Chapter 582 — The Gaze of the Four Transcendent Saints

"I have some clues." Seeing how much the other three Supremegod Four Saints cared, the Xuanwu Supremegod knew this matter would not require it to step forward—which suited it very well.

Originally, it had intended to have the Xuanwu clan make contact with that Jiaqi who might take the Relic of the Four Saints.

But the result of the contact it had divined was Great Misfortune!

This made the Xuanwu Supremegod take heed, and it resolved to let the other three Supremegods probe first... After all, existences that could make a Supremegod powerhouse who had transcended several times over register an omen of "Great Misfortune" were few and far between...

Monthly ticket bounty!

Some people die, but they do not die completely...

After endless unconsciousness, Shijin abruptly rose from the bed.

He gulped down the fresh air, his chest heaving with each breath.

Confusion, bewilderment—a flood of emotions surged through him.

Where was this?

Shi Jin instinctively looked around, and grew even more bewildered.

A single dorm room?

Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital ward by now.

And his body... how was it completely unhurt?

Puzzled, Shi Ying's gaze swept quickly across the room, finally settling on a mirror by the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance—around seventeen or eighteen years old, and quite handsome.

But the problem was, this was not him!

The former him had been a striking young man in his twenties, with an air of distinction, and he had been working for quite some time.

And now, this face looked like nothing more than a high schooler's...

This change left Shi Jin dazed for a long while.

Please, don't tell him the surgery had been a success...

His body and face had both changed—this was no longer a matter of surgery, but of immortal arts.

He had completely become another person!

Could it be... that he had transmigrated?

Apart from the mirror by the bed, whose placement was clearly feng shui-unfriendly, Shi Yu discovered three books nearby.

Shi Jin picked one up and looked—the title instantly rendered him speechless.

*The Essential Beast-Rearing Manual for Novice Keepers*

*Postpartum Care for Pet Beasts*

*A Critical Guide to Beast-Eared Girls of Other Races*

Shi Jin: ???

The first two titles were at least normal—what on earth was going on with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Jin's expression turned solemn. He reached out his hand, but his arm quickly froze.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it actually was, a sharp pain stabbed through his brain, and a vast amount of memories surged forth like a tide.

Icefield City.

Pet Beast Breeding Base.

Intern Pet Beast Keeper.

Beast Tamer?

What kind of nonsense was this...

It took Shi Jin a full ten minutes or so to digest this sudden influx of memories.

A long while later, Shi Jin lifted his head with a complicated expression.

He had guessed right—it seemed he really had transmigrated.

Not only because of these memories, but more so because only good looks would never lie to him.

As everyone knew, the ugly had no right to transmigrate, nor to be transmigrated into—this had already become a law.

Being this handsome, he must have transmigrated, no doubt about it...

After dying in an accident, he had transmigrated into a different world where beast taming was the mainstream.

Although this room looked like a modern single dorm, he was no longer on Earth—he had arrived at a place called Blue Star.

This world was very strange, its culture utterly different from Earth's.

Since ancient times, transcendent powers had existed here.

These transcendent powers were not the battle aura, magic, or cultivation Shi Jin had seen in various films and shows...

Rather, it was that every living being possessed the potential for transcendent evolution.

Through continual evolution, most animals and plants could awaken higher intelligence and powerful special abilities.

They were not even limited to flora and fauna—mountains, lakes, wind and snow could all evolve into living beings as well.

Every one of these transcendent creatures commanded formidable power—lightning, flame, hurricane—no different from the divine beasts of Earth's myths.

Against this backdrop, in the remote ages of this world, weak humans could only cling to powerful creatures as their guardian deities, scraping by in tribal form.

In time, however, through long ages of development, humanity gradually unlocked a transcendent power of its own—the ability to command beasts.

Some people, through meditation, could carve out a pocket dimension within their minds, and through this prison-like space, capture transcendent creatures.

At first, humans merely seized weak transcendent creatures by force, making them servants to labor and fight for them; against the powerful ones, humans remained helpless.

But later, someone discovered that inside a beast-commanding space, transcendent creatures grew several times faster than in the outside world, and found it far easier to break through racial limits and evolve.

This discovery showed humanity a hope of rising, and people began to delve into the beast-commanding space.

Then, around capturing, training, breeding, and commanding, as humanity kept developing the beast-commanding power and gradually perfected the system, a vast array of powerful battle pets was bred into being, and the profession known as Beast Commander stepped onto the world stage.

With the rise of Beast Commanders, many transcendent creatures grew willing to sign contracts with humans of their own accord, hoping to use human transcendent power to grow quickly and attempt to break through their racial limits.

By now, several thousand years later, humanity had built a splendid beast-commanding civilization, holding sway over the regions richest in resources on this planet.

In this Age of Beast Commanding, Beast Commanders had naturally become a symbol of status and class.

Every trade and profession was bound up with Beast Commanders; only by becoming one could a person become an elite in any field.

The appearance fee for a single match by a famous Beast Commander reached the sky.

A city with a powerful Beast Commander stationed in it could lift the city's economic level outright.

In the vast majority of industries, Beast Commanders occupied the core posts, and the seats of power at the very top were all held by Beast Commanders...

Yet... though humanity had risen, there were still countless ferocious beasts roaming unchecked across the land, beyond taming, and they often brought disaster upon human cities.

This too was why Wangshu and other cities all hoped to draw powerful Beast Commanders to take up residence among them.

And in his memory... the original owner's family had perished in a beast tide.

"The world of beast commanding... I think I've got the gist of it."

"But why, even after transmigrating, do I have it this rough?"

Shi Jin drew a deep breath. Transmigration was transmigration, fine—but in a dangerous otherworld like this, it would obviously be more comfortable to have transmigrated as a second-generation Beast Commander.

Best of all would be to have a dragon girl guarding him since childhood and an elf for company—only that would make the transmigration worthwhile.

Unfortunately, transmigration, like reincarnation, seemed to be a skill of its own.

He was still called Shi Jin, but his identity was no longer that of Shi Jin the mythologist on Earth—now he was a thoroughly unremarkable intern beast keeper at the Icefield City pet-beast breeding base.

Not a Beast Commander... more like a hired hand for Beast Commanders.

This was a place devoted to raising pet beasts... and at present he was here learning the tricks of raising pet beasts.

His daily duties were to feed some pet-beast cubs, scoop their dung, and clean up the place.

A lowly worker at the bottom of society, plain and simple.
