ED: Hi everyone~! Hope you enjoy this new novel and hang tight for a fun ride! It's going to be more light-hearted and humorous, so I'm excited for everyone to read it!
[System Task Issued: Steady your mind before receiving information. Reward: a divine beast cub...] (Note: Please bind to the System first~)
Gurgle~
He wanted to speak, but no sound came out. His entire body felt as if it were submerged in liquid.
Hiss!
Where the hell am I?
Wu Liang was completely stunned and couldn't come to his senses for a long time.
All he did was spend 1000 RMB to thank the female college student who found his ID card at the hotel. Was that illegal?
And now, he was locked in a small, dark room filled with water, showing no humanity whatsoever.
He reached down and touched his groin; his manhood was still there, but the feel was strange, as if he were touching something that wasn't his own.
"What the hell? Where am I? Is anyone here?"
Idiot!
Wu Liang was so angry that he almost died on the spot.
[Ding-dong!]
[The Divine Beast Evolution System has detected a 100% match with the host. Binding successful!]
[System panel generated...]
[Host: Wu Liang]
[Beast: Hybrid Beast (Unhatched)]
[Rank: Not yet Ranked]
[Bloodline: None]
[Attack: 0]
[Defense: 0]
[Speed: 0]
[Spirit: 0]
[Evolution Points: 0]
[Skills: Unhatched, none]
"???"
Holy crap!
What the hell is a hybrid beast?
Am I not human?
"System, quickly explain my current state; why have I turned from a human into a beast?" Wu Liang asked, full of despair.
[Host, simply put, you've transmigrated, reincarnated as an egg. You're currently unhatched and will normally hatch in about 10 days.]
Wu Liang collapsed.
"Reborn as an egg? What kind of joke is that?!"
Wu Liang was practically about to flood and crash the System with his tears.
"Fix it! System, let me reincarnate again, at least let me be a human..."
[...Sorry, this System does not have the ability to help the host reincarnate. This System only assists the host in ultimately evolving into a Supreme Divine Beast.]
"A Divine Beast is still a beast! What about my romantic life?!"
I'm not having this!
[Host, you only have one chance to choose. If you give up this opportunity, the System will automatically unbind and leave.]
Wu Liang's expression changed drastically instantly.
"No, no, no, I'm sorry, System! Start the process right now!"
He was just an egg, utterly powerless. Whether in his original world or the new world, he was easy prey. The System was his only lifeline.
Besides, he was already a divine beast; becoming human shouldn't be difficult, right?
[System is scanning the host's body. Please wait ten seconds...]
[System scan complete. Detected sparse bloodline factors in the host's body. Please choose one of the following evolution options:]
[Option 1, 100% match: God-Slaying Gluttonous Beast—devours all things, even gods!]
[Option 2, 92% match: Sky-Splitting Divine Hound—tears apart the heavens, even gods can be slain!]
[Option 3, 85% match: Divine Dark Bear Lord—divine power pierces the heavens and shakes the world!]
Wu Liang fell into deep thought for three seconds. Then, "System, can't I have them all? I can handle it!"
[Host, one shouldn't be too greedy... and having more bloodlines isn't necessarily better. It will only increase your burden and make your bloodline less pure. Please believe that no matter which one you choose, at its peak, you can easily slay a god-level being.]
"Then, I choose the God-Slaying Gluttonous Beast."
Wu Liang reluctantly chose the first one; after all, selecting the one with the highest compatibility should be a safe bet.
Moreover, of these three divine beasts, the God-Slaying Gluttonous Beast sounded the most powerful.
Option two: the Sky-Splitting Divine Hound, so what if it's a divine beast? It's still just a dog!
If I were reincarnated as a male dog, it would be too beneath me.
Since that's the case, then let's start devouring everything!
[The God-Slaying Gluttonous Beast evolution plan has been selected. The system is calculating the evolution path for the host...]
[Evolution plan calculation complete: Hybrid Beast → Devouring Beast → ... → Abyss Gluttonous Beast → God-Slaying Gluttonous Beast.]
Suddenly, he discovered the key point.
Looking wary, Wu Liang asked, "System, you're not going to make me evolve into a God-Slaying Gluttonous Beast step by step, are you?"
[Uh...isn't that how other systems work?]
Wu Liang looked like he'd seen a ghost.
You're the System, and you're asking me?
"System, stop messing with me, okay?"
The System remained silent for three seconds before finally speaking.
[Host, you are actually the first host I've ever hosted.]
"So?" Wu Liang asked.
[So you have to follow my rules, but I'll also give you a newbie gift pack as compensation, how about that?]
Wu Liang sighed, reluctantly accepting the compensation plan.
Something is better than nothing, and he had to rely on the System to survive.
"Alright, since we're both doing this for the first time, let's be understanding and support each other."
[Well said. The System has exempted the host from the ten-day incubation period. You will hatch successfully in one hour and will soon be contracted by someone. Please be prepared.]
Wu Liang's happiness didn't last a second before his heart shattered.
Wait, being reincarnated as an egg is bad enough, but I also have to be contracted?
Am I really the protagonist here?
"Please give me a capable pet owner!" Wu Liang wailed. ...
…
The girls' dormitory at Linjiang Middle School.
A girl dressed in plain clothes stood by the window, a hint of sorrow in her eyes.
"Failed again. With my current strength as a quasi-martial artist, I simply cannot find a suitable life-bound beast on my own. The only way is to first contract the beast egg provided by the school, and then use the surging blood energy from the contract to reach the early stage of the first rank of martial artist all at once!"
She had no time to wait any longer.
Ling Qingxue was a reborn person, and this was the third day since her rebirth. Before her reincarnation, she was an Imperial-ranked powerhouse, known as the Empress in everyone's eyes, enjoying limitless glory and unparalleled combat strength.
Yet she was still trapped at the threshold of Godhood Ascension.
The reason was that the potential of the life-bound demonic beast she had chosen previously had already been exhausted, and it could not support her breakthrough to the Divine rank.
In the end, she died under the heavenly tribulation during her breakthrough, all for naught.
"In this life, I must rely on the knowledge of demonic beast evolution accumulated in my previous life to cultivate a divine-level bloodline beast to help me break through to the god level!"
"I have enough confidence that as long as my contracted beast possesses a bloodline, even if it's only the lowest-level, one-star bloodline, I can definitely change its fate!"
This world was called Blue Star and was a world of martial artists.
They not only cultivated techniques to improve their strength, but each person could also choose a magical beast for a Heavenly Mandate contract, making it their life-bound beast, irreplaceable for life.
The two shared the same destiny, supporting each other's progress and advancing step by step towards the highest level of martial artists.
After becoming a true martial artist, the ranks were divided into: Ranks One to Nine, King Rank, Imperial Rank, Godhood Rank, and finally, Celestial Rank!
Ling Qingxue was stuck at the final Imperial rank in her previous life, but couldn't break through.
"Heaven has given me a second chance, surely to guide me down a completely new path. I can no longer choose the destined beast of my past life; I must have a new one!"
In her previous life, she had chosen a low-level five-star bloodline snake, which she evolved into the four-star Imperial Rank Azure Wood Dragon.
Mountains of corpses and rain of blood—that was the path she had taken to get there.
If she continued down that path, she feared repeating the same mistakes. Only by completely changing the past could she possibly have a new future!
"Judging by the time, it should be arriving soon."
