Beastmaster of the Ages

”Not bad for an ultimate and revered Primordial Chaos Beastmaster...” the doll-faced one mocked with a smile, carefully enunciating every word.

Tianming had found him weird from the very beginning, and when he heard him speak, he deeply furrowed his brow. ”It’s you!” He descended before the doll-faced wonderian, illuminating the eerie face with boundless light. Anyone else would have turned useless when faced with the strongest emperor of Myriadpath Valley at a distance like that. However, that wonderian seemed to be staring at nothing, smiling the entire time. His mocking laughter made him even more punchable.

”What’re you trying to say?” Tianming asked, glaring at him with a troubled expression.

”What else can I say? I’ve already said everything I needed to say long ago.” He shrugged and shuffled toward Tianming. ”However, I did notice that I just unlocked another new ability after my transformation and rebirth. Antiquitas Mortis is becoming more and more fun to play around in!”

”You’re in Antiquitas Mortis?!” Tianming said.

”I’ve been waiting for you to offer up your life there since long ago, but you haven’t come in a long time. So I had no choice but to find another way to see you.”

”This isn’t your true body, right?” Tianming sneered. There was no way its true body would take the form of a wonderian.

”True body?” The doll-faced wonderian laughed so hard that he held his belly. ”Looks like your imagination’s so limited that you can’t even conceive of the kind of being I am. What’re you going on about with that ’true body’ shit? Are you insulting me?”

”Then where are you?” Tianming laughed and ignored its tantrum.

The doll face looked at Tianming and chuckled, ”So, do you know? I’m your nemesis. Anywhere I am is a place your omnisentient power can’t manifest. You won’t be able to use their power.”

”What do you mean?” Tianming was stunned.

At that moment, Moran approached and patted Tianming on the shoulder before smiling in a mocking manner. ”This is what it means to be a Primordial Chaos Beastmaster.”

Tianming was completely stupefied. Moran had spoken to him with a completely foreign expression and tone of voice. She sounded just as annoyingly hateful as the doll-faced wonderian. After she spoke, her eyes blurred and she took a few steps back. She blankly looked at Tianming and the wonderian and muttered, ”What was I—”

”Li Tianming!” All of a sudden, the two million astral gods of Myriadpath Valley said his name in unison in an odd tone, all of them with the same expression. ”Do you understand what the difference between me and those pieces of trash on your body is?! We’re all Primordial Chaos Beasts, but we’ve experienced growth far too differently since our rebirth. Hahahahahaha!”

All two million people wildly laughed, including Suishen Xiyue and Jiguang. ”In any world with lifeforms and souls, I am the ultimate ruler!”

Tianming was completely speechless—he had completely lost his omnisentient power. If that had happened when he was fighting Zhoutian Shenhai, he would have died horribly.

”Do you understand now?” The doll-faced wonderian patted Tianming’s face. ”You’re nothing to me!”

Tianming smiled. ”Something isn’t right. Something about me is preventing you from outright killing me. What could that be, I wonder?”

The doll-faced wonderian’s expression turned cold.

”Admit it. The relationship between a beastmaster and lifebound beast isn’t something you can break free from. Even if you don’t want to acknowledge it, it’s a truth you can’t change. We’re in symbiosis with each other. If I die, you end up crippled, am I right?” Tianming seemed to have completely seen through him.

”Looks like you’re still rather delusional.” The doll-faced wonderian shook his head. ”Fine. Just remember this: if you come to meet me in Antiquitas Mortis, you’ll learn what true regret is.”

”So you have to taunt me to get me to go there? Sounds like you aren’t nearly as capable as you pretend to be,” Tianming calmly said.

”Hehe, at the very least, I could’ve killed you just now.”

”But you wouldn’t dare to do it,” Tianming sneered, raising his chin.

”I just didn’t want you to die too pathetic of a death. I’ve prepared many fun games for you in Antiquitas Mortis, you see. Wouldn’t want all that effort to go to waste.”

”Then why would I bother to go there?”

The doll-faced wonderian crossed his arms. ”Zi Zhen.”

”You?” Tianming expression froze.

”You’ll definitely want to rescue her. If you don’t, I’ll torture her. I have many tricks up my sleeve. Hahahahaha!”

”Why would you stoop to involving others in a matter between us?!” Tianming snapped with grit teeth.

”Are you stupid or what? I might’ve hatched from your lifebound space, but I’m nothing like those six fools. They’ve been crippled through domestication, but I’m different!”

”You’re different, alright. I don’t know how you ended up being the only braindead one out of all of us,” Ying Huo said.

”How dare a mere chicken speak to me?” The doll-like face wore an expression of contempt.

”Why not? You’re nothing but a sticky pile of snot! What else can you do apart from mouthing off like this?!”

”You! Stupid! Domesticated! Chicken!”

”At least I’m better than a snot booger like you.”

”Stupid! Fuck!” The doll-like face contorted at not being able to out-insult Ying Huo. It glared at Ying Huo and said, ”You’re already crippled anyway, so there’s no hope for you. As for the remaining eggs, I’ll take them away to prevent them from turning out like all of you!”

”Oh yeah? How would a snotty booger be able to achieve that?” Ying Huo said.

”What a... dumb dumb!” Yin Chen said.

”Sixth, stop messing around. It just looks like you’re throwing a stupid tantrum. You should come join Sister Xian Xian for the feast of our lives instead of being outside and so lonely! I bet you have no friends to talk to,” Xian Xian advised in motherly fashion.

”What a dumbass,” Ji Ji said.

”Brothers and sisters, don’t mock our sixth brother! I know that, deep in its heart, it yearns for a warm hug from me, Tortoise Bro!” Lan Huang said.

Meow Meow merely dozed off.
