Chapter 47: The Origin of Beast Pets
Chapter 47: The Origin of Beast Pets
As Li Qian shifted the topic, Gao Yahxin fell into silence.
She gathered her thoughts, and after a moment, she spoke, "Do you know the origin of beast pets, or more precisely, the source of extraordinary beings?"
Li Qian was puzzled.
He couldn't understand why Gao Yahxin would ask such a question.
It was a simple question.
In the year 5428 of the Ancestral Star Era, a dimensional rift appeared, and countless extraordinary beings poured out from it.
These beings were named 'extraordinary' because they possessed various unimaginable superpowers.
The extraordinary beings brought disruptive destruction to the order of human society.
The Ancestral Star people faced unprecedented challenges as the extraordinary beings were too numerous to handle, despite the lethal power of heat weapons.
More terrifyingly, as the dimensional rift opened, extraordinary energy flooded in, causing the lifeforms of the Ancestral Star to mutate and evolve towards extraordinary beings.
This was also the origin of the evolution of the Ancestral Star's beasts into beast pets.
The situation was as precarious as a house of cards.
At a critical moment, human scholars proposed that only by mastering extraordinary powers could the crisis be resolved.
Thus, all nations on the Ancestral Star united to form a 100,000-strong suicide squad.
The suicide squad fought their way through with heat weapons.
After three years of arduous combat, in the year 5431 of the Ancestral Star Era, the suicide squad found information about beast mastery in a certain civilized ruin within the dimensional rift.
In the year 5432, the suicide squad withdrew from the rift, leaving only 300 survivors. In the same year, beast binding contracts and meditation techniques were established, and humans officially gained control over the extraordinary beings.
A decade later, the Eight Celestial Prodigies of beast masters rose on the Ancestral Star.
They all reached the King Rank within a short time.
Under the leadership of the Eight Kings, over two hundred nations of human society quickly united, eventually forming the Eastern Xia, Divine Wind, Heavenly Star, Western Ling, Ogma, Voltz, Holy Court, and Eternal Night Federations.
The establishment of the Eight Federations marked a new chapter in human history, and this year was also the first year of the Federal Era.
In the year 1135 of the Federal Era, the Mechanical Breed was created, and humans gained Mega Mechanical Battleship-class beast pets.
In the same year, humans stepped out of the Divine Harp Constellation and entered the era of Cosmic Civilization.
In the year 1156 of the Federal Era, human mechanics encountered extraordinary beings in the Celestial Wolf System.
This knowledge was taught to them by their teacher when they were in the first year of beast pet knowledge class.
Most beast mastery history books also mention these facts.
After a concise recap, Li Qian concluded, "So, in the general perception of human society, beast pets have only two origins: the dimensional rift and the extraterrestrial battlefield."
Even the native beast pets of the Ancestral Star originated from the extraordinary energy leakage of the dimensional rift.
Their origin also traces back to the rift.
As for the extraterrestrial battlefield, it is a general term for other constellations in the cosmic civilization.
"Well said," Gao Yahxin nodded in approval.
This at least proves that Li Qian's fundamental knowledge is very solid.
"Beast pets originate from extraordinary beings, and in a sense, beast pets are equivalent to extraordinary beings, but..."
She paused, then continued, "Extraordinary beings are not the same as beast pets!"
"This statement may sound a bit convoluted, but the meaning is simple. Some extraordinary beings cannot be bound by human contracts to become beast pets, or after the contract, there are side effects."
"These are the demon beasts."
"And the demon core originates from the demon beasts!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qian's expression turned perplexed, then even more confused, "Why can't demon beasts be contracted?"
"The dimensional rift is not a complete plane."
Gao Yahxin continued to explain to Li Qian, "It's more like a multi-dimensional space with layers, like an onion."
"Demon beasts live in relatively deeper layers of the dimensional rift, where energy is rampant and polluted."
"Living in the deeper layers of the dimensional rift for extended periods can contaminate the souls of extraordinary beings."
"As we all know, the Beast Binding Contract is essentially a Soul Contract. If a human contracts with a demon beast whose soul is polluted, their soul will also be contaminated, turning them into a demon devoid of reason, driven only by bloodlust."
Hearing this, Li Qian's heart suddenly felt a chill, "Doesn't this demon core originate from the Black God Sect, which means..."
"You're right!"
Gao Yahxin nodded solemnly, voicing Li Qian's unspoken suspicion, "Those dark organizations are attempting to harness the power of demon beasts."
"What about your teacher..."
Li Qian started to speak but stopped halfway, realizing his mistake, and immediately held back.
Gao Yahxin smiled faintly, not taking offense at Li Qian's unintended slight, "My teacher is naturally different from those dark organizations. He conducts normal research and has no intention of harnessing their power."
"In fact, for us to understand this world more clearly and thoroughly, we must venture into the deeper layers of the dimensional rift."
"And to enter the deeper layers of the dimensional rift, we must overcome the obstacle of demon beasts."
Li Qian understood and fell into silence.
Today's conversation with Gao Yahxin had a significant impact on him.
It changed his worldview considerably.
After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and smiled faintly.
Whether it's the dimensional rift or the battlefield beyond, he will encounter them when he becomes stronger.
So, there's no need to rush. Developing slowly and steadily is the right path to becoming stronger.
After coming to this realization, he shook his head, discarding all unnecessary and distracting thoughts.
Focusing on the present is the most important thing.
He handed over the demon core to Gao Yahxin, who then shared information related to the demon core. After chatting for a while, they left the rooftop of Building One.
Although Gao Yahxin's stay at the Sunray Breeding Facility was not long, she was more familiar with it than Li Qian.
So, that afternoon, she took Li Qian on a tour inside the facility.
Introducing him to the various facilities within.
It's true that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Although the Sunray Breeding Facility has declined, its foundation remains.
Inside the facility, aside from the beast houses, there are research buildings and staff dormitories, totaling over a hundred staff members during its peak period.
The only regret is that many research buildings are now unused, although they are cleaned and maintained, they are merely being kept from falling into disuse.
Overall, Li Qian is quite satisfied with this breeding facility.
Although it seems a bit desolate due to the small number of personnel, the foundation is still intact. With an infusion of funds and its potential impact on the female gender dynamics:
The news of the Black God Sect's demon core falling into Gao Yahxin's hands spread.
Li Qian learned of this news from Zhou Weiping, and his heart stirred slightly.
He understood the reason for Gao Yahxin's actions.
If this news were to leak out, the Black God Sect's attention would be drawn away, ensuring his safety.
