After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

A land far distant from Great Xia.

White Moon Giant City, a city built atop a mountain peak.

There were few buildings within the city walls, essentially an open plain that could be seen at a glance from end to end.

Only in the corners and city walls were there passages leading to the underground city, where the natives of White Moon Giant City emerged at night and retreated underground during the day.

At nightfall, countless natives in white robes kneeled and kowtowed respectfully, their figures especially solemn under the moonlight.

The moon in the sky cast a soft glow, like a mother's gentle hand, veiling White Moon Giant City in a hazy layer that added an air of mystery and sanctity.

In the Exotic Region, the sun and the moon appeared punctually every day, bringing light and darkness to the land.

And as the night deepened, the moonlight gradually brightened, illuminating the entire city with a faint morning light.

In the center of the city square stood a massive crescent moon statue.

Under the moonlight, the statue seemed to come to life.

With the natives' worship, the statue radiated a white luminescence, gentle and mysterious, as if communicating with the moon in some secret dialogue.

The luminescence grew more intense over time, like a torch set ablaze, shooting straight to the sky.

At that moment, the light from the statue and the moon in the sky seemed to merge, as if the entire city was enveloped by this mysterious force.

The moon at this moment, as if sensing the people's praise, shone with a mystical gleam.

This light was different from the usual soft glow, and instead was a much brighter, purer light.

It was as if a gentle goddess scattered her brilliance across the night sky.

Bursts of spiritual light overflowed from the moon, seeming to carry a mysterious power that influenced the tides in all the seas of the Exotic Region.

At that moment, every water body in the Exotic Region, from distant oceans to nearby lakes, felt the surge of this power.

The sea began to churn, and the tides swelled as if answering the moon's call.

"Success, the God of the Moon has responded to our prayers," said an old man in the crowd, wearing a white robe with five golden stripes on its back, his eyes brimming with tears.

The people of White Moon Giant City had worshipped the God of the Moon for generations, and at last, they received a divine response.

Furthermore, it was accomplished during his lifetime. Even if he entered the Netherworld after death and met the preceding High Priests, he could proudly say that the longstanding goal of the White Moon Temple had been achieved in his generation.

He turned his head to a middle-aged man not far behind and said, "Qi, your methods really worked. I promise, our White Moon Giant City will form an alliance with your Great Xia."

"I merely offered some insignificant advice; the main credit goes to you High Priests," replied the man known as Qi, humbly.

In the distant Exotic Region within the Great Xia, atop a mountain peak, a magnificent man wearing a white and gold dragon robe sat firmly with the presence of a dragon, the seat of his power at the summit. His aura was draconic, commanding without anger, with eight men in Jin Ye Guard Commandant red robes silently waiting on either side.

The Jin Ye Guard is a secret organization serving solely the Emperor. There are only ten Commandants in total, and only one person in Great Xia can command eight of them while clad in a dragon robe—the current Emperor, Emperor Xuan Yi.

Emperor Xuan Yi looked up at the moon, a fleeting look of satisfaction in his eyes. He knew that Qi had successfully completed the mission when he saw the change in the moonlight.

"It seems Qi has done it; it's about time," he said.

As he spoke, a mountain peak carpeted with maple leaves burst into activity. The entire mountain of maple leaves swirled, suddenly lifting into the air. Countless red leaves intertwined in the void, spinning and fluttering as if controlled by an invisible hand. Gradually, they outlined the slender shape of a dragon.

The Giant Dragon suddenly opened its mouth and inhaled sharply, causing the moonlight around it to be drawn in as if summoned, flowing into its maw.

The moonlight circled within the Giant Dragon, merging with it, making the maple leaves that formed the dragon even more vibrant, as if coated with a mysterious sheen.

At this moment, it shone together with the moon in the sky, seemingly establishing a connection between the two.

As the moonlight continued to pour in, the aura of the maple-leaf Giant Dragon grew more powerful, like the rising tide of the sea, stronger and stronger.
Your adventure continues at empire

Finally, when the aura reached a critical point, there was a loud boom as if thunder had exploded in the void.

This thunderous sound, like the shock of thunder from the ninth heaven, echoed for miles around.

Boom!

The vitality of all the trees in the mountain range was stirred, converging towards the Giant Dragon. These streams of life force eventually merged into a vast sea, flowing into the body of the dragon.

The aura of the Giant Dragon continued to soar.

Its eyes gleamed sharply, like two stars, and on its forehead appeared a crescent moon mark, unnoticed until now.

The gargantuan body undulated and wrapped around the mountain, its head inclined slightly towards Emperor Xuan Yi.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" said the surrounding Commandants with reverence.

Your Majesty has ascended to the heavens through Beast Taming, stepping over that threshold into a higher Realm.

"Mm, let's return," said Emperor Xuan Yi, his countenance showing neither joy nor anger, merely nodding slightly.

Tonight, the moonlight over the Great Xia was much brighter than usual.

Chen Xing stood by the window, looking out at the celestial phenomenon in the sky.

Just a short while ago, the sky had been brightly illuminated, but in no time at all, the bright moonlight had dimmed. Yet even this dimming was only relative to the prior brilliance.
