Beast Taming Patrol-Chapter 751 - 252: The Existence of Experimentation (Two-in-One, Asking for Monthly Tickets)_6

"We’ve certainly considered that question," Neymar said, shaking his head helplessly. "If we could ignore the Alien Beast Ban and contract beasts in the ocean, we would have enough confidence to confront the Red Flame Immortal Country, given that most marine beasts possess water-based elemental powers, while Yan Rong is a fire-based immortal, and the Red Flame Immortal Country is also home to mostly fire-based beasts."

"But the three Immortal Countries have long forced the marine beast forces to join the ban while enacting the Alien Beast Ban."

"There are numerous marine beast forces, yet none have the power to contend with the three immortals, and the complex grudges and contradictions between them prevent unity."

"For human Beast Tamers, marine beasts are quite important, but to the marine beasts themselves, human Beast Tamers are not that important. Naturally, they would not go to war with the immortals over something as trivial as whether they can contract with humans."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of sadness flashed in Lin Su’s eyes.

If marine beasts could unite against the three great Immortal Countries on land, there would undoubtedly be an advantage for the marine beasts, and a significant chance to overthrow the Alien Beast Ban.

But that is just an ideal situation.

Why would marine beasts do such a thing for humans?

Unless humans could offer something the marine beasts simply could not refuse.

Indeed, having a Beast Taming Space that accelerates the growth of a cherished beast is clearly insufficient.

At present, humans have nothing that would entice the marine beasts.

"Don’t overthink it," Neymar said with a laugh, seemingly guessing Lin Su’s thoughts. "I’ve always felt the existence of the Alien Beast Ban isn’t necessarily a bad thing."

"How so?" Lin Su asked, slightly taken aback.

"You’re young, Researcher Lin, and not aware of the initial conditions for human Beast Tamers after the great catastrophe," Neymar said with a hint of nostalgia. "Back then, humanity had just discovered the existence of the Beast Taming Space under the guidance of Dr. Bo Wa, and we were still trying to figure out everything related to Beast Tamers."

"It wasn’t long before humans discovered that the Beast Taming Space could contract with beasts, and that it was possible to elevate its rank through a set meditation technique."

"Different ranks of the Beast Taming Space allow for contracting with a different number and strength of beasts."

Neymar laughed, "Don’t underestimate this knowledge that any child on the street can tell you nowadays. Back then, to confirm it, many pioneers were backfired upon while attempting to contract with excessively powerful beasts."

"After deducing this rule, the number of human Beast Tamers surged, but all research efforts were focused on how to meditate more effectively to boost the rank of the Beast Taming Space and how to rapidly increase the strength of beasts."

"Today, the meditation techniques of the four major safety alliances are the same, and this technique is the result of countless updates, upgrades, and extensive simulation testing to achieve the optimal solution."

"As for the increase in strength, research projects are mainly concentrated on how to effectively raise the proficiency ranks of talents and skills of the cherished beasts."

"There were no research projects on evolution and teaching?" Lin Su exclaimed, somewhat astonished.

These topics, seen as most crucial today, were they really not researched back then?

"Yes, none," Neymar affirmed, shaking his head. "Long ago, humanity had observed a few natural cases of beast evolution, but back at the beginning of the catastrophe, they didn’t pay much attention to it, since all beasts were undergoing frenzied evolution due to exposure to Ghost Energy radiation."

"Not until the Alien Beast Ban came along and a generation gap emerged among the new human Beast Tamers, did some start paying attention to this special phenomenon of evolution and further study it."

"The current evolutionary pathways and countless teaching techniques originated from that period, and once started, they became unstoppable."

"Later, with the evolutionary pathways and teaching techniques they developed, human Beast Tamers eventually managed to regain the upper hand in battles against the beasts, but then, Yan Rong was born," Neymar shook his head.

"Yan Rong was the first immortal-tier, followed by Dark Scales and Emperor Xuan."

"These three immortal-tier beasts instantly pushed humanity back to the brink of disaster, forcing us to consider how to resolve this crisis."

"As a result, the four major alliances developed Mechanical Armed Beasts, Guardian Beast Co-operation, Faith Evolution pathways, and Bio-modified Beasts," Neymar spread his hands open. "Researcher Lin, do you think, without the Alien Beast Ban, would humanity have discovered these things?"

Lin Su was silent.

Such a chain of causality was something he had never considered.

It was the Alien Beast Ban that had forced humanity to unearth the secrets of evolution.

Because of the Immortal Rank, humanity had embarked on a journey to discover a whole new Beast Taming system.

It might sound ridiculous at first, but upon deeper reflection, it seemed to make a lot of sense.

Neymar’s voice stopped, and then he suddenly asked, "Researcher Lin, do you have a religious belief?"

"No," Lin Su shook his head decisively.

"Religious belief isn’t about making people believe that so-called Gods and deities really exist," Neymar rubbed his chest with his palm, "It’s just to give people an extra measure in their hearts, a little more comfort, so they don’t feel empty."

"But..." Neymar chuckled, "I am starting to believe more and more that God does exist."

"No, not necessarily God, perhaps someone with a power beyond our imagination," Neymar laughed, "Someone who couldn’t figure out how to solve a problem, so they threw the same problem at us, so they could copy our homework."

"If there really is such a being, I would definitely catch him and give his butt a good kick!"

Lin Su smiled wryly.

How could such a being exist?

The general’s speculation seemed a bit too far-fetched.

Yet gradually, he found it harder to laugh.

Was there really no such being?

Then why did Ghost Energy Stones, no matter where they appeared, always give birth to the same alien beast species?

Why does the world of Shen Wu, which is so far away from Blue Star and possibly not even in the same universe, have a past so similar to Blue Star’s?

Wasn’t martial arts also forced out by the Alien Beast Ban?

All of this seemed like an experiment with controlled variables.

So what kind of existence was conducting the experiment?

Lin Su was silent.

A coldness he had never experienced before welled up in his heart.

What, then, was his own existence?

"It seems we’ve gone a bit off topic," Neymar scratched his head, "These are just my personal speculations, I don’t understand much about research, so it’s probably nonsense. Researcher Lin, you shouldn’t take it to heart."

"Yes," Lin Su nodded in agreement, but he seemed a bit silent.

How could he not take it to heart?

Seeing Lin Su like this, Neymar coughed lightly and said nothing more.

In the silence, the Wind Evil Winged Dragon carried the people swiftly towards the Holy Alliance.
