375: Don't ask about the Tiger King

After dealing with the Time Acceleration Star, Lin Tianwei once again turned his attention to the primordial starlight stone.

This supreme treasure, which he had obtained from the initial Chaos Universe, was also a very suitable medium for refining into a Talent Star.

However, considering how fragile the newly formed Time Acceleration Star was, completely unable to withstand the impact of a fourth Talent Star, Lin Tianwei ultimately chose to give up and temporarily shelved the idea of refining the primordial starlight stone.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei looked at Blue Star, which was the main event to come.

As his origin planet, Blue Star, despite its low level, was Lin Tianwei's true base of operations, and naturally needed to be treated with caution.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei decided to first go and see the Tiger King Farm.

This was also one of his bases, and he wondered what changes had occurred after his long absence.

Tiger Tooth Space itself was a private domain space completely belonging to Lin Tianwei; although it couldn't be as arbitrary as his inner world, it was still considered to be completely under his control.

With just a thought, the Mental Power representing Lin Tianwei had already arrived above Blue Star.

At this time, Lin Tianwei's Mental Power was incredibly powerful, no longer comparable to the ordinary Siberian Tiger that once lived on Blue Star.

The fragile Blue Star simply couldn't withstand Lin Tianwei's full Mental Power, so Lin Tianwei only extracted a wisp of Mental Power to visit Blue Star.

Looking from afar, Blue Star was still that azure planet, reflecting the light of the tiger-made sun, appearing somewhat brilliant.

Lin Tianwei's observational ability was extremely strong, coupled with the BUG-level skill like Vision Field, in a few thoughts, he had the entire situation of Blue Star in his sight.

As time passed, the landscape of Blue Star underwent tremendous changes.

As human strength gradually increased, those once sky-obscuring Awakened Plants were gradually cleared, and the land was slowly reclaimed.

Martial arts halls, training grounds, martial artist research institutions, and other martial artist organizations were visible everywhere, indicating that Blue Star had evolved from a technological world into a high-martial world.

The power of technology was no longer mainstream, but rather a tool to assist human cultivation.

It wasn't that technology couldn't develop, but judging from the formidable strength of that Cosmic Beast, in the universe, technological development was clearly not the mainstream.

Moreover, developing technology was not something that could be accomplished overnight; it required new materials and new theoretical knowledge.

Due to the emergence of Awakened Beasts, new materials had indeed been found, but there was no sign of new theoretical knowledge appearing.

Their hearts were no longer focused on technological research.

This was an era where martial artists reigned supreme!

Behind the booming development, however, lay worries about the future, worries about Blue Star's destiny.

They still remembered the drastic changes that had once occurred on Blue Star, crises that were enough to completely destroy Blue Star, one after another.

That Cosmic Beast that controlled life and could easily refine countless beings into origins.

That sky-obscuring, terrifying Cosmic Beast capable of shattering Blue Star with a single blow.

Those countless, technologically advanced spaceships densely spread around Blue Star.

How could humans ever forget these experiences?

That deep sense of powerlessness still lingered in their memories, making them desperately want to become stronger, to make humanity even more powerful.

In the face of intense external crisis, humanity finally united, without distinction, working together solely to become stronger.

Now, Blue Star had only one voice, the Blue Star Alliance, marked by the Tiger King Flag, tightly united.

Lin Tianwei's arrival on Blue Star was just in time, coinciding with the Blue Star Alliance holding a meeting, a supreme meeting covering the entire Blue Star.

Any decision from the supreme meeting would affect the entire Blue Star's landscape.

: "What's the situation? When can we acquire the strength to break out of Blue Star?"

: "Breaking out of Blue Star is simple; the difficulty lies in how to deal with those terrifying Cosmic Beasts."

"Based on the data alone, even now, we still cannot contend with that Cosmic Beast that once appeared on Blue Star."

: "Not to mention dealing with those terrifying Cosmic Beasts, even if we could break out of Blue Star, the future would still be uncertain."

"I believe everyone knows that the universe where Blue Star is currently located is not the original Milky Way Galaxy at all; there are no sun, moon, or stars to speak of."

"Even the moon, that satellite, has long since disappeared, leaving only a false sun hanging in the sky."

: "This false sun should be the work of Lord Tiger King, intended to continuously provide energy to Blue Star and maintain its vitality."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for Blue Star to survive on its own."

"Not just vitality, but also energy for evolution."

"Anyone with a bit of perception can feel a gentle yet powerful energy from the sunlight, energy that can make us stronger after absorption."

"This is a new energy completely incomparable to previous sunlight; it's no exaggeration to call it an eternal miracle hanging in the sky."

: "It's truly curious why Lord Tiger King, also a Blue Star creature, is so powerful, effortlessly accomplishing such incredible feats."

"While we don't even have the courage to break out of Blue Star."

"The shock that Cosmic Beast caused humanity back then was immense, and the shock when Lord Tiger King swatted it dead was just as profound."

"That was an existence that left us without even the will to resist, yet it was merely a single slap for Lord Tiger King."

: "Do not view Lord Tiger King with worldly eyes; he is a god, completely different from ordinary Blue Star creatures."

"He just happened to be born on Blue Star; perhaps his true identity is some unknown Cosmic Beast, otherwise, it's impossible to explain why Lord Tiger King is so exceptional, despite also being a Blue Star creature."

"Don't compare; there's simply no comparison between the two."

: "I know all that you're saying, but, but why does Lord Tiger King never respond to our calls?"

"Past experiences tell us that Lord Tiger King's cosmic journey might not have been smooth sailing either."

"If he had communicated with us when he encountered difficulties, Lord Tiger King's cosmic journey might not have been so challenging."

: "Do you even hear the nonsense you're spouting?"

"Consult you? What reasonable advice could you possibly give? I think you simply want to add difficulty to Lord Tiger King's cosmic journey to have such an absurd idea."

"Stay calm, don't overthink things. Lord Tiger King will naturally call us when he needs us."

"At that time, you only need to worry about whether you have the ability to properly accomplish what Lord Tiger King entrusts to you."

: "That's true, but I feel it would be better for Lord Tiger King to communicate more with us."

"At least let us know a little about the outside world."

: "What you're saying is a bit ungrateful. Know about the outside world?"

"Do you want to know approximately how many hundreds of millions of Cosmic Beasts can swat Blue Star with one slap, or how many hundreds of millions of Cosmic Beasts are coveting Blue Star?"

"Don't pry into Lord Tiger King's affairs!"

... Lin Tianwei never imagined that the so-called supreme meeting would turn into a verbal brawl, and he even got caught in the crossfire.

However, there was one thing they said that Lin Tianwei strongly agreed with: they should pry less into his affairs.

With a thought, Lin Tianwei instantly arrived at the Tiger King Farm.

This was, after all, Lin Tianwei's former stronghold, so he had a little more affection for it.

Unexpectedly, even with the immense changes across the entire Blue Star, this place still maintained the scene from when Lin Tianwei left.

The vulgar Tiger King Temple and the vulgar Tiger King statue remained in their original state, as if time could not leave the slightest trace on them.

Chirp, chirp, chirp... Bloodwing chirped excitedly.

Under the effect of the Talent: Bloodwing (Extraordinary), a special connection formed between him and Bloodwing.

It was this connection that allowed Bloodwing to sense Lin Tianwei in his mental state, chirping joyfully to welcome Lin Tianwei's return in this unique way.

In the Tiger King Temple, Ouro was carefully attending to the Tiger King statue, wiping dust from it with the corner of his clothes.

As the one closest to Lin Tianwei, Ouro did not rely on his special status to seek power for himself.

Instead, he settled down and focused on managing the various affairs of the Tiger King Farm.

Because he knew that this would be more important than all other matters.

Perhaps because he had Awakened and his lifespan had been greatly extended, Ouro still maintained his original appearance at this time.

Only an increasingly profound pair of eyes spoke of Ouro's extraordinary nature.

Bloodwing's cries were incredibly loud, spreading throughout the entire Tiger King Farm, greatly surprising Ouro, as in his memory, Bloodwing had never been so joyful.

As Lin Tianwei's pet, and with his own considerable strength, Bloodwing's treatment was quite good; he was basically not targeted by humans.

After all, one respects the monk for the Buddha's sake; Bloodwing was Lin Tianwei's pet.

However, even under such favorable conditions, Bloodwing had no intention of going out and becoming a king of the mountains; he simply stayed guarding the farm, carrying out Lin Tianwei's last command.

To guard this farm that no longer needed guarding.

Listening to the rare bird song in his ears, Ouro felt that the Tiger King Farm had also become uncharacteristically cheerful, and he said with a smile:

"This silly bird, could it be that he saw a beautiful female bird to be so excited?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, even a silly bird has spring; it's truly a strange thing."

"I just wonder which bird he fancies, and whether he can successfully procreate."

"After all, whether it's Bloodwing or us, we've long since changed beyond recognition, no longer as we once were."

Thinking of this, Ouro walked out of the Tiger King Temple, wanting to see what kind of beautiful female bird could win Bloodwing's favor.

But he found that Bloodwing was just happily circling above the Tiger King Farm, with no female bird in sight.

This scene greatly surprised Ouro; what was wrong with this silly bird today, to be acting so unusually?

Lin Tianwei had been absent from Blue Star for far too long, so long that Ouro had forgotten there was another possibility.

He would rather believe that Bloodwing had gone insane than consider that Lin Tianwei had returned to the farm.

However, Ouro didn't know that the silly bird Bloodwing, in his eyes, was also looking at him with the gaze of someone looking at a fool.

This Ouro, praying to non-existent air every day, as devout as could be.

Yet, when the true god finally descended, he chose to ignore him, which was truly a bit unintelligent.

Fearing that he would be implicated by his incompetent teammate Ouro, Bloodwing finally couldn't hold back and spoke to remind him:

"Ouro, Master has returned! What are you still dallying for? Hurry up and come welcome him!"

"Could it be that, without my knowledge, you've already defected to another false god?"

"Although we've known each other for a while, if you dare to betray Lord Tiger King, I will absolutely dig out your heart and crush it to pieces immediately."

As time passed, the intelligence of powerful Awakened Beasts also evolved, becoming increasingly clever.

As Lin Tianwei's pet, Bloodwing's intelligence would naturally not be low; in fact, he could be said to be smarter than most humans.

He usually didn't speak simply because he felt it was unnecessary.

He didn't think there was anything worth communicating about between his powerful and intelligent self and these fragile and foolish humans.

Bloodwing's words instantly stunned Ouro, a huge joy filling his heart, making Ouro tremble all over.

He was simply too excited.

Ouro never imagined that he would have the chance to see Lin Tianwei again in his lifetime, to see the powerful and benevolent Lord Tiger King.

As if he had practiced countless times, Ouro prostrated himself on the ground, devoutly praying to the void:

"Under the witness of the sun, I humbly look up to the boundless sky, to the great Lord Tiger King, offering my most sincere prayers and hymns."

"Lord Tiger King, you are the King of All Beasts, the Guardian of the Forest. Your might and power make all things appear so small before you."

"Your eyes are like brilliant stars, shining with the light of wisdom and courage, guiding us to find direction in the darkness."

"Your figure is agile and swift, like a flash of lightning streaking across the sky, shaking our souls."

"Your roar is like thunder, echoing through the valleys, letting us feel your majesty and power."

"Lord Tiger King, you are not only a symbol of strength, but also the embodiment of wisdom."

"You teach us how to remain calm in adversity, and how to bravely forge ahead in challenges."

"Your wisdom is like a bright lamp, illuminating our path forward, so that we no longer feel lost on the journey of life."

"I sing of your greatness, I sing of your heroism and wisdom."

"You are our faith, the resting place of our souls."

"We are willing to dedicate our lives to follow you, to spread your spirit, so that more people can feel your power and wisdom."

"Lord Tiger King, please accept our most sincere prayers."

"May your power forever protect us, allowing us to bravely advance on the path of life."

"May your wisdom forever guide us, allowing us to find a way out of difficulties and grow through challenges."

"We offer you our highest reverence; may your divine name be forever proclaimed in the world, and may your spirit forever inspire us to move forward."
