Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu was actually quite interested after hearing their words. Now that he thought of it, he was rather uninformed about the beast community of this world and barely had how it worked. While he had some knowledge from the books he had read, it was still rather incomplete and would not compare to actual first hand information from beasts.

"Oh? So you want to be my servants, huh?" Lin Wu said, not giving them a straight answer.

While he was not afraid of them attacking him, he still needed to be wary of the other beasts. If they were able to gather a large enough group, he was sure that he would be heavily injured if not dead. Besides, now that he knew that there was another beast with the powers of the meteor, Lin Wu needed to be careful.

While he was looking to obtain the other fragments of the meteor, who knew of the other beasts wanted to do the same and whether they would be able to sense him. From what he knew, there was a certain kind of connection between his bloodline that he gained from the green crystal and the other crystals.

He was able to gain a faint sensation of where they were if they were close enough and wondered if it was the same for others that obtained that Crystal from the meteor.

"Yes, Lord Serpent! A great beast like you needs servants and we would be honored to serve that role." The mole beast said.

"Lord serpent's bloodline quite powerful too, and is no less than that of the five rulers of the forest, I can't help but think that you may replace one of them and become the new ruler." The beetle beast flattered.

"I see…" Lin Wu replied but didn't take his eyes off them.

The two beasts thought that Lin Wu was still assessing them and thus did not dare to move from their positions. But in reality, Lin Wu was talking with the system. He knew that beasts could control other beasts that were lower than them, but the problem was how.

He had seen some books that dealt with beast taming as well, but that was for human cultivators and now other beasts.

"Well system, what can you do about this? Can I make them my servants?" Lin Wu questioned the system.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: According to the systems data banks, other beasts control the weaker beasts by relying on their bloodline suppression. The Deep Earth Millennium Mole and the Split thorn horn beetle have lower grade bloodlines than that of the host and thus can be directly suppressed.

The host merely needs to use his spirit sense to create a brand on their beast cores. This method is similar to that of how the human cultivator's tame beasts, yet in this one, the host will use his bloodline aura as the imprint.

——

"So it is similar. But still, if I can suppress and control them using my bloodline, won't the other stronger beasts be able to reverse the process as well?" Lin Wu questioned further.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The system can add additional seals that can prevent this. If the other beasts try to reverse the imprint, the seal can either kill the servant beast or if it is strong enough even oppose the beast that is trying to reverse the imprint on the servant beast.

——

'Hmm… this is much better. Kinda similar to what we did with Shirong I guess.' Lin Wu thought.

"Alright, I'll take you two as my servants." Lin Wu declared after deliberating on it a bit more.

"Thank you, Lord Serpent for sparing our measly lives." The mole beast said with tears in his eyes.

"We will do our best to serve you, Lord Serpent!" The beetle beast added, not wanting to lag behind.

Even if the mole beast and she had become the servants of Lin Wu, she still wanted to be the higher one in the hierarchy of the servants.

Lin Wu nodded his head after seeing their willingness and began to prepare. He looked through the steps that the system showed him and memorized them. They had been modified as the system was going to add a seal as well.

Lin Wu was rather interested in this new method that the system had added and the modification felt cool to him.

"Alright you two, which one of you wants to go first?" Lin Wu questioned.

"ME!ME!ME!" The mole beast shouted.

"NO! Take me, lord serpent!" The beetle beast replied.

The two beasts broke out in an argument, and Lin Wu was enjoying seeing it. It was as if he was in his previous world watching a slapstick comedy skit. From the behaviors of the beasts he understood that while their intelligence was at almost the same level as humans, their personality was not.

It was evident that while they had great potential, their mind was still like that of a child. Seeing that the two beasts were about to break out in a fight, Lin Wu decided to intervene.

"ALRIGHT STOP!" Lin Wu ordered.

The two beats froze in their place again in an almost comical manner and fell to the ground due to their aw awkward postures that they were in. The two of them were in an attacking position when they were stopped, thus they lost their balance.

The beetle beast flipped to his side, ending up on its back like an upturned turtle, while the mole beast rolled for a few meters before stopping his momentum.

'Seems like having these two beasts as servants wouldn't be as boring at least.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"Okay, we will do a coin flip and then the one who wins it will be the first eon to become my servant." Lin Wu declared.

"That is fine with me, my lord. But what is a 'coin flip'?" The mole beast asked while tilting its head.

The beetle beat had a similar expression and seemed to be confused as well.
