Chapter 1473 The Dream of a Thousand Years Old

The moment Adrian appeared, Chitose sensed the presence of a kindred spirit.

Although that "smell" was filled with the lingering glow of time, no longer vibrant, and even carried a foul, rotten smell... it was indeed the energy of the same kind!

The thousand-year-old has been lonely for too long.

From as far back as it can remember, it had never had any of its kind around it.

Spanning thousands of years of development on Lanxing, it has adapted to the changing times, but has never been able to truly integrate into the human world.

Humans have their own kind, animals have their own kind, and plants and flowers all have their own kind.

He could search every corner of Lanxing, but all he could find were the remains of his former kind...

Those vivid images that exist in the memories passed down through generations make it feel even more lonely whenever it reminisces.

It enjoys solitude, yet doesn't want to be alone all the time. Ultimately, it can only wander aimlessly in the remote mountains and wilderness, far from crowds and bustling places, searching with an unwavering hope for any corner it might have missed…

Much later, a black hole appeared in the sky, and two people fell down.

It seems there are two more lonely individuals on Lanxing now.

It was only then that Chitose learned that there were worlds beyond worlds.

In the outside world, there are many beasts just like it. In some cases, there are even more beasts than humans, the opposite of Lanxing.

Chisui was curious: what kind of world was it? What kinds of beasts would there be? Would there be any beasts she remembered?
But it couldn't go—the old man said that before his breakthrough, he wouldn't be able to tear through space and travel between worlds anymore. Besides, he had only heard about it and didn't know exactly where that world was.

A thousand years of disappointment.

When running in the wilderness or traversing the jungle, I often think of that world with many beasts just like it.

When can we go and see it?
Fortunately, it has a long lifespan.

Watching Lanxing change with each passing day, and spaceships take to the skies, Qian Sui often imagines that one day in the future, it will travel in a spaceship to the world it longs for.

I thought it would take a long time.

As a result, Lin Fan appeared.

Before it could even lament that another lonely person had been added to the world, the ugly woman and the World Tree appeared one after another.

Qian Sui then realized that the reason why his kind had been wiped out and he was the only one left was probably because there wasn't enough spiritual energy to sustain him.

Its innate talent—devouring—is the only thing that allows it to convert everything into energy to sustain itself, thus enabling it to survive in desperate situations where spiritual energy is scarce...

Later, before Chitose had fully accepted it, time seemed to have been fast-forwarded.

People from the outside world arrived in spaceships and attacked Lanxing's doorstep. War raged across rivers, lakes, and seas.

The thousand-year-old, who was relaxing on the grassland, did not want to get involved, but many things seemed to be predetermined.

For example, there's Qian Lao, who crashed onto Lanxing and opened up a new world for Qian Sui; and there's the Gro spaceship, which landed right in front of Qian Sui and made it impossible for it to ignore it...

After that, Gro lost, Qian Lao fell, the octopus man came and went, and Lan Xing's spaceship was about to embark on a long voyage.

Chitose finally boarded the spaceship and embarked on her dream journey.

But in this vast starry sky, every star is populated by people.

Only after hearing news of Anniemo did Chisai finally feel satisfied.

But they waited and waited... They went to one planet after another, but still hadn't reached Anniemo.

A thousand years of patience was broken when he saw the rabbit-headed man. But when he heard of Anemoma, it was shattered.

It didn't want to wait any longer.

Now, immediately, right now! It's going to see Anemor!

That planet ruled by beastmen, a planet where legend says there are other beastmen like it!

But when they actually arrived at Anemoma, Chisai was disappointed.

It's all just people. Humans and beastmen.

Even beasts with higher-level beast souls have transformed into humans... What's so good about humans anyway? Why do we have to chase after that barren and pitiful appearance?

He had seen many beasts, but none of them were the kind of creatures that Qian Sui wanted to see.

Qian Sui was utterly bored. Aside from the obvious dominance of orcs in the marketplace, nothing seemed different about the entire Anemorum.

But as soon as it stepped out of the spaceship, it sensed the presence of a similar aura in the Annie Demon. Though faint, it was omnipresent, seemingly there yet nowhere to be found.

Therefore, Qian Sui guessed that the divine beast with such abilities might be in Jingyao City, which is the furthest from the Loess Zone and also the highest level.

If you want to get to Crystal City, Bonnie offers the simplest and most direct path—be sold there.

Coincidentally, Qian Sui was also quite interested in the drama of Lin Fan's misfortune and betrayal, which led to that series of seemingly indifferent demands. Unfortunately, after entering Crystal City, what Qian Sui sensed was no different from Silver Moon City, Gray Stone Settlement, or even the Loess District.

It began to doubt its own judgment, wondering if any Anniemos truly existed.

Until Adrian appeared.

The change in the newly injected aura also reveals the answer—that other being is probably in a bad state, on the verge of decay, or unable to hold on, which is why it cannot release more power or sense its arrival.

I don't want this long-awaited meeting to turn into a regret.

It completely lost interest in watching the show and chased after the direction in which the energy was drifting.

Once outdoors, the already faint scent becomes even harder to discern amidst the chaotic space.

Qian Sui no longer concealed its laziness. It pushed off the ground with its four paws, transformed into a black lightning bolt, and with a gust of cold wind, it rushed upwards.

"Your Majesty!" Bonnie only dared to shout loudly after chasing after them.

But Qian Sui wouldn't pay any attention to her.

Bonnie chased after Chitose with all her might. She was fast on her feet, but she was just an ordinary rabbit-person, and no matter how fast she went, she couldn't outrun Chitose.

In no time, they had created some distance between them, and could only watch as the figure of Qian Sui appeared and disappeared on the roof ridge. Finally, they stared wide-eyed at the direction it went.

"That! That is..."

In the darkness, Beast God Mountain resembles a lurking beast. Its pitch-black body pierces the sky, its peak hidden in thick clouds, occasionally illuminated by flashes of lightning that light up the rugged cliffs and ancient, white trees.

The Thousand-Year-Old has gone to Beast God Mountain!
How could it have gone to Beast God Mountain?
Did it know that the Burning Beast was there...?

Bonnie ran as fast as she could towards Beast God Mountain. When she reached the foot of the mountain, she looked up and, sure enough, saw Chisui's figure flashing by in the sparse light.

"Oh no! Oh no!" she gasped, scrambling uphill on all fours. "I have to make it! If someone else catches up, I'll be out of luck! Your Majesty! Wait for me! I'll be your witness!"

Inside the auction venue.

Adrian finally relented and admitted that he hadn't paid yet. Herman breathed a sigh of relief.

The audience felt they had been tricked and demanded an explanation from Adrian.

They shouted and shouted, but no one actually laid a hand on them. They didn't even get angry; it was all condemnation and reprimand… Antonio yawned twice watching this.

"It's boring, so boring. I'd rather have a fight." He complained, tears welling in his eyes.

“Brother An has always liked to be direct,” Lan Bingru said with a smile.

“That’s right,” Antonio proudly raised his chin, “If it can be solved with one punch, I won’t say a word more.”

"That depends on the occasion," Lin Fan said helplessly. "Argue when it's time to argue, and fight when it's time to fight."

"Hi~" Antonio turned his head, about to give his opinion, when he suddenly felt a surge of spiritual energy in the air, "Lin!"

"Your Majesty!" Lin Fan immediately noticed.

A deafening roar suddenly came from outside.

The sound was like a beast's roar, or the boom of an explosion, and the entire auction house trembled.

Everyone fell silent for a moment, then someone shouted "Burning Beast!" and everyone got up and ran outside.

"Judging from this noise, Little Black might have gotten himself into big trouble, right?" Antonio followed Lin Fan and rushed out, but before he could get far, he was restricted by the chain.

"Hey! Wait!" he shouted anxiously at Hermann, "Untie me right now!"

How could Herman possibly untie them? Seeing Lin Fan and Lan Bingru running with the crowd, he extended more chains from his fingertips, intending to lock them up.

"Honey!" Antonio shouted a warning as he watched the chains heading toward Lin Fan's vest.

Lin Fan swung his hand back and grabbed the chain. The blue-purple electric light in his palm traveled along the chain and directly to Herman's hand.

In the blink of an eye, Herman was shocked and withdrew his hand, the chain disappearing without a trace. He looked at Lin Fan in disbelief.

"Ouch!" Although Antonio was free, he was still feeling unwell from the electric shock.

Lan Bingru immediately wrapped a stream of water around Antonio, turning him into a water person.

“You…” Herman looked at Lan Bingru, then at Lin Fan, and didn’t dare to chase after them anymore.

Even after rushing out of the auction hall, the huge crowd had not yet dispersed.

Lin Fan immediately spotted the source of the commotion, exchanged a glance with Antonio, carried Lan Bingru on his back, and jumped out over the heads of the people.

On the pitch-black mountaintop, the red light grew brighter and brighter, and the energy fluctuations in the air became increasingly violent.

It was as if a sleeping behemoth was awakening.
