, at the instant of dying a natural death on Blue Star.

According to his previous experiences of crossing realms, he should be appearing in Shenwu right now, at the location where he fell into slumber, a minute after Yong Zun delayed time for him.

However, what unfolded before his eyes was not the expected scene a minute ago in Shenwu, but a sight so awe-inspiring that it made Lin Su instantly forget fear, forget tension, forget everything.

Indescribable hues filled the boundless expanse before him.

The colors were void and silent, yet grand and limitless.

Amid these vast hues existed countless domains as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, constantly being born and extinguished, in a cycle of endless life.

In just the moment Lin Su observed, many domains comparable in scale to the once mighty Blue Star quietly dimmed, seemingly experiencing billions of years in an instant, along with the living beings within, returning to eternal extinction.

Countless other domains, in that single instant, saw life sprout to birth beings not inferior to the immortal level, developing diverse civilizations.

There were also domains where figures of strength surpassing the immortal level emerged, yet these formidable entities, who seemed invincible within their own domains, appeared as hesitant and cautious as children once they stepped out of them.

Such beings were significantly fewer compared to the former; in Lin Su's brief observation, only three emerged.

Among them, one creature closest to Lin Su perceived his gaze during its emergence, returning a glance filled with gravity and unprecedented vigilance, as if Lin Su were a primordial beast.

This peculiar experience was unprecedented for Lin Su.

For a moment, he was immersed and somewhat entranced.

Until a sound reached his ears, jolting Lin Su awake.

He turned his head, casting his gaze beside him.

He saw two creatures very close to him.

One was a being with an indistinct outline and facial features, yet Lin Su intuitively felt it was a female presence, embodying all worldly beauty.

Her body was thin as a shadow, and Lin Su instantly sensed her true form had perished, leaving behind only a remnant of power, which was nearing its end.

As Lin Su's gaze reached her, the remnant being seemed to smile at him, carrying a hint of goodwill.

The other being had a humanoid form, entirely composed of some ghostly blue crystal, giving it the appearance of a crystal sculpture, every inch perfectly proportioned.

As Lin Su's gaze fell upon the ghostly blue crystals composing its form, a massive wave of shock surged within him.

That is... the Ghost Energy Stone!

This was a living being entirely made of Ghost Energy Stone!!

Who is it?!

What is its connection to Blue Star and Shenwu?!

Countless questions arose in Lin Su's mind, his gaze fixating on the creature's face, yet it did not return his look, instead gazing wistfully at the other fading presence.

Its mouth moved, ancient syllables resonating in the void like the rising and falling of the Dao.

"This is your last trace of the Dao, isn't it?"

"Indeed." The thin and ethereal being's voice carried a tone of cheer and warmth, "I have lived through seven hundred and forty-two chaos epochs. Even among beings in the Dao Source Realm, my lifespan is remarkably long, and being able to glimpse the scene of the Dao Realm at the end of my life is a satisfaction without regret."

"To witness an old friend's breakthrough at the moment this last trace dissipates is also a joyous occasion."

"However, I wish for you to pass the gift I gave you to that child."

"Although such a request may be somewhat excessive, my nature has always been this way, as you know." Its voice carried an added slyness.

"Alright." The being formed of the Ghost Energy Stone slowly replied, with a hint of amused exasperation.

Upon receiving the assent, the being whose outline and facial features were unclear seemed relieved, and in the next moment, it slowly vanished into the vastness, like the domains Lin Su had seen before, returning to eternal extinction.

Thus, only Lin Su and the being formed of the Ghost Energy Stone remained.

"What a pity." It sighed slightly, then finally locked eyes with Lin Su.

In the next instant, it placed a single hand slowly on the void, rising from its cross-legged position step by step towards Lin Su.

The distance between it and Lin Su gradually closed, yet it remained constant in size from Lin Su's perspective.

The unimaginable power allowed its form to transcend spatial concepts.

Finally, it stood close to Lin Su, its eyes, also glowing with ghostly blue light, reflecting a comforting expression.

"We meet again, Lin Su."

"You..." Lin Su opened his mouth, but the vast amount of information contained in its first sentence with him halted the many questions he initially had.

Why again?

"Hehe." Seeing Lin Su's bewildered expression, a playful glint appeared in the eyes of the Ghost Energy Stone being, "I almost forgot, to return something that belongs to you."

As its words fell, it seemed as if something within Lin Su's mind shattered open.
