Chapter 609 - Primary Divine Sisters (Part 2)

"#18, create a time acceleration field to help Baby Cloud digest the Light and Dark Gods and speed up its ascension to Primary Divine. Even though the Divine Tree and the Chaos Dragon God are severely injured, they are still in better condition than the Light and Dark Gods. We will need to quickly grow stronger if we want to stand a chance. Let’s start by looking for the Chaos Dragon God first."

At Lu Ran's request, #18 started multitasking. It did its best, but unfortunately, Lu Ran still ended up leaving the ascension realm disappointed. #18 ranked up on the last day, so there simply wasn’t enough time.

The thirty-day limit was a rule set by Limitless City. Even though #18 could slow down time within the ascension realm, it wasn’t on a scale that could affect Limitless City’s core operations.

They hunted the Light and Dark Gods as fast as possible and even managed to awaken the Chaos Dragon God's but that was all they could manage.

[The ascension realm is ending...]

[Return countdown: 10...9...8...]

As the system message sounded, Lu Ran’s figure gradually began to fade. The awakened Chaos Dragon God, furious, stunned, and bewildered all at the same time, stared at Lu Ran and #18 and the dragons they rode upon.

"Who are you...?" It wanted to question Lu Ran, but quickly discovered that it was only a projection, and was filled with an even greater shock.

"What a shame." Lu Ran helplessly watched the world around him fade away.

"I’ll let you off for now, Chaos Dragon God. We’ll meet again in reality. I’ll show you who’s boss."

As he spoke, Lu Ran turned toward Baby Cloud, who finally ranked up to Primary Divine, which caused a grin to spread across his face. He had finally become a beastmaster contracted with three Primary-Divine familiars!

He was now the greatest beastmaster across the countless eons!

In his room in Limitless City, Lu Ran lay on the floor while breathing heavily. His tense spirit relaxed as he felt the stress roll off his body. While he was in the ascension realm, Six-Path Flower reached the Primary Divine rank in the outside world, while #18 and Baby Cloud did the same inside the ascension realm.

The feedback he received from their rank-up was immense. Lu Ran had a feeling that if he had contracted them using his beastmaster space, then his body would have exploded. A Mythical beastmaster space wasn’t remotely enough to hold three Primary Divines.

Thankfully, he had contract cards that had been enhanced to the highest quality with amplification cards. They were the sole reason why Lu Ran was able to contract familiars beyond his own abilities.

"Too bad there isn’t a beastmaster rank above Mythical, or I would have more opportunities to challenge ascension realms!"

As much as Lu Ran wished for it, it didn’t exist, so he quit daydreaming and started looking at Baby Cloud’s new species talent.

[Species talent: Divine Null Domain (Creatures within the domain will lose the ability to utilize the Water, Ice, Wind, Lightning, Fire, Light, Dark, Earth, and Rock attributes. They will be stripped of any attributes they possess as well.)]

When Lu Ran saw the talent’s effect, he realized that Baby Cloud had become a natural counter for any opponent that relied on elemental attributes.

Only creatures with special attributes like Captain Doofus, Dark Crow, and #18 could stand a fighting chance against it. Grass-attribute creatures like Six-Path Flower might also have a chance since the effect didn’t seem to impact Grass.

"Not bad. I can’t complain."

After resting briefly, Lu Ran left his residence feeling refreshed. Although he didn’t make the most of the ascension realm, #18’s rank-up was more than enough. That was his primary goal in the first place.

With his current combat power, the Chaos Dragon God in the real world was no longer a threat. Once he defeated it, his immediate schedule would be completely cleared up.

As for the Black Mist, it wasn’t something he could deal with in the short term. Even the Cosmic-rank Genesis Dragon couldn't resolve the issue, so it was obviously out of Lu Ran’s grasp.

After dealing with the Chaos Dragon God, he planned to rest for a few years and spend some time bringing the rest of his familiars up to the Primary Divine rank. Once that happened, he would go and challenge the final secret realm.

"The only problem is that the price of failure in the final secret realm is death. I haven’t had the chance to start a family yet, so if I do and die in the secret realm, it would be irresponsible of me."

Lu Ran scratched his head as he read the information on the final secret realm. His expression gradually grew solemn.

[Name: Final Secret Realm]

[Grade: 9]

[Difficulty: Unknown]

[Description: The final secret realm, which holds the secrets of Limitless City. Please accumulate sufficient strength before challenging this secret realm. Failure will result in death.]

"I guess I’ll have to stay single."

Back in the Beastmaster Empire, Six-Path Flower returned to the palace after ranking up to get used to its newfound strength. It had also gained a new species talent.

[Species Talent: Infinite Reincarnation (Allows the user to create a virtual reincarnation world. A subject can be sent into the world to relive its life from the beginning multiple times to explore different paths. Through countless reincarnations, the subject can fully develop all of their abilities.)]

"Not bad."

It was another non-combat talent, but it was perfect for training, so it was still very pleased. The skill would definitely help it grow stronger.

Its rank might have reached Primary Divine, but not all of its skills had reached their peak performance.

Everyone was ultimately limited by the amount of time they had and could only specialize in a limited number of skills. Captain Doofus mastered multiple sword intents, and none of them were weak by any measure.

However, if it spent its entire life honing a single sword intent, such as the Blizzard Sword Intent, it would definitely be able to reach new heights.

The Infinite Reincarnation talent recreates and simulates a lifetime of training focused on a single skill, refining it to the ultimate peak. Countless reincarnations would allow the subject to perfect countless skills.

"This ability should make up for my lack of combat power," Six-Path Flower muttered to itself.

Suddenly, it detected energy ripples from its connection with Lu Ran. It looked up and saw him appear.

"You've reached level 9. What happened?" Six-Path Flower asked.

Given Lu Ran's personality, he shouldn't have leveled up so fast. If he failed the ascension realm on purpose, then he could continue to farm more resources.

"I got tricked. It was pretty much an attendance grade. I passed the mission the moment I stepped into the realm."

Six-Path Flower: ?

"Let's not talk about that. Congratulations! You've finally reached Primary Divine!" Lu Ran smiled. "Things are moving along faster than I thought."

"Maybe it has something to do with you becoming a Mythical beastmaster. I normally shouldn’t have advanced so fast. I gained a powerful talent. Give me some time to cultivate. Once I’m done, we can go to Stellar Moon together to kill the Chaos Dragon God with the Divine Tree."

"Why wait? Let’s go tomorrow."

Six-Path Flower shook its head.

"Even if you have the Divine Tree and me, two Primary Divines aren’t enough to fight the Chaos Dragon God. Especially since I don’t specialize in combat. On top of all of that, we need to make sure not to cause too much damage to the Stellar Moon world. This won’t be easy.”

"Who said that we will only have two Primary Divines on our side?"

Lu Ran stretched out his arms and summoned Baby Cloud and #18. Both of them radiated the aura of the Primary Divine rank. If they unleashed their full power, then it would be enough to destroy the entire planet. Their power fluctuations were on the same level as Six-Path Flower.

"What a coincidence! During the ascension realm, Baby Cloud and #18 both ranked up too. Additionally, #18's Hall of Heroic Spirits acquired the Primary-Divine-ranked Torch Dragon. We’ll have five Primary Divines. It’ll be a breeze," Lu Ran said confidently.

Six-Path Flower’s jaw dropped at the sight of its fellow Primary Divines.

"Wait, wait a minute! How did they both reach the Primary Divine rank?"

Six-Path Flower repeatedly checked over the two, only to find that the two weren’t any weaker than itself. In fact, in some aspects, the two were even stronger.

"This time, we went to the Mechanical Era to find resources for #18. We stole the materials that were meant to be used for the Mechanical God and gave them to #18, so it was inevitable for it to rank up.

“Once #18 became a Primary Divine, we killed the Light and Dark Gods and fed their cores to Baby Cloud. That was more than enough to help Baby Cloud reach the next rank as well.

"That’s pretty much it. Any questions?"

"Yes! How did you do all of that so fast?" Six-Path Flower felt like it was about to lose its mind.

"Two Primary Divines under three years old. Do you realize how serious this is?"

Even though reaching Primary Divine was worth celebrating, Six-Path Flower was planning to show off in front of the Divine Tree! However, now #18 and Baby Cloud were stealing its spotlight.

"Come to think of it, it was all thanks to your Lucky Flower," Lu Ran added.

Seeing Six-Path Flower’s attitude, #18 and Baby Cloud decided to speak as well.

"Sister Flower, you’re not upset, are you?" Baby Cloud asked while wagging its tails. Uncle Dog, Uncle Dragon, and Uncle Crow were already angry at it.
