Chapter 1 This Beast Taming World is a Bit Strange
Chapter 1 This world of beast taming is a bit strange...
The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is the unknown.
deep sea……
It slowly sank into the dead-silent depths of the sea!
I have no strength...
All I could do was endure the almost suffocating pain and gaze at the shimmering water, where the sun, distorted and split into nine parts by the refraction of light, was piled up together.
Pale light spilled down, illuminating the writhing shadows of the deep sea, as if the dark mother goddess had opened her arms...
"don't want!"
The painful growl startled the birds that were about to make close contact with the peach blossoms, and they flew away cursing.
Lu Yu, who was napping against a tree while wearing sunglasses, suddenly woke up with a start, gasping for breath as if he had just escaped from drowning, in order to relieve the suffocating feeling of palpitations.
Looking around, tall peach trees grow, their branches stretching out, their blossoms resembling wisps of rouge clouds, a pink haze drifting by, as if a painter had depicted a spring landscape.
Thankfully, it's still at the pet breeding base in Dayuan City!
He came to his senses and found a girl in a white dress standing in front of him, holding heart-shaped envelopes in both hands. She had a pure and lovely appearance, a soft and graceful figure, and a beautiful face. Her eyes were as timid as those of a frightened rabbit.
Lu Yu knew he had startled the other person, so he quickly composed himself and forced a smile, saying:
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The terrified girl stammered:
"Um... I wanted to give you... a letter..."
Thinking of that "no" she had just heard, the girl panicked, unsure whether she should hand over the love letter in her hand.
Moreover, from her elevated position, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lu Yu's bloodshot eyes, hidden beneath his sunglasses.
Like a wounded wild animal...
Crazy!
Thinking of all the rumors, fear surged through the girl's heart like a tide. She subconsciously took a few steps back, but then realized that she was wrong. In the end, she was caught in a dilemma and chose to leave in frustration.
She arrived at a large rock in the distance, where another round-faced girl in sportswear was riding on the back of a white wolf. She reached out and pulled the girl in the white dress up, saying in an annoyed tone:
"I told you not to go near this weirdo. During the Beast Taming Awakening Ceremony, he suddenly started yelling that there were nine suns distorted in the sky. Isn't that crazy? Later, he even volunteered to raise pigs, wasting his promising future..."
"That's a Peach Pig, a transcendent creature with silver spirituality..." the girl in the white dress said weakly.
"Look at you, you're still defending him! No matter what kind of supernatural being it is, raising pigs is still raising pigs. My dad said that only raising pet beasts is the right path. Don't get too close to this kind of self-degrading person. Being handsome won't put food on the table. You're so cute, plenty of people will pursue you in the future. If not, I'll be with you!"
Having come this far, the girl in the white dress didn't know what to say and blushed, lowering her head.
"Azure Snow Wolf, let's go!"
The round-faced girl glanced at Lu Yu, who was staring blankly under the tree, and a strange emotion flashed across her face: anger at his lack of ambition and... the pleasure of seeing someone who was once untouchable become corrupted and fall into the mortal world.
However, Lu Yu is now just a roadside weed; birds and fish cannot travel the same path.
The two rode the snow wolf away from the peach blossom forest.
Lu Yu paid no attention to their conversation. He leaned back, resting his head against the tree trunk, gazing at the beautiful peach blossoms blooming like clouds and mist. He pinched his brow to relieve the soreness in his eyes and murmured:
"I've only been in this world for three months, and I've almost lost count of how many nightmares I've had..."
Lu Yu is a time traveler who was born in an orphanage in his previous life. However, through his own efforts and the Machiavellianism he learned from society, he successfully made a lot of money by reselling children's clothing before the age of thirty.
As a result of overwork, he was transported to another world in the blink of an eye, entering the body of an identical counterpart in another world with the same appearance and name, and merging with the other's memories.
Although the time travel was somewhat hasty, Lu Yu remained calm.
They come like wind and rain, and go like dust.
It's his attitude towards life.
Through memories, I learned that this was a beast-taming world, countless times larger than Earth.
In this world, everything has a spirit!
Whether it is beasts and birds, lakes, storms, lightning, or even the radiance of the sun and moon, machines will be born with spirituality and become extraordinary life.
A life form imbued with spiritual power can continuously evolve towards the extraordinary, acquiring supernatural abilities such as fire, thunder, light, and darkness, achieving leaps in life levels, and even giving birth to powers like gods and demons, capable of moving mountains and filling seas, summoning wind and rain.
Humans, according to legend, could also freely manipulate spirituality in ancient times, but history is too far removed, and the only evidence is some incomplete archaeological data. Most people simply regard it as the imagination of the ancients.
The reason for this idea is that if humans directly consume too much spiritual power, it will cause bizarre mutations, turning them into monsters that are neither human nor ghost.
In ancient times, weak but spiritual humans naturally became the favorite prey of many monsters, so tribes were often attacked by monsters, leaving the fields littered with bones.
For a long period of time, humanity could only survive by sacrificing to powerful beings in exchange for protection.
Until a sage discovered humanity's special talent: by contracting with extraordinary beings, they could create a beast-taming space, accelerate the growth of their beasts, and use the beast-taming space and their pets as filters to perfectly absorb spiritual power.
From then on, the roles of offense and defense shifted!
Countless human geniuses rose up, drove out monsters, built human cities, and now a brilliant civilization has been born.
The Beastmaster profession, as a key factor in the rise of humanity, has been refined and developed over a long period of time, and has been divided into professions such as combat, breeding, medical care, potion making, and divination, subdividing the power of pet beasts and integrating them into a part of human civilization.
A powerful beast tamer can protect a city, shielding ordinary people from attacks by extraordinary creatures, and even allowing them to further explore the wilderness and acquire abundant resources and wealth.
Of all things, only beast taming is noble!
The first step for a beast tamer is to awaken their spirituality. Although it is only the starting point, it has already surpassed most ordinary people!
Awakening is divided into nine stages.
The first three tiers are of the Crimson Copper Spirituality, corresponding to the Servant Tier pet.
The middle three tiers are Silver Spiritual, corresponding to Elite-tier pets.
The third tier is Golden Spirituality, corresponding to the Commander-level pet beast.
Then comes the Morning Star tier, corresponding to the Overlord tier of pet beasts. As for higher tiers, they are too far beyond Lu Yu's reach. Golden Spirituality is the mark of a mid-level talent; they enjoy numerous residency policies and benefits in any city.
However, he was not an orphan in this life. He had parents: his father was a Gold Spirit and his mother was a Silver Spirit at its peak. They were on missions for the Alliance.
A perfectly legitimate second-generation heir.
On the day he transmigrated, he had just turned eighteen and was queuing up to awaken his beast-taming talent.
Beastmasters will awaken their own talents, thus planning their future path in beast taming.
For Lu Yu, whether it's elemental enhancement, possession, secondary professions like potion making and material gathering, or even the ability to hear history...
He doesn't need to worry about anything; his parents will find him suitable and excellent pet cubs.
However, just as it was his turn, devastating news arrived: his parents were attacked by an evil cult while on a mission and both died.
After awakening his talent, Lu Yu became the madman the girls had previously described as having nine suns.
Later, he even took the initiative to apply to the school's peach pig breeding project. In everyone's eyes, he was a negative example of someone who had been discouraged and given up after suffering a setback.
However, only Lu Yu knew that he wasn't crazy!
Because of his awakened talent, called the "Eye of Truth," he can see the talents and information of his pets by consuming his own spiritual power.
When he first awakened, he was unable to perfectly control the Eye of Truth, which caused a flood of information to rush in, making his head throb with pain. He instinctively tried to look up to avoid the crowd, and what he saw was a scene he would never forget.
The eternal sun, from one, became nine. Their phantoms constantly shattered and piled up, growing deformed like bloated balls of flesh, and eventually taking over the sky.
Words cannot describe His essence; no language can capture His strange and mysterious nature, as if He were a product that defied all rules and order, both great and chaotic.
Within that magnificent radiance, numerous figures seemed to wriggle.
Each one was enormous, and its eerie, chaotic shadows spread outwards like tree roots, their immense power enough to shatter stars.
They formed a circle, their bodies bound by countless crimson chains, and seemed to be gnawing at something, making eerie sounds that dyed the entire sky blood-red.
then……
He thought it was a world anomaly and shouted to warn everyone, but he collapsed after only a few steps due to the depletion of his spiritual power and was rushed to the hospital.
The final diagnosis was minor corneal damage and macular burns caused by looking directly at the sun.
Although in this world of beast taming, such injuries can be mostly healed by a healing beam from a healing-type pet, the patient will still need to wear sunglasses for a period of time to recover and avoid being exposed to strong light again.
After waking up, no one believed anything Lu Yu said; they simply took it as a hallucination caused by a mental breakdown.
Even Lu Yu began to doubt himself.
Because when he risked it again, peeking out of the corner of his eye.
Above the sky, the sky was clear and bright, and the sun shone with dazzling light, sacred and radiant, so bright that Lu Yu couldn't help but squint and tears rolled down his cheeks.
It was as if everything was just my own illusion.
However, the Eye of Truth could only view information about pets after that. Even if he hid in the ward and imitated animals, it wouldn't work. Instead, when the nurse saw him, it proved that his mental state was not right.
Lu Yu also wanted to forget all of this, but the nightmare about the strange changes in the sun continued to haunt him, and as time went by, it eroded his sanity more and more frequently.
"It's not me who's sick, it's the world!" Lu Yu murmured softly, his gaze resolute.
Having witnessed the horrors hidden in the world, even the spring sky and summer flowers became poison in his eyes after that.
This intense sense of insecurity made Lu Yu crave power even more.
The fastest way is to become a true beast tamer!
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly heard obscure murmurs that overlapped together, like an ancient and mysterious melody.
Although he had never heard this language before, Lu Yu understood its meaning:
"Gate of Truth, successfully bound..."
As soon as the words were spoken, the world before them was suddenly swallowed up by endless chaotic currents, and in the blink of an eye, they entered a dark void.
In the chaos, Lu Yu seemed to transform into an indescribable, great being, dwelling atop the endless sludge of chaos, ineffable, boundless black, boundless darkness.
Billions of arms gently danced, shaking the chaotic world.
Chaos shattered, giving rise to endless earth, fire, wind, and water, giving birth to the world and life, but it was soon swallowed up by the chaotic sludge and returned to nothingness.
"This isn't the Beast Taming Space, this is..."
Lu Yu was shocked and subconsciously wanted to see his current appearance, but an inexplicable sense of crisis stopped him.
Once you see it clearly, it could very well lead to unknown horrors.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu subconsciously looked down and saw countless bubbles swirling around his arm, with billions of rays of light converging.
Each one radiated an iridescent halo, accompanied by mysterious whispers, as if expounding the highest truth.
They came together and transformed into the shape of a broken portal, as if they contained all the truths of the world, past, present, and future, eternally unique.
As Lu Yu's gaze fell upon them, a large number of bubbles began to dissipate, and what appeared within them made Lu Yu's pupils shrink in surprise. He exclaimed in astonishment:
"This is……"
