Beastmaster: I'm really not a training master

Chapter 1026 Finale (10)

With a gentle wave of his hand, Shi Tianjun revealed scene after scene.

"What is this?" Li Qian looked at the scene that appeared, a big question mark appearing on his forehead.

He stared at the images and slowly began to discern some clues.

"This is... what the outside world looks like?!" Li Qian stared wide-eyed as he watched cities turn into ruins and vibrant lives vanish in an instant, uttering a sound of disbelief.

Soon, he saw a familiar scene.

"This is Jinshan City!"

"Dad, Mom, Ruirui, Ziyu..."

He roared loudly, but the scene before him remained unchanged.

Two Creator-level Decayers and four Derivation Realm-level Decayers are slaughtering this city.

Li Qian even saw that Sun Ruirui, the little girl who had already advanced to the Immortal Realm, and Teacher Ling were putting up a fierce resistance.

Unfortunately, their strength was far inferior to that of their enemies.

Their resistance was more like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

“They…” Li Qian couldn’t believe what he was seeing. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Shi Tianjun.

Shi Tianjun's tone remained unchanged as he calmly stated, "As you can see, they all perished in this calamity that reaped all souls."

"How long have I been here?" Li Qian stared intently at Shi Tianjun with eyes like knives and immediately asked.

Without any concealment, Shi Tianjun stated the truth directly, "Three hundred and eighty years have passed!"

"How is that possible?!" Li Qian shook his head and immediately questioned, like a fish grasping at a straw.

Shi Tianjun spoke again, his voice calm, "The flow of time here is different from that outside!"

Li Qian stared intently at Shi Tianjun, as if trying to find a flaw in his deception. "You're not lying to me, are you? These are all illusions!"

"I, a dignified Celestial Sovereign of the Universe, am only one step away from stepping into the realm of the Lord of the Universe. Do I need to lie to a little guy like you!"

Shi Tianjun smiled and continued, as if stating a given fact, "Also, even if I lied to you, so what? What you are seeing now is destined to happen sooner or later!"

"This upheaval is different from the past. It may be the last gasp before the universe is completely destroyed. If we cannot seize this opportunity to control the primordial beast, become the master of the universe, and restore order to all things, the entire universe may be directly annihilated and head towards nothingness."

Shi Tianjun continued, his words like cold knives piercing Li Qian's body, "So whether it's the Creator or the Universe Lord, they will try desperately. Under such circumstances, your Fifth Era human civilization is destined to have no way out, destined to be nothing more than resources. Even if three Creators have been born in your race, it will be of no use!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qian fell into a deathly silence.

At this moment, he actually believed what Shi Tianjun said.

Before falling into this place, Li Qian knew that the human civilization of the Fifth Era had produced two creator-level powerhouses.

According to Shi Tianjun, there is now one more powerful being at the level of a creator.

How could Shi Tianjun possibly know about such dynamic changes if he didn't have real-time access to information about the outside world?

Thinking of this, of the outside world now a scene of war and ruins, and of the near-total loss of loved ones, Li Qian felt utterly hopeless. "If all of this is true, there's no point in saying anything now!"

Shi Tianjun shook his head, his tone finally losing its composure and becoming somewhat fanatical, "No, you don't understand. The Lord of the Universe is the true master of this universe. With a single thought, he can recreate the entire universe and change the world. Retrieving people from the river of time in the past is an easy task!"

"If I willingly merge with you, will you revive them?" Li Qian understood the implication in Shi Tianjun's words and immediately asked.

“Yes!” Shi Tianjun nodded without hesitation. “That is your obsession, and it will also be mine. If I become the master of the universe, I will not be involved in too many karmas. I will definitely find a way to settle these worldly ties!”

"Okay, I know what to do!"

Li Qian smiled bitterly after hearing the promise made by Shi Tianjun, "I've reincarnated ninety-nine times and lived one lifetime, making a total of one hundred. I can consider myself to have achieved perfect merit."

After a sigh, Li Qian slowly closed his eyes, awaiting the judgment of fate.

A moment later, his body began to crack, then split apart, turning into countless starlight rays that merged into Shi Tianjun's body.

In the final moment before his body disappeared, a faint smile appeared on Li Qian's lips.

At least there's something left to look forward to...

After completely merging with Li Qian, Shi Tianjun suddenly opened his eyes. In his eyes, it seemed as if thousands of stars were flowing. "My state of mind is finally complete. Next, Origin Beast, here I come!"

As he muttered to himself, an extremely terrifying beam of light shot into the sky, rising from the Fallen Dragon Ridge.

Immediately afterwards, a golden-armored giant, a thousand meters tall, began to walk forward.

Unseen by others, within the galaxy inside the golden-armored giant's body, hundreds of colossal cosmic beasts roared, the weakest of whom had reached the level of a creator.

Shi Tianjun did not fly or use any escape techniques, but instead walked step by step towards the central Chaos Valley using only his feet.

Halfway there, a giant whose body also reached a thousand meters in length rushed out and began to fight with them.

The giant was a red-faced man clad in crimson armor. He roared, his voice like thunder from the heavens, "Kill!"

The red-armored giant fought with Shi Tianjun for three days and three nights, and then retreated.

His goal was not to assassinate Shi Tianjun, nor was he capable of doing so.

Its true purpose was to deplete Shi Tianjun's strength, so once it felt it had achieved its goal, it retreated without hesitation.

If the battle continues, his condition will be affected, and his subsequent attempt to attack Chaos Valley will also be affected.

After battling the red-armored giant, Shi Tianjun didn't delay and continued forward. Not long after, another blue-armored giant appeared. "Shi Tianjun, I never expected that you would be the first to attempt to enter the Chaos Valley in this era. It's a pity you don't have the chance!"

"Is that so?" Shi Tianjun uttered two words indifferently, and then, without further ado, he raised his giant sword and attacked without hesitation.

And so, three more days and three nights passed, and the blue-armored giant retreated.

Not long after, another black-armored giant appeared.

"If you want to get in, you'll have to get past me first!" The black-armored giant's voice boomed like thunder, emanating a chilling aura.

Without a word, Shi Tianjun raised his giant sword and charged forward.

Five days and five nights later, Shi Tianjun finally arrived at the edge of Chaos Valley, where a giant in blue armor stood quietly.

Shi Tianjun looked at the giant in blue armor and asked in a complicated tone, "Luan Tianjun, are you going to stop me too?"

Among the Five Heavenly Lords, he had the best relationship with the Chaotic Heavenly Lord.

Lord Luan Tian sighed softly, then his gaze suddenly turned cold. "The struggle for origins is a path of no return, with no end in sight!"

"Then let me see how much you've improved over the years!" Upon hearing this, Shi Tianjun chuckled and, disregarding his somewhat faded armor, charged forward.

This battle lasted even longer, a full ten days and ten nights, before Lord Luan Tian finally withdrew.

Seeing this, Shi Tianjun no longer hesitated and took a step forward, entering the Chaos Valley.

The primordial behemoth dwells there.

At the same time, the moment Shi Tianjun stepped into Chaos Valley, four figures—one red, one blue, one black, and one green—quickly appeared around the valley.

The black-armored giant said with certainty, "Having suffered such severe injuries, Shi Tianjun's attempt will almost certainly end in failure!"

The red-armored giant and the blue-armored giant nodded in agreement.

Only the blue-armored giant remained expressionless, yet for some reason, a faint unease lingered in his heart.

Stepping into the Chaos Valley, Shi Tianjun looked at the primordial beast lying there; the beast was quite peculiar.

It looks like a deer, with the sun and moon alternating and stars flowing within its body.

If Li Qian were here, he would discover that the sun, moon, and stars in the deeper dimensional plane all originated from here.

Upon entering the Chaos Valley, Shi Tianjun looked at the colossal primordial beast lying there with its eyes closed. Without further hesitation, he transformed into a stream of light and merged into the beast's body. "Transform into myriad paths, merge, and control!"

As his body merged into the primordial beast, Shi Tianjun suddenly opened his eyes and saw that he was in a chaotic space.

He began to release his energy. A vast and mighty energy filled the entire chaotic space.

Energy filled the entire chaotic space, but after spreading to a certain distance, it began to show signs of becoming unsustainable.

"Fortunately, I was prepared." Despite feeling his energy waning, Shi Tianjun's expression remained unchanged.

If it weren't for Luan Tianjun and the others blocking his way, his energy would have been roughly enough. However, after being used up by Luan Tianjun and the others, he clearly showed signs of being unable to hold on.

In the chaotic space, Shi Tianjun held up a light green gourd.

The gourd tilted over, and countless tiny points of light poured out.

If you look closely, you'll find that these points of light are actually hazy, indistinct figures.

Countless figures, densely packed, numbering at least hundreds of millions, were enough to make one's scalp tingle.

These figures, like fireflies, eventually merged into the body of Shi Tianjun, like rivers flowing into the sea.

As hundreds of millions of light points poured in, a surge of powerful and magnificent energy once again flowed into Shi Tianjun's body.

This energy, like a tide, eventually spread throughout the entire chaotic space.

"You actually slaughtered so many living beings!" Just as Shi Tianjun's energy filled the entire chaotic space, a beastly figure slowly emerged.

With just one glance, Shi Tianjun realized that this beastly figure was exactly the same as the primordial behemoth he had seen before.

Upon seeing this beastly figure, Shi Tianjun's usually calm and composed tone finally changed, "Primordial Beast, you have actually developed self-awareness!"

"Thanks to you all!" The figure of the primordial behemoth looked at Shi Tianjun, its tone suddenly turning cold.

Shi Tianjun looked at the primordial beast and continued to question, "What do you seek?"

"I am free!" The primordial behemoth disdained to lie, and it uttered a voice as resounding as a great bell.

"Then there's nothing we can do!" Upon hearing this, Shi Tianjun's tone suddenly became sharp.

The primordial behemoth desires freedom, while Shi Tianjun desires to control it; the conflict between them is irreconcilable.

"I never expected there would be such a challenge. Man proposes, God disposes!" Staring at the beast shadow in mid-air, Shi Tianjun's body began to radiate intense light.

"You've slaughtered so many living beings without suffering any backlash. I think I know what secrets you hold." The primordial behemoth looked at its ever-expanding living space without showing the slightest fear.

Gray light also emanated from its body.

This light, like streams of turbid water, could devour everything in the world.

A battle of control and resistance, a clash of energies, a struggle of consciousness erupted within the primordial behemoth.

The battle was extremely fierce, with constant collisions causing terrifying bursts of law energy to emanate from the bodies of the primordial behemoths.

At one moment, the aura around Shi Tianjun flickered slightly.

The primordial behemoth seized this weakness and immediately launched a counterattack, regaining much of the initiative.

Upon seeing this, Shi Tianjun wore a bitter smile. "I never imagined that what brought me success would also bring me down."

"As expected, after a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation, this achievement is not so easy to digest," Shi Tianjun muttered to himself.

The primordial behemoth sensed the change in Shi Tianjun's aura and uttered a sarcastic voice, "You are attempting to use the split soul to fuse these hundreds of millions of living beings. While doing so may avoid backlash, it will also stimulate the split soul that shares the same origin. After all, your actions are tantamount to slaughtering hundreds of millions of his compatriots, and he will definitely become disloyal to you."

“Origin Beast, you’re right. This is indeed somewhat unexpected. It proves that the human heart is the most unfathomable thing.” Shi Tianjun sighed deeply, his voice filled with melancholy before becoming impassioned. “However, the chaos of so many eras should come to an end! You, this heretic, should also be destroyed.”

"Kill!" As he spoke, his figure transformed into a rainbow of light that illuminated the heavens and the earth, and he crashed directly into the primordial beast.

"No, you can't kill me. I am immortal. Before long, I will be resurrected from the ashes. As long as this universe is not completely destroyed, I will return!" The primordial beast roared, uttering a voice full of resentment.

Shi Tianjun smiled faintly, "You can indeed return, but only if... this place remains unclaimed."

"You want to..." The primordial behemoth understood the implication in Shi Tianjun's words, and it roared unwillingly, "What are you trying to achieve by doing this? You're just doing all the work for someone else."

"I don't want anything, I'm just tired and weary. This distorted universe will eventually come to an end," said Shi Tianjun.

At that moment, a deafening roar suddenly spread throughout the chaotic space.

After the violent explosion, everything returned to calm. The phantom of the primordial beast disappeared, and the figure of Shi Tianjun also vanished without a trace.

In the entire chaotic space, there was only one vortex, silently rotating and constantly accumulating energy.

It is unknown how much time has passed, but at some point, a giant, colorless, chaotic egg shattered within the vortex.

"What is this?" Li Qian stepped out of the chaotic giant egg, shook his head, regained some consciousness, and then began to receive a flood of memories.

"Lord of the Universe!" After standing silently for a long time, he finally understood what had happened, and he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment and shock, "I have become the Lord of the Universe!"

After overcoming the initial shock and astonishment, Li Qian couldn't help but let out a complex sigh, "I never expected that Shi Tianjun would actually perish together with the primordial beast!"

After taking control of this chaotic space, Li Qian had a thought, and the body of the primordial beast in the Chaos Valley, that is, the deer whose body had the sun, moon and stars shining inside, suddenly changed and transformed into a person in the next moment.

This person is none other than Li Qian!

At this moment, he appears ordinary, but with just one glance, he can draw people into an endless cycle of chaos.

He strode out of the Chaos Valley, and the next moment, his figure appeared outside the valley. He saw four figures standing there, their eyes slightly open and closed.

With just a glance, these four towering figures completely crumbled into ashes. In their final moments before dissipating, Chaos Lord suddenly laughed, "You are not Shi Tianjun, you are not Shi Tianjun, hahaha... I never expected this, never expected this! After struggling for countless epochs, in the end, it all became someone else's wedding dress! Shi Tianjun, and we, are all a joke..."

Li Qian simply watched quietly as the four turned into dust and disappeared into the void.

After the four of them turned to dust and disappeared, Li Qian stirred his mind and swept across all the heavens and myriad realms.

In an instant, whether it was a dimensional plane or the present world, all the scenes of this universe were imprinted in his mind.

He snorted coldly, then snapped his fingers. Instantly, countless planes and battlefields, including void beasts, ferocious beasts, magical beasts, cultists, decayers, and even the immortals left over from previous eras—any enemy that fought against the human civilization of the Fifth Era—vanished in an instant, turning into dust.

This scene is quite similar to a scene from a superhero movie in my previous life.

Near the Chaos Valley, two powerful beings at the Creator level, Cloud Master and Rain Master, were joining forces to resist an attack by five equally powerful Decayers. They were struggling to hold on and were in a rather disheveled state.

However, in the next moment, those five decaying beings at the Creator level turned into dust without warning and disappeared without a trace.

Just as they were puzzled, at the center of the core dimensional plane, where Chaos Valley was located, a giant, as if creating the world, stood up.

"My name is Li Qian, and from this day forward, I shall be the master of the universe!" The giant took a step forward, his figure already crossing layers of dimensional barriers, arriving on the ancestral star, leaving behind a magnificent and resounding voice that echoed throughout the universe.

Upon hearing this, the survivors of the remaining human civilization of the Fifth Era couldn't help but weep with joy, and some even roared wildly.

Ignoring the survivors' jubilation, Li Qian took a step forward and found himself in a ruined area.

Suddenly, a river flowed before his eyes, and within that river, it seemed as if billions of years were passing by.

The moment the river appeared, the ruins began to change...

One by one, the abandoned buildings were restored, roads were paved, and streetlights began to flicker... In just a short time, the scene before our eyes had completely changed.

This change is like the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields happening in an instant.

Li Qian stood there, looking at the restored Lingshui City, and at the Jiaoyang Cultivation Base that was exactly the same as in his memory, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Not far away, figures began to appear out of thin air: Dad Li Chengyang, Mom Han Yuying, little girl Sun Ruirui, Winged Clan woman Wu You, Mo Ziyu, Xue Yuan, Fei Yue, Li Lanying, Teacher Ling, Irina, Lu Ming, Christina…

"Where is this?" Teacher Ling looked at the familiar scene before her and was momentarily stunned.

Feiyue was also somewhat puzzled, "Wasn't I already dead?"

“Xiao Qian…” Dad Li Chengyang and Mom Han Yuying looked at Li Qian standing not far away, and tears welled up in their eyes.

"What on earth is going on?" The little girl, Sun Ruirui, looked around, then couldn't help but scratch her head. "Is this Lingshui City?"

Li Qian opened his arms to welcome the women, and said with a touch of emotion, "Welcome back. Let me reintroduce you. This is Lingshui City, our hometown!"

[The End!]
