The senior sister addressed the little animals in front of her, "All beast series can be divided into three major categories: the incredibly destructive Magical Beasts, the gigantic Monster Beasts, the rule-enforcing Divine Beasts, and in addition to these, the Holy Beast Series."
[Magical Beast Kind]
These creatures hail from certain ancient continental planes, their size may not be immense, yet they wield bizarre powers, specializing in blasting energy beams with extremely terrifying lethality.
[Monster Beast Kind]
A type of beast series troops inclined towards the Electronic Frontier Camp.
Monster Beasts don't utilize special spells, they rely purely on physical strength and various energy cores within their bodies. Their one defining feature is just that—size! Massive, large enough to obscure the sun and sky!
[Divine Beast Kind]
Originating from creatures in ancient mythologies, their combat power may not always be strong, but they hold sway over certain rules between heaven and earth and are indispensable Guardian Gods of the Miracle Kingdom.
[Holy Beast Series]
Sacred Beasts are not the fourth kind; it is a general term for all beast series troops in the Sacred Beast Forest.
Furthermore, the only difference between Sacred Beasts and the others is that they can transform into human forms.
Or to put it differently, any kind of beast series troops that possess the ability to transform from Magical Beasts, Monster Beasts, or Divine Beasts into human shapes are considered Sacred Beasts.
Although the Sacred Beast Forest duplicates beast series troops from other Miracle Structures, it provides the qualification for 'Sacred Beast-ification' on this basis.
However, Sacred Beasts are not categorized as 'Heroic Spirits' or 'Deities'; they are still part of the beast series.
This also means that Sacred Beasts in human form have quite poor strength.
In this state, the Sacred Beasts may only be able to exert a tenth of their original form's power, far from being comparable to human-shaped troops, and one cannot generalize them.
"In my possession, there is one Legend slot, one King slot, one Master slot, four Heroic Level slots, as well as twenty Transcendent and a hundred Extraordinary."
Seeing that there weren't many little ones in front of her, the senior sister felt she could very well ban the Transcendent and Extraordinary slots, "You stood out from the Fairy Clan. The reason I chose you is because of your aptitude."
The aptitude of the Fairies present wasn't poor, especially members of the Baiying Family and the Cute Cat Trio. Thankfully, Cat Lingling was not there, otherwise, she might have been the top candidate.
"The inheritance of the Sacred Beast Forest is different from that of castles."
The senior sister explained, "With castles, power must be attained through training, and one must follow the prescribed order."
"The same goes for treasures," the senior sister carried on, "Even if one obtains a treasure, figuring out how to develop it remains challenging."
"However, the inheritance in the Sacred Beast Forest is different, all you have to do is to obtain it, and you'll immediately become a Master, a King, or a Legend."
Living creatures can be mass-produced; there can be as many low-tier troops as needed.
Frenzied Breeds, unafraid of death and with remarkable regenerative capabilities, have strong destructive desires and are the best choice for expendable soldiers.
The beast series also have their own advantages, that is, upon reincarnation, they could immediately possess the formidable power of the current stage. Although nearly locked by bloodlines, with little variation, their efficiency is exceedingly high.
"Our Yatun is about to give birth to the first Legend," Bailuo remarked, "Unexpectedly, it's among you."
The little animals were in luck, for a legendary bloodline was waiting for them in the Sacred Beast Forest of the Third Awakening. As long as one of the little creatures before Bailuo had the aptitude for legend, they could become Yatun's first legendary troop.
"What is that inheritance?"
"Don't know."
The senior sister shook her head, "The Sacred Beast Forest has a high degree of randomness, only when they enter will they obtain the inheritance meant for them."
In other words, this is like a 'lottery pool,' filled with countless beast series troops.
What reward one might draw could be a matter of luck, or perhaps, also a matter of aptitude.
"Additionally, there are both advantages and disadvantages to reincarnation," the senior sister said, "The advantage is convenience, the drawback… once reincarnated, that slot is completely used up and cannot be transferred."
Unlike the treasures in the Avalon Treasury, when Alaya's Cross Sword is no longer needed and a new weapon is acquired, the Eastern Truth Sword could still be handed down to the next person.
But Sacred Beast inheritance cannot, as bloodlines are consumables.
If the Fairies were to reincarnate into new beast series, their original powers could only be retained within them and merge with the new inheritance, but could no longer be passed on to descendants.
"We must be cautious then."
So said Bailuo, looking at the little ones, "Who will go first?"
"Meow meow meow!!"
The Cute Cat Trio, who always prided themselves as the three cutest under the King, saw the need to perform and promptly flew up, "Us, us, we'll go first."
"Alright."
Bailuo signaled to the senior sister, who then raised her hand, "Go into the forest, do not look back, keep moving forward, no matter what happens, persevere."
"At the end of the forest is the exit. The moment you come out, you will have a new form, becoming strong beast series troops."
"Amiao."
"Understood meow."
"Meow-ow, please look forward to our performance."
The Cute Cat Trio headed towards the Sacred Beast Forest, which was dotted with stone statues, following the senior sister's directions. Soon, their figures had vanished.
The Sacred Beast Forest was not vast, but that was only on the surface.
This woods connected countless shattered domains, and within each domain slept an unspeakably terrifying beast.
They were once sovereigns of this world, followed their Supreme Lords, and waged wars across endless dimensions.
Although they ultimately perished, the pride in their hearts never faded.
"How long have they been inside?"
After some time, Bailuo noticed the Sacred Beast Forest was a bit too serene, and the senior sister responded, "3 minutes."
"Does reincarnation take this long?"
Bailuo, "Are they taking turns one by one, each waiting in line?"
"The higher the potential, the longer the reincarnation takes," senior sister said, "If it's over three minutes, it's at least Heroic Level."
"Boom!!!"
As expected, as soon as her words ended, there was movement from the Sacred Beast Forest in the distance.
"Glala."
Two stone statue embryos appeared simultaneously at the entrance of the forest. Bailuo, her senior sister, and the fairies all looked in that direction.
"Pat, pat, pat."
The stone statues were changing, as if an invisible hand, wielding strength, tapped and sculpted them meticulously.
"[It walked from the scorched earth ablaze with bright flames, carrying a lantern that lightens the darkness, guiding those lost and bewildered.]"
"[I once bore the sun, shouldering its weight, bringing hope to people.]"
"Roar!!"
The stone statue shattered, and out leaped a majestic golden tiger with a dominating presence.
It stood about three meters tall, its body shimmering with golden light so intense it made it hard for onlookers to keep their eyes open. The source was its golden fur.
This was a tiger-like magical beast, bearing a pure white halo on its back, embedded with fiery red gemstones like balls of fire.
The ten fiery orbs, each no bigger than an adult's head, contained energy reminiscent of a nuclear reactor—merely glancing at them caused a sharp pain in one's eyes.
"[Flame Brow King]"
Name: Cat Yiyi
Contract: Bailuo Yatun
Level: Heroic Level
Species: Holy Beast Series · Divine Beast Kind
Divinity: Sun Sovereignty (Fragment)
Miracle Origin: Middle-ranking Miracle Structure · Labyrinth City
Second Form: Cat Fairy (Switchable)
Third Form: Flame Light Princess
"Divine Beast Kind, huh?"
"And it's Sun Sovereignty!"
Although the information received by Bailuo and her senior sister included the word 'fragment,' the divine beasts were defined by their dominion over certain rules between heaven and earth.
Even as a fragment, the sovereignty of the sun was still nothing to scoff at.
"[The distinction between day and night in this world is clear. The day should be bright, yet shadows still persist, and the night should be pitch black, yet there is still light.]"
"[I once bore the moon, came softly, bringing peace to the people.]"
"Roar!"
The second stone statue broke, releasing a tiger-like creature similar to the Flame Brow King, yet unlike the Solar Golden Tiger, Cat Erer, the representative of the moon, was exceedingly elegant.
She walked with a bouncy stride, her demeanor calm and tranquil.
Though still in the form of a tiger, even those unfamiliar with her, upon seeing her, would feel no fear but rather a sense of affinity, their gaze lingering.
Helplessly, Cat Erer was too beautiful at that moment.
"[Silver Snow Queen of Nightfall]"
Name: Cat Erer
Contract: Bailuo Yatun
Level: Heroic Level
Species: Holy Beast Series · Divine Beast Kind
Divinity: Moon Sovereignty (Fragment)
Miracle Origin: Middle-ranking Miracle Structure · Labyrinth City
Second Form: Cat Fairy (Switchable)
Third Form: Silver Snow Concubine
If Cat Yiyi's Flame Brow King was overflowing with dominance and filled with the majesty of a Martial God charging north and south on the battlefield,
Then Cat Erer's Silver Snow Queen of Nightfall was like the consort of a goddess, together with her, showering blessings and tenderness upon the world.
"Master~~~"
However, whether it was Cat Yiyi or Cat Erer, even having become Heroic Level divine beasts, they remained docile and obedient in the presence of Bailuo.
"Master, master, we've grown larger."
"There are new changes too, does master want to see?"
Without waiting for Bailuo's response, the two creatures of unparalleled nobility emitted gold and silver light. With the falling light, a duo of goddess-like figures appeared before Bailuo.
To the left was the Flame Light Princess, holding a golden long halberd and clad in crimson armor, she was like a Female Martial God on the battlefield, fierce and sharp.
On the other side, the Silver Snow Concubine wore a dress made of pure white silk. At her waist hung two silver ancient swords, like a lofty female swordmaster living in a world of her own, cold and unmatched in beauty.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Bailuo was a bit stunned.
Of course, it wasn't because the Flame Light Princess and Silver Snow Concubine were too beautiful. Solely in terms of temperament, they couldn't compare to his senior sister—not even close.
What surprised Bailuo was that moments ago they were three cute little kittens. Now, in the blink of an eye, two stunning beauties stood before him.
The vast contrast required Bailuo to calm the fluttering in his heart.
