I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets! 236-237

Chapter 236-237: The First of the Twelve Moons, The Original Moonlight Rabbit!!(Final)

“Hooo~~~”

As the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit exhaled slowly, time seemed to freeze in the Moon Soul World.

This single punch not only shattered the bodies of three Fallen Emperors but also left an indelible mark on the minds of trillions of beings in the Moon Soul World.

Many shared the Divine Machine’s bewilderment.

What was this Moonlight Rabbit?

Her level seemed to be just over ten thousand…?

Even the twenty-thousand-level First Emperor, Lotus Concubine Tai Sui, couldn’t possibly possess such terrifying power…

Suffocation, despair, terror—all sorts of horrifying emotions gripped everyone.

“What’s going on?”

“Where are you?”

Tai Yin contacted Lotus Concubine Tai Sui, but received no response.

Lying amidst ruins countless star systems away from the battlefield, Lotus Concubine Tai Sui, the black-haired Ancient Emperor, coughed up blood, her body trembling.

Countless rabbit paw prints covered her graceful form, deep and bloody.

Her expression was unusually grim.

She never imagined that she, who had once hunted three Ancient Species, would be reduced to this state…

It seemed no one in the Moon Soul World could stop that creature anymore.

The Nine-Colored Deer’s prophecy had been accurate…

Seeing the three Fallen Species reduced to dust, Star Goddess and the other participants felt a chill run down their spines, losing all will to fight.

They had never encountered such a terrifying existence.

Not even their high-ranking Legends, nor the higher-level Fallen Species, could withstand a single punch.

Under everyone’s gaze…

The battle between Sharp Edge Seven King Mother and the Shining Moonlight Rabbit was nearing its end.

Neither Storm’s arrival nor the birth of the new Fallen Species had interrupted their fight for even a second.

Even the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit’s world-shattering punch was no exception.

The Shining Moonlight Rabbit, Star-Sweeping Moon-Veiling White Jade Mistress, gently flapped her massive wing-like ears, remotely controlling the Monarch-Tier Calamity Sun as it clashed with Seven King Mother’s sword energy.

Everything between them was obliterated.

Dazzling shockwaves ripped through the Moon Soul World and its subordinate Soul Worlds.

Triple Shining Awakening

VS

Innate Shining Evolution

The Eleventh Zodiac’s Star Pole Awakening had propelled Sharp Edge Seven King Mother to a higher level, surpassing all others.

But Seven-Stringed Lyre Star’s miracle had rewritten the Shining Moonlight Rabbit’s past, completely altering her evolutionary path.

And since a Shining Species’ Pet Essence was infinite, even a battle until the end of time might not determine a victor.

Therefore, neither Pet Beast held back, unleashing their full power, bombarding the Lunar Divine Festival map with relentless attacks.

Gradually, the battle reached its climax.

As Calamity Sun, the black iron ball held by the Moonlight Rabbit, continued to clash with Sharp Edge Seven King Mother, an ominous aura began to emanate from it.

The Shining Rabbit had first encountered Calamity Sun when she was still the High-Tier Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer.

Every subsequent evolution and victory against powerful foes had been inextricably linked to Calamity Sun.

Calamity Sun had been a constant throughout her entire evolutionary journey.

Therefore, in this final moment, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother would be defeated by the two of them together!

As an Emperor’s aura emanated from the Monarch-Tier Calamity Sun, Neverending Tower, the Shining Moonlight Rabbit suddenly stopped her barrage against her Shining counterpart.

Then…

After a long while, Star-Sweeping Moon-Veiling White Jade Mistress closed her ears, gripping Calamity Sun and assuming her original throwing stance.

The inhabitants of White Moon Continent froze.

They suddenly realized…

Who had thrown Calamity Sun, tearing through the skies of countless regions, during last year’s White Moon Continent League!?

Though they hadn’t seen it directly, it had only been a rumor, a guess, but now, seeing the Moonlight Rabbit’s familiar throwing posture, everyone understood.

Besides Lian Xing, who else would dedicate their Pet Beast’s entire evolution to the path of throwing!?

Under everyone’s gaze, the Shining Moonlight Rabbit, Star-Sweeping Moon-Veiling White Jade Mistress, abandoned all her flashy abilities, simply holding the black iron ball in her original throwing stance.

Just like their first meeting in White Moon Continent, the High-Tier Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer and the High-Tier Calamity Sun…

“…”

“…”

“BOOM!!!”

The next second, as the Moonlight Rabbit’s massive wing-like ears flapped, everything in their vision began to rapidly dissipate.

The black iron ball pierced through the Lunar Divine Festival’s Pet Essence, a vortex of thunder and flames shattering eardrums and blinding eyes.

Except for the silver-haired woman on the other side, raising her sword in defense, everything seemed to freeze in time.

Star Goddess, Nether Concubine, Ice Queen, Tai Yin.

Even the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, crouching and examining the Fallen Species’ corpses.

Mere physical destruction couldn’t kill a Fallen Species.

The Ancient Rabbit was studying and suppressing their rapidly regenerating flesh.

But even her movements froze.

As if a higher-dimensional being wanted to witness the final outcome, only the high-speed Calamity Sun was allowed to pierce through the Lunar Divine Festival map, tearing the True Spirit World’s image in half.

Countless Soul Worlds around the Lunar Divine Festival were shattered by Calamity Sun’s destructive aura.

Then, as Sharp Edge Seven King Mother’s body began to crumble—

A Low-Tier, juvenile, initial Moonlight Rabbit appeared at the edge of the Moon Soul World, casually catching the attack that was about to pierce through the True Spirit’s territory.

The Moonlight Rabbit slowly raised its head.

One of its eyes bore a golden, starry pupil.

The other displayed a single, chilling number.

[1]

—

The number in the Moonlight Rabbit’s eye was enough to make every being in the Moon Soul World gasp.

The Twelve Moons all had numbers in their names.

For example, the Eleventh Zodiac, the Nine-Colored Deer, and the one who had bestowed miracles upon Lian Xing across dimensions—Seven-Stringed Lyre Star!!

They weren’t initially called this, but after becoming True Spirits, their pasts erased, only their titles, unified across all timelines, remained.

But how…!!!

One…?

This meant it was the Moon Soul World’s first True Spirit.

How could such an absurd number appear in this dimension?

The instant Calamity Sun and Star-Sweeping Moon-Veiling White Jade Mistress’s devastating attack was caught, Lian Xing’s consciousness was pulled into another dimension.

Everything in the Moon Soul World froze.

Only the bewildered, golden-bunned girl remained.

She slowly looked up, meeting the gaze of the mysterious Moonlight Rabbit across dimensions.

And then, Lian Xing realized.

She had seen this Moonlight Rabbit before!

“It’s you…?”

“…”

“…”

“The victor of this Lunar Divine Festival, Lian Xing.”

“You likely have many questions and doubts, but I have no time to answer them.”

“Without a vessel, my dimensional descent limit is five seconds, and even that is thanks to the rule change at the moment of your victory.”

“As for what will happen in these five seconds, and the benefits of winning the Lunar Divine Festival, you’ll experience them in the years to come… Remember, in a thousand years, you must defeat… the vessels of the Eight Emperor Tears.”

“If you wish to become a True Spirit, defeat the Saintess candidates of the Eight Emperor Tears…”

As the golden-haired girl watched in bewilderment, the Moonlight Rabbit’s form blurred, dissipating like a wisp of smoke.

Time resumed in the Moon Soul World.

But the Moonlight Rabbit, with [1] in its eye, had transcended to another dimension.

In this new dimension, five figures occupied five towering thrones, overlooking the Moon Soul World like gods.

The Nine-Colored Deer.

The Eleventh Zodiac.

A blank, elemental silhouette, ranked twelfth.

An icy construct, ranked tenth.

And a massive, purple butterfly, spanning the entire starry sky, ranked eighth.

As the five True Spirits of the Moon Soul World saw the fleeting image of the Moonlight Rabbit, they lowered their heads respectfully, not daring to meet its gaze.

The Moonlight Rabbit vanished again.

It arrived in yet another dimension.

Here, there were six thrones.

The figures on five thrones were blurry, but the sixth was clear: a silver bow and arrow.

Though not large, seven miniature star system crystal balls floated around it, the Moon Soul World occupying one of them.

Even star systems were like mere toys to it, let alone the beings within the Moon Soul World.

Even with its full attention, it could barely perceive those insignificant creatures.

Such a terrifying existence was beyond comprehension.

This was—

One of the Moon Soul World’s original Seven Miracles, an innate True Spirit, Seven-Stringed Lyre Star!!!

Seeing the Moonlight Rabbit’s return, Seven-Stringed Lyre Star looked up, emitting an inquisitive tone.

“…”

“…”

“Don’t worry, I did nothing, nor will I steal your descendant.”

After the brief reply, the Moonlight Rabbit vanished from this dimension.

Seconds later, it arrived in a vast, empty, white world.

Here, the Moon Soul World, and the domains of the other Twelve Moons, were compressed into flowing pixels, frozen in its vision.

It was alone in this dimension, its figure slightly lonely.

It looked up at a single, flowing dewdrop in the distance.

A pure, translucent, blue drop of water, like a teardrop, fell from the edge of its vision, splitting into eight smaller droplets with each pixel it crossed, then vanishing.

The water droplet’s coordinates slowly rose, as if looking up.

[In a thousand years, I will claim the concept of “Shining Species” from the Moon Soul World.]

Its thoughts were transmitted directly into the Moonlight Rabbit’s mind.

After a moment of silence, the Moonlight Rabbit replied impassively.

[If the Moon Soul World wins, I will claim everything related to the “Soul Prison Trial” from the Sea Soul World.]

***

Meanwhile, in the Sea Soul World, a deafening alarm echoed throughout the True Spirit World.

The Sea Soul World’s boundaries began to contract.

10% of its subordinate regions were corrupted, their evolutionary systems distorted, all contact lost.

And with the Moonlight Rabbit’s forceful, cross-dimensional descent, not only the Sea Soul World but also the other four True Spirit Worlds were affected.

The other five True Spirit Worlds immediately went on high alert.

But…

This brief moment of corruption had completely isolated these regions, turning them into abandoned, shattered worlds.

To reclaim them, they would have to wait a thousand years.

Until the True Spirit’s residual energy dissipated.

Meanwhile…

In the Moon Soul World—

When Lian Xing opened her eyes, she was back in the Lunar Divine Festival arena.

The shattered Sharp Edge Seven King Mother lay in Star Goddess’s arms, reduced to a broken sword casket, her seven blades shattered by the Shining Moonlight Rabbit’s single blow.

The three Fallen Species, obliterated by the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, were in a similar state. Even with their regenerative abilities, they couldn’t quickly recover, their flesh slowly reforming like cells.

Silence fell over the Moon Soul World.

All beings stared in awe at the magnificent, golden-bunned girl.

Star Goddess, Nether Concubine, Ice Queen, Tai Yin.

Lotus Concubine Tai Sui, Storm, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother, Dao Yao.

The pinnacle of Ancient Species, Fallen Species, Shining Species, and Legends had all been defeated. The other participants had no chance.

Lian Xing, the undisputed champion, stood alone at the center of the battlefield, slightly bewildered.

However, despite her flawless victory in all four rounds, she didn’t seem particularly happy.

Don’t disturb her, she was thinking…

[Moon Soul World Victor Privileges]

[Pet Beast slots increased by 15.]

[Married Pet Beast slots increased by 5.]

[Childbirth speed increased by 999999%.]

[Conception rate increased by 999999%.]

[True Spirit aura loading—0.00000000000001%, estimated completion in 1000 years.]

Though the Lunar Divine Festival had concluded, she hadn’t become a True Spirit.

Lian Xing felt a strange sense of unease.

Recalling the Moonlight Rabbit’s words, the thousand-year loading time seemed like a shackle, suppressing her realm, preparing her for a future battle on behalf of the Moon Soul World.

“But I haven’t defeated the Beast Tamers themselves. Why was I declared the victor?”

“Could it be…”

“They believe I alone am not enough to defeat the entire Sea Soul World’s Beast Tamers?”

Lian Xing couldn’t understand.

There were too many unanswered questions about that Moonlight Rabbit.

But at least, she could finally go home~~~

***

Fifteen years later.

Moon Soul World, Cloud Mist Sea.

Within Moonwalker’s palace, a cute, golden-haired girl with white buns, starry eyes, and golden rabbit ears slept soundly on the grass.

Beside her, a green-haired, green-eyed girl crouched, diligently feeding her purple butterfly Pet Beast.

“My dear, I’m a Viral species. Why do you keep feeding me Biological Pet Beast food!?” the purple butterfly complained.

“Mommy says it’s bad to be picky,” the green-haired girl replied seriously.

“That’s because you only eat Viral food! You’re a Viral hybrid. But I’m a pure Viral Pet Beast! What else am I supposed to eat?”

Qianqiu sighed in exasperation.

But seeing the girl’s teary-eyed, aggrieved expression, she ate all the food, not leaving a single crumb.

After many years, Qianqiu had finally found her next master.

This was the future she had simulated.

Lian Xing’s eighth daughter, Mist Colt’s descendant.

Fifteen years ago, Lian Xing had won the Lunar Divine Festival under the watchful eyes of every being in the Moon Soul World.

The chaotic battle had ended, and the resurrected experts from ancient times, including Qianqiu’s first master, Nether Concubine, had returned to their slumber, awaiting the next Lunar Divine Festival.

However, this had been the most unusual Lunar Divine Festival in history.

Not only had Lian Xing not ascended to become a True Spirit, but the memories of the event hadn’t been erased either.

Then, something even more absurd than the Lunar Divine Festival itself occurred.

Without warning, the territories of other True Spirit Worlds were corrupted by the Moon Soul World, seemingly due to Lian Xing’s victory.

Even the neighboring Sea Soul World lost a tenth of its territory.

The flow of time became completely chaotic, even reversing and flowing backwards in some areas, creating waves of reincarnations and transmigrations.

For fifteen years, countless transmigrated assassins had been sent to the Moon Soul World to assassinate Lian Xing, the supposed culprit, all failing.

The Sea Soul World’s higher-ups even declared war on the Moon Soul World, planning to invade once the True Spirit aura separating the two worlds dissipated in a thousand years.

During this time, Lian Xing’s dozen or so descendants were protected by her powerful Emperor-Tier friends, such as Qianqiu, Lover, First Quarter, Cold Moon, and Moonwalker.

However, one person was different.

Qianqiu looked at the sleeping, golden-haired girl with the buns.

Lian Yue, Lian Xing’s eldest daughter, the Shining Moonlight Rabbit’s descendant.

As a hybrid of a Shining Beast Tamer and a Shining Emperor, she was born an innate Shining Species Beast Tamer.

This meant her companion Pet Beast would definitely be a Shining Species!

Her starting point was beyond the reach of her siblings.

Unfortunately, no one had yet seen her juvenile Shining Species.

This girl had been deified by the Moon Soul World’s fanatical fans, considered the closest to Lian Xing in bloodline, countless Emperors vying for a glimpse of her.

But her personality wasn’t like Lian Xing’s. She was more like the lazy Moonlight Rabbit species, often sleeping for hundreds of hours at a time, a strange contrast.

Meanwhile, unknown to anyone, within the girl’s dream—

[Soul Prison Trial, Session 207]

[Soul Prison Trial, First Stage: Frozen Tomb Mountain]

Within a terrifying world of towering glaciers and swirling snow, the golden-haired girl with buns exhaled a frosty breath, looking at the peak of the massive glacier above her.

After four years of arduous climbing, this trial was finally coming to an end…

Lian Yue felt a sense of relief.

Four years ago, she had been transported into this strange trial immediately after awakening her Shining Species. Then, seemingly due to a bug, the system had detected an unknown species and sealed her Shining Species.

This had turned her into a cripple in reality, a mute orphan unable to summon her Pet Beast.

But now, the first stage was finally ending.

She heard that in the second stage, the Pet Beast restrictions would be lifted.

Then, she would unleash her Shining Species and slaughter everyone.

Lian Yue looked at the white-haired girl not far above her with anticipation.

It was a beautiful girl with eight teardrops on her cheeks and white antlers, her flawless face and alluring figure like that of a humanoid Pet Beast.

In this Soul Prison Trial, only their strength and climbing progress were significantly ahead of the others.

However, even as a natural Shining Species Beast Tamer, Lian Yue couldn’t surpass her. Her true strength in the real world must be unfathomable…

“Shui Qing Yue, once this stage ends, let’s have a true battle with our Pet Beasts in the second stage.”

“Yes, alright…” the white-haired girl with antlers nodded stiffly.

Unnoticed, cold sweat drenched her body.

…

…

Where was Lian Xing?

Lian Xing was giving birth.

-The End-
