Chapter 555: Chapter 354 Has the Evil God Awakened?_1

The Time Attribute awakening resource was originally prepared for the Six Paths Flower, but after confirming that the Six Paths Flower doesn’t need it, Lu Ran naturally had to find another candidate.

However, since the Time Attribute awakening resource isn’t a 100% guarantee for awakening the Time Attribute, it also depends on the Pet Beast’s affinity with the Time Attribute, so he couldn’t be too careless.

The most foolproof method is to combine it with the Future Predicting trait from the Time-Series Legendary Secret Realm.

Firstly, integrate the Future Predicting trait, let the Pet Beast train to enhance its Time Attribute affinity, and then awaken the Time Attribute.

In Lu Ran’s team, Mr. Husky, King of Sudden Death, Dark Crow, Yun Bao...

After careful elimination, it seems that only the Dark Crow is suitable for both traits.

The Dark Crow was originally trained by Lu Ran as a scout, and with the Eye of the Evil God + Future Predicting, its scouting ability could become even more powerful.

In the Time-Series Legendary Secret Realm, initially the Dark Crow couldn’t detect the concealed Butterflies of Time because it lacked the corresponding Time-series scouting means. Once it integrates the Future Predicting trait, the next time it encounters a Time Attribute enemy, it might be able to scout them out better.

Besides that, the Time Attribute and the Power of Curse seemed to unexpectedly match well; Lu Ran had always boasted about curses that transcend the river of time, though he also knew it was impractical, unless the Dark Crow reached the level of the Four Great Dragons Gods.

But even if it couldn’t reach such heights, referencing the Six Paths Flower from that time, Death Power + Time Power was also an incredibly amazing skill. The Dark Crow just needed to add the Ultra-Distant Curse Power on top of that to become an existence even more bizarre than the Six Paths Flower.

"Dark Crow, heed my command!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

Having thought it through along the way and finally made a decision, Lu Ran took out the Future Predicting trait.

The Dark Crow flew over with burning eyes; it was completely obedient to Lu Ran’s arrangements, and whatever trait Lu Ran asked it to integrate, it had no complaints.

Growth Level: Twin Ravens

Growth Level: Level 50

In Lu Ran’s team, Yun Bao was the first to reach Level 50 because it consumed too many resources during evolution. But during that time, and while Lu Ran’s Beast Training Space was being opened up by the Divine Deer, Mr. Husky and the others, who kept voraciously consuming World’s Rare Resources, were also getting very close to Level 50.

Among them, the Dark Crow’s leveling speed was the fastest; after Yun Bao, it was the second to reach Level 50.

"Here."

Lu Ran threw out the Future Predicting trait, and the Dark Crow’s shadow flashed by, directly consuming the Trait Crystal.

The next instant, it closed its eyes violently as if stimulated...

And when it opened its eyes again, the patterns in its eyes had changed.

Directly from the original red vertical pupils, it changed into a special red pattern shaped like a six-pointed star representing Time!!!

"With these eyes..."

"I can see the future!!!"

"I shall use these eyes to clear all foes for the great king!"

Lu Ran ignored the outbreak of Dark Crow’s chuunibyou spirit and quickly observed the attributes of the Dark Crow.

Unfortunately, the Future Predicting trait wasn’t one that strongly enhanced the Species Level. The Dark Crow’s Species Level was still Twin Lower Overlords; it seemed that if it wanted to improve further, it would still have to rely on a second stage of Evolution.

"What the...?"

Actually, Lu Ran hadn’t been confident about the Dark Crow’s Species Level advancement, and he hadn’t even been hopeful that the Dark Crow could awaken a new Racial Talent.

After all, he had integrated the Future Predicting trait into the Dark Crow solely to lay the foundation for awakening the Time Attribute.

In essence, the Dark Crow didn’t have any natural talent related to the Time Attribute at that moment.

But, after integrating the Future Predicting trait this time, the Dark Crow still awakened a new talent, to Lu Ran’s surprise.

Racial Talent: Delayed Curse (Ability to embed the Power of Curse inside the enemy’s body and detonate the curse when needed in the future).

"This Time Attribute talent of yours isn’t bad."

"It seems you do have some Time Attribute talent."

"Now I’m even more confident in awakening your Time Attribute at Level 60."

Lu Ran spoke in amazement, while the Dark Crow primped its feathers smugly, saying, "Caw caw, just a bit, but not much. It’s all because of the great king’s nurturing."

Lu Ran’s smile was as radiant as a chrysanthemum, and as he watched the unreserved man and beast, Manager Ying, who had been paying attention all along, sighed.

"Alright, we’re about to arrive at our destination, get ready. I’m going to call Liu Hua."

Even though the Dark Crow’s newly awakened talent wasn’t very powerful, it was still better than nothing.

Lu Ran wasn’t greedy.

However, Lu Ran always felt there was something odd about that talent, as it seemed to be designed to coerce others.

It was like those historical dramas where someone would poison another, forcing them to do something...

Of course, there was tactical value to it as well. A curse that took effect immediately was relatively easy for the enemy to guard against, but casting a curse that didn’t trigger right away could impose a layer of psychological pressure on an opponent, disrupting their thoughts in battle.

Whether it was to coerce the weak or confront an equal adversary, the talent seemed to be quite useful...

......

After flying for half a day.

Yun Bao finally arrived at the central region of the Endless Ocean Territory.

Landing on an isolated island, Lu Ran and company emerged from the Relic Space, saying, "Next, we start searching for the Evil God Creatures..."

The islands of the Endless Ocean Territory had a somewhat loose connection with the Star-Moon Federation.

Pirates roamed rampant here, far from the continent, and it was a haven for many people who had committed crimes on the continent before fleeing here.

Some Water Attribute Beast Trainers also permanently settled here because the environment was more suitable for training their Pet Beasts.

Such conditions provided the perfect habitat for the remnants of Evil God Creatures. As long as they grew without drawing too much attention or becoming too powerful to alert the government of the Star-Moon Federation, they could lead quite a comfortable existence.

The Ghost Face Moth was one such Evil God Creature.

This species was a follower of one of the Seven Sin Gods under the Evil God, the god of envy. Using the emotion of envy as sustenance, their curse could cause a being’s feelings of envy to expand without limits, resulting in the outbreak of strong negative emotions and conflicts.

The Ghost Face Moth would leave after devouring the emotions of envy, regardless of the disputes its curse had caused; that was not its concern.

Silver Island.

An ordinary looking island, a woman with an average appearance and a ferocious expression repeatedly stabbed a beautiful woman beneath her, muttering incessantly, "Why is your skin so nice?" "Why are you so beautiful?" Her attacks were vicious, and her body was covered in blood, radiating intense feelings of envy.

Soon, the Beast Trainers maintaining order on the island arrived at the scene. However, because they noticed nothing unusual and owing to the violent woman’s nonsensical ramblings, the incident was treated as a regular murder stemming from jealousy.

What these Beast Trainers didn’t know was that a moth with a strange-looking face was watching everything with a mocking expression.

To Evil God Creatures, such commonplace incidents were effortless to create whenever they desired, because the deceased were usually anonymous ordinary people, their existence hardly noticed. This was how the Evil God Creatures survived in current times.

Having devoured another figurative dessert and still far from satiated, the Ghost Face Moth planned to seek its next target.

However, as it turned to leave, a blood-red, floating eyeball scared it out of its wits.

"Ugh!!!!"

The Ghost Face Moth erupted with energy, but the gaze in the eyeball was filled with indifference.

[Found the first one...]

Following this, all four of the Ghost Face Moth’s eyes adopted the same pattern as the blood-red pupil. As if having lost its own will, it flew high into the sky, departing Silver Island and heading towards the solitary island where Lu Ran and his companions were.

"What a beast," Lu Ran remarked upon getting the update from Dark Crow about the first victory, expressing his disdain for the conduct of Evil God Creatures—manipulating the human heart and playing with the emotions of other beings, no better than the Evil Beasts from the Four Great Beast Empires that simply treated humans as food.

It’s no wonder that the Evil God race was the most troublesome and detestable enemy in the thousands of years of the Beast Training Empire’s history.

Especially since most Evil God Creatures fed on emotions and desires such as pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust. Manager Ying was right—it was essential to prepare, otherwise, Dark Crow could be consumed by them one day.

Luckily...

Lu Ran’s side possessed even more formidable beings that fed on the emotions of good and evil with a wider range of influence. Erasing the will of these Evil God Creatures was a walk in the park.

"Next." After some time, the Ghost Face Moth that had been mentally enslaved and brought to the solitary island had all its consciousness erased by the Six Paths Flower through the Beast Path, turning it into a complete puppet.

Facing the urge from the Six Paths Flower to seek the next one, Dark Crow too was hard at work searching for other Evil God Creatures... In a matter of days, the solitary island Lu Ran was on had gathered an army of over a hundred Evil God Creatures.

Although these Evil God Creatures were mostly not over level 50, sheer numbers were mounting. Once Dark Crow completely dominated this puppet army, it began to use their power to strengthen itself in search of beings with similar auras...

No doubt, the quality of these Evil God Creatures was far superior to the crows from Green Sea City, both in Growth Level and Species Level. Lu Ran and Dark Crow enjoyed the process of enslaving these puppets enormously.

However, they did not forget their main goal—to rouse the Ghost Mother who suppressed the Evil God Seal by displaying a powerful presence of Evil God Creatures.

But, the Ghost Mother was surely not so easily awakened. Therefore, Lu Ran’s group began attempts to enslave Evil God Creatures above level 60. Creatures of such a caliber could not be persuaded by a mere look from Dark Crow. It required Yun Bao to precisely deploy the Six Paths Flower, so it could personally enslave the creatures face-to-face.

Two days later, the aura of Evil God on their side had become increasingly terrifying, especially that of Dark Crow, strengthened by the powers of many Evil Gods, giving off an aura that was anything but angelic.

To amplify its aura further, Dark Crow even sacrificed some unsightly Evil God Creatures, trading their lives for powerful bursts of Evil God power.

"Hehehe, Abyss God, if you don’t make an appearance now, a new potential legend-grade Evil God Creature is about to be born... would it hurt to send a lackey over for a look? Don’t keep sleeping like a log!"
