[Guo Liang: Xiao Si, relieve my pain…]
[System: Master, you are currently under the gaze of many and have detected the external presence of the world’s origin power in your body. It’s recommended to maintain your original state and not use any items. Additionally, a reminder: since Executor No.00102 was expelled by the consciousness of the world’s main god due to OOC, the mission difficulty has unpredictably surged. There have been 69 failed cases so far. Please prepare yourself, Master.]
[Suffering from unbearable pain, Guo Liang can only endure through sheer willpower:…First, extract the original body mirror image of my host body.]
[System: Understood, Master.]
The original host, named Lang Xi, was nineteen years old…and a female.
In this land of the Beast God Continent, to survive in the midst of fierce exotic beasts, the process of natural selection has led the humanoid creatures here to have a battle form that resembles beasts.
Their lifespans are longer than those of exotic beasts, about three hundred years. Their childhood and old age are short, but their fertility rate is very low.
Over time, a small number of newborn beastmen have shown signs of regression, unable to transform but luckily having a stronger reproductive capacity. Beastmen believe this is a gift from the Beast God for their propagation. These reproductively strong but non-combatant beastmen are known as females.
The counterpart to females is males.
Beastmen live in groups based on their habits, gradually forming tribes.
On a vast plain called “Wobu” to the east of the Beast God Continent, dozens of tribes of various sizes are situated &#k2013; including the &#k2018;Wore’ Tribe, which Guo Liang is currently in. It is known as the number one tribe on the Wobu Plain.
Lang Xi, the female eldest son of the Wore Tribe’s chieftain.
When he was born, his dad was leading the tribe’s warriors into a war against the Bulei Tribe, and he was gravely injured, almost losing his life.
Due to his father’s shock, he experienced a miscarriage and was born prematurely.
Normally, females are very fragile in their early years and need careful nurturing until they’re five years old. They undergo a ritual of blessings performed by tribal priests to gain the Beast God’s favor in order to grow up safely. It’s easy to imagine that the original host’s situation was extremely difficult; he was sick almost every other day in his childhood.
Afraid of his early death, the original host was raised by the old priest until he was blessed by the Beast God. Only after that was he taken back home…
[Ding, basic target data scan complete!]
Name: Meng Hao
Gender: Male
Age: Twenty-nine
Height: Average
Appearance Factor: ★★★★★
Intelligence Factor: ★★★★★
Physical Factor: ★★★★★
Health Factor: ★★★★★
Potential: S rank
Current Favorability: 0.
Guo Liang, who was interrupted, was surprised by the 0 favorability value.
Meng Hao and the original host were not strangers; in fact, they were very familiar. The memories Guo Liang had just witnessed about Lang Xi’s life before he turned five revealed that he and Meng Hao could be considered childhood sweethearts, with a very strong bond. Meng Hao, who was ten years older than the original host, took exceptional care of him and treated him like family. Given the strong link between their souls, it was hard to believe that the favorability was at 0.
Afraid of missing any crucial details, Guo Liang replayed the soul mirror image he had read earlier, extracting memories related to the target.
Combining the system-provided basic data, Guo Liang gained a more comprehensive understanding of the target’s background and life experiences.
Compared to the original host’s happy family life, Meng Hao’s family was quite unfortunate.
He had a pair of deeply loving fathers, but precisely because they loved each other so much, their newly formed bond led to a fatal accident. This resulted in Meng Hao’s birth during the extremely high death rate White Moon season.
In the Beast God Continent, the seasons are distinct but vary in duration. The longest of these is the cold White Moon season. Due to the harsh weather, even with the most meticulous care, the offspring born in this season find it challenging to survive. And even if they do survive, their constitution is weaker, and their combat ability generally low.
Meng Hao’s safe birth didn’t bring relief to his family; instead, it brought devastating turmoil.
Because his fur was extremely light, nearly as white as the moon in the night sky – the strength of a beastman is invariably tied to their fur and skin color. The darker the color, the stronger the individual’s power.
For instance, the current strongest member of the Wore Tribe, the chieftain Lang Xiong, who is Lang Xi’s father, has the form of a black wolf.
Furthermore, white fur not only easily exposes oneself during hunting but is also despised by exotic beasts, much like the White Moon season itself. When they see it, they immediately enter a state of rage, and traveling with someone with white fur brings considerable trouble to their companions.
Therefore, in the legends of the Beast God Continent, these kinds of white beastmen are known as the Beast God’s forsaken children.
Meng Hao’s fathers were consumed by regret and self-blame for their momentary impulse.
But the mistake had already been made, and it was irreversible.
The old priest, with a kind heart, kept him by his side after Meng Hao’s birth, allowing him to survive in good health. However, the family’s misfortunes didn’t stop there…
During the White Moon season when Meng Hao’s father was carrying his younger brother Meng Hui, his dad perished while fighting against invading exotic beasts in the tribe. Meng Hui was born in the subsequent Silver Moon season, and after seeing that the fur of his second son was black, his dying father’s last bit of determination faded away, and he let go of life.
As orphans, Meng Hao and his brother Meng Hui were taken in by the old priest. Later, the original host was born, and the three of them grew up together, forging a unique bond.
Quiet and caring, Meng Hao took care of the original host with utmost tenderness and love, not treating him any less than his own younger brother Meng Hui. In fact, due to the original host’s frailty, Meng Hao treated him even more cautiously. The original host depended on him a lot and was closer to him than even his own father.
Seeing the image in the mirror of the original host holding the tail of the transformed Meng Hao, and the scene of them falling asleep together, Guo Liang’s eyes flickered with deep thought.
What had happened later to cause the formerly cold but caring Meng Hao to drop his favorability towards the original host to zero?
With this question in mind, Guo Liang carefully reviewed the mirror image of the original host’s soul, and in the end, he was utterly speechless.
There’s a saying that no matter how correct the position of rebirth, it can’t prevent someone from acting foolishly.
Due to the accident during his birth, the original host’s parents were filled with guilt, compounded by the fact that he hadn’t been raised with them. When the healthy original host returned home, they not only treated him with utmost care and love, but also felt that anything he did was right and justified. They never had the heart to restrain or discipline him.
Although the old priest educated the original host well, he was still just a five-year-old child whose personality hadn’t fully developed. He quickly became spoiled.
By the time the chieftains realized that indulgence was harming rather than helping the child, it was too late.
The original host’s once adorable and lively nature gradually transformed into arrogance, selfishness, vanity, and jealousy.
After understanding the nature of the Beast God’s forsaken children, he looked down upon Meng Hao, considering him a disgrace. He not only used harsh words to drive Meng Hao away from him but also discarded the nourishing fruits and precious herbs that Meng Hao brought him, mocking him as a “false female who can only gather, not hunt.”
After a few incidents, as he wished, Meng Hao gradually stopped appearing in front of him.
This happened when the original host was nine years old. For the next ten years, he never saw Meng Hao again. He heard about Meng Hao’s situation from his parents and others but didn’t really care.
However, the relationship between the original host and his brother Meng Hui remained strong. Meng Hui was part of the tribe’s winged wolves and the future first warrior. Naturally, he was different from someone like Meng Hao, who was considered “useless.”
Meng Hui genuinely liked him. He began learning hunting and always picked fresh fruits for him. He even gave him the best parts of the hunted exotic beasts. And it wasn’t just Meng Hui; most of the unmarried male beastmen of similar age in the tribe went to great lengths to please him. Even the females admired and pursued him for various reasons.
This wasn’t just because he was the eldest son of the chieftain but also because he was naturally pretty and cute. He was the most attractive female in the tribe since childhood. He was cheerful and smiled a lot, albeit being a bit arrogant. However, his “bullying” was seen as sweet for those pursuing him and was something they yearned for.
Furthermore, he possessed the gift of wishes bestowed by the Beast God.
The so-called gift of wishes was a decisive factor for becoming a tribal priest and a one-in-a-million occurrence aMengg the rare females.
These females had a certain affinity for nature and could use it as a medium to pray to the Beast God, fulfilling the wishes of those who sought their blessings.
The current chieftain of the Wore Tribe, through water, prayed to the Beast God to protect the tribe. The original host had the power of plant affinity. At the age of two or three, he displayed extraordinary talent and even revived a withered precious herb. Although he had a fever and fainted for three days and nights after the prayer due to his young age and weak body, this was still impressive.
The old priest originally intended for him to be the successor to the Wore Tribe’s priest. However, as the original host grew up, his once dazzling abilities, like many other females who didn’t inherit the priest’s legacy in their childhood, were gradually taken back by the Beast God.
His inherent selfishness and bias were also exposed. The old priest had no choice but to abandon the idea.
The original host didn’t care about it. He had never wanted to be a priest.
Despite the apparent glory and the respect and admiration of everyone in the tribe, being a priest meant forming a bond but also swallowing a bitter fruit and not being able to conceive. Once pregnant, they would lose the power of the Beast God’s prayer. The original host was unwilling to make such a sacrifice for the happiness and well-being of others.
The original host enjoyed being adored by many but had no intention of selflessly devoting himself to anyone.
