Beast Taming: My Intelligence System Chapter 922 - 572: The Secrets of the Weird God

The sky above the Deceit Realm hung thick and gloomy, even the sun casting a dim, oppressive light. Such an environment, Ye Bai mused, was perfectly suited for the cultivation of eerie-type illusion beasts.

Ye Bai considered the possibility of conquering this peculiar world, envisioning it as a vast personal farm.

With such a resource, he could dominate the Blue Star Plane, providing every citizen of the Flame Country with an eerie companion.

As Ye Bai stepped into the Deceit Realm, Celestial Minor Star and Celestial Secret Star made their own entrances.

"The calculations of the Celestial Protector indicate that the Deceit Realm holds significant importance for our Heaven and Earth Association," one stated. "It could even serve as our second base. Once conquered, we can reshape it to be ideal for our association's needs."

"If certain individuals had been willing to act against the Flame Country, we would not find ourselves in this situation now."

"However, the Celestial Protector has seen fit to seal them away, allowing us to vent our frustrations."

"With the two of us Celestial Masters, who have been active for a thousand years, bringing our power to bear, this small Deceit Realm will be easily subdued!"

Both Celestial Minor Star and Celestial Secret Star entered the Deceit Realm.

The wilderness within the Deceit Realm presented a stark, barren panorama.

The trees bore withered peach scales, and when they tore open, the flesh within was a blood-red hue, appearing as though drenched in gore.

The fruits themselves, resembling human faces, gave off an extraordinarily eerie aura.

"The outer world was not always like this," Ye Bai observed. "Only after being influenced by the inner world did the flora become so peculiar."

"These plants have absorbed considerable Yin Qi, leading to their eerie transformation," Shadow explained. "These peach scales are invaluable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for us eeries, but for humans, they are simply poison."

"They must first be purified of their Yin Qi by an eerie before humans can consume them, and even then, the taste is exceedingly dry."

Shadow casually plucked the largest peach scale from a branch, casually popping it into its mouth and chomping down with gusto.

Juice the color of blood dripped from its maw as it extended a crimson tongue to savor the taste.

"For us eeries, the flavor of peach scales is delectable, akin to sweet fruit," Shadow elaborated. "However, for humans, they are dry and difficult to swallow."

At this point, Ye Bai posed a question to Shadow: "Shadow, these wildly mutating plants and animals? They’ve mutated because of the Yin Qi, correct? For you eeries, isn't such abundance readily available in the inner world?"

"Why then are you eeries so eager to venture into the outer world?"

Shadow let out a sarcastic laugh. "You should understand the principle that solitary Yin cannot flourish."

"In the inner world, there is only Yin Qi, and nothing can truly grow. We merely absorb the Yin Qi to sustain our existence."

"Furthermore, our method of empowerment, as dictated by the Eerie God, is through the constant preying upon one another."

"Only in the outer world, where the 'eerie' possess the very breath of life, can we find sustenance capable of enhancing our strength."

"This is why eeries strive by any means necessary to reach this place."

"Otherwise, remaining within the Deceit Realm means constantly risking being preyed upon by other eeries."

Shadow spread its hands, a gesture of apparent helplessness.

The Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly watched Shadow devour the peach scale with such evident enjoyment, its eyes widening in fascination.

Seizing an unguarded moment, it extended its own tongue, and in a flash, snatched a peach scale, biting down with considerable force.

The Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly instantly felt a profound sense of revulsion, so intense it was as if its very soul was shaken.

It slumped to the ground, limp as discarded mud, the partially bitten peach scale rolling from its mouth and skittering across the dirt.

Shadow regarded the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly with a look of utter bewilderment.

"Did I not just explain? Only eeries find this palatable; for anyone else, the taste is exceptionally repulsive."

"One taste might leave you disgusted for an entire lifetime."

"Humans only resort to consuming peach scales when faced with absolute starvation."

Ye Bai imagined Shadow was likely rolling its eyes at the creature's folly.

The Sunflower Fairy displayed a look of resignation, deeming the creature incorrigible in its gluttonous curiosity.

The Sky-Swallowing Roc, in a display of embarrassment, covered its face with a wing, unwilling to witness the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly's mortifying ordeal.

Ye Bai's own shadow seemed to tremble, and it appeared the Netherworld Hell Wolf was also silently mocking the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly's plight.

"Alas, Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly, you are truly beyond hope," Ye Bai sighed, his tone laced with resignation.

Just then, Ye Bai's attention was drawn to a faint gray light emanating from the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly.

The gray light gradually coalesced, forming into a Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm.

However, this particular Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm possessed a dull gray exterior, its eyes glowing a menacing blood-red.

"It appears that, restricted by the rules of the Deceit Realm, the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly cannot readily produce multiple offspring," Ye Bai surmised.

The unparalleled advantage of the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly lies in its innate capability to generate clones instantaneously, adapting its form to the most advantageous attribute dictated by its surroundings.

Without the ability to manifest these clones, its battle prowess would undoubtedly suffer a significant decline.

"Sunflower Fairy, I urge you to attempt the creation of a clone yourself," Ye Bai proposed.

The Sunflower Fairy brought her hands together with considerable force, causing the very earth to convulse.

In the ensuing moments, colossal and ferocious sunflower duplicates materialized.

"It appears the Sunflower Fairy's strategy of employing clones is also directly impeded," Ye Bai observed.

Not long after, these sunflower clones began to wither and fade, one after another.

"It is indeed fortunate that we conducted this test at an early stage; discovering this limitation during a critical juncture would have proven most troublesome."

"It seems the fundamental laws of this middle-sized world exert a certain influence upon us who are from the outside."

Ye Bai thoughtfully rubbed his nose as he spoke.

"This phenomenon stems from the world's consciousness actively resisting our presence. From the perspective of the world's consciousness, external entities such as ourselves are comparable to invasive viruses, and once this resistance manifests, it is not a force easily dispelled."
