My Pet Beast is really not an Evil God

Chapter 538: Chapter 191: The Great Harvest! Demigod Mythical Weapon! The Beast of the Meadow is Born! (Asking for Monthly Tickets) _2

Although he lost his body, he gained a lifespan nearly as immense as that of the Immortal One!

It sounds pretty great, and he did indeed live longer, sparking a craze amongst his contemporaries to seek out such little worlds, but...

As a BeastMaster, his decision to abandon his Pet Beasts inevitably led to the loss of spiritual balance in his Spiritual Puzzle, which triggered a terrifying mutation, contaminating the entire small world and causing a great upheaval.

The final result was...

That giant and the small world were severed from the main world, forming a wandering forbidden zone of life in the Void!

Did it further mutate now?

Or has it already been destroyed?

Given this cautionary tale, unless absolutely necessary, the top powerhouses would rather research life-prolonging elixirs than risking mutation.

Just like accepting a gift from the Evil God, after mutation, it’s uncertain whether one can maintain self-awareness—it’s no different than being dead.

And the cost of the [Staff of the Dust-Stepper] is to use ten times one’s lifespan to seize another’s life!

If it is used by someone at the Morning Star Level, their lifespan would likely be depleted after two uses, and they would quickly become a frail old man.

Even the Radiant Moon Tier would hesitate to squander their lifespan so extravagantly; it’s easier to roll up one’s sleeves and fight.

As for the Immortal One, they are not afraid of this usage condition.

But those with an almost infinite lifespan, even if they used a hundred thousand years of their life to accelerate the aging of their enemy by ten thousand years,

The enemy would only be able to say:

"Oh, I’ve aged another ten thousand years."

So in the end, is it a competition to see who’s older?

Just because it’s ineffective against the Immortal One doesn’t mean the [Staff of the Dust-Stepper] is useless, on the contrary, it is more precious than anything else, deserving to be called a top treasure amongst the gods.

The cost is high, it all depends on how it is used!

If used at the right time, it can bring back hundreds, if not thousands of times the profit in return!

For instance, it could be used to kill out-dated, gnarled old immortals who don’t have much time left, using your own lifespan. The bounty would be their precious treasures, but more importantly...

"I am the Master of the Gate!"

Gary Smith stated passionately, this talent that allowed him to connect with the Door of Truth, gave him abilities like the Taboo Status Level, the creation of Taboo Secret Food and so on.

One of those abilities, was called [Side Effect Reduction]!

It could reduce the side effects of any Super-level abilities on his person to just one percent!

The Foodlust Crucible had been entirely subdued by this talent, whenever it encountered him, it would automatically lift... its lid!

This meant that for every ten years of another’s lifespan he claimed, they would need one hundred years, and Gary Smith would only need one year!

This ability gave him the confidence to contend with those at the Radiant Moon Tier!

At worst, he would use a hundred years of his own lifespan to claim another’s life!

This wasn’t something he would do lightly, as there was always the risk that his enemies had life-prolonging tools, or they could undergo surgeries for Extraordinary Organ Transplants or mechanical modifications and greatly extend their lifespans.

Then, he would be in big trouble!

Moreover, demons generally live longer than human species!

Vigilance was crucial when using it!

Besides, the upgrading condition for the [Staff of the Dust-Stepper] was spirit, which meant it would compete for resources with his Meadow and the Thousand-faced Soul Tree, this made Gary Smith somewhat uneasy.

It seemed the number of Gold-Devouring Beasts in his household was growing steadily!

"I wonder if the spirits of insects count, if they do, they might be an easy work-around..."

Gary Smith pondered on his unhumanly plan. Although he had confidence in the abilities of the Master of the Gate, he needed to have a security measure in place, to test whether he could indeed offset the imbalance.

The plan was to test the [Decay Ability], the cost was quite low, only requiring a day’s lifespan!

Gary Smith, his back to the crowd, extended his Dragon Claw and began to inject Spirit Energy!

Hum!

A streak of golden light flashed in the crystal at the tip of [Staff of the Dust-Stepper], and a strange force of law spread out, allowing Gary Smith to feel the concept of his own "lifespan" clearly.

After a rough estimate... he reckoned he could live about 140 years or more. Adding his current age, he had crossed conversely he maximum calculated lifespan of his past life!

"Who says good people don’t live long? Good guy Gary is going to live a hundred years!"

Gary Smith thought boldly, while he ignored the [Life Food Technique], looking forward to the dramatic boost in his lifespan once he would level up to Morning Star.

Crackle!

Very soon, he felt the rule of decay descending on him, and then the concept of [one day] from his lifespan was stripped away.

Hum!

Just as the lifespan was about to be absorbed by the Staff of the Dust-Stepper, the [Shepherd] Spiritual Puzzle in Gary Smith’s spirit shook slightly, and it actually altered the rule.

It forcibly changed one day’s lifespan into only one percent of a day’s lifespan!

Calculated, it would only be 14.4 minutes!

"It worked!"

With delightful surprise on his face, Gary Smith then felt an intangible power of decay spreading, covering the Dragon Head.

Although its appearance didn’t change, its aura was completely different!

The most direct feeling came to people like Wendell Howard. Suddenly, they saw the cruel and violent Crimson Dragon, whose aura had become profound and antique, filled with an inconceivable sense of vicissitudes of years to mortal beings.

As if it had crossed the endless years to arrive here, only to find...

All things it once cherished had reduced to nothing!

And it needed to continue to bear the loneliness of immortality, and move on!

Like a...

Dragon, forgotten by the world!

"Why do I for some reason feel a sudden urge to cry..." Cynthia Shin suddenly felt her eyes getting teary, harboring a strange desire to rush over and comfort it.

However, having seen the Little Spider and the Black Red Dragon Ant beside Gary Smith, she snapped out of it!

Getting too close rashly might result in a beating!

The others could also feel the sense of loneliness, subconsciously covering their chests, taking deep breaths to alleviate the discomfort.
