Beast Taming: My Intelligence System Chapter 921 - 571: It’s Easy for Outsider Gods to Take Charge (Part 2)

They yearn to escape the inner realm, to experience the joys of the surface world for a brief period. However, patience is required until an opportune moment presents itself.

Should these peculiar entities force their way into the surface world, they would be instantly absorbed by its governing rules, leading to their complete dissolution. Conversely, when the surface world intrudes upon the inner realm, no such consequences occur.

For an extended duration, the two realms have existed in a state of mutual dependence, and maintaining this equilibrium has become increasingly arduous. It is inevitable that one realm will eventually crumble, while the other reaps substantial rewards.

Therefore, the peculiar entities' pressing objective in breaching the inner world and causing chaos is to dismantle the surface world, thereby facilitating significant transformations within the inner realm. By achieving dominion over the myriad worlds of the Deceit Realm, they stand to gain immense benefits and earn the favor of the Deceit God, evolving into even more formidable beings.

Now, Ye Bai feels compelled to initiate a systematic counteroffensive. His immediate priority is to consolidate the world's dominion and subjugate the majority of the peculiar entities, actions that will also provide considerable aid to the Flame Country!

Peculiar entities are manifestations of codified laws; their rapid advancement hinges solely on engagement in slaughter. The more extensive the bloodshed, the swifter their progression, and this efficacy extends to all life forms, even divine beings.

What if a peculiar entity were to achieve the feat of slaying a god and assimilating its divine soul? Might such an event give rise to an entity akin to the Deceit God?

In an instant, a potent aroma of blood saturates the entire town. The shadow deceit, bound by a demon bear ritual contract, commences its voracious consumption of the bloody essence permeating the air. This airborne sanguinity bolsters the shadow deceit's strength, propelling it towards becoming a more potent existence.

It let out a loud belch, exclaiming, "It's been ages since I've eaten this well."

The aura surrounding it visibly intensified.

"Ever since my escape from the inner world, it's been a long time since I've felt this satisfied after a meal."

"My escape was only possible by latching onto a high-tier peculiar entity, remaining undetected."

Through Ye Bai's careful inquiries, he came to understand that even within the confines of the inner world, peculiar entities engage in mutual slaughter, treating each other as mere playthings for their higher-tiered counterparts.

Despite its lineage tracing back to the Deceit Emperor, it remained nothing more than an insignificant trinket.

"Do you possess any intelligence regarding the Deceit God?" Ye Bai was keen to ascertain the Deceit God's appearance.

"I am unaware. Only the High Priest of the Deceit God Temple has had the privilege of witnessing the Deceit God's form."

"There are precisely six Deceit Gods within this world, each endowed with the power to forge heavens and earth."

"Their controlled laws exhibit considerable diversity."

"The Deceit God Temple, established in both the inner and surface realms, was conceived by the Deceit Gods as a means to facilitate the complete integration of the two worlds."

"The Deceit God Temple possesses an independent consciousness, existing as a being that is neither alive nor dead."

Is this not, in essence, an immortal sacrificial spirit?

Ye Bai stroked his chin, lost in contemplation.

"Very well, let us venture forth to investigate the Deceit God Temple. I am intensely curious about its contents!"

The shadow deceit tugged at Ye Bai's hand, its expression one of apprehension.

"No, we cannot enter the Deceit God Temple; it is fortified with formidable barriers erected by the Deceit God. Entry is permissible only to those expressly invited. Once, a space deceit skilled in spatial manipulation attempted to breach the temple and was violently dismembered by the enraged Deceit God. Since that incident, peculiar entities have refrained from such reckless endeavors."

"Only upon receiving a formal invitation from a Deceit God do they dare approach the temple."

"Otherwise, they face immediate retribution from the Deceit God, being shattered into countless fragments."

The shadow deceit chattered incessantly, divulging a wealth of information about the Deceit Realm.

Ye Bai found himself pondering the source of the shadow deceit's extensive knowledge of this world's secrets.

"It is said that this world was brought into existence by Pan Deceit."

"Pan Deceit's eyes transformed into the sun and moon of the Deceit Realm, while its body coalesced into the planet's rivers, lakes, and oceans."

"Just as the world's complete fusion was imminent, an unforeseen event occurred: its shadow bifurcated, giving rise to the inner world and birthing countless peculiar entities, while its physical form constituted the surface world."

"My progenitors were once an integral part of Pan Deceit's shadow."

"The Deceit Gods were not indigenous to this realm; they originated from lesser worlds. As these myriad worlds merged, they manifested here, claiming dominion over more than half of the world's territory. The remaining dominion was transmuted into various peculiar artifacts, dispersed throughout the Deceit Realm."

"Our shadow deceit race once held dominion over a portion of the inner world, but the emergence of the Deceit Gods shattered our race."

"Now, the entire inner world is in pursuit, demanding we relinquish control of their dominion."

"The issue is, we have no knowledge of this dominion’s whereabouts; our ancestors, the keepers of this secret, were long ago consumed by the Deceit Gods, becoming extensions of their very beings."

The shadow deceit's account diverged somewhat from the information previously imparted by the system.

"Did you not mention that Pan Deceit established this world?"

"And yet, I've also encountered claims that a mirror birthed this world." Ye Bai voiced his confusion; the system’s intel was infallible, leaving the shadow deceit as the sole source of potential error, its memories perhaps tampered with.

"Because Pan Deceit’s true essence is that of a mirror—he is the embodiment of mirror spirit, do you comprehend?"

"He utilized this mirror to forge the Deceit Realm. During this process, other deceit realms merged, from which the Deceit Gods emerged. Consequently, a severely wounded Pan Deceit met his demise."

"However, prior to his transformation into this world, he managed to sever and seal away a portion of the Deceit Gods. Those manifesting now are the ones who evaded Pan Deceit’s grasp, understand?"

"This world has seen no birth of new gods; what a cruel irony."

"A medium-sized world, devoid of emergent deities, yet overrun by foreign gods – verily, a twisted paradox."

"Foreign gods now reign supreme, transforming the Deceit Realm into their domain."

"Their internal discord, however, presents us with fresh opportunities."

Upon absorbing the shadow deceit’s narrative, Ye Bai began to grasp the nature of this world.

It was indeed a medium-sized world. The Deceit Realm, a creation of Pan Deceit, far surpassed the Sea God World in scale, and its laws possessed a greater stability.

The Sea God World frequently endured devastating hurricane assaults, causing the entirety of its existence to tremble.

"Hastar, could you assist me in locating a human city that actively opposes these bizarre entities, rather than settlements like this town, where humans are merely herded?"

"A trifling matter."

Hastar promptly produced a stone and commenced an incantation.

The stones writhed like nascent worms, soon shedding their casings to transform into butterflies with human faces.

"These are the human-faced butterflies I fashioned, utilizing the residual blood aura of these humans as their genesis."

"The human-faced butterflies are instinctively drawn to the scent of human essence."

"They will guide us to areas where human populations are concentrated."

"Our task is simply to discern if those areas constitute places where humans are kept like livestock."

Ye Bai was struck speechless; his intention was to pinpoint the specific city directly, not to burden himself with such a discernment process.

Well, locating the next city would suffice. It was probable that inhabitants there would be resisting the bizarre entities; he would simply need to pay closer attention.

It was highly likely that those offering resistance also resided within cities under the control of bizarre entities, merely situated in more concealed depths.

Given the unique abilities of the bizarre citizens, Ye Bai intended to exert control over this Deceit Realm, thereby securing a novel force for the impending conflict amongst the gods.

Ye Bai harbored a particular fascination with the bizarre entities' capacity to surmount cultivation levels and vanquish stronger foes.

Should he gain mastery over the world’s dominion, all bizarre citizens would fall under his command.

"Next, we shall take up vigil near a major city."

The sheer size of a metropolis implied, regardless of whether it housed penned humans, the existence of a complete system for bizarre entities—the very power enabling humans to combat them.

Ye Bai also sought to delve into researching knowledge within this domain.
