1228 An Unprecedented Occurrence

"What am I, you ask? Human, I suppose…" Tian Yi eventually responded to the Eater of Star's question even though he had a feeling that it wasn't what she wanted to hear.

"Why do you ask?" He then asked.

"..."

After a moment of silence, the Eater of Stars responded, "Amongst the countless things I've consumed throughout the years, very few things interest my tastebuds. However, your blood… When I consumed your blood, it excited my tastebuds in a way that I've never experienced before, and even though the amount of blood I've consumed is insignificant— even neglectable, it's managed to satisfy my hunger significantly."

"I could consume a hundred stars, yet it would not satisfy my hunger the way your blood just did."

The Eater of Stars proceeded to consume the remaining blood that was scattered in the starry sky, leaving not even a single drop of blood behind, and her body would tremble with excitement with every drop of blood.

Once she finished cleaning the starry sky of Tian Yi's blood, she released a deafening roar that shook the starry sky.

"My blood satisfies your insatiable hunger…? Why?" Tian Yi mumbled out loud after learning of this information.

"I don't know, it just does." The Eater of Stars replied.

"..."

Silence filled the place for the next several moments until Tian Yi had an idea, "Eater of Stars, I have an offer for you."

"I am listening."

For the first time in history, the Eater of Stars was being patient and willing to listen to a human being.

"You see, I have an ambition…" Tian Yi proceeded to tell the Eater of Stars his ambitions.

"If I have someone like you around me in my journey, it will definitely help speed up my goals. In exchange for your company, I am willing to offer you my blood to feed your hunger."

"Of course, I won't make you do anything that you don't want to, and you can leave at any time."

The Eater of Stars closed her eyes to ponder in silence.

A few moments later, her massive body began to shrink, progressively shrinking faster with every passing second, until she was the size of an ordinary snake.

"I shall follow you until the end of time, Master." The Eater of Stars said.

"Master?" Tian Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm not asking you to be my servant, you know."

"I am aware. This is my choice."

"You really don't mind?"

"I don't."

In the realm of beasts, yielding to a human as their master equated to a profound surrender, a relinquishing of their very essence, a choice that would forever brand them with ridicule among their fellow creatures.

However, the Eater of Stars was no mere ordinary beast. She was a Divine Beast with significance equal to that of Dragon Goddess Yeyou and the Primordial Phoenix. Despite that, she still decided to accept Tian Yi as a master.

In the eyes of the Eater of Stars, such considerations held no sway over her. To her, the paramount imperative was the satisfaction of her insatiable hunger, rendering all other concerns inconsequential.

In this singular moment, an extraordinary occurrence had transpired—a Divine Beast, for the first time in history, had chosen to acknowledge a human as its master.

Furthermore, this wasn't just any Divine Beast; it was the Eater of Stars, a notorious entity that had sown terror across the expanse of the Divine Heavens, a veritable force of nature responsible for the annihilation of countless stars.

"So… Do you have another name besides Eater of Stars?"

"I do not. You may give me a name if you wish."

"I'll need some time to think about it… Anyways, here."

Tian Yi suddenly slashed his palm with his sword and offered it to her.

Eater of Stars immediately rushed at it like a starving beast and immediately began consuming it.

While changing her size won't change her appetite, she could perceive her hunger gradually assuaging as she imbibed his blood.

Several minutes later, in a moment unprecedented in her existence, the Eater of Stars encountered the sensation of satiety, discovering what it meant to be free from the ceaseless grip of hunger.

It was also at this moment that she knew that she had made the right choice by following Tian Yi.

Eater of Stars wanted this moment to last forever— to be able to feast on Tian Yi's blood endlessly, but she knew that wouldn't be possible if she wanted to preserve his blood for longer.

"Thank you, Master…" Eater of Stars muttered after releasing a satisfied sigh, her stomach feeling better and fuller than ever.

"Is this your first time tasting human blood?" Tian Yi asked her.

"No. I have tasted human blood before, but they all tasted like dirt water."

Tian Yi sighed in relief after hearing this, as he feared for a moment that only human blood could satisfy her hunger.

"So, what does my blood taste like?" He asked out of curiosity.

"I don't know how to describe it, but it's delicious— unlike anything I have tasted before, and it makes my tastebuds tremble with delight. If I am only allowed to eat this for the rest of my life, I wouldn't mind it at all."

"Is that so… Anyways, let's go meet my other companions." Tian Yi then said.

Eater of Stars nodded.

Suddenly, a powerful presence appeared behind Tian Yi.

When he turned around, he saw Dragon Goddess Yeyou with a somewhat weird look on her face, and she appeared to be panting a bit.

"Dragon Goddess? Are you okay? Why do you seem a bit tired?" Tian Yi raised his eyebrows at her.

"I tried… but I cannot hold it in any longer… Tian Yi… fight me, now!" She said while her aura skyrocketed.

"Huh? Right now?" Tian Yi was baffled.

He'd just finished fighting with the Eater of Stars, and he even donated a good amount of his blood to her afterward. He was definitely in no condition to fight Dragon Goddess Yeyou.

"Why don't we do this another time… when I am healed? I'm sure you don't want to fight an injured person, as well."

"Bullshit! You'll be fine if you use that golden aura technique! Why didn't you use that technique when you fought me before?! Are you mocking me?!" Dragon Goddess Yeyou roared in a frustrated manner.

"Golden aura technique? What are you talking about?" Tian Yi responded with a dumbfounded expression.
