Chapter 826: "The Sloan Family Head Qualification"
Chapter 826: “The Sloan Family Head Qualification”
Indeed, there were only two legendary creatures in this world that didn't need to find an heir to replace them– it was the phoenix and the dragon.
Unlike other legendary beings that had to cultivate an heir from the start…
Phoenix and dragon usually had cubs and one of their cubs would be the one becoming the new legendary beast in the future.
Strangely, there wouldn't be only one legendary phoenix or dragon in this world, because there could be a variety of them.
For example, a legendary ice phoenix, an ice dragon, golden dragon, golden Phoenix, white dragon, white phoenix, and so on.
The dragons had more legendary dragon varieties compared to phoenix who usually only had one or two variations.
Other legendary beasts such as unicorns, griffins, pegasus, and so on, could have cubs or children, but their children would never become a legendary beast.
It was said that because there could only be one legendary beast in each race, when they had cubs, they had to mate with a non-legendary beast of the same race.
That undoubtedly weakened the bloodline passed down to their cubs.
The phoenix and dragon race could have more than one legendary beasts, and it means they could mate with another legendary beast of the same race, despite their different variety.
The other legendary beasts couldn't do that. If they mated with other legendary beasts of a different race, they couldn't have children!
So, it was more efficient to pass down their bloodline to a brand new beast of their race.
And they also had to start from the root, and couldn't pass down the bloodline to the existing sacred beasts of their race.
For example, the unicorns found ordinary goats to be their heir, pegasus found ordinary horses…
Fenrir found ordinary dogs or wolves, and the white tiger found ordinary cats to be their heir.
Oh, well, Cellino's case was an anomaly, since he's a cat.
Cellino himself always thought that becoming Fenrir's heir was a tragedy, but he was actually lucky.
The old Fenrir only chose Cellino to be his heir and if Cellino died before becoming a legendary beast, only then would other candidates inherit the legendary Fenrir' bloodline.
Other beast races chose as many as a hundred heirs and all the heirs would compete to be the first one to become a legendary beast.
Then, the rest would never be able to advance and could only stay as a sacred beast.
However, despite Cellino being lucky, he had been unable to awaken his bloodline for so many years, because he found no suitable humans to assist him–
Until he found Ainsley.
Still, he was lagging behind a lot compared to his siblings.
His two siblings had long awakened their bloodlines, and were already on the verge of becoming a legendary creature.
They only needed one small push…and this young World Tree could be the key!
Actually, thanks to Ainsley's care, Cellino himself had grown stronger at an astonishing rate, much faster than his two siblings.
In less than a year, he would soon be able to speak human language in his beast form, and then the next step would be human transformation.
That would be the last step before becoming a legendary beast.
[My siblings will like the young World Tree and will want to take care of it, awoooo, ] Cellino added.
It means that they would surely open the door!
And Cellino was right.
Ainsley had just about to knock on the golden door when the golden door silently opened itself, without waiting for Ainsley to knock!
The baby exclaimed in surprise while Eth silently raised an eyebrow.
'So this is the prairie that usually showed up in human territories following the sacred beasts…'
He had heard about the sacred beasts' weird tradition of becoming some humans' guardians in order to awaken their bloodline and strive to be a legendary beast.
But this was the first time he saw the prairie that was said to be a mysterious power.
Only sacred beasts on the verge of becoming legendary beasts could create this separate dimension, and they needed more than one sacred beast to make this kind of place.
Eth peeked at Ainsley's surprised face and was also surprised in his heart.
It seemed that the Sloan Family had a deep root in the human continent, huh…
Not noticing Eth's gaze on her, Ainsley was silently looking at the wide prairie in front of her eyes.
The baby couldn't help but mutter as she held Cellino tightly.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you. I'll come in now and plant the young World Tree."
After saying that, Ainsley stepped into the prairie, followed by Eth. The door didn't close yet, as if waiting for them to come out before sealing itself.
This time, Ainsley relied on Eth to find a suitable location to plant the tree and while planting the tree, she didn't meet the two sacred beasts living in the prairie.
The baby's eyes dimmed slightly as she casted her gaze to the grass below her feet.
[As expected…they still don't want to see me. Did I do something wrong? Or maybe they don't want to make a contract with me?]
Ainsley bit her lips as she asked Cellino.
She had heard that if the family head wasn't too strong or competent, not all sacred beasts in the Sloan Family would choose to make a contract.
They might choose others to be their master, not necessarily the family head.
Thus, it had been a tradition in the Sloan Family to measure the family head's strength and prestige by the number of sacred beasts they could contract.
The number of sacred beasts that the new family head could contract showed the family head's qualification!
