Please be my partner.

"Roar!~"

The Nether Emperor roared, and the character 'King' faintly appeared between his brows. Countless ghosts appeared, surrounding the Nether Emperor. They fawned and flattered, they cowered in fear, they... were worshipping the absolute ruler!

Seeing this scene, a thought vaguely arose in Mellen's mind... a ghost!

The Ghost Tiger Clan is born with the ability to control the ghosts. In fact, in the beginning, this ability was not unusual among all races.

But when the Ghost Tiger Clan occupied the Desolate Abyss, everything changed! Everything was turned upside down!!

The desolate abyss is the final resting place for all living beings in the universe.

In other words, from the beginning to the end of the universe of all beasts, all the dead life, as long as their souls are not imprisoned or guided, will eventually return to the desolate abyss under the cycle of all things.

The Ghost Tiger Clan occupied the Desolate Abyss like a mouse falling into a rice jar. In a very short time, their strength surpassed that of all other races, and they gave birth to ancestral gods and even supreme beings.

The souls surrounding the Nether Emperor were at least at the god level, and many of them were even at the ancestral god level.

Surrounded by countless souls, the Nether Emperor's status rose higher and higher, as if he were standing at an infinite height, looking down at the insignificant Melon below.

Emperor You reached out and grabbed at Mellen. As he drew nearer, his hand expanded infinitely, instantly covering the sky, as if he wanted to hold the world in his hands. Mellen had no way to dodge.

Seeing this attack, Mellen was somewhat emotional. He vaguely remembered that he used to be the one on top, but today he experienced what it felt like to be an ant.

However, Mellen was no ordinary ant; he naturally had a way to deal with the overwhelming power of the Emperor You's high rank.

The eight powers that were used before have converged once again, but this time there is one more... the Time Ring!

The nine forces influence, harmonize, and promote each other, subtly forming a simple cycle. Within this cycle, a pure, clean, and unadulterated fusion power is born.

"Buzz!~"

The power of fusion swayed and spread, and the suppression on the Nether Emperor's position was instantly disintegrated. Even so, the Nether Emperor's attack still carried the power to destroy the world.

"Boom!~"

The clash between the strongest beings tore apart and shattered the deep space of the Myriad Beasts Universe, revealing its dark undertones. Strands of chaotic power surged in, but were distorted and assimilated within the domain of the strongest beings.

Emperor You had already suppressed his arrogance, and his gaze towards Mellen became more serious.

Although he was also struck, Mellen's reaction was far less relaxed than that of the Nether Emperor. However, blood light flashed beneath his feet, and the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus appeared to support him. A layer of misty blood-red fog descended, seemingly thin, yet containing a resilience that even the strongest could not easily break through.

Emperor You scrutinized Mellen for a moment and said, "You do have some skill, but that's not enough!"

Mellen's lips curled slightly as he replied, "Not enough? No problem! Today I guarantee 'enough'! Your Majesty, please witness my true, complete form!"

"Hmm?!" Emperor You's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly looked up at the sky.

The [Dimensional Beast Tomb - Eternal Silent Cemetery] had originally sealed off a large area of ​​the world, but at some point, a hazy and blurry phantom enveloped the entire [Dimensional Beast Tomb - Eternal Silent Cemetery].

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a gigantic maw covered in fangs, seemingly about to swallow the [Dimensional Beast Tomb - Eternal Cemetery] whole!

"Awooo!~"

The [Dimensional Beast Tomb - Eternal Silent Cemetery], which was originally between the real and the illusory, seemed to sense the danger and suddenly materialized. One after another, 'Reverse Life Beasts' appeared. Each of them had power that reached or even surpassed that of the Ancestral God. More importantly, because they were in the limbo of life and death, they would never die. Even if they were destroyed, they would be revived in the [Dimensional Beast Tomb - Eternal Silent Cemetery] in a short time.

As light spread, a radiant sun and a bright full moon appeared. As the sun and moon moved, they emitted boundless brilliance, bringing with them the purest form of destruction.

The illusory dream swept by, and even the 'Reverse Life Beast', which had no intelligence, was captivated by it.

The power of the soul quietly eroded, not only breaking down the 'Reverse Life Beasts' into pure energy, but also attempting to invade the [Dimensional Beast Tomb - Eternal Cemetery], trying to seize control of this ultimate power.

Emperor You's expression changed slightly. He reached out and pulled at the sky, and the [Dimensional Beast Tomb - Eternal Silent Cemetery], which had been integrated into the deep dimension, was instantly extracted by him and transformed into a magnificent suit of armor that he wore.

Only then did the attackers reveal themselves—Merlen's dogs, of course!

After more than a hundred years of adjustments and evolution, Void Dog has completed a new round of adjustments and been reborn.

Garurumon occupied enough space to meet the evolution requirements and successfully evolved into [Infinite Wolf].

In helping Garuru, the golden retriever also transformed into the sun and moon, completing its own fundamental origins by illuminating the world.

As protectors, Xiaoli and Nasus, while not as greatly improved as the three dogs, have still made considerable progress. Moreover, after this period of practice, their teamwork has become more seamless, and the fusion of their rule powers has been further enhanced.

With the return of the five dogs, Spike, Little Red Lotus, Little Li, and Forest Wolf also appeared one after another, and the nine dogs surrounded Mellen.

Although each dog seemed weak and far from reaching the level of a supreme being, when their auras connected with Mellen's, a power that transcended everything and ascended to the highest level slowly emanated from them.

Emperor You's expression grew increasingly solemn.

The dogs' return gave Mellen a renewed sense of confidence, almost as if he were relying on their power.

Mellen spread his arms wide and laughed loudly, "This is my complete form!"

As Mellen finished speaking, starting with Spike, the dogs transformed into streaks of light and entered Mellen's body, a long-awaited... soul synchronization!

Because Mellen has perfected the [Wolf Tamer] class, his soul synchronization is no longer just a resonance at the soul level, but includes everything including the body, spirit, mind, and so on.

When the last little Li merged with Mellen, Mellen felt an unprecedented power. Unlike before when he was just using the dogs' power through the [Wolf Tamer] class, at this moment Mellen felt an unprecedented... fulfillment!

After a brief moment of solemnity, Emperor You suddenly burst into unrestrained laughter: "Hahahaha! Not bad! Not bad at all!! That's more like it!!!"

"Now that you're ready, let's begin the second half!"

On the armor formed by the 【Dimensional Beast Tomb·Eternal Silent Cemetery】, reliefs of 'Reverse Life Beasts' appeared one after another.

A phantom whip appeared in the Nether Emperor's hand. This whip had no beginning and no end. When he held it, it was as if he were only holding the middle section. It was another ultimate power of the Nether Tiger Clan... [Chain of Cause and Effect - Contract of Fate].

Both of them displayed power at the level of supreme experts. The mere clash of their auras triggered a chain reaction of rule collapse, and this reaction was spreading to a wider area at an increasingly rapid pace.

This is the power of the strongest. Although the strongest cannot directly destroy a large universe, given enough time, they can cause far-reaching damage.

Seeing that the two were really fighting, Xuanling's eyes flashed. She did not stop them directly, but waited for them to fight for a while before suddenly intervening in their battle.

Emperor You roared, "Xuanling, what do you mean by this?"

For Emperor You, it was unacceptable whether Xuanling was helping him or Melon.

Xuanling said calmly, "You Emperor, calm down. We have already lost the initiative. If we let you continue fighting, it will only cause greater damage to the Myriad Beasts Universe. In that case, you will not only fail to benefit from this cosmic fusion, but you will also be rejected by the Myriad Beasts Universe. Open your eyes and look around!"

Emperor You regained his senses and looked at the world that had turned into nothingness due to the aftershocks of their battle. He then slowly withdrew his power.

Xuanling said to Mellen, "You have proven your strength, so tell me, what exactly do you want?"

"Live on," Murren said calmly.

Xuanling and Youdi were both taken aback, not understanding what Melen was trying to say.

Mellen shook his head and said, "Just think of it as me wanting more of the myriad beast races in the universe to survive this great upheaval."

Emperor You chuckled and said, "Oh, you want to be the savior?"

Xuanling frowned and said, "Whatever you want to do is your business, but since you've chosen to stand on the side of the Myriad Beasts Universe, you can't hold us back."

"We can give you a place, but you also need to show sincerity. Helping the Myriad Beasts Universe is just the bare minimum. When necessary, you will also need to cooperate with our actions. Do you accept this?"

After a moment's thought, Mellen nodded and said, "Okay! However, I have my own conditions. The authority and territory that originally belonged to the Celestial Dragon Clan will all belong to me!"

Xuanling looked towards the location of the Heart of the World. The Heart of the World was originally damaged by the betrayal of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, and was later affected by the battle between Melon and the Nether Emperor. All the chains of rules were crushed into nothingness, and it would be impossible to recover without a long period of time. In fact, due to the fusion of the universe, the Myriad Beasts Universe could not spare any extra energy to actively repair it.

In other words, the Heart of the World is now not only worthless, but also a burden.

Xuanling and Youdi exchanged a glance and had a secret conversation. Then she nodded and said, "It's fine! With your strength, you are naturally capable of taking over everything that the Heavenly Dragon Clan originally had."

Next, the two sides reached several more agreements, and Xuanling and Youdi left satisfied.

After Xuanling and Youdi left, Mellen stood in the void, lost in thought for a long time, before sighing, "The heart of the world, the core of all laws, the umbilical cord of rules, this is truly..."

Melen's thoughts radiated outwards, issuing a series of orders to the distant Fireseed Alliance.

After doing all this, Melen began to release his own power of rules to repair the damage he had suffered in his battle with the Nether Emperor.

The damage caused by the strongest being is very difficult for the universe to heal, but it is only very difficult.

However, as mentioned before, with the commencement of cosmic fusion, the Myriad Beasts Universe no longer has the resources to repair it.

Mellen's actions undoubtedly did the Beast Universe a great favor.

Of course, since Mellen was the instigator, his help in repairing the damage only offset his wrongdoings, and he didn't gain much goodwill in the Beast Universe.

However, this is just the beginning!

After restoring the area, Melen arrived at the original location of the Heart of the World. Following the remaining patterns of rules, Melen could still faintly sense the true essence of the Myriad Beasts Universe.

Unfortunately, despite being able to sense it, even the strongest beings cannot force their way in due to the repulsion of the cosmic will.

Furthermore, because of the lack of the Heart of the World, it is equivalent to the absence of an externally manifested rule entity, making it extremely difficult to even comprehend those rules.

But it doesn't matter. Mellen didn't come to this territory to gain any benefits. On the contrary, he was prepared to play the 'saint' and use his own power to give back to the universe of beasts!

Chapter 764 To take, one must first give.

To take, you must first give.

This statement contains the most profound investment principles in the world.

Just like Pinduoduo, Meituan, and Ele.me, when they first appeared, they offered all sorts of subsidies and benefits. Those who knew understood that they were doing business, but those who didn't thought they were doing good deeds.

However, once the platform is established, you can easily make money while lying down, and all the initial investment can be earned back a hundredfold or a thousandfold.

Of course, achieving this is not easy; besides having a forward-thinking vision, the most important thing is having substantial capital.

And Mellen has the corresponding conditions.

Melen sat cross-legged in the original position of the Heart of the World, releasing wisps of mist from his body, which were the material manifestation of rules and primordial energy.

In this way, Melen began to communicate with the core of the Beast Universe.

It was a difficult and slow process. Wan Shou Universe accepted all of Mellen's advances, but it remained aloof from his requests to connect, like a high-level womanizer keeping him hooked.

Mellen, on the other hand, became a loyal sycophant, saying, "Even though my goddess has tormented me a thousand times, I still treat her like my first love."

In the initial stages, Mellen invested thousands of times more and only received a fraction of the reward. However, through Mellen's selfless dedication, he gradually accumulated some recognition from the entire universe.

As time passed, once the investment crossed a certain critical point, the ratio of investment to return for Mellen began to subtly change, and the mysterious veil of the 'goddess' was finally lifted for him.

Mellen remained silent, only increasing his investment and dedicating himself wholeheartedly to the Beast Universe.

Three years... five years... ten years...

By the time twenty years had passed, even with Mellen's formidable strength, he had visibly weakened.

Xuanling and Youdi, who were secretly observing Melon's movements, did not understand the significance of Melon's actions at all. However, there was no doubt that Melon's act of sacrificing himself for the greater good was indeed strengthening the universe of beasts. Therefore, they had no reason to stop him.

Finally, through Mellen's efforts, he successfully communicated with the core of the universe for the first time, though it was only the most basic communication.

In this situation, the most we can do is enhance Mellen's understanding of the rules; there's no point in even thinking about any other actions.

While continuing to inject his own rules and power into the Beast Universe, Melen also consumed additional power to replicate the core of the origin in the outside world, which was actually repairing the heart of the world.

This is equivalent to Mellen spending his own money to raise someone else's son, and whatever achievements the son makes after he grows up, it has nothing to do with Mellen.

And just like that, another decade or so passed in a flash.

These few decades are but a drop in the ocean for the merging of the two universes, but for life in the universe, it would be a series of terrifying ordeals.

The large-scale changes in the rules caused a large number of vulnerable life forms to become extinct because they could not adapt to the mutated environment. These extinct life forms then triggered a series of chain reactions, including the destruction of the food chain.

It can be said that the true cosmic fusion has not yet begun; the mere prelude to this fusion will destroy most ordinary life forms in both universes.

Ironically, the mass extinction also led to an unprecedented increase in the expansion speed of the Fire Seed Alliance.

It should be noted that before this, although the Fire Seed Alliance's expansion had been very smooth, it was because of its overwhelming strength. In reality, the resistance and underhanded tactics of various races had never stopped. Some races deliberately migrated to more distant places in order to escape the rule of the Fire Seed Alliance.

But now things are different. Those races that couldn't withstand the cataclysmic changes in the world are now eagerly requesting to be incorporated into the Fire Seed Alliance after realizing that it will provide them with protection. After all, when survival is at stake, freedom and dignity can be put aside.

Even those races that still have the capacity to cope with the catastrophes of heaven and earth have begun to gravitate towards the Fire Seed Alliance, because they understand that, given the current escalation of the disasters, it is only a matter of time before they exceed their capacity to cope, and that time is definitely not far off.

Those groups that had been incorporated into the alliance but had been making various underhanded moves due to their own selfish motives also fell silent at the same time, and now they can only feel fortunate.

In this way, the Fire Seed Alliance grew a hundredfold, and wherever it went, it was like a righteous army that everyone hoped for. The tribes they encountered bowed down and shouted, "The Fire Seed Alliance is here, we are saved!"

The Fire Seed Alliance welcomed all comers and united all races.

The will of all beings converged on Melen, the founder of the Fire Seed Alliance, elevating his status and subtly changing the attitude of the Beast Universe towards him.

The moment the Heart of the New World was completed, the 'rule umbilical cord' began to function again.

Although Murren was only the 'adoptive father,' he truly built the Heart of the New World bit by bit, and through this relationship, Murren's connection with the core of the Roots became increasingly close.

At this moment, Mellen had exhausted most of his strength and was weaker than ever before, but his eyes were frighteningly bright, flashing with a dazzling light that could pierce the sky.

Mellen's lips curled slightly as he fully opened his inner universe to the Myriad Beasts Universe.

A more complete and advanced set of rules surged forth, and the Myriad Beasts Universe, like a cat smelling blood, greedily devoured it.

The smile on Mellen's lips gradually widened, and for a moment, it even took on a sinister look.
