Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 1363: Chapter 558: Absorbing the Netherworld God! Mastery and Creation!

Intense darkness seemed intent on completely staining the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas. This was Su Ping’s only sensation. Obviously, even the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas was extremely cautious when facing the Netherworld God’s mark of power. However, it had no effect on Su Ping. The reason was simple: at this moment, he didn’t even need to consciously exert control.

During the absorption process, that pitch-black mark was slowly extracted. Then, the complete darkness directly enveloped the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, soaking it entirely. At this time, Su Ping felt that something was different. He sensed that deep within his soul, that special Origin Mark was undergoing some changes.

Deep in his soul, there were actually quite a few Origin Marks. The previous Heavenly Tomb Fire mark, which was the Netherworld God Mark, was now completely gone. What remained were the World Tree’s mark, the Dragon Gate’s mark, and the one that truly belonged to him—the Paperman’s mark. Undoubtedly, the position of this Paperman’s mark was probably the lowest. However, at this very moment, it was this Paperman’s mark that was changing.

It radiated brilliantly from the deepest depths of his soul. The radiance was so intense that Su Ping almost couldn’t handle it. Then, in the next moment, an indescribable special sensation, a special power, fiercely poured into his brain. He knew that after the Netherworld God Mark fused, it would select a Catalog of a matching category to increase its Level. With no other options, it could naturally only be the Paperman. But what he hadn’t expected was that this Catalog Level upgrade would bring about such a drastic development.

Thus, completely unprepared, Su Ping passed out without a fight.

Darkness...

It was still an incomparably dark world. Su Ping stood in this expanse of darkness. He seemed to lack any thoughts or memories. Yet, in this darkness, a kind of instinct governed by his inner self caused Su Ping to slowly reach out his hand.

Above his palm, a bizarre fluctuation of power appeared. It was not the Spirit Power that Beastmasters were most adept at. Rather, it was another bizarre power that Su Ping couldn’t articulate or put into words. He couldn’t even describe the emergence of this sensation. It felt like a special Ability he had inherently mastered since birth, while also being an Ability pulsating with a Rule from the deepest depths of his soul.

He didn’t know what this Ability was used for. But in this stupor, having arrived here in a deep sleep, the rhythm of this bizarre Ability became an absolute instinct for him, as natural as eating or drinking. Extremely bizarre.

However, just as Su Ping, in this bizarre state, was still wondering what on earth this power was, the darkness before his eyes slowly began to change following the extension of his hand. A new entity appeared in the darkness. Or rather, a new entity had coalesced within the darkness! It was a piece of paper. It wasn’t snow-white, but rather somewhat grayish and hazy.

On that grayish paper, as he reached out his hand and as the soul rules’ rhythm of that Soul Breath fluctuated, something seemed to be slowly coalescing. Su Ping seemed to come to an indescribable understanding. If he had to describe it, this feeling was somewhat similar to what the God of Spring had taught him back then! The technique of carving a Life Embryo.

Only, this sensation was far more profound. Because the carving of a Life Embryo, relatively speaking, remained mainly on the surface. Moreover, the Life Embryo carved out the veins of Life and the operational routes of Energy, serving as the seed to form Plant Type Life. But at this very moment, what he was coalescing and forming through this almost instinctive process was a soul. Completely opposite to before, the "body" of this piece of paper was actually not that important anymore.

Then, what Su Ping was doing—an action he had mastered almost by instinct—could easily be imagined. In this void-like world devoid of memory and self-consciousness, governed only by the instinct of soul rules, after Su Ping reached out and slowly coalesced a fluctuation of power on that blank paper, a figure did indeed slowly take shape in accordance with the creation of the soul.

The Paperman!

That simple blank piece of paper, which had merely been soaked in Soul Water, or perhaps some kind of Soul-Settling Paper, seemed to become a Life mold imprinted and carved upon it after the fluctuation of the soul rules swept across it. And soon, the Paperman grew, folded itself, and completely took shape!

Sculpting a soul! Creating Living Beings!

Even in this dark world devoid of self-consciousness, when Su Ping saw this scene, he still felt as if an electric current had instantly jolted his soul, making him shudder. What kind of Ability was this? Could this be the legendary Mythical Level Ability? No, perhaps even at the Mythical Level, even for certain Mythical Level creatures, it would be impossible to create other Living Beings. But now, Su Ping had done it!

Suddenly, that expanse of darkness was shattered. Su Ping’s Soul Consciousness returned to the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas.

[Absorbed special Advanced Origin Power. All Undead Type and Death Element Catalogs will instantly reach Level 3 upon being lit.
