Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 1612 - 450: The Grand Finale

[Thanks to Alliance Hierarch o Dao Ancestor Hong Jun for the reward!]

"Upon breaking through to the Taoist Domain Realm, I will leave this place."

After handing the patrol token to Lin Su, a smile appeared on Shou's face.

"I stayed here merely to await your awakening, to witness the completion of the new Tao Realm's transformation."

"Now you have fully inherited the Tao Realm I once had, and its splendor has been renewed."

"Meanwhile, my new Tao Realm has transformed into the Taoist Domain, allowing me to step into the Taoist Domain Realm."

"I no longer have a reason to stay here."

"In the chaos, a thousand years form one chaotic epoch, and I have passed over five hundred such epochs."

"In these more than five hundred epochs of travel, the areas I traversed are less than one in a billion of the chaos."

"The Tao Realm is among chaos the existence one can stand by, yet at the Taoist Domain Realm, one is considered strong in the entire chaos."

"Next, I will venture to other parts of chaos to meet other strong ones and comprehend different taos."

"These are for you."

As Shou casually waved his hand, numerous Heavenly Rank Secret Realms appeared before Lin Su.

They originate from Blue Star.

"You have heard the last wish of my old friend prior to his disappearance."

"He and I knew each other in early years and later entered the relic of the Spirited Path together, where we looked after each other, counted as one of my few friends."

"Unfortunately, his Tao faced greater difficulties than mine, eventually leading to his demise."

"At the end of his life, he left these Tao Realm fragments to me."

"I integrated them into the old and new Tao Realm and, using these Tao Realm fragments as a blueprint, created some similar but weaker fragments to accelerate the growth of living beings within my Tao Realm."

"These Tao Realm fragments are quite helpful for your pet beast but are now useless to me."

"Yet, those weaker fragments brought me new surprises, and I can create more in the future."

Blue Star has now evolved to the mythological era, and these Heavenly Rank Secret Realms offer limited aid to the beings there.

However, Qin Yunzhang's discovery of fusion and transformation awakening has provided new purposes for the Yellow Rank, Mysterious Rank, and Earth Rank Secret Realms.

Old friend's last wish...

In Lin Su's mind suddenly surfaced the phantom of a living being that had just vanished before him.

The other did mention hoping Shou could pass on his gift to "that child."

Could "that child" be Tata?

If so...

Recalling a term frequently mentioned in the course of deciphering scriptures, Lin Su's eyes widened.

"Is He the Mother Goddess?"

"Mother Goddess..." Shou smiled. "When He was still alive, the beings within His Tao Realm indeed called Him that."

"But His true name wasn't this."

"He is a more ancient chaos being than I am, named Yu."

"Moreover... Yu might not have vanished without a chance of revival." Shou gazes far away, "In His final moment of demise, a living being broke through the Source Tao Realm and walked out of His Tao Realm."

"That living being is also somewhat connected with your pet beast."

"In the future, perhaps you all will intersect."

Lin Su couldn't help but gaze in the direction Shou was looking, unable to perceive everything due to his current strength, yet resonating with Shou's words, realizing a high likelihood this might occur in the future.

"Farewell until we meet again."

Shou walked step by step towards the distance, seemingly an instant away from stepping beyond Lin Su's perception.

"Wait a moment!" Lin Su couldn't help but called out, "Did you win your wager?"

Shou paused briefly.

"Lost, yet won."

He didn't linger any further, completely disappearing at the horizon of Lin Su's vision, leaving behind only one sentence echoing within the scope of chaos Lin Su could perceive.

"That cunning fellow is named Gui. If you encounter Him, be careful."

...

"Why speak ill behind someone's back..."

In another endless distant chaos away from Lin Su, a figure awkwardly touched their nose.

It was a being of unmatched beauty, distinguished features seeming unrightfully placed amidst chaos, captivating all differing aesthetic tribes within chaos, amalgamating markings of all beings within chaos but distinctly maintaining a human form upon close inspection.

Chaos's all-pervading perfection seemed to converge upon Him, the sole imperfection, those eyes like deep black holes, as if forcibly gouged out.

At this moment, He couldn't restrain Himself from glancing in a certain direction, in the cavernous depths of His eyes, a flicker of interest swiftly vanished.

Has He reversed the Tao Shou abandoned?

The being chosen by Shou is rather intriguing.

Yet it doesn't hold as much intrigue as this individual before me.

He retracts His gaze and once again focuses on the seated being before Him.

The being is shrouded in mist, with inexplicable mystical Tao swirling around, presenting differing forms at each instant.

Behind Him, an endless multitude of living beings seems to sing and pray for Him, intertwining sounds exuding grandeur and divinity.

"Gui, what are you scheming?"

The being enshrouded in mist opened with a deep voice.

Gui smiled a little, revealing a deck of cards in His hand, shuffling them like a common being, and then gently sweeping the shuffled deck, laying the cards face down in a fan-like pattern in the void.
