1 The Era Of Beast Tamers, The Birth Of The Golden Board

Alternate Universe, Blue Planet.

Ever since the Era of Beast Tamers had taken place, the entire blue planet has expanded dozens of times.

Everyone could become a beast tamer, and they were capable of controlling their pet beasts to fight.

However, not all pet beasts were made equal.

In order to make their already powerful pet beasts even stronger, some beast tamers would attack other people's pet beasts.

Once they emerge victorious in battle, they will order their pet beasts to devour their opponent's pet beasts to make their own pet beasts stronger.

As a result of this, society was thrown into disarray, and the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, had once again become the law of the world.

The entire planet fell into endless chaos.

While the beast tamers were busy fighting each other...

The mountain ranges of the planet had crumbled as a result of the beast tamers' constant battle. The ground was trampled by the pet beasts, and it was scarred by a terrifying web of cracks that extended throughout the planet. The weather had also been drastically affected as well, as the sky was always roaring with the deafening sound of thunderclaps.

The ecology of Blue Planet had undergone a drastic change.

Without the protection of their pet beasts, the beast tamers who had lost in combat had found it difficult to survive in the new chaotic world.

This endless chaos lasted for a whole thirteen years.

A total of five people had remained undefeated in all their bouts over the last thirteen years. However, once they noticed how devastated their world had become, their hearts were filled with endless sorrow.

As a result, they redefined the laws of the world, and each of them established a force to balance each other, in order to prevent the world from falling into chaos again.

The five forces were:

La Powo Palace in the snow mountain of the La Serleena Plateau.

The Wei Zhou Bao Temple in Brideport Plain.

The Aramborg religion in the Chacabuk Basin.

The Oguapu Palace in the Clarkswick Desert.

The Burbus Temple in the Thunder Valley of the Kalaworth Stasi.

Time passed quickly, and many years passed.

The five victors from the beginning had all died, and in order to accompany their masters, the pet beasts had perished as well.

Due to the death of these five individuals, seeds of chaos were once again sowed within the world.

However, since the forces that they had established to maintain order still existed, there was not much chaos.

...

Year 210, New Era (NE).

The five major forces had banded together to eliminate a group of rebels, ending a decade-long rebellion.

...

The same year.

Clarencia.

A ray of golden light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire Blue Planet's night sky.

Once the people's vision had acclimated to the brightened surroundings, they saw a golden scroll floating in the night sky.

After an unknown amount of time, the scroll slowly opened.

As the scroll slowly opened to both sides, rays of multicolored light bloomed from the gold scroll, and they reached every corner of Blue Planet.

Wherever the multicolored light shone, with the exception of humans, be it the mountains, lands, rivers, or pet beasts, all of them were blessed with a sudden burst of vitality.

Although humans did not receive the vitality brought about by the scroll, a giant board had appeared before their eyes.

The board's ancient aura and the strange beast images that were etched into it had indicated its long, ancient past. 

All the humans on Blue Planet were reduced to mere meditating old monks as they stared at the board floating in the sky.

...

On the snow mountain of the La Serena Plateau.

A palace stood on the peak of the snow mountain.

Within the halls of the palace...

"Anthony, what's happening outside? To think that the La Powo Palace has gotten involved as well!" A questioning voice sounded in the spacious hall.

A muscular man casually sat on the sofa at the highest point of the hall.

He exuded an intense wave of pressure underneath his masculine appearance, and it made it difficult for people to look him in the eyes.

Anthony knelt on one knee in front of the door to the hall. With one hand on the ground, he bent down and said, "Your highness, it's a natural phenomenon. The night sky was suddenly illuminated by a golden light that stretches as far as the eye can see! And once we've gotten used to the illumination, we were greeted by the sight of a scroll. We have no idea what it is."

"Oh?" A puzzled voice came from the main hall.

Creak~~

The door to the main hall slowly swung opened.

Braddock was wearing an unlined garment. With one arm behind his back, he strode out of the main hall.

He walked out of the main hall and arrived at the balcony.

He raised his head and saw a golden scroll floating in the air.

"This is in Lille's direction. Send a few skilled disciples to check it out. What on earth is happening?"

"Apart from that, send someone to the Great Elder's manor and ask him to come out. He might have seen this phenomenon before."

"Yes."

Anthony received the order and turned around to leave.

Once Anthony was gone, Braddock stared at the golden scroll floating in the air and suddenly asked, "What do you think this matter has to do with?"

Whoosh...

As soon as Braddock finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing a black long robe and a black top hat walked out of the shadows.

He was one of Braddock's right-hand men, and the man who was known to the rebel army as the elusive "Blair".

"Your Highness, I believe the golden board is related to pet beasts. Perhaps, it is an indication that a powerful pet beast will appear."

The voice was low and cold.

"Oh? What makes you think so?" Braddock asked in surprise.

"Your Highness, my pet beast throbbed slightly upon the golden board's appearance. It was as if it wanted to submit to the golden board in the sky."

"Although my pet beast had only throbbed slightly, I still detected it."

"A powerful pet beast that has never appeared before?"

Hearing Blair's response, Braddock put his arms behind his back and looked at the sky with an even more profound gaze.

...

At this moment, in the Great Elder's manor.

The Great Elder looked at the golden board that lit up the night sky with a shocked expression.

"This is?"

He had lived in the La Powo Palace for more than a hundred years, but he had never seen such a scene before.

How could this not shock him?

Faced with the mysterious object, he circulated the divine power in his body with the intention to completely see through the secrets of the golden board.

As the divine power in his body gathered in his eyes, his gaze penetrated tens of thousands of miles and reached the golden board. However, he was met with layers of dense fog wrapping around the board.

It was as if the golden board did not exist in this world.

Suddenly, the golden board emitted a golden light. It followed the Great Elder's gaze and sped towards his manor.

Upon noticing the golden ray's approach, a sense of danger suddenly arose in his heart.

"Can this golden ray kill me?"

Trusting his body's instincts, the Great Elder hurriedly retracted his gaze and rushed towards the uninhabited area at the side.

The golden ray seemed to have homing abilities.

It quickly changed directions to pursue the elder.

The golden light drew a beautiful arc in the air and finally hit the Great Elder's body.

The Great Elder, who was hit by the golden light, only felt the blood in his body churning. His muscles were limp and powerless, and his soul seemed to be torn apart.

"Pfft!!!"

The first elder, who was lying in the snow, spat out a mouthful of blood.

Warm blood spurted out of the first elder's mouth, dyeing the white snow around him crimson.

At the same time, a young man in a red robe was gathering divine power right below the gold board.
