Chapter 865 The Budding of the Time-Space Dragon!
Inside the Heart of Wood, in a relatively remote, huge research laboratory.

A figure sat down on the ground, completely ignoring the mess around him, and instead held a small bead, weighing it in his hand.

The bead was pure white with a semi-transparent tint, and had a faint, indescribable ripple pattern surrounding it.

That was a fluctuation of time, and within this fluctuation, strange images and scenes would occasionally appear.

It reflected what was inside.
The scene depicted in the picture is none other than that of the immortal saint and the dragon from back then.

At this very moment, the one sitting on the ground, resting his chin on his hand and deep in thought, was none other than Ye Zhou.

Compared to Su Ping, Ye Zhou's brilliance seemed to be much more concealed.

However, if things were truly ordinary, Ye Zhou would never have been taken in as a disciple by that Candle Dragon again upon entering Dragon City.

If it were truly ordinary, it wouldn't have been able to truly help Su Ping, or even that it would have helped Su Ping cultivate the special skill of the History of Childhood.

Ye Zhou himself was a genius time-type beast tamer who was extremely sensitive to time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to obtain Jiang Xuanji's time-type beast tamer inheritance in the beginning.

All of this proves his talent.

And it is quite obvious that Ye Zhou, who had previously received the inheritance of the Immortal Saint again, naturally possessed the method of cultivating the Dragon.

However, the Nian beast, as a pet, is not actually that powerful; in fact, it's just so-so.

The immortal saint of that time was indeed famous, but his fame did not lie in how powerful he was in combat, but in the fact that he could live a long and healthy life.

It even outlived some legendary beings.

The main reason for this is the breeding of these Nian beasts. Chenlong is already considered quite powerful among them, but its combat strength is just so-so.

As for the rest, such as the Rat and the Ox, they are even more unbearable to look at.

Time-based dragons, though mysterious and rare, are not powerful at all, and can even be said to be far from being powerful. Ye Zhou had originally wanted to cultivate one, since it was a lost type of time-based dragon pet.

However, having reached this point, having helped Su Ping complete such training, become a disciple of Zhulong, and even gained the recognition of Longcheng, Ye Zhou's ambition has also increased considerably.

If you want to create one, you should create a more powerful and unique 'Chenlong'. If it's just to increase your own lifespan, then it doesn't have much meaning or challenge.

After all, Ye Zhou is only twenty-seven years old now. At the age of twenty-seven, he has already reached the Emperor level. With a promising future ahead, it would be too boring for him to be thinking about extending his lifespan and being afraid of death.

Moreover, after witnessing Xiao Xiao's skill, Ye Zhou was truly tempted. Although, according to Su Ping, there is usually only one mythical skill, and even if there are others, they are mythical skills that have been newly comprehended through the corresponding rules.

However, having created the first one, Ye Zhou truly didn't believe he couldn't create a second one.

After all, Su Ping owed him a huge favor. Although Ye Zhou hadn't been wandering around the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits during this time, he still knew some of Su Ping's whereabouts. Su Ping had probably already tried to use the resurrection ability many times.

If I can create a time-type pet with enough potential and talent, and have this guy help me cultivate a time-type mythical skill for my own pet, that shouldn't be a problem, right?

It was precisely because of this idea that Ye Zhou did nothing during this period except to try to satisfy the historical traces of his former teacher, Jiang Xuanji, and to create a brand new time-type pet based on Chenlong.

However, how difficult is it to reach this point?

His idea was to use Chenlong as a model and then find a way to make the little Chenlong undergo a special mutation immediately after Chenlong's birth.

Although mutation represents uncertainty, in the past, unless the mutated attributes were extremely rare, the value of mutated pets fluctuated wildly.

However, after Su Ping rose to prominence, and with almost all of his pets being based on mutation, mutated pets suddenly became popular in the Dragon Kingdom.

Even pets that have visibly mutated and become weaker can sell for almost twice the value of ordinary pets.

After all, the sellers of pets also have something to say: you may look weak now, but these mutated pets have unlimited potential for development in the future. If you raise them well, they may not stay weak forever. They might even break the racial limit.

But Ms. Su, the trainer, has never cared about these things.

With Su Ping as a self-promoting figure, mutated pets have suddenly become a hot commodity sought after by countless beast tamers and breeders in the Dragon Kingdom.

Of course, in most cases, the ending is dismal.

However, Ye Zhou himself was still confident.

Even if he couldn't handle things on his own, Su Ping was still there. Even he had to admit that this guy had the incredible ability to turn the impossible into the possible. Any special pet beast seemed to undergo a qualitative change in an instant in his hands.

The main reason why Chenlong's combat power is so low is most likely due to its time-related attributes. Therefore, for Ye Zhou, if Chenlong can undergo other attribute mutations during the process of nurturing and creating it, then it will definitely be able to meet these two requirements in the future.

If he can strike a balance between lifespan and combat power, then the pet he truly desires will be satisfied.

Speaking of his previous four pets, two were time-related artifacts, and two were time-related creatures: an hourglass and a sundial. The other two were the Spring and Autumn Cicada and the Year Ring Tiger.

Of these four pet beasts, only the Year Ring Tiger possesses direct and powerful combat capabilities; the others are mostly focused on support.

Of course, the auxiliary effects are also incredibly powerful.

However, after witnessing Su Ping's current strength, Ye Zhou was no longer satisfied.

He desperately needs a truly powerful pet beast with sufficient combat capabilities.

Of course, it has to be a time-based type; otherwise, the combat system formed by his pets, as well as the buffs provided by the other three time-based pets that are mainly for support, would be greatly reduced.

So, how exactly can we do that?
Ye Zhou rubbed his already incredibly messy hair.

He needed to think things through before attempting it. The reason was simple: although he now had the backing of a powerful figure like Zhulong and Su Ping's assistance, the bestowal of the Dragon Soul from Dragon City was not something that could be done casually.

To be able to obtain a dragon soul when there were no other results was already thanks to his previous achievements and the immense influence of his teacher, Su Pingtian.

If he fails, it will be extremely difficult to create a completely new time-based mutated dragon pet.

Of course, Ye Zhou was not flustered. At present, only Su Ping and he had mastered the method of cultivating the Dragon, and he even had mastered all the cultivation methods of the twelve Year Beasts.

Especially the three: Dragon (辰), Snake (巳), and Tiger (寅).

Of these three, the Dragon is the upper limit of the Saint Spirit level, and the latter two are the upper limit of the Emperor level. They can greatly increase lifespan. It can be said that if Ye Zhou masters the cultivation of these twelve-year beasts, he will definitely be sought after by countless high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom and even other countries in the future.

Lifespan is the most important thing for those in high positions.

No one wants to die, and it's acceptable to leave a pet slot open specifically to extend lifespan.

If all else fails, how about we try making an ordinary dragon first?
Such a thought flashed through Ye Zhou's mind.

However, before he could make up his mind, the doorbell rang outside the laboratory.

"Please come in..."

The mechanical door of the laboratory opened, and Su Ping stepped inside.

Upon seeing that it was Su Ping, Ye Zhou waved his hand:

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you went to the Eagle Kingdom? How was it? What were the pets like there?"

There was no awkwardness between them, and Su Ping plopped down next to him, shrugging:

"I was only there for two days, and before I even had a chance to properly visit the pet market or anything, I was kicked out."

"Did you finish it?"

Ye Zhou looked at Su Ping suspiciously: "You didn't beat that legendary Eagle Kingdom player into a vegetable like before, did you?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I've already said it: the Queen of the Lion Kingdom was ambushed by Charles, damaging her soul's essence. It wasn't me. The reason I was kicked out, besides the fact that I resurrected Icarus, which affected the operation of the Eagle Kingdom's Skynet and probably aroused suspicion from that old foreigner, is also because of this..."

Su Ping didn't hide anything; in fact, the reason he came here this time was to do this very thing.

Ye Zhou looked at the thing Su Ping had taken out with a suspicious expression: "What is this?"

"The great treasure of the Eagle Ancestor of the Eagle Kingdom, the power seed and experience of a lifetime, if you put this thing into any bird-like pet, the other party will directly evolve and transform into a Time-Space Eagle, mastering both time and space systems, and the racial limit will be directly maxed out to the legendary level."

However, based on my guess, this thing's upper limit will be fixed at the legendary level. Without any groundbreaking modifications, it will probably be difficult to reach the mythical level. Of course, legendary level shouldn't be too low either.

"I rely on!"

Ye Zhou couldn't help but curse out loud, staring incredulously at the silvery-white bead, which was only the size of a longan.

Although he understood that Su Ping's status, position, and strength meant that he was not an ordinary person, he didn't think it was that extraordinary.
This thing is far more valuable than any legendary resource, isn't it?

This almost guarantees a spot for a legendary-level pet, and it's also a seed of power based on time and space...

Ye Zhou blinked before continuing:

"No wonder, no wonder you got kicked out. If there were something similar in China and it got taken away by a foreign beast tamer, I would definitely kill him and take it back if I had the ability."

Su Ping nodded, deeply agreeing:
"I guess that old foreigner thought the same thing, but unfortunately, we didn't give him the chance."

Ye Zhou thought about the abnormal combat power that Su Ping had previously displayed, and nodded in deep agreement: "That's true, you are indeed too abnormal."

As Ye Zhou was speaking, Su Ping simply reached out and tossed the incomparably valuable Seed of Time and Space, which traced a silver arc in the air and flew directly into Ye Zhou's arms.

Even Ye Zhou, who had seen a lot in his life, was flustered when he saw this thing being thrown at him like that. He felt that the ice-cold, silvery-white bead was as hot as a burning coal.

After finally catching it, Ye Zhou stared wide-eyed at Su Ping:

"What the hell do you mean by this?"

Su Ping looked at this guy suspiciously:
"No need to ask, it's yours..."

Ye Zhou was stunned, staring at the thing. Although he didn't know how Su Ping had obtained it from the Eagle Country, it was clear that this thing was definitely not something that could be acquired casually or easily.

"I don't want it... This thing is too precious..."

"Don't rush to refuse... In my opinion, while this thing is precious, its potential is limited by the abilities of that Eagle Ancestor. However, if we extract this power..."
We can use this as an embryo for breeding mutated pets, and maybe even create a limited edition Time-Space Dragon.

"Weren't you currently researching that Time Dragon of the Dragon Clan?"

Su Ping had clearly anticipated this guy's refusal, and said earnestly:

"Having completed this mutation, this Time-Space Dragon will simultaneously master both the Time and Space systems, and its future talent will reach an unimaginable height."

"When the time comes, we'll find a way to cultivate it into a mythical-level skill belonging to this Time-Space Dragon, won't that be better?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhou was undeniably moved. His eyes gleamed with a glint of light. After glancing at Su Ping, who showed no hesitation and even appeared somewhat indifferent, Ye Zhou finally felt reassured. He nodded without further hesitation and said:
"If that's the case, then so be it!"
