Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 690: Chapter 685: Building the Divine Dragon…Ah no, the Dragon God Church!

Upon hearing Xiao Mu’s suggestion, Bai Heguang nodded slightly, saying, “I will stay here for now to see if there are other bases of the Death Round Table in the sea region.”

“Mmhmm, then I will urgently implement the Deep Sea Alliance’s transformation of the West Sea, striving to expand our intelligence network.”

Xiao Mu glanced at Bai Qi and said, “Bai Qi, you also need to hurry with the matter of the Death Virus. Although the source has been destroyed, even just the current circulating Dead Beasts are very troublesome.”

“Moreover, I always feel that the Death Round Table wouldn’t have just this one base.”

From the feedback in the West Sea, the tribes and the Death Round Table still had contact with the North Sea and the Eastern Sea, and these two places basically didn’t communicate with the South Sea, so they had every reason to suspect that similar bases also existed there.

“Okay, I will hurry with the research.”

Bai Qi nodded, now that they had both the Dead Beasts and the original serum of the Death Virus, the difficulty of the research significantly reduced.

“Well then, this is it for now.”

Xiao Mu stood up, suddenly remembered something and said, “Also, Bai Qi, you better manage Ba Jieji. Their current state is not exactly… normal.”

“Ba Jieji? Did Epsilon accidentally trigger the prohibitions?”

Bai Qi raised his eyebrow and said.

“No, the prohibition was not triggered. We have obtained a lot of useful information from them. It’s just… never mind, you should go see it yourself.”

Xiao Mu smiled cryptically and pointed in the direction of the interrogation room.

“Okay then, teacher, I’ll go and check.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi has not wasted any more words. After saying goodbye to Bai Heguang, he rushed toward the interrogation room. From afar, he could hear the voices of Ba Jieji, all chanting something together.

“They’re still alive, the prohibition wasn’t triggered.”

Bai Qi sighed in relief, immediately pushed the door open, only to find that Ba Jieji had already been released at this moment. They were kneeling before Nicholas expressing endless devotion and worship, their eyes aflame with fanaticism. At the same time, they kept calling Nicholas’s name.

Next to Nicholas, the Cordyceps, which had sprouted a small tree on its head, was upright against the Bright Sun, scattering endless brilliance.

This scene resembled a devout congregation worshipping a deity, led by a religious leader.

“Nicholas, Epsilon, what… what are you doing?”

Bai Qi, seeing the situation, was lost for words and asked.

“Bai Qi, you’re back?”

Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Nicholas immediately recalled his majestic manner, his face full of innocence, and said, “I was just replacing the position of the Black Water Python in their hearts, but somehow it turned out like this.”

Bai Qi looked at the Cordyceps, which innocently scratched its head and said, “I only added the Virtual Soul that I have been experimenting with while brainwashing them, then they became like this.”

“Virtual Soul? You succeeded?”

Bai Qi raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

“Not exactly, I used the Dream Power to create a semi-finished product that only has the shell of a soul, but the inside is empty.”

The Cordyceps paused and continued, “However, unexpectedly these semi-finished products seem to have misled the charm in their souls. We have just searched through all their memories and have not triggered any prohibitions.”

“This works? Replacing like with like, switch by stealth?”

Bai Qi found the situation somewhat amusing. He doubted the tribes had anticipated that their charm would be broken by such means.

“It’s just that the impression left by Nicholas on them before was so deep that they became devout followers of Nicholas. However…”

The Cordyceps looked at Ba Jieji who had completely lost their reason below, its face somewhat strange.

“This shifts all the faith they had in the Black Water Python onto Nicholas. Wait, was it even enhanced?”

Bai Qi nodded slightly and said, “Right, what about their abilities? Since their faith has changed, they should have lost their abilities, right?”

“The weird thing lies here…”

The Ultrasonic Dolphin, which had been silent all this time, suddenly chimed in and said, “Although they have shifted their faith, they still retain their original abilities, and they are still incredibly loyal to the Black Water Python, even willing to give up their lives!”

“However, similarly, they are just as, no, they are even more faithful to Nicholas.”

The Ultrasonic Dolphin nodded and said, “We have already tried. So long as it doesn’t involve Nicholas, they still primarily consider the Black Water Python, just as before, there is no difference. But as long as it involves Nicholas, they would abandon the Black Water Python without hesitation.”

“Wait a minute, let me arrange this.”

Bai Qi waved his hands, pondered for a moment, and said, “The highest faith of Ba Jieji has now changed to Nicholas, but it has not eliminated the faith in the Black Water Python.”

“Simply put, it has changed from replacing to inserting, and Nicholas’ rank is even higher than the Black Water Python.”

“Also, even the tribe’s pact cannot recognize this situation?”

“Yes, exactly like that.”

All three beasts nodded in unison, clearly surprised by this transformation, while Bai Qi suddenly seemed to come up with a novel idea, his face revealing a dangerous smile.

“Do you think we could perhaps convert the tribe’s Beast Soul Warriors to our cause using this technique? For instance, with Nicholas at the core, we could establish a religion like the Green Dragon Church, the Jade Church, the Divine Dragon Church, and so on…”

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, the Ultrasonic Dolphin was about to speak but then held back, while the Worm Grass and Nicholas, on the other hand, suddenly got excited.

“Leader, I believe this is an excellent plan.”

Worm Grass’s face shone with anticipation. Although he had found the energy required for the growth of Moonlight Seeds, which was Nightmare, they could not be used at random; otherwise, they could accidentally harm their allies.

These Beast Soul Warriors were different; he could use the Eye of Nightmare freely and not worry about the consequences. He would even be able to cultivate some followers.

If he could establish a powerful religion, he wouldn’t have to worry about the Moonlight Ancient Tree’s upkeep.

As for the question of whether having a tree on his head looks uncouth, though there is no direct evidence, Worm Grass instinctively felt the Moonlight Ancient Tree was greatly beneficial, and thus couldn’t disregard it.

Strength equaled justice; strength equaled beauty!

“A Divine Dragon Church? Can I really…?”

Nicholas seemed to enjoy Bai Qi’s proposal too, already imagining scenes in which countless humans would worship him.

“Of course you can. As the ancients said, borrow foreigners’ techniques to control them. Here, we are liberating countless humans seduced by the tribes. That is an accomplishment that will be remembered forever.”

Bai Qi increasingly believed in the feasibility of the idea. He turned to Ba Jieji and said, “That’s right, now that their faith has been replaced by Nicholas, wouldn’t they also develop Martial Souls akin to the Dragon Clan?”

“Leader, your wisdom always shines through. They actually developed Dragon Clan Martial Souls and something even beyond that.”

With a flattering remark to Bai Qi, Worm Grass became serious and looked at Ba Jieji. “Now, show the Father of the Dragon God what your abilities are.”

Father of the Dragon God? Are we already assigning roles in hierarchy? That was quick.

Bai Qi couldn’t help expressing his admiration at the sight, and Ba Jieji, without expressing any doubt about Worm Grass’s words, obediently released their Martial Souls.

In a blink of an eye, eight Giant Dragon Martial Souls appeared behind Ba Jieji, resembling Nicholas in shape but displaying different properties.

Before Bai Qi could make a comment, a Bond Curse Mark unexpectedly appeared overhead, integrating the Giant Dragon Martial Souls into Bai Jieji.

After a brief moment, eight Dragon hybrids appeared before Bai Bai Qi.

“Not only did they replace their Martial Souls, but they even evolved into a Dragon hybrid form?”

Looking at the transformation of Ba Jieji, Bai Qi’s eyes sparkled even brighter. “Let’s go, this Divine Dragon Church, no, let it be called the Dragon God Church, we must establish it!”

“Nicholas, you continue studying the status of Ba Jieji. Epsilon, go find Schuck and the others and have them map out a plan for the development of our religion.”

“If we don’t poach all the Beast Soul Warriors from the tribe, we’ll have failed to capitalize on today’s discovery.”

“As you command, leader!”

Worm Grass stomped its foot and then hustled Nicholas off to find Schuck.

“They are so full of life~”

Watching them leave, Bai Qi revealed a grin. Seeing that the Ultrasonic Dolphin still hadn’t come to a decision, he rolled his eyes and said, “Would you, Mr. Ultrasonic Dolphin, be interested in joining our Dragon God Church?”

The Ultrasonic Dolphin, with its ability to manipulate enemies with its voice, was a top candidate for disseminating the religion. If it could be persuaded to join, it would undoubtedly be of great help.

“Dragon God Church? I don’t think so. I don’t have the Dragon attribute, so it’s not suitable.”

Seeing the peculiar smile on Bai Qi’s face, the Ultrasonic Dolphin instinctively refused. However, Bai Qi was not willing to let it go so easily. “The Dragon attribute is not a problem. You should already know about the Dragon Emperor Secret Realm, right? If you’re willing, I can help you apply for entrance. Who knows, you might even acquire the inheritance~”

“This is not just the Giant Dragon bloodline, but an actual Eastern Dragon bloodline. The fish leaping to become a dragon, oh dear…”

Each word by Bai Qi was a precise attack on Ultrasonic Dolphin’s weak spot. The Dragon Emperor Secret Realm—it was one of the reasons the West Sea had agreed to join the Deep Sea Alliance. However, until now, the South Sea hadn’t allowed the West Sea to use it.

If Bai Qi could indeed help it obtain the permission to enter the realm and acquire the bloodline of the Divine Dragon, even a little would be incredibly beneficial.

“I… let me think about it a while longer. I will give you a response in a few days.”

Struggling visibly, it finally did not agree straightforwardly. Nonetheless, Bai Qi wasn’t in a hurry. He shrugged and indicated that he was free to do as he pleased.

“No problem. There’ll always be a place for you in the Dragon God Church.”

What he feared was not hesitation; it was outright refusal.

As long as it was still considering, the matter was already half-done. In a few days, he could take Delta and the Thirteen Protectors with him and show off a little in front of the Ultrasonic Dolphin. That should do the trick.

“I should first study the Death Virus. Comparatively speaking, this is a more pressing matter.”
