Chapter 3, Beast Spirit Realm

However, the Beastmen are not afraid because of this; they believe that only by reaching the legendary level, possessing a legendary-level powerful body or armor for protection, can they withstand the forces of the destructive space and reach the Beast God Temple to inherit the power of the Beast God

Onisete quickly fell into a deep sleep, snoring loudly, but Zou Liang could not sleep at all while staring at the low ceiling.

This wondrous world can forge the strongest beast warriors

The Beast Spirit Realm is said to be the closest world to the one that the Beast God left behind to protect his people from the invasion of the monstrous beasts from the underground world.

Even if one defeats him, not much beast spirit can be gained, but for newcomers, a victory and a small amount of beast spirit are still significant rewards

In his sleep, Ernest may have been struck, as he struggled and turned over, kicking out with one leg. Zou Liang only felt a great force coming at him, and he collided headfirst into the crystal ball

In Arthur's memory, Zou Liang understands that the pain of battle is the same as in reality; being killed means being expelled from the Beast Spirit Realm, but that experience is certainly not pleasant. The merging of their memories intensifies Zou Liang's fear.

In the Beast Spirit Realm, this is akin to meat, subject to slaughter. Generally speaking, individuals come to the Beast Spirit Realm with a certain level of preparation, although occasionally some may arrive to test the waters. However, someone like Arthur is truly one of a kind, which is why he has gained a bit of notoriety among newcomers. People do not concern themselves with what his real name is; instead, they have given him a nickname, a name that anyone can understand—Waste.

Zou Liang cannot understand why it is necessary, knowing full well that victory is unattainable. Moreover, even if one were to win, what would be the point of it?

There are also quite a few people near the altar, but their gazes are filled with ease. Inside, there are orcs who possess nothing, of course, mostly just one or two weapons, or they have already taken on a preliminary beast transformation.

However, suddenly a beastman appeared before him, and he also heard mocking voices in his ears; he sensed that something was amiss

"Waste, attack! You have one chance!" Soros said casually while lifting the large shield with a smile

All along, Zou Liang regarded it as a table lamp, but upon seeing the battered Ernest, Zou Liang began to doubt himself. In the last life, he lived in a daze; does he have to continue in this manner in this life as well

Upon looking at myself, I found that I was in an ordinary humanoid state, without any weapons, and without any beast transformation as depicted in the illustrations. I had nothing at all, completely bare.

The gaze fell upon the only table in the room, on which rested a glowing crystal ball; this was the passage for the beast tribe to enter the Beast Spirit Realm

In fact, once one reaches the Golden Radiance level, they can break through the barrier of the Beast Spirit Realm. However, once they leave the protection of the Beast Spirit Realm, the Beast Soul will dissipate, and their physical body in reality will be destroyed. There was once a Golden Radiance level warrior from the Rhine Lion tribe who extended a hand out of the Beast Spirit Realm, resulting in a direct transformation into a Silver Light level.

What is the purpose of living

He shook his head with a bitter smile; what does it matter if he is angry? He is not as foolish as my silly brother.

What meets the eye is an endless array of beast tribes. From Arthur's memories, Zou Liang has already understood that the Beast Spirit Realm is actually quite simple. It consists solely of altars used for combat, while the temples serve to maintain the stability of the Beast Spirit Realm and simultaneously increase the number of altars. The philosophy of the beast tribes is that only through continuous battle can true strength be born.

Zou Liang understood that it was impossible not to fight; once on the altar, one must engage in battle. Otherwise, it would be a disrespect to the Beast God. In this world, to blaspheme the Beast God is undoubtedly a path to death.

The Beast Spirit Realm is divided into a total of eight parts, with each of the eight major provinces having one. The Imperial Capital is located at the center of these eight major provinces. Beastmen can only enter the Beast Spirit Realm of their own province; however, residents of the Imperial Capital are an exception, as they can freely enter the Beast Spirit Realm of any province

When beasts enter the Beast Spirit Realm, they also descend according to their strength, with those who are relatively weaker arriving at the periphery

Does a pig's head push?

"Hehe, Jack, you are right; I won't need my weapon anymore." Saying this, he plunged the great sword into the ground, playing with the sword in his hand while looking at the trembling Zou Liang.

A middle-aged member of the Fox clan, dressed entirely in white, spoke from below the stage. This was clearly someone of the type of a steward or bodyguard, as the Tiger clan generally prefers to employ stewards and attendants from the Fox clan

He was very afraid, yet his body seemed to be a little excited; the lingering soul of Arthur appeared to still yearn for battle, tireless and indifferent to life and death

Soros knew that this guy was formidable, but he did not expect him to be this formidable. As the shield was raised, Zou Liang charged headfirst into it, resulting in a loud crash.

The establishment of the Eight Great Provinces is also centered around the divisions made by the Beast Spirit Realm. For the orcs and the - map - book, entering the Beast Spirit Realm is quite easy; one condition is the Beast Spirit Seal, and the other is the crystal ball obtained from the temple. The crystal ball of the Hebrew brothers was left behind by their father; otherwise, given their circumstances, the temple would not have wasted it.

Looking at the opponent's large sword and shield, Zou Liang felt a sense of discomfort, sweat... If there were any, it would surely flow down like a waterfall, his hands trembling.

If it was possible to muddle through in the last life, can it be done in this life as well

Fighting? Zou Liang remembers rolling in the mud with a few children when he was young. As for his hobbies like Tai Chi and Judo, they are merely for fun, aimed at better experiencing the thrill of combat games, which is fundamentally different from this life-and-death battle

The form in which the orcs enter the Spirit Beast Realm is their transformed state after becoming Spirit Beasts in reality. Zou Liang felt a sudden clarity in his mind, and the surroundings brightened; he had already arrived in the Spirit Beast Realm

Boom

In this world of survival of the fittest, he has been deceiving himself; Ernest has always respected himself, yet he is merely a burden. Without him, Ernest could still live a fulfilling life, but what about him?

What is this called, following the earth-shattering laughter

He is quite unfortunate; upon entering the Beast Spirit Realm through the entrance of the illustrated book, there is a certain probability of directly appearing on the altar. Once on the altar, one must engage in battle to descend.

Mr. Soros, this individual is too weak for you, insufficient to showcase your strength; however, it is also good to engage a bit in preparation for the next battle

Why did he come here

The boundary of the Beast Spirit Realm is an invisible barrier, but legends say that a long time ago, the strongest Beast Emperor crossed this boundary and reached the true location of the Beast God, surrounded by the eight Beast Spirit Realms

Soros was very dissatisfied with the other party's negligence; for him, merely winning against the incompetent was not enough. It was essential to dominate and to do so in a manner that would not invite contempt from others

When winning becomes something everyone can achieve, the manner of winning becomes very important

With a close of the eyes, a lowering of the head, and a clenching of the teeth, he charged forward, instantly leaving all the beastmen around the battle altar in a state of shock

Hehe, it seems I am quite lucky, encountering you in the very first battle! Before me stands a Taegoh tribe member, and he is an armored warrior, already equipped with weapons and a shield

Zou Liang was somewhat unaccustomed to this sudden brightness, but he was not worried; after all, as long as he did not go up to the altar, there was no need to fight. He could just watch the commotion and then return to sleep.
