The King of Beast Trainers
Chapter 433 - 259 Same Origin?_1

Chapter 433: Chapter 259 Same Origin?_1

"This..."

Surprised by the revelation, Lu Ran wondered if there was indeed a place to acquire it.

However, upon reflection, he realized it would be odd if there wasn’t a way to obtain it given the boundless expanse and long history of the Star-Moon/Divine Tree Continent.

Still, even if the method of acquisition was known, not everyone would be able to obtain it, as it depended on one’s ability.

"Even geniuses of the high-level Overlord Clan can’t inherit the legacy?"

"That’s right."

"The Tree King was so powerful; at twenty, a legend, and by twenty-seven, one of the top powerhouses of the continent. Ordinary geniuses must seem like nothing to her."

"A pity she died young; otherwise, she might have become the first legend of the Human Tribe."

"After all, she was the rare Time Attribute Plantmaster!"

"Back in our youth, your master and I also tried our luck there, but, well..."

"I can only say, as fellow Plantmasters, the gap between us was immense."

"It’s precisely because the legacy is so difficult to obtain that I never took Yu Er to attempt it," Elder Tian said calmly. "So, what do you think? There is a place to acquire the Space Treasure, but can you obtain it?"

Lu Ran fell deep into thought.

A Time Attribute??? For real?

He began to analyze seriously.

"I am a Beast Trainer, and the Tree King was a Plantmaster; can I also accept the trial of the legacy?" Lu Ran asked.

"Yes, anyone can challenge the ruins," Elder Tian replied. "The Tree King probably doesn’t mind what profession her inheritor has. As you said, once you gain her Space of Legacy, even as a Beast Trainer, you can become a top-level Plantmaster."

"Are you actually considering the challenge, you rascal?" Elder Tian was taken aback.

"Not even high-level Overlords intimidate you, huh?"

Lu Ran gave a slight smile, saying, "I’m still young, and I have room to grow."

"There should be a level restriction for this legacy ruin, right?"

"Yes, indeed. Any Beast Trainer below level 6 can accept the trial of the legacy."

"If the level is higher, one’s growth system is basically fixed, making it difficult to assimilate another’s path."

"Understood!" Lu Ran said. "If I get the chance, I’d really like to try it. Even if I can’t pass, it would be a valuable experience."

High-level Overlords unable to pass?

What does that have to do with me, a semi-legendary Sword Dog!

Especially since it’s Mr. Husky in his Deer-Dog Form, which has an exceptional restraining effect on plants.

Yet, Lu Ran wasn’t entirely sure he could conquer the Tree King Ruins.

However, Elder Tian’s words had given him a glimmer of hope, at least letting him know that there was a place on the Divine Tree Continent where he could acquire a Space Treasure.

Even if he couldn’t pass this time, if he had another chance to come to the Divine Tree Continent, he could still try again.

As long as he was below level six, he had an opportunity.

Even if he couldn’t return to the historical projection of the Divine Tree Continent, Lu Ran felt that there should be similar legacy ruins in the Star-Moon Continent era.

In any case, this news affirmed for Lu Ran that his desire to obtain an epic-level Space Treasure was not merely a dream; there was a real hope of achieving it.

"Is that so???"

After pondering for a moment and considering Lu Ran’s anomaly—mastering a Domain at level two, something unheard of—Elder Tian thought maybe he really could compete with that genius who had contracted with a high-level Overlord at a low level.

But...

"Heh, when your master returns, you can discuss it with her yourself," he said.

"The journey to the Tree King Ruins is long and fraught with danger; going alone could take an indefinite amount of time."

"Moreover, once you know the challenge involved in the trial, you may not be so eager to take it on."

"What do you mean?" Lu Ran asked. "Elder Tian, is the trial the same for everyone?"

"It’s the same, yet different."

"As I said, the Tree King was a master of the Time Attribute as a Plantmaster."

"Hence, the trial is based on that."

"If you can defeat the Tree King herself at the same growth stage as you, you’ll pass."

"For example, if you have broken through to level three, you need to defeat the Tree King at her level three Plantmaster stage, and that’s enough."

"When you enter at level four, you must overcome the level four Tree King."

"Don’t assume that the Tree King at a low level will be easy to bully. When she first became a Plantmaster, her first plant pet was a time-attribute Ferocious Plant of the middle-level Overlord grade."

"You could say she started with peak potential and was virtually invincible at her level as she grew."

Lu Ran was astonished: "???"

"Of course, there’s no need to lose confidence. After all, they’re only illusions and certainly not as formidable as the original," Elder Tian said, with a flicker of a smile.

Seeing Lu Ran finally show a look of surprise was quite satisfying to him.

...

Having wandered through the Forest of Death and learned about the Tree King Ruins from Elder Tian, Lu Ran decided to wait for his master, the City Lord, to return.

As Elder Tian had said, the trip to the Tree King Ruins was long and perilous, and as a level three Beast Trainer, he definitely couldn’t make the journey on his own.

Unlike Blue Star, the Divine Tree/Star-Moon Continent was rife with dangers. Rushing headlong would certainly draw attention, and without significant strength, one would undoubtedly become prey to the ferocious plants and evil beasts along the way.

And if he wished to travel inconspicuously and safely, the efficiency would plummet, possibly taking half a year or even longer upon arrival.

For Lu Ran, time was of the essence.

"If only the location for the next breakthrough mission spawned right beside the Tree King Ruins."

He muttered to himself, wishing that Infinite City Daddy would be more considerate next time and save him from such trouble.

"I’ve come to visit you again."

After returning from the Forest of Death, Lu Ran came to "visit" the injured Yu Rui. By the end of the day, Yu Rui’s condition had almost completely improved.

In addition to the treatment from the local physicians, he also brought many healing resources with him.

Otherwise, even if Lu Ran’s blow hadn’t been heavy, he would have had to lie in bed for two months.

"Eh, it’s just you?" Lu Ran noticed that Yu Rui was alone in the sickroom, without the other two, and expressed his surprise.

"You’re here again!" Yu Rui, who had been reading in the room, changed his expression upon seeing Lu Ran.

"You don’t seem to welcome me?" Lu Ran said with amusement.

Yu Rui replied, "No... Is there anything you need today?"

He was still digesting the information Lu Ran had revealed yesterday... and was unable to accept this reality.

"I remember your dad is a Legendary Plantmaster, right?"

Lu Ran had come by on a whim, as he suddenly remembered something.

Since Yu Rui was a modern Plantmaster, maybe he had an exceptional accumulation of knowledge related to botany.

The matter of Longleaf Sword Grass could certainly be something to inquire about with him.

"Speaking of which, do you know how to accelerate the birth of Spirit Intelligence in a Ferocious Plant like Longleaf Sword Grass?"

"Longleaf Sword Grass..." Yu Rui paused, then said, "Are you referring to the one from the Domain earlier..."

"I really don’t know about that."

Lu Ran’s expression turned slightly grim...

"However, back where I come from, indeed someone has successfully used their own methods to help Sword Grass awaken."

"Your Longleaf Sword Grass should have come from a Secret Realm, right?"

"Yes." Lu Ran nodded.

"The Ferocious Plant known as Longleaf Sword Grass had completely gone extinct in later generations. Some people from our side also obtained unawakened Longleaf Sword Grass from the Secret Realm and attempted Spirit Intelligence cultivation."

"And then, they succeeded."

"However, the methods for cultivation like this are not something everyone is willing to share, so I don’t know, but..."

"But what?"

"But I do know the direction of the Longleaf Sword Grass’s evolution." Yu Rui continued, "Over there, we’ve deduced the Overlord form of evolution for Longleaf Sword Grass, though there’s only one successful case."

This was actually of no consequence to him... Lu Ran was silent; with a Trait Crystal, as long as the Sword Grass could awaken Spirit Intelligence, making it evolve would be all too easy.

"Spill it." Still, having come all this way, Lu Ran could not bear to leave without any piece of information.

"The Golden Attribute!"

"That successful case, the Longleaf Sword Grass evolved into a dual Grass and Golden Attribute type!"

"Perhaps, you can draw some inspiration from this."

After finishing, Yu Rui looked at Lu Ran and said, "Can I ask you a question?"

The Golden Attribute...

Lu Ran fell into thought; the Golden Attribute, huh?

One of the characteristics of Longleaf Sword Grass was its sharpness, and indeed, the Golden Attribute might also possess sharp qualities.

"What do you want to ask?" Lu Ran looked at him.

"I pondered a lot yesterday. Do you think the human tribes of our two worlds could possibly have a common origin?!" Yu Rui asked.

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes and said, "I have indeed speculated about that."

"You mentioned that at the end of the Mechanical Era, your side experienced a world-ending war."

"At that time, the top human powerhouses couldn’t ensure the survival of ordinary people, so they established Mechanical Space and transferred most humans inside."

"Right?"

"But even children understand that to hedge against risks, you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket."

"So I’ve wondered whether it’s possible that at that time, some of the people from the Star-Moon Continent were sent into Mechanical Space, while others... might have been thrown onto an alien planet?"

"And then, slowly, our civilization formed."

Yu Rui’s expression became excited as he said, "So you think the same, don’t you?!"

His speculation from the previous night, now echoed by Lu Ran, made Yu Rui feel that it was indeed a possibility.

"Still, this doesn’t explain what Infinite City really is or what caused its creation."

"Let’s stop guessing blindly. You continue to rest, I’m leaving."

Lu Ran waved his hand and left. Whether the Blue Star civilization and the Star-Moon civilization shared a common ancestor was not important to him.

Right now, he just wanted to know when the City Lord, his mentor, would return...

......

One day later.

Lu Ran, who had been eagerly waiting, saw the rolling Bulrush Sea sweeping towards Tree World City.

An old woman with white hair landed directly outside Lu Ran’s courtyard; upon her return, her first move was to find Lu Ran.

"You..."

"What are you doing here?"

However, upon her return, City Lord Ye discovered that Lu Ran was also in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, as if he had been waiting for her all along.

"Master, I’m so glad you’re back!"

Lu Ran said with a smile, "It must have been a hard journey."

Rest for a while, and then take me to the Tree King Ruins again!
