Unscientific Beast Taming Chapter 1959: Sustainer

Editor: Atlas Studios

The entirety of Shi Yu's existence was wiped clean from the cosmos.

Save for a select few, all beings had lost memory of the God Sealing King, who had soared like a shooting star to claim the universe's most formidable status in an astonishingly swift manner.

Yet, the immense cosmos never ran short of powerhouses.

With Shi Yu's vanishing, another supreme being would inevitably rise to claim the throne of the cosmic overlord once more.

Inevitably, fresh entities would reach cosmic heights and claim the pinnacle spots, their reputations resounding across the realms.

Myriad years following Shi Yu's initiation of the universe contract, the cosmic framework had transformed dramatically.

This sector of the Milky Way had evolved into a haven for supplemental species.

It turned into a sacred realm that myriad supplemental species yearned to inhabit.

The cause was straightforward: a legendary mighty figure, originating from lowly roots and ascending to cosmic rank through the ginseng baby lineage, stood on the verge of transcending to cosmic level in this place.

Baby Ginseng grasped the chance and altered the destiny of cosmic supplemental species through its personal might, granting certain non-combatant lineages opportunities to train and grow robust, enabling self-defense.

Innumerable supplemental species hailed it as the ginseng sovereign and deemed it the supreme entity.

Of course, legions of species yearned to flay Baby Ginseng's hide. Indeed, while cultivating the “Heavenly Emperor Scripture” proved challenging for supplemental species, it subtly shifted interspecies dynamics, leaving many lineages famished.

“Yi…”

Nevertheless, Baby Ginseng atop Little Zi Star gazed upon the celestial bodies without a care for such matters.

Few realized that this ginseng sovereign served as a pet to a long-forgotten individual. All its efforts aimed to hasten that person's universe contract.

“It’s been 200 years…”

Baby Ginseng adjusted its doctoral cap, deeming itself rather foolish. Though it had attained cosmic level via the “Heart of the Heavenly Emperor,” the feat demanded a whopping 200 years.

For it and Shi Yu, 200 years felt excessively prolonged.

Thankfully, it managed the breakthrough in the end. It hadn't let down the hopes placed upon it. By assembling the Undying Divine Medicine's essence across the cosmos, it steadily channeled vitalizing energy to Shi Yu.

…

Day by day, year by year.

Shi Yu remained aware only that his beasts labored tirelessly. He distinctly perceived the energy each companion funneled toward him.

Baby Ginseng's contribution stood out especially... It must have achieved cosmic level by now.

Shi Yu grew increasingly alert. Amid the void, he sensed he'd endured a prolonged slumber, reminiscent of reliving his prior life's recollections in dream form.

Shi Yu suspected this stemmed from the cosmic will's opposition. The force sought to immerse him in past-life visions, eclipsing his current existence.

Yet, it overlooked Shi Yu's honed defenses from contracting the Empress. Furthermore, Buggy's influence rendered Shi Yu acutely attuned to dreamscapes.

The cosmic will's ploy crumbled once more.

“What other tricks do you possess? Unleash them all,” Shi Yu challenged. But endless void greeted him, as if no further ploys were necessary.

Confining Shi Yu in perpetual obscurity, barring flawless integration, sufficed entirely.

Shi Yu froze momentarily, then pondered deeply for ages before stating, “My grasp on spatial and temporal forces remains insufficient. My insight falls short.”

“Space and time form the crux of universe contraction and merger.”

“I've overlooked vital procedures. The cosmic will meddles with my recollections anew.”

Shi Yu truly sensed he teetered one step from sealing the universe contract.

He recalled neglecting a crucial element, yet presently, recollection eluded him utterly.

His mind felt shackled, barring thoughts along those lines.

“Chi Tong, do you recall?”

“Mew…”

“You’ve forgotten too?”

Shi Yu sank into contemplation, regrettably severed from external links. Beyond detecting his beasts' vitalizing surges, he received no outer data.

No!

Vitalizing surges!

Shi Yu jolted. He abruptly attuned himself to the ceaseless vitalizing flows, seeking embedded intel within.

Vitalizing pulses of varying intensities streamed in succession, akin to code sequences assembling dispatches!

This mirrored the “secret code” Ling had compelled Shi Yu to master previously.

Such covert signals evaded cosmic will's scrutiny and sabotage, yet conveyed critical updates.

“Parallel space…”

Amid throbbing cranial agony, Shi Yu abruptly halted, grasping the truth.

“Ah, cosmic will. Shielding my and Chi Tong’s memories has taxed you greatly, hasn’t it? You can't seal every cosmic beast's memories under my command, much less fully disrupt them all!”

“Your blockade always harbors flaws.”

“I recall it now. You've indeed compelled me to overlook the paramount step in universe contraction.”

“Merging the Beast Taming Space's awareness with this cosmos isn't enough; I must ceaselessly broaden and integrate with every parallel universe of the 11th era! Only thus can I achieve seamless fusion with cosmic space-time and ascend as universe sovereign!”

Shi Yu chuckled. Realizing this proved straightforward. To advance fusion across all parallel universes, paramount was his spatial prowess…

Shi Yu brimmed with assurance regarding his spatial skills. After all, he'd even crossed to the anomalous cosmos housing Shiyu…

Boom!!

Shi Yu broadened his cognition, yet simultaneously faced the cosmos's fiercest backlash to date. Diverging from prior psychic meddling, this erupted as total space-time quaking!

The cosmic will writhed like cornered quarry, defying Shi Yu's pursuit.

Its manifestation: potent spatial ripples. Each tangible quake rivaled cosmic-tier strikes, assailing Shi Yu relentlessly.

Bang, bang, bang!!

Amid merger, Shi Yu coughed up blood. He perceived this raw, brutal cosmic defiance inflicted heavier toll than before.

Should the cosmos sustain such onslaughts, it would assuredly thwart his contract. Yet, this single barrage left Shi Yu noting the cosmic quake's toll and shock had notably lessened.

Instead, fissures emerged upon a drifting ethereal blade within the Beast Taming Space.

Chi Tong invoked a sacrificial divine technique akin to substitution.

“I’ll endure it. Seal the contract swiftly,” Chi Tong declared resolutely. Shi Yu recognized sharing the burden with Chi Tong as the optimal strategy now. His cosmically empowered Chi Tong could withstand such spatial quakes for an extended span.

Provided he hastened the universe contract…

“I entrust it to you.” Shi Yu assented, concentrating on the contract.

Time… crept onward.

Shi Yu strained to hasten his awareness expansion. By now, his consciousness had reextended to Shiyu's parallel realm.

As Shi Yu's awareness proliferated, he detected escalating cosmic resistance.

In bygone days, Shi Yu would never bind a “being” resisting so vehemently.

But this instance left him no alternative.

Perhaps, at the pinnacle of Beast Taming, one confronted contracts amid every conceivable adversity.

“Almost, almost.”

Shi Yu's thrill mounted, sensing his awareness nearing complete merger with all cosmic space-time.

“Chi Tong, sense it!”

Shi Yu joyfully conveyed the progress to Chi Tong, only to freeze in shock moments later.

He discovered the petite blade in the Beast Taming Space had long since pulverized utterly, bereft of vitality. A final thread of ethereal essence hovered near Shi Yu, intercepting strikes on his behalf…

Chi Tong had utterly vanished…

“Hold on for me!”

Instantly, unyielding resolve gleamed in Shi Yu’s gaze. “I’ll soon claim universe sovereignty. Then, I’ll restore you.”

Time elapsed. Cosmic resistance persisted, as did Shi Yu's contract.

Chi Tong had secured the most invaluable interlude for Shi Yu. He couldn't gauge its duration precisely, but intuited Chi Tong had likely undergone cosmic transcendence therein.

Regrettably, as a Beast Tamer beset by cosmic will's disruptions, he couldn't monitor Chi Tong's condition throughout.

Chi Tong lived!

To Shi Yu, upon attaining universe mastery, “death” held no sway.

He could resurrect Chi Tong.

“Resist further, and upon contract completion, I’ll obliterate your awareness entirely. Whatever the cost, you know I possess the means,” Shi Yu warned.

Boom.

A dread aura surged from Shi Yu’s form. Though the cosmos quivered on, a hint of dread tinged its defiance.

The expansive Beast Taming Space-Time and the boundless cosmic expanse abruptly aligned in final harmony, entwined by space-time forces.

A fresh universe sovereign emerged.
