Animal-eared Girl Era: Start by Forming a Contract with an SSS-Class School Belle

Xiao Ye was a little surprised.

The nine Elf Elders had no objections, which was the result of their meeting and discussion.

They were not afraid of Xiao Ye; they were afraid of the supreme being behind Xiao Ye.

At that time, all elves had been restrained, their bodies completely motionless, and even their spiritual power could not be released, but their minds had still remained clear and their eyes could still see what was going on outside.

They knew that this human boy, Xiao Ye, had a profound relationship with that human supreme being.

The Elf King took out a storage ring and said,

"Every month, our Elf Race will offer up a ton of essence and ten tons of crystal stones, which is nearly one-third of our monthly production. I hope you won't find this too little, young friend."

"May I ask for your esteemed surname, young friend?"

"My surname is Xiao, I'm Xiao Ye!" Since it was so easy to get crystal stones and essence, Xiao Ye simply accepted the storage ring, "I agree to your terms."

The Elf King exclaimed with great delight, "Good, since that's the case, from now on you are the Honorary Elder of our Elf Race, Elder Xiao."

He gave a signal, and the nine peak Great Venerable Realm Elf Elders all formally addressed him,

"Elder Xiao!" "Elder Xiao!" "Elder Xiao!" "Greetings, Elder Xiao!"

Xiao Ye nodded and responded to each in turn.

Now that matters were settled, Xiao Ye prepared to leave, but the Elf King called him back.

He looked a little embarrassed and said,

"Um, Elder Xiao, could you leave the storage ring? Our Elf Race can't make this kind of human tool, and we're running short."

Xiao Ye was surprised, so he transferred the contents out and tossed the storage ring to the Elf King.

"Here!"

This storage ring had a hundred-cubic-meter space, but its length, width, and height were only a bit over three meters—pitifully small.

Xiao Ye and Liu Ya then entered the Heart of the Secret Realm and arrived beside the great grassland, looking out over the endless plain as they got ready to upgrade the template right there.

Nine Divine Sense imprints floated at the edge of the grassland. These were the Divine Sense marks of the nine top clan leaders within the Holy Spirit Secret Realm.

The center of the grassland.

Xiao Ye and Liu Ya mobilized Contractual Power, activated the SSS-grade Spirit Illusion Cat template, and began summoning their contracted beast.

Dreamlike rosy light diffused out, and an agile figure descended from the heavens.

The Spirit Illusion Cat at Great Venerable Realm One-Star made its appearance.

Its attribute was Phantom Spirit Type; its body was a gradually silvery giant cat with nimble, athletic limbs and a pair of eyes that could pierce through darkness.

The creature was enormous, a hundred meters tall and four hundred meters long.

Within their minds, Xiao Ye and Liu Ya existed as consciousness bodies.

Xiao Ye could feel the unprecedented strength within the Spirit Illusion Cat, the kind of power that belonged to the Great Venerable Realm.

*Liu Ya, after so long, finally maneuvered the Spirit Illusion Cat to roll several times over the grassland, flattening a large swath of grass.*

"Uh, my spiritual power seems to get used up fast. The summoning can only last an hour or two," Xiao Ye said, a little dumbfounded.

Liu Ya thought for a second before replying, "Maybe your human form's realm is too low; you're only at Venerable One-Star, which is vastly below Great Venerable One-Star."

*Xiao Ye felt that this was very likely.*

Next, Xiao Ye took out fifty Creation-type, fifty Thunder Attribute, and fifty Phantom Spirit type Fragment Crystals.

Then, he started up the template adjuster's upgrade function.

[SSS-grade Spirit Illusion Cat Template] (Upgradeable) [Mythical Level Ancestor Cat Template]

Upgrade clicked! Confirmed upgrade. This chapter's true source is My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|LEMP-YR).

An enormous, mysterious surge of Order Origin Power was born from thin air, descending from the sky and enveloping the Spirit Illusion Cat and the Fragment Crystals.

In a flash, the Thunder Attribute Fragment Crystals erupted with a rich Thunder Rule Power. Thunder crashed and lightning flashed all around, like a Million Volts had struck.

The Phantom Spirit-type Fragment Crystals burst with an aura that was both real and illusory, sometimes true, sometimes false, the blend of both flooding the entire grassland.

The Creation-type Fragment Crystals radiated a supremely profound aura, crawling atop the grassland.

Just like that, the grassland was periodically hit by hundreds of jet-black bolts of lightning, the smell of charring drifting through the air. At times everything turned transparent, unreal, like something out of a fairy tale—*it all felt completely surreal.*

Next, all three types of Rule Fragment Crystals entered into the body of the Spirit Illusion Cat.

The three kinds of traits also appeared along the Spirit Illusion Cat's form.

Reality, Illusion, Lightning!

Oh!! *Liu Ya felt herself numbed by the electricity.*

She had always been a Spirit Illusion Cat, so she was familiar with the Phantom Spirit attribute, but Thunder was something else entirely.

It was her first time being shocked by electricity.

Xiao Ye said, "If you can't hold back, just scream."

Liu Ya really wanted to roll her eyes, "You're the one who should scream."

At this moment, the Order Origin Power shrouding the Spirit Illusion Cat started to take effect, guiding the rule power from the three types of fragment crystals to meld throughout the cat's entire body, then gathering in the depths of its genes, feeding back into the template in the unseen ether.

*Xiao Ye and Liu Ya fell into a state of epiphany.*

True or false, real or illusory, switching between reality and illusion!

Million Volts, Fury, Instant Thousand Miles!

A deeply ancient, mysterious aura also appeared on the Spirit Illusion Cat's body.

This mysterious aura seemed to resonate with the Phantom Spirit Bloodline inside the Spirit Illusion Cat, becoming ever more ancient, ever more timeworn.

In the Elven King's palace ten thousand meters below ground, the Elf King and Elf Elders all shuddered, feeling their blood boil within them. The Elf Elders looked at one another in shock, saying,

"Ah—this is bloodline resonance!"

"How rare, it's like a conception explosion—vibrating, resonating, then boom?"

"Damn it, who is making a move!"

"Are they trying to blow us up?"

"Demon Beast bomb?"

The Elf King raised a hand, gesturing for everyone to stay calm. With more composure, he said, "Don't panic."

"I think I may know the reason."

The Elf Elders looked at him, asking what the reason was.

The Elf King said, "There is a record in the Elven King's inheritance, 'The Ancestor of the Phantom Spirit possesses the ability to control the Phantom Spirit Race and can easily determine the life and death of Phantom Spirit clans!'"

"It's similar to our innate ability to command a conception crystal stone explosion. The Phantom Spirit Ancestor's methods are even more advanced and mysterious, capable of controlling the bloodlines of the Phantom Spirit clans!"

The Elf Elders were stunned, "The Phantom Spirit Ancestor!!!"

The word 'Ancestor' alone sounded incredibly ancient.

No wonder; their ages were only a few hundred, maybe a thousand years. None of them had ever seen the Phantom Spirit Ancestor or even heard of it—this was the first time they had heard it from the Elf King's mouth.

The Elf King frowned, "It's written in the inheritance: 'The Phantom Spirit Ancestor long ago transcended the universe, controlling the very origin of the Phantom Spirit universe. Even commanding tens of millions of Phantom Spirit clans, he no longer meddled in worldly affairs. So why is our bloodline now resonating and trembling?'"

"Could it be that he has descended upon Blue Star?"

His words caused the Elf Elders' faces to change dramatically.

A being of that level, descending upon Blue Star!

*No one knew whether this was good or bad!*

Suddenly, wave after wave of ever more ancient aura seeped through space from afar, causing the Elf King and Elders to tense up, expressions grave.

The Elf King sensed something, hesitating as he said, "I think I can sense the source of this aura. Should we go take a look?"

Take a look?

The Elf Elders were startled.

As the sensation grew even stronger, the Elf King made up his mind, "Let's go, all together. We must pay our respects to the Phantom Spirit Ancestor!"

The Elf Elders' expressions grew resolute, "Fine, let's do it. For a figure out of legend like this, we'd like to see for ourselves."
