Chapter 349 - The Quasi-Legendary Six-Path Flower
In the thousand-year empire, it seemed only the first emperor had ever nurtured a quasi-Legendary familiar. Upon hearing this, Lu Ran sighed deeply. But there was no helping it.
In the early days of the empire, the beastmaster system was still in its redevelopment phase. Unlike later-generation beastmasters, who stood on the shoulders of their predecessors, the path for the empire’s early beastmasters was far more arduous.
This was similar to how the first-generation beastmasters on Blue Planet had a harder journey than the fourth-generation beastmasters.
The number of beastmasters who nurtured quasi-Legendary species in the later stages of the empire far exceeded those in the early and middle periods. Even the Legendary beastmasters born in each era only emerged toward the end of their respective times.
Given this, Lu Ran had limited choices. The first emperor had nurtured a quasi-Legendary fox. The fourth empress was fortunate enough to contract a descendant of a Legendary lifeform, which was also why the third emperor entrusted her with great responsibility, making her the first female emperor.
Starwing Butterfly... Foxes and butterflies...
Both were undoubtedly excellent options. After all, they were quasi-Legendary.
To put it in perspective, even with the Broken Horn of the Divine Deer, Captain Doofus only barely qualified as quasi-Legendary because it lacked the corresponding combat prowess despite the species rank.
If Lu Ran could contract a true quasi-Legendary, he wouldn’t just dominate Blue Planet. Even in the Stellar Moon Federation, he could walk sideways without fear. The potential of a quasi-Legendary was just that formidable. In the absence of true Legendaries, quasi-divine beings stood at the peak, overlooking all Overlords.
Even Lu Ran wasn’t confident he could nurture Sudden Death King and the others to quasi-Legendary status during their second evolution. The higher the species rank, the harder it was to improve. This was unlike the early stages, where fusing a single trait could elevate the species by several ranks.
However, whether it was the Fox God or the Butterfly God, Lu Ran’s attention instantly shifted to the last name Emperor Yun mentioned. At the same time, he felt a strange sense of temporal dislocation.
