Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 845: Chapter 840: Quest for the Myth Chapter 845: Chapter 840: Quest for the Myth “Death Avatar… I wonder how Dad is doing.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiucha immediately thought of Bai Heguang, and a flicker of concern crossed his face.

“Don’t worry, Teacher is still one of the top warriors in the world; there’s no need for concern.”

Bai Qi patted Bai Qiucha on the shoulder, and though others might not be aware, the feedback from Alpha indicated that the current Jiuyou Minghuang might be no less formidable than top myths like Ao Kong.

Even if faced with a Death Avatar, it wouldn’t be a match for Teacher.

As for the Death incarnation…

If that thing were to be born at this time, it would be the same for anyone who faced it.

“Mm.”

Bai Qiucha gave a slight nod and said, “But even a Death Avatar is very dangerous, after all, Death State isn’t just sitting idly by, so be careful.”

“I understand.”

Bai Qi glanced at the vibrant giant dragon eggs around him and said, “Then I’ll be leaving first, Leader Bai.”

Having said that, Bai Qi waved at Bai Qiucha and the Cowskin Snake before stepping through the portal and disappearing from sight.

Due to the leadership transition within the Dragon God Church, the Black Dragon Tribe’s headquarters immediately became bustling with activity.

The preparations for the ritual, carving the statue for the new Leader, among a series of other tasks, all needed to be completed quickly.

However, Nicholas’s management of the Dragon God Church was indeed spot on, with Beast Soul Warriors and Ferocious Beasts working seamlessly together, and despite being busy, there was not the slightest sense of chaos.

“Seems like this isn’t too bad?”

Watching the scene below where humans and Ferocious Beasts were living in harmony, Bai Qi scratched his nose, coming up with new ideas.

“Forget it, let’s handle Death State first.”

Bai Qi patted Delta on the head, signaling it to leave, but had only gone a short distance when he suddenly saw a flash of green.

“Is this… Jade Power?”

Bai Qi’s eyebrows raised in realization.

Indeed, a huge Green Dragon’s head emerged carefully looking around to ensure there was no one else before fully emerging.

If it wasn’t Nicholas, who else could it be!

“Nicholas, are you here to see me off? You didn’t have to go through the trouble, you should hurry back and take care of the… mmmph mmmph mmmph…”

“Shh! Don’t call out my name!”

Nicholas transformed into human form and clamped his hand over Bai Qi’s mouth, his eyes darting nervously toward the direction of the Black Dragon Tribe. Noticing that no Black Dragon-like unidentified flying objects were present, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Nicholas’s demeanor, Bai Qi understood what was going on and immediately spoke solemnly, “Nicholas, don’t tell me you’re thinking of running away. What about your children?”

“Cough cough… Don’t make it sound so negative. I just thought that with the world on the brink of destruction, it’s somewhat inappropriate for me to be hiding at home, so I decided to accompany you and do something more productive,” Nicholas said, somewhat sheepishly as he averted his gaze. “Your humans also say, ‘The greater good comes before one’s own family,’ and I find that to be quite sensible.”

“Do you even believe what you’re saying yourself?”

Bai Qi’s lips twitched, but upon seeing the exhaustion on Nicholas’s face, he couldn’t help but sigh.

“What has happened to you these past two months…?”

“Two months… Has it only been two months…?”

A look of bewilderment washed over Nicholas’s face, and the complicated emotions in his eyes moved Bai Qi to compassion.

“How about you talk about it?”

Bai Qi settled down cross-legged in front of Nicholas and suggested.

“All right, it has been quite a while since I had a proper conversation with anyone,” Nicholas responded, nodding vigorously. He then began recounting the “exciting” aspects of his dragon life over the last two months.

“After your disappearance, Bai Qi, I didn’t know what to do, and only after I was contacted by the Ba Jieji of the Black Water Tribe, did I remember the existence of the Dragon God Church.”

“I thought since I had nothing else better to do, I might as well properly manage the Dragon God Church. It might come in handy when you return,” Nicholas continued.

“But then, the emergence of Death State disrupted my plans. The tribe split, most Ferocious Beasts fled in all directions, and the Beast Soul Warriors lost their faith.”

“Then I met her…”

“Her? Christine?”

Bai Qi received a handful of sunflower seeds from Husky and listened intently.

“Exactly. Due to the Wing of Death, the Black Dragon Tribe became the target of many. By the time I met her, the Black Dragon Tribe was nearly flattened.”

Nicholas nodded, continuing, “I initially didn’t want to intervene in the tribe’s internal conflicts, but considering the Five-colored Dragon was about to lose another kind, I stepped in and saved her.”

“And then the two of you got together?”

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up as he handed the sunflower seed shells to Gamma.

“Mm… I don’t know if it’s what your humans call fate, but after that, we suddenly had the idea of being together. Since the Dragon God Church also needed a location, I simply decided to stay,” Nicholas explained.

“And then you became a full-time dragon dad, spending your days taking care of the children?”

Bai Qi wiped his mouth and leaned back on a newly materialized recliner made of caterpillar fungus, finding a comfortable position to lie in.

“It wouldn’t have been like this originally, but after Master Aleta learned of my marriage, she rushed over and granted us the Life Blessing.”

A look of sorrow appeared on Nicholas’s face as he said, “It was from that point on that Christine and I quickly had children, and these little ones grew at an alarmingly fast rate, so fast that I couldn’t take care of them properly.”

“I see, I thought it had only been two months, how could you have such big children.”

Bai Qi nodded, taking a sip from the beverage Jie Ta handed over.

“That’s not all. After Master Aleta communicated with Christine, she learned about a secret technique of the Black Dragon Tribe that could condense dragon eggs. Then she re-developed the Black Dragon Nest and astonishingly found a stone stele left by the ancestral Dragon Mother of the Giant Dragons.”

“A stele? I understand, it’s that rocky wall, right?”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, putting on the absurd mask to shield the dazzling sunlight above his head.

“Yes, that stele is a treasure of the Giant Dragon Race, named the Stone of Fecundity. It was originally used to hatch dragonlings, but Akuya discovered a method to cultivate dragon eggs using the power of faith, and then… you see the result as it is now.”

“So that’s how it is. You’ve indeed had a hard time.”

Bai Qi sighed, and Alpha, who had run over to Nicholas’s side at some point, patted his shoulder, as if to offer comfort.

“Thank you.”

Nicholas wiped the corner of his eyes, his expression suddenly becoming odd as he looked at the group in front of him—one person with seven pets.

“Bai Qi, I’m seriously sharing my woes with you, can you not look so amused?”

“Amused? Is that so?”

Bai Qi’s face was full of surprise, but his right hand surreptitiously tossed the remaining seeds into Gamma’s body, and the other pets also turned their heads away, pretending not to understand what Nicholas was talking about.

“Forget it… I do feel better after sharing, go ahead and laugh if you want.”

Nicholas laid back on Delta’s back, his face showing an indescribable sense of relief, while Bai Qi stopped jesting and asked, “So Nicholas, do you plan to leave with us? Is everything okay on Christine’s side?”

Upon hearing Christine’s name, Nicholas’s body shook violently, but he quickly suppressed the fear and said, “It’s fine, I left behind several Jade avatars over there, they should suffice.”

“Okay then…”

Seeing Nicholas’s guilty look, Bai Qi did not expose him; instead, he quickened Delta’s pace.

It may have been a bit unkind, but seeing his friend in such a sorry state, Bai Qi couldn’t bring himself to just leave him behind.

Let’s stick together. Having a Green Dragon on the verge of breaking through to the mythical level by his side would make him feel safer.

Besides, this situation seemed to be taking them back to old times, back when it was Nicholas who protected him as they roamed about.

He suddenly felt a bit nostalgic~
“Let’s set out and begin our quest for Legend!”

…

Federation West.

The Yixiu family residence.

Two months prior, the grand battle between the Federation and the tribes had brought massive destruction to the Western Region, and the Yixiu family, which sealed the Black Fog Serpent, had been ravaged by the Death Round Table, with the Obelisk that served as the entrance to the Great Sun Secret Realm broken off a chunk.

“The Death Round Table really knows how to wreak havoc. A great family has been reduced to this state.”

Looking down at the Yixiu family residence below, its state of ruin still evident despite repairs, Bai Qi couldn’t help shaking his head.

“I just don’t know if the Great Sun Secret Realm has been damaged. It would be troublesome if we couldn’t get in.”

Bai Qi signaled for Delta to approach the Obelisk, only to see a figure flying up from below, blocking his path.

“I was wondering who would be so bold as to invade in broad daylight. It turns out to be the Legend of Apocalypse.”

Malik Ishaw, the Titled Legendary Gravekeeper, approached Bai Qi with a laugh.

“Gravekeeper senior is too courteous. Please, just call me Bai Qi.”

Bai Qi bowed slightly. As fellow members of the Western Family, the Gravekeeper had stayed out of the affairs of the Death Round Table and had instead been diligently protecting human peace.

Just for that, Bai Qi had ample respect for him.

“Hahaha… it’s alright. Within Titled Legendaries, it is common to address each other by titles. You’ll get used to it eventually.”

The Gravekeeper, unconcerned, laughed and said, “But by the looks of it, you should be advancing to the mythical Beastmaster rank soon, just like your teacher, right?”

“Not at all; there’s still a long way to go.”

Bai Qi responded with a helpless shake of his head. In theory, he indeed could advance to the mythical Beastmaster rank, but since Alpha was stuck at his current level, Bai Qi as a Beast Master could not progress either.

“I believe you can do it.”

The Gravekeeper smiled faintly, asking, “By the looks of things, it seems you wish to enter the Great Sun Secret Realm?”

“That’s right. I want to see if I can awaken the Sun Beetle.”

“Awaken the Sun Beetle?”

The Gravekeeper fell silent at this, his face showing a hint of sorrow.

“Unless you have some special method, your plan is doomed to fail.”

Hearing the Gravekeeper’s words, Bai Qi’s expression darkened.

It seemed that the Yixiu family had already ventured inside, and the outcome was far from good…
