After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

After browsing for a while, Chen Xing found another piece of information that interested him. On the Jiuzhou University campus APP forum, someone mentioned the Inheritance Tower, and an older student speculated on how many levels the new students could reach this year when school starts.

But there were only a few replies to the post, showing that not many people were interested in this topic.

After learning more, Chen Xing understood that there was an Inheritance Tower inside Jiuzhou University. Some seniors said it had been brought back by a former university president from some Giant City.

This Inheritance Tower was different from those in Great Xia,

The ones in Great Xia were like standalone towers with no network connection, while the school's tower was connected to the network.

The ranking was updated in real-time, and the rewards were replenished regularly.

Chen Xing straightened out his thoughts.

Stealing someone else's tower, and they still have to regularly replenish the resources.

Alright, alright, this is the way to play it.

However, if the Inheritance Tower could spread all over the world and even operate on such a large scale, the existence behind it must be extraordinary.

If they let Great Xia take it away, it's either because they are afraid of Great Xia or they have deeper intentions.

But since the higher-ups of Great Xia don't care, it probably has no effect on a student at my level.

...

Chen Xing went to the university library.

The university library was incredibly tall, visible from kilometers away, looking like a giant egg from a distance.

Upon entering the library, the sight before him resembled a stairway to heaven extending from all sides up to the dome.

At the same time, books floated in the void above him.

These books were not just in the form of tomes; there were also bamboo slips, bone fragments, animal skins, and even carvings on stone slates.

Entering this place, Chen Xing felt like he had arrived at a grand melting pot of civilization.

Seeing the dense array of books, Chen Xing felt overwhelmed.

There were too many!

With so many books, how should he choose?

"Hey, new student, what book are you looking for?"

Suddenly, a snow-white book floated in front of Chen Xing, emitting a fluorescent glow. A semi-transparent book hovered in front of him, and standing on the spread page was a transparent mouse book spirit.

"Do you have any books that record the Void Hunters?"

"Void Hunters? What do you need those things for?"

The mouse book spirit muttered, then waved its hand.

A thick red book and four mud-yellow stone slabs floated down from above.

"These are the books in the library that mention the Void Hunters. Okay, thank you for your patronage, a hundred Academic Credits," it said, spreading its little paws expectantly.

"I'm a new student; I don't have Academic Credits," Chen Xing shook his head.

"No, you're lying! You clearly smell like you have Academic Credits! You new students are not honest at all," the book spirit pointed at Chen Xing's waist.

Academic Credits?

I don't have such a thing.

Chen Xing took out his student ID from his waist.

"Are you talking about this?"

"Exactly," said the book spirit with a wave of its hand.

To Chen Xing's surprise, a row of numbers suddenly appeared on the student ID.

10000.

The next second.

10000 turned into 9900.

"Next time you want to find a book, just call me in the library. My name is Tang, easy to remember," the book spirit said before flying into the floating books above, closing its pages, and from the outside, it looked like just another ordinary flying book.

"Dude, you got scammed by that conscienceless book spirit!" the moment Chen Xing sat down, a student next to him moved closer.

"What happened?"

"A hundred academic credits, that's almost equivalent to two hundred Spirit Gold! If you want to seek out books again, you could look for us first. I'm with the 'Book Companions Society.' Our club has been established for over a hundred years, and no matter what book you're searching for, we can find it for you. Moreover, our fee is much cheaper, just 10 academic credits!"

With a sly grin, the boy stealthily slipped Chen Xing a business card, then made a gesture of reverence towards the sky and quickly left the spot.

No sooner had he left than a thick book fell from above, barely missing his head.

Chen Xing thought for a moment, then took out his cellphone to ask his mentor if the academic credits had been given to him by her.

But after taking out his phone, he discovered there was no signal at all.

Never one to dwell on completed actions without purpose, Chen Xing put the incident aside.

He pocketed the business card and then opened the book that Book Spirit had pushed his way.

The book was titled "The Fragmented History of Evolution in the Exotic Region."

The very first sentence on the title page was printed with a passage—

No matter how powerful a species' natural talents may be, they can never escape the fate of annihilation. The universe fosters balance and opposition; even the most flourishing beings will eventually find their nemeses emerging quietly. Behind the light, darkness will breed. This is the rule of life, as well as the eternal truth of the cosmos.

On the table of contents, Chen Xing found the Void Clan.

After flipping through, Chen Xing gained a certain understanding of the Void species.

In ancient times, two species lived within the Rift Abyss: the Void Clan and the Mirror Guard Clan.

As time went on, both species grew stronger, and ultimately, a conflict erupted over resources and living environments.

The Void Clan was defeated and fled to the starry sea.

Yet this opened Pandora's box. In the vast starry sea, with no natural predators to check them, the Void Clan thrived like fish in water.

Leveraging their innate ability to travel through space, the Void Clan rapidly expanded in the absence of predators.

They were called by numerous species—the Shadow of the Starry Sky.

This clan was naturally born assassins and masters of manipulating space.

But then, virtually overnight, the Void Clan was ambushed.

The Mirror Guard Clan returned to action, and the Void Clan's ability to travel through space met its match against the Mirror Guard Clan's ability to stabilize the void, like a spear against a shield.

The Void Clan was ruthlessly slaughtered.

Their legacy was severed, and the species scattered.

From dominators of the starry sea, they were reduced to a minor clan of a mere handful of survivors.

There wasn't much written about the Void Clan. In a book of over a thousand pages, less than one page was used to recount the entire history of the Void Clan.

If each page represented a once prominent and mighty species that had reigned supreme in the Exotic Region, then how many such great species were recorded in this book?

Chen Xing set this book aside for the moment.

Then he picked up four other stone slabs.

The slabs depicted a creature with a unique appearance.

Its head was somewhat shark-like, its body aerodynamically shaped, with long "ribbons" on either side that ended in sharp, Curved Knife-like tips.

It had no legs, but had a serpentine and muscular lower half, its slender body resembling a flat sword.

This was the image on the first stone slab, and on the second slab...

The creature's tail passed through a "round hole."

On the third slab, a bovine monster in humanoid form appeared on a volcano, and behind it, a "round hole" appeared from which a sharp sword emerged, piercing through the chest of the bovine creature.

On the fourth stone slab, the bovine creature lay fallen on the volcano.

But from the volcano behind it, a huge claw stretched out, its wrist almost as thick as the mouth of the volcano.

Beneath each stone slab was corresponding text.

This text was not in any language Chen Xing knew.

But considerately, at the bottom of the slabs, there was a little sticky note, translating all the above text.

"The Melt Mountain Divine Child attempted to absorb the power of a billion lava flows from Li Lake Volcano, to unleash the second volcanic catastrophe but was assassinated by a Void Hunter on the summit of Li Lake Volcano."

That fierce, huh?

So, this odd-looking creature must be the Void Hunter.

But what is this second volcanic catastrophe? Since it's the second, there must have been a first, right?

Li Lake Volcano— that must be a place name."

And this Divine Child, with a title like that, must at least be a being of the Ascension level.
