“You should know about God-tier Bloodline Inheritance, right?”

“You can wait. When Golden Yuanbao evolves to God-tier, you’ll naturally know if what I’m saying is true or not.”

After Mingxi finished speaking, not only the Golden Shining Owl but all the other Flickering Owls fell silent.

They were silent not only because of the content of her words but also because of the arrogance and confidence she exuded.

As ordinary Transcendent creatures living mundane lives in the secular world, they, of course, knew about the God-tier Bloodline Inheritance of Transcendent creatures.

But from ancient times until now, Transcendent creature species were as numerous as carps crossing the river, yet how many Transcendent creatures could advance to God-tier?

Even if it wasn't as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, it was definitely as rare as morning stars.

It was no exaggeration to say that even those geniuses who possessed talent, disposition, ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) luck, and charisma only had a slim hope of achieving God-tier!

This human girl spoke of God-tier as if it were a realm that could be easily reached, like drinking water or eating a meal.

“...Flickering Owl.”

Heh heh, then I shall wait and see.

Still a bird good at being sarcastic. As expected, one cannot underestimate any character who successfully becomes Little Third.

Mingxi and Golden Yuanbao exchanged glances.

Then, without another word, she jumped onto Lan Yue’s back. It was meaningless to continue talking to this group of Flickering Owls.

Once she confirmed that Golden Yuanbao had no thoughts about its father, Mingxi had even less desire to entangle herself with these Transcendent creatures who had lost their natural charm.

She looked down at the group of Flickering Owls, her eyes seemingly stained with the deep chill and cruelty of a blood moon, “You should have realized by now that this place is no longer safe.

And we can save you once, but not a second time.

I have said all I can! Take care of yourselves!”

If it weren't for these Flickering Owls being the target of the Descent and involved in the 'Ying Shi Plan,' which may or may not be real, Mingxi wouldn't have bothered to give this reminder at all.

“Forbidden Flight.”

To prevent these Flickering Owls from continuing to pester, Mingxi directly ordered Lan Yue to use the skill Forbidden Flight.

Some things can be done once or twice, but not thrice!

She didn't have that patience!

Under the suppression of Forbidden Flight, even if these Flickering Owls were unwilling, they could only let them leave.

Besides, Mingxi had actually been very benevolent.

The whole matter, to be honest, was truly frustrating for them. Although they had captured Jacques · Vita and his group.

Golden Yuanbao saved them, only to find out it saved its mother’s love rival. And on top of that, they actually wanted to repay kindness with enmity and demand something in return.

Just thinking about it was frustrating.

But since they had already saved them, they couldn't just kill them all, could they?

What would be the difference between that and helping the Descent Organization execute the Ying Shi Plan?

“Sigh!”

So annoying.

Mingxi sighed lightly, and she and Golden Yuanbao, who also felt frustrated, had tears welling up in their eyes.

They did not notice the eye contact between Emerald Green and the three rebellious Little Silver Flowers.

At this moment, silence was more eloquent than words.

...

Watching Mingxi and the others leave, the Golden Shining Owl’s gaze was obscure and difficult to decipher.

“Flickering Owl?”

A Shining Flying Owl flew to its side, asking if it should send a Flickering Owl to follow them.

With such a huge temptation before them, the Golden Shining Owl was definitely not the only one tempted.

There were other Flickering Owls with offspring present, not just the Golden Shining Owl.

The existence of the Yuanshi Demon Phoenix, this evolutionary chain, gave their entire race new hope.

“Flickering Owl.”

The Golden Shining Owl finally shook its head. It wasn't that it wanted to give up, but it understood that if they continued to pester, that human girl would definitely not tolerate them anymore.

With her strength, annihilating their clan would be effortless.

The reason it dared to touch her Reverse Scale before was partly because the cub named Golden Yuanbao was its mate’s biological child.

To be able to become a human’s Beast Tamer, at least meant that the cub’s disposition was very good, at least not bloodthirsty or violent.

Even if it was unwilling to admit it and had no feelings for them, it was unlikely to commit acts of killing its own kind.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have rushed to save them.

“...Flickering Owl.”

...Forget it, this matter still needs the leader to step forward. I will go see it.

The leader of the Flickering Owl flock, which was Golden Yuanbao’s father, neither died young nor was it away on business. It had always been near their habitat.

It was just that due to some matters, it temporarily couldn't leave a certain place.

The Golden Shining Owl avoided the other Flickering Owls.

It flew in a winding path to a withered tree about ten meters tall.

The withered tree must have been dead for many years, and next to it was a dark, ancient dry well.

If Mingxi saw it, she would definitely feel a sense of familiarity.

Because the environment and atmosphere here were too similar to the shrine courtyard in the movie “The Ring.”

Especially that well; a one-to-one replica wouldn't even be that similar.

Fortunately, there was no “The Ring” in this world.

The Golden Shining Owl did not approach the well. Instead, it spread its wings, transforming into Lin Daiyu pulling out a weeping willow, and actually pulled out the withered tree, roots and all.

“....”

A silent shock spread...

After the Golden Shining Owl pulled out the withered tree, it then, step by step, inserted the withered tree into the dry well.

“....”

When the withered tree and the well opening fit together perfectly, a very faint ‘click’ sound was heard.

It was clearly the sound of a mechanism being activated.

The empty space to the right of the well opening split down the middle and moved to both sides, revealing a strange object to the Golden Shining Owl.

How should it be described?

It looked like a window.

It had corners, a frame, and glass.

But its window frame and glass were different from ordinary windows. The window frame was pale and seeped an indescribable chill.

Like grotesque thorns or solidified white lightning, it flickered with an ominous, pale phosphorescence.

And the four panes of glass separated by the window frame were all pure black, a black so profound that even the blood-red moon in the sky could not be reflected. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

It was as if it wasn't a real substance but an unknown entity formed by extremely pure, solidified absolute darkness.

Gazing at the window surface, one could seemingly see slowly flowing and changing abyss-like scenes within.

Perhaps twisted minds, rivers of silently wailing vengeful spirits, the floating skeletons of ancient giant beasts, or pure chaotic energy vortexes.

It carried intense mental pollution!

And behind that window sat a brilliant golden bird.

Yaolin Xiao.

The Imperial-tier form, and also the ultimate form, of the Golden Feather Finch’s evolution into the Flickering Owl evolutionary chain.

It naturally sensed the Golden Shining Owl’s arrival and blinked its eyes, which seemed to be wandering in chaos.

“Yaolin Xiao?”

It didn't understand its arrival.

The Golden Shining Owl flew to Yaolin Xiao’s side and rubbed its head against its mate’s neck, as if acting spoiled.

Yaolin Xiao naturally doted on its mate, whom it had chosen at the cost of abandoning its original partner and unborn eldest son.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have shared such a private place with the other party.

The two beasts nuzzled for a short while, and when the clingy atmosphere began to make the air restless, they finally ended this brief reunion, which felt like a new marriage.

The Golden Shining Owl finally remembered the important matter.

It meticulously recounted how the clan had been attacked by human Beast Tamers, how it and its young had almost died, and how an Imperial-tier Transcendent creature, bearing their Golden Feather Finch aura yet completely unfamiliar, had descended from the sky to save them, and other such events.
