Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 887 - 378: Celestial Tomb Mark! Is It Really a Gift?

"Return home!"

"Come, this is your true home!"

"Heavenly Tomb... eternal slumber..."

"Eternity... immortality... legends... all shall be realized here..."

"Come back..."

"Silence!"

The incessant voices in his ears felt as if they were tearing Su Ping's soul apart.

He instinctively reached to cover his ears.

He tried to block out the voices, yet they seemed to echo continuously within his mind, making it impossible to silence them completely, no matter how hard he tried.

Heavenly Tomb,

it seemed to issue endless invitations, attempting to draw Su Ping into its seductive embrace.

Whoosh...

Suddenly, Su Ping's eyes snapped open.

A snow-white ceiling greeted his gaze, and the afternoon sun still streamed through the window, casting its light onto the floor.

The atmosphere felt serene, yet oppressively warm.

He distinctly recalled dozing off on the sofa, but now, he found himself on a rather ordinary single bed.

It appeared to be an office space.

Beside him, only Long'er stood calmly observing him; no one else was present.

The figure he saw before falling asleep now seemed like a mere phantom.

Su Ping blinked, momentarily disoriented.

However, as if sensing his awakening, approaching footsteps soon became audible. It was Old Qin and Ray Saint.

"Su Ping, how are you feeling? You've been asleep for about two hours."

Seeing the concern etched on their faces, Su Ping felt a surge of reassurance. He shook his head and tentatively inquired,

"And him?"

Ray Saint responded,

"The Legendary Lord has departed. He examined your condition – spiritually, mentally, and physically, everything appears well. However... certain matters require him to consult some records.

He mentioned that upon reaching Dragon City, you will undergo a more thorough examination. The facilities here are insufficient for a complete assessment. In the meantime, you are to address the situation outside once you are fully awake.

Furthermore, regarding this incident, he stated that the Eagle Country will be held accountable and will offer you an explanation."

Su Ping nodded.

He could easily surmise the circumstances unfolding outside.

The conference had concluded so abruptly; there was no need to speculate about the external interpretations of its abrupt end.

If Su Ping failed to reappear publicly, it would undoubtedly cause a significant uproar, potentially tarnishing the reputation of the Dragon Nation as a whole.

Nonetheless, concerning this particular incident, the Dragon Nation had indeed been overshadowed by the Eagle Country, likely suffering a substantial loss of face.

Now, it was up to that individual to take action.

To determine what price they would exact from the other side of the ocean.

With these thoughts, Su Ping nodded. "Don't worry, I'll rest a bit longer. Also, Sister Long, would you mind stepping out for now?"

Long'er cast him a peculiar glance but eventually complied, nodding.

Soon, Su Ping was alone in the room.

Taking a deep breath, Su Ping closed his eyes once more.

Indeed, the moment he shut his eyes, a raspy voice seemed to resurface in his heart and ears.

This voice echoed the words from his dream.

"Heavenly Tomb..."

A shadow fell over Su Ping's heart.

He could sense a pull towards the north of the Dragon Nation,

in the direction of Beiyuan Province, an invitation to advance, to enter.

He knew that was the location of the Heavenly Tomb.

But what exactly had Charles given him?

To elicit such a peculiar effect?

The Celestial Tomb Mark? What was this thing?

This nightmarish summons made Su Ping feel as if he was barely in control!

It urged him to embrace the void of death.

No!

A flicker of determination ignited in Su Ping's eyes. No matter what, he would never become a monstrosity like Charles. He was a Human Beastmaster!

Moreover, and most crucially, he had never taken an oath in his life.

Except for one he once uttered: he would kill Charles with his own hands!

The challenge was that this influence seemed to be relentlessly encroaching upon his consciousness.

Su Ping's current willpower could resist, but what about the future?

The Heavenly Tomb?

He cherished his life dearly.

When faced with uncertainty, Su Ping rarely opted for risky endeavors.

After all, wasn't tending to his fields at home more enjoyable? Researching Pet Beasts, developing the Heart of Myriad Spirits, nurturing powerful Pet Beasts, upgrading the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, and growing stronger naturally.

Ascending levels to vanquish foes and gaining strength through a series of minor victories was gratifying, but wouldn't absolute, invincible dominance be even better?

He was not incapable of achieving such a state.

However, the current circumstances seemed to preclude such a path.

At the very least, the situation involving the Heavenly Tomb made it imperative that he investigate, regardless of the outcome – life or death.

Furthermore, Charles's earlier words were quite explicit.

He had indeed obtained something from within the Heavenly Tomb, and to confront this individual in the future, understanding his origins and capabilities was essential.

Of course, more importantly, he still possessed another hidden card.The unique talent, resurrected from the activation of the Giant Dragon Catalog, the Immortal Dragon Soul, grants Su Ping a single, all-out effort.
