Beastmaster King-Chapter 636 - Deep Sisterly Bond

Deep within the Karnid Hive, faced with Lu Ran’s request for cooperation, the Karnid Queen remained expressionless.

A familiar that specializes in the reincarnation and fate systems, possessing Cosmic-level strength?

If Lu Ran claimed to have such a familiar before this, the Karnid Queen would certainly not have believed it. But now, as she looked at the Genesis Dragon beneath Lu Ran’s feet, she just wanted to curse.

Apart from the master of the Dream Lord, Shi Yu, the Keeper of the Universe, she had never seen a human who could command a lifeform of the second cosmic realm.

At this point, she no longer regarded Lu Ran as an ordinary human but as a powerhouse of the same level as herself. Therefore, she was willing to listen to and try out the cooperative request Lu Ran proposed.

She glanced faintly at Lu Ran. “Empty words are useless.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran began the summoning. “Six-Path Flower.”

The noble, empress-like Six-Path Flower emerged from spatial ripples and locked eyes with the Karnid Queen. To grant Six-Path Flower status equal to the Karnid Queen, Lu Ran did not hesitate to use his already scarce cosmic power, utilizing his authority as a Keeper to enhance the Six-Path Flower.

The power of Limitless City was draining, but Six-Path Flower’s power received a terrifying boost because of this. It was similar to Captain Doofus wielding Limitless City as a sword.

When the Karnid Queen looked at Six-Path Flower, illusions involuntarily appeared in her pupils, as if she saw countless figures of Six-Path Flower overlapping. Each figure seemed to be the true self of Six-Path Flower from different cycles of reincarnation. The power of countless reincarnations converged, making her resemble the Cosmic Plant Queen.

“It’s real...” the Karnid Queen murmured, never expecting Lu Ran to be so formidable, possessing so many powerful familiars.

In the end, the Karnid Queen fell silent, feeling a belated fear.

Luckily, Lu Ran came with a purpose. Otherwise, if a serious conflict had erupted with him, I might not have gained any advantage.

Upon seeing Six-Path Flower’s Cosmic-level aura, the Karnid Queen also chose to treat her as an equal. “I wonder how I should address you, sister.”

“Sister, you can just call me Six-Path Flower,” Six-Path Flower said very politely, since they needed the other party to level up.

The Karnid Queen and Lu Ran hit it off immediately. “Good. In that case, let’s try cooperating.”

She seemed to want to verify whether Lu Ran’s plan would work, her thoughts written all over her face. In response, Lu Ran nodded again. Immediately afterward, Six-Path Flower casually looked around the nest, gazing at the plants that emitted fragrance.

Divine-level spiritual plants were releasing fragrances favored by the insect species with little other value. Six-Path Flower reached out and pointed. A black rose-like plant gained intelligence and a soul.

“Mother!” The fragrant spiritual plant thanked Six-Path Flower, who had awakened its intelligence, in its own language.

The Karnid Queen was unimpressed, as such methods were nothing special. However, what silenced the Karnid Queen next was that just after Six-Path Flower awakened the fragrant spiritual plant, Six-Path Flower became enveloped in malice and smacked it to death with a slap.

The fragrant spiritual plant died tragically on the spot.

It turned out Six-Path Flower wanted to give the fragrant spiritual plant a different mother. “Don’t be afraid; your mother is over there.”

The spirit of the fragrant divine plant was sent into reincarnation by Six-Path Flower. The Reincarnation Domain unfolded, covering the secret realm. Immediately, the Karnid Queen felt a mysterious power pouring into her body. She did not resist, as this experience was familiar to her. It was the sign of pregnancy.

A brand new life was gestating within her. She glanced at Six-Path Flower, understanding that the other had made her pregnant. This convinced the Karnid Queen that Six-Path Flower truly had something.

Even without her resistance, for a Cosmic-level being to conceive offspring was extremely difficult. Even if she herself wanted to have a child, she would need to supplement a lot of nutrients and select the finest bloodlines.

However, in an instant, Six-Path Flower had seemingly reincarnated that previous fragrant spiritual plant into her body. Under normal circumstances, she would have wanted to say, What level of bloodline and species is worthy of reincarnating into my body?

But what most astonished the Karnid Queen was that the garbage bloodline of the fragrant spiritual plant was undergoing a shocking evolution within her body. The efficiency with which it absorbed her bloodline nutrients was simply faster than even the offspring she hatched from those top cosmic species.

[Fate Weaving: It will inherit the most perfect Karnid bloodline, eventually replacing the Karnid Queen and becoming the new queen of the Karnid Hive!]

This was the destiny Six-Path Flower had woven for the reincarnated divine plant through the power of reincarnation and fate. Guided powerfully by fate, no matter how lowly its previous origins, it was now a child of destiny.

Since this offspring would carry such powerful bloodline nutrients, the Karnid Queen was not stingy and supplied it with all her effort. Almost in no time, the Karnid Queen actively gave birth to this talented offspring.

She spat out a giant egg that landed on the ground. The next instant, the eggshell cracked and emitted a terrifying mist from the fissures. The brown mist was extremely evil. Within the mist, a body, as brilliant as the scorching sun, pushed open the eggshell with immense pressure and crawled out.

It was a giant brown caterpillar, as tall as a skyscraper, with a dull expression. But its imposing manner made the Karnid Queen unable to suppress the joy in her eyes. Moreover, the Karnid Queen could sense that this was only its starting point, as it also possessed the ability to evolve. This fellow had inherited many of her excellent skills.

No matter how she judged it, it was an offspring with the potential to impact the Cosmic level. And its predecessor was actually just a divine-level fragrant spiritual plant? The Karnid Queen understood that this was a manifestation of the power of the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower before her, so she couldn’t help but reassess Six-Path Flower.

Since the powerful species in the cosmos had grown fewer and fewer, she hadn’t given birth to a powerful offspring in a long time. For the Karnid Queen, whose species talent was reproduction and who grew stronger the more powerful her offspring were, Six-Path Flower’s power of reincarnation and fate was simply the best support for her to become stronger.

“Little sister, from today onward, you are the second-in-command of the Karnid Hive, the second queen! Next, please trouble yourself to send my other incompetent offspring back into my belly for retraining as well.”

“My pleasure.”

At this moment, the Gem Queen would never have imagined that the Lu Ran she had sent here for training already had his familiar, Six-Path Flower, addressing the Karnid Queen as sister and even preparing to take a place in the Karnid Hive.

***

Thanks to the unique nature of its abilities, Six-Paths Flower gained an extremely high status in the Karnid Hive, which also became an excellent training ground for it. It was just a bit taxing on Limitless City’s power.

However, having a second cosmic realm powerhouse like the Karnid Queen as the designated target for her reincarnation power was an extremely rare opportunity. After all, other Cosmic-level beings wouldn’t be like the Karnid Queen, who was unconcerned about having children.

Due to the uniqueness of her species, the Karnid Queen suffered minimal loss from birthing high-quality offspring. Other species didn’t have this talent because wanting to birth one high-quality offspring would severely deplete their vitality, making multiple births unaffordable.

Lu Ran’s plan this time was relatively smooth. Having Six-Path Flower train in the Karnid Hive, perhaps it wouldn’t take long to advance to the Cosmic level through the power of reincarnation.

“You have indeed arranged a good breakthrough path for Six-Path Flower. But to achieve the goal, my power has grown even weaker. The Genesis Dragon also has to work overtime even more intensively to create energy. It seems like relying solely on plundering energy can’t sustain such consumption.”

Lu Ran had now become an honored guest of the Karnid Hive, but the Will of Limitless City pointed out a problem. The reason the Karnid Queen currently regarded Six-Path Flower as a dear sister was that Six-Path Flower’s reincarnation power was temporarily enhanced by cosmic power, and this enhancement was not permanent.

“Ah, I understand what you mean.”

The Karnid Queen also gifted Lu Ran and the others a habitable planet as a present. After leaving the Karnid Queen’s nest, Lu Ran temporarily came here.

After hearing Limitless City’s words, Lu Ran pondered and said, “You mean we need more lifeforms like the Genesis Dragon to throw into Limitless City as power banks, right? Actually, once Six-Path Flower breaks through, the urgent energy shortage can be temporarily alleviated...”

The Will of Limitless City replied, “Although this training method is good, we still don’t know how long it will take. Or rather, to ensure it can break through smoothly, Limitless City’s energy aspect cannot rely solely on the Genesis Dragon anymore. Think of a way to trick a Cosmic-level being into Limitless City to work for us for ten or a hundred years. I think that Gem Queen doesn’t look too bright.”

Lu Ran’s mouth twitched. Although he thought so too, he felt that the Gem Queen’s identity and status were clearly not ordinary. Moreover, Manager Ying had already left Lu Ran and was following the Gem Queen for training. This was Manager Ying’s opportunity, so he couldn’t just ruin it, could he?

It was better to find a way to trick lone Cosmic-level beings. The Karnid Queen was certainly not an option either, as she still needed to prepare for pregnancy and reproduction. Hence, she lacked the energy to serve as a power bank. So, Lu Ran could only set his sights on the other cosmic-level beings previously invited by the Gem Queen, like the Beast King, the World King, or Sybas...

“Sybas is too strong and probably hard to communicate with. The World King’s Star is said to have good relations with the Silver Galaxy, and the World King is a planetary lifeform. Its own energy involves too many factions and species. It’s unsuitable as a power bank."

Lu Ran fell into deep thought. “I think we can find a way to contact the Beast King.”

How do I make the Beast King willingly be a power bank for decades? Forcibly capturing him is definitely not the wisest move.

At this time, Dark Crow’s voice came from somewhere, squawking, “My king, my king, Sudden Death King’s species is similar to the Cosmic Giant Beast species. They both eat stars.

“Why not, while Six-Path Flower is at her peak now, reincarnate it into being the Beast King’s sworn son? Then, we’ll all be family, and everything will be easy to discuss. It seems like the Beast King has hundreds of times more difficulty birthing offspring than the Karnid Queen. He must be even more lacking in outstanding descendants!”

“Roar!” Sudden Death King’s voice rang out in the beastmaster space.

Piss off. Who the hell wants to be someone else’s son?

Lu Ran also said, “What a terrible idea. Let me think. How about we smuggle some planetary resources into this cosmos? The Cosmic Giant Beast species grows by devouring planets, but this cosmos seems to have no planetary resources left to provide to the Giant Beast Empire.”

“Caw?” Dark Crow was about to say, but our cosmos doesn’t have many planets left either.

Wait a minute!

Dark Crow’s eyes flashed.

There were no planets now, but once the cosmos fully recovered, there would be plenty of planetary resources. It had almost forgotten that Lu Ran’s other identity was the Pre-sale King!

“My king, but if the Keeper of the Universe of this cosmos discovers we’re smuggling planetary resources to the Giant Beast Empire, won’t there be problems?”
