Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 483: Chapter 478: Opening of the Holy Light Festival

Seeing Bai Qi was referring to him, Wu Yi lifted his head a bit defiantly, saying, “Our Wu family also holds shares in the Bo Ge Consortium. Of course, I can attend the Holy Light Festival.”

“I see…”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood. The Wu family really had a wide circle of friends. They had stakes not only in Xia’s Group but also in the Bo Ge family?

“Wu’s Financial Group is an investment group, almost every consortium has accepted their investment to some extent, that’s quite normal.”

Zhuge Chen explained to Bai Qi, who then remembered.

It seemed that Wu Yi’s pet beast was a Goddess of Light Butterfly, a rare pet beast elsewhere. From the looks of it, perhaps he acquired it from the Bo Ge family.

“Wu Yi, long time no see.”

As expected, seeing Wu Yi appear, Dean also took the initiative to greet him. However, Wu Yi seemed a bit wary of Dean, withdrew his neck involuntarily after responding.

“Since all of you know each other, do come along with me.”

Dean nodded slightly at a member of the Bo Ge family who was guiding, and then continued to lead the group forward.

“I didn’t expect to run into you here, ever since Jade Dream was launched, the paparazzi have been crazily looking for you.”

Wang Yun looked at Bai Qi with a smile, saying, “If they knew that I could see you, a popular figure, up close, they would probably die of envy.”

“It’s not that exaggerated…”

Bai Qi scratched his head. He was most afraid of encountering such a situation, although this was the Bo Ge family’s territory, there should be no paparazzi.

“By the way, Xiaoshi originally wanted to find you. Now that we’ve met, let’s talk about it.”

Wang Yun pulled Li Shi, who was next to her. Li Shi’s face turned red as she became conscious and saw Bai Qi and the others all staring at her.

“Damn! Damn! Damn!!!”

Seeing Li Shi like this, Wu Yi clenched his teeth with hatred. However, considering Bai Qi’s current power and status, he felt helpless.

Because of Bai Qi, Xia’s Group had stopped cooperating with Wu’s family. The reason was his past conflicts with Bai Qi.

And now, the goddess whom he had been pursuing without success was showing such a girlish attitude towards Bai Qi, how could he not be jealous?

“Um, is there anything you would like to say?”

Bai Qi was a bit puzzled, unable to understand why Li Shi was acting like this.

Luckily, Li Shi reminded herself of the matter at hand, “Our Li family also watched the opening ceremony of the Super God Evolution Research Institute, we are very interested in your Super God Evolution No. 1 Agent, we would like to cooperate with the institute, but your parents seemed to be very busy and didn’t respond.”

“My parents?”

Bai Qi twitched at the corner of his eyes. Trying to get in touch with his parents was less likely than winning the Federation lottery.

“I heard about this matter, but it was later handed over to the biology group, so I didn’t interfere much.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xu also recalled the matter. After a thought, he whispered to Bai Qi, “Although Li’s business is not large, they always take the elite route. They are absolutely top-notch in the pharmaceutical industry. If we can reach a cooperation, it will be very beneficial for us.”

“I see…”

Bai Qi nodded slightly. The potions were very helpful to the Beast Masters. He used to drink potions a lot, but later he had Gamma for healing and Cordyceps for mana recovery, and gradually gave up on them.

If they could develop products similar to Super God Evolution’s No. 1 Agent, it would be of great help to the Super God Evolution Research Institute.

“I have no problem with the cooperation, but for specific cooperation details, please find Uncle Zhuge.”

Bai Qi pointed at Zhuge Xu, and Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief and stopped speaking.

She was not good at this kind of business dealings. If she hadn’t run into Bai Qi and been encouraged by Wang Yun, she probably wouldn’t have brought it up.

Fortunately, this matter was settled now.

Everyone was quiet and soon arrived at their rooms.

“You all will rest here overnight. I will come tomorrow to take you to the opening of the Holy Light Festival.”

Dean bowed slightly to the crowd, then turned and left. Bai Qi and others had no interest in hanging around, they all greeted and returned to their rooms to rest.

“Holy Light Festival…Divine Nature…”

Bai Qi lay down on the bed, thinking about the Holy Light Festival tomorrow.

Although he was not clear about what this Divine Nature was, since Zhuge Xu had mentioned it, it must be useful.

He didn’t know how many Divine Natures there were, if there was only one then he would leave it for Zhuge Chen.

The Divine Nature was merely a speed boost for him. But if it could help Zhuge Chen awaken his talent, it would be a big win.

“I wonder how the Holy Light Festival will be held, perhaps…Gamma could gain a few more Angel’s Wings”

Bai Qi looked at the giant angel statue outside the window, spontaneously had this thought, but quickly gave it up.

“Forget it, keep a low profile on someone else’s territory, just get the Divine Nature.”

“This Bo Ge family is also not a good place…”

…

The next day.

Bai Qi woke up early, only to find that Dean and father and son Zhuge Chen were already downstairs waiting.

“So early?”

Bai Qi looked at the sky; it wasn’t even lit yet. He thought he woke up early enough this time, but he was still late.

“The Holy Light Festival begins at first light, so it starts a bit earlier. I apologize for not emphasizing this to Master Bai Qi and disrupting your rest,” Dean said with an apologetic nod. Bai Qi felt a bit embarrassed.

Apparently, they did mention it yesterday, but he had forgotten as soon as he turned his head.

“I should be the one apologizing.”

Bai Qi shook his head and said, “Is there still time for us to make it now?”

Dean looked out the window, nodded, and said, “If we leave now, we should make it right on time.”

“Then let’s hurry.”

On Bai Qi’s words, he immediately went downstairs, leaving Father and Son Zhuge Chen looking helpless.

Every member of this family seemed to be in such a hurry.

…

Since the Holy Light Festival was about to begin, there were hardly any people on their way, and a bit of light had gradually appeared in the sky.

When Bai Qi and the others arrived at the square, the first ray of dawn fell on the forehead of the Six-winged Angel statue.

The vast Angel statue suddenly lit up, and a soft Holy Light emitted from the Six-winged Angel, casting its rays on everyone present.

The Holy Light was incredibly warm, and upon being exposed to it, Bai Qi felt as if he had returned to his days as a fetus — it was warm, relaxing, and inviting…

Hum, Hum, Hum…

At this moment, the Evolution Egg suddenly started to vibrate violently. Bai Qi instantly snapped out of that relaxed state, looking at the angel statue with increased wariness.

Just now, he actually had a fleeting desire to join the Holy Light, and even his inherent wariness towards the Bo Ge family had gradually eased.

“What is this Holy Light Festival? It looks more like a brainwashing ceremony.”

Bai Qi became more vigilant, and immediately turned to Zhuge Chen and Zhuge Xu beside him, only to find that Zhuge Chen seemed to be yearning for the light.

However, Zhuge Xu’s gaze was clear, and he appeared unaffected.

“You noticed too?”

Seeing Bai Qi awaken, Zhuge Xu flashed a look of admiration and said, “The Bo Ge family has always liked to do such things. But, as long as you’re determined, it won’t affect you.”

Stretching his neck, Zhuge Xu continued, “Besides, the effect of this Holy Light is way better than most medical doctors. It has even cured my cervical spondylosis.”

Bai Qi nodded in realization. Aside from the force that seemed to want to assimilate his consciousness, he indeed felt in optimal physical condition after being illuminated by the Holy Light.

After the first ray of the dawn, the sun gradually emerged from the clouds, illuminating the Six-winged Angel statue completely.

At the same time, a white gate of light appeared in front of everyone.

“The Gate of Holy Light!”

All the members of the Bo Ge family in the square displayed joyous expressions, and those in the know seemed a bit surprised.

The Bo Ge family held the Holy Light Festival annually in the early spring, but the Gate of Holy Light rarely opened. However, every time it did, the Bo Ge family would have at least one Beast Master capable of controlling an Angel.

The last time it opened was ten years ago. Because of that, the Bo Ge family had gained three Angel Beast Tamers: Dean, Lilith, and Ellis.

And this time, another angel would be contracted.

“Our luck seems to be quite good this time, this year’s Holy Light Festival might be quite lively,” Zhuge Xu said, slightly nodding his head. He turned to Bai Qi and continued, “Bai Qi, you might have the chance to covenant an Angel.”

“An Angel?”

Bai Qi pursed his lips, showing minimal interest.

He had watched Gamma tear open the Judgement Angel to reveal its true form — the Paradise Bird. In simple terms, while these Angels were powerful, they were merely special entities that nested within other organisms.

Even if he did come across one, Bai Qi supposed he would just hand it over to Gamma for absorption.

It was just an Angel, right? He had a Demon, too.

After the Gate of Holy Light opened, a blonde man descended from the sky with the help of a Six-winged Angel. The members of the Bo Ge family bowed their heads when they saw the man appear.

It was as though they were saluting the man or perhaps worshipping the Six-winged Angel.

“Welcome everyone to the Bo Ge family’s Holy Light Festival. I can clearly sense your longing for the Holy Light. The opening of the Gate of Holy Light is the best proof,” said the man.

He paused, then said, “However, because of the appearance of the Gate of Holy Light, we may need to make some adjustments to the festival.”

The man walked up to the Gate of Holy Light and declared, “I, Michael Boger, hereby announce that the assessment of this Holy Light Festival will be conducted within the Gate of Holy Light.”

The moment Michael made this announcement, the crowd erupted into an uproar.

Entering the Gate of Holy Light — that was a privilege only members of the Bo Ge main family held. Was it now open even to outsiders?
