Chapter 2371: Above Star Devourer? Realm Breaker
Obviously, to survive, Yingyu had no choice. If she didn't agree, she'd lose all her value as a tool!
Jiangnan wouldn't even waste a sack to keep her locked up; she'd probably be chopped into jelly bits and have her horn carved into beads, right?
Jiang Ning's eyes widened. What was going on? Could someone who wasn't a spirit medium also contract a Creation Beast?
Jiangnan cleared his throat twice. "I'm letting you out now to sign the contract. Don't think I don't know what's going on in that little head of yours!"
"The moment I let you out, you'll duck into the fourth dimension and run, right? Too bad this is a dimensional gap, my big pot's territory. If you don't behave, I'll kill you on the spot!"
"Even if you somehow manage to hide in the fourth dimension, my Black Hole Devouring Star can still swallow you. Little girl, you're young—don't do anything foolish, got it?"
Yingyu!!!
Devils! Were there any devils worse than you?
The sack opening loosened, completely releasing Yingyu's restraints. She shrank down to the size of a house cat and crawled out of the Dull Sack trembling.
A circle of people around her showed nuclear-friendly smiles as they looked at Yingyu. Jiangnan casually patted his palm with the Godslayer Blade.
Wang Youzhi's black mist churned.
Yingyu shuddered violently, her gaze turning to Jiang Ning. She took the initiative to contract with Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning didn't dare delay and quickly started the contract process.
Jiangnan tilted his head toward the triangular fatty.
(๑◔◠◔ิ) "Hey, Little Fatty, can you contract even without being a spirit medium? Little Fatty? Hey! Little Fatty! I'm talking to you!"
Little Fatty was staring at Yingyu, completely lost in thought.
Mom... I think I'm in love? This sour, stinky smell—it must be the smell of love, right?
Wu Liang: (。◔ิˇ₃ˇ◔ิ。)～ｪﾍﾍ♫
Xiong Er: (≥ლ≤๑)
Couldn't Bear One even hold in his farts without being behind someone?
It took several calls from Jiangnan before Little Fatty snapped out of it.
"We Creation Sacred Beasts don't necessarily have to contract with spirit mediums. In fact, we can contract with any Bose Body."
"It's just that spirit mediums are special—they can share hearts and minds with Creation Beasts, even share power, mutually benefiting each other. It's good for both sides."
"But once a contract is made with a non-spirit medium physique, it only benefits the contractor. For the Creation Sacred Beast, it's just a shackle, a burden."
"Whether to sign a contract or not depends entirely on the subjective will of the Creation Sacred Beast. So no beast is willing to contract with a non-spirit medium."
After all, who would want to do something completely without benefit and add a burden on top of that?
Jiangnan sighed emotionally. (︶ヮ︶〃) "Ah~ Isn't Yingyu just sensible? Where else would you find such a good wife?"
Little Fatty couldn't help blushing, sneaking glances at Yingyu.
Chong Feiyu covered her face. This was all coercion, alright? If you don't sign, you die!
The moment the contract was completed, Jiang Ning's and Yingyu's auras connected. Jiang Ning's aura surged wildly, skyrocketing.
After all, Yingyu's strength wasn't weak—she used to hang out with Danding.
From then on, Jiang Ning could draw on Yingyu's power. But since Jiang Ning wasn't a spirit medium and the contract was one-sided, Yingyu couldn't use Jiang Ning's.
Jiang Ning looked at her own hands in disbelief. It actually worked?
She had a Creation Beast too? This was like a dream!
Among the Bose race, Creation Sacred Beasts were deeply revered. Which Bose body would dare treat a Creation Beast as brutally as Jiangnan?
Yingyu glared at Jiangnan with resentment, as if saying, "Are you satisfied now?"
Jiangnan laughed heartily and scooped Little Fatty up in front of Yingyu. "Look—this is the fresh young handsome beast prepared for you. Satisfied?"
Yingyu glanced at Little Fatty with disdain, looking very unimpressed.
Little Fatty was also cowering. The wife Brother Nan had snagged for him was way stronger than he was!
Jiangnan scratched his head. At this rate, their feelings wouldn't warm up. How could they build a relationship?
(〃⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)っ "Come, good baby! Open wide—ah~"
Yingyu completely ignored Jiangnan.
Jiangnan immediately raised the Godslayer Blade, grinning broadly.
(ꐦ⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)っ¤=]=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞7 "Open wide—ah~"
Yingyu shuddered and had no choice but to obediently open her mouth.
Jiangnan was quick—he pulled out a big handful of chives and stuffed them into her mouth.
The moment the chives went down, the effect kicked in. Yingyu's little face turned red, her gaze anxiously sweeping around, pawing the ground restlessly.
She locked onto Little Fatty, who looked completely confused.
She rushed over, grabbed Little Fatty by the scruff of his neck, and wanted to find a place with no one around.
Little Fatty immediately communicated with her in beast language.
(☍﹏⁰。) "You... what are you doing? I haven't even introduced myself yet, I..."
Yingyu urged. (︶益︶✽) "Do it! You'll understand later. Why so many words?"
Little Fatty: ∑(°口°๑) "Huh? Th-this fast? But I don't know how! I'm still a lone wolf, I..."
Yingyu couldn't wait. (๑＞皿＜๑) "I know how! Big sis will teach you!"
The two beasts flickered and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Jiang Ning's forehead dripped sweat. (•﹏•̀٥) "Is... is this really okay? Without any emotional foundation?"
Jiangnan waved dismissively. (︶.̮︶〃)ﾉ "Feelings can develop slowly. Haven't you heard of growing close over time?"
"But forced melons aren't sweet!"
"Forced melons are still melons. Who cares if they're sweet? At least they're in your mouth. Go, Little Fatty! From today on, he's a beast with a wife!"
Jiangnan turned around, pulled out his smart brain, and called Yao Hong.
(︶ꇴ︶〃)ᕤ "Hey, Yao Hong? Tell the seven Calabash Brothers of the Twin Clan to come over. There's a job for them—that Twin Force Field. Right, right—isn't it that giving birth always results in multiple births?"
"First litter, have seven cubs, got it? Mm-hmm—hurry up, hurry up. Maybe Little Fatty won't last long and it'll be over soon. Get moving!"
Xia Yao was covered in black lines. Damn it, seven cubs in one litter? The Star Project was already being used?
You really don't waste anything!
Little Fatty dragged Yingyu off to a happy life, while Jiangnan and the others entered Maple Forest Villa.
The furnishings inside were still the same as back then, but it had lost the flavor of those days.
Probably because they hadn't recreated that hellish room dedicated to smashing Giant Durians.
Jiang Ning's expression turned serious. "So, are humans really going to participate in this Sequence War? To fight in the Cosmos Grand Hunt?"
Jiangnan grinned. "If we don't, do we wait another ten thousand years? Wouldn't that be a pity?"
Jiang Ning's eyes were earnest. "If you must participate, then you really need to be careful. Even with life tokens guaranteeing safety, the Cosmos Grand Hunt still kills a lot of people every year."
"There have been cases where entire races were wiped out as representatives. After all, everyone is a competitor. They'll kill each other without mercy. The more you cut down, the fewer competitors there are later in the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle."
"Some races even fall into decline because all their representatives die, leaving a gap in their strong members..."
Jiangnan grimaced. Just hearing about this form of chaotic battle, he already knew—once it started, the situation would be brutal.
People without real skill wouldn't make it to the end. But Jiangnan had already mentally prepared himself.
(๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "By the way, Sister Jiang Ning, you should know something about the Sequence War and the Chuangjie Daxu, right? What exactly is the situation with the Chuangjie Daxu in the Star River Cemetery?"
Jiang Ning brushed her bangs aside. "I was just about to tell you about this. If you end up entering the Chuangjie Daxu, you must be careful, very careful."
"I think there must be some unknown secret hidden there. The Bose race's high-ups definitely have some scheme."
Jiangnan's eyes lit up. Secrets—he loved those!
"Tell me more?"
Jiang Ning said, "As everyone knows, the Star River Cemetery is located on the battlefield of the former Cosmos War. The Chuangjie Daxu wasn't called that in the Eternal Era before the Thousand Stars Era."
"It was called the Cosmos World. Because of the Cosmos War, the Cosmos World was destroyed, completely ruined, becoming a lifeless wasteland. So it was renamed the Chuangjie Daxu."
Jiangnan was stunned. Σ(°△°|||) "Cosmos World? What does that mean? That was a world? And the previous era was called the Eternal Era? Then why was it called the Cosmos War? What's the connection?"
Wang Youzhi grinned darkly. (͡°↼͡°) "Big connection! It was called the Cosmos War precisely because the appearance of the Cosmos World became the fuse for this war. It eventually escalated into a full-scale starry sky war among all races, fighting straight to the end of the era."
"It ended the Eternal Era that had lasted over five billion years, redefined the rules of the starry sky, and opened the current Thousand Stars Era. But obviously, the Bose race was still the one laughing at the end."
"Not to mention, over five billion years of development brought the civilization of the Eternal Era's starry sky to an extremely high level. Countless ambitious races began charging toward higher levels, wanting to be the first realm breakers."
"That is, the level above Star Devourer."
At this moment, everyone's scalp tingled. What a huge secret of the starry sky this was!
Only a freak like Black God, known as the living history of the starry sky, would know so many hidden details!
Jiangnan's mouth hung open. ∑(°口°๑) "Above Star Devourer? Star Devourer isn't the end? There's more above?"
Wang Youzhi shrugged. ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "Did I ever say there wasn't? But don't think about it. The Thousand Stars Era has only developed for over two billion years. It's still young. Wanting a realm breaker to appear? Far from it."
"Resources, civilization, technology, height, cognition—everything about the current Thousand Stars Era is inferior to the late Eternal Era."
"And the appearance of a realm breaker is a product that can only emerge when an era is prosperous enough. The Thousand Stars Era isn't brilliant enough yet. There aren't many Star Devourers combined. Wanting a realm breaker? Forget it."
"But... it doesn't rule out the possibility of exceptions."
Wang Youzhi glanced at Jiangnan meaningfully, a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Jiangnan got even more excited. (งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง "Above Star Devourer? What's that realm called?"
Wang Youzhi propped his chin. (｡･ˇกˇ･｡) "Strictly speaking, since the birth of the starry sky, no living being has ever fully reached that realm."
"If that guy from the Bose race in the Eternal Era is considered successful, and his naming of the realm above Star Devourer is valid, then this realm should be called the Cosmos Realm."
