Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!.

Chapter 458 A formidable foe

Li Cunxu was astonished. Rewriting the rules of the world was something that only a god could do.

Are those who scheme and plot divine beings?
Impossible. Due to certain special reasons, the gods ceased to exist after the Age of Giants ended. In the Age of Humans, it was forbidden for gods to become gods.

There is no native deity in the entire world today.

Furthermore, what gods cultivate is authority, not laws; even if they wanted the laws of all phenomena, it would be useless to them.

"That powerful figure must be a peak Emperor-level expert, and not just any peak Emperor-level expert, but one with power comparable to a god. Such an expert was able to briefly exchange blows with the old president and not be defeated," Li Cunxu thought to himself.

With such a formidable enemy targeting Xiao Ruan, Li Cunxu was filled with worry, feeling utterly insecure.

What's even more frustrating is that the formidable enemy is lurking in the shadows, while Li Cunxu is in the open.

Looking at the principal before him, Li Cunxu suddenly felt a glimmer of hope and asked, "Principal, can you find that powerful figure?"

If he could find him, Li Cunxu would do everything he could to beg the old chairman to kill him.

"We can't find him; that person is very good at hiding."

The principal was quite certain because when he looked back, he hadn't been able to clearly see the person's appearance.

That person had been so careful in hiding all this time, clearly a master of concealment.

Li Cunxu asked somewhat unwillingly, "What about when the old chairman took action?"

The fact that the principal couldn't find that person doesn't mean the old chairman couldn't. After all, the principal is the old chairman's alter ego, and is naturally weaker than the original.

The principal said, "Him? It might take a few years to find him."

Li Cunxu knew it was hopeless as soon as he heard that the old president was extremely busy with so many things to deal with in the alliance. How could he possibly have several years to find someone? Besides, that person was targeting the Law Master of the Myriad Phenomena Law, not the human race. There was no reason for the old president to take action against him.

After much thought, Li Cunxu realized there was only one way: to hide himself and go into hiding.

Faced with such a formidable opponent, Li Cunxu had no choice but to retreat; the gap in skill was too great.

She hoped to hide so he wouldn't be able to find Xiao Ruan.

Even if I can't beat you, I can at least avoid you.

Anyway, time is on my side. At worst, I can lie low for a few decades and wait for the emperor to come out of seclusion.

Li Cunxu shared his idea with the principal, who agreed.

The principal nodded slightly. "Lying low and waiting for the right opportunity is a good approach."

However, before hiding, Li Cunxu summoned Xiao Ruan and asked the principal to check her.

Li Cunxu was worried that Xiao Ruan had previously exposed the Myriad Manifestations Law, and that powerful figure had secretly come to his side and placed tracking marks on Xiao Ruan.

Li Cunxu was cautious and suspicious, and believed that such a thing was very likely.

Besides, the principal is helping with the inspection, and it won't cost anything, so there's no harm in having it done.

The principal gave Xiaoruan a comprehensive check-up.

As they were inspecting, the principal suddenly exclaimed in surprise, as if he had discovered something that surprised him as well.

Li Cunxu asked, "What's wrong?"

The principal said, "I have good news and three bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"good news."

Li Cunxu thought for a moment and said.

The principal said, "You don't need to rush to hide. I'm sure that even if your little softie reaches the Emperor level, he won't rush to harvest the laws of all phenomena. I estimate that he will wait until your little softie is upgraded to Emperor level 9 before harvesting it."

Li Cunxu exclaimed in surprise, "Wait for me, Little Soft Emperor Nine, to harvest Little Soft's Myriad Manifestations Law? Is that person so confident in himself? Isn't he afraid that Little Soft will turn the tables and kill him?"

The principal affirmed, "Don't be afraid."

Li Cunxu didn't know what the principal's basis for this judgment, but he believed that once Xiao Ruan reached Emperor Level 9, she could turn the tables and kill that person—this was Li Cunxu's confidence in Xiao Ruan's strength. Li Cunxu asked, "Principal, what do you think is the likelihood that the powerful figure will wait until Xiao Ruan reaches Emperor Level 9 before reaping her rewards?"

The principal said, "98%."

"98%? Principal, you didn't misspoke, did you? Did you say 9.8% instead of 98%?"

"That's right, 98%."

"How can it be so high? Even if he's not afraid of being killed in return, isn't he worried that if Xiao Ruan reaches the Emperor level, she'll be snatched away by another Emperor-level expert?"

Xiao Ruan's Law of All Things is highly sought after by other emperors who possess rare laws.

Li Cunxu could already imagine the scene when Xiao Ruan reached the Emperor level and was targeted by many Emperor-level powerhouses.

The principal then said with certainty, "Don't worry, because your little softie will never die at the hands of other emperors."

"why?"

Li Cunxu became more and more confused the more he asked.

The principal said, "This problem is related to bad news."

Li Cunxu asked, "What are the three pieces of bad news?"

"You guessed right again with the first piece of bad news: that powerful figure has set up a tracking method for Little Soft, and I can't deal with it."

With good news already in front of us, whether or not the tracking methods are erased is not that important. In any case, that powerful figure will not make a move before Little Soft Emperor Nine.

Li Cunxu asked curiously, "If the old chairman were to take action, could he solve the tracking problem?"

The principal said, "Him? Probably not."

"Is this tracking method so advanced? Even the guild leader would have a hard time dealing with it?"

"His tracking methods are deeply integrated with Xiaoruan, so even if a god intervenes, he can't solve the problem."

The principal paused, his eyes deep, and said, "The second piece of bad news is that the other party is a super strong expert who uses the Law of Destiny."

Li Cunxu was shocked that the Law of Fate actually had a ninth Emperor. Then, his scalp tingled. The Law Masters of Fate were the most difficult to kill and the most unpredictable.

At the same time, Li Cunxu also sensed a crisis.

That powerful being probably wanted to absorb Xiao Ruan's myriad laws to enhance his own destiny law.

The White Spider's law of cause and effect is also a kind of law of destiny, and it can also absorb the law of destiny of the strong.

In other words, once Li Cunxu's pet beasts, Xiao Ruan and Xiao Baizhu, reached the Emperor level, they would be coveted by that powerful figure.

"How did you know he was using the Law of Fate?"

“That person’s fate is already deeply intertwined with Xiao Ruan’s, which is why I can’t untie his tracking methods.”

Li Cunxu asked, "Is it possible to track him down by connecting his fate with Xiao Ruan's?"

The principal said irritably, "I can't even break this bond of fate, so do you think I can find him by following the connections of fate?"

"The third piece of bad news is that the person used a 'borrowed' method on Xiaoruan."

He lent his fortune to Xiao Ruan, protecting her. If other powerful emperors came to kill Xiao Ruan, she would escape danger thanks to his fortune. However, the downside was that what is borrowed must be returned. He could force Xiao Ruan to return the fortune she borrowed. If Xiao Ruan borrowed too much, even someone with the strength of a ninth-level emperor would instantly lose the power to resist.

No wonder the principal deduced that there was a 98% chance that the person would wait until Xiao Ruan reached Emperor Level 9 before killing Xiao Ruan and reaping its Myriad Laws.

Little Soft Emperor Nine poses no threat to him. He will definitely wait until the Law of Myriad Phenomena is fully grown before harvesting him.

As for not giving him the opportunity to lend the goods to Xiao Ruan?

That's impossible. Everyone knows Xiao Ruan's Myriad Manifestations Law. When he breaks through to the Emperor level, he will definitely encounter other Emperor-level powerhouses. As long as he encounters danger in the battle, he will have the opportunity to lend his luck to Xiao Ruan.
