King of Beasts

In front of Lu Ran, there were a total of three items.

One was a small branch that could be completely held in the palm of his hand.

The branch was golden with a few emerald green leaves.

It appeared ordinary, but Lu Ran sensed power from it second only to the divine deer antler.

Epic level.

This was a space-type artifact containing partial time properties!

Seeing it, Lu Ran couldn’t keep his inner peace, knowing that this was the purpose of his trip.

With this, his beastmaster school could be different from all other beastmasters on the Blue Star.

Legion school!

General Ha doesn’t have much combat power while holding the divine deer antler.

So, holding a “small world” in battle should give it some combat power, right?

Although the branch of ruins might not make General Ha reach the pseudo-legendary species like the divine deer antler, the two have different meanings.

Under the divine deer antler, the pseudo-legendary General Ha excels in “pseudo-legendary pressure” and “healing power.”

The former acts as a control technique, but doesn’t actually cause much substantial damage to strong opponents. The latter causes even less damage.

However, holding the branch of ruins, Lu Ran estimated that it would grant General Ha the power of the Space.

Even if it doesn’t reach pseudo-legendary, upper overlord level should be no problem, and it would definitely be powerful.

But Lu Ran quickly shook his head at this thought… How could he do that? Once the corpse dog becomes General Ha’s retainer and enjoys the talent boost, its level might not be inferior to that of the branch of ruins!

Apart from the branch of ruins, there was another item resembling a crystal ball, also palm-sized.

To be honest, Lu Ran wasn’t very concerned about the beast taming skills or various secret manuals within the breakthrough secret realm.

Because even if obtained, without the Beast Taming Space, he couldn’t train.

Just like the “seal transformation” beast taming skill from the City Lord master’s family, Lu Ran had it but could only keep it as a collection for the time being.

However, this time, things seemed to be different.

Because the beast taming skill inheritance from the Tree King wasn’t a “text-based manual,” but an item that seemed very advanced, much like a skill card, it appeared that it might not require much personal training.

[Name]: Time Acceleration Inheritance Crystal!

Lu Ran’s emotions were far from calm-could this thing be like a beast taming skill card, something you just use without needing to learn?

If so, it would be a huge win.

A time-type beast taming skill!

Time acceleration… It could accelerate a pet beast’s growth and skill effects. The first thought Lu Ran had was to use it in conjunction with resources to enhance his pet beast’s growth level.

With this, wouldn’t it be like having a permanent “devouring agate”? Pet beasts need time to digest food and convert it into growth attributes. If this process could be accelerated, it would essentially be an alternative form of growth acceleration.

Accelerating skill effects is also easy to understand. Lu Ran wasn’t sure if he understood it correctly, but if a pet beast has a self-healing skill that usually takes an hour to recover from severe injuries, then with time acceleration, it might only take a few minutes.

Or, for instance, the dark crow’s long-distance curse could have immediate effects. After locking onto a target from a city away and invoking the curse, though the curse can strike across long distances, it still requires “travel time.”

In this case, with time acceleration, could the curse hit its target almost instantaneously?

The dark crow initiates a curse, and then, at superluminal speed, the curse power is applied to the target.

This is another bug-level beast taming skill, one that enhances the more absurd the pet beast’s skill is.

However, compared to these two, the third resource aligns most closely with Lu Ran’s understanding of resources.

A green leaf.

It looks unremarkable, but it is actually an attribute awakening resource, and a Time awakening resource!

However, it’s not a 100% epic-level Time awakening resource but an exquisite-level awakening resource with a probability of awakening Time.

Nevertheless, Lu Ran was thrilled.

Well, after merging the luck trait with a pet beast, he would consider using this awakening resource.

With luck on his side, Lu Ran believed the awakening would be successful.

Lu Ran still holds a strong admiration for the Time attribute.

Seeing these three legacy resources, Lu Ran was stunned for a few seconds. Although the quantity was not large, the quality of each one was extremely high, feeling superior even to the solo clear resources from the Legendary Secret Realm of the infinite city.

“Rest assured, Tree King.”

“It’s my duty to restore the Glory of plant life,” Lu Ran vowed. “Once I become stronger, those legendary divine beasts will no longer strip plant life of their living space!”

Unintentionally, Lu Ran set another goal for himself.

“But maybe you’ll have to wait until you reach the legendary level to truly challenge those legendary divine beasts,” the Tree King commented, her tone gradually turning playful.

“It’s surprising that the final legacy went to a beastmaster, though it wasn’t really through ‘cheating.’ No, it can’t be considered cheating.”

She looked at General Ha and the dark crow.

General Ha had a wise look in its eyes. The dark crow also displayed its wisdom through its numerous Evil God’s Eyes, but its intelligence seemed overshadowed by even a single hair of General Ha, making it appear rather intimidating.

If it had only been the divine deer antler, then a beastmaster with similar strength to Lu Ran absolutely couldn’t have defeated it.

From the Tree King’s perspective, what was amazing was the canine beast’s ability to use the divine deer antler’s power to enhance its species, elevating itself to a Pseudo-legendary status, and then further strengthening the healing power of the divine deer antler.

This allowed the dark crow to sacrifice and curse without restraint, not worrying about healing issues.

At the same time, restricted by the divine deer pressure, which counteracts plant life, the phantom’s resistance to the curse was greatly increased.

Having grasped such an ability is also a testament to Lu Ran and his team’s strength. The Tree King realized that Lu Ran is indeed an exceptional individual.

Otherwise, he couldn’t have been chosen by the divine deer-she couldn’t believe that the divine deer antler would simply fall into a beastmaster’s hands without reason.

Even so, Senior Tree King felt a bit of regret. If she’d known earlier, she would have equipped the phantom with a few epic pieces of Equipment. She had quite a few at the time. But then again, perhaps no one would have been able to clear it at all.

“Senior Tree King, you’re the first person I’ve met who knows about the divine deer.”

“You know about the divine deer and the Creator Dragons. You must be familiar with the history before the Divine Tree Continent, right?” Lu Ran asked, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Currently, most of the legends on the Divine Tree Continent, including his City Lord master, are unaware of the existence of the Star-Moon Continent or the Creator Dragons. But the Tree King actually knows.

Lu Ran wanted to inquire about the death dragon.

Although on the blue star side, fortunately, the situation is initially under control, some hidden dangers still remain. A group of necromancers who haven’t been brought under control is still searching for the legendary item, the stone of the other shore, attempting to overturn the world.

Lu Ran needed to continuously gather intelligence on the death dragon to find the legendary-level stone of the other shore ahead of time.

“That’s because I am a divine chosen plantmaster. You could consider me a divine chosen beastmaster as well,” she explained slowly. “Because I was chosen and blessed by a legendary plant living creature, I know more than the average person.”

“What do you want to know? I can answer within the limited time.”

“You mentioned earlier, the divine deer is a neutral legendary life?”

“That’s right. The Four Great Creator Divine Dragons created the world and transcend everything. They are the creators of the continent. Whether it’s the innate divine spirits of the Elemental Age or the conflicts among divine beasts and divine spirits in the plant age, the Four Great Creator Divine Dragons have never been involved.”

“Their retainers have always acted as maintainers of the continent’s ecology and have never participated in the struggles of other species.”

“They are considered absolutely neutral legendary life, treating humans, beasts, and plants equally.”

Lu Ran took a deep breath and said, “I see, the Creator Dragons are that powerful. I used to think the divine tree could rival the Creator Dragons.”

“The Creator Dragons aren’t dragons per se; they are the embodiments of life and death, space-time rules. They don’t belong to elements, animals, or plants. They are rule life.”

“The Divine Tree is indeed powerful, but it’s merely an ultimate plant spirit, a divine spirit of acquired status.”

“In the legendary realm, the levels of legendary life can generally be divided into lesser legend, intermediate legend, greater legend, Main Divine Level, and Creator Divine Level.”

“Among them, the Four Great Divine Dragons are undoubtedly at the Creator Divine Level, whereas the Divine Tree is at the Main Divine Level.”

“As for the retainers of the Four Great Creator Divine Dragons, they hold unique positions, but in terms of pure combat power, they are mostly between the lesser legend and intermediate legend levels, not the top-level power among legendary life.”

Lu Ran was aware that differences exist between legendary lives. There was some related information on the blue star, but nothing as detailed as what the Tree King provided.

Then, he inquired about information regarding the death dragon!

The Tree King looked at the life form of the dark crow and said, “A beastmaster chosen by the life divine dragon’s retainer, but with a pet beast cultivating the power of death…”

“Caw caw! Thank you for the compliment,” the dark crow said, scratching its head in embarrassment.

Tree King: “I wasn’t praising you.”

“Woof.” General Ha pressed down on the dark crow to keep it from interrupting. It was eager to gather information about the death dragon, find the legendary-level stone of the other shore, and eventually carry the legendary death stone sword in its mouth.

Among those around Lu Ran, only the sudden death king remained quiet, pondering. Hearing about so many levels of legends, it suddenly felt discouraged, contemplating how, as a middle overlord, it could withstand a few moves from a legendary species.

Even with its defense, no matter how much it trained, it seemed inadequate.

“In the northern outer sea region of the continent, there is an endless abyss. Within this abyss, a retainer of the death dragon has been sleeping for years. That’s the only related information about the death dragon I know,” the Tree King explained. She didn’t concern herself with why Lu Ran was seeking information about the death dragon or whether he would pursue such a dangerous creature. In her view, Lu Ran, being an adult, should be capable of making his own decisions.

“An abyss in the sea region beyond the continent.” Lu Ran was taken aback, then nodded firmly. His exploration was one step further!

“My time is limited.”

The Tree King phantom said, “After receiving my legacy, you can seek the ‘Divine Flower’s whereabouts.’ Some of my plant pets, including the Moon God Tree and Harvest Dragon you’ve encountered, as well as some pet beasts you will contract in the future, have been training under the legendary divine spirit, the Divine Flower. Although you are a beastmaster and have developed a Beast Taming Space, with the help of the Divine Flower, you should be able to modify the space to simultaneously have the dual functions of beast mastering and plant mastering.”

Lu Ran: !!!

Wow.

Is there more to the legend?

However, Lu Ran felt that he might not have the time to search for it…

As the phantom before him grew more blurry, Lu Ran wanted to ask something more, but in the end, he simply said, “Senior Tree King, can you tell me your real name?”

The Tree King looked at this unique divine chosen plantmaster, smiled gently, and softly uttered three words.

In closing, she said:

“Don’t waste my legacy. This ruins space contains many mysteries. Develop it well.”

“Though I have passed away, there will surely be a day in the future when we meet again.”

Lu Ran: ???
