Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

The Token of Life was something very precious and innate to the Life Controller Beasts found in the area a mile away from the city. That specific area was filled with the Life Controller Beasts that were only below the strength of the City Life Healer.

In fact, the City Life Healer had grown stronger than before. It was just that the leader of the Life Controller Beasts also managed to mutate after a year. The current year Yang Lujia was currently at was the year after the City Life Healer came from that area—seemingly injured and seemed to be just a breath away from life.

When Yang Lujia thought of this, it could be that his father wanted to save the City Life Healer. However, knowing from the guards that the City Life Healer, Yang Lujia brushed the idea of reviving the dead.

He could only revive the dead—not the living.

As Yang Lujia also needed to investigate about the matter despite having the strength to directly barge inside the city, he went to that area.

This area was a gorge with three mountains surrounding the river that extended endlessly as far as Yang Lujia could see.

He knew of the name of the place from the guards. All the soldiers of these matters and ordinary people like civilians were not aware of such a place. Because there was already an abundance of life within the city, the human settlers did not really want to go out anymore to hunt. Their harvest was already sufficient enough for them to survive.

The name was coined by the City Life Healer as the Life Gorge. Although the Life Controller Beasts present in this place were filled with the rules of life, they were pretty savage despite emitting the holiness of divinity.

When Yang Lujia finally entered the gorge, he did not bother hiding himself. Ever since he braved himself to go against the first test with the White Tiger, he had become more courageous than before and was less afraid of death.

However, he still dared not be careless as he scanned his surroundings.

"Are there really beasts here? Why is this place so beautiful instead? I cannot see any savage beasts at all," Yang Lujia said, his head filled with questions.

"Little Bird, is that that place?" the Old Red Qilin asked, feeling skeptical.

The Vermillion Bird did not reply verbally but it shook its head.

"I see," he replied.

There was the White Tiger on his back, sleeping tightly. The White Tiger suddenly sensed something and looked at the realm where Yang Lujia was. "Those creatures!"

The White Tiger bared his fangs at the projection showing how Yang Lujia was within the Life Gorge. "Although Old Bird had already told me about them, I still could not bear to see them."

The Red Qilin sighed when he heard the White Tiger's words and the anger suppressed in his tone. It seemed like he encountered those Life Controller Beasts.

"Despicable bunch! Just a bunch of weaklings!"

"Calm down, Little White. The fight has not even begun yet. Remember not to underestimate Your Highness. Do mind that he is the son of that man who managed to subdue us. If these Life Controller Beast could easily trample on him, then he wouldn't be worthy of his name!" The White Tiger's face was solemn, compared to his ever-naughty looks.

"Little White, you encountered these Life Controller Beasts, right? How are you so mad at them?"

"They once killed my cubs and my wife," the White Tiger replied, his tone surging with killing intent.

"Little White," the Vermillion Bird called out. "You don't have to worry. These are only illusions, portrayed as a reality for His Highness to experience the feelings he had never felt before."

"Hmph! As you say!" The White Tiger went back to sleep, but from time to time, his attention would shift to the realm.

Meanwhile, Yang Lujia was trying to decipher what kind of thing was hiding in this beautiful paradise. The river could be said to be translucent with a hint of blue—reflected from the clear skies above. There were even fishes swimming about.

Yang Lujia temporarily let his guard down and weighed things as they were happening at the moment. It could either the two guards lied to him about this place. Or this place really had the Life Controller Beasts—it was just that they were very excellent in hiding.

On the other hand, within a mountain in the gorge, there was a large castle lit up by candles lined up on each side of the whole hall of the castle. On the throne of this castle was a man who had wings on his back. His wings were identical to the Vermillion Bird.

Only the White Tiger was not surprised when they all saw this scene, except Yang Lujia who was still clueless about what to do. Even the Red Qilin and the Vermillion Bird were shocked.

"Aren't they the things I've only read in books?" the Vermillion Bird asked herself.

The Red Qilin nodded as a form of implicity agreement. "I just don't know if they're really the Life Controller Beast. If so, it would be for the best."

"Yes, they are. Moreover, they have the same scent as Old Bird. Although I don't know but Old Bird had a trace of her bloodline within these Life Controller Beasts' bodies."

"No, according to the legends, they are just descendants of the Vermillion Bird. Therefore, before the creation of the universe, along with other animals who created their own habitat, they could already be existing."

"Yes. But do you all know why they're called the Life Controller Beasts?"

The Vermillion Bird shook its head and looked at the White Tiger.

"I, too, did not know anything. However, it seemed like Old Black had something else to say," the Red Qilin said as he welcomed the entrance of the Black Tortoise.

"Life Controller Beasts," Old Black said, frowning as he looked at the projection of where Yang Lujia was. "Do you want to know why they're called Life Controller Beasts?"

Regretfully, the Red Qilin was ashamed of its limited knowledge and just shook his head.

"I, too, can't think of a reason."

"Life Controller. They can control the life of a person or any living thing. Do you recognize that Life Gorge? It was so bright that it would be an understatement to say that it wasn't beautiful. The place is glaringly vibrant. They come from the void. Only the void could suppress this special ability of theirs. Of course, only at some specific spaces in the void."
