Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2110 - 2111: Bayin Beetle

On the small square, a group of people in traditional attire danced around a floating ball of water, while young boys and girls on the periphery played their traditional instruments.

However, they seemed to lack specialized training, as the sounds from both percussion and wind instruments were quite odd, although the string instruments were relatively normal. Feng Yuan didn’t mind, since playing those special string instruments without experience might not even produce sound.

Unlike wind or percussion instruments, stringed instruments among traditional ones are made from special spirit materials that, although not very useful for Spirit Beasts, are excellent for crafting instruments.

The challenging part is that these instruments, imbued with special energy, could end up with broken strings if played carelessly and without understanding.

With some experience, the sound would be slightly better, even if unfamiliar.

Obviously, if it were only this, Feng Yuan believed no one would agree to such arrangements, as the untrained youngsters’ sounds could hardly be considered pleasant.

Beyond them, several Bayin Beetles were working hard to blend the chaotic music into a lively and not-so-bad melody.

"Those little fellows are indeed working hard."

Noticing the dedicated Bayin Beetles, Feng Yuan chuckled and said that if not for their efforts, the performance of the teenagers might have scared away the tourists.

With the Bayin Beetles’ adjustment, the chaotic music turned into an irreproducible festive song.

"Not necessarily; if they keep maintaining this state, they might soon meet the special evolution conditions~"

Veronia smiled slightly with a peculiar expression, explaining that Bayin Beetles are special Wood Spirit Beasts, though they have tiny wings under their shells, they lack Wind Attribute.

Unlike general Spirit Beasts, Bayin Beetles have two evolutionary paths: conventional collection of materials, and a glory evolution method.

Though the forms are the same post-evolution, Bayin Beetles with glory evolution have their potential and strength increased by about 20% above race standards.

For glory evolution, Bayin Beetles must gain recognition through performance, meaning that as long as they continually receive approval and praise from tourists during their busy endeavor, they can evolve to the next stage, Sonorous Beetles.

This not only saves evolution materials but also boosts power and potential.

However, for ordinary wild Bayin Beetles, it’s not an easy task.

After all, wild Bayin Beetles can hardly find enough audience to appreciate their performances and even if they do, people may not understand the difficulty of Bayin Beetle performances.

It’s precisely because of this that Bayin Beetles are rare in the wild, preferring to reside alongside humans, with most habitats near or even within human settlements.

The presence of Bayin Beetles in Liantang Town surprised Feng Yuan, as despite their habitats being near human residences, Maomu City does not have Bayin Beetles’ distribution.

The Bayin Beetle clan is adept at music performance and is valuable partners for music enthusiasts.

Their strength is not weak. Although Bayin Beetles rely on musical performances to provide amplification effects for companions, their special ultimate moves are immune to abilities and moves targeting supportive moves.

Upon reaching Legendary Level, their evolved form, Eight Tone Beetles, can use music resonance to summon natural forces to strike foes.

As for the Legendary Level form, Saint Rhythm Beetle, it is even more remarkable if they achieved glory evolution; they could master the special ultimate move, Sacred Song: Holy Hymn.

As a challenging special ultimate move to learn, Sacred Song: Holy Hymn can alter attributes and effects based on the user’s singing style, spanning attack, support, healing, and interference.

Additionally, Sacred Song: Holy Hymn has a terrifying effect where its power level and effect are elevated by one tier by default.

Meaning, a Legendary Level Saint Rhythm Beetle utilizing Sacred Song: Holy Hymn exhibits the power and effect of a Sacred Beast Level ultimate move.

Of course, such a formidable ultimate move comes with significant restrictions. At least, according to Dou Yanlan’s information, except for the Omeilia Region’s City of Music with three glory evolved Saint Rhythm Beetles, other areas scarcely have any Saint Rhythm Beetles mastering Sacred Song: Holy Hymn.

Nonetheless, Feng Yuan knew that actually, apart from Omeilia Region, there are glory evolved Saint Rhythm Beetles in Divine Land Region, though kept under wraps.

Given these Saint Rhythm Beetles either possess or are nearing Sacred Beast Level strength.

Unlike other special ultimate moves, Sacred Song: Holy Hymn’s effect elevating power and effect by one tier remains effective at Sacred Beast Level.

That signifies that Saint Rhythm Beetles at Sacred Beast Level could produce Divine Beast level ultimate move attacks.

However, unlike the Sacred Song below Divine Beast Level, using the Divine Beast level power of Sacred Song results in Saint Rhythm Beetles consuming excessive energy, leading to a weakened state.

Despite that, it doesn’t hinder Saint Rhythm Beetles’ strength, which is why their existence is intentionally concealed.

"Are their arrangements aiming to cultivate glory evolved Eight Tone Beetles?"

Feng Yuan stroked his chin, pondering the Bayin Beetles working to transform the music into something beautiful, noting that Bayin Beetles’ glory evolution has always been linked to their musical abilities.

During the Bayin Beetle phase, while they can produce beautiful music with unique organs, they cannot perform ensemble.

Starting from Sonorous Beetles, they gradually acquire the ability to generate more simultaneous sounds until they completely master it at Eight Tone Beetles during the Legendary Stage. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Reaching the Eight Tone Beetles stage, one Spirit Beast becomes a complete band.

From Bayin Beetles to Eight Tone Beetles, glory evolution conditions primarily involve musical capabilities.

For Bayin Beetles to become Sonorous Beetles, simple stranger recognition suffices.

Sonorous Beetles evolving to Performance Beetles requires not only that, but the ability to compose music and heightened stranger recognition – requiring stunning musical performances for approval.

Performance Beetles progressing to Eight Tone Beetles adds ensemble conditions, further raising stranger recognition difficulties.

Although it seems increasingly challenging, it pales compared to glory evolution from Eight Tone Beetles to Saint Rhythm Beetles.

For Eight Tone Beetles to become Saint Rhythm Beetles via glory evolution, they must complete a Sacred Song performance in a place like a musical hall, earning recognition from ordinary people, artists, and unfamiliar Spirit Beasts.

Just the venue requirement of a musical hall alone could thwart wild Eight Tone Beetles.

Before Eight Tone Beetles extensively signed contracts with humans, researchers believed Eight Tone Beetles were their endpoint.

There’s no choice: the first musical hall in human history was Ramedite Hall in the Capital of Music. Back then, musicians with Eight Tone Beetles congregated in the Capital of Music and constructed a venue for exchanging various techniques.

Led by musician master Ramedite, music exchange meetings were held within the hall, where they engaged in music exchange and mutual skill probing.

Owing to the large gathering of musicians, even wild Spirit Beasts in the area developed a peculiar love for music.

Due to the Capital of Music’s freedom and openness, Ramedite’s meetings always allowed anyone to listen and enjoy performances.

It’s precisely because of this that, unbeknownst to everyone, the hall hosting exchange sessions self-ascended to become a musical hall – a special location unknown to most.

Unfortunately, the free Capital of Music didn’t belong to any empire during that era, and eventually caught the eye of invaders.

At that time, a neighboring empire tried to seize everything from the Capital of Music, from resources to population.

Due to a recent devastating defeat in war, the empire urgently needed resources to recover.

Faced with a powerful empire, even severely hit, the Capital of Music couldn’t resist.

As Ramedite conducted the final tragic musical performance in the hall, his long-accompanied Eight Tone Beetles produced a Sacred Song within that atmosphere.

Glory evolved Saint Rhythm Beetles, like a saving Heavenly God, singlehandedly annihilated the invading army, solidifying their name.

However, due to inadequate Spirit Beast research back then, the true evolution conditions were unknown, mistakenly believing it was a manifestation of hope in despair, attainable only in certain venues.

Only much later, through research, did people remove names like Savior Beetles from Saint Rhythm Beetles and discover their true evolution conditions.
