Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity

In ancient times, Medicine Elder stood up for the Flame Emperor and fought his way out of the Yunlan Sect.

Today, Jiang Si stands up for Keke and battles the Magic Kingdom!

Endless Fire Domain, possession proxy fighting, Magical Outfit, Mental Landscape, Magic Wand, complete imagery, instant mutation!

There was no reason not to announce his own title.

The Endless Fire Domain had Medicine Elder, the Divine Realm had no Yu Xiaogang.

As everyone knew, Medicine Elder's name was simply Medicine Elder, with only the prefix of Endless Fire Domain—mentioning anything else was just nonsense.

With both hands clasped behind his back, Jiang Si looked with great interest at the Incubators struggling within the flames.

The fact that Incubators could transform into Magical Girls was no secret. However, the higher their status in the Magic Kingdom, the stronger their transformed abilities became.

But at this moment, most of the Incubators weren't taking a confrontational stance. Instead, they earnestly pleaded, "We are not your enemies. On the contrary, we are friends of Magical Girl Ruri! Esteemed Medicine Elder, may we ask where you hail from? Perhaps we have some connection!"

Jiang Si habitually touched his nose, the corner of his mouth twitching into a cold sneer. "When I was dominating the new world back in the day, your grandfathers weren't even born yet!"

The Incubators exchanged glances, whispering among themselves, discussing just who this person could be.

There had been many powerful Magical Girls throughout history, and quite a few had vanished right under the Magic Kingdom's nose.

But one who called themselves "this old man" among Magical Girls? That truly didn't exist...

Boom!

The black Incubator had completely transformed into a Magical Girl, violently shattering the flames that were devouring it and breaking free.

Its gaze locked onto Jiang Keke, sweat and blood mingling together as it panted heavily.

The transformed pale-blue Magical Girl, amidst the searing heat, finally erupted in hysteria:

"Jiang Keke!"

The venom in her voice was so intense that it actually surprised Jiang Si.

Keke had actually managed to offend someone this badly without him even knowing.

She'd grown up, his little sister.

Only the mediocre feared causing trouble. To make someone hate you this much, to the point of grinding their teeth in fury, truly proved that Keke had real skill.

"Who allowed you to scream and yell in my Endless Fire Domain?"

The indifferent crimson Magical Girl's pupils drooped slightly.

As the terrifying pressure descended, all the Incubators fell silent. It wasn't just the Incubators—the wind and the flames fell silent too.

That godlike girl commanded the heavens and earth to fall silent, all things to prostrate themselves, faintly radiating a violent, scorching heat and brutality!

Every Incubator involuntarily held their breath, as if even a slightly heavy breath would cause that volcano to erupt.

Above them, the sky was already covered in flames. The inverted sea of fire burned bright red, and in swirling vortexes, blazing arrows, spears, and blades condensed.

All the flames turned a deathly white. Though scorching hot, they gave off an eerie illusion of icy cold.

Bone-Spirit Cold Flame.

Since he was acting as Medicine Elder, he naturally replaced every flame in Keke's Endless Fire Domain with the Bone-Spirit Cold Flame!

Then the weapons formed from the Bone-Spirit Cold Flame rained down like a storm!

The other Incubators immediately crouched down with their heads covered. Only the pale-blue Magical Girl stood tall and unafraid. Countless butterflies emerged from her body, fearlessly crashing into the storm of fire weapons.

Those butterflies clung to the rain of weapons, slowly eroding them, until all the crimson weapons were soaked in pale blue.

Then they reversed direction, now aimed directly at Jiang Keke!

Jiang Si's heart tightened.

What garbage Exotic Flame!

No wonder it could only rank eleventh!

Anything below the top ten Exotic Flames was just a toy!

"In the Magic Kingdom, ordinary magic isn't so useful."

The pale-blue Magical Girl smiled as she spoke. "Only Holy Beasts transcend everything!"

Jiang Si, controlling Keke's body, casually shattered the rebounding weapons and grabbed one of the eroded greatswords.

He quickly discovered the reason.

This place had been enveloped by the rules of the Magic Kingdom.

And the rule of the Magic Kingdom was that the magic and power used by Holy Beasts would, in terms of status, suppress the power of Magical Girls.

In other words, they had no shame at all. To forcefully promote the Beast Taming Genre, they had essentially sealed away the power of Magical Girls.

It wasn't that it was completely unusable.

But in terms of status, the suppression of Magical Girl power by these Holy Beasts was like the Beast of Eternity suppressing Disaster Beasts—pure top-down dominance.

It forced you to pursue the Beast Taming path.

The pale-blue Magical Girl took a step forward, appearing right before Jiang Keke.

Her expression was cold and indifferent. "Don't blame me for being ruthless. Blame yourself for not understanding the power of the Magic Kingdom. Since the World Tree chose you as the End of All Things, the position of savior has already been reserved. There's no room for you to participate!"

As she spoke, the butterflies behind her nearly enveloped her entire body. Pale-blue mana emitted faint powders as she punched, cracking the Endless Fire Domain beside Jiang Keke!

Jiang Keke retaliated with a kick, but the overwhelming force couldn't budge the pale-blue Magical Girl in the slightest!

This cheating rule directly rendered Magical Girl power completely unable to inflict any effective damage on someone protected by the power of a Holy Beast!

Pushing the Beast Taming Genre this far was practically a death sentence!

The pale-blue Magical Girl sneered, moving in close to grab Keke's ankle and snap it.

But Keke quickly withdrew her leg and kicked again, forcing her back.

"Give up! Without obtaining a Holy Beast egg from the Magic Kingdom and raising your own Holy Beast, you cannot harm us in the slightest!"

The Incubators below were also surprised.

They hadn't expected that Jiang Keke, who seemed to be all bluster, was actually completely ignorant of the Magic Kingdom's rules and couldn't contend with the higher-status power of Holy Beasts.

Seeing that the Mental Landscape was about to shatter and her Personal Reality was on the verge of melting down, leaving Jiang Keke a lamb to the slaughter, the other Incubators actually started to step forward to intervene.

After all, this was a rare genius!

"Jiang Keke is mine!"

"Mine, mine!"

"Don't fight, don't fight..."

"With me to guide her talent, she'll enter the Saint Domain within half a year!"

"Don't be afraid, Keke! I'm here to help you!"

As the Incubators chattered and moved to assist.

Jiang Keke's face broke into a slight smile. "I appreciate your kind intentions, ladies and gentlemen."

"What does it matter if the rules are different? What does it matter if the path is broken? A true strong person, even when reaching the peak of their path, will still use their own two feet to blaze a new trail!"

With that, Jiang Keke stepped forward without a care, battle intent blazing, and swung a fist at the pale-blue Magical Girl!

"I summon my fist as my Holy Beast! Attack!"

In that instant, Jiang Keke's fist transcended being merely a Magical Girl's fist and became an independent Holy Beast!

One punch shattered the pale-blue Magical Girl's fist, and with undiminished momentum, it crashed into her chest!

She flew backward like a broken doll, slamming into the edge of the Endless Fire Domain before slowly sliding down. The Incubators' clamor and expressions were frozen in that moment.

The pale-blue Magical Girl, now an opponent, widened her eyes, desperately trying to see what Jiang Keke had done.

"I summon my right leg as my Holy Beast..."

"That's not a Holy Beast at all!"

Before the pale-blue Magical Girl could finish her roar, Keke descended like a meteor and violently stomped her foot onto the girl's forehead!

She had actually broken through the Holy Beast's defenses, driving her brain deep into the ground of the Endless Fire Domain.

The pale-blue Magical Girl struggled, grabbing mud from the ground beside her and flinging it at Jiang Keke.

It was like a petulant, unwilling tantrum.

But Jiang Keke stomped down again even harder!

The pale-blue Magical Girl's lower body bounced up, and half her body, along with her head, was crushed into the ground!

The raised body quickly lost the protection of the Magical Outfit, reverting from Magical Girl transformation state back into an Incubator.

All the Incubators stared dumbfounded at the crimson Magical Girl, Keke.

What did you just summon?

How did using your own body as a summoning beast still somehow comply with the Magic Kingdom's rules?

How did you exploit that loophole? The Magic Kingdom's rules shouldn't be so easy to break...

It completely defied common sense!

"You all."

When Jiang Keke spoke again, the many Incubators immediately snapped out of it and quickly stood at attention before her. "Speak, please speak."

"Do you know what grudge she had against Keke?"

The Incubators exchanged glances, and one that looked like a small flying squirrel floated forward. "She was from the Holy Beast salvation faction."

"Holy Beast salvation?"

"Exactly. In the Magic Kingdom, as Holy Beasts have grown in status, there's a group of Holy Beast supporters who believe that Holy Beasts transcend everything. They think Holy Beasts should be the ones to save the world, replacing the World Tree system as the future."

Another Incubator added, "But not long ago, the World Tree personally chose Jiang Keke—that is, you—as the savior, as the End of All Things. Of course, this is just a reserve position. But they couldn't contain their impatience and wanted to replace you."

"We, on the other hand, aren't interested in that. We just want to raise excellent Holy Beast Tamers."

"Holy Beast Tamers? End of All Things?"

Jiang Keke stared blankly at the remaining Incubators.

Our little Keke achieved fame at a young age. At twelve, she had already conquered the heavens, ignited divine fire, and taken an alternative path to enlightenment. She could be called supreme—a burgeoning power of invincible strength...

At the same age of twelve, defying heaven itself, she was a match for even the Primordial Heavenly Emperor!

"When did..."

Keke said coldly, "beasts get a seat at the table?"

The pale-white Bone-Spirit Cold Flame danced, licking around the Incubators' bodies.

Ready to consume them at any moment.

The Incubators fell silent before cautiously explaining, "Holy Beasts are different..."

"They're all the same." Keke tilted her head, looking at the Incubators, a hungry, bloodthirsty gleam in her eyes.

"They're all just beasts. If they can't provide emotional value, then they'll provide nutritional value."

Time to start eating.

As long as it wasn't beast milk, it wouldn't make her stupid.

Back then, the young Primordial Heavenly Emperor devoured the geniuses, holy sons, and demonic beasts of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths like a human-shaped glutton. The Three Thousand Ancient Paths witnessed him tearing apart freakish mutants and roasting great demons live—truly the greatest food stream of the Immortal Ancient era. Now, it wouldn't be a problem for him to eat through the Magic Kingdom's Holy Beasts and Incubators on Keke's behalf!

His gaze grew increasingly hostile.

This was Jiang Keke's Mental Landscape domain, but he was using Jiang Si's Personal Reality.

Otherwise, there was no way he could have summoned his own fists and feet as Holy Beasts.

He had simply, by relying on his own powerful Personal Reality, adjusted a portion of his mana to match the Holy Beast attributes specified by the Magic Kingdom's rules.

Even for Jiang Si, pulling off this maneuver was no simple feat. After all, he was still using Keke's body, and its various attributes didn't support him overcoming the rules through sheer force.

If two punches didn't kill, they'd be out of luck.

Entering the Magic Kingdom in this state was still too troublesome.

"The vast majority of people in the Magic Kingdom welcome you. Please don't mind this small incident. We'll ensure your safety from now on."

He wasn't a bloodthirsty, violent person. It wouldn't hurt to wait and see for now.

Glancing at the cautious Incubators, Jiang Si only felt a headache coming on.

What troubled him wasn't this, but the fact that without using Keke's body, he would have to enter the Magic Kingdom using Shion's body, losing the chance to level up step by step and glorify his Dao sect.

If he used Keke's body but refused to accept the Beast Taming path, degrading himself, it would be too unstable. He would have to raise a Holy Beast as a safety net.

Caught between a rock and a hard place.

But after much thought, compared to swallowing the crap of the Beast Taming Genre, Jiang Si found he couldn't accept losing the thrill of leveling up step by step, climbing from the bottom to overturn the Magic Kingdom.

Of two evils, choose the lesser. Of two goods, choose the greater.

So, under the gaze of the many Incubators, the lord of the Fire Domain before them, the student of the Purple Demon Lord of Azure Cloud, the fastest Blooming legend in the Disaster Control Bureau, the Hope of Beihai, the Mythical King of the South China Magical Girl Valorous Contest Arena, the new-generation peak Magical Girl Ruri saved by Senior Blue—

Clenched her fist, her whole body trembling slightly. She shook her head helplessly, then twitched the corner of her mouth. Her body shuddered as she let out two bitter laughs. She licked her lips, scratched her head, rubbed her nose, stepped forward to face the Incubators, took a deep breath, and revealed in her eyes three parts killing intent, three parts indifference, three parts heartlessness, and one part fury.

"I also want to become an excellent Holy Beast Tamer."

A wave of nausea surged up.

She never thought the day would come when she would have to say such disgusting words.

It was an insult to all her years of cultivating immortality!

But.

Endure!

Maintaining a blank expression, Jiang Si withdrew Keke's Mental Landscape. As the flames dissipated into the sky and they returned to the Heavenly Ladder, Silver Lotus and An Shiyu were the first to rush over.

"Jiang... Keke, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"Where's the enemy just now! How dare they bully a Magical Girl from our Beihai Disaster Control Bureau! As captain, I will not tolerate this! I'm filing a complaint!"

The Incubators on the opposite side of the gate could only smile wryly.

"Don't worry. Jiang Keke is fine. On the contrary, the Incubator who attacked her is dead. But don't worry. In the Magic Kingdom, Incubators who attack newcomers like that won't have their deaths investigated even if they're killed."

Blackberry and Qingluan both sighed in relief on that side, patting their chests.

Qingluan especially looked at Jiang Keke with eyes full of anticipation.

A chance to save her senior...

"Magical Girls who have passed the test, please come in first."

Blueberry and Milkshake immediately crowded over, stars shining in their admiring eyes. "Senior Magical Girl Ruri is so amazing!"

"That's right, that's right! And Senior Medicine Elder, who swapped bodies with her, is amazing too!"

"Can we become your disciples?"

"I want to, I want to!"

Silver Lotus finally couldn't stand it anymore and squeezed in between the two girls. "No can do. Keke is very busy. She doesn't have time to teach anyone."

An Shiyu nodded vigorously beside her, copying the "that's right" girl. "That's right, that's right. Don't cause trouble for Keke."

Blueberry and Milkshake both looked a little disappointed.

But then Jiang Keke suddenly spoke up. "If you can get into the Magic Kingdom, I might consider taking you as my disciples."

"Huh?"

An Shiyu and Silver Lotus were both stunned. They hadn't expected Jiang Si to suddenly be so agreeable!

Blueberry and Milkshake immediately broke into smiles. "Yay! Teacher Keke!"

"Only call me teacher after you enter the Magic Kingdom."

"Okay, Teacher Keke!"

An Shiyu and Silver Lotus exchanged a glance and quickly chimed in. "Teacher Keke..."

"Get lost."

The two of them immediately drooped their heads dejectedly.

"Out with the old, in with the new," Mùjǐn couldn't help but remark. "Now you see that Jiang Si likes the new and tires of the old. He meets new girls and leaves us behind. But there's nothing we can do, since we like him. Those favored have no fear..."

"That's not true at all."

Even as she verbally refuted it, An Shiyu couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

Jiang Si wouldn't really prefer the new girls he meets, would he?

Liking the new and tiring of the old was unacceptable...

Just as she and Yiyi were worrying about this, the Incubator leading them finally stopped.

Then, looking up, they found themselves at a ranch.

When the ranch's gate swung open, an endless, vast grassland greeted them, carrying a cool breeze that opened up their view.

And in the center of that great grassland were laid out a massive number of eggs.

"Before you can enter the Magic Kingdom, you must first obtain your own Holy Beast. Choose an egg you like and raise it from a young age. Each Magical Girl can only bond with one Holy Beast. Once a Holy Beast dies, you lose your status as a Holy Beast Tamer and may never obtain another one. So you must choose carefully—this Holy Beast may be your companion for life..."

Blueberry and Milkshake immediately raised their hands. "We heard there are special Holy Beasts, right?"

"Yes. There's about a one-in-a-thousand chance of obtaining an odd-colored Holy Beast. Their color differs from other Holy Beasts, and their abilities are exceptionally outstanding."

Blueberry and Milkshake chattered excitedly. "We should farm for an odd-colored one first! Pick the prettiest!"

"Wrong." Jiang Keke cut them off. "Prioritize personality first, strength second."

"Personality can't be farmed," the Incubator explained. "Holy Beasts all have unique personalities. Magical Girls need to constantly accompany them, get used to them, adapt to them, and build rapport with them through nurturing. That's what Beast Taming is all about. The Beast Taming Talent screening is to find geniuses who can better raise Holy Beasts and form bonds with them..."

By then, Silver Lotus and An Shiyu had already chosen their eggs.

Each egg was already partially cracked, ready to be opened with a gentle pry.

It seemed they were mostly already hatched, left for the Magical Girls to choose.

When the girls took their Holy Beasts out of the eggshells, An Shiyu's was an eagle that immediately started scratching at her.

Given how small it was now, from a distance it even looked like a standing twig.

Yiyi's was a wolf. Yiyi, who was afraid of dogs, was immediately chased around.

The Incubator watched the two girls being tormented by their chosen Holy Beasts and laughed. "It's like this. Conflict and difficulty adjusting at the start are normal. That's why nurturing is necessary, to become a Holy Beast Tamer..."

Before he could finish, Jiang Si walked up to the last giant Holy Beast egg and casually cracked it open.

The Incubator jumped in fright. "Wait! That's the King of Beasts!"

A massive cat suddenly shot out of the eggshell, sinking its teeth into Keke's arm in an instant!

Its expression was ferocious beyond compare, carrying the unique pride and savagery of a feline!

It even drew blood!

Jiang Si had chosen the largest egg, and the Holy Beast that emerged was clearly out of the ordinary.

Not just Blueberry and Milkshake—even the Incubators were shocked!

"Watch out!"

But before anyone could finish, Magical Girl Ruri gently stroked the big cat's head.

"Good kitty. Bite down tight. Don't let go."

With that, her right fist suddenly rose, heavy as a mountain, and slammed into the big cat's skull!

One eye was nearly squeezed out of its socket as blood splattered. The big cat was about to scream.

Magical Girl Ruri clamped its mouth shut again. "Bite tight. Don't let go."

Another punch!

The big cat's skull caved inward, one eye already blinded. Blood flowed freely as it thrashed wildly, but Keke pinned it down with one knee, completely immobilizing it.

Punch after punch, steady and heavy, rained down on the big cat's skull. After an unknown number of punches—so many that even the Incubators were twitching and shuddering along with the big cat—Jiang Keke finally stopped.

The big cat now cowered submissively at her feet, constantly licking her shoes.

All the King of Beasts' pride and savagery had vanished without a trace, replaced by the docility of a true little kitten.

Jiang Si then grabbed it by the scruff of the neck and lifted it up.

He looked at Blueberry and Milkshake. "Learn anything?"

"We from the older generation always forge whatever stats we want ourselves. No need to farm."

So the stats really were beaten into existence!

Keke's legitimate entry into the Magic Kingdom proceeded smoothly.

However, Jiang Si's own smuggling in encountered some difficulties.

The channel that the Incubators had opened earlier—Jiang Si had naturally marked it. With Mùjǐn's Space Dao Fruit, he could cross over at any time.

As for the material-ghostification effect on the periphery, by using the ability granted by the Beast of Eternity to infuse a portion of the Eternal's high-status polluting power into his soul to create a smokescreen, he could blur the boundary between his soul and the material world, thus avoiding being turned into a material ghost.

But just as he managed to avoid the effect and rushed through the channel in one go...

He didn't see the Magic Kingdom.

Controlling Keke's body within the Magic Kingdom, he could roughly make out the scope of its external outline.

But here, on the other side, from the moment he stepped into the channel and followed the roots all the way forward, Jiang Si still hadn't seen the Magic Kingdom.

On the contrary, the deeper he went, passing through hazy, indistinct areas, the more tree roots appeared beneath his feet, until they finally connected to some enormous trunk!

Jiang Si finally stopped and looked up.

An immense, endlessly towering tree appeared before his eyes.

Rustling leaves churned and fell from above. Jiang Si stared at the pitch-black branches above him, falling silent.

Those falling leaves—gray-white, withered, and yellow—many of them were worlds that his Divine Sense had once detected.

This World Tree.

Was withering.

Turning back to look, the leaf that was his path here was, unsurprisingly, hanging on a distant branch, battered and torn, yet tremblingly connected to the dark, withered tip.

In the largest withered leaf, a layer of gray-white silently dyed its color.

Beihai. Was turning into Dregs.
