I dreamed of returning to ancient times, and I became a beast tamer

“Aaaaaah!”

The silly Dabai reacted, uttered a cheerful cry, and circled around its owner, its big black tail spinning like a propeller, happy for its owner.

The owner always feels that his talent is a burden to the beast, but the Nian beast Dabai actually doesn’t care about winning or losing, or about longevity.

As long as it can be with its owner, it is very happy.

If one day it can make the master's talent come into play, the master will definitely be very happy.

Look, Dabai looked at his master's stunned expression and felt the joy in his master's heart.

“Aaaaaa——”

Why don’t you come and praise me!

Lu Yuan reacted.

My innate ability was indeed activated just now, and there is still clear information remaining in my mind.

That is not an illusion, it is the activation of real innate ability.

Of course, all this is thanks to Dabai's persistence and habit of picking up extraordinary items from time to time.

Without its persistence, there would be no miracle today.

"Thank you, Dabai!"

Lu Yuan laughed, put his hands on the head of the Nian beast Dabai, stroked it vigorously, and gave Dabai a massage package inherited from the Lu family.

His hands moved around, pressing on the acupuncture points for muscles, energy and spirit. Soon, Dabai lay on the ground, feeling so comfortable that his eyes rolled up and his tongue stuck out, like a big dog that had died of overwork, with its tail twitching wildly.

Seeing Dabai's very satisfied look, Lu Yuan nodded secretly.

Maybe he used too much force on a certain part of his body during the massage, causing Dabai to suddenly get a cramp.

But it doesn’t matter. Dabai has thick skin and tough flesh, so he must understand his master’s cooking skills.

Lu Yuan changed his mind and focused his attention on the "dream core" he had just obtained.

He had never heard of what a dream core was, but he knew that the "first era" referred to the first era in history when extraordinary pets were born.

"What does this innate ability mean? Can I use dreams to simulate ancient times?"

As a volunteer teacher in the pet breeding department, he has a simple understanding of the historical development of the Beast Taming Continent.

The Beast Taming World has developed through several eras and is now in its sixth era.

The change of each era represents the end of the world, the advent of disasters, the destruction of all lives, the extinction of all things, and a break in history.

However, there are always some tenacious lives that can survive the doomsday. They may be seeds under the earth, pet eggs, insect eggs, etc., which will revive after the death, continue to reproduce, and make the world prosperous again.

The replacement cycle of each epoch is about 100 million years.

Generally speaking, it takes tens of millions of years of evolution to recover from zero to the original heyday ecology, so the timeline is very long, and Lu Yuan does not know to what point in time his innate ability will be simulated.

The First Era originated 600 million years ago. Written historical records are extremely scarce. For most Beast Tamers, it was a mysterious era and also the first era.

Lu Yuan knew very little about that period of history, so while there was still time, he would naturally search the Internet for more information.

As the world of beast taming has developed to this day, humans have entered the era of scientific beast taming.

Compared with the ignorance in ancient times, there are many more ways to learn now.

For example, the Internet is the greatest invention in the past hundred years. It has broken the learning threshold for all beast tamers, allowing everyone to learn beast taming knowledge online.

Of course, as the threshold has been lowered, a large amount of low-quality content has also flooded the Internet. How to learn efficiently is a skill that beastmasters of the new era need to master.

Clicking on a popular science talk video with the highest number of views, the opening introduction is:

“In ancient times, the cold winter enveloped the earth and nothing was born until the first ray of fire was born in the world, which dispelled the severe cold and brought warmth, and then life came into being.

"The supreme beings of the First Age took over the flame of origin, traveled the world, spread light, and brought about the alternation of day and night...

"Tens of millions of years later, thousands of races will stand side by side, and gods will shine upon the earth.

“At that time, human beast masters were just starting out, and they suffered from the invasion of the Nian beast every year.

"The ancients prayed to the God of Fire and contracted flame-type pets. Since then, pets of the 'fireworks' and 'firecrackers' categories have become the ancients' favorite companions.

"Every New Year, the ancients used them to fight against the beast Nian. They were unable to expand outward and were trapped in one place..."

The Nian beast Dabai had just woken up and saw such historical materials, and could not help but feel embarrassed.

It let out a low howl, apologizing to its master on behalf of its Nian beast ancestors.

“Ah, wuwu——”

From childhood to adulthood, the Nian beast has always been a friend of mankind, and Dabai has never thought that his ancestors and humans were mortal enemies.

"It's okay. It's none of your business. At that time, people didn't know much about the Nian beast and could only drive it away..."

Lu Yuan smiled and touched Dabai's head. He had no intention of blaming him, but his mind drifted further away.

In ancient times, animal masters had only a superficial understanding of their pets.

Most people are still trying to figure out how to tame beasts, with their horizons limited to a certain area, and they have never even heard of creatures like dragons.

Our ancestors believed that what are controllable creatures and what are uncontrollable are deeply related to the right time, place and people.

However, after Feng Shui calculations, creatures like the Nian beast became enemies of the entire world, requiring humans to constantly fight against them, so the Nian beast was not within their range of conquest.

By the Sixth Era, which was Lu Yuan's generation, the Nian Beast had been subdued by humans for a thousand years. Various evolutionary routes had already been developed, and it could be promoted to the highest level of seven stars, making it a powerful beast in the pet world.

There are many debates online now, saying that the power of ancient blood is not necessarily stronger than modern artificially fused blood.

Fanatics of the technology-only theory claim that modern technology has undergone countless iterations and has already developed the evolutionary routes of various pets. The efficiency and power limits of various scientific breeding methods are more than a hundred times that of ancient times.

If modern beastmasters could return to ancient times, they would be like the immortals from the immortal cultivation novels who came down to earth and would be invincible.

Of course, the above examples are based on the premise that the ancients were ignorant.

After watching the popular science video, Lu Yuan felt that it was not enough, so he immediately logged onto the Beast Taming Knowledge Network and read all the relevant literature on the First Era.

For example, "Cultivating Trends in Ancient Times", "The Differences between Ancient and Modern Languages", "The Relationship between the Lost Ancient Method of Ancestor Worship and Evil Spirits"...

By the time he finished reading the above academic papers, it was already midnight.

After reading so much, my knowledge reserves are sufficient. Thinking that there is nothing I have missed, I lay down on the bed with Dabai and prepared to enter the dream simulation.

"Dabai, do you know where we are going next?" Lu Yuan said mysteriously.

"Huh?"

Dabai had a silly and cute look in his eyes, completely unaware of how important the place he was about to go was.

"In ancient times, there might be some lost healing methods there. If they can cure your illness..."

Modern technology is very powerful, but many precious heritages have been lost, and many magical pets and plants have completely become extinct, which cannot be compensated by technological means.

If we go back to ancient times, we might be able to find a cure or a divine pet.

However, this is quite difficult. Diseases that cannot be cured in modern times would also be terminal illnesses in ancient times, and there would be little hope of cure.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan stopped talking, slowly closed his eyes and went to sleep.

No matter how small the hope is, there is still a slight possibility.

In order to make this possible, he would take Dabai to visit all the mountains to find a cure for terminal illnesses.

Dabai whimpered twice, sensing his master's concern.

It stuck out its tongue and licked its owner's hand, indicating that the owner should not worry and that it would be alive and well.
