Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1521 - 426: The Gift of Reincarnation (Double Feature, Finale Countdown: 25)
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
The essence of this power was somewhat comparable to the constraints of sea vows, yet it lacked that same binding nature.
Following a series of discussions with Lin Su and its other companions, Lanlan finally discovered what this energy was called.
The Power of Faith.
Even though Lin Su and the five juniors had only provided a brief explanation, Lanlan quickly became captivated by this novel force, much like Wei Miao from Blue Star had been.
Because of this...
"I want to experiment and see if the Power of Faith can be transformed into a rule," Lanlan remarked with a mischievous grin.
"A faith rule?" Lin Su mused aloud.
Hypothetically, the path of faith evolution is capable of producing an immortal rank existence.
When an immortal emerges from such a path, they undergo a complete transformation into a Faith Totem, inheriting the full spectrum of that Totem's power.
Take, for instance, the faith evolution beasts of the Totem Gai; upon reaching immortality, they would possess Gai’s absolute strength and the legendary destructive capabilities associated with Gai.
Naturally, the rules they command would have to align with the rules of that specific Faith Totem.
However, Lanlan had no interest in that.
Being a Faith Totem itself, Lanlan sought something else.
It desired to master the fundamental rule that governed the Power of Faith itself.
If one viewed the Power of Faith as a specific attribute, Lanlan intended to seize control of it from its very source.
Lin Su wasn't certain if such a rule even existed, but there was no doubt that if Lanlan succeeded, its standing regarding rules would be equal to any of its companions.
It would undeniably be a rule of an incredibly high tier.
"Very well, let us attempt it together," Lin Su encouraged softly.
"Understood!" Lanlan replied with an obedient nod.
With that, the cultivation paths for the five juniors were now clearly defined.
Lin Su then shifted his gaze toward the light cocoon, which continued to pulse with a vibrant aura.
He wondered what form Tata would take after this transformation and what future path it would ultimately select.
...
Once the Five-colored Gem was pressed firmly against its brow, Tata’s consciousness began to drift into a blur.
It felt as though it had plunged into a kaleidoscopic world, where endless rays of five-colored light danced before its vision.
Enveloped as if in a mother's warm embrace, a sense of tranquility Tata had never known began to fill its heart.
Within this multicolored radiance, tendrils of energy started to peel away from Tata’s frame.
Fragments of five-colored gems, shards of five-colored phoenix cards, clusters of five-colored stars...
These were the various five-colored treasures Tata and Lin Su had collected from several Heavenly Rank Secret Realms.
Though Tata had absorbed these items, the majority of their potential had remained untapped.
While it seemed wasteful, the Tata of the past hadn't been in a position to worry about such efficiency.
As these five-colored objects were stripped away now, Tata’s mingled energies began to evaporate.
Every benefit granted by those items vanished at once, replaced by the increasingly refined and pure aura of its original species.
"My gift was never meant to be utilized in such a manner."
A gentle, lighthearted laugh rippled through the multicolored space.
Tata’s eyes flew open.
Despite the voice being entirely foreign, Tata instinctively recognized the speaker.
"Mother Goddess?!"
The source of the voice remained hidden, showing neither form nor aura, yet Tata felt as though a pair of eyes watched from the void—eyes brimming with sorrow and compassion—as a soft whisper reached its ears.
"You truly are a fortunate child."
At those words, an uncontrollable grief welled up in Tata’s heart, causing heavy tears to stream down its face.
"There is no need for tears."
The voice resonated softly, and as if its speech carried the weight of law, the sorrow in Tata’s heart was immediately wiped away.
A hand emerged from the emptiness, lightly tapping Tata’s forehead. "This may be the final remnant of my power. Tell me, my child, what is your wish?"
"I..." Tata said, drying its eyes.
As the voice spoke, an invisible force seemed to sweep through its heart, clearing away all confusion and leaving only its most genuine desires.
"I want to evolve! I want the power to attack!"
"I want to be able to protect Lin Su just like everyone else!"
"But I don't want to give up the power I have now!"
"In the future, I want to use the Recovery Power to heal the world where I was born!"
"What a thoughtful child." The hand patted Tata’s small head, the voice now tinged with genuine amusement. "Then it shall be as you desire."
"If the day comes when you can truly mend it, consider it a gift for yourself."
With a final soft chuckle, the hand vanished, and the voice began to fade from the space.
The released five-colored items transformed into vibrant torrents, swirling rapidly around Tata’s body.
This time, there was no waste and no loss of energy.
In the void, a teardrop-shaped five-colored gemstone rotated slowly, casting a brilliant light before flying toward Tata’s forehead.
In that peaceful, radiant space, Tata’s physical form underwent a transformation of unprecedented intensity.
Its body stretched and grew, filled with an immense, contained power.
Intricate patterns began to manifest across Tata’s skin, covered by layers of thick, soft fur that seemed to pulse with explosive potential.
Drawing perhaps from Tata’s memories of its previous Electric Control Mage form, its tail detached and reshaped itself into a long magic wand.
Five-colored energies surged slowly along the length of the staff.
Then, at the wand's tip, a sequence of star rings materialized.
Five distinct star rings appeared, glowing with vivid shades of blue, green, red, yellow, and white.
They circled the tip like satellite rings.
The teardrop gem on its forehead expanded into a "Y" shaped structure, adorned with a series of shimmering divine halos.
Within this new form, mysterious powers began to swell.
Its evolution had truly commenced.
Simultaneously, while Lin Su and the five juniors were preoccupied guarding the cocoon, a multicolored figure stepped silently out from the light.
It looked at Lin Su for a brief moment, revealing a rare flicker of unexpected emotion.
Then, it moved forward, crossing the distance beyond the island in a heartbeat.
Its physical appearance remained unchanged, yet the very fabric of space seemed to shrink beneath its stride.
Past countless islands and sea territories, across the entirety of the Endless Sea.
Past the Eastern Extreme, West Profound, North Divine, and South Barren Domains.
In a flash unnoticed by any living soul, it stepped out of the Divine Martial World.
It entered... the realm of chaos.
Infinite worlds, small as grains of sand, flickered in and out of existence in an endless cycle of rebirth and decay.
This sight, which would have shattered the sanity of most creatures, looked entirely familiar to it.
It looked toward a figure sitting cross-legged in the void—a humanoid being composed entirely of dark blue crystals. Its mouth moved, and ancient syllables vibrated through the emptiness.
"It has been a long time, my old friend."
