Chapter 1558: Chapter 755: The Bestowed Surname!_2

One of the powerful members of the Fox Tribe, who possessed nine long tails, each containing a unique elemental force, spoke up.

"Prophet, over the years, our Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe has accumulated many rare treasures that can extend lifespan. Some of these treasures are extremely scarce, and if you use them, increasing your lifespan won’t be an issue!"

"Even if they only extend your lifespan by a few months, it would be an immense blessing for the Emperor Beast Court!"

The elder shook his head calmly and said.

"I’ve lived nearly six thousand years. Compared to other prophets in the Wise Cat Clan, my life span has already been lengthy."

"The Wise Cat Clan ought to have a new prophet emerging."

"Clinging stubbornly to the position of prophet without passing away would be the greatest hindrance for the Emperor Beast Court!"

"There’s no need to persuade me. I have long come to terms with life and death. Keep those lifespan-extending spiritual materials for yourselves instead."

"Living longer could allow you to provide greater combat capability for the Emperor Beast Court. This old fellow here has little combat capability to offer!"

"Once a new prophet from the Wise Cat Clan emerges, the Emperor Beast Court will experience a fresh outlook."

"And don’t forget, every time a prophet is replaced, the Wise Cat Clan’s sanctuary opens."

"Upon entering this sanctuary, the Emperor Beast Court stands to gain several more God Territory Powerhouses!"

At this point, the elder’s tone became exceedingly solemn.

"Remember, under no circumstances should relations with humans be made too strained. The connection between humans and Guardian Beasts is mutually dependent; if relations deteriorate, it will spell disaster for the weaker Guardian Beasts!"

"Over the years, relations between the Emperor Beast Court and humanity have increasingly worsened, and you six haven’t been entirely blameless in this!"

"Even Xiao Yi is only friendly towards humans because of the Creator!"

When the elder finished speaking, the six ferocious beasts fell silent for a while.

After a long moment, a sharp yet gentle voice broke the silence.

"Prophet, you’ve witnessed several collaborations with humanity in the past. During each of those collaborations, when did our Emperor Beast Court ever come out ahead?!"

"In several instances, we approached those collaborations with nothing but sincerity."

"According to historical records of the Emperor Beast Court, there were even instances where royal-level Beast Taming Tribes sent their prodigies to human forces, willingly entering into contracts with human elites."

"But in the end, they met nothing but tragic fates!"

The elder sighed after hearing this, refraining from saying more.

Now, faced with the possibility of not meeting the person he was waiting for, he reflected on his limited remaining lifespan and realized the future of the Emperor Beast Court and the Wise Cat Clan was no longer his concern.

A new prophet would eventually take on these responsibilities within the Wise Cat Clan.

The earlier prophet he succeeded had been unfriendly towards human forces, indirectly resulting in the current situation.

Despite spending nearly six thousand years, he had been unable to reverse this state of affairs.

He could only hope that the next prophet who succeeded him in the Wise Cat Clan would avoid exacerbating tensions between humans and Guardian Beasts.

Otherwise, conflicts between the two would cause catastrophic harm to weaker Beast Taming Tribes.

Judging by the time, the elder surmised that his expected guest should arrive soon. Straightening his posture to appear taller and more dignified, he composed himself.

Sensing intense spatial ripples from not far away, the elder couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

Yet, very quickly, disappointment clouded his face as he perceived no indicative signs from the approaching youth.

The young man standing before him appeared unremarkable, indistinguishable from others.

This sparked a sense of loss within the elder.

Xiao Yi was the first to step forward and greet Fang Mu as he arrived.

The other Divine Domain level Guardian Beast warriors also eagerly approached Fang Mu to engage in conversation.

At the moment, Fang Mu was aiding the Emperor Beast Court in solving a major crisis, making him akin to a savior in their eyes.

Naturally, a savior should be treated with the utmost respect.

Although five of the Divine Domain level Guardian Beasts present were not friendly towards human forces, this didn’t mean they were unwilling to build rapport with the Qixing Domain.

The Divine Domain level Guardian Beasts had long recognized the goodwill that Qixing had demonstrated in the past through his actions.

They knew very well that forming alliances with Qixing would bring significant benefits in the future, free from the fear of being exploited in those exchanges.

Following Xiao Yi’s introductions, Fang Mu greeted each Divine Domain level Guardian Beast individually.

However, Xiao Yi refrained from introducing the elder to Fang Mu. The Prophet was held in the highest esteem, and it was due to Fang Mu’s request that he had come to this place.

The Prophet of the Wise Cat Clan was the most revered figure within the Emperor Beast Court, while Fang Mu, being Master Qixing’s disciple, was merely a junior.

It was only fitting for Fang Mu to take the initiative in addressing the Prophet.

Fang Mu spotted the elder dressed in white, his cheeks adorned with white whiskers, clearly signaling he wasn’t human but a humanoid Guardian Beast with transformation abilities.

Stepping forward, Fang Mu respectfully bowed to the elder.

"I presume you are the Prophet of the Wise Cat Clan?"

"Junior Fang Mu greets you, venerable elder!"

Fang Mu performed a gesture of respectful courtesy appropriate for a junior addressing a senior, exhibiting impeccable etiquette.

Fang Mu was mindful not to address the Wise Cat Clan’s Prophet as "Sir." Compared to titles such as "Sir," referring to him as "venerable elder" felt far more cordial.

Within his heart, the Prophet of the Wise Cat Clan felt a tinge of disappointment, as he had not sensed the aura he was hoping for on Fang Mu.

To the Prophet, Fang Mu seemed like a mere curiosity—a fleeting phenomena stirred up in the last year or two.

The great figure he awaited would surely emerge amidst such waves of change; clearly, Fang Mu wasn’t the one.

Were the awaited one truly that great figure, he shouldn’t have taken on a mentor from this fallen world.

The Prophet steadied himself and addressed Fang Mu.

"Indeed, I am several thousand years older than you. I never anticipated humanity producing such an outstanding successor!"

"I was once given the surname Lin. You may call me ’Elder Lin’ or ’Senior Lin.’"

"This time, as you helped the Emperor Beast Court avert the catastrophe of annihilation, beyond their promised rewards, I will personally gift you an additional treasure."

"If you’re willing, we can head to the Spiritual Cat Paradise now, and I’ll hand the item over to you there."

The Prophet of the Wise Cat Clan exuded a warm and amicable demeanor towards Fang Mu.

Fang Mu’s Destiny Guardian Beast, Fool’s Shadow, possessed the ability to discern others’ goodwill and malice.

Through it, Fang Mu could sense that the Prophet not only harbored no malice towards him but also exhibited substantial goodwill.

Yet, as Fang Mu conversed, he couldn’t ignore the faint trace of regret interwoven in the Prophet’s demeanor.

The source of this regret left Fang Mu puzzled.

What struck Fang Mu particularly was how the Prophet emphasized his surname Lin, making note that it had been granted to him.

Fang Mu couldn’t discern any special meaning in the name Lin that would evoke such pride from the Prophet.

"Senior Lin, Guardian Beast forces and human forces are deeply intertwined. Solving this crisis for the Guardian Beast forces also fulfills a blessing for humanity."

"If you wish to gift something to this junior, it would be better to wait until the trouble lurking behind the Dimensional World Channel is resolved!"

Fang Mu wasn’t in a rush to see what the Prophet intended to gift him, knowing that the Emperor Beast Court hadn’t promised him anything beyond their initial agreement.

The Prophet’s offer of thanks indicated the item was surely valuable.

Fang Mu was well aware that he had temporarily diverted Tianyuan Qiongyan and Swallow Gorge Waggle from the Dimensional World; nevertheless, the four oceanic legions remained in grave danger.

Thus, Fang Mu was determined to swiftly address the menace behind the Dimensional Channel.

If he wasted too much time for the sake of treasure now, he wouldn’t have an adequate explanation for Lian Dai.

Seeing Lian Dai, Shu Liangjun, and the masked Qi Qi and Ling Kang trailing Fang Mu, Xiao Yi furrowed his brow and asked.

"Sir Jianmu, did Master Qixing only dispatch three Divine Domain-level combatants?"
