In the empire's thousand-year history, it seemed that only the first emperor had ever raised a pet beast of a quasi-legendary race.
Lu Ran sighed with feeling when he heard this.
But there was no helping it.
In the empire's early days, the beast taming system had been in a phase of renewed development.
Unlike later generations, they had not cultivated while standing on their predecessors' shoulders.
It was just like how the path of Blue Star's First-Generation Beast Tamers had been harder than that of its Fourth-Generation Beast Tamers.
Thus, far more Beast Tamers had raised quasi-legendary races in the empire's later years than in its early and middle periods.
In fact, the legendary Beast Tamers born in each era had all emerged only toward the end of their respective eras.
This point in time really did leave Lu Ran with few choices.
The first emperor had raised a quasi-legendary fox.
The fourth empress had been fortunate enough to contract a descendant of a legendary lifeform. This was also why the third emperor had entrusted her with such a great responsibility, making her the first female emperor.
The Starfeather Butterfly...

That was just how incredible quasi-legendary potential was. In the absence of legendaries, pseudo-legendaries stood at the pinnacle, able to look down on all overlords.
Even Lu Ran was not confident that he could raise Sudden Death King and
