Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 415: Chapter 283: Ready

Inside the landing platform.

Over 500 Beast Masters from races such as the Humans, Dragon Blood, and Hexagon, along with at least a thousand Soul Beasts of varying sizes, moved in perfect unison. They tilted their heads up slightly, all looking toward the sky.

A pale blue, eerie Starlight stained the overcast clouds, casting a sinister pall over everything.

Below, a behemoth nearly 2,000 meters long hovered silently in mid-air as massive amounts of Dark Energy gathered upon its body from all directions.

A terrifying Spiritual Pressure radiated in all directions. This time, even the surrounding Wall of Nether Fire fluctuated violently, as if it could shatter at any moment under the almost tangible pressure.

Throughout Night Nether City, every Soul Beast with the Dark Attribute prostrated itself on the ground. As if facing a natural predator, they trembled, gazing at the terrifying presence in the sky with panicked expressions.

"Such terrifying Spiritual Pressure... I’m afraid it’s even more dreadful than the might exuded by a Middle Monarch."

The somber Dark Energy billowed, causing the Gold Fire around Sage’s body to roil. He stared at the boiling Spiritual Tide in the sky, his expression complicated.

"I have to admit, the Alataku People’s expertise in cultivating Dark Type Soul Beasts is a notch above our Witch Spirit Race’s," Hom added with a nod.

"Hmph, I don’t think it’s entirely the legacy of the Alataku People. For this Gray Demon Whale to have grown so powerful, that kid Han Ning’s contribution is undeniable. The humans’ Beast Taming legacy also played a crucial role in this."

"Humans..."

Speaking of humans, Hom couldn’t help but turn and glance at the few standing nearby. They looked utterly unremarkable—small, slender, and short.

It was these ordinary-looking people who had actually managed to raise a newborn Gray Demon Whale to the Lord Limit in just over half a year. Such a feat would have been incredibly difficult to achieve even in the Elemental Capital where she had lived in her previous life.

"It would be one thing if it were just Han Ning’s exceptional Talent, but compared to him, that kid Zhou Mingkai’s is even more astonishing," Sage said with emotion. "In half a year, he not only mastered the entire set of supportive Spiritual Array structures for the Gray Demon Whale, but he’s also capable of deeply optimizing them. I must admit, my own Talent was nowhere near his when I was young."

To Sage, who had lived for an eternity, Zhou Mingkai, a man in his early fifties, was naturally just a "little guy."

Meanwhile, Zhou Mingkai, who wore a pair of black Spiritual Glasses, watched the distorted characters constantly refreshing on the lenses and gently pushed up his frames.

"Now that Grey has successfully broken through to Upper Lord, it’s time to hurry up and install the remaining Spiritual Arrays and electronic support systems on him."

"Teacher Zhou, what’s the current progress on our electronic central control system?"

Han Ning, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but ask after overhearing Zhou Mingkai’s muttering.

The electronic central control system he mentioned was a monitoring and control system developed by Zhou Mingkai. He created it by studying the Spiritual Array knowledge of the two races, combining it with human hardware and software, and incorporating knowledge from multiple other disciplines. It could collect various data points from the Gray Demon Whale’s body in real-time and observe basic external conditions.

Although the Alataku People possessed profound expertise in Spiritual Arrays and Soul Beast cultivation, their data integration capabilities were clearly inferior to those of humans.

The original central control device for a Gray Demon Whale required several Tier Three Beastmasters to stay in a command room covered in Spiritual Arrays. They would send commands to personnel stationed in various areas via an Array similar to a short-range communication device, who would then carry out the operations.

This method of command and observation was fine in principle, but it clearly lacked deeper detail. Both the efficiency of personnel deployment and its risk resilience were extremely low.

"Time is tight. The core functions are developed, but it’s still in the testing phase. We’ll need a few days to see if our hardware is easily damaged by Grey’s Spiritual Energy fluctuations as an Upper Lord, and whether any errors will occur..."

"It’s a shame we lack the equipment and software to train an AI. Otherwise, the entire system could be monitored with AI assistance."

"Okay. If you need any help, please let me know right away."

Han Ning nodded, thinking to himself,

’AI... I wonder if digital Soul Beasts exist in this world. Since Spiritual Bodies are real, maybe digital Soul Beasts could actually exist...’

He remembered discussing this with Sage before, but the Witch Spirit Race’s tech tree clearly hadn’t gone down the path of the information age. Even someone as powerful as Sage knew nothing about digital Soul Beasts.

The crowd waited quietly for the powerful pressure pervading the sky to dissipate.

A few minutes later, the Spiritual Pressure gradually vanished. All the dense Dark Particles that had gathered nearby flowed into Grey’s body. Aside from the surging Dark Spiritual Energy that Grey was now automatically breathing in and out from the void, the commotion from the breakthrough had subsided.

Its body length ultimately surpassed 2,000 meters, reaching an astonishing length of about 2,300 meters.

"BWOOOOAH~"

Accompanied by a Whale Roar that pierced the clouds, Grey swayed its enormous Body and slowly descended onto the platform’s surface.

It turned its head slightly, its bright eyes gazing at the humans before it. Gratitude shone from its pupils; it understood that these people were the ones who had helped it grow so powerful.

"Grey, how are you feeling?"
