Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1566 - 437: Birth of the Seven Kings
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Following a sudden gust, Lin Su and his six tiny companions beheld a vast, shattered realm dominated by towering structures at its heart.
These grand edifices, resembling elegant pavilions, pulsed with overwhelming energy from the Time system.
The instant they entered this domain, Qiuqiu’s Time’s Heart burst forth on its own, pulling Qiuqiu straight toward those imposing pavilions.
A thrill of eagerness pulsed through the Time’s Heart’s beat, much like a long-lost traveler finally heading back to their roots.
Meanwhile, the pavilions vibrated with an otherworldly hum, as though greeting the Time’s Heart’s arrival with a sense of living awareness.
Witnessing this bizarre spectacle, Lin Su along with the other five small beings displayed looks of astonishment.
Is this Time Secret Realm so perfectly in sync with Qiuqiu?
Should the Time Master witness this, it would likely share the same shock as Lin Su and the five little ones.
For despite its power to form a Time’s Heart, it had never encountered such a warm reception inside this hidden realm before.
Clearly, the Time Pavilion possessed a special way to detect if the Time’s Heart stemmed from a true inheritance.
Right then, before the authentically inherited Time’s Heart, the Time Pavilion erupted in radiant splendor.
"I sense the presence of the five-colored item." Tata’s forehead gem shimmered faintly, a gleam of eagerness crossing its features as it bounded forward and vanished into a section of the Time Pavilion.
Since fusing with the five-colored Water Drop Gem and finishing its evolution, Tata had grown adept at locating five-colored treasures.
Whenever a five-colored item lurked close by, the gemstone on its brow could pinpoint its exact spot.
The process of drawing it in was just as straightforward; the gemstone would pull in the five-colored essence, converting it into the vital energy Tata craved most.
Maybe the Mother Goddess simply couldn’t stand the thought of Tata squandering such precious resources so freely.
Elsewhere, once the first wave of wonder passed, Yingying cautiously probed the energies surrounding them.
Before long, its mask started to glow intermittently.
Deep within the Time Pavilion, it detected a force that harmonized with and drew in the Butei Sutra.
Reflecting on how the Time Pavilion—a key legacy site—lay nestled inside the Butei Pavilion, Yin’s spirit swelled with quiet delight.
Was it possible that something equally crucial to Yin awaited discovery in the Time Pavilion?
"I’ll head that way to check it out." With no delay, Yin soared off toward the source of the pull.
"Youyou, you should go as well." Lin Su glanced at the enthusiastic Youyou and offered a warm smile.
Even though Youyou hadn’t managed to form its own Time’s Heart, it still wielded the Rule Power of the time system, allowing it to benefit here too.
"Alright!" Youyou bobbed its head agreeably and hurried to catch up with Qiuqiu.
Stick close to the big brother, and good things are sure to follow!
By the entrance to the Time Pavilion, only Lanlan and Yingying stayed behind to guard Lin Su.
"Lanlan, your advancement might prove the toughest of all." Lin Su softly stroked Lanlan’s tiny head and murmured, "Sure, you draw plenty of Faith Power through the faith path, but lingering on Blue Star for decades or more would sharply reduce that influx."
Lanlan’s core reservoir of Faith Power resided in the Endless Sea of the Shenwu world.
Should Lin Su dwell on Blue Star for a full century, equating to just a single minute in Shenwu time, the Faith Power Lanlan gathered from Shenwu over that century would compress into merely a minute’s accumulation from Shenwu.
Currently, bolstered by Faith Power, Lanlan’s rule domain edged toward the sixth realm ahead of the others, boasting the swiftest progress among the six small ones—yet once they shifted to Blue Star, its pace would undoubtedly falter.
"I get it." Lanlan dipped its head, evidently having mulled this over already.
With deliberate slowness, it lifted its paws, revealing a heart-shaped gem in ocean-blue hues cradled within.
The Heart of Faith.
This Rule Artifact, which Lanlan forged upon reaching immortality using surplus Rule Power, excelled at hoarding Faith Power. It had received an even greater enhancement after venturing into the Casting Pavilion’s Heavenly Rank Secret Realm.
Now, the Heart of Faith brimmed with an enormous surge of Faith Power, and that power visibly swelled at an alarming rate.
"From the instant the Martial Emperor collapsed, I began soothing all the beings in the Endless Sea." Lanlan whispered gently, "And that’s granted me even more Faith Power."
The Endless Sea’s inhabitants viewed the clash between humans and strange beasts in this racial conflict with tangled emotions.
As strange beasts themselves, they recalled the harsh dominance once imposed by the Southern Wilds’ strange beasts long ago.
Thus, deep down, they leaned toward rooting for humans to defeat the Time Master.
In the end, humans and the Endless Sea’s strange beasts had shared a peaceful coexistence for ages, free of meddling—especially with the Purified Water Spirit now shielding the Endless Sea.
The Martial Emperor’s downfall stirred a blend of sorrow and heightened dread for what lay ahead among them.
Once the Time Master wiped out humanity, the Endless Sea stood to lose everything and might suffer far worse torments.
In this critical juncture, Lanlan’s efforts to calm the waters held immense significance.
"Even if the Faith Power influx drops after we return to Blue Star, stockpiling enough beforehand gives me the assurance to push into the ninth realm or even the mythical heights beyond," Lanlan chuckled lightly, "And who knows, I might even converse with my own kind."
Wei Miao’s ongoing pursuit of the Sea Vow Rule actually aligned well with Lanlan’s Faith Rule without clashing.
Therefore, with sufficient opportunity, Lanlan could very well cultivate a faith-based path right on Blue Star.
