How could it feel reconciled for it to be labeled as a low-class desolate beast while being that of royalty?
“I give you two choices. One, I’ll kill you, and then refine you into a Beast Mark of Death, becoming my second Aspect Totem. Two, you yield to me, and be refined into a Beast Mark of Life. You will carry on surviving in the form of a beast mark.”
“When the time comes, I will nurture you and let you tide through each and every Heavenly Tribulation to become stronger. Maybe you will lose some dignity and freedom, but you will live on, and you might even become a Nine Tribulation Nine Neonate!”
“You can leave the Tian Yuan world, and travel the cosmos to see different things and experience a wider world. You will witness the millions of years of history developing before your very eyes, as you become a top existence of this world!”
Yi Yun described the magnificent future. It was his promise to the Nine Neonate, as well as a goal he set for himself.
The Nine Neonate turned silent. What Yi Yun described was what it had yearned for.
Yi Yun was in no hurry. He stood beside the Nine Neonate and silently waited for its decision.
The Nine Neonate’s 19 eyes opened and 19 gazes landed on Yi Yun. It seemed to be discerning if this human could create the miracles he said.
Although the Nine Neonate had little contact with humans, it could still tell that the human in front of it had terrifying talent and potential.
After a long while, Yi Yun sensed that the animosity in the Nine Neonate’s spirit had disappeared.
Yi Yun knew that this meant that the Nine Neonate had agreed. Even if it was unwilling, it was the best choice that it could make at the present moment.
Some desolate beasts would rather choose their dignity over life.
However, the Nine Neonate would not, not because it was afraid of death, but because it… was indignant!
It felt indignant that it would silently die despite having such a powerful bloodline.
Seeing the Nine Neonate agreeing to him, Yi Yun heaved a sigh of relief. Although he had already decided that even if the Nine Neonate did not agree to it, he would still refine the Nine Neonate into a Beast Mark of Life, the effects as a result of that was inferior to a willing Nine Neonate.
After all, to nurture a Nine Neonate required its cooperation.
He adjusted his mind and formed hand seals one after another as they covered the Nine Neonate.
These seals slowly condensed on the Nine Neonate, deeply imprinting themselves on it to form profound looking Dao patterns.
The Dao patterns spread and covered the Nine Neonate’s entire body. Finally, the Nine Neonate emanated a reddish-gold light.
In the light, its body gradually reduced in size till it was the size of a baby’s palm, before it entered Yi Yun’s body.
With that, a beautiful nine-headed hydra tattoo appeared on Yi Yun’s arm.
He had successfully refined a Beast Mark of Life!
The moment the Nine Neonate merged into his body, Yi Yun felt his blood begin to boil. An immense amount of energy surged through his body as his body slowly transformed. The nomological seed buried deep in his Yuan foundation seemed to move from this amount of energy, and it appeared to begin to slowly sprout!
