Chapter 49 Morning Star (Seeking recommendations and monthly votes)
Above the sky, everything was gray, like the calm before a storm, and a cold wind rose, like a mournful song of death.
The enormous soul-devouring demonic cloud slowly undulated in the air, approaching Dayuan City, giving off a feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the city and threatening to destroy it.
The terrifying body stirred up a whirlwind simply by moving.
"Is this guy really planning to attack the city?"
Lu Yu's expression was solemn. Putting aside the fact that his friends, such as the chairman and Uncle Qin, were still in the city, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.
Once Dayuan City is breached, it will be like the many satellite towns that were breached by monsters decades ago, facing a bloody massacre, and all the souls of everyone will become nourishment for this mysterious creature.
Once he loses the city's protection, he will find it difficult to move an inch in the dangerous wilderness, and he will not even be able to sleep peacefully. He will have to be on guard against attacks from various monsters at all times. At that time, his mental state will inevitably decline, and he will definitely be unable to cope with the upcoming nightmare attack.
But all he could do was take out his phone and notify the alliance to prepare for defense.
However, just as he was about to dial the number, he suddenly discovered that the Soul-Stealing Demon Cloud had stopped.
In front of it, on the huge white tower, countless beast sculptures seemed to come alive, forming an open star gate, surrounded by eleven closed illusory portals.
Suddenly it transformed into a giant funnel, drawing in the brilliance of the stars, turning into a dazzling galaxy hanging upside down in the sky, magnificent and beautiful.
"So beautiful!"
"Honey, come look at the starlight!"
"Wow, is the Beast Tower holding some kind of celebration?"
"..."
It happened during rush hour, and many people witnessed the stunning starlight, causing a sensation as they took out their phones to take pictures and upload them to social media, sparking heated discussions.
Unaware that danger was approaching.
Inside the Tower of Stars and Beasts, a formidable enemy looms.
The main control room at the top of the tower is equipped with a large number of screens, all of which are currently displaying a yellow high-energy alarm. All Alliance staff are busy searching for the source.
The leader was a middle-aged man with black hair, wearing a white lab coat and holding a coffee cup. His temples were gray, and there was a scar at the corner of his eye, which only added to his mature charm. He calmly drank his coffee amidst the noise.
He seemed like an outsider.

The sound of a door opening behind them rang out, and Zhou Cheng, the captain of the Ash Squad of the 17th Special Events and Ecological Treatment Combat Team, led his team members in.
He glanced at the man in front of the control panel, his lips twitching slightly. It seemed that no matter when he arrived, this man always had a coffee cup in his hand, yet he still maintained a businesslike demeanor as he asked:
"President Situ, have you found the source of the energy? Is it another evil god cult this time?"
The person in front of me is Situ Kong, the vice president of the Beast Taming Association of Dayuan City. He is one of the top experts in Dayuan City and was already a peak Morning Star expert ten years ago.
Situ Kong took a sip of coffee and replied unhurriedly, "It should be, and the energy fluctuations are coming from the direction of the abandoned city."
"An abandoned city!" Zhou Cheng's expression changed, and he asked solemnly, "Won't this affect the seal?"
The abandoned city was abandoned not only because it was contaminated by thick rust, but also because the followers summoned by the evil god cult were not dead, but sealed away.
Moreover, because of the special sealing method, even they have been unable to deal with it!
"Don't worry, they may not know about the seal or the being within it who is almost a [Superior]. After all, it happened decades ago." Situ Kong shook his head and continued, "As long as the [Tower] exists, the seal will continue. They are probably testing the power of the tower and want to attack the people in the city. You and the other special forces don't need to go. I estimate these guys will go into hiding soon."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the energy reaction began to decline rapidly, and it seemed that the guy had left. After a while, the energy reaction actually increased again, and then disappeared completely.
This is clearly a series of tests to the limits of the Starry Sky Beast Tower!
"hateful!"
Zhou Cheng clenched his fists, his face grim.
He is not afraid of a direct opponent, even if it is a hegemon or even a being above the hegemon, he can use the power of the [Tower] to annihilate or repel it.
But these guys who always hide in the shadows are really disgusting.
"Don't rush. When a wild beast enters a flock of sheep, it will eventually be unable to resist making a move. As hunters, you must have enough patience. I'll have to work hard and patrol more during this period."
Zhou Cheng nodded in agreement: "No problem."
"By the way!" Situ Kong turned around and looked at him, asking, "How are the 'Strange Things' at the bottom of the Tower doing?"
"I've checked..." Zhou Cheng hesitated for a moment, unsure how to describe it, before finally saying with a complicated expression, "Most of them remained rational."
Situ Kong nodded slightly, not wanting to discuss the topic further, and sighed, "It's a pity they won't be back for a while, otherwise we wouldn't be in so much trouble."
Zhou Cheng nodded, naturally knowing that the "they" Situ Kong mentioned referred to the president of the Beast Taming Association of Dayuan City and the other top combatants of Dayuan City. They were all bogged down by the mission three months ago, and even now they had not finished dealing with it, instead falling into a stalemate.
It was precisely because of their departure that a metropolis of millions of people was no longer as impenetrable as before, and cracks appeared.
Therefore, there have been increasing provocations from evil cults and demons lately, and we must remain extremely vigilant at all times.
Thinking of this, Zhou Cheng also felt a sense of urgency. Just as he was preparing to lead his team to patrol the city, he suddenly heard Situ Kong's voice in his ear:
"Entering the Mother River for the sublimation ceremony requires extraordinary rationality and unwavering faith. I expect you to become the morning star, bathed in the glory of kings."
"You're so nagging, I'll try my best."
Zhou Cheng, a cigarette dangling from his lips, a weary smile playing on his face, waved his hand and walked away with a flourish.
"It seems this guy hasn't recovered from the last incident. It's a miracle he didn't collapse during the forbidden event. But time is of the essence. Although a Gold-ranked cultivator with spiritual transformation can sweep away ordinary Gold-ranked Beastmasters, the one who ultimately dominates the battlefield is a powerhouse at the Morning Star rank or above."
Situ Kong gazed at Zhou Cheng's retreating figure, his eyes deep and unfathomable, and murmured softly:
"Hunters are not afraid of wild beasts, but they are afraid of rats sneaking into the granary. If the tower enters high-frequency operation, it will require more energy. Once the supply is insufficient, it will become a weakness."
Let's wait and see. If we're really short of energy, we'll open that place up. If it weren't for the fact that entering as a Beastmaster of Gold rank or higher would distort the rules and cause anomalies, I really wouldn't want to send some little guys on an adventure..."
At this point, Situ Kong took a sip of coffee, then suddenly realized the cup was empty. He instructed his secretary:
"Another cup, please!"
The secretary, dressed in a black stockings and office lady uniform, emptied the coffee box and spread her hands, saying, "President, the coffee is finished. This is the last box in the tower. If you want some, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"What!?"
For the first time, the vice president, who had remained unfazed by the invasion of the evil god cult, showed a look of astonishment.
Meanwhile, Lu Yu was also doing something thrilling...
