This is the era of beast masters, and it is also the era of resurrection of all spirits.
Grass and trees have spirits, mountains and rivers have souls.
Insects, fish, birds and beasts can shed mortal blood, elemental holy spirits can control celestial phenomena, omnic creations can enlighten spiritual wisdom, and ancient relics can awaken from their slumber.
In this world, history is no longer just words on a page:
The First Emperor's chariot passed Hangu Pass, and the ancient dragon of the Great Wall entrenched itself at the end of the mountains;
Alexander's banner passed over the wasteland, and the golden-maned war lion trod the dust for it;
On the night when the Pharaoh's pyramid was topped out, the Hades Scarab held up the first ray of the sun;
The Viking longships sail into the cold sea, and the frost-feathered ravens guide the way ahead of the storm.
Li Li traveled through time and returned to his senior year in high school.
Teachers, classmates, parents, and even the few rolled-up exercise books on the desk in the bedroom are all the same as in my memory.
It's just that the knowledge he learned back then has been returned to the teacher long ago, and there is only half a year left before the college entrance examination. No matter how you look at it, it is a dark start.
Until the head teacher knocked on the blackboard on the podium and announced that the first round of pet beast potential assessment would be held next week.
Li Li: "... Wait a minute, the college entrance examination in this world does not take mathematics, physics and chemistry?"
That's okay.
The puppet dummy on the podium is distributing test papers, the wind chime kite at the express delivery station is passing between the buildings, and the green dew butterfly raised by the mother on the balcony is lowering its head to sprinkle water on the flowers and plants.
Li Li finally realized that he was not returning to the past, but another era that had been rewritten by pet beasts.
To make matters worse, there is only half a year left before the beast-controlling college entrance examination.
He looked at the dense collection of pet beast pedigrees, contract theories, attribute restraints and evolutionary routes in the textbook... He briefly thought about life and felt that it was not a bad idea to lie down.
Until the necklace that traveled through time with him finally revealed its true power:
The evolution of pet beasts does not only rely on bloodline.
Those dusty ancient artifacts, incomplete legends, and lost ruins can all become the keys to complete themselves.
The pearl bird that no one cares about may not be traced back to the blue bird sending messages, the peacock opening its tail, the golden roc soaring, and finally becoming the phoenix soaring in the sky.
A little flying lizard with ordinary blood may not be unable to carry the king's ancient sword and the dragon's oath, and transform into a legendary dragon species.
...
Other beast masters: "You call this an ordinary pet beast?"
Li Li calmly touched the fat bird on his shoulder: "Keep it low-key, I'm just an ordinary history buff."
The first goal is to become the top scorer in the college entrance examination!
(I am a beast warrior. Although the protagonist cheats, the bond with the pet beasts has been cultivated from the beginning. There are many and long evolutionary forms, and the bonds will evolve under certain circumstances)
(When writing this article, I will refer to various pet games, including but not limited to Pokémon, Digimon... If there is any similarity, it is most likely my tribute!)
(I will most likely open this one first for the next one. Pets are symbols of corresponding cultures. It is also a long novel, but I estimate that I won't be able to finish the previous one until next year, haha)
