Chapter 351 — Crossing the Divide
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 18 of 20
The next moment came a sight every beastmaster knew, knew all too well: the Quetzalcoatlus that had just been a phantom was now, directly in the form of a pet beast's life, contracted by Hao Ling and drawn into his beast space!
Purple motes of light drifted apart; the Quetzalcoatlus vanished from the site, and was at once summoned forth again by Hao Ling. With a cry of "Whoo~~~" it flew into the high sky, both wings blooming with cyan dragon-shaped radiance, and directly unleashed the super-tier skill lost for tens of millions of years, the Wings of the Wind God!
"As you have all seen, this is the skill lost for tens of millions of years, the Wings of the Wind God."
"By this method, lost skills can also be made to reappear."
Shi Ying's voice echoed through the whole hall.
"I don't believe it!"
At this moment Gao Xuan could no longer sit still in his seat; eyes wide, he tried to rise, and was at once pressed down by the old president of Imperial Capital University beside him, who was equally shaken.
"Xiao Xuan, what are you trying to do?"
"I want... I want to bang my head against the wall, just to check I'm not dreaming."
Gao Xuan's heart was pounding wildly, tears welling in his eyes, as he watched the scene before him with utter disbelief.
What... kind of turn was this?
In that instant, the whole hall erupted. Everyone stared in disbelief at Hao Ling and the Wind God Pterosaur that had just appeared, then turned their eyes to the Tyrannosaurus hatchling and the Mosasaur hatchling.
How could this be possible?
How could a creature from the ancient past be revived?! Was this a miracle?
No, this was a divine act!!!
The crowd stared at the machinery on the field, at the people and beasts upon it, utterly unable to comprehend.
Across the nation, mechanics, archaeologists, and beast tamers watching the live broadcast had their eyes pressed to their screens, clutching them close as they observed in astonishment.
"This... this can't be possible..." Even Elder Liu, a legendary figure of the Fourth Bureau, spoke in disbelief, unable to fathom such a phenomenon.
"How on earth did they do it?" said the legendary mechanic Lady Mei Xiuying, her voice shaken.
"I... I don't understand." A mechanic from the Seven Isles felt as though the world had suddenly become utterly foreign.
"......" Dr. Ai Qi of Shenfeng could not even find the words to appraise what stood before him; his voice caught in his throat.
"This is what I wished to present: the Ancient Phantom Beast Revival System. Through fossils, it can restore ancient creatures to the modern age in the form of mechanical life."
"At present, the mechanical field has two great systems: intelligent life and bio-modification. I believe mechanical phantom beasts can stand as a third pillar alongside them, for they possess the merits of both. The Mechanical Soulheart Fruit contains an intelligence chip, allowing them to improve their intelligence without limit, just like intelligent life. At the same time, their bodies inherit the might of ancient creatures, and thanks to the special nature of phantom bodies, mechanical modification carries far less risk than with living creatures. Indeed, even during the phantom stage before revival, modification can already begin without endangering the creature's safety."
"On this point, we have conducted rigorous experiments."
With that, Shi Jin summoned one after another mechanically modified phantom beast from within the ruins space. If the three revived a moment ago had retained the complete appearance of ancient creatures, then those he summoned now preserved their ancient forms while being fully armed with machinery!!!
"ROAR!!!"
Beneath the dumbstruck gazes of all present, an armored mechanical Pterosaur, a mechanical Stegosaurus wielding a mechanical greatsword, and a mechanical Ankylosaurus bearing a mechanical shield and cannon appeared one after another before the crowd.
