Even without Guangguang's 'off-screen commentary,' Mingxi knew they had hit the jackpot.

It was like a fully loaded dump truck.

The kind that could send you spiraling into the sky with just a graze.

End Time, a God Rank skill of the Superpower type, its effect is not to directly attack the opponent's body, but to forcibly designate an area and switch its time state from 'present' directly to a certain moment in its 'future,' and this 'future' is inevitably the 'end' state of the creature.

Simply put, speak in a simple way.

End Time, that is, the moment the opponent is about to kick the bucket.

"Didn't we say God Rank wouldn't appear?"

After listening to Guangguang's explanation, Mingxi was completely dumbfounded.

Guangguang, who was inside the Time Realm, rolled his eyes dramatically, "My dear, lovely, revered master, if Yuanshi Lin Yu and the others can awaken God Rank, what makes you think other Transcendent creatures definitely, certainly, absolutely cannot awaken God Rank?

You should have realized it long ago, shouldn't you?"

His tone became serious: "From the moment you officially bound with the Time Realm, the originally dormant cosmic laws are awakening and recovering.

Otherwise, Yuanshi Lin Yu and the others would absolutely not be able to awaken God Rank skills beyond their racial talents."

Mingxi: "..."

She didn't, she wasn't, don't twist her words!

...Alright.

She did.

She didn't know if she was special, but the Time Realm was definitely special. How could an artifact that transcends the laws not be special?

Otherwise, why would she and Golden Yuanbao be different from other Beast Tamers and other Transcendent creatures?

How could there be so many miracles in life?

It was the cosmic laws that gave them the opportunity.

And since they could, others (other transcendent beings) naturally could too.

She just enjoyed this benefit earlier than others, at most.

So she was just simply, a little bit... surprised, that's all!

Surprise isn't illegal, right?

However, Mingxi's surprise couldn't last too long, because her Golden Yuanbao was in a lot of trouble.

End Time activated.

Golden Yuanbao's life moment was adjusted to the end state.

"Yuanshi—!!!"

Golden Yuanbao let out an angry hiss!

The lightning on his body dimmed and extinguished at a visible speed, and his magnificent aluminum-golden feathers were like faded old photographs.

Losing their luster, becoming gray and dull, as if they had experienced a thousand years of time erosion!

His originally powerful vitality poured out like a flood from an open gate, and the energy in his body was dissipating on its own.

He fell heavily from the sky, smashing onto the ice.

His aura was already extremely weak.

He was shrouded in a layer of dead, gray decay, as if he would completely turn into historical dust in the next moment.

End Time made his time return to the moment of his life's countdown!

The entire venue fell silent!

Everyone was awestruck by this reversal and the terror of the God Rank skill.

"Holy crap!"

"What is this again?!"

"God Rank! Another God Rank skill?!"

"Damn, God Ranks are blooming everywhere these days?"

"Then, with so many God Rank skills, why can't my baby Lan Feng get one? Doesn't my baby Lan Feng deserve it?"

"...This Starsea Cup is not right, very, very not right. In the past, it was amazing to see one or two racial God Rank skills. Now, one after another pops up, as if they're being sold in bulk. Is this reasonable? Is this normal? Is this ridiculous?"

"Don't even mention it, I even suspect that soon, God Rank pets will spring up like mushrooms."

"Holy cow! Spiritual energy recovery? Is the novel coming true?!"

"When you put it that way... I suddenly feel inspired and want to go home and work hard!"

"..."

As soon as End Time, a skill that was clearly God Rank, appeared, the audience's imagination immediately became rich.

But their associations were not unfounded, after all, the facts were indeed so.

Of course, some people were also paying attention to the 'suddenly aged' Golden Yuanbao.

He wasn't just old; his appearance also had very obvious changes.

His size, feathers, tail chain, demon horns, eyes... were all different from when he was in his Saint-level state. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

At this moment, he was like a king nearing his twilight years.

Time had stripped him of his robustness.

Stripped him of his youth.

Stripped him of his power.

But it could not strip him of the authority he wielded, his majesty and nobility.

"It's time to end it."

Bing Mei's voice was devoid of any emotion.

Mingxi's heart, however, felt as if it was being squeezed by a hand, aching terribly.

Seeing the old, decrepit Golden Yuanbao, she had a feeling that he was truly about to face death.

"..."

Of course, such a heaven-defying God skill like End Time could not be limitless. Two of the drawbacks of such a God Rank skill must be high consumption and short duration.

So, the moment Golden Yuanbao was hit, Nuo'er Gana's energy value began to plummet.

"Ice Blast!"

"Finger Gun!"

"Fairy Tail!"

The injuries on Golden Yuanbao's body became more and more numerous, and more and more severe.

In his final state, he was powerless to move, powerless to dodge.

He could only passively endure the damage.

Like a cute little creature that had just hatched from its egg, groggily opening its eyes to see the world.

But he did not give up.

The unyielding flame in his aged eyes never extinguished.

Instead, on the brink of life and death, it burned even more fiercely.

She could feel that the dormant second energy core within Golden Yuanbao was, due to this extreme "End Time" pressure, beating frantically in an unprecedented way, as if to break some kind of entrenched shackles!

He was resisting.

Stubbornly persisting.

Obstinately holding on.

So even at such a dangerous time, Mingxi did not recall him to his Pet Space.

Because he was unwilling!

Unwilling to compromise with failure just like that.

Sometimes, Golden Yuanbao was much more stubborn than the unruly Bright Crystal.

"Believe in him!"

Mingxi kept trying to convince herself in her heart.

As if to alleviate Mingxi's nervous emotions, Golden Yuanbao's second energy core, this 'new machine,' finally operated to its extreme.

A power originating from the primordial universe, transcending time, erupted with a roar!

The pure white light of evolution ignited in desperation!

"Whoosh!"

Almost everyone in the audience stood up!

"Light of Evolution! It evolved?!"

"...It might also be an exclusive evolution, right?"

"Buzz—!!!"

An indescribable, majestic power suddenly erupted from the dying Golden Yuanbao's body!

It wasn't a simple energy surge.

It was more like a leap in life level.

It was the resonance and coronation of the power of rules.

"Rumble rumble rumble—!!!"

The entire Starsea Cup venue, no, the entire sky, vibrated violently at this moment, as if making way for someone.

The originally dead and cold sky, shrouded by Nuo'er Gana's Time-Ice Domain, was instantly covered by endless chaotic thunderclouds!

This scene was even more exaggerated than when he used the Ten Thousand Thunder Sky Prison in the previous round.

The wildly surging clouds were clearly not ordinary dark clouds; within them, primordial thunder, as if from the creation of heaven and earth, seemed to be born and perish, and countless phantom worlds floated within them!

A chaotic primordial divine thunder, thick as a pillar of heaven, tore through the sky and violently struck Golden Yuanbao's body.

Devour.

Invade.

Destroy.

Baptize.

Rebirth.

Reappear.

The light of evolution on his body shot up into the sky!

This light was not a single color, but a chaotic intertwining, sometimes presenting the pure white of creation, sometimes transforming into the dark black of ultimate destruction, with brilliant gold, noble lead gold, and deep azure interspersed within... "...My goodness, is this the legendary colorful white?"

The audience was dumbfounded.

They had seen thousands upon thousands of lights of evolution, but this color of evolution light... they humbly admitted their ignorance.

They had never seen it.

Not even a little bit!

"Heaven and earth anomalies have appeared, Yuanshi Lin Yu is truly going to evolve to Venerable-level!"

"Amazing! A pet actually evolves during a match! Awesome!"

"It evolved after taking a God Rank skill, I suddenly want my pet to try it too."

"...No, old man, are you alright? How many dishes do you usually have with your drinks? Do you think your pet can be compared to Yuanshi Lin Yu?"

"Looking down on people, aren't you? Snobbish, aren't you? Don't let my ugly appearance fool you, but my strongest pet is also a Saint-level! Have you heard of the Saint-level Golden Mosquito Blood Butcher?"

The old man said, clenching his fists with a crack, his thin old face full of smiles.

A certain audience member: "..."

"My apologies, sir, I was arrogant and rude. Please, old sir, don't hold a grudge against a small person like me. I'm just a piece of trash, please just let me go like a fart?"

"Hmph! At least you're sensible, young man!"

The old man withdrew his fist, clearly not intending to actually attack the audience member.

"Oh right! This is a genuine Venerable-level evolution, the effect of the pressure purification must be very strong. I missed Mingxi's three pets evolving simultaneously a few days ago, but this time I finally get to experience something fresh!"

Noticing the young man beside him whose eyes suddenly lit up at his words, he said grumpily, "Young man, if your pet doesn't have Emperor-level strength or above, don't let it out to harm pets and yourself. Some blessings, at your young age, you can't handle."

The young man suddenly smiled: "Old man, you're also looking down on people, aren't you? Though I may be humble, I happen to have two Emperor-level pets."

Old man: "..."

This was truly a case of a dull radish meeting a sharp grater.

A formidable person met another formidable person.

Similar conversations to those of these two amusing individuals appeared among many in the audience.

Many pets of considerable strength also appeared in the audience, preparing to receive the evolutionary pressure.

"Hey you! Quickly turn off the Starsea Watch!"

A clever person suddenly shouted loudly.

The protective shields used in Yushou competitions are usually defensive items.

However, because the Starsea Cup is the highest-level competition in the Alliance, the participating pets are often Saint-level, and sometimes even Venerable-level.

The Impact they cause during battles cannot be handled by just any ordinary item.

Therefore, the battle arena at each Starsea Cup venue temporarily receives an artifact called the Starsea Watch.

It is also the most widely known artifact.

This artifact is held by the Alliance Beast Taming Center headquarters and is escorted by special personnel to the venue before each Starsea Cup begins.

The Starsea Watch has only three functions: isolation, defense, and sub-devices.

Sub-devices are copies separated from the main device, also possessing the ability to isolate and defend, but their functions are relatively inferior to the main device.

The Starsea Watch can replicate up to 12 sub-devices, which is why there are only a maximum of 12 battle arenas during the Starsea Cup competition.

The Starsea Watch has the ability to isolate. It's uncertain if it will affect Yuanshi Lin Yu's evolution, but it will definitely affect the pressure purification.

So smart people immediately thought of this.

As for why Mingxi could hear the outside sounds now?

It's simple, the temporary controller deliberately turned off the sound isolation.

Mingxi mused, "These people really value strength over their lives."

One must know that there were not only pets present, but also a large number of ordinary people and low-level Beast Tamers!

The evolutionary pressure of a Venerable-level pet was not something ordinary humans could withstand. Even high-level Beast Tamers, without S-rank strength, would struggle.

If the Starsea Watch were turned off, this stadium would probably be a bloodbath!

No, she absolutely couldn't cause such a huge disaster.

Mingxi immediately said, "You can't turn it off! Unless you want to kill the audience!"

Even if Bing Mei and Nuo'er Gana agreed, she couldn't possibly agree ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) to such a thing.

She might not care about the lives of the audience, but she absolutely couldn't let Golden Yuanbao inexplicably bear such a blood debt!

He was still just a pup.

He just wanted to evolve during the match, that's all.

╮(￣⊿￣)╭

As soon as Mingxi spoke, that clever person also understood and had another flash of inspiration:

"Then let's discuss, can my pet be put on the battle arena?"

"Mine too!"

"Me, me, me!"

"...?"

While Mingxi was utterly speechless, Bing Mei at the opposite command platform also silently raised her hand, "I agree to let other pets onto the stage, but I also have to summon my other pets, and you can't rule me as fouling."

Any Beast Tamer competition has clear regulations that if a pet or Beast Tamers evolves (awakens) during the match, the match is forcibly suspended, and the opponent may not interfere in any form or method.

So, when the light of evolution appeared on Golden Yuanbao, Bing Mei and Nuo'er Gana stopped making any moves.

Mingxi: "..."

She knew that many Beast Tamers valued pressure purification, but she didn't expect even a strong woman like Bing Mei to value it so much.

"...I don't care."

However, she didn't think the organizers would agree.

After all, it was a competition.

If something went wrong with such a mess, no one could bear the responsibility... right?

Facts proved that Mingxi was still too naive.

In less than a minute, the isolation range of the Starsea Watch was deliberately doubled, and the battle arena was surrounded by pets of various appearances from all directions.

It was so efficient that Mingxi suspected that some of the tedious procedures she had encountered in the past were just her illusion.

However, it was also understandable. The surrounding pets included not only those of Bing Mei and other contestants, but also those of some Staff Members.

Abusing power for personal gain, as expected, was the most effective way for humans to improve work efficiency.

Of course, Mingxi also summoned Little Silver Flower and the others.

To join in the fun.

And to give the seven treasures a little shock from their big brother.

At this moment, countless energy forms of light circulated and fused around Golden Yuanbao!

Perhaps because Golden Yuanbao was eager to get back on track, his evolutionary anomaly came and went quite quickly this time.

Within the light, Golden Yuanbao's form was undergoing a world-shattering transformation!

"Buzz!"

Heaven and earth shone, and pressure permeated the air.

"Boom—!"

At this moment, Golden Yuanbao seemed to have become the center of the universe.

He was the singularity.

Triggering the Big Bang.

In just the blink of an eye, Golden Yuanbao had completed the leap from Saint-level to Venerable-level.

The Golden Yuanbao in Mingxi's eyes was no longer the appearance of Yuanshi Lin Yu.
