Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1608 449: Inspector's Token (Double Issue, Countdown to Finale: 1)

"Regarding Blue Star's location..." A faint smile crossed Shou's lips, "Open your eyes wide and watch carefully."

With those words from Shou, a vast world suddenly materialized vividly in Lin Su's vision.

Lin Su beheld all the continents and oceans he and the six little ones had journeyed across during a thousand years, witnessed Blue Star's form shatter into countless glowing specks within the Autumn Leaf Breeding Base's guardroom, fading away as if it had never been.

The protective barrier encircling Blue Star crumbled right after his death, allowing hordes of mythical beasts and freshly ascended mythical Beast Tamers to breach it and venture into the starry expanse.

Beyond that starry sky, he spotted numerous stars of varying sizes akin to Blue Star, each teeming with myriad races flourishing and evolving powerfully.

Blue Star's mighty experts made their initial forays onto those distant stars, engaging in talks and exchanges with the inhabitants there.

In contrast to the varied realms within chaos, each governed by unique rules and power frameworks, Blue Star and these stars shared identical laws and systems, coexisting within one grand universe.

Yet this universe stood apart from the realms entirely.

It shared a profound, ineffable bond with Shou, causing the two to merge seamlessly in Lin Su's perception.

Shou embodied the whole of this universe, while the universe comprised Shou's complete being.

In that instant, a profound epiphany rushed through Lin Su's mind.

This might represent an existence surpassing even the Dao Origin Realm that Shou had referenced before.

The link tying Shou to Blue Star now clicked into place—the Ghost Energy Stone crafting Shou's form had emerged on Blue Star, sparking the dawn of the Beast Taming era.

Contemplating how the entire Beast Taming era stemmed from the being standing before him stirred intricate feelings in Lin Su's heart.

Still, he pushed those reflections aside for the moment and kept scanning the full expanse of the universe, eager to spot another familiar world.

Myriads of stars flashed by in a blink as he surveyed from one cosmic edge to the opposite, but the cherished world from his memories remained elusive.

Lin Su grew quiet briefly before murmuring softly, "I haven't found Shen Wu."

"That's because..." Shou hesitated for a beat, "After you awoke, you haven't looked at yourself."

Look at myself?

Stunned, Lin Su instinctively turned his gaze inward upon himself.

A completely fresh world revealed itself to him.

The bulk of that world's territories felt intimately known—the Beast Taming Space he and the six little ones had constructed and refined across millennia.

That one-sixth portion of the Beast Taming Space, once veiled in impenetrable mist despite their efforts, unveiled its authentic form now that Lin Su had broken the seal.

The Four Domains occupied the four cardinal points—southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest—divided by the immense Endless Sea.

The once-misty region turned out to be Shen Wu.

This fused world, blending Beast Taming Space and Shen Wu, mirrored Lin Su himself perfectly.

Just as Shou mirrored the universe encompassing Blue Star.

While Lin Su's realm formed a lone spherical domain, Shou operated on a superior plane.

This revelation sent Lin Su's steady heart into wild upheaval once more.

Blue Star equates to Shou, and Shen Wu to me?

Certain prior mysteries began to clarify in his mind, only for fresh uncertainties to swarm in their wake.

Immediately after, within the northern sector of Shen Wu's Four Domains, Lin Su spotted the six little ones alongside Xie Venerate and Rong Venerate, who had restored all calamity-slain lives post their victory over the Time Master and Seven Kings, plus the revived Martial Emperor, his mentor, and long-lost friends.

Has Shen Wu's catastrophe concluded?

Shock hit Lin Su first, followed swiftly by comprehension.

Without doubt, Shen Wu's temporal progression diverged sharply from chaos.

The very moment his sight shifted there, Shen Wu's time aligned fleetingly with chaos, rekindling the pact bonds linking the six little ones to Lin Su.

In haste, the six little ones relayed to Lin Su all events unfolding since their Shen Wu homecoming, filling him in completely.

"Don't worry, I'll return as soon as possible."

To ease the six little ones' frets over his plight, Lin Su offered comforting words before withdrawing his focus with some reluctance and facing Shou anew.

After a short hush, he posed the question once more, "Why?"

Though the query felt disjointed, Shou grasped Lin Su's intent perfectly.

"Across endless ages, I've wondered endlessly about the final shape you'd assume before me." A faint smile played on his lips, "I must admit, you exceeded my wildest expectations."

"This will be a very, very long story. Do you want to hear it?"

Lin Su nodded with vigor.

He sensed this tale would unravel numerous lingering puzzles.

Thus, Shou paused to gather his thoughts before beginning deliberately.

"Chaos is the ultimate."

"In ancient times, supreme powers suspected realms beyond realms existed, that our chaos might not stand alone, yet their might fell short of touching those frontiers, much like realm-dwellers barred from exodus."

"But in my eyes, chaos is the only one."

"Although it brims with wild, turbulent energies, it fosters all creation."

"Chaos births realm upon realm, and through them, indirectly sustains the lives dwelling inside."
