Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
While preparing for a new breakthrough in the secret realm, with sufficient resources, Mr. Ha and the others' growth level was easily raised to level 90.
For pets, the growth level of "level 1 to level 100" has never been a bottleneck, except for the influence of the Infinite City. As long as the nutrition is adequate, upgrading will be like the growth of a human cub, and it will grow naturally.
Now that Lu Ran has resources from both worlds and has the time and ability to speed up digestion, it is much easier for him to improve the growth level of his pet than to improve the race level.
However, on the other hand, Blue Star’s crystal coins have been almost squeezed out by Lu Ran.
The number of orders for pet cubs from animal tamers in various countries has dropped significantly, and the market has begun to deteriorate.
After all, it was because the Blue Star Beastmasters had too few crystal coins in reserve. No one had the habit of saving crystal coins, and they would immediately use them to strengthen themselves once they had them.
If Lu Ran wants to harvest crystal coins on a large scale again, he may have to give the Blue Star Beastmasters some breathing space, or he must take over Star Moon as soon as possible to harvest the Star Moon Beastmasters.
During this period, Lu Ran obtained a large number of epic enhancement cards. In addition to the rapid upgrade of Mr. Ha and his team, Lu Ran also reaped a lot of rewards.
Super beast mimicry allowed Lu Ran's sword intent, sword domain level, physique level, pupil power level, soul power level, vitality level, and energy control to reach the legendary level.
Combined with the legendary Flame Spirit, Lu Ran can currently be regarded as a humanoid legendary beast.
In addition, because Lu Ran perfectly inherited No. 18's stronger research ability through Super Beast Mimicry, combined with the epic Qingling Fruit, he also made great progress in studying the exclusive soul evolution of the Sudden Death King and Dark Crow.
In the starry sky, Lu Ran sat cross-legged on the dragon's back, holding a tablet computer in his hand. The King of Sudden Death was rapidly descending towards the Blue Star, looking at the two images on the screen with a dim gaze.
One is a tyrannical dragon man standing upright, his body covered with black and red star stone scales; the other is a strange crow man with a black shadow like clothes, his body covered with golden patterns and black feathers.
Below are their test data.
"Because of the compatibility issue, the soul evolution I developed for the Death King and Dark Crow does not have as much of a bonus as Mr. Ha."
"Without considering followers and legion skills, I can instantly bless the lower legendary King of Death and Dark Crow to the middle legendary strength. However, with their own full-strength burst, they can only reach the extreme of middle legendary strength and cannot have the upper legendary strength."
"Well, you should be content. This level is already pretty good. It's not inferior to the divine control skills of Peanut and Hel. It just costs a bit of soul!"
"It's almost time to go to the Evil God Era."
Before completely entering the Blue Star, Lu Ran looked back and saw the Golden Toad and the Moon Rabbit working in the distance, and ripples began to form in his heart.
The evil god of stars and moon is about to break the seal, and Lu Ran must get a comprehensive understanding of the evil god before it is completely broken.
The best way is to enter the Abyss before the Evil God is sealed by the Abyss Ghost Mother and challenge the Evil God in his prime to see the difference.
And, in this process, try to let the Dark Crow absorb the authority of the evil god and upgrade it.
With the projection of the evil god to practice with, I will be more calm when facing the real evil god.
Crackling——
King Sudden Death's body was flashing with lightning, and he finally brought Lu Ran back to Blue Star. After seeing Lu Ran leave, Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit beat drums and gongs and began to celebrate.
"Today is New Year's Day!!!" They hugged each other and cried, having put aside their prejudices long ago.
"It's a pity that the Nian beast is dead. We can't bully it anymore."
…………
Blue star.
After Lu Ran had been in seclusion for more than a month, he returned to the Imperial Palace and discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy on Blue Star had increased a lot.
"Perhaps, the nine-colored meteorite is the core of another planet."
"The Nine-Colored Meteorite is so huge, but we only found dozens of small fragments. We thought that most of it evaporated into spiritual energy, but now it seems that the main body may have completely merged with the Blue Planet and became the new star core of the Blue Planet."
"Blue Star is also in the process of fusing the new star core, gradually recovering the spiritual energy concentration from the ancient mythological era."
Even so, Lu Ran certainly cannot think about the current Blue Star Core unless he wants the Blue Star's spiritual energy to fade away again.
Lu Ran smiled slightly and silently summoned all the pets. After the summoning was completed, he left a message for Manager Ying and entered the Infinite City again.
He came to the secret realm pillar and started a breakthrough to the secret realm, which would inevitably lead to him giving up the breakthrough mission.
[Secret Realm Level: Level 8]
[Difficulty: Unknown]
[Challenge Coin: 0]
[Introduction: You will enter an unknown world and experience a breakthrough trial. ]
[It is detected that you have super permissions. Do you want to customize the world view and timeline of the breakthrough secret realm? 】
"Yeah." Lu Ran nodded.
"The Star-Moon World, the timeline is after the fall of the empire, before the Ghost Mother sealed the evil god, and before the death of Los, the founder of the Death Cult, and the fall of the cult."
"Is it okay?" Lu Ran added a few more restrictions.
The timeline is after the fall of the empire, which guarantees that the Ghost Mother is already displeased with the Evil God by this time.
If he cannot defeat the evil god at that time, he can ask the ghost mother for help.
It was also set up before the death of the Necromancer, that if the legendary mission could be completed, Lu Ran intended to leave this chance of resurrection to him.
【Confirmed.】
[The corresponding breakthrough secret realm is being generated...]
[Please wait…]
【Generated successfully. 】
[Secret Realm Type: Single Player. ]
[Target location: Xingyue Continent, the former Yudi City of the Beast Taming Empire! ]
[Teleport countdown 10…9…8…]
As expected, it is still a single-player secret realm.
[Era Introduction: 10 years after the fall of the Beast Taming Empire,
During the past ten years, the continent was in chaos. The empire that had been passed down for thousands of years fell apart and eventually split into many beast-controlling forces. These forces occupied various regions by force and became the overlords of one side. They existed in the form of sects, schools, families, and tribes.
However, without the protection of a unified empire, the survival of most human beings is not optimistic.
There are demons and ferocious beasts that devour people, and evil gods and ghosts that bewitch people's minds.
The remaining human forces are not able to save the entire human race from the dire straits.
Until, the beastmaster Ji Yuan inherited the ancient mythical beast "Legend of the Supreme: Whale God" and proved the legend. He was determined to eliminate all evil demons in the world and let the human race stand on the top of the continent again.
At this time, the human race is facing internal and external troubles. There are foreign races outside who are eyeing them covetously, and there are evil forces such as the Undead Cult inside. Legend has it that the Beastmaster Ji Yuan decided to stabilize the country first and then deal with the external forces. He planned to use the "Crusade against the Undead Cult" as an introduction to summon and integrate the five top beast taming inheritance forces and numerous legendary combat forces active on the mainland to establish the Beast Taming Alliance.
This battle is known in history as the siege of the Cult of the Dead by the six major sects.
After this battle, Ji Yuan's strength was recognized by many parties and he was identified as the leader of the human race. Under the leadership of Yu Shou Zhai, the human race launched the final counterattack against the external forces of the evil god lineage and the kingdom of the beast god...】
[Breakthrough Mission: Cooperate with the legendary beastmaster Ji Yuan to destroy the evil cult of the dead, counterattack the alien forces that are eyeing the human race, and kill at least one legendary beast, leaving your own legend! ]
[Hint ①: A temporary identity has been generated for you. You are a hidden genius who responded to the call of the legendary beastmaster Ji Yuan and participated in the crusade against the evil cult of the dead. Your strength has always been a mystery to all the major sects...]
[Tip ②: The more legendary lives you kill, the less external help you get, and the higher your score. ]
【Tip③: The mission time limit is 21 days.】
[Hint ④: This secret realm is a historical investment...]
"Um?"
"really."
As the breakthrough mission was refreshed, Lu Ran still had no surprises.
Because of the timeline he chose, there are only so many major events in total. If Infinite City wants to find a mission event suitable for epic beastmasters to participate in, this is the only one.
"The breakthrough mission is to let me participate in the siege of the Necromancer???"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could I, Lu, betray my master and ancestors? This is where we made our fortune."
"This saves us a lot of trouble. As long as I ensure that the evil cult of the dead is not destroyed, the breakthrough mission will be considered a failure, right?"
[It is detected that you have super permissions. 】
[Trigger the hidden legendary mission: Legendary Battle (Please defeat the legendary beastmaster Ji Yuan head-on and make him admit defeat sincerely)]
[Quest Reward: Resurrect a historical projection that you have come into contact with in this secret realm.]
Lu Ran was silent.
He doubted that the Infinite City could even detect his thoughts.
After seeing the breakthrough mission just now, he immediately had the idea of temporarily "surrendering to the enemy", beating up the legendary beastmaster, and sheltering the undead cult.
As a result, the legendary mission was refreshed right after that. The mission target was the legendary Jiyuan? "This mission feels much easier than the last one. Last time I had to provoke the Lord God, but this time, the opponent is just a legendary beastmaster?"
Lu Ran touched his chin, but he couldn't underestimate Ji Yuan.
While Lu Ran was thinking, the stars around him began to move and time and space began to change.
当路然清醒过来，他发现自己正坐在一个大堂，大堂内坐了上百号人物，路然一愣，从气息来看，大半都是传奇级以上！ 甚至，史诗级级别的御兽师，也都有6个！ “这次召集各位过来，是想商讨一下对付死灵邪教之事！”
大堂高台上，一个约莫三十岁出头的俊朗青年，他的外貌犹如一尊精雕细琢的玉石雕像，既坚硬又温润。他的身材高大挺拔，仿佛一棵历经风雨的古松。
他的下方，六个史诗级御兽师坐在最前方，年龄都非常大了，没有一个年龄低于一甲子的。
一看就是御兽领域的扛鼎人物，不过他们这群泰山北斗级的大佬，在面对青年的声音，却没有一点架子，只因为这位青年是帝国数千年历史以来，第一位踏入传说领域的超级天骄，如今人族最强！ 在场的史诗，甚至都有几个早就已经成为了他的垫脚石，被其击败过。
再往下，则是数十个传奇御兽师，他们年龄不一，大的也很年迈了，而小的，则像路然这样，看上去只有二十多岁。
再往后，可能就是一群辅佐在传奇大人物们身边的辅助型御兽师了，因此身份，他们也有资格来参加这次会议。
“死灵邪教成立于帝国末期，创始人为传奇死灵术师洛斯！”
“起初，在洛斯的掌管下，死灵邪教虽然作恶多端，但大多数成员依然还保留一些人性，只是希望复活自己战死的宠兽，才选择加入的死灵邪教。”
“随后，死灵术师洛斯突破到了史诗级，死灵邪教继续壮大。”
无错版本在69书吧读！6=9+书_吧首发本小说。
“直至帝国灭亡，已经成为了星月大陆魔道势力之首！！！”
“数年前，死灵邪教内部出现未知变故，邪教成员在大陆上行事更加肆无忌惮，献祭无辜百姓，疑似与邪神一脉勾连，拘禁各大门派天骄残魂，已经触碰到了我御兽斋的底线！”
纪源沉声，道：“想必，在座的各个宗门，也没少受到死灵邪教的迫害。”
砰！ 纪源说完，一个史诗老头暴怒的拍桌，道：“我为我孙儿准备的一尊高等霸主龙族，就是被死灵邪教设计猎杀抽魂，我的孙儿因此昏迷不醒数年，这个仇，我一定会报。”
“死灵邪教罪恶滔天，一长老将我李氏家族管辖的城池全城一百万余人全城魂祭，此仇不报，我李傲天不配再当这个李家家主。”某传奇也脸色铁青。
“我五行宗……”
大堂瞬间吵闹无比，非常多的宗门势力似乎都被死灵邪教迫害过，路然听到耳中，微微沉默。
现场之人不知道隐秘，不过路然倒是从鬼母那里听到过一些。
有死灵师父洛斯管理死灵邪教时，死灵邪教作风虽然也不太好，但整体而言，也并没有做特别伤天害理之事。
毕竟，死灵师父的理想，其实是找到人族新出路，反抗压制人族的兽神。
不过，死灵师父天赋的确差了一点，突破到史诗级许久后，等级也没有进步。
于是，他做出了一个闭死关的决定，去冲击传说级，进行最后一搏。
正是这段时间，帝国覆灭，邪神一族对于星月大陆的入侵程度加大，不少代管死灵邪教的长老都受到了邪神一脉的蛊惑，导致从这段时间开始，死灵邪教开始不择手段的提升力量，得罪了不少势力。
要不是忌惮史诗死灵术师洛斯，以及死灵邪教传奇长老不少，还疑似和邪神一脉有勾连，这些势力早就已经把死灵邪教灭了100次。
“纪传说，您已经达到传说级，就算死灵邪教有洛斯那个大魔头坐镇，但有您出手，灭掉他们，应该没问题吧！”
“如果您能灭掉死灵邪教，我百蝶谷愿投靠御兽斋，成为御兽斋下属势力！”一黄裙女子站起身来。
纪源点头，你家谷主已经是我老婆了，不然呢。
“大家听我说。”
“人族形式现在不容乐观。”
“海外邪神一脉的邪神主宰，已经接近主神级，它的七大眷属，也都是传说级别。”
“要不是有其他传说种族势力在制衡邪神一脉的传说生命，我们人族的情况只会更加艰难。”
“这十年，让我意识到，想让人族在这片大陆立足，必须要有一个统一的势力，将人族为数不多的力量，全部统合起来，只有这样，才能和那些对人族虎视眈眈的异族抗衡！”
“欲攘外，必先安内，如今，死灵邪教就是阻碍我们各大御兽势力发展的头号内部敌人，不，死灵邪教疑似与邪神一脉勾连，说不定已经成为人奸，是我们必须要先铲除的对象。”
“这一次，我将带领大家围剿死灵邪教，大家有仇的报仇，有怨的报怨。”
“不过，据我所知，死灵邪教的大本营，建立于一个十分强大的死亡生物的体内秘境世界，疑似有诸多底牌，易守难攻。甚至，有传说级力量的底牌也说不定。”
“但大家放心，这些全部可以交给我解决。你们只需，严格听从我的指挥，此次行动，一定可以覆灭死灵邪教！”
“不知大家，还有没有其他疑问。”
大堂再次热闹起来，路然全程吃瓜，甚至还听到了有人讨论自己。
“那个年轻人是哪家的子弟，怎么全程不说话。”
“不是，我听说好像是野生御兽师，从小跟着师父在大山苦修，师父死了才出山。”
“啊？憋在山里，都能传奇？来历靠谱吗。”
“肯定靠谱啊，你还怕是死灵邪教的卧底？死灵邪教那帮御兽师什么气息你又不是不知道，人不人鬼不鬼的，这位一身正气比纪源传说也不遑多让，人家听说御兽斋要组织围剿邪教，第一时间就响应了。”
“放一百个心吧，御兽斋都验证过对方身份了，你担心个啥。”
“倒也不是担心，既然是野生御兽师，想必缺个温暖的家，在下女儿年芳二八，看起来与这位天骄非常般配啊。”
“想屁吃，这样的人才，六大宗门肯定直接预订了！”
如今星月大陆六大御兽势力。
御兽斋、龙门、百蝶谷、御兽世家林家、万兽山庄、灵兽商会，都是至少有一个史诗级御兽师坐镇。
如今几大史诗，也尽数出席大会。
在商讨结束后，暂名“御兽之盟”的超级御兽势力联盟，便齐齐向着死灵邪教的大本营进发。
路然打了个哈欠，跟随在大部队中，打算先把突破任务玩坏，再去想办法折腾邪神。
………………
此次出征，大家都是乘骑自己的飞行宠兽，路然由于飞行宠兽太显眼，便跟随坐在了灵兽商会的九龙之车。
整整九条蛟龙，拉着数个悬空材质的车子飞行在空中，供一些不想动弹的御兽师乘坐。
路然于车内闭目冥想，实则在修炼星月御兽体系，不断培养着处于御兽空间中的灵魂分身。
“这位公子……”
直至，随着一道轻柔的声音响起，门帘被拉开，一位面容如月，清秀而婉约的女子端着一壶茶走进，道：“路途遥远，这是我们灵兽商会的珍品玲珑茶，给大人解渴。”
“谢了。”
路然随口道了声谢，不过睁开眼后，目光却怎么也从对方的脸上离不开。
倒不是对方有多漂亮，而是对方的容貌，一瞬间让路然想起来了第一次。
他第一次进入突破秘境时，在某个叫霜月楼的地方当学徒，霜月楼的泷掌柜，提供给了路然不少帮助，带着路然了解了厨意这种东西。
而眼前这个女子，路然竟隐约感觉她和那个泷掌柜有七八分相似。
“伱叫什么。”路然下意识问。
“小女灵婉儿，灵兽商会副会长灵封之女，六级御兽师……”女子轻声应答，心中出现涟漪，如果是一般人，自然没资格让她送茶，不过路然在此次突破秘境的身份为年少传奇，自然有不一样的待遇。
“哦？姓灵，不姓泷啊。也对，这么久过去了，而且泷掌柜是女的。”路然摇头。
“公子这是什么意思？”
“没什么，只是有一位故人，和你样貌非常相似，你有没有一个祖先姓泷？”路然闲得无聊，继续问道。
“这个……请问是追溯到什么年份的祖先？”灵婉儿好奇的看着路然，不明白为什么路然二十岁出头的年龄，非说和她的祖先是故人。
"Probably, it can be traced back to the time of the third emperor. At that time, Emperor Yan had just passed away and the culinary art was flourishing. In the Ningchuan area of Tianlan Province in the Beast Taming Empire, there was a restaurant called Shuangyue Tower, and the owner was named Long."
"I was just an apprentice beastmaster at that time, and I hadn't even reached level one. I happened to learn cooking in Frost Moon Tower, and Shopkeeper Taki helped me a lot. I didn't expect that thousands of years later, I would still meet someone similar to her. I guess you should be her descendant." Lu Ran sighed.
Ling Waner: ???
The third emperor's period??? Thousands of years ago?
She was stunned for a moment, staring at Lu Ran blankly, her brain unable to process for a moment.
“You, you…”
"Are you trying to say that I look this old, how could I possibly be an apprentice in a tavern thousands of years ago?"
Lu Ran smiled and said, "What you see may not be true. Do you want to eat?"
He took out a string of candied haws from the space equipment. After seeing his old friend after more than a year (several thousand years), Lu Ran was also very touched. This feeling...is this "time"?
"No... Young Master is really good at joking. If there is nothing else, Wan'er will take her leave first."
The woman named Ling Wan'er walked out of the car and stood in the sky. Her pretty and graceful temperament changed and she frowned.
She really wanted to treat Lu Ran’s nonsense as a joke, but looking at Lu Ran’s serious and nostalgic expression, it didn’t feel like a joke.
What is the origin of this person? I just wanted to get in touch with him as a wild legendary genius... "I have to report to my father."
At the same time, inside the dragon carriage, Lu Ran looked at the candied haws, shook his head, took out another rare strengthening card, and slapped it on it.
"No wonder I didn't eat. I forgot to take my card."
After finishing two strings of candied haws in one gulp, Lu Ran looked towards the Undead Cult with his eyes slightly narrowed. "I remember Ghost Mother said that the evil god followers responsible for bewitching the Undead Cult at that time were the Evil God of Lust and the Evil God of Gluttony, right? The Evil God of Lust had the successful experience of establishing the 'Witch Cult', so this time he set his sights on the Undead Cult again. The Evil God of Gluttony was responsible for strengthening the Undead creatures' desire for souls... Well, now this Saint Son... is here."
