Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 468 Zhen Qing's Decision (4318 words)

The void has corrupted heaven and earth.

In their final battle, the ancient gods and demons were almost completely wiped out.

The Demon King Chen Fan, after absorbing the power of billions of gods and demons, annihilated a Void Overlord and all the Void Monarchs, and then sent the surviving gods and demons to the "Vast Divine Realm" opened by Ye Hongyan.

God Realm Reborn...

The Demon King has also entered the cycle of reincarnation.

Countless millennia later, a small skeleton was born from the demonic womb within the dark abyss of the divine realm.

The Ancestral God of the Dark Abyss, the Demon Dragon Venerable, silently guarded this little skeleton.

In this dark world, the grandfather and grandson live a funny yet heartwarming life.

The little skeleton climbed upwards step by step, finally emerging from the dark abyss, and then, step by step, turned the realm of gods upside down.

Once, many gods wanted to join forces to destroy this demon.

But for some reason, nothing ever came of it in the end.

Some say it's because the Dutian Empress of the Dutian Night Clan intimidated all the gods and demons.

Some people say that the ancient ancestral gods of the major pantheons seem to value that little skeleton highly...

In short, every time the little skeleton encounters a crisis, a mysterious force appears to help him overcome the danger.

In the end, this little skeleton became the Demon King of the Dark Abyss...

Many powerful gods felt threatened.

But after the Demon King unified the Dark Abyss, the Dark Abyss's cohesion became incredibly strong.

The Angel God King, the Ancient Demon Lord, and the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, who were originally enemies of the Demon King, eventually became sworn brothers with him after a series of battles...

Years later, the Demon King, who once opposed the entire divine realm, became the King of the Divine Realm and the ruler of heaven and earth!

However, the void invades...

A great calamity befell the divine realm.

The Demon King led all the gods and demons to fight against the mysterious and unknown void power, but in the end they all perished.

Twenty thousand years later...

Void demons sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Without the Demon King, the divine realm is incredibly fragile.

The ancient ancestral gods, however, have not yet made a move.

The gods and demons of the heavens were driven into a desperate situation.

In order to consolidate their divine realm, the gods of the vast divine realm planted the World Tree, allowing its roots to extend into countless smaller worlds to devour their spiritual energy. This resulted in the complete depletion of spiritual energy in smaller worlds like Blue Star.

More than 10,000 years after the World Tree absorbed countless small worlds, the various small worlds, which were almost in the end times of Dharma, could not withstand the corruption of the void, and space began to break down, with countless small worlds becoming interconnected.

Cracks appeared one after another in the sky above Blue Star and Tianyu Realm.

Every crack connects to an unknown world.

The otherworldly invasion that people feared was coming soon...

……

In a classroom at the War God Academy in Tang Kingdom on Blue Star, a teacher is telling the story of the "King of Demons".

This teacher is none other than Zhen Qing, the deputy leader of the War God Pioneer Group who was rescued by Chen Fan.

Zhen Qing entered the Ancient God Realm with the main force of Blue Star after the passage between Tianyu Realm and Blue Star opened.

After a long period of fighting in the Ancient God Realm, Chen Fan's breakthrough caused an anomaly within the Ancient God Realm, so he left the Ancient God Realm again with Li Qingyan and the others.

This time, after hearing the words of the Heavenly King, Zhen Qing made a bold decision...

……

The classroom was packed with people.

Even the corridors outside were packed with people.

But the scene was very quiet, with only Zhen Qing's voice.

"This world needs heroes..."

Zhen Qing said, "Chen Fan is such a hero."

"And this hero, after reincarnation, came to Earth, came to the War God Academy in East Sea City, and came to this classroom."

The entire classroom erupted in excitement.

"He saved the Tang Kingdom, saved Blue Star, saved the Heavenly Feather Realm..."

Zhen Qing's eyes were a little unfocused as she said, "There must be someone fighting a bloody battle for this world to have any hope."

"It's wrong that all the burdens are on his shoulders..."

Suddenly, a female student raised her hand and stood up, saying, "But teacher, we're so weak. We can't even leave Earth, let alone go to the realm of gods. How can we possibly share the burden on the Demon King's shoulders?"

"Go and kill," Zhen Qing said slowly. "Fight with all your might to annihilate the demons."

Zhen Qing pointed to the towering tree outside the window and said, "At Minister Li Mu's request, Chen Fan's tamed beast, Xiao Hei, has brought great fortune to Blue Star."

"The star power of Earth today is hundreds of times greater than when Chen Fan was on Earth!"

"Whether it's you or your tamed beasts, your cultivation and strength have improved by leaps and bounds..."

"On the other hand, because the Demon King has reinstated the 'Way of Beast Taming,' anyone can now become a Beast Tamer and easily sign contracts with around five beasts... You know, back when everyone except Chen Fan was still at the War God Academy, even the top genius Ye Hao could only sign contracts with four beasts!"

The students nodded repeatedly.

They had heard countless stories about Chen Fan and Ye Hao.

Zhen Qing continued, "For every monster or demon you kill, you help the Demon King collect some void energy."

"Therefore, regardless of our cultivation level, we can all help the Demon King!"

The students applauded wildly.

A student asked, "Teacher, there are rumors that the Demon King has moved both Earth and the Heavenly Feather Realm to the God Realm. Is this true?"

"Before Xiao Hei bestowed creation upon Blue Star, the spiritual energy of Blue Star suddenly underwent a drastic change some time ago, becoming dozens of times stronger than before!"

Hearing this, Zhen Qing laughed and said, "If you want to know whether Blue Star has reached the God Realm or not, you'll have to find out for yourselves..."

"Strive to become stronger. When you become stronger, you will be able to transcend Earth and enter the starry sky, and then you will naturally know."

Another student asked, "Teacher, I heard that Xiao Hei has become an Ancestral God, is that right? Back when he was at the War God Academy, he always caused chaos and got beaten up every day, is that true?"

A crack suddenly appeared in the void above the classroom.

Little Black poked his head out and said, "Who is it? Who's complimenting me on my looks?"

A group of students stared in disbelief.

Immediately, all the students stood up and looked at Xiao Hei with curiosity.

Zhen Qing was about to speak...

Ye Hongyan reached out, grabbed Xiao Hei by the neck, and pulled Xiao Hei back.

The void rift closed once more.

But that fleeting glimpse still caused the classroom to erupt in excitement...

"Teacher, was that Empress Ye Hongyan just now?"

"Teacher, I heard that Little Black back then was a Soul-Eating Bird. Is he even more powerful than the Empress of the Capital now?"

"Teacher, did Xiao Hei and the others just tear apart space? Like in the movies, can they tear apart space now?"

"Teacher, is it only those who reach the ninth rank or above who can go to the Dutian Night Clan?"

……

When the classroom was in complete chaos.

Above the War God Academy, Li Mu and Zhen Qing fought side by side.

"Have you made your decision?"

Li Mu looked at Zhen Qing with a somewhat serious expression and said, "You are now in the mid-stage of the God King realm. Do you really intend to create countless clones and go to the lower realm?"

After a moment of silence, Zhen Qing said, "I had actually thought of this method before the God King of the Capital mentioned it..."

"Thanks to the benefits brought by Chen Fan's signing, my cultivation level has increased at a speed that I never dared to dream of."

"However, compared to him and Hongxiu, they are still worlds apart."

"So I've been thinking, he's been helping us all along, so how can we help him in return?"

"Or rather, how can we, so weak and insignificant, protect this world?"

"The Void God Body transformed its sixty trillion cells into clones, which gave us endless imagination..."

"Instead of staying in the God Realm and relying on Chen Fan's light to break through, why not split off these sixty trillion clones to help Chen Fan do something?"

Li Mu fell silent.

Previously, the divine realm had sent several large armies to the mortal realm.

Each time, it's in the millions.

However, relatively speaking, a million is still far too few.

However, with Chen Fan's help, a powerful individual who has unlocked the seventh level of the Void Divine Body can create hundreds of trillions of clones!

Gods and demons with cultivation levels above God-King possess enough power to support so many clones.

If a being at the level of a god-king is willing to do this, the energy of the void and the power of faith will increase exponentially!

When the God King of the Capital heard Chen Fan say that there were only a little over a hundred years left, he immediately proposed this method.

But in reality, others had also thought of this method.

only……

For a being of god-king level to split into clones and travel to the lower realms, the risks are simply too great.

There's not much to say about Feng Tianlin splitting off a clone and heading to the lower realm.

Even if this clone perishes, it will only lose a tiny bit of power.

But the God-King split his avatars to the limit; the resulting loss is unimaginable…

This truly is a case of "a hero departs and never returns"!

Now, not only Zhen Qing, but also Blue Star and Tianyu Realm, Du Tianye Clan and Angel God Clan, Tianlong Clan and Ancient Demon Clan... many Void God Body level 7 experts have volunteered to prepare to split their clones and go to the lower realm.

As the absolute leader of Blue Star, Li Mu is now feeling very heavy-hearted.

His idea was to have Zhen Qing leave behind a clone to work as a teacher at the War God Academy.

At the same time, he also left a clone of Zhen Qing in the Dutian Night Clan.

This has a bit of a "preserving the flame" feel to it.

Even if countless "Zhen Qing" go to the mortal realm and never return, Zhen Qing still exists in the divine realm.

……

Looking at the azure sky, Li Mu suddenly laughed and said, "Is it possible that we were actually one of the ancestral gods who fought alongside Xiao Fan back then?"

Zhen Qing: "..."

Li Mu said, "Xiao Fan is capable of reincarnation. There's no reason why an ancestral god as powerful as him could have died completely, is there?"

Zhen Qing: "(︶︿︶)"

The minister certainly has a very creative mind.

This possibility certainly exists.

But didn't you change the topic too quickly and abruptly?

But then Li Mu said, "So, could it be that you already had feelings for Xiao Fan back in ancient times? That's why Heaven arranged for you to meet him here, just like it did with Chu Xuan and Ye Hao in Donghai City?"

"Minister, you... what did you say?!" Zhen Qing was caught off guard and blushed instantly.

Li Mu shrugged and said, "There's no one else here, stop pretending... Back in the Dutian Night Clan, I wasn't the only one who saw the infatuated look in your eyes when you were looking at Xiao Fan."

"I...I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you!" Zhen Qing moved and disappeared into thin air.

"Women..." Li Mu shook his head and sighed.

"What's wrong with the woman?" Gangzi emerged from the void behind Li Mu.

"Ha!" Li Mu exclaimed in surprise, "Gangzi, don't try to scare people like Xiao Hei by appearing out of nowhere!"

Gangzi blinked and said, "I heard them say that many people are preparing to split off all their clones and go to the lower realm? Can Emerald and I do that too?"

"No," Li Mu said seriously. "Others can, but you can't."

Gangzi was taken aback: "Why?"

"We have already become ancestral gods, and can create more clones. Moreover, we have mastered the laws, so even if we go to the lower realm and encounter powerful void demons, we have nothing to fear."

Li Mu turned around and silently looked at Gangzi.

Gangzi met his gaze and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Li Mu said, "All the powerful figures on Blue Star and Tianyu Realm were signed by Xiao Fan before he went to the God Realm."

"Theoretically, I am his tamed beast, and you are also his tamed beast."

Gangzi nodded: "Yes."

"But that's not actually the case..." Li Mu said, "He only truly controls you and a few others, including Xiao Hei, understand?"

Gangzi blinked: "I don't understand. You've already signed a contract with the boss, so isn't he the one controlling the beasts?"

"It's different," Li Mu shook his head and said, "The feelings are different... I don't know how to explain it."

"In short, you and Xiao Hei definitely benefited the most from Xiao Fan's breakthrough, which is why you broke through the fastest."

"This isn't jealousy; it's the result of my long-term observation and research."

"Observation and research..." Gangzi paused for a moment.

Li Mu said, "I know you all want to do something for him."

"But people are already doing the splitting and creating clones, and many people are doing it."

"Just focus on your cultivation."

Gangzi said somewhat dejectedly, "But we're still too weak..."

"I thought that after becoming an ancestral god, I could help the boss with many things."

"As soon as it arrived at the forbidden area that day, hundreds of clones appeared, but they were all shattered by a casual flick of that tentacle..."

"Those kinds of beings aren't everywhere," Li Mu comforted him. "Of the nine forbidden areas in the God Realm, the most terrifying is the Valley of Death for Heavenly Gods."

"You've only grasped the laws of space; you can't withstand the attacks of that kind of being."

"But what if you, like Xiao Hei, mastered two or even three laws?"

Gangzi's expression immediately improved.

Li Mu continued, "Before you came, I was talking to Zhen Qing. I said that I suspected we might be reincarnations of ancestral gods from ancient times."

"Huh?" Gangzi looked at Li Mu with a strange expression.

What on earth is Li Mu thinking?

Then Li Mu continued, "Back then, besides the Demon King and the Empress of the Heavenly Realm, there were many powerful ancestral gods."

"However, in the end they all perished... no, they perished even before him, turning to ashes."

Gangzi turned to leave, but Li Mu stopped him.

Li Mu said, "What I mean is that there is a destiny at play, and by staying by his side, we can do more."

"For example, Xiaobai..."

"Who among you knew before that Little White would actually be the spirit of the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade?"

Damn, this topic has circled back again and again... Gangzi scratched his head.

Li Mu can be a bit unreliable at times, but actually... he's pretty reliable.

"Alright then..."

Gangzi said, "Then Emerald and the others won't leave. We'll stay by Boss's side no matter what."
