In front of Chess Mountain's mountain wall, there was a strange flower with a flower bud hanging down, as though it was looking at a girl beneath.
"An Jing, you should already have gotten the answer, right?" A voice sounded from the flower. It was The Thearch's voice.
"Yes, I already have an answer. I promise you," An Jing said calmly.
"A wise decision. With my help, not only can you obtain powerful Mythical Companion Beasts, but you can also obtain the Guardian's favor. Soon, you will be stronger than the person you want to defeat," The Thearch said.
"I don't believe that I'll be stronger than him just because I have these," An Jing said.
The Thearch asked with piqued interest, "In that case, why did you agree?"
"Just because I want to become stronger," An Jing said.
"Alright, as you wish. You will become stronger than all humans." With The Thearch's voice, a passageway opened up on Chess Mountain's mountain wall. An Jing walked in.
