In a conference room within the Rongcheng Base City, Zheng Dong met with the legendary beast tamer Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin looked at Zheng Dong in surprise.
"I say, kid, you're too astonishing. Last time I saw you, you were just a Grandmaster-level beast tamer, and now you're a Legendary-level beast tamer?"
"Just lucky!" Zheng Dong chuckled.
"Lucky? I really don't know what to say. Don't you know how many people dream their whole lives of becoming a Legendary-level beast tamer, but spend their entire lives at most as Grandmaster-level beast tamers, never reaching legendary status?" Xiao Lin said.
"Stop praising me. I want to know what authority I'll have if I join the God Creation Plan," Zheng Dong asked.
"All the cultivation resources of Yanhuang will be open to you. You know about the Abyssal Relic Space, right? You can enter it to cultivate anytime, without time restrictions.
The person in charge of this God Creation Plan is the legendary Zhao Pu. I've already sent your information to him, and you can go to the Imperial Capital Base City to find him!" Xiao Lin said.
Afterward, Zheng Dong asked Xiao Lin to arrange accommodation, and he temporarily settled down in Rongcheng Base City.
Arriving at his residence, Zheng Dong sat on the sofa and contacted Wei Yi, also replying to messages from Ning Wei and others.
He had been gone for over a year, and Ning Wei, Bei Wen, and others even thought he had met with an accident.
Ning Wei's family had already moved to the Magic City Base City, and Bei Wen's family had also gone to the Star City Base City.
It could be said that they were scattered all over the place. At most, they could only connect via video calls, and it was difficult to get together.
Zheng Dong didn't plan to go find them; he still needed to improve his strength as soon as possible.
Wei Yi, the saintess of the Fire God Cult, replied to Zheng Dong's message quickly.
She was also preparing to pick him up.
The Fire God Cult had a vast influence, spread across all major base cities of Yanhuang, and had also built many experimental bases.
The defensive capabilities of these experimental bases were no less than those of base cities.
Without making Zheng Dong wait long, Wei Yi arrived at Zheng Dong's residence that afternoon.
Wei Yi was wearing a red dress and a smart watch on her fair wrist.
She looked at Zheng Dong and smiled.
"The feeling you give me now is more dangerous than facing a quasi-divine extraordinary creature."
"Heh heh, maybe it's your illusion?" Zheng Dong smiled dismissively.
Wei Yi walked to the sofa and sat down casually, continuing, "If you have already reached the quasi-divine level, our Fire God Cult can fully support you in becoming a god. Your status in the Fire God Cult will be the highest, far above mine!"
"Is that so? I can mobilize all the power of the Fire God Cult? Use any of the Fire God Cult's resources?" Zheng Dong asked.
Wei Yi gave Zheng Dong a deep look and nodded.
"I can take you to meet our Fire God Cult's leader, the legendary Lan Meng!"
Legendary Lan Meng?
The Fire God Cult had its own legendary beast tamer?
This surprised Zheng Dong somewhat.
However, even when facing a legendary beast tamer, Zheng Dong was not intimidated at all now.
Zheng Dong decided to meet the legendary Lan Meng.
He wanted to gain the full support of the Fire God Cult. Only by obtaining more resources could he become a mythical-level beast tamer faster.
Led by Wei Yi, Zheng Dong met the legendary Lan Meng in a small tavern in Rongcheng Base City.
Lan Meng was the owner of this small tavern, and the people drinking there were all beast tamers.
After all, ordinary people could not afford to consume here.
The prices within the base cities were more than ten times higher than outside.
When Zheng Dong arrived at the small tavern, Lan Meng temporarily closed it and sent away all the customers inside.
Lan Meng looked quite young, only in her thirties.
Standing next to Wei Yi, they looked like sisters.
In the small tavern, Lan Meng made a special cocktail for Zheng Dong, her technique even more skillful than Wei Yi's.
Zheng Dong took a shallow sip, the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth, leaving an endless aftertaste.
"Thank you, Legendary Lan Meng!"
"Zheng Dong, can you tell us your specific strength? Do you have a chance to impact the divine level?" Lan Meng asked Zheng Dong directly.
"I obtained some opportunities in the Netherworld Ghost King Realm. As long as I condense a divine spark, I can become a lower god.
However, this only refers to the power of my body. My beast-taming space has not yet been upgraded to level eight. I need a large amount of resources to upgrade the level of my beast-taming space, cultivate spirit beasts, and I also need faith power to condense a divine spark!"
Hearing Zheng Dong say it himself, Lan Meng and Wei Yi were both surprised.
After all, they had only guessed before.
They hadn't expected Zheng Dong's strength to be even greater than they anticipated; he was only one step away from becoming a god, needing only to condense a divine spark to become a lower god.
This step might be difficult, but Zheng Dong was the closest to becoming a mythical-level beast tamer among human beast tamers.
Lan Meng looked at Zheng Dong and said solemnly, "If you become a mythical-level beast tamer, will you help more people become mythical-level beast tamers, making humanity and Yanhuang stronger!"
Zheng Dong did not answer immediately.
He picked up his wine glass and took another sip.
Would he?
He wanted to become stronger just to live a better life in the future, so as not to be eliminated and become a slave after the Mythical Era descended.
Of course, he also did not want to see Yanhuang destroyed.
It wouldn't be impossible to casually help some people he liked to improve.
After all, he might become even stronger by then.
Moreover, he also needed helpers.
Relying on himself alone, he couldn't establish a foothold in the Mythical Era.
Therefore, Zheng Dong said, "As much as I can, I will do it."
"Good, I believe you. Our Fire God Cult will fully support you in becoming a god!" Lan Meng smiled.
Of course, she didn't just believe Zheng Dong casually.
Before this, the Fire God Cult had investigated Zheng Dong thoroughly, knowing his character and temperament.
People like Zheng Dong would repay any kindness and seek revenge for any grievance. They themselves had no desire for power, but rather wanted to survive and live better.
They also didn't want to bear too much responsibility, which was a good thing for the Fire God Cult, much better than supporting an ambitious beast tamer with a strong desire for power.
"Whatever resources your spirit beasts need for evolution, feel free to ask us to collect them. Faith power is a bit troublesome.
It's difficult to collect within Yanhuang. We can go abroad.
Many small countries abroad are currently controlled by surrounding totem countries. If we control these totem countries, we can collect more faith power and strive to help you condense a divine spark as soon as possible," Lan Meng said.
Zheng Dong was willing to go abroad. With his current strength and the control of the Holy Grail of Faith, controlling a few totem countries would not be a problem.
Moreover, there were large populations abroad that could provide a lot of faith power, and he wouldn't have to be so hesitant within Yanhuang.
However, if Zheng Dong were to go, he would need to obtain more bloodline power first.
Next, after discussing with Lan Meng, Zheng Dong prepared to go to a Fire God Cult experimental base.
Zheng Dong wanted to obtain the bloodline powers of Candle Dragon, Undying Nether Phoenix, Earth Titan, and others.
Especially the bloodline power of Candle Dragon, which could allow him to use the power of time and enhance his combat strength.
The Fire God Cult had collected a large amount of bloodline power from divine extraordinary creatures. These powers contained different law forces.
Zheng Dong could not understand all of them, but mastering these bloodline powers was equivalent to possessing a key to unlock the power of laws.
He only needed to use these law powers, and he could slowly understand and consume them later.
For Zheng Dong now, the most important thing was to obtain power.
The experimental base they were going to this time was the same one Zheng Dong had participated in experiments before.
There were large reserves of bloodline potions there, and some precious bloodline potions were also in other experimental bases. Lan Meng would also find ways to help Zheng Dong transfer them.
By the time they arrived at the experimental base, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
In the experimental base, Zheng Dong met Professor Ye Lu, Professor Nong Xiu, and others again.
The risk of this experiment was much lower than the experiments Zheng Dong had participated in before.
Therefore, the entire process was relatively relaxed.
Professor Ye Lu held a bloodline potion and looked at Zheng Dong, smiling.
"You're not afraid of injections, kid. Do you know how many bloodline potions we have in stock? How many injections will you need to master them all?"
Zheng Dong naturally didn't know. He had mastered the balance of power, so no matter how much bloodline power he obtained, he could maintain balance within his body without conflicts.
"Who cares how many? It won't turn me into a sieve, will it!" Zheng Dong chuckled.
"You're quite confident, kid. Let me tell you, don't chicken out later. For precious bloodline potions like the Azure Dragon bloodline power, we have a total of thirty-six vials in stock.
For slightly less potent ones, like the Earth Divine Beast, Phoenix, and Eight-Armed Vajra bloodline potions, we have three hundred and sixty vials.
For even less potent ones, like the Ice-Eyed Divine Tiger and Azure-Backed Divine Eagle bloodline potions, we have over one hundred and six thousand vials in stock," Professor Ye Lu said.
Zheng Dong was shocked. This was much more than he had anticipated.
If he were to receive so many injections, his backside would truly be turned into a sieve.
"That's a bit too much. How about we skip the Ice-Eyed Divine Tiger bloodline power? It probably won't be of much use to me!" Zheng Dong hesitated.
"Are you sure? The Ice-Eyed Divine Tiger masters the law of freezing, and can instantly freeze opponents into ice pops.
It has also comprehended time stasis, which can freeze everything. Aren't you tempted?" Professor Ye Lu smiled.
Zheng Dong was indeed tempted.
Every divine extraordinary creature had its own specialized skills and had come into contact with related law powers. Each law power was a key to becoming stronger.
Discarding a key might mean losing an opportunity in the future.
Zheng Dong felt it was difficult to make a choice.
Am I being too greedy?
Greedy or not, for the sake of becoming stronger, I'll bear with it for now.
Afterward, Professor Ye Lu and the others stopped teasing Zheng Dong and began to analyze seriously which bloodline potions Zheng Dong could use.
They excluded bloodline potions with overlapping powers as much as possible to help Zheng Dong master more bloodline powers.
Next, Zheng Dong stayed at the experimental base, trying to obtain more bloodline powers.
He also mastered the bloodline powers of divine extraordinary creatures such as Candle Dragon, Undying Nether Phoenix, Earth Titan, Prison Suppressing Divine Elephant, Sun Divine Bird, and so on.
Zheng Dong felt he had become much stronger again.
However, he still couldn't fully master these bloodline powers and needed to continue cultivating.
After mastering more bloodline powers, Zheng Dong prepared to go to a relic space controlled by the Fire God Cult to cultivate.
This relic space was located near the current Fengdu Base City. It was vast and was a mythical-level relic space.
It was said that the original owner of this relic space was a divine extraordinary creature, the Nine Heavens Phoenix.
The Nine Heavens Phoenix had turned this place into a base for nurturing its offspring, and the cultivation speed here was much faster than in the Abyssal Relic Space.
One day of cultivation here was equivalent to thirty days of cultivation in the outside world.
To ensure Zheng Dong's cultivation effect, Lan Meng had asked all the beast tamers who were cultivating there to leave.
Only Zheng Dong and Wei Yi remained in the entire relic space.
Wei Yi had come along mainly to see what Zheng Dong needed.
Zheng Dong planned to cultivate here, upgrade his beast-taming space to level eight, and reach the titled legendary level.
Taking out the large amount of Void Spirit Stones provided by the Fire God Cult, Zheng Dong began to cultivate.
The cultivation process was extremely monotonous.
But thinking about breaking through to become a titled legendary, Zheng Dong endured it.
It was not difficult for him to break through to the titled legendary level now.
His mental power had already increased, and his physical strength even surpassed that of quasi-divine extraordinary creatures.
The only thing lacking was the upgrade of his beast-taming space.
Therefore, Zheng Dong continuously refined the Void Spirit Stones to enhance the strength of his beast-taming space.
Zheng Dong's beast-taming space was inherently nearly ten times larger than that of other people, so the upgrade speed was naturally much slower.
Zheng Dong cultivated in the Phoenix Relic Space for over two months, equivalent to over five years of cultivation in the outside world. His beast-taming space level finally increased to level eight, and he became a titled legendary.
Along with Zheng Dong's advancement this time, his spirit beasts also benefited greatly from his active breakthrough.
Ling'er and Youyou's growth levels did not change much; they remained at the Overlord level. However, Xiao Zi, Xiao Qing, Yin Xue, Mao Mao, and Jing Jing all became Emperor level, while only Qiuqiu's growth level was Lord level.
Moreover, Xiao Zi and Jing Jing showed a trend of further breakthroughs.
Perhaps in a short time, Xiao Zi and Jing Jing would also grow to the Overlord level.
In addition, Zheng Dong's beast-taming talent also had new changes. He could combine any seven skills to form a combination skill ultimate.
Furthermore, there was no longer a limit to the number of quasi-divine skills he could imprint.
Activating the beast-taming talent skill domain could further accelerate the cultivation speed of quasi-divine skills.
Now, it only took about a week for spirit beasts like Xiao Zi to increase the proficiency of quasi-divine skills to the exquisite level.
After completing his cultivation, Zheng Dong prepared to go to the Imperial Capital Base City.
He wanted to see if he could obtain information about forbidden bombs from the legendary Zhao Pu.
If Jing Jing could manufacture forbidden bombs or divine forbidden bombs, his strength would increase significantly.
In the relic space, Wei Yi looked at Zheng Dong.
"Planning to go to the Imperial Capital? You can go with peace of mind. When you return from the Imperial Capital, we should have collected quite a bit of information from abroad," Wei Yi said.
"Besides collecting faith power, also pay attention to information about mythical-level relic spaces!" Zheng Dong reminded.
After all, obtaining the inheritance of divine extraordinary creatures could also help him become stronger faster.
Wei Yi nodded. Their Fire God Cult was already collecting information on this aspect.
"The situation abroad is also very complicated. There is a beast tamer in Snow Island Country who obtained the inheritance of Amaterasu, and it is said that his strength has also reached the quasi-divine level.
However, he did not allow Snow Island Country to escape the control of the Eight-Headed Serpent Totem Country. Instead, he himself joined the Eight-Headed Serpent Totem Country and became one of its leaders," Wei Yi said.
