Chapter 439: Chapter 252: Rule Authority: Bloody Praise

This could be seen as the terms Liu Shu offered to keep Zhong Yi, now that Zhong Yi had proven his worth with the Monopolizer Badge. Then again, it could also be seen as a sincere gesture of friendship.

Even though Liu Shu was from the Servant Race of the Radiant Ecosystem, several hundred thousand Divine Origin Value was still a considerable fortune to him.

If Zhong Yi had only won first place in a Second Level Secret Realm opened by the Wanyu Gambling Company, that first-place victory could easily be attributed to factors like luck.

But Zhong Yi had obtained a Monopolizer Badge right from the start, which had nothing to do with luck.

Liu Shu had never seen Zhong Yi fight, but he knew one thing for certain.

’This young man, whom Long Mu and I recruited into the Chasing Light Dragon Palace, definitely has more Talent than I do!’

Zhong Yi mentally accepted Liu Shu’s kindness, making a note to repay it.

’Ever since I came to the Guardian Beast World, Star Night has helped me countless times.’

Zhong Yi immediately thought of Star Night when he saw a treasure capable of enhancing the Power of Rules related to stars, precisely because of all the unconditional help Star Night had given him.

If Star Night hadn’t given him a Source Material Celestial Shuttle, Zhong Yi wouldn’t have been able to access the Virtual Source Network so quickly, or realized what the world was like beyond the Guardian Beast World.

’Star Night probably doesn’t have much Divine Origin Value on hand.’

He remembered Star Night mentioning in a conversation with Xian Zhe that he had tried to hatch the Eternal Night Feathered Dragon’s Egg.

It had cost Star Night nearly half his fortune, and he still hadn’t succeeded.

The Guardian Beast World wasn’t part of the Nine Great Ecosystems; it was a barren world on the fringe.

’You could say that I, a Transmigrator, am the only wildcard in the entire Guardian Beast World.’

Within the Guardian Beast World, Star Night was a top-tier expert at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level.

But when competing on the Virtual Source Network against other experts at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level, he wouldn’t necessarily have any advantage.

Even so, Star Night was willing to use his limited Divine Origin Value to help the younger generation, like Zhong Yi, grow.

Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo had both mentioned that Star Night had also provided their Source Material Celestial Shuttles.

Zhong Yi wanted to buy this treasure that could enhance the Power of Rules related to stars for Star Night.

It wasn’t just to repay Star Night for his help and care.

Zhong Yi also genuinely wanted Star Night to become stronger!

’I even want to build up my own power, to make the Xin Xia Federation and even the entire Guardian Beast World stronger.’

’It might be difficult, but it’s not impossible.’

Zhong Yi had learned from Luke that every world has an Origin Core.

And to make a world produce more resources and become more prosperous, its World Core needed to devour the World Cores of other worlds.

The essence of a world’s Evolution was predicated on annexation and plunder.

A world like the Guardian Beast World, which had never devoured another World Core, was an easy target for others.

The Guardian Beast World was currently divided among many federations, and with the deep-seated hatred between the human federations, it would likely be destroyed if another world invaded.

If Zhong Yi really did receive an invitation from the Wanyu Source Material Company and become a Steward for obtaining a Second Level Secret Realm Monopolizer Badge, he could have the coordinates of the Guardian Beast World sealed and hidden within the company.

However, other worlds within the same Star Realm could still discover the Guardian Beast World’s location.

As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you see.

By "standing" high enough on the Virtual Source Network, Zhong Yi had not only learned a great deal of previously unknown information, but he had also successfully set new goals for himself!

Zhong Yi submitted the Crownless Fruit, which contained the Rule Authority of the Eternal Life of the Fallen Crown; the purplish-red heart that contained the Rule Authority of Bloody Tribute; and the Star Meteorite Debris, which could enhance the Power of Rules related to stars.

Because he had exchanged for the Celestial Fragrance Tailbone, he had spent several thousand Divine Origin Value.

Now, Zhong Yi had less than forty thousand Divine Origin Value left.

Zhong Yi planned to spend all of this remaining amount!

The collection of materials in the Pursuing Light Dragon Palace Treasure Vault was simply too vast, so Zhong Yi turned to Liu Shu and asked.

"Brother Shu, I was wondering, does the Treasure Vault have any special Poison Attribute Guardian Beasts or functional Butterfly Guardian Beasts?"

Hearing this, Liu Shu glanced at the faint Beast Pattern on Zhong Yi’s wrist and spoke in a rather serious tone.

"Ah Yi, you call me Brother Shu, so I’ll treat you like a younger brother."

"As your big brother, I have to remind you of something. If you want to advance on the path of strength, you’ll need a massive amount of resources, no matter how high your Talent is."

"Instead of always looking out for others, you should spend more of those resources on yourself."

Liu Shu’s expression was extremely earnest as he said this to Zhong Yi.

This couldn’t help but remind Zhong Yi of the advice he had once given Luke.

He had told Luke not to spend his Divine Origin Value on the Water of the Primordial River for his people until his own strength had improved.

The fact that Liu Shu would say this to him left Zhong Yi with no doubt that Liu Shu truly saw him as a younger brother.

Zhong Yi wanted to establish a firm foothold in the Guardian Beast World, and even become an overlord among the many worlds.

’I can’t just focus on improving myself!’

Setting aside personal feelings, people like Zhong Ling and Shen Xuan were also well worth cultivating.

After nurturing them, he could have them operate on the Virtual Source Network.

The returns they would bring him would far exceed the resources he invested in them.

’The Lords of Ecology of the Nine Great Ecosystems probably didn’t get where they are by fighting all on their own.’

"Brother Shu, I know what you mean. I’ll properly manage the resources I have and use them wisely."

Hearing this, Liu Shu didn’t press the matter.

Instead, he led Zhong Yi to the area displaying rare creatures.

He found two illustrated catalogs and said to Zhong Yi.

"I won’t bother showing you the more common Poison Attribute Guardian Beasts."

"There are only two here that I think are pretty good and have excellent potential."

"One of them is called the Mire Poison Rain Moss."

"The Mire Poison Rain Moss can rapidly transform any environment into a humid, highly toxic one."

"If you can provide it with sufficient Energy, even a Low Tier Mire Poison Rain Moss can generate a vast swamp."

"The other Poison Attribute Guardian Beast is called the Fission Poison Lizard. Whenever it’s injured, it can split itself to recover from its wounds."

"The special toxin in the Fission Poison Lizard’s mouth, after biting an opponent, will work even if the opponent has extremely high poison resistance."

"As long as they’re hit with even a tiny bit and have no precise way to dispel it, the toxins will rapidly multiply and eventually kill the opponent."

As he spoke, Liu Shu opened the catalog in his hands, first turning to the page for the Mire Poison Rain Moss.

Then, he turned to the page for the Fission Poison Lizard, and holding the book open to those two pages, placed it in Zhong Yi’s hands.

The catalog contained precise images and detailed descriptions.

Most of the rare creatures displayed in the Chasing Light Dragon Palace were intended for Guardian Beast Masters.

This wasn’t just for Guardian Beast Masters from the Guardian Beast World; masters from other worlds also contracted with creatures that had not yet matured.

"Both the Mire Poison Rain Moss and the Fission Poison Lizard are at the Mortal Beast Tier, Ordinary Quality, with only one Basic Skill."

Liu Shu had just carefully explained the Abilities of their Basic Skills.

The Fission Poison Lizard was the type of beast that could kill an opponent with just a small wound, as long as it landed a bite and the target had no way to neutralize the poison.

However, the higher the opponent’s poison resistance, the slower the toxin would take effect.

It was possible that in a Secret Realm, Shen Xuan could command the Fission Poison Lizard to bite another participant, but by the time the Secret Realm event ended, that participant might not yet be dead.

The Fission Poison Lizard’s greatest strength was also its greatest weakness.

Compared to the Fission Poison Lizard, the Mire Poison Rain Moss would undoubtedly be more helpful to Shen Xuan.

The Mire Poison Rain Moss could create a toxic environment and cause heavy rainfall within it.

Shen Xuan’s Order Beast, the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother, was an Order Beast that thrived in water.

Absorbing the Water Element in a humid environment could speed up its toxin production.

The Rhombic Diamond Golem Ghost that Shen Xuan had contracted could absorb toxins to enhance its own defenses.

The toxic environment created by the Mire Poison Rain Moss would be a huge boon for the Rhombic Diamond Golem Ghost.
