When Bai He finished speaking, Shi Yu wasn't surprised at all, because only such an identity could explain Bai He's mysteriousness and specialty. Whew… Shi Yu took a deep breath, looked at Bai He, and said, "Okay, Teacher Bai He, teach me."

"You accept that pretty quickly." Bai He was speechless when she heard Shi Yu even call her "Teacher."

"Haha, not bad, not bad." Shi Yu smiled sheepishly. He possessed flexible principles and the ability to quickly assess situations and latch onto the right person. This could be considered one of his few advantages. If he could resolve everything without fighting, he'd even call the Empress "Mom." After all, he was an orphan in both lives and had no moral baggage. He couldn't forsake power for the sake of dignity, right?

"Alright, I'll tell you everything I know." Bai He looked at the Morning Star and said, "There are two ways to quickly increase your strength right now. One is for you and your pets to fuse with the Source of Transcendence. This can be ruled out first, as it's not suitable for your current situation. Fusing with the Source of Transcendence is like being marked by the universe. It's not impossible, but now isn't the best time."

"The second is to completely unify the power systems of the two eras within you."

"As for what level of strength you can reach after the two powers within you are completely unified, I can't say for sure right now."

"Mainly because I'm not sure how strong your potential really is."

"Then what should I do…" Shi Yu asked. "I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of the power of the last era, but I still can't perfectly integrate it."

Bai He said, "Can you summon all your pets?"

"Yeah." Shi Yu nodded and summoned all his contracted pets, from Eleven, Worm, to Lilac and Qi. Each of them came out and stared intently at Bai He, wondering how strong this Bai He was… How did she compare to the Empress?

"As expected, you have a lot of pets." Bai He saw the pile of pets Shi Yu had contracted, especially when she saw Shi Yu Beast and Bullseye, she paused and stared a little longer. "Preserving your past life's body in this way, you must have been a formidable figure in the last era." Bai He looked at Shi Yu Beast and said.

"You guys aren't bad either." Shi Yu exchanged pleasantries. "Maybe we were even comrades who fought against the end of the era in our past lives."

"If you want to build connections, go build them with the Empress. It's key to make her believe." Bai He laughed. "Besides, we aren't resisters."

"Here." At this time, Bai He looked at Shi Yu's pile of pets and said, "Since you can't perfectly integrate with your past life's body, you should have some ideas yourself, right? Tell me about them."

"Pets." Shi Yu said, "I've contracted a bunch of pets with this body, but the body from my past life doesn't have obvious connections with them."

"My current body has completely become the shape of a pet beast, but the shape of my past life's body hasn't changed much, so the inconsistent shapes of the two sides cause them to be unable to perfectly integrate."

"Hmm…" Not only Bai He was silent, but Eleven and the others were also silent. What kind of terrible metaphor was that? Shi Yu was the one who changed their shapes, but he was blaming them?

"I understand what you mean, and it's similar to what I wanted to express…" Bai He said, "The reason why your past life's body and your current body still can't match is because of your pets."

"The pets contracted with you will generate some rejection when your current body and your past life's body are fused."

"I'm afraid the only one that won't reject your past life's body is that little monkey, Bullseye."

"Ooh-ah!" The red monkey in the pet group crossed its arms behind it.

Eleven glared at it unkindly and suddenly turned its head. This little monkey had become restless lately! How could every new teammate develop inexplicable ambitions! Eleven couldn't understand. Just be a good stick!

"Because it's very special. It not only contracted with your past life's body, but also contracted with your current reincarnated body. If you only contracted with it, then there's no doubt that the two bodies can now perfectly integrate. But unfortunately, you have other pets."

Shi Yu said, "So, if I want to truly and perfectly integrate with my past life's body, I have to let this bear, that worm, that ginseng, do what that monkey did and complete a contract with my past life's body, right?"

Ginseng Baby and the others sighed when Shi Yu didn't even bother to call their names. When all my pets have completed contracts with not only my current body but also my previous body, then I'll be able to complete the fusion.

"That's right." Bai He said, "That's correct."

"Is that so." Shi Yu said, "Then how should I make the other pets… replicate what happened to that little monkey?"

Bai He said, "Your cosmic beast should have accidentally entered a Era Relic and been contaminated with the aura of the last era, right?"

"This aura transformed its physique to be closer to the lifeforms of the last era."

"Therefore, your past life's body can normally contract with it. If you want to do the same thing, then let your other pets also be contaminated with this aura to slightly evolve their physiques."

"Yeah, that power is the remnant of the last era, called Era Breath. Like the Source of Transcendence, it is a special substance in the Era Relic. If you want to find it, you can go to an Era Relic and try your luck."

"Even if normal life encounters Era Breath, it won't have much of an impact on them because their life forms have already stabilized. Only new life is easily affected and transformed by Era Breath."

"But don't worry, you can use that Samsara Fruit to turn your pets into unstable infant forms to absorb Era Breath."

"Of course, although doing so can increase their strength, there are also drawbacks. The stronger the traces of the last era, the more likely you are to encounter the rejection of this era's cosmic consciousness."

"But it's not a big problem. With me here, I'll help you solve it."

"Okay." Shi Yu's head hurt. If he had known, he would have traveled through time later. He originally had a plan to look for the relic that Bullseye's parents accidentally entered. That Era Relic must have Era Breath. His original idea was to make Eleven and the others able to contract with Shi Yu Beast like Bullseye, so as to enjoy two property feedbacks. But now it seemed that in addition to the two property feedbacks, the key to whether he and Shi Yu Beast could perfectly fuse seemed to also be related to whether Shi Yu Beast could contract with Eleven and the others.

It wasn't too late. This spacetime also had the Era Relic that Bullseye's parents entered. Finding it would solve everything.

"Do you have any ideas?" Bai He asked.

"I plan to find Era Breath, but I might have to enter a dangerous relic, and the relic's location might be a bit far. In terms of time…"

"As long as you can find the relic, I'll escort you there and help you crack the relic." Bai He said calmly.

"It's settled then."

Shi Yu looked at Lilac and said, "Let's do it."

"Mimi!" Lilac immediately flew out and manifested its hands, circling around the cosmic beast Bullseye like a shaman.

"Here!" Shi Yu threw a super-god-level cosmic crystal to Lilac as the energy source for its prediction.

"Mi! Welcome the Cat Teachers to descend!" Lilac opened its mouth after eating the crystal. At this time, Lilac kept spinning around Bullseye, and starlight filled the surroundings of Bullseye. Soon, infinite starlight outlined two figures.

"Oh, do I have to use my power again?"

"Hmph, take it." The power projections of the Gem Cat Teacher and the Prediction Owl Teacher were summoned by Lilac. They all had Star Contracts with Lilac, so even if they weren't by Shi Yu's side, Shi Yu still possessed these two invincible assistants. Although Lilac wasn't even a Era God, with the special nature of a planetary life and using cosmic crystals as an energy source, the Gem Cat and Owl projections it summoned by exhausting its world power wouldn't be any less skilled than their true selves.

"The Stargazing Clan, the Praying Star Clan." Bai He showed a surprised expression. She didn't expect that Shi Yu, a small planetary pet, could summon the power projections of the two special races under the Realm King. She seemed to understand what Shi Yu was going to do. Now Shi Yu wanted to use the power of the Gem Cat and the Owl to divination the location of the Era Relic that Bullseye had contacted.

Under the incredible divination, some image information appeared in Shi Yu's mind, and Lilac also turned into a crystal ball with many images appearing on its body.

"Giant Beast Empire." Shi Yu said, "It is said that the location of this relic is changing. It is now located on the border of the Giant Beast Empire. Our luck is not bad. At the previous speed, it is not far from us. Teacher Bai He."

Shi Yu looked at Bai He, meaning…

"Alright, then I'll accompany you on another trip. Is that little fellow okay?" She looked at Lin: "Stop, I haven't recovered yet."

"Lin protested.

"I'll help you recover." Bai He said.

"No-" Lin seemed to finally have a nemesis.

Not long after, Shi Yu and the others set off again to find the relic with Era Breath. And within the Morning Star, the Psychic Empress stood on the attic, watching the starry sky with a slight frown. "Could it be that she wants to…"

Following the guidance of the divination, Shi Yu and the others didn't waste much time during the voyage…. Although Bai He's strength might not be as good as the Psychic Empress, as an individual separated from the Psychic Empress, her strength was bound to be no less. Perhaps she even had the peak of the Era God realm. Anyway, Shi Yu couldn't see through her.

Under Bai He's protection, Shi Yu and the others moved very quickly and soon arrived at a remote starry sky. This place didn't seem to be any different from other starry sky areas, but Shi Yu knew that hidden behind this starry sky was a small world fragment originating from the last era, also known as the Era Relic.

Shi Yu retracted his pets and stood side by side with Bai He in the starry sky. Bai He didn't seem to intend to take action to open the relic, but waited for Shi Yu to solve it himself… Shi Yu indeed didn't find it difficult to solve this kind of small matter. He immediately activated his "Time Immemorial" ability.

In the next moment, the entire starry sky began to vibrate, and countless temporal cracks seemed to cut this starry sky out of this place! At the same time, countless black mists poured out from the temporal cracks. These black mists had very strange power fluctuations. Shi Yu felt that most gods might not be able to resist them. This was resentment.

"The unwillingness of the powerhouses who died in the last era." Bai He said, "The resentment combined with the power of time and space formed the relic space. Being entangled by these resentments will affect consciousness, like being covered in filth."

She waved her hand lightly, and all the black mist immediately turned into nothingness. At this time, the entire surrounding world also shattered like a mirror, creating a new world. Shi Yu and the others had now completely entered the relic.

Next, he just needed to find the Era Breath, right?

"Uh huh." Bai He replied "This relic is not really dangerous, the Era Breath is also very strong."

"There are no dangers, but only for us." Shi Yu said. He closed his eyes slightly to explore everything in this relic. All around was the collapse of heaven and earth, and countless powerhouses wanted to resist but could never escape the coming of the end of the world. Shi Yu could feel their strong resentment towards the consciousness of the universe.

"These people can be collectively called resisters."

"And we can be collectively called escapers." Bai He said, "The reincarnation of the universe is actually the autonomous choice of the universe. It is equivalent to some beings whose lifespans are approaching the end choosing to reincarnate and start over from a cub."

"The universe doesn't want to usher in true death, so it can only sacrifice everything it has to reincarnate and restart itself. According to our archaeological discoveries, a billion years is far from the true lifespan limit of the universe, but after this time, the state of the universe will begin to decline, approaching true death and termination. To avoid this situation, the universe has to restart itself at this point in time."

"And these resisters are people who are dissatisfied with the universe's consciousness' choice. They believe that the universe still has a very long lifespan, so why choose to self-destruct and restart at this time? Those powerhouses who were unwilling to die with the universe chose to resist the universe's will."

"But the result is obvious. Except for cosmic-level lifeforms that can have some impact on the universe's will, it is difficult for other lifeforms to resist the universe's will. Even if it's a cosmic-level lifeform, the final result of resistance is the same."

"And the reason why people like us are called escapers is also the title bestowed by those resisters."

"We don't dare to be enemies with the universe's will. We chose to look for loopholes in the universe's restart, hoping to survive to the next era. There are actually countless people who choose this way. However, of all the traversers who can truly cross the era and come to the next era, only one in a billion succeeds. Most of them die during the universe's restart."

"So, I have to say that you and I are lucky. We are the only beings among this group of 'escapers' who have successfully come to this era." Bai He said, "Now you know why I rejected you when you said, 'We are not comrades who resist the end of the world,' right?"

"What? I'm actually an escaper." Shi Yu said, "I thought I would be a super powerhouse who says, 'My fate is up to me, not the heavens,' and fights the universe's will to the death."

Bai He was silent. Did you believe that yourself? So you must be enlivening the atmosphere, right?

Lin and the other pets were also silent. Based on their understanding of Shi Yu, how could this be related to Shi Yu? Finding a way to slip away when encountering an irresistible danger is Shi Yu's style. Living is more important than anything else. Just kidding.

"Sure enough." The next moment, Shi Yu also smiled and said, "Okay."

As Bai He spoke, countless light gray Era Breath had been condensed by her power. She said, "The rest is up to you."

"Got it." Bullseye, you come and guide Eleven and the others, no problem… right?

"Okay." Bullseye said.

"Yi-ya." Next, Ginseng Baby began to stretch out its fingers and randomly tap Eleven and the others. When its skill level reached this point, the form of power was no longer limited to fruits. As long as the opponent was not strong or did not resist, it could perform the power of Samsara on them from a distance.

At this time, under Ginseng Baby's guidance, Eleven immediately shrank and became a transcendent-level panda cub that wasn't even as tall as a person's knees. It was whimpering and yelling on the meteorite. Red Eyes turned into a little loli, and Little Machine even turned into a chicken-like dinosaur. Of course, Duckie couldn't escape the fate of becoming a platypus.

Soon, each of Shi Yu's pets returned to their baby forms. If it weren't for the protection of Shi Yu's power, it would be a problem to stay in the starry sky at this time.

"Good luck!" In Bai He's words of encouragement, Shi Yu and the others began to efficiently use Era Breath to transform their physiques. First was Eleven, then Worm, and then Ginseng Baby. Just like that, after a month, all of Shi Yu's pets had completed the transformation of their Era Physique.

It was said to be evolution, but after they were done, they basically didn't feel any essential changes on their bodies. But at this time, Shi Yu truly felt that Shi Yu Beast seemed to be able to contract with them.

"Good, continue." Shi Yu said, "You should be able to improve again after the contract."

Bai He watched the whole process for a month and occasionally gave pointers. Seeing that Shi Yu had completed a round of cultivation, she said, "Remember to be careful of the Thunder Tribulation."

"Yeah, your subsequent breakthrough progress may be a bit fierce."

Shi Yu, feeling a sense of urgency, began to have Eleven and the others line up like Bullseye to complete the contract with Shi Yu Beast.

"Roar!" Eleven finished checking in and felt that its physical fitness was even stronger, as if it had received feedback from Shi Yu Beast. And Shi Yu Beast itself also improved a bit, but not as much as Eleven's improvement.

And after Shi Yu Beast and Eleven became stronger, Shi Yu himself naturally received feedback. It was a win-win-win.

Immediately after, Worm, Ginseng Baby, Red Eyes, Su Su, Lin… Little Machine, Duckie, Lilac, Qi, Short-legged Cat, Little Ice Tortoise, and Sun God. One by one, Shi Yu's pets successively contracted with Shi Yu Beast, and Shi Yu Beast and them also received feedback from each other. Under Shi Yu's situation of also drinking soup, after a round of contracts, Shi Yu immediately felt the changes in his body.

He had just broken through the 14th heaven not long ago, and at this time, he hadn't even fused with Shi Yu Beast. Shi Yu Beast had just contracted with all the pets he had contracted, and he relied on the contract connection with Shi Yu Beast to loosen his bottleneck again. The shadow of the 15th heaven vaguely appeared.

"I'm seeing you for the first time like this." Bai He, who was next to him, kept marveling as he saw Shi Yu about to break through to the 15th heaven of the God level. And this seemed to be just the beginning.

After Shi Yu Beast contracted with all of Shi Yu's pets, its compatibility with Shi Yu finally reached the point where both sides were perfectly compatible, enough for a perfect fusion. This time, Shi Yu's fusion with Shi Yu Beast through the combination method no longer had the subtle feeling of being difficult to control before.

But what was even more terrifying was that the increase brought by this fusion with Shi Yu Beast was simply unimaginable and shocked Shi Yu immensely.

Boom! Lightning illuminated the entire starry sky. The power of the incredible and powerful lightning was enough to move even the high-level Era God. It seemed to condense into a thunder fist, poised and ready to smash towards Shi Yu. The crackling lightning arcs just fell on the stars and instantly destroyed one star after another.

Being able to trigger such terrifying tribulation lightning was also related to the changes in Shi Yu's body at this time. During the process of fusion with Shi Yu Beast, Shi Yu's physique instantly reached the level of initially entering the high level of Transcendence, undergoing a qualitative change. The physical strength of Shi Yu Beast was now perfectly fused into Shi Yu's body.

In addition, Source Power, this special power, had completely become the power that Shi Yu controlled, no longer needing Shi Yu to mobilize it a second time. The increase in physical strength gave the soul, spirit, and other powers a larger space for expansion. Although the increase was not as terrifying as the physical strength, it was gradually approaching and matching the physical strength.

Rumble, it was not just the 15th heaven of the God level. After Shi Yu's two bodies fused with each other, the upper limit of his Beast Taming level was still soaring!

The 16th heaven!

The 17th heaven!

The 18th heaven!

The speed of this increase stunned Shi Yu's pets.

"That's the effect." Bai He smiled when Shi Yu's realm successively broke through to the 18th heaven of the God level. It had to be like this to have a chance to defeat the Psychic Empress.

"I'm going to cross the tribulation!"

Shi Yu shouted, "This time's tribulation lightning seems to be really powerful…"

"Roar!" Eleven and the others were also ready, preparing to assist Shi Yu at all times. This time's tribulation lightning was the accumulated lightning from breaking four realms in a row, the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th heavens. The constantly expanding thunder fist that seemed to be able to destroy the sea of stars was like a cosmic hammer smashing down, full of oppression. Just the aftermath of the swing caused a stellar storm in the entire star domain.

"As far as I know, the highest achievement of Beast Tamers at the God level in the history of this universe is the 13th heaven of the God level. It is absolutely impossible for the 13th heaven of the God level to advance to the cosmic level, let alone become the eternal maintainer of the universe."

"But you are different. You carry the power system of the last era. The combination of the power of the two eras may create a miracle that has never existed before."
