Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

Zhou Heng's expression was certain: "As a tenth-tier beast tamer, the Primordial Ancient Tree's bloodline must be of Chaos quality, right?"

Father Zhou nodded: "The Primordial Ancient Tree is one of only two mid-level Chaos-quality Beast Tamers to have appeared in the history of the Alliance, and it is now the only mid-level Chaos-quality Beast Tamer in the universe. As for high-level Chaos-quality Beast Tamers, they only exist in theory, and no high-level Chaos-quality Beast Tamer has actually appeared in the world in the past six thousand years."

With a wave of her hand, Zhou's mother conjured three humanoid phantoms made of energy before Zhou Heng: "As for the lower-level Chaos quality, openly speaking, only the beasts contracted by these three supreme beings in the history of our Eastern Alliance can reach this level. Secretly, because the beasts can still evolve and become stronger after the beast masters pass away, the Alliance official, the Beast Master Guild, and the Four Religions and Three Societies may secretly possess one or two beasts of this level. But there will definitely not be many, and there may not even be any secretly. In short, Chaos quality beasts are extremely rare."

Next, we come to the higher-tier mythical quality, which is extremely rare.

Zhou Heng, resting his chin on his hand, asked, "Of the only two in history, and now the only one, where did the other mid-level Chaos-quality Beast Tamer go? Did it perish?"

Zhou's father gave Zhou Heng a brief explanation: "Another mid-level Chaos-quality Beast Tamer in history was the legendary Three-Phase Cosmic Dragon. Its experience was similar to that of the Primordial Ancient Tree; it was also contracted by a Beast Tamer in the era before the cosmic catastrophe."

With another wave of her hand, Zhou's mother caused the images of the three supreme beings to dissipate, transforming into a peculiar phantom of a giant dragon: "After the cosmic catastrophe, the Tri-Phase Cosmic Dragon relied on its special abilities to seal itself away and successfully survived the cosmic catastrophe. More than six thousand years ago, when the Ten Great Evil Races brought myriad races from beyond their domains, the Tri-Phase Cosmic Dragon appeared in the world along with the Primordial Ancient Tree."

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment: "Were only the Primordial Tree and the Tri-phase Cosmic Dragon able to survive the cosmic catastrophe billions of years ago?"

Father Zhou nodded: "Yes, in addition, all humans, beast tamers and extraordinary creatures perished in the catastrophe hundreds of billions of years ago."

Zhou Heng was very curious: "Dad, what exactly is a cosmic catastrophe?"

Father Zhou spread his hands: "I'm not too sure about that. You can ask the ancestor when you get back. Perhaps the ancestor knows more."

Zhou Heng nodded.

Zhou's father continued to explain: "Because the Primordial Tree and the Tri-phase Cosmic Dragon were both once bound by contracts with humans, they have a special affection for humans, so they are willing to continue to protect humans after they are born."

With a wave of her hands, Zhou's mother caused the energy phantom in front of Zhou Heng to shift again, like a slideshow: "Humanity established two major alliances around these two supreme beings: the Eastern Alliance and the Western Alliance. Later, for some unknown reason, the Three-Phase Cosmic Dragon disappeared with most of the members of the Western Alliance, and the Western Alliance vanished into history."

Zhou Heng was filled with a thirst for knowledge: "Where did the Tri-Phase Cosmic Dragon go? Did it leave this universe?"

Zhou's mother dispersed all the illusory images: "Some say the Tri-Phase Cosmic Dragon entered a parallel universe of our universe, others say it entered another timeline of our universe, and still others say it went directly to another universe. I can't say for sure, and perhaps even the three supreme beings in history don't know what happened."

Li Lang belatedly realized: "So there was a Western Alliance in history?"

Zhou Heng chimed in, "This is the first time I've heard of this either."

Mother Zhou smiled gently: "The Western Alliance disappeared at least 5,500 years ago. Because the Eastern Alliance has never figured out exactly how the Three-Phase Cosmic Dragon took the Western Alliance with it, the official records about the Western Alliance have always been very vague. It's normal that you are young and don't know."

Zhou Heng had another question: "There are so few Chaos-quality tamed beasts, what about the extraordinary creatures in the wild? Are there any Chaos-level ones?"

Father Zhou shook his head: "No, it is said that due to the restrictions of the laws of the universe, in this universe, apart from those who sign a contract with humans to become beast tamers, other extraordinary creatures can never advance their bloodline to the Chaos level, nor can they reach the tenth rank."

Zhou Heng concluded: "It seems that the laws of the universe still favor humanity."

Zhou's father patted Zhou Heng's head: "Yes, in this universe, we humans are the darlings of the universe."

Zhou's mother added, "Actually, this is quite normal. Every universe has different laws and different favorites. For example, in the universe where the Ten Evil Clans reside, they are the favorites of that universe."

……

Deep within the starry sky, the Primordial Tree radiated a verdant glow, illuminating the boundless darkness.

A kind human face suddenly appeared on its trunk, and the last branch shook, from which a blue diamond flew out, inside which was a mythical beast cub.

As the Primordial Tree gazed at the blue diamond, its thoughts spanned countless billions of years—an era before the last cosmic catastrophe, an era that belonged to it and its companions.

Unfortunately, billions of years have passed, and almost all of its companions have perished.

The only one left behind was a few mangled remains.

After years of nurturing, although it has regained its vitality, it has become a new life form, and even after its resurrection, it can only barely reach the quality of a myth.

Its former companions will never return.

The branches of the Primordial Tree swayed, and the blue diamond transformed into a blue light spot that streaked through the void, heading towards the star field where humans gathered.

It cast a blessing on the blue diamond, which will automatically find the most promising beast tamer in the universe.

When the young beast inside the blue diamond hatches, it will naturally become this person's contracted partner.

In this way, the beasts within the blue diamond will certainly achieve great things in the future, and may even have the opportunity to return to the Chaos Realm.

……

Zhou Heng observed his ancestral planet through a mirror suspended within the purple palace: "Dad, Mom, how many people are still living on Water Blue Star?"

Father Zhou smiled and said, "Water Blue Star is known as our ancestral star. It is controlled by the East Asian Union, which is more symbolic than practical. The East Asian Union's population has been relocated to other planets. Therefore, no East Asian humans reside on Water Blue Star. Only a group of powerful individuals sent by the East Asian Union are stationed here."

Zhou Heng asked in confusion, "If no one is living here permanently, why send powerful individuals to guard this place?"

Zhou's father said in a low voice, "Because here are the ancestral tablets of all the seventh-rank and above powerhouses who have fallen since the beginning of the Beast Taming Era."

Looking at Zhou Heng, Zhou's mother said with a hint of longing in her eyes: "Moreover, if a Beast Tamer is promoted to a seventh-level Lord Beast Tamer, in addition to their family holding a ceremony to celebrate for them, the Alliance will also hold a special ceremony for them on the ancestral star and confer an official title."

Zhou Heng suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
