Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1579: 441: Farewell, Blue Star
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
This mythical beast of the time system had come into existence nearly at the outset of the cataclysm within the Senluo Beast Zone, only to vanish completely afterward!
Though it ascended to immortality ahead of its counterpart, it now trails far behind in power.
The Blue Star Alliance entered maximum vigilance upon facing this unfamiliar mythical-level creature.
Lin Su paused his journeys for the moment, and after consulting with his six young companions, he stepped forward as the alliance's mightiest member to try communicating with this time system mythical being.
Following their discussion, the heavy weight on his mind gradually lifted.
He had first suspected another Time Master, yet this entity displayed no deep-seated hostility.
The time system mythical being, called Mo Hen, explained that from its emergence, it lacked any kin and thus struggled with social interactions.
Its innate racial power follows the Time Stasis path, but upon achieving immortality, Mo Hen found its skills lacking and independently delved into the Time Prophecy rules from the ground up.
Mo Hen's immortality breakthrough came after Dixuan's, largely due to the heavy suppression from Dixuan's fears in Senluo.
Even so, through those rules, it faintly foresaw the mythological shift of that era.
From that point, Mo Hen departed Senluo, found a hidden retreat, and avoided all worldly entanglements, to such an extent that its immortality ascension went completely undetected.
Only now, the massive disturbance of attaining mythical status proved impossible for the Blue Star Alliance to overlook.
By its very essence, Mo Hen cherishes tranquility and immerses itself in grasping time system rules. It holds no ill will toward the Blue Star Alliance and desires peaceful coexistence without meddling.
It displayed keen curiosity toward Qiuqiu, another time system entity, and took the initiative to propose sharing insights on time system rules.
Mo Hen further revealed that, upon hitting mythical rank, it foresaw the eventual fading of Blue Star's Barrier, ushering in yet another world-shaking upheaval on Blue Star.
Once Blue Star's Barrier vanishes, it intends to depart this place and venture into the vast unknowns beyond.
After Lin Su relayed the details, the whole Blue Star Alliance let out a collective exhale of relief, promptly allocating a restricted zone for Mo Hen that forbids unauthorized entry.
With the danger resolved and the emergence of a new mythical-level beast observed, every immortal pushing for breakthrough grew even more resolute.
…
Fifty-three years post the mythical transformation.
Wei Miao achieved the mythical level.
In that very moment, colossal waves surged across Blue Star and its oceans, as though rejoicing the arrival of the mythical sea path.
The human Beast Tamers, forever concerned over shifts in Blue Star's balance, quietly released their pent-up worries.
Considering Wei Miao's past actions, it shouldn't present a grave danger to human Beast Tamers.
And so it proved to be.
Upon reaching mythical level, Wei Miao headed to Mo Hen's domain for a friendly bout and knowledge swap, then came back to the Blue Star Alliance to assure the leaders that all was stable.
This action fully eased the constant unease plaguing the alliance's leadership.
Watching these events unfold, Lin Su felt a surge of sentiment stirring within him.
Had Shen Yunshan, right after hitting legendary level, massacred mythical beasts like the Martial Emperor and other titans, Blue Star by now would face a calamity rivaling Shenwu's in horror.
Each deed carries its ripple and consequence, maybe fated from the start.
…
Sixty-one years after the mythical transformation.
In the eighth year since Wei Miao's ascent, Blue Star gained its third mythical-level presence.
This breakthrough marked a fresh milestone, belonging to Xie Venerate.
A turn both surprising and expected.
Xie Venerate, ever aligned with humanity, held firm to that loyalty.
Thus, with two mythical-level allies upholding the present order, any fresh mythical arrival would find it nearly impossible to drag things back to the chaotic cataclysm days.
…
One hundred eighty years following the mythical transformation.
Next, two additional immortals on Blue Star triumphed in reaching mythical status, including the ever-discreet Snow Bear and Yan Rong, the inaugural immortal-level being from the cataclysm's dawn.
Now at mythical level, Yan Rong brimmed with arrogance over its immense new strength and briefly entertained ideas of upending the peace, but swiftly dismissed them upon reflecting on the three other mythical guardians backing humanity.
During this year, Lin Su's time on Blue Star hit two centuries.
A legendary Beast Tamer boasts a thousand-year life, so even at two hundred, he retained his eternally young appearance.
Across more than two hundred years, he roamed countless Blue Star locales and crossed paths with many souls, only to bid them farewell again.
His orphanage companions and the amusement park proprietor had departed this world long ago.
Lin Su joined every one of their farewell rites, casting a final gaze at the Xue Henqing Breeding Base erected where the old orphanage once stood, before departing Yanhuang District 32.
The birthplace that shaped him now held no remaining anchors.
He also sought out his former preparatory camp squadmates, those battle-hardened allies from desperate fights, each carving out their separate existences.
Except for Zhang Xiaoyu, who climbed to legendary level and, mirroring Lin Su, gained a thousand-year span, the rest topped out at ritual or epic tiers.
Not everyone with five contracted beasts can leap straight to legendary; like prior stages, it demands a certain innate gift.
This talent-based barrier to entry lay beyond Lin Su's power to alter.
For comrades who couldn't attain legendary status, Beast Tamers' longevity gains proved modest, leaving Lin Su to offer subtle support to their lineages instead, honoring the bonds of yesteryear.
