Pet Simulator

Supreme pets represented a country's strongest combat power.

Currently, Dongli was struggling forward while being shrouded in the dark fog. Yet, the country did not even have a supreme pet, let alone a divine beast totem.

To put it bluntly, no one knew how long Dongli could last.

Perhaps, in a few decades, a wave of the dark fog would erupt and the country would disappear.

Or perhaps, it would be annexed by other countries. This was not impossible.

Among the current six countries, the five other countries other than Dongli had annexed many countries that had been destroyed in the dark fog.

"That's right. The plan was very secretive," Ji Wuming nodded, "But at that time, the Dawn Bureau, the second person in charge, agreed. They also gave us unlimited funds to nurture the material."

"I've read countless books about that material. At that time, I discussed it with many professors who studied pet evolution in the country, as well as a few deity-rank beastmasters. I learned that it's called the rainbow celestial lotus and grows in secret realms, to begin with. I also learned that the conditions for it to grow were extremely harsh."

"However, the flower could grow into a supreme-grade material. As long as one has it, one will have the possibility to nurture a supreme pet," Ji Wuming's voice was deep, "The rock dragon emperor's blood essence is one of its growth materials. This cultivation method is quite cruel since we need its blood essence. Over the years, to preserve its life, we've fed it many precious materials. At the same time, we've also arranged for many beastmasters to fight it to maintain its vitality. Therefore, its strength is still slowly increasing."

"According to the plan, the rainbow celestial lotus should mature in three to five years at most. In twenty years, the country will be able to nurture its first supreme pet! As for the rock dragon emperor, it has been corroded by the dark fog, and its memory is fuzzy. Just maintaining its life has cost us a lot of resources. By then, it might be able to become the companion pet of the rainbow celestial lotus, recover its original strength, or die from the dark fog corrosion in its body."

Ji Wuming looked at Wang Ye, "I don't know how much you know. You might know quite a bit and perhaps you think it's cruel. But I'm sorry. Only cruelty can give Dongli a future now."

"At that time, I hid the matter regarding the rock dragon emperor to gain agreement in carrying out the plan. Otherwise, Dawn Bureau might not have agreed. I didn't do it in secret because this plan would consume too many resources. It would arouse suspicions, and sooner or later, the Dawn Bureau would've investigated and discovered it."

Chen He and Xia Wange were silent.

The secrecy level of this plan should be very high.

They had only heard that the Qixing Investigation Corps had such a plan, but they didn't know the details.

"So, you are using Xiao Huang as nourishment?" Xiao Tao understood. Its voice was full of anger, and the blade of the sword had begun to tremble as Ji Wuming said each word.

"You can put it that way," Ji Wuming closed his eyes, "The dark fog corroded your companions back then, and they wouldn't live long anyway."

Xiao Tao trembled, but it didn't move. Only the blade of the sword flickered.

Wang Ye was silent as he looked at Ji Wuming.

What Ji Wuming said wasn't much different from what he had learned from the rock dragon emperor's simulation and what the beast itself knew.

As Xiao Tao's companion, other than the rock dragon emperor, or even the Dark Tree of Heaven... All of them had met with different consequences during that great battle.

Xiao Tao was the strongest. Being an innate sword spirit, it was too powerful and difficult to kill.

The Dark Tree of Heaven had disappeared along with the divine pond and that city. It had a strong life force, and with the divine pond, it barely survived.

The rock dragon emperor was obviously not that lucky.

"You'll be sent to the Court of Pets since you have used a pet to do such a thing," Chen He said, "Commander Ji, did you know the consequences of doing this?"

As he said this, Chen He looked at the divine sword Xiao Tao, "It was sealed because it had killed too many humans. If it wasn't sealed, more would have died. The rock dragon emperor did nothing like this. Even if it was eroded by the dark fog, it was still a pet."

"So what?" Ji Wuming said indifferently, "Since I've told you everything, I don't care. The road ahead is uncertain. Someone will need to break the most difficult shackle, even if the shackle will be on him in the end. As for whether it was right or wrong, I'll leave it for future generations to comment on."

"You don't regret it?" Xia Wange's eyes flashed.

"I've done a lot of things that I regret," Ji Wuming shook his head, "But if I had to choose again, I would still do it. I'm saying this because I want him to know. I understand that he will only tell me about Chiyu if I let him know."

"It's dead," Wang Ye glanced at him and said, "It left peacefully. Before it died, it wanted to take revenge on you."

Ji Wuming was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing?" Wang Ye asked.

"It's good that it's dead," Ji Wuming smiled, "I won't have to suffer too much pain if it's dead. I was afraid that it wasn't dead and came to take revenge on me. How painful would that be?"

After saying that, Ji Wuming turned around and walked toward Chen He and Xia Wange.

Wang Ye was slightly taken aback. He thought for a few seconds and finally understood that Ji Wuming wasn't referring to Chiyu, but himself.

He didn't know, didn't understand, and couldn't comprehend what kind of subtle feelings this beastmaster still had for the Chiyu over the past hundred years
