Beast Taming Patrol

Blue Star.

In an empty laboratory at the Evolution Institute of Mountain City University.

Lin Su quietly watched the sealed space before him, separated by glass. Inside, a finely structured mechanical arm crafted from supernatural resources was quickly engraving something onto a palm-sized metal plate hung in mid-air.

Moments later, the mechanical arm slowly separated from the metal plate, and the complex patterns, resembling a starry sky, lit up with dazzling light and immense energy.

"Nuwa, thank you for your efforts." Lin Su looked at the metal plate, which met all his expectations, with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation in his eyes.

"Such precise engraving can be easily handled with my computing power, and as an A.I., I only consume energy, without the fatigue experienced by humans." Nuwa's ethereal figure was projected beside Lin Su, her voice emotionally neutral.

"I suppose that's true." Lin Su chuckled, then pushed open the sealed chamber door and strode into the enclosed space. "Let's test its effects now."

In Shenwu World, by the time Lin Su and Lu Ziye reached Holy Light City, it was already dark.

The Luck Blessing Pool was scheduled to open tomorrow, so Lin Su settled down in an ancient house and returned to Blue Star.

Over four months had passed in Shenwu, and the same amount of time had elapsed in Blue Star.

During these four months, Qin Yunzhang had made significant progress in time system research.

He and Du Lan had gleaned insights into the teaching skills for the time system.

Although they hadn't completely finished, the remaining research didn't require Qiuqiu's involvement.

Thus, the two old men left Lin Su behind and excitedly buried themselves in their research.

Lin Su also enjoyed the quiet, using the downtime to organize the many secret techniques and teaching skills given to him by Immortal Phoenix Sect.

Later, a new earth-grade secret realm appeared in District 11, jointly developed by the Summoner Association of District 11 and Mountain City University, requiring a Special Level Researcher to oversee it.

Du Lan, the director of Mountain City University's research institute, was still engrossed in time system research, so he straightforwardly appointed Lin Su as deputy director and sent him back to fill the position.

Although Lin Su wanted to continue benefiting from meditation in the Time Zero Secret Realm, he had no choice but to obediently return to District 11 at the boss's behest.

The earth-grade secret realm in District 11 was of the wood element.

Although its attribute didn't provide any extra boost to Lin Su's pet beast, because it was wood-based, the realm was a lush forest with an excellent environment and good effects for meditation.

Qiuqiu was refining skills, and the Time Zero Secret Realm only benefited Youyou, whose standard energy value had already reached its limit.

So although meditation was slower, Lin Su quickly appreciated the benefits after returning to District 11.

After all, his home and research laboratory were there.

Staying in District 11 was much more comfortable than living in a hotel every day.

Over the past four months, the appearance of new secret realms had become increasingly frequent.

Almost every day, new secret realms were born somewhere on Blue Star.

The Yanhuang Alliance initially cherished each secret realm, but as they proliferated, their control strategies also gradually changed.

Now, only earth-grade secret realms and Source Secret Realms were managed by the Summoner Association.

For the former, personnel could enter and leave following a series of qualification reviews, while for the latter, professional staff collected the Space Heart, which was then distributed externally through Summoner Association channels.

Meanwhile, the profound-grade and yellow-grade secret realms were now completely open to the general public.

Anyone could enter a profound-grade secret realm by paying enough contribution points, and yellow-grade secret realms could be accessed by paying alliance coins.

Although the price was considerable, the threshold had been set quite low.

Similar policies were not only implemented in the Yanhuang Alliance but also in the other three safety alliances.

Previously, large-scale exchanges were rare due to the high costs and certain risks involved.

But now, exchanges for secret realms and resources had become more frequent, driving interactions and collaborations among the Four Safety Alliances.

This resource exchange naturally enhanced the communication and relationship among the Four Safety Alliances, making them increasingly close-knit.

On the human side, many visible changes had occurred.

These changes were all brought about by the secret realms.

In response to the myriad changes in the human world, Immortal Country, which always opposed humanity, remained unusually quiet.

This silence was due to new turbulence created by the continuous emergence of secret realms within Immortal Country as well.

The appearance of secret realms was chaotic and random.

If they could appear in the human world, they could naturally appear in the territory of Immortal Country.

However, unlike humans, the beasts couldn't relocate secret realm entrances and could only station powerful guards at each entrance.

With the increasing number of secret realm entrances, a lot of their energy was diverted.

Thus, the three Immortal rulers were momentarily distracted from dealing with humans.

Except for the routine dispatching of beast tides to continuously drain human resources, they hadn't taken any other actions.

Even the alliance between the Water Country and humans received no open response from the three rulers, as if they were completely unaware.

This considerably reduced the pressure on the human front lines.

With external threats temporarily diminished, and new secret realms constantly emerging, humanity enjoyed a rare period of respite.

Every day on social media, numerous discussions about secret realms took place, with Beast Tamers showing off their visits and marking their presence in various secret realms—an emerging trend.
