The moment the contract was finalized, a surge of pristine spiritual energy coursed into his body, reinforcing his muscles and bones, skin membrane, and even his mental strength.
The colorless spiritual energy within his body began to transform into a light red color and upon the last strand's transformation, it surged like a tidal wave into a void node within his brain.
Boom!
Accompanied by a faint noise, the sealed Beast Master Space, composed of red copper spiritual power, was blasted open, revealing a vast white space. But very quickly, the sky was dyed a light red by the red copper spiritual power.
Moreover, Gary Smith could now sense that his Level One Beast Master Space was linked to the vast Mother River. It could swallow primal spiritual power, accelerating the growth of Servant Level beasts.
This was the miracle that the great Mother River bestowed upon the Beastmasters!
With this, Gary Smith successfully advanced to the Red Copper Initial Stage, and could finally be considered to have truly embarked on the path to transcendence.
He would usually choose to solidify one of the Beast's innate skills onto himself, but this had to be put on hold because the Phantom Dream Spider had not yet hatched.
"It's about time to check out the new functions of the Key of Truth!"
As he thought this, his mind moved, and the world before him was instantly swallowed by endless Chaos Streams, bringing him once again into that mysterious space.
A massive, shadowy figure was obscured by the eternal chaos, grand and mysterious.
For the time being, Gary Smith referred to it as "Thousand-Handed Demon God".
'Thousand', symbolizing vastness and limitlessness.
[Contract with First Beast]
[Status: Completed]
[Reward: Legacy of the Secret Cuisine]
The words shattered and reformed rapidly.
[Secret Food Creator: As a creator, you now possess the ability to extract materials from all things in the world and craft them into Secret Food.
Secret Food can be of three types: Evolutionary Secret Food, which can initiate evolution.
Skill Secret Food, which grants skills when consumed.
Sacrifical Secret Food can be used to worship ancient beings.
Using forbidden history as the main ingredient for Secret Food has a chance to yield unexpected results. ]
[Secret Food's power is not determined by its components. Instead, its possibilities are boundless with your imagination!]
"Possibilities boundless due to imagination...."
A swarm of knowledge poured into Gary Smith's mind, giving him a deeper understanding of this legacy.
This was truly forbidden knowledge!
The abilities were fairly simple, divided into Infinite Extraction and Secret Food Creation.
With Infinite Extraction, as long as the target does not resist, it's possible to extract materials from all things in the world, truly a concept-level bug ability.
Even the grandmasters of material extraction would be green with envy after discovering this.
Extracting super materials has to be done with utmost care, as recklessness could lead to detonation by the extraordinary organ, shredding the extractor's body to pieces.
Yet Gary Smith, as long as the conditions are met,
Could even extract materials from a god!
The extracted materials could then be crafted into one of three kinds of Secret Food, namely, to initiate evolution, acquire skills, and offer sacrifices to ancient beings.
This gave the beasts infinite potential for growth!
Additionally, from his previous life, he had received a Time-Space Treasure Chest once he entered the field, which was a gift from the Door of Truth.
Inside it were top-notch materials from the Ten Thousand Heavenly Realms. Upon opening, four random objects would be gained, not limited by any levels.
Meaning, even the body of a god could possibly be a reward!
With such thoughts, Gary Smith couldn't help feeling excited.
Should he manage to acquire sufficiently powerful materials here to create the Evolutionary Secret Food, that Nightmare Demon would be easily vanquished!
As Gary Smith's mind moved, the Chaos Mud beneath him began to bubble like boiling water, and a huge crack appeared, looking like a giant mouth of an abyss that could devour the world.
Out of it came a black-gold chest which, once selected to open, exploded into four colorful-bubble-wrapped objects.
Once a glance was thrown, the pertinent information would materialize.
[Void Worm's Heart: Originates from the old worm in the Ecological World. It only has basic consciousness and knows to crawl in the void, gnawing on void energy for survival. The tunnel left behind becomes a void wormhole. Some collapse to create a storm while others become a stable passage for void creatures.
This worm has exceptional talent and accidentally evolved wisdom during its lengthy journey. It acquired the instinct to reproduce, actively pursued the young body of the Abyssal Mantis Queen, wound up eaten and beheaded. In pain, the Void Worm chose to self-destruct, perishing along with its loved one, its heart ensnared in spatial turbulence.
The heart of the Void Worm is blessed by the void and has the ability to open up a void.]
[Ps: I died with her!]
[Rating: Four-Star High Order] (One-star red copper, two-star silver...and so on)
"Sure enough, wisdom is not free from love brain!"
A twitch at the corner of Gary Smith's mouth showed his speechless state towards this Void Worm.
Normally, even if it had the instinct to reproduce, it should look for its own kind. But this fellow took a different path altogether, choosing a transcendent life form that loved to swallow space.
On top of that, this happened to be the most notorious, infamous for eating up its male partner for nourishment, the Mantis Queen!
She looked upon you as food, yet you felt that you were dying together with your lover.
This boot-licker is hopeless!
Even the sheep in Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf cannot out-lick you.
Despite saying so,
This was a moment of wealth for Gary Smith.
The four-star grade corresponded to the Morning Star Level, surpassing the Golden Spirit, shining like a star, also known as the "Overlord Level".
Powerful enough to reign in a territory.
Furthermore, it was the rarest spatial material. Once it appeared on the market, it would cause a dispute among many parties, eventually being bought at a high price.
The wealth Gary Smith currently possessed, including all of his assets, probably couldn't afford the change.
