The Chronicles of the Immortal God

“But in order for me to emulate an essence, I must be able to see the beast I must emulate.” Fang Lin gave the old man a doubtful look as he asked him,

“Master, do you even have any beasts with you right now?”

“Hmph, what do you even think of me?” The old man proudly raised his head. “I am an intellectual researcher! I always bring all the experimental objects I have with me! And some of those of course include rare and powerful beasts!”

“But you are dead now, and from what I heard, you are already dead a very, very, very, very long time ago. Even if you have any beasts with you, do you think they will still be alive right now?” Fang Lin asked him doubtfully.

“I store all my properties in my inner world, which fortunately was fused with my soul. There, I always keep my living subjects in cryostasis. That meant I always keep them frozen. I will only unfreeze them when I need to. Since I had been asleep all this time, I was not able to do anything to them. Does that answer satisfy you now?” The old man said while scratching his leg absent-mindedly. “Do you have any more questions?”

“Are there Divine Bloodline Beasts in there?” Fang Lin asked with shining eyes. After creating some Essence Cores, Fang Lin realized that the best beasts to emulate were the Divine Bloodline Beasts. They have powers greater than normal beasts. As for Godly Divine Beasts, Fang Lin realized that it will be too much even for him to emulate them, since they were extremely rare.

Aside from the rarity, their powers were off the charts, making it extremely hard for Fang Lin to emulate them. Fang Lin already knew 4 Godly Divine Beasts, and the strength needed for him to emulate them was also high. The only reason he was to emulate his own Godly Divine Beast Bloodline was because it was already his.

“I am already a Godly Divine Beast, so emulating another Godly Divine Beast Bloodline will be extremely hard even for me. The best I can use will be Divine Beasts!” Fang Lin then swore to himself that the last 9 forms of the Twelve Essences Martial Arts will be emulated with only Divine Beasts!

“Hmm… let me check.” The old man tilted his head as he observed his inner world. “Okay, I have here 1,532 Divine Beasts and 1 Godly Divine Beast, all in cryostasis.”

“Hiss…” Fang Lin shivered, clearly astounded by that number!

1,532 Divine Beast, and there’s also 1 Godly Divine Beast in there? That’s way too much!

The old man seemed to have noticed the weird look on Fang Lin’s face. “Hey, if you are a strong practitioner who roamed countless planets, it will be pretty normal for you to see many Divine Beasts. That’s the reason I got this many. As for the Godly Divine Beast I have here, it was just a newborn. I decided to keep it for myself and use it as a pet.”

“Unfortunately, that action of mine brought countless practitioners chasing after me that lead to my death. Because of that, I was not able to observe this newborn Godly Divine Beast until today.”

Fang Lin’s eyes shone as he thought of the possibilities.

“Just like what I thought earlier, Godly Divine Beasts will be hard for me to emulate right now. But old man said that this Godly Divine Beast was a newborn! Maybe I can still push this through…” Fang Lin then clenched his fists as he decided,

“Fine! I will use one form for this Godly Divine Beast newborn while the last 8 forms will be emulated from the 1,532 Divine Beasts! With that amount of Divine Beasts, I am sure I can emulate those 8 forms!”

“Old man, what kind of Godly Divine Beast do you have there?” Fang Lin asked with bated breath. If that beast was related to pig, dog or monkey, Fang Lin will be highly disappointed.

“It’s the Rainbow Dragon.” The old man said calmly. He then started cackling as he said ominously, “The Rainbow Dragon unleashes the power of the beautiful rainbow to unleash chaos upon the Universe!”

“……” From the old man’s words, Fang Lin could only imagine a cute dragon followed by a big, colorful rainbow. Sure, the image might look very pretty, but it sounded so lame.

“Rainbow? What the hell? Is that even powerful?” Fang Lin’s mind instinctively resisted the notion of such corny-sounding beast to be a fearful one. “What will it do? Shower me with some rainbow glitter to dissolve me to death?”

“Yeah it can do that to you.” The old man said with a straight face. “It can also swallow you up with the power of rainbow sparkle…”

“Stop joking! I am serious here!” Fang Lin said with his eyes starting to turn bloodshot. “My future depends on my choice right now, and I want to be sure that this Rainbow Dragon is a good choice!”

“It is a good choice.” The old man said solemnly. “I swear to you that you will not regret choosing the Rainbow Dragon as your Dragon Form.”

After a few minutes of deep thinking, Fang Lin realized that he could not resist the temptation of emulating a Godly Divine Beast, even though the said Godly Divine Beast sounds lame.

“Fine, let me emulate this newborn Rainbow Dragon first, then I will emulate the other beasts later… wait, that might last me more than 3 months! I cannot stay that long here! I still have other things to do!” Because of the spurt of his excitement, Fang Lin almost forgot what he was supposed to do outside the tablet.

“Ah, do not worry about that. The time flow inside this tablet was different compared to the outside world. I assure you that you can spend your time in here emulating all those beasts. Once you go outside, not much time will pass by.”

Fang Lin sighed in relief after hearing this explanation of the old man. “Wait, speaking of going outside, can you go outside old man?”

“Unfortunately I can’t.” The old man said with a sad smile on his face. “Because of what happened to me before, my soul was now connected with this space in the tablet. I have no way to leave this space anymore. Only other people besides me can enter and leave this tablet. And that includes you.”

“How about your objects? Like your treasures or these beasts of yours?” Fang Lin asked with excitement. “If you can bring these beasts out, I can be a force to be reckoned with!”

“Well too bad for you, everything I own when I fused my soul with the tablet cannot leave this space too.” The old man replied with a sneer, seeing Fang Lin’s expectant face. “All my treasures, artifacts and these beasts cannot be brought outside. Only the knowledge that I will teach you can be brought by you outside.”

“….” Fang Lin suppressed his disappointment upon realizing that he cannot bring all those powerful beasts with him. From the looks of it, he can only really ask for this old man’s teachings as his help to him.

“Fine. Let’s start this now old man.”

The old man gave Fang Lin a nod as he waved his hands. A flash of light passed by, and a block of ice appeared, appearing in front of Fang Lin.

Upon seeing the block of ice, Fang Lin’s eyes widened as he slowly said,

“This is the Rainbow Dragon?”

……..

While Fang Lin was about to start his power-up experience, Wang Hao and Genie met up with the four Djinns he was about to ‘talk’ to.

Before Wang Hao was able to see their silhouettes, he heard a voice that made him stop on his tracks.

“So, one of the Forsaken Ones actually appeared here. This is wonderful! Master Solomon will surely be pleased about this!”

Wang Hao narrowed his eyes as he thought to himself,

“Am I the one he was talking about? Forsaken Ones? Why do I know nothing about them, even just factual information? Tch!” Wang Hao then gritted his teeth as he made his decision. “I must fish this guy for more info!”
