Tang Yue knew that no matter how she explained it now, it would be futile.
Just then.
The Black Snake flicked out its tongue, its gaze toward Fu Ye carrying both fear and goodwill.
Although Tang Zhong knew Fu Ye was extremely powerful, seeing the Black Snake—whose strength rivaled that of a Supreme Monarch—show him goodwill still left him deeply emotional.
Just then, Fu Ye spoke.
"Tang Yue, your guardian beast actually has a rather good bloodline. It is a descendant of the Divine Beast Xuanwu."
"If it had sufficient resources for cultivation, it could break through to the realm of an elementary emperor. Unfortunately, after so many years, its potential has nearly been exhausted. Otherwise, it should have been able to reach the Intermediate Emperor level."
Hearing Fu Ye's words, Tang Yue froze in place, while Tang Zhong was completely petrified.

Fu Ye's next words poured a bucket of cold water over them.
"Unfortunately, Shenzhou's upper echelons would never allow such a thing to happen. While an emperor-level Totem Beast could deter foreign enemies, it would also be a restraint to them."
"Those people have grown accustomed to selfishness. To consolidate their dominant positions, they would never permit a creature capable of overturning them to exist."

"Alright, little snake, go back and keep sleeping for now. Who can say what the future holds? Perhaps by some stroke of fortune, you really will break through the emperor-level bottleneck."

Then, its gaze became filled with respect
