Chapter 1037: Saint Father and Giant Beast
Qilin Horned Beast lived for many years. It was the strongest presence on this land, which made it arrogant.
But it was shivering now.
In front of it was a human that was so strong that he made its soul tremble.
There was only one type of lifeform that could give it such a feeling.
Level nine!
As a level eight demon monster, it had the strength to be arrogant. On the Posthumous people’s land, it could roam around aimlessly because it knew that, at most there were a few fellows the same level as it. If it couldn’t defeat them, it could just run.
The strong level nine lifeforms were over at the Night Demon Plain and the Cursed Abyss.
“I don’t like it when people don’t answer my questions; same too for demon monsters.” The old man raised his hand, and a power that nearly made the Qilin Horned Beast kneel appeared.
It looked at the old man and slowly bent over.
The old man smiled and lowered his hand, slightly easing the beast.In a world where power was everything, these were the rules. No matter which lifeform it was, they would become intelligent when they evolved to the advanced levels. It was the same in Blue Secret Realm.
Like the Qilin Horned Beast, it was no dumber than humans. It lay beneath this human’s feet but didn’t feel insulted. To it, pride did not exist.
If you still attacked such a strong lifeform, it was the stupidest thing.
Maybe you might lose your freedom like this and even lose the chance to evolve to a higher level, but this was nothing compared to death.
Who asked him to be so unlucky to be spotted by him?
Maybe it would have better chances with him. After all, it was following a level-nine human.
“Very well behaved, child.” The old man placed his hand on the beast’s body. There was a huge size difference, which made the scene look very weird.
“This space is becoming more unstable. I don’t know if you sensed it. Maybe it would turn to nothing in a few thousand days or even a few hundred. The proof of life here would be extinguished in the currents of time.”
The old man sighed, “I am afraid, very afraid. Very afraid. I found a way to live longer, but I can’t break free from the restrictions of time. I once wanted to leave from the gates that the gods had left but was pushed back.”
The level eight demon monster listened. Although it could understand human language, it didn’t understand complicated sentences. It just lay there, as that wouldn’t ever be a wrong decision.
“All I can do is to reduce life and the amount of energy this space ecan handle. This might allow it to last longer. My kids are fighting and sacrificing for this.”
The beast moved, and it felt like those words sounded wrong.
“Haiz.” The old man sighed, “I am old and talk too much. What is the point in saying all this to you? You are just a beast that knows how to eat, sleep, and mate. You won’t care about this space. Even if you respect each tremor, the moment it ends, you will forget it.”
The beast muttered and expressed that it wasn’t like what the old man said.
“Keke.” The old man smiled, “I am not wrong; you are like that. So, I need to do something. You can consider that I am doing it for all of you.”
A black mist appeared on his hand, and the beast’s body shook.
This level-eight beast was huge. When it struggled, the ground also started to shake.
But it was still unable to break free from that old hand.
It looked really weird.
“Beasts are just beasts; if we fight, I might have to spend some time controlling you. But you chose to yield. Since you made that choice, it means that you agree with anything I do. Then your struggle is meaningless.”
The old man’s hand didn’t move; his body didn’t move, only his mouth was moving. But the beast’s mountain-like body was turning thin at a visible rate.
“Once the space shatters, none of you can survive. Then why not provide me with energy to let me live longer? The older humans get, the more they want to live. Even if I can’t leave here, I want to witness this place get destroyed.”
“Also, I might have to attack personally. You know that at my age, even at this level, each time I attack, I will consume energy. That would reduce my life force. You have to make it up for me.”
“Rest. If there is really reincarnation, then head to another space. Don’t return. This place… Will get destroyed.”
“Oh, right. If you are willing, you can use your next life to search for who turned this place into this shape. I won’t be following you.”
The beast’s struggle slowed, and when it stopped moving, it was just bones.
A level-eight beast died just like that.
The old man retracted his hand, and the black mist disappeared. His hands, which were wrinkled and even covered with specks, turned into a healthy color like that of a young man.
The old man raised his hand and was satisfied. He also took the beast’s crystal.
“I heard this thing is worth a lot in that new world?”
The old man turned and revealed a face with a few black threads of energy. But the black threads disappeared. If Ye Zhongming were here, he would recognize that this was the old man he saw before the Gate of Blessing!
Saint Light Hall’s Saint Father, that terrifying level nine expert.
“Yi, there is actually such pure energy? That is… The scent of soul? I am quite lucky today.”
Saint Father looked in a direction. His body didn’t move much, but it was as if he teleported. He flashed and disappeared into the wilderness.

On Earth, in a mysterious space, a woman was squatting on the ground. She looked at a pot of flowers and held a pair of scissors. She considered where to cut it and what shape to cut it into.
A person appeared near her and said respectfully, “Deacon, we sent the invitation to Cloud Peak but didn’t see Ye Zhongming. The person who sent the invitation said…”
“The place is very intense as if something was happening.”
The woman snipped, and a flower fell off the branch and onto the ground.
