Chapter 606 — Foreknowledge of Nothing (Monthly Ticket Bonus +8.5)

As for the Martial Emperor, the Empress, and the Dragon Emperor, the five great divine races vigorously demanded them, investing in the three great emperors.

The five great divine races had finally come to recognize the potential of Blue Star's human race. Having missed out on Emperor Kong, Lin Feng, and Shi Ying, this time they had set their sights on the three great emperors, determined to secure—no matter what—that their future tenth beasts would be chosen from among the five great divine races.

It must be said, this was in fact quite excellent. After all, Emperor Shi, Emperor Kong, and Lin Feng had no time at present to look after them. The Empress, bearing phoenix bloodline, could receive far better cultivation among the Phoenix Race than by muddling through on her own.

The Dragon Emperor, obviously, could likewise develop better among the Dragon Race. As for the Martial Emperor, the Angel Race and the Demon Race had both taken a liking to his outstanding fusion talent. It was well known that humanoid beings fused best with humans—but alas, the Martial Emperor had no interest in bird-men or demons. He was, rather, somewhat interested in the qilin race, extinct on Blue Star.

This moved the qilin race, so long accustomed to being wronged, to tears.

"Sleep!"

Ever since the Blue Star lineage annihilated Assassination Star, the Floating Void Domain had grown dozens of times livelier by the day. And amid that liveliness, Shi Cen once again chose quiet, bitter cultivation...

After breaking through to the god level, he had run wild doing all sorts of things. Now that he lacked for no resources and had big shots watching over him, Shi Jin could finally settle down and work overtime in peace.

Yet before Shi Jin could remain calm for long, the Prophetic Owl came rushing to find him in a fluster.

"Shi Jin, Shi Jin, the prophecy results are out!!!"

"What??" Shi Jin looked at the owl. "Which one?"

The owl said, "The cosmic-level one. This is, in fact, the first time the Astral Race has prophesied how the human race might break through to the cosmic level and obtained a clear answer. The last time someone sought the Astral Race's prophecy, it was not the human race but a starry-sky lifeform."

"My brother performed a prophecy for you and for your initial beast, Eleven, separately..."

"What conditions does Eleven need to break through to the cosmic level himself?" said Shi Tang.

The owl said, "The result of the foresight was... the Cosmic Overlord Legion."

"Huh?" Shi Shuo was stunned. "What does that mean?"

The owl said, "That's all there is. If Eleven truly can break through to the cosmic level, then the opportunity lies within the Cosmic Overlord Legion. This sort of thing is, by nature, a search for a sliver of a sliver of a sliver of possibility among countless impossibilities—there will never be any clear pointer. You can only seek it yourself."

Shi Jin: "...So you've prophesied sweet nothing. Am I supposed to go join the Cosmic Overlord Legion?"

The owl: "The cosmic level! This is the cosmic level!!"

Shi Li Nai said, "Fine. Then what about the opportunity for me to break through to the cosmic level myself? If I break through to the cosmic level and become a cosmic-level beastmaster, then in theory I should be like a super-god beastmaster—able to casually strengthen some super-god beast to the cosmic level, right..."

"The method for your breakthrough to the cosmic level is truly clear!" said the Prophetic Owl. "Even my brother said so—he never expected the method to be so distinct."

"In short, the method by which lifeforms other than the human race ascend to the universal level is still unclear, but the human race's method—or rather, yours—is very clear."

"What?"

"The result of the precognition is this: so long as you can form a contract with a universal-level lifeform, you will become a universal-level beastmaster."

Shi Jin: ????

Shi Shuo's face went dark. He felt the Astral Race was spouting utter nonsense.

"I'm starting to not want to cooperate with the Astral Race anymore. What do I do?"

"Teacher Owl, why does it feel like the Astral Race is just as unreliable as you were back before your awakening at the Imperial Capital University?"

"Isn't that obvious? If I cultivated a universal-level pet beast, then of course I'd be a universal-level beastmaster."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough." Owl said, "Hold on, that's not what it means. What I mean is, you need to contract a universal-level pet beast while at the transcendental-god level in order to break through to the universal level yourself—not cultivate one on your own. After all, none of us even know how to cultivate something to the universal level."

"Roughly speaking, once you reach Xu anxiao Peak, if you can successfully contract one of the universal-level big shots—the Realm King, the Beast King, the Dark King, the Insect Queen, or the Overlord of the Universe—despite the gap in level, then you'll be able to break through your life hierarchy and rise from transcendental-god to universal level. Of course... it still sounds a bit unreliable, doesn't it."
