After Using Cheats, I Became The Strongest Beast Tamer-Chapter 516 - 373: No Longer a Bootlicker_2

Chapter 516: Chapter 373: No Longer a Bootlicker_2

“Wait,” a Fen Family elder coughed and said slowly, “wait for the day when the divine awakens, when the God of Heavenly Flame returns, all will be settled.”

The other high-ranking members of the Fen Family silently nodded their agreement.

“Before the return of the God of Heavenly Flame, let us not make unnecessary moves or draw the attention of Xia Country. We are the last embers of the old era; if we too were gone, when the God of Heavenly Flame returns, he might be deceived by these cunning people of Xia Country,” another elder cautioned.

In the secret room, the current elders of the Fen Family reached a consensus.

The next day, word reached the upper echelons of Great Xia.

The Fen Family’s top ranks were purged once again, this time more thoroughly than before.

Much of the remaining family elders had perished.

Chen Xing also received the news, and he was instructed to keep a close watch on the two young Beast Tamers attending from the Fen Family.

Rubbing his brow, Chen Xing was at a loss for words. Should he tell the two young Beast Tamers, “Your second grandfather is dead? Your great-grandfather is dead?”

Though it was the truth, it still seemed rather harsh.

He also had to consider other implications, such as the other participants from the Fentian region in the competition.

During the competition, two of the contestants’ families had undergone purges. Although there were reasons behind it, it still felt somewhat odd.

Before Chen Xing could even speak, the two contestants came forward and confessed on their own initiative.

“Ascension Chen, we truly had no prior knowledge of this matter, and we harbor no other intentions,” Fen Xinhuo said with a bitter smile and a sense of helplessness.

He had started to engage deeply with the culture of Great Xia quite early, and during this process, he discovered a shocking truth—the systems and civilization of Great Xia held an unbelievable superiority.

This made him deeply realize that even if Fentian Giant City didn’t fall this time, based on the current trends, Great Xia would eventually gain the upper hand.

Their Fentian Giant City had been developing for thousands of years, yet now, it was surpassed by a nation whose Beast Taming civilization had not even developed for six hundred years.

Wasn’t this worth profound reflection by the high ranks of Fentian Giant City?

Fen Xinhuo knew that if one considered all the cities, large and small, in the Fentian region, including some scattered populations in wilderness gatherings and those active in other regions, their numbers in Fentian Giant City were actually not fewer than those in Xia Country.

Yet, even so, they were overtaken by Xia Country. This only demonstrated the unmatched superiority of Xia Country’s system.

“System,” this word was something he learned only after understanding the culture of Xia Country.

He had also often advised the family elders, hoping they would recognize this issue.

However, his voice was never taken seriously within the family. In a feudal, ancient family with a long heritage, the older members always held the greatest sway.

These elders had once suffered oppression, but when they came into power, they instinctively wanted to continue the system, transferring the oppression they had endured onto others.

This was a realization Fen Xinhuo had come to deeply understand after studying the culture of Xia Country.

In the past, although he had had such thoughts, he had been unable to articulate his insights accurately in full text.

Now, facing Ascension Chen, he truly hoped that his family and even the entire Fentian region could learn from Xia Country’s system and move towards a brighter future.

The old thinking of Fentian Giant City was too outdated and needed a thorough and invigorating change.

These family elders…

Deserved their fate if their deaths could truly draw attention from others.

Fen Xinsu, standing beside Fen Xinhuo, also nodded silently.

Initially, he had disagreed with his cousin’s overly favorable opinion of Xia Country.

There was definitely a bit of a beauty filter there!

But when he actually arrived in Xia Country, especially after experiencing various aspects of Blue Star and learning from the news and advice he searched on his phone,

Fen Xinsu began to share some of his cousin’s views.

Although it was regrettable that more of the family elders had died,

his sole wish now was to avoid causing trouble for other family members, given that his great-grandfather and others had engaged in such sensitive activities.

He hoped his actions would not implicate his parents…

As for his great-grandfather and the others… in their next lives, they should just reincarnate as ordinary Beast Tamers.

“Ascension Chen, we actually don’t quite agree with the family elders’ ideas either. We aren’t really familiar with the God of Heavenly Flame. They’ve been devoted to this intangible entity their whole lives without ever seeing him. I can’t quite grasp that,” he confessed.

Fen Xinsu forced a smile.

If only the God of Heavenly Flame had given even a single response, but from beginning to end, up to now as far as he knew, the God of Heavenly Flame had never returned a divine oracle.

The distance since the last oracle was still the same.

He had relentlessly devoted himself to worship, but from start to finish, he had received no reward, not even a response!

Wasn’t this the epitome of futile devotion?

He didn’t want to be futilely devoted anymore!

“Don’t worry, I will relay your words exactly as you said them,” Chen Xing nodded.

He didn’t have the Mind Reading Technique, so he could not discern whether these two were telling the truth or lying.

Thus, he would simply relay their words to other professionals, and as for discernment, naturally, there were specialized professionals who would further converse with them.

But at least for now, these two seemed sensible, hadn’t caused any trouble, and didn’t need him to physically “persuade” them.

“You guys go ahead and continue with the competition, don’t worry, Xia Country will definitely investigate thoroughly and won’t wrong any good person. Oh, and later tonight, someone will come to talk to you, don’t be nervous, just communicate normally,” Chen Xing said indifferently.

Hearing this, the two fell silent for a while.

They knew this matter probably wouldn’t end so simply, but with what Chen Ascension had said, they could at least set aside some of their worries.

…

Calamity Dragon Sea.

The black ocean was tumultuous, waves surging violently.

Within the raging waves, a black Behemoth appeared intermittently, its form so blurred it was unclear.

In an instant, the Behemoth burst through the giant waves, its massive body dragging a long tail, giant wings spanning the sky.

On a distant island, a rotating passage was slowly turning.

“Hmm?”

The Behemoth hesitated a moment; this island was a place it often passed by, and previously when it had arrived here, this object had not been present.

It looked like a space portal?

A flicker of interest passed through its eyes as it descended.

It wanted to dive towards the space portal, but its massive body just flashed past the surface of the portal.

“This…” The Behemoth paused for a moment, then quickly understood.

It seemed this space portal couldn’t accommodate beings too powerful, only allowing relatively weaker beings to pass through.

Instantly, its interest in the space portal dropped more than half.

Because generally, only very weak small worlds have this kind of situation occurring.

This was also a self-defense mechanism born from the needs of weak worlds to protect their natives.

It shook its head, losing interest.

Just as it was about to spread its wings and fly away, suddenly, it caught something in the corner of its eye on the island.

Humans?

A thought occurred, and the Behemoth flew toward the humans.

At the edge of the island’s shoreline, among the crevices of the reefs, a mimicking octopus nestled among the rocks, its back color almost identical to the surrounding rocks, and beneath its belly, a blonde Beast Tamer was hiding under the octopus.

He suddenly sensed the fearful emotion of his tamed beast, and before he could react, the octopus above him was lifted away.

The surging waters rushed through the crevices of the rocks.

The tidal waves surged relentlessly,

The sky overhead was covered with clouds that seemed never to disperse, mirroring the true emotions in his heart.

It was over!

He slowly lifted his head and saw directly above him, a pitch-black, fearsome dragon eyeing him with interest.
