Chapter 460: Chapter 280: Finally Seeing the Divine Deer_1

In the Relic Space.

Mr. Husky and the Little Sword Spirit were still training against the King of Sudden Death.

"Ziha ziha..."

Mr. Husky, with the Sword Grass in his mouth, had his drool frozen into icicles as he made slashing attacks.

"Woof!"

The Little Sword Spirit, in its Husky incarnation as a crescent scythe, bent its sword-formed spiritual body, brandishing its sword in a dog-like manner, constantly flying around and chopping at the King of Sudden Death.

"Roar!!!"

The King of Sudden Death had a headache.

If it were just Mr. Husky, the King of Sudden Death would consider taking a hit to counter, to increase Mr. Husky’s training intensity.

Let Mr. Husky experience the wickedness of the King of Shield Return.

However, because Mr. Husky had brought a little Sword Spirit with him, the King of Sudden Death didn’t feel it was right to retaliate, afraid that a single counterattack might instantly obliterate the Sword Spirit.

Moreover, it would be the kind of obliteration that not even the Divine Deer Pendant could heal.

But this problem was actually quite easy to solve.

All Mr. Husky had to do was let the Sword Spirit possess him.

The current teaching mode was to let the Sword Spirit observe him demonstrating the Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent and then imitate it.

But in fact, there was another teaching mode—it was to have the Sword Spirit possess him and personally experience the Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent.

When then came to pass, with both as one, the main damage would be taken by Mr. Husky’s physical body, so the Sword Spirit would not be affected too severely.

Yet, Mr. Husky really was quite cunning. It didn’t choose the second teaching method because it didn’t want the King of Sudden Death to retaliate; it didn’t want to get hurt itself.

However, despite Mr. Husky’s great intentions, Lu Ran, the troublemaker, had no intention of letting Mr. Husky and the Sword Spirit learn so effortlessly.

Such training was too inefficient.

Mr. Husky only taught the Sword Spirit the Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent, nothing else, and they didn’t get any other kind of training.

For the King of Sudden Death, it had only trained its defensive power and nothing else.

Now with the arrival of the Colorful Meteorite Fragment, Lu Ran, the troublemaker, immediately upgraded their training content.

Under Lu Ran’s tampering, the King of Sudden Death was equipped with meteorite fragments and returned from just taking hits to practicing the Meteor Star Training Method once more.

And the Sword Spirit also possessed Mr. Husky, their combined training content abruptly changed from "chopping the King of Sudden Death target" to "chopping meteorites".

This training transformation not only gave the King of Sudden Death a heart attack, but it also left Mr. Husky and the Corpse Dog stunned.

Because now, for Mr. Husky and the Corpse Dog, if they failed to chop the falling King of Sudden Death back into the sky, what awaited them was being smashed into a big pit.

For the King of Sudden Death, besides being chopped, there was also the potential secondary injury from hitting the ground—truly high-pressure training.

However, this made the training become much richer than before; the King of Sudden Death was not only learning Meteor Intent, but it also enhanced the Sword Spirit’s possession abilities, as well as Mr. Husky’s capability to withstand impacts, killing three birds with one stone.

"It’s no wonder I’m me."

After arranging the new training content, Lu Ran packed up and left, also not worried about Mr. Husky and the others trashing the Relic Space.

Kidding, this is a space transformed by a Level 8 Legendary Plantmaster; its sturdiness far exceeds that of the Training Secret Realm, outstripping it by who knows how many times. If Mr. Husky and the King of Sudden Death managed to dismantle it, he might as well take his Pet Beast’s surname in the future.

...

"Eiyouwei?"

"I’ve been gone for just these few minutes, and you’re playing hide and seek with me."

After adjusting the training content for Mr. Husky and the others, Lu Ran returned to the floating Yun Bao.

With his own Data Eye, he noticed that the Deer Spirit, which had just stopped momentarily, had run off again when he wasn’t watching, dashing far away in a blink.

Seeing this, Lu Ran immediately commanded the Weather Spirit to follow.

Lu Ran had discovered that this group of Deer Spirits had a rhythm; they ran until tired, ate their fill, and then ran again!

However, since he didn’t know where exactly they intended to run to, following them was quite exhausting for Lu Ran.

Of course, while tracking was tracking, Lu Ran wasn’t just staring at them the entire time; most of the time, he was busy with his own things.

Like setting up a pot in the air, preparing some extra food rations...

And so, after three days of Lu Ran’s vigilance, Fang Lan emerged from the Breakthrough Secret Realm.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t be of any help with the Black Dragon incident since she was only a Level 2 Beast Trainer. It would be different if the Senior Chairman returned from the Breakthrough Secret Realm.

An Overlord Qilin above Level 60, combined with the Senior Chairman’s Beast Training Technique enhancements, might not be any weaker than the Iron-Eating Beast Guardian or the Crane Guardian God.

"Let’s talk about Fang Lan’s issue later," Lu Ran muttered on the cloud.

If it weren’t for the Black Dragon matter, Lu Ran would already be happily planting trees in Green Sea City, transplanting the Forest of Death to Green Sea and then casually letting Fang Lan pick and cultivate poisonous plants.

But now, that might be delayed for a few days. The competition in the Chu Nation took precedence!

Lu Ran kept tracking the Deer Spirits, and over the following days, with the spread of the name of Lord Divine Deer, the figures of the Deer Spirits became more divine, and they ran for longer and longer periods of time.

Finally, with much effort, the last group of Divine Deer crossed several provinces and finally stopped completely within a natural reserve in Chu Nation.

"Youmei~~~~"

"Youmei~~~~"

After arriving in the mountain forest of this natural reserve, the Deer Spirits were extremely excited and animated. Lu Ran remained calmly sitting on the cloud, quietly observing them.

Over the days, Lu Ran’s patience was also honed, resolved not to uncork the champagne prematurely unless he saw Lord Divine Deer itself.

Fortunately, this time the group of Deer Spirits did not seem to fool Lu Ran; upon arriving at this place, they acted as if they had completed a mission. In their excited cries, they all transformed into faint lights and vanished into the air.

Feeling a tightness in his chest, Lu Ran looked around and noticed that after their disappearance, an entrance to a Secret Realm, resembling a Dimensional Door, directly appeared at the location.

"This is..."

Lu Ran’s heart was thumping as he swiftly leaped down from the clouds. Approaching the entrance to the Secret Realm, he didn’t worry about safety; he just tried to enter directly.

However, as soon as his entire body passed through the doorway, just like passing through air, he found himself on the other side of the door. Lu Ran knew his entry had failed; perhaps a key was needed to enter.

"Deer Horn of God."

Lu Ran took out the Deer Horn of God and held it tightly, while the Weather Spirit nestled in his hat, looking at the doorway. This time, with the horn in hand, Lu Ran entered the Secret Realm entrance quite smoothly, crossing through space in a flash and moving from the Blue Star space to another dimension.

Hum!

Lu Ran’s brain was roaring.

Before his eyes, the darkness gradually turned to white.

This space was a pure white expanse. As soon as he entered, Lu Ran knew this place was definitely not created by Infinite City.

Because when entering a Trial Secret Realm established by Infinite City, there would be a system sound prompt, but this Secret Realm was like a real Reality Secret Realm, without a trace of Infinite City’s interference.

Standing in the pristine space, Lu Ran looked around. Just as he was about to call out, his heart pounded violently, because as he looked back, he saw a white Divine Deer lying on the ground with its eyes closed.

It resembled the extinct genuine branched-antler deer, with twelve colorful branch-like antlers sprouting from its head. It’s white body was flickering with golden star-like spots, appearing utterly sacred, elegant, and beautiful.

"Divine Deer?"

As Lu Ran’s heartbeat quickened, the information about the deer also appeared before his eyes.

[Name]: ???

[Attribute]: ???

[Species Level]: ???

[Growth Level]: ???

"To hell with this!!" Lu Ran silently cursed upon seeing only question marks displayed by Data Eye. Was his intermediate Data Eye insufficient to read the Divine Deer’s information?

And how does one obtain an advanced Data Eye?

He had received multiple SSS class scores, yet Infinite City had not upgraded his Data Eye...

As Lu Ran was internally complaining, the Divine Deer with its eyes closed finally opened them.

With its movement, Lu Ran immediately ceased his mental activity.

The golden-green pupils of the Divine Deer, as profound as the stars, drew Lu Ran’s soul into their depths. Their mutual gaze made Lu Ran feel the difference in life hierarchy for the first time.

"Divine Deer..." he muttered, and the Weather Spirit inside his hat shrank further, not daring to show itself.

"Are you... Divine Deer?"

Lu Ran asked again, nervously, while the regally poised Divine Deer, standing up and looking into the void, seemed to respond to him.

[I didn’t expect so much time to have passed.]

After staring into the void for a while, it then turned its attention to the Deer Horn of God in Lu Ran’s hand.

[I am the Divine Deer, yet also not the Divine Deer.]

[You may consider me as an avatar shaped by the Divine Deer through energy.]

Energy Shaping, the third stage, Life Shaping?

"Lord Divine Deer!" Lu Ran didn’t care if it was the original or an avatar, this was the first Legendary Being he had ever encountered; his excitement was boundless.

"I am your faithful follower!!!"

The Divine Deer scrutinized Lu Ran, then shook its head, conveying through spirits: [But I have not felt any power of faith coming from you.]

Lu Ran: ???

Lu Ran’s hand, holding the horn, froze mid-air. "That can’t be right..."

[That’s not important.] The Divine Deer looked at Lu Ran.

[The fact that you’ve found this place indicates that the spiritual energy of Blue Star has revived. You must have many questions, and I shall answer them for you.]

[If you need to, ask your questions.]

Lu Ran nodded vigorously; indeed, he had many, many questions.

Meeting the Legendary Divine Deer, Lu Ran felt the truth of the world was almost within grasp.

Lifting his head, he took a deep breath and asked, "Lord Divine Deer, as far as I know, you are an Affiliation of the Life Dragon God among the Four Great Genesis Dragons of the Star-Moon Continent, and Star-Moon is not the same place as Blue Star. How did you come to Blue Star, why did you come here, and why did you become the guardian of our Lu Family Village?"

[A disaster once happened on the Star-Moon Continent. A part of life as a seed was Teleported to this planet to propagate. I followed here to ensure that this seed could transform successfully into life.]

Lu Ran’s jaw dropped, his pupils trembling.

"So you’re saying that the humans of the Star-Moon Continent and those of Blue Star have the same origin??"

[As for why I protect a group of humans, it’s because I was destined not to stay long on Blue Star. I hoped to have a group of followers to maintain the ecological balance of Blue Star for me.]

[However, before that day came, the environment of Blue Star underwent radical changes, and I was forced to leave the planet, leaving behind only a sleeping avatar.]

The Divine Deer, recollecting the past, continued: [When I left, I left behind a broken horn, and I blessed those people, with the knowledge that one day someone with extraordinary Talent, holding the horn, would come here and awaken my avatar.]

[It appears that person is you.]

Lu Ran, after a brief silence, said, "Oh right! Infinite City. Lord Divine Deer, are you aware of Infinite City’s existence?"

The Divine Deer shook its head: [I am aware of its existence but not of its origin. Even the Mechanical Main God, I suspect, could not create such a facility. If anyone could, in my mind, it would perhaps only be the Four Great Dragon Gods, but those who maintain the Space-Time of life and death have been missing for so long, I can’t be sure if Infinite City is related to them.]

Even the Divine Deer... didn’t know about Infinite City.

Lu Ran felt bewildered for a moment.

What is the origin of this Infinite City?

[Young human, do you have any other questions?]

Young human???

Lu Ran’s mouth twitched. Although young, he was an adult; how could he be related to young humans?!
