Quest Maker: 415

Title: Initial Phase

“Look!” Ja Sun proudly presents while holding Ja Liang above his head with his hands, and Oscar Jr. and Hu Liena telekinetically, “This is the future!” The trio of infants babble wide-eyed, hawing and cheering loudly to feel the sensation of flying again as the rest of his crew deadpan at him.

“Aren’t you a little too excited? Honestly! You’re turning more like the children the more time you spend with them,” Hu Lana sighs, massaging her left shoulder with a pout as Xie Xan chuckles. “I think it’s better. We just have to show him some scriptures about sharing, and he’ll be even more generous.”

“It seems your group likes maintaining its balance, Dong’er,” Daoliu smiles fondly in Sun’s direction, happy to see his Disciple form such bonds with his children without letting cultivation corrupt their relationship. “While Sun acts better by the day, your other direct subordinates show tendencies similar to Ja Sun when we met him the first time.”

Lana sticks her tongue out while Jun’er yelps, “What did I do?”

“Nothing,” Oscar smiles. “You’re still my sweetest Jun’er!”

“Ah! Granddaddy~!” Jun’er mewls, embracing her husband.

Reclining over a chair, gazing upon the sweeping grassland upon which her husband spent time with the children, Bibi Dong scoffs. “Childlike? Grandmaster, he’s acting more and more like an insatiable beast with so many actual ones goading him on at the end of every corner and hallway.”

Other Spirit Beasts blush at her comments as Bibi Dong glances at Feng Liu.

“Right there,” she affirms as the eager Firebird Douluo nods gleefully, massaging Dong’s ankles while on her knees.

“So?” Leaning against Bibi Dong’s chair, indulging the usually ‘stubborn’ leader of theirs with a simultaneous head massage, Yin smiles. “That array is finally going to complete. Which means we can get two of him again.”

“A shame,” Daoliu smacks his lips. “Only Ja Sun grew for the better.”

“We don’t force him, Master,” Yin tosses a coy smirk in her master’s direction. “And don’t you enjoy spending your time faring through the seven Sea Cities? I hear you’ve even opened a stall that attracts lonely women by the masses.”

“To use your charm to sell cooked insects,” Bo Saixi derides from the sideline, mocking Daoliu, “It won’t be long till I surpass you again.”

“I’m just saying it,” Daoliu crosses his arms. “Shrimps are insects, too.”

“Why would you say that?!” The masses jeer at once, cringing.

“What’s taking so long?” Erlong speaks after a momentary silence, frowning and glancing at the distant array where Ja Sun’s other half consults his other team.

“Impatient as always,” Zi Ji scoffs.

“Shove it up your ass, pervert!” Erlong barks in retort.

“What did you call me?!”

“Enough!” Two voices pin them down as the two dragons wince, glancing at Yuehua and Bi Ji at once.

“Sorry,” they pout while glaring at one another.

“Hmph! Pathetic,” Bing Bing scorns with a smug smirk before blushing as she feels Snow patting her head, something the latter adopted after one of their many nights with Ja Sun.

“So?” Xiao Bai glances at the mother-daughter duo. “We’re sitting together because of our similar surnames?”

“Yep!” Wu grins while tickling Xie Yue.

“It’s just—” Bei’s voice is cut short as Bai scoffs. “Whose idea was it?”

The Shark has some idea. But she glares at the meek rabbit mother before hearing Bibi’s huff, “It was Lan Ruo.”

“And you let her?!” Bai stares at Bibi Dong, who shrugs. “I like Lan Ruo more. She is simple.”

“She is so not! She is manipulative, cunning, and a traitorous cunt!”

“Who isn’t?” Bibi Dong shrugs again. “And please don’t shout. I would hate to allow Lan Ruo to commit one of her more unapologetic schemes in reply to your constant ridicule.”

“Hah!” Daoliu chuckles at that. “Do you hear that, Dear Disciple? There’s a problem in your paradise.”

Ja Sun smirks while looking back, winking, “But it’s good I have a paradise, no? Just some problems accompanied by success~!”

“We spent a lot of time on this,” Ja Sun admits somberly.

“WE spent our sweat and blood carving this array while you lorded us around with her!” Ja Yin accusatorily pouts, glancing at Gu Yuena while sitting on one of the vertices of the triangular array. Irritated due to her lack of reaching the milestone of 100,000-year-old spirit beast as quickly as Violet due to her lack of understanding of soul origin.

“What do you think, Lan Ruo? Did I lord you around?” Ja Sun glances at the Demonic Whale, given one of the most luscious human forms with flowing deep-blue hair and a pair of inviting eyes that still send him knowing glances.

“Not at all, Master Sun,” she speaks softly, shamelessly burrowing her way into Ja Sun’s contact in any manner possible as Ja Yin scoffs. “Of course, she will ride your dick without even seeing it once!”

Ja Sun nods, turning to Violet. The bubbly gorgon blinks as her snake-hair perks under his attention, hissing out for him as she sits in her human form without scales, tail, or feathered wings.

“Violet, what do you think?”

Violet nods sheepishly, “Master’s guidance was necessary.”

“And she will always take your side!” crows Ja Yin, making Sun glance at Yuena.

“Do you also share Yin’s assertions?”

The Silver Dragon proudly glances at the Golden Empyrean before shrugging, “Not one bit. As the inventor of the array, she is the one who needs to spend her all in the first place.”

“You all are dead to me!” Ja Yin hisses.

“As I was saying,” Ja Sun snorts. “We spent a long time and several hundred revisions to create this array. And to show it’s worth, I will need a volunteer.”

Knowing the array’s ‘True’ use, Ja Yin shifts her tune instantly, unbuttoning her top, “Say no more.”

“Master Sun,” Lan Ruo lowers her gaze, presenting herself with a slight bow to appear smaller. “I commissioned a special whip.”

‘Put a pin on that,’ Ja Sun blinks internally before scoffing, appearing unfettered by the tempting offers around him while glancing at Yuena, hoping for another offer from her side only for his intellectual peer to roll her eyes.

“This isn’t a whorehouse!” He snaps.

“A whorish spatial artifact then,” Ja Yin claims with a toothy grin, much too similar to Ja Sun’s.

“She is going to be our volunteer,” he scoffs, snapping his finger to invite a small, brown-furred creature into his artifact, surprising every spectator.

“Eevee!” The creature trills, bouncing on her four legs before nuzzling her face against Ja Sun’s ankle, blinking cutely.

The group stares at the cute monster with a creamy brown mane around its neck as it looks part dog and bunny with its long ears.

“An Eevee?” Violet is the first to speak. “Master, is she Linda?”

“You mean Pai-Pai,” Ja Yin flashes a mischievous smirk as Ja Sun groans aloud. Ah-Yin’s naming sense is her only flaw, something he accepts as a loving husband.

“Her name is Linda!” He snorts before crouching to pat her head. “I explained the situation to her. As you all know, the monsters I accidentally summoned are perceptive to evolutions and do not follow the similar constraints for Spirit Energy as you, allowing them to become better versions of themselves without becoming 1000/10,000/100,000-year-old beasts. And witnessing Violet’s breakthrough didn’t only inspire me to reduce the array’s protection.”

“For which we have a bet,” Ja Yin prompts, reminding Ja Sun. “If we suffer tribulation because of your arrogance, you’ll be our collective bitch for three days.”

“Some bet it is,” Ja Sun scoffs. “I don’t a whole lot even if I win, do I? Returning to the topic, you all know Linda. And her species is very interesting. While other foreign monsters evolve based on the concentration of their attributes, Linda’s species evolve into different species. We have seen Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, and an Umbreon. But I explained to Linda that her constraints are receptive to change.”

“Vee~!” Linda cares little for his words as she bounces into Violet’s embrace, licking the Gorgon’s cheek while nuzzling her head against her bosom at times. The Gorgon’s hair, with minds of their own, shower the tiny sweetheart with all the affection in the world.

“You’re going to fuck her?” Gu Yuena inquires bluntly.

“Are you stupid?” Ja Sun responds with equal bluntness. He shakes his head, pointing out. “She is an animal and Ja Liang’s friend! Why would I do something so horrible?! And if you’re going to think the worst of me, keep it limited to the future Ja Liang’s future girlfriend’s hot friends!” He tilts his nose upward.

“Right,” Lan Ruo remains on topic with a certain interest. “Are you saying the array is capable of defying rules other than just breeding between humans and beasts?”

Everyone besides Linda glances at Lan Ruo before Ja Yin sneers. “Did you expect anything less from my invention?”

“Ja Yin is right,” Ja Sun comments. “Did you expect anything less from someone with Ah-Yin’s good looks and my intelligence?”

Ja Yin snorts at him before smirking, “About time you admit I pull her looks better than her!”

“Not at all,” Ja Sun shrugs without missing a beat.

“Ugh! Grrr!”

“Linda agreed to become something new,” Ja Sun sighs softly. “And she understands the risks. Isn’t that right, Linda?”

The Eevee in question blinks before bouncing off Violet and nodding with a determined chirp as her fluffy cream tail perks in attention as Ja Sun.

“What lines will we cross?” Violet questions with a determined smile.

“Evolutionary ones,” Ja Sun smiles. “Back on topic, witnessing Violet’s evolution inspired something else within me. During your breakthrough, I noticed your Soul Energy transforming into a new form of Energy similar to the ones around the Foreign Monsters when they experience evolution. The Energy optimized you, allowing your body to bear the burden of heightened Spirit Energy, Core, and changes in your attribute. The wildest thing is—I didn’t notice it when other girls experienced breakthroughs. Of course, I did not always have my ninth spirit ring, and may overlooked similar instances. But I observed my Soul Origin extensively and didn’t encounter such phenomenon.”

“When Ja Sun informed me,” Gu Yuena picks the explanation, “I theorized it’s Spirit Beast’s unnoted specialty. But we quickly realized the folly of the primary theory—the Martial Souls. Martial Souls evolve similarly to Spirit Beasts. What if Humans release a similar essence when external stimuli trigger their Martial Soul’s evolution?”

“What’s your point?” Ja Yin frowns, slightly annoyed at how others consider more possibilities about her array.

“What if I broke the limits of man and beast?” Ja Sun ponders softly. “We know humans with animal features exist due to their linked ancestry with Beasttakens, and Violet here is the opposite of Beasttakens and humans with animal features. Such possibilities already exist. What’s stopping us from researching them with this array? I may not have to actively reduce my lifespan itself once I accept Yuena as my third martial soul. You girls already know the true reason behind the delay is not fear, but I’ll be incapacitated for a while. Heck, I still don’t understand the true extent of the suffering.”

“You look forward to it,” Gu Yuena can’t help but admire the human’s kinks.

“Nope!” he grins before shaking his head. “What if we can avoid that? I think it’s worth a venture. And we can start things with Linda because her case, while complicated, is also the easiest. Heck! I can probably take a few years to list a few herbs to achieve the same effects, allowing her to change her base evolution freely! And that’s despite my little understanding of alchemy and pill-making!”

He gently pets Linda’s head. “You really like Umbreon’s looks, right?” He connects with her, hearing her thoughts behind the ‘Eevee’ cries.

“Yes! He looks so cool! And he’s the only one on the Island. My father told me there are many more kinds of Eeveelutions~!”

‘Eeveelutions,’ Ja Sun smiles as he brings Linda to the center of the array. ‘That’s a cute word.’

“So, in light of all this, Ja Yin, I want to thank you. Your idea was brilliant, and I’d be happy to blow your mind out and make sure you’re pregnant once we’re done.”

The Golden Empyrean blinks before closing her eyes and huffing in annoyance. “Hmph! You said you wanted eleven kids or something, right? I demand dibs on the creation of half of them! At least!”

‘Can’t say no to that,’ Ja Sun shrugs.
