Because it was his second time entering, Qian Er easily made his way into Senior Xiaoyue's branch.
As soon as he entered, he felt a wave of weakness wash over him.
Senior Xiaoyue's aura was already affecting this world.
"You've come."
The familiar, cold AI female voice entered Qian Er's ears.
"Yes, how is Senior?"
Qian Er didn't have a specific goal, so he just walked forward, knowing that no matter how he walked here, he would eventually reach Senior Xiaoyue.
"Not good. Its poison has indeed touched a higher level. If it weren't me who was poisoned, but someone else, they would have died on the spot."
As Qian Er advanced, the dim and lackluster Senior Xiaoyue also appeared before him.
At this time, Senior Xiaoyue looked even more haggard than last time. The ground was covered with fallen metal leaves, and even a lot of the bark on its body had fallen off.
"The poison of a demigod, ah. Those remnants are indeed geniuses, actually thinking of such a thing. It's just a pity, harming others and harming themselves."
"Senior, please bear with it, I'm here to save you."
Qian Er sighed. After saying that, the Blood-Burning Saint walked forward and pressed the demigod opportunity, which was still constantly moving in his palm, onto the tree trunk.
Instantly, a beam of light, starting from the contact between the Blood-Burning Saint and the tree trunk, began to spread rapidly to the surroundings.
Senior Xiaoyue couldn't speak, only the tree trunk suddenly trembled twice, and the leaves that were originally hanging on the branches, half-falling, were shaken off onto the ground.
After a good while, Senior Xiaoyue's voice, suppressing her excitement, finally sounded.
"You should move away first."
Qian Er nodded and retreated more than three hundred zhang with the Blood-Burning Saint.
"Further away!"
Senior Xiaoyue's voice echoed in Qian Er's mind.
Qian Er retreated again with the Blood-Burning Saint for about a thousand zhang before stopping.
At this time, the earth trembled, the ground shattered, and wisps of silver-white light wandered in the cracks of the earth and reappeared in the world.
As a dimensional creature, Senior Xiaoyue at this moment pulled out all the roots that were deeply rooted in the dimension, completely cutting off all her escape routes.
As the tree trunk swayed, the withered bark on Senior Xiaoyue's body fell off, revealing the new skin inside that exuded a dazzling divine light.
The brand-new branches squeezed out of the old, withered branches, and along with them, a large pool of black mucus exuding a strong ominous aura, which was the poison of the Insect Lord.
The newly grown bark on Senior Xiaoyue's body was no longer cracked like before, but smooth, indicating that Senior Xiaoyue was indeed frightened by the Insect Lord's lurking and sneak attacks.
This transformation lasted for seven days. Qian Er didn't leave during these seven days, just waiting here. Fortunately, because of the hoarding habits he had developed in the apocalypse, Qian Er's spatial backpack was always stocked with various foods and things to relieve boredom. The seven days passed in a flash. The silver-white sky returned to normal, and this dead Beast Taming space swept away its previous decline and regained its vitality.
Senior Xiaoyue, whose whole body was wrapped in silver-white light, gradually dissipated the light, revealing Senior Xiaoyue below, who was not much different from before, but with a radiant divine light.
At this time, Senior Xiaoyue's roots once again plunged into the boundless void.
"The feeling of being alive again is really good."
It gently swayed its branches, and a hint of comfort was revealed in the cold AI female voice.
After saying that, it turned to Qian Er and said solemnly.
"This time, it's all thanks to you. I..."
But before she could finish speaking, Qian Er waved his hand to interrupt.
"What are you saying, Senior? Wasn't it thanks to Senior's protection along the way that I was able to get to where I am now when I was weak?"
Senior Xiaoyue was momentarily speechless, and the mental power filling the surroundings clearly revealed a happy emotion.
"Alright, let's not talk about idle matters. Senior, have you now advanced to become a demigod?"
Qian Er stared at Senior Xiaoyue and asked.
"Yes, I have broken through that shackle, ignited the divine fire, and advanced to become a demigod!"
As she spoke, a layer of abstract "fire" burned on Senior Xiaoyue's body.
Although it was called fire, its actual manifestation was not like fire, but a layer of silver-white, star ring-like substance surrounding Senior Xiaoyue's body.
It didn't look like fire at all, but Qian Er subconsciously thought that this was fire, just expressed in a different direction.
"This is the foundation of my enlightenment. I ignited everything I have, raised this little spark. As the spark continues to grow, I will go further and further on the path of demigod and divine beast. When the star ring completely becomes a real substance, then I will also become a true god!"
The excitement of seeing the road ahead made Senior Xiaoyue talk more. Only existences at their level could understand the confusion and pain of the unknown road ahead, where everything could only be explored, and they didn't even know whether what they were doing was the right path.
"This..."
Qian Er looked at the illusory star ring surrounding Senior Xiaoyue, his expression a little strange.
Although the form of expression was different, the aura was the same. He could see very clearly that this was clearly the prototype of a divine duty. The reason it was called a prototype was because it was too weak. The current Senior Xiaoyue hadn't even found out what path she should take.
"Senior, you should know that my Myriad Transformation Demon has advanced to become a divine beast, right?"
After thinking for a moment, Qian Er asked.
"I've heard something about it. I never thought that those little guys would have such great courage, using a mixed-blood Myriad Transformation Demon as the foundation, integrating the genes of all races, and reverse-engineering an ancestor of all races. What's even more outrageous is that they actually succeeded."
Senior Xiaoyue's tone revealed amazement. She had never thought that such a crazy plan would actually succeed.
"It's good that you know. It's like this, Senior, the Myriad Transformation Demon is not quite the same as you. Because it is the first divine beast in the Beast Taming world, its path was determined from the beginning. It is the key to opening everything, the foundation of everything, and everything will be smooth in the future."
Qian Er used as euphemistic a tone as possible to tell Senior Xiaoyue.
And Senior Xiaoyue was, after all, a senior who had lived for thousands of years. The people and things she had seen could be described as massive. With just one sentence, she guessed what Qian Er was saying.
"Path? The path to becoming a god? Is this path to be chosen by oneself? So that's how it is... Then, wouldn't it be more disadvantageous to become a god later on?!"
Senior Xiaoyue understood immediately and deduced other things.
The Myriad Transformation Demon was the first divine beast in the Beast Taming world, so its path didn't need to be chosen. It was there. It was like God feeding it to its mouth. And she was the first existence to advance to become a demigod, but she didn't form a divine duty like the Myriad Transformation Demon. Doesn't this mean that the path from demigod to true god is the path of constantly improving the divine duty?
And the paths to becoming a god are all unique. If someone occupies this path, then this path can no longer be taken. For example, the Myriad Transformation Demon is the beginning of all things and the ancestor of all paths, then there will be no second beginning of all things and ancestor of all paths in the Beast Taming world.
But the paths in the world are limited. Those who become gods first can naturally choose freely, even comparing prices and picking and choosing, but later people will not be so easy.
When all the paths to becoming a god in the world are occupied, if later people want to ascend to godhood, then they have to make the gods who originally occupied that path give up their positions, but this is obviously impossible, so they can only fight.
