Unscientific Beast Taming Chapter 1956: New Cosmic Overlord (3)

Regarding the pursuit of supremacy in the 11th era, Shi Yu held little interest. His sole ambition lay in ensuring the universe's eternal endurance, permitting him and his pets to persist indefinitely. Moreover, he sought to uncover some excitement, like delving into the chronicles of the preceding 10 eras or exploring the epoch of the prior universe bearer, unearthing even more captivating archaeological gems.

Such mysteries eluded even him, the cosmic overlord. Much like Cypos, Shi Yu knew that without chasing such challenging endeavors, an overly prolonged existence would breed tedium.

Shi Yu concentrated on monitoring the universe's transformations and investigating the path to assuming the role of universe holder in the ensuing years.

A formidable spatial surge emanated from the Milky Way.

“A fresh cosmic level emerges!”

Numerous powerhouses from the 11th era detected these intense spatial ripples. Even Cypos, who intended for a sound slumber, found himself roused far sooner than anticipated.

Yet, upon the cosmic levels pinpointing the surge's origin, their lips curled in amusement, and they dismissed it outright.

“It’s merely his pet.”

Shi Yu had long been overwhelmingly dominant. The advent of yet another innate cosmic level stirred no significant reaction.

Ling had ascended to the cosmic level.

Perhaps only Shi Yu possessed the prowess to spawn a new cosmic level with such minimal fanfare.

To facilitate Ling's breakthrough to cosmic status, Shi Yu and his allies aided in integrating the Time Sprite relic from the bygone era.

Nevertheless, Ling ultimately failed to claim favoritism from space and time, unable to master traversal through space and time. Beyond acquiring control over time, it fell short of Shi Yu's visions.

Like Ling, Chi Tong and Baby Ginseng shared similar fates.

In this timeframe, the Universe Tree had fully regenerated. Baby Ginseng's nurturing prowess neared cosmic heights. Its mastery of space ought to qualify it adequately. Regrettably, it couldn't seize a universal position, lacking the ease experienced by Eleven, Buggy, and Susu.

Concerning Chi Tong, despite unleashing the God of Destruction's soul, it remained mired at the quasi-cosmic tier.

Ling began in the same predicament. This led Shi Yu to perceive the challenge. It also illuminated for him that the fortune bestowed upon Susu, Eleven, and Buggy proved hard to emulate.

Still, true to form, Ling devised the “path to the universe” for him.

No, more accurately, it forged a cosmic level ascent that guided his teammate to the universal path and enabled its own breakthrough!

Over recent years, Shi Yu and his group had truly unearthed no alternative remedies for the universe's latent perils. Thus, forging a contract with the universe appeared as the definitive recourse.

As for binding the universe, further delays seemed untenable. Observations revealed the adjacent parallel universe's lifespan hastening.

Though ample duration lingered, one must recall that contracting the universe would likely demand an extensive period.

Similar to the prolonged effort Shi Yu expended—several multiples—when binding the Empress in the past, and that occurred without her opposition.

Hence, should Shi Yu's universe contracting timeline surpass the dwindling lifespan of the neighboring parallel universe, catastrophe loomed.

Thus, Shi Yu ought to contract the universe at the earliest opportunity.

Currently, Shi Yu occupied the second realm of the universe, bearing four cosmic pets. In theory, he had surpassed the prerequisite for universe contraction.

Drawing from the black panther’s recollections, the former holder's circumstances during contraction proved more adverse than his own. This already heralded triumph!

Nonetheless, Ling harbored concerns for Shi Yu.

While Ling assisted Shi Yu in compiling the universe contraction methodology, it pondered accelerating Chi Tong and Baby Ginseng's cosmic ascensions. This would bolster Shi Yu's might further.

Ultimately, Ling opted for the divine ability “Future Prediction,” harnessing the energies of Shi Yu, the Empress, Baby Ginseng, Chi Tong, and numerous others to forecast the cosmic trajectories for Baby Ginseng and Chi Tong.

Ling foresaw myriad outcomes, uncovering diverse pathways for Baby Ginseng and Chi Tong's cosmic breakthroughs. Ling recognized the presence of disruptive influences.

Still, Ling’s foresight offered Chi Tong and Baby Ginseng some navigational guidance.

After meticulous deliberation, Baby Ginseng and Chi Tong selected their preferred ascension routes.

Baby Ginseng persisted in refining the “Heart of the Heavenly Emperor” and settled on “Dao Attainment.” It aimed to alter the destinies of the supplement races across realms and thereby attain cosmic stature.

Chi Tong selected “Protect the Dao” and resolved that during Shi Yu's universe contraction, it would remain by Shi Yu's side within the Beast Taming Space, sharing the ordeal alongside Shi Yu.

Frankly, the routes chosen by Baby Ginseng and Chi Tong diverged from optimal synergy with their innate racial talents. Yet, even Shi Yu hadn't foreseen that upon Baby Ginseng and Chi Tong's resolutions…

Ling detected a breakthrough prospect.

The whole team stood in astonishment, Ling included.

But following Ling's initial shock, clarity dawned.

“I understand now. It’s neither the mechanical phantom beast system nor mechanical intelligence tier. So, my breakthrough lies in that.”

“Beyond the Dark King’s ascension insights, it appears that reaching cosmic level defies the rigid patterns Sister Empress outlined. Reference cases in this era remain scarce.”

“We might pioneer a novel path to universal breakthrough.”

At Ling's inception by Shi Yu, he inscribed a core directive.

Or more precisely, he embedded Ling’s aspiration.

To evolve Ling into the ultimate versatile machine, supporting Beast Tamer Shi Yu and his allies in their pursuit of greater strength.

Presently, Ling had not only beheld Beast Tamer Shi Yu and companions dominating the cosmos but had also formulated strategies to elevate teammates to “supremacy.” Its aspiration neared fulfillment, qualifying as a breakthrough via dream realization.

“As expected, secretary life suits me. I broke through to cosmic level by merely fulfilling duties.” Ling felt a touch of resignation.

“Yet, this implies Baby Ginseng’s heartfelt “Dao Attainment” and Chi Tong’s “Protect the Dao” hold genuine viability?”

“Baby Ginseng might manage…” Shi Yu remarked, “Chi Tong, are you truly committed?”

For the universe contraction, Shi Yu had no intention of sequestering pets within the Beast Taming Space. At most, he'd enlist their external aid. Thus, should errors occur, his pets retained survival odds. What if the adjacent parallel universe's demise spared this one significant impact?

However, unified in one entity, failure meant total annihilation. External intervention would prove arduous.

The God of Destruction's proprietor abandoned no pets during universe contraction.

Shi Yu pondered briefly and favored caution. He resolved against concentrating all risks in one vessel.

This stood as Shi Yu’s firm stipulation. The pets couldn't contest it, yet Chi Tong displayed unyielding determination.

“My decision is final,” Chi Tong declared. “I’ll remain in the Beast Taming Space. Ling’s vision confirms my breakthrough chance here. Securing this method proved challenging!”

“Enough of that.” Shi Yu discerned Chi Tong sought breakthrough not truly but yearned to stay close. After all, upon declaring no pets in the Beast Taming Space, Chi Tong voiced strongest discontent.

Now, Ling’s foresight supplied Chi Tong fresh rationale.

Protect the Dao… Could this truly work…

“Sigh, give me time to mull it over.” Shi Yu exhaled and added, “I’ve secluded myself endlessly. Time to venture out and unwind.”

“It’s ages since I teased Teacher Cat. I’ll seek some diversion first before tackling these dilemmas.”
