Puti and Taking a Master

In the vast universe, countless light-years away from Earth...

Inside a majestic Temple, a tall figure sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes in confusion, casting his gaze, which seemed to possess divine light, upon the earth.

Make room!

The figure suddenly stood up, a slight wrinkle appearing on his smooth brows.

It was a tall figure with the body of a long, coiled snake and the upper body of a human. His purple beard hung naturally to the ground, and his eyelids were slightly drooping. However, an endless pressure emanated from him, a terrifying pressure that made people tremble and involuntarily submit.

This oppressive aura was like an endless universe; though not violent, it left people with no will to resist.

Then, without any visible movement from the tall figure, his gaze narrowed slightly, and a massive spatial rift opened directly in front of him. He took a step forward and reappeared ten thousand meters above the Earth.

Strangely, from the moment this enormous spatial rift appeared until it disappeared, and even as this tall figure stood silently in the void, its gaze fixed on the Pacific Ocean on Earth, no Satellite or surveillance device on Earth could detect its existence!

"How could Special Lifeform similar to the Monster Clan be born in a peculiar galaxy like Earth?"

The tall figure gazed at the Earth with a puzzled look, or perhaps at the Big Dog in the Pacific Ocean.

The tall figure flipped his wrist, and a unique token, about the size of a palm and exquisitely crafted with special patterns, appeared in his hand. This terrifyingly powerful man, with the body of a snake and the upper body of a human, suddenly became unusually respectful, and a suppressed excited voice came from his mouth, directly entering the unique token.

"Master, your disciple ' Puti ' requests an audience. Special Lifeform resembling Monster Clan has appeared on Earth, which may trigger a great war between humans and Monster Clan. What should we do if this affects Earth?"

After Puti finished speaking, she stood respectfully to the side, awaiting the other party's response. 💛🐜 💋♟

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no reply. Puti showed no impatience; on the contrary, he became even more respectful.

"Ignore it."

A majestic, thunderous voice emanated from the token, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently. It exploded directly beside the tall figure Puti.

"Yes."

Puti bowed respectfully, and after everything calmed down, he flipped his wrist to put away the token, then turned his gaze back to the Big Dog.

Suddenly, Puti smiled and said to himself, "My teacher told me not to worry about the changes on Earth, but he didn't stop me from taking on disciples. A Special Lifeform born on Earth is barely qualified to be my disciple."

Then, Puti's figure flashed and disappeared into the vast universe, while the surrounding Satellite continued to work diligently, as if everything that had just happened was nothing but a dream.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Luo Zhe was standing in front of the Big Dog, scolding it severely.

"Aren't you cheeky? Aren't you cheeky?"

"You said you'd only play for a little while and then come back, look at you, how wild you've been playing!"

"You dared to wander around in this weather, ignoring everything I said. Now look what happened! You're suffering now!"

Will you dare to be naughty again in the future?

Looking at the charred wounds on the Big Dog's body, which faintly smelled of burnt meat, and the once smooth and neat scales that were now missing pieces here and there, Luo Zhe felt both heartache and anger.

The Big Dog seemed to know it had done something wrong. It hung its head, lay on the rocks, and looked at Luo Zhe with a wronged expression. It didn't even stick out its tongue and drool anymore, looking like a child who had done something wrong looking at its parents.

"You--"

Just as Luo Zhe was about to speak, everything went black before his eyes. He saw a tall figure beside him that blotted out the sky, and an endless aura of time and space spread freely around them. 💔♜ 🍔🔥

He instinctively looked up and asked, "Brother, who are you?" Then Luo Zhe sensed something was wrong; where did this super strong expert come from?

He grabbed the Big Dog and instantly took to the air, trying to leave the spot. However, Luo Zhe had already used all his strength, his magnetic field, Genetic Origin Energy, and Spiritual Force all erupted, and he tried to fly away quickly, but he found that he couldn't do it at all. He felt the whistling wind echoing in his ears, but his body was just flying in place above the reef.

"Spatial folding!" Luo Zhe thought to himself.

His body stopped, abandoning the futile resistance. His gaze fell upon the tall figure with the body of a snake and the upper body of a human, sensing the rich aura of time and space emanating from the other. A thought popped into his mind, "This is a Lord of the Universe."

Oh my god!

How could a Lord of the Universe appear on such a tiny planet as Earth!?

Despite his inner turmoil, Luo Zhe's face remained impassive. He bowed slightly to the tall figure with respect, but not servility, and said, "Respected expert, what business do you have with us?"

Since there was no way to escape, Luo Zhe simply stopped struggling, landed on the reef next to Puti, and looked up.

This Lord of the Universe appeared to be human, with a snake's body and a human upper body, somewhat resembling one of the "Snake People" races among the ancient orcs.

Among the races of the universe, ape-men, werewolves, snake-men, and so on are all broad categories, each of which can be further subdivided into many races, but they all belong to the category of humanity.

The Lord of the Universe, exuding a powerful and ancient aura, watched Luo Zhe's every move with a smile, while also carefully observing the Big Dog, his eyes filled with kindness.

"Don't worry, I mean you no harm."

Puti looked down at Luo Zhe, his thick, long purple beard hanging down naturally, and smiled. "My name is Puti. I just happened to be passing by. I found that this companion of yours has a connection with me, and I would like to take him as my disciple. What do you think?"

With a smile in her eyes, Puti quietly looked at the Big Dog, seemingly waiting for its answer.

Luo Zhe strode forward, blocking the Big Dog's path, and politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, esteemed expert, my Big Dog is still young and hasn't learned how to speak yet. I'm very grateful for your appreciation, but my Big Dog has limited talent. If it were to become your disciple, I'm afraid it would tarnish your reputation."

Only then did Puti truly focus her attention on Luo Zhe, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Puti knew Earth far better than Luo Zhe. Compared to the frail bodies of Earth Humans, Luo Zhe's current life level was in no way inferior to that of most life forms in the universe. And most importantly, Luo Zhe did not have the aura of someone who had cultivated a secret manual.

He shook his head to himself and said, "It's a pity that he doesn't have the talent of Spirit Reader. I'm afraid he will have difficulty inheriting his teacher's will and becoming the master of the Star Tower in the future." His mental sea was completely empty, which was a misjudgment on Puti.

Thinking this to himself, Puti smiled calmly and said, "Big Dog? That's an interesting name. But this concerns him personally, so why don't you let him say it himself?"

"Say it yourself?" Luo Zhe looked at the Big Dog staring at Puti with a solemn expression, puzzled. Wasn't it unable to speak?

"Given your status, if you continue to stay by his side, you'll likely only bring him endless war and pain. But if you come with me, I can give you the best guidance, and I can even promise to help him enter the Cosmic Humans civilization. After you've completed your studies, you can return and see him again. Why not?"

Puti looked at the Big Dog and smiled, "Although my strength may not be among the top in the universe, I am still a powerful figure in my own right. Teaching you right now is more than enough for me. Why not become my disciple and have the opportunity to step into the ranks of the universe's strongest?"

"Which truly strong person doesn't have a multitude of opportunities? How can you truly grow by just following them? Do you really want to see them suffer hardships in the future, yet be powerless to help?"

The Big Dog stood silently for a moment, then turned to look at Luo Zhe, and then looked up at the tall Puti, seemingly hesitant.

Meanwhile, Luo Zhe was also torn between his inner thoughts and his own. Even though the Big Dog was just a "Adjutant" to him, and even if he were to unfortunately perish, he would take over the Big Dog's body and transform back into his true self.

But in the end, it's just a clueless, ignorant Big Dog right now. How could Luo Zhe feel at ease letting it be taken away like this, especially if something were to happen to it?

"I--"

"I do!"

Just as Luo Zhe was about to refuse again, he heard a childish voice from the side. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Big Dog with its mouth wide open, saying logically, "I'll go with you, I can even become your disciple. But you can't seal his memories, and you can't break any of the promises you made earlier."

"You must help him enter the Cosmic Humans, and you must also leave him enough treasures so that he has the resources to grow!"

Puti burst into loud laughter, which caused the surrounding sea to churn and huge waves to crash in all directions. "The first thing I'll teach you is that you should believe in the promises of a strong person; it's the dignity of the strong! But I can promise you all of these things. No problem!"

Before Luo Zhe could react, the snake-man and the dog had already made their decision in just a few words, giving Luo Zhe no chance to refuse.

"This—" Luo Zhe stared blankly at the Big Dog, not knowing where to begin.

The Big Dog grinned and said, "Didn't expect that, did you? I can actually talk, but the name you gave me, 'Big Dog, ' is too awful, so I just didn't want to respond to you."

Luo Zhe's face stiffened, his heart filled with mixed feelings. It turned out that this wasn't his own dog, but his stepmother's!

A surge of anger welled up inside her, and she slapped the Big Dog hard on the head, yelling, "That'll teach you to shut up!"
