Chapter 705 — The Birth of the Strongest

"Mm, mm!!" Its enormous body shrank gradually, reverting to a

small shimmering green butterfly that flew toward Qi and landed on Shi Ying's hand back.

It was proclaiming its own strength!

What Susu, what Empress—none of them were as strong as it!

Susu was one thing; she was used to every teammate's swelling pride

right after evolution and breakthrough. She had felt that swelling herself.

But in the Beast Space, the Empress could not help frowning...

"Interesting." Was it because she had been too gentle since joining the team that these

little upstarts could no longer tell what mattered?

"Hahahaha." Shi Jin did not mind at all. "Once you've all reached the universe level,

I'll let you fight."

"Now is not the time."

Just as Shi You finished speaking, Chongchong suddenly froze, as if it had remembered some-

thing.

"Mm-mm..." it said quickly. Just now, it seemed, for an instant it had

caught traces of the God of Destruction.

But in the very next moment, the other party escaped again.

Chongchong was certain that its Dream Genesis, when using the universe as a blue-

print to create the Dream Universe, also possessed the function of perceiving the entire universe,

and should therefore be able to lock onto the God of Destruction!

"Really?" Shi Shuo was stunned. He himself had tried sensing, had the Empress

sense, and had even

strengthened every pet beast and had every pet beast search

for traces of the God of Destruction.

But none of them had found the other party's trail.

Had Chongchong just now discovered it?

"Mm!! (Are we going to go smash the other party to pieces!! I want to solo it!)"

"Fang!!" Chongchong was beside itself with excitement. It had never expected this—the Universe Destroyer God,

and it would still take the Genesis God of the Dream Universe to deal with him.

"No rush." Shi Jin said, "Eleven should be able to break through in a few days

as well. Over the next few days, you familiarize yourself with your new realm first. I also need to recover my

condition. Once we've reached our most perfect states, we'll launch the all-out assault."

Shi You had just finished producing a pile of talent metals and was still rather weak. Although

he now had three Universe-level beasts at his side, Shi Jin wanted to resolve this parallel universe's disaster

at the smallest possible cost.

Eleven was about to evolve and break through as well. Why not wait until all four Universe-level

beasts were assembled before launching an attack on the Universe Destroyer God? After all, it was now

confirmed that Chongchong could lock onto the enemy's position.

"Mm." After Shi Jin finished speaking, Chongchong nodded vigorously.

Meanwhile,

inside the Beast-Taming Space, Eleven took a deep breath, hugged the bamboo pole, and closed

its eyes, rapidly digesting the evolution resources. It swore it would evolve to become even

stronger than Chongchong.

"Why have they all come again?" At that moment, Shi Jin turned his head toward the direction of Blue Star

and scratched his cheek.

"Disperse, disperse." He said to Shi Yu and the others.

Shi Jin made it clear he did not want to interact much with this group of homebodies. After all, once he finished off the Destroyer

God, he planned to leave. He had no intention of returning to this parallel universe. If he

grew too attached to them through all this interaction, that would be a real headache.

Right now, raising his beasts was what mattered. Now that Chongchong had finally broken through

to Universe-level, Shi Jin had another important matter to attend to.

With that, he stepped into the void and departed from this place, leaving only

Shi Yu and the others staring at one another.

"Too strong..." Old Man Shenyuan and the rest could only leave behind this

single sentence in the end.

"He really is strong. But sooner or later, I'll surpass him." Shi Yu said.

To reach Universe-level in her twenties—she had that confidence.

So what if he had two Universe-level beasts? Give her some time, and she

could raise them too.

...

At this moment, Shi Jin had returned to the ice plain. No matter which space-time it was, he

still liked this cold, chilly little place.

"Now that Chongchong is Universe-level, the true face of this fossil should be something we can

figure out, right?"

After landing, Shi Jin took out a Universe-level fossil

he had obtained from the Dark King.

"Mm. (Leave it to me.)" Chongchong said.

"What could it be?" Lin also emerged from the Beast-Taming Space, extremely

curious.

This fossil—even back when Shi Jin had enhanced Chongchong and briefly boosted it

to Universe-level, they had been unable to enter its dream.

But now, with Chongchong having broken through to Universe-level on its own, Shi Jin felt

He felt that strengthening it now should let him peer into the fossil's true secret

—now.

"Dream Entry." Shi Jin activated his archaeology ability.

Though he had stripped away his talents in bug-type enhancement, Taiji, and other domains,

the space-time talent—an enhancement talent that touched on archaeology and was broadly applicable—Shi

Jin had kept.

After all, not every pet beast had hope of reaching universe-level; he could not leave himself without a single talent.

If he did not even have one beast-taming talent, then no matter how many pet beasts he contracted, to call

himself a Beast Tamer would no longer be fitting.

"Come." After Shi Jin enhanced Chongchong with the power of space-time, the two of them

entered the fossil's dream together. The next moment, their vision went pitch black; in the dark dream, within a hazy world, a single thread of light slowly appeared!

Then came the sight of a vast continent.

It worked!

So it was true—the earlier failures had been because Chongchong's level was not high enough. This Genesis of Dreams, which touched on the origin of creation and the origin of dreams, was still

powerful; no wonder it was a move that could, to some degree, "resist" even a universal reboot—

a technique indeed.

At this moment, under the Dream Entry of Shi Jin and Chongchong, they soon

succeeded in entering the dream world of this fossil. Yet when they carefully

observed this dream world, they immediately fell silent.

Because inside the fossil, there was nothing at all.

The fossil's true body was likely not life in the traditional sense

—not a species.

"An elemental life form, then."

"It does not quite count as elemental either. It would be more fitting to describe it as a planetoid species"

"—that is closer to the mark."

Shi Jin and the others now stood upon a continent; there was sky, there was earth,

but it was a continent without life. Shi Jin and the rest wanted to leave this

continent and go look at the starry sky, yet they failed outright, blocked and held back.

"So that is how it is."

After the attempt failed, Shi Jin then wandered across this continent, using his

own archaeological techniques, "Times Change" and "Fortune Turns,"

to probe this dream

world's secrets.

After spending who knew how much time, Shi Jin finally understood.

"Mm." Chongchong looked at Shi Jin, not understanding what he meant.

Shi Jin closed his eyes slightly and opened them again. "This fossil"

"must come from the Eighth Epoch. That is why entering its dream was so difficult."

"Though the traces of time are very hard to trace back to their root, I still managed"

"to do it."

"This fellow's experiences are quite worth referencing." Shi Jin sensed

that many pet beasts in the beast-taming space did not understand, so he explained: "This

fellow was likely someone who wanted to become a sustainer of the universe but failed"

"—a universe-level powerhouse."

"It wanted to replace the will of the universe, or fuse with the will of the universe,

and become the universe's sustainer. But it did not succeed—or rather, it succeeded."

A part of it, with only a portion of itself merged into the cosmic will, until this
