Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3979 - Invincible Tian Jiu

Moran and her sisters’ heptastar astral organs had completely replaced all their astrons with middlekin astrons, which was clearly apparent from the astral glow that emanated from the surface of their bodies. Their auras had completely changed as well, and appeared to have much more depth than before. She gave off the impression of a snow-white vortex, filled with mystery that strongly drew Tianming's attention. It wasn't something that could be encapsulated by the mere notion of beauty.

"Do I only need to consume them?" Moran asked, still not too used to her hundred-meter-tall body after Tianming had fed her so many goodies to help her grow.

"Let me feed you," Tianming said. Moran obediently opened her mouth and chewed the fruits that he put in her mouth like a fish hanging from a hook. Once she ate all fifty of them, she felt something warm burning deep within her, like a flame that couldn't easily be sated.

"Go ahead," Tianming said, pointing at the fifty-meter-wide essence.

"Okay." She nodded and entered it without even turning back to look at him. Tianming could see how resolute she was from her expression. She was fully intent on becoming much stronger! With him giving her so much support, she would do everything she could to discover her full potential!

Things were silent after she entered the cosmic god essence. Tianming took a deep breath and waited, somewhat nervous. Among the people in his entourage, Moran was the one with the weakest talent, often being many levels weaker than everyone else. Nobody expected that she would be able to shoot up like this all of a sudden.

Once she becomes a cosmic god, she'll have enough power within her to easily use Shiming Shengshi's cosmic god essences in combat. Then we’ll have enough firepower in the Ancient Oldgod Domain. Just you wait, Sixth's vita.... Just then, he noticed that the golden essence that Moran had entered had changed.

What's going on? He was stunned to see the solid essence melt into some kind of liquid. Even though a hole had been made in the essence, it was still incredibly structurally tough! How could something as hard as an imperial-class cosmic artifact melt like that?

Wait, no! Tianming got a closer look and shook with realization. The melting isn’t a result of the structure of middlekin astrons changing.... The middlekin astrons that are inscribed with the divine wonders themselves are melting!

The disintegration of the essence was happening at the most fundamental level. Nothing but pure power flowed out. The essence had turned from a starlike body into a concentrated sphere of liquid energy! Throughout the process, some black solids—about a third of the volume of the essence—had been ejected. They dimmed right after being expelled, looking like some kind of impurity. The liquid that remained looked like a fusion of some root bloodline, divine wonder patterns, and cosmic god power!

"Little Fish, are you alright?" Tianming asked.

Immediately after, the liquid essence contracted and he saw a glowing figure within the sphere of liquid, completely unclothed, sporting long, slender legs that complemented her perfect figure and long, flowing ink-green hair with an astral glow. She looked like a goddess in amber, radiating a kind of beauty that left an impact on him.

Her body's astrons have all turned into middlekin astrons! She's become a cosmic goddess! When that finally occurred to him, he watched as the liquefied essence, lacking any impurities, entered her body. The goddess was fully bare before him, emanating a snow-white glow. Her long legs, slim waist, slender arms, and gentle peaks, not to mention her enchanting face and deep, ink-green eyes, were nothing short of peak.

Tianming had seen far too many cosmic goddesses, but she was the first to actually make him appreciate their aesthetic refinement. Even though he hadn't truly become a cosmic god himself, with his astral brain and seventh astral organ still having normal astrons, he still found her attractive.

He didn't get to view the sight indefinitely, however. Moran woke up and shyly looked him in the eye before manifesting a dress around her body, yet that act of veiling only served to accentuate her beauty more. At that moment, Tianming snapped out of his daze and realized something. Little Fish, did you just fuse with the entire cosmic god essence?"

"Not the entire thing. I discarded the parts that belonged to other people and only took the divine wonder and energy, along with a portion of the bloodline from its ancient progenitor," she said, looking down at her brand-new body, feeling the sensation of ascending to a higher state of being. She was somewhat moved to tears. Though she had reached cosmic godhood, the emotions that her tears contained were all too human.

"By progenitor, you mean Tian Jiu," Tianming said. As Moran had become a cosmic goddess and started gaining the capability of absorbing wonderians themselves, he could finally consider her the same as the Tian Jiu of legend. Tian Jiu was both the object of faith and fear of the wonderians, loved and hated at the same time.

"Perhaps, but I don't have any memory of that, nor do I feel like I’ve been born again. We’re still us," Moran said.

"It's much better that way," Tianming agreed. Even though Moran was said to be Tian Jiu's reincarnation, her true destiny seemed to have begun in her current mortal life, unlike Zi Zhen or Feiling. Perhaps the second coming of Tian Jiu wasn't supposed to be a literal reincarnation of their will. Maybe Moran was the omega to the alpha that Tian Jiu was for the entire divine wondersky race.

"Then... should I fuse with those as well?" Moran asked, biting her lip when she looked at the remaining essences. That way she would no longer have to lug those huge spheres around and could integrate their divine wonders into her own body. Tianming figured that she would continue leveling up until she reached roughly the same size as he currently was.

"Sure! Well, now that you’ve accepted so much of Our generosity, start thinking of what kind of performance you’ll show Us!"
