Surprisingly, despite being gone for quite a long time, the whole Beast-Tamer League and its surrounding was still clean. In fact, he even doubt that it was more clean even before he was here.

After checking for a whole moment, Cole approach and open the door.

The truth was he could open a portal inside his base, however, to avoid suspicion, he didn't do it but do the most normal approach. He open a portal near but secluded place of the Five Element Sect territory then enter as though he's normal.

Without further ado, Cole enter the familiar yet strange base of his.

However, the moment he open the door, three blue, water sword was pointed at three angles around his neck. However, instead of feeling threatened, Cole was elated.

Instantly, all of his doubts about his base vanish into thin air. It's no wonder it looks maintained, his little brother maintain it himself!

"You're back!" An excited voice reverberated to the whole building, and a hurried steps could be heard as the person get down from the upper floor.

Cole subconsciously smile and he look expectantly at the stairs.

Amazingly, in less than a second, the person arrived at stairs. He pause for a second before he lauch himself to Cole's body. The boy, or should he say a little man now, hug him tightly, as though he's afraid that he's not real, or perhaps he was just an illusion.

Cole patted Ricky's head, "Yes, I'm back..." he said, his voice a little husky with overwhelming emotions. He hugged back him seconds later.

They remain in that position for a whole minute.

When Cole felt that Ricky still don't have the intention of letting him go, he decided to summon Blue and said to the little beast, "Guard our place. We'll just do something inside the [Inner World]."

Blue nodded her furry head then find a spot on the ground floor and assume a sleeping posture.

Cole smile a little seeing this. He don't know that it have something to do with him being fox beast but on first glance, Blue looks like a harmless little beast. However, the truth was he could burn a creature into nothingness with his lightning and thunder.

He open a [Gate] and carry Ricky inside and he only stop at the front of lake.

Beside a much more wider space expansion, natural sceneries also started to form and appear inside the [Inner World], and one of that is this small lake. There were also number of hills started to form, it won't be long before mountains will appear.

Now that the whole Elm Tribe relocated inside the [Inner World], they volunteer themselves to beautify the whole place. Not because he was their new leader but because they'll live inside, they said.

And since they were Elves, the [Inner World] started to look like a small forest. Cole don't have a problem with that though.

The small lake have a very clear water, the floor of it was visible even. There were number of aquatic creatures quietly swimming on the water or resting on the floor. It could be seen at them that the lake was very rich and very suitable for life.

Seconds later, as though it felt Cole's presence, a white fish swim towards their location. It was the Swift Fish, the one Dark Forest's Dryad Spirit entrusted to him.

When the fish was distance away from them, Ricky finally raise his head and look at the lake, specifically at the approaching white fish.

Seeing this, Cole smile instantly. He don't have to worry as Ricky and the Swift Fish have a great affinity with each other. Just them being aware of each other's presence the moment they were near each other was a great proof of that.

"Big Brother..."

Cole smoothen Ricky's hair, "Do you feel some kind of connection? As if your fated with each other?"

Ricky nodded his head, "Yes, I feel exactly like that." He answered honestly.

Cole smile, "Wasn't brother promise you that I'll personally find your beast partner? Well, he's the one I managed to find for you. Of course, you could refuse if you wanted to."

"There are many number of good beast I encounter while you were gone but I don't create contracts on any of them. It's not because I'm waiting for the one you will give to me but because I don't feel the, just what you said, connection." Ricky longly stated.

He look at the white fish before he continue, "But I could feel that special connection the moment I appear him. It was very faint at first and since it was the first time and feel strange, I didn't put it into mind. However, the moment I see him, I knew that he's the one for me."

Cole patted Ricky's head, "It looks like my little brother grow up while I'm gone!" He laugh quietly for a moment before he continue with a little serious voice, "Big brother is glad that you thought of that and it's very good because, after all, the one you'll choose will accompany you for life. It's advantageous that both of you and your beast have a good start."

Then he motion Ricky towards the lake. "Go on, create a soul contract with him."

Ricky smile gratefully at his big brother before he step forward. However, he only step two times and stop. Suddenly, the water from the lake rise and a stream of water was created that was connected into Ricky's right hand. The white fish looks at it with its dumb eyes, as though it don't have a ounce of idea what it was.

"I don't know if you'll understand my word but... I want to create a soul contract with you—"

Ricky didn't even manage to finish his words when the white fish immediately swim in the raised water stream the moment it heard the sentence of creating the soul contract.

Cole smile after seeing this. This only means that despite the Swift Fish a Mortal-Rank Aquatic Beast, which according to logic don't have any intelligence with them no matter what level they reach, he already started to awaken his intelligence. However, that intelligence was a pitiful amount since the fish was still shackled by his bloodline rank. This only means that despite not being smart, it followed what its instincts tell him. It seems that it's not only Ricky feel that special connection, the little fish also felt that.

Ricky froze for few seconds with shock, however, he immediately smile widely after recover. He dive his head towards the floating blob of water, not even an ounce afraid of drowning.

When the head was totally submerged to his neck, the Swift Fish swim towards Ricky's face and affectionately rubbed its body into it.

The scene looks very refreshing, one will subconsciously smile when seeing it.

Moments later, the white fish rested its head into Ricky's forehead.

Ricky immediately run his [Heavenly Beast God] Technique and started to form the soul connection between. And since there was a natural affinity between them, the process runs smoothly as the Swift Fish didn't even try to resist.

Cole immediately teleported his self beside the Messiah Tree and touch its body and solemnly said, "Brother Messiah, please help and also bless my little brother and his new beast."

Awakening the dormant bloodline of beast might be hard for others but it was different to him since he have his greatest cheat as a beast tamer, the Messiah Tree.

After Cole said his request, the tree don't even react, as though he don't acknowledge his word.

The soul contracting between Ricky and Swift Fish was really fast; when a minute was almost up, the little chaotic momentum of the intertwining of two different soul started to stabilize. A minute later, the soul contract between the two finished connecting.

However, a new momentum rise between the two!

"This..." He said, breathless in suprise. Of course, Cole was familiar with that, it was the process of Soul Synchronization! But one should know that this was the first time that Ricky and Swift meets... or so he just thought..?

He shake his head. No! This was really the first time the two meet! Not to say 100% Loyalty, it was already amazing enough if two could have 50% starting Loyalty! Perhaps 70% with their natural affinity.

It looks like Cole have to consider the natural affinity between him and his future, to be tamed creatures. It much more important than he thought.

This time, fortunately it was the same as the logic he knew, the process of Soul Synchronization was a lot more longer.

For the first ten minutes, the connection between the two are very chaotic. Cole even worry that ths process will fail. Fortunately, after five minutes, the chaos between the two gradually declined and their momentum started to stabilize. The two started to produce a identical soul signature, signifying that it will succeed.

Cole breath a sigh of relief. He don't know what will happen with the fail Soul Synchronization, but he's sure that the soul damage will be very sever, and this will definitely happen with the two.

Twenty minutes later, the process of Soul Synchronization is on the verge of success, however, the stilled fish squirm! And in the next second, a loud bird screech rumble...

"Krreee!!!"

The loud bird chirp reverberates throughout the whole [Inner World], and the whole population inside heard of it. All of Cole's beast inside open their eyes at once and they all look at the direction of the sound's origin. Some of them have a afraid glint in their eyes, this was very apparent from Coal as among Cole's tamed beast, the Fire Lizard have the lowest rank of bloodline which was Earth-Rank.

On the other hand, a smile appear on Celia's face. Seconds later, a purple mist cover her whole body and when it vanish, a long, majestic three clawed Dragon appear on the sky. She then fly on Elves location.

Eventhough the bird screech just sounds like a normal tone of chirp, the sound carry something magical but at the same time, very oppressive. It was as though sounds like...

Primordial...

Or very ancient...

It was as if a very scary bird predator screech from the sky.

And since elves seclude themselves from outside world, not to say ancient beast, they didn't even encounter a fierce beast! The bird screech terror them to the core.

However, while they were trying to recover from the unexpected terror, their location dim considerably, and when the others look up from the sky, those at the outsides instantly fall, sat down to the ground.

There's a literal Dragon from top of them!

Goodness!!! Just what kind of place their Matriach brought them to? Did they go back to the ancient time where Dragons and ancient beast runs rampant through the planet?!

Matriarch Mayana immediately go outside when she heard the report of the newly appointed Elder of their Elm Tribe, Harold.

Saying that she was shock was an understatement when she saw the long, scaly, white Dragon body in the sky.

She'll not deny that the body looks strong, majestic and very beautiful at the same time though...

Suddenly a very familiar voice rang inside the Matriarch's head.

"You make sure that your people will temporarily remain in your given spot for the mean time."

Matriarch Mayana's eyes widely open in disbelief as she look at the White Dragon.

"Yes, Lady Celia!"

Meanwhile, the moment the loud ,fierce bird screech reverberates, the Messiah Tree's leaves rustle eventhough there's no strong wind.

The Messiah Tree produce a small green liquid, with the same size of quail egg. That essence flew towards the white fish and instantly melted on its body the moment it touch.

"Krreee!!! Krreee!!! Krreee!!!"

A continuous cry of bird reverberates, it was as though its screaming to the whole world its arrival to the word.

The white fish's body suddenly release a blinding light, hiding the miraculous process behind. Then a strong, oppressive momentum was released by the beast, even Cole could feel the suppression.

Moments later, two phantoms appear outside of the blinding light, it was the phantom pure white fish and other was a small, dark blue bird. For the mean time, both of those were in small form. But as seconds pass, the two small like a baby fish and chick matured on fast rate.

Later, the small, innocent looking white fish mature into gigantic one and when it occasionally open its giant mouth, rows of many, sharp teeth could be seen. Cole can't quite believe that the adorable creature could actually evolve into something scary.

The small, dark blue chick, on the other hand, matured into a giant bird. Its beak and talons look fierce, and it even looks like much sharper than sword. Its wings was very majestic and very powerful, and it covers a very large area.

Cole even believe that when this bird turn into real and not a virtual phantom, this could be one of the legendary beast, the Roc.

The two phantom circle the blinding light like a wheel. After some time, the phantom of bird and fish return to the light.

Seconds later, the blinding light vanish and the white fish was no where to be seen. What replace the fish was the familiar small blue bird, the same color of clear sky.

Cole reappear beside Ricky and said, "Go on, cultivate with your beast first and familiarize yourselves with each other."

Ricky nodded as he wait for the bird to land on his head.

Then Cole teleported himself back beside the Messiah Tree.

Ricky immediately sat down on the ground the moment the small bird land on his head. Then the two enter the meditative state.

On the side, Cole focus his eyes to the bird;

Species Name : Swift Void Kunpeng Beast Name : ∅ Level : Fourth-Level Tier-3 Rank : Divine Bloodline Potential : Arcane (Ancestral Return) Affinity : Water,Wind, Space Race : Beast/Kunpeng Innate Ability : Kun-Peng Form, Shapeshift, Beast Skill : Water Arrows, Wind Shield, Void Strike, Strong Grip

Minutes later, the Messiah Tree rustle again and small crimson red orbs of appear out of thin air. Then different beast manifestations appear on it one by one; there were roaring dragons, swooping birds, a big beast where half of its body was mouth and depicting a posture od swallowing moon and stars, and many more...

Those manifestations only last for a second then vanish except for one. And that one floats on top of little bird on top of Ricky's head. It enters the little birds head seconds later.

Despite not having an ounce of idea what it was, Cole immediately identified the strange phenomenon; it was the [Blood Realm]!

Then what happens just now was beast's bloodline inheritance!
