Beast Taming Star Journey

The strange stone in the lithium faction leader's hand exuded an unsettling aura, and I sensed a powerful force gathering within it. Oh no! This is probably some kind of forbidden object! I was about to warn Su Yao to be careful when I saw that she had already assumed a defensive stance, her eyes sharply fixed on the other party.

At the critical moment, a figure flashed past and stood in front of us. It was the Beastmaster!

"Stop!" he shouted sternly. "Chief Lithium, what are you doing?!"

The lithium chieftain's face was grim, and he remained silent, but the stone in his hand shone even brighter. Seeing this, the boron beastmaster dared not be careless and immediately summoned his beast—a gigantic rock giant—to block our path.

Just as tensions were about to rise, Elder Tan appeared. His hair and beard were all white, but he was vigorous and exuded a powerful aura.

He spoke slowly: "Chief Lithium, put it down. This war has gone on for too long; it's time to end it."

The Lithium Chief looked at Elder Carbon, a flicker of hesitation crossing his eyes, before finally slowly lowering the stone in his hand. I knew then that the crisis was temporarily averted.

As the smoke from the battlefield gradually dissipated, the various forces returned to the negotiating table. The Nitrogen Envoy wiped the sweat from his brow, his face showing a hint of weariness, but even more so, hope.

However, the hatred between the various forces remained deeply rooted, and the signing of a peace agreement remained a distant prospect. Looking at this stalemate, I was filled with anxiety.

Isn't there any other way? It suddenly occurred to me that perhaps I could personally visit the leaders of the various factions and try to move them with my sincerity and desire for peace.

I shared my idea with the Beast Tamer, who agreed with my approach and offered to accompany me. Thus began our long journey of persuasion.

We traveled to various factions, telling them about the suffering brought by war and the preciousness of peace. I shared my experiences on the battlefield and my hopes for the future with them without reservation.

Initially, many forces were hostile towards us and even refused to meet with us. But we did not give up. We tried again and again, and gradually opened their hearts with our sincerity and persistence.

My previous heroic performance on the battlefield earned me a lot of respect, making them believe that I was a trustworthy person.

Gradually, more and more forces began to set aside their hatred and were willing to return to the negotiating table. A relieved smile appeared on the face of the Nitrogen Envoy.

I knew that the dawn of peace had finally appeared. After a long day of travel, Su Yao and I returned to our tent. She had been quietly by my side the whole time, offering me support and encouragement.

She was sitting beside me, pouring me a cup of hot tea. Her hand rested gently on my arm, her eyes tender. I turned to look at her, my heart filled with happiness.

"Thank you, Su Yao," I said softly.

She smiled but didn't speak. Outside the tent, night deepened, and a bright moon hung high in the sky. I looked at Su Yao, and suddenly... Outside the tent, night deepened, and a bright moon hung high in the sky.

Looking at Su Yao, I was suddenly overwhelmed with an indescribable feeling of emotion. We had been through so much together during this time, from fighting side by side to sharing life and death, and our feelings for each other had grown stronger with each test.

“Su Yao,” I held her hand, feeling the warmth of her palm, “thank you for always being by my side.”

She smiled gently, her eyes sparkling like stars: "Silly boy, why are you thanking me? We're in this together."

I gently pulled her into my arms, feeling her heartbeat and breath. In that moment, all the fatigue and stress vanished, leaving only pure happiness and tranquility.

Over the next few days, the peace negotiations progressed exceptionally smoothly. All parties seemed to have set aside their hatred and genuinely wanted to end this protracted war.

The nitrogen envoy's smile grew brighter and brighter, and the signing of the peace agreement seemed imminent. However, I felt a vague unease in my heart.

Things are progressing too smoothly, which makes it feel somewhat unreal. In particular, the sudden shift in stance of several previously hardline minor factions, who are now actively supporting the peace agreement, makes me even more suspicious.

“Beast Tamer of Boron,” I found him and voiced my doubts, “have you noticed that something’s been off lately?”

He pondered for a moment and said, "I also sensed something unusual, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is."

“I have a feeling that someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes.” I frowned. “We must be careful.”

Over the next few days, I began my covert investigation. I discovered that several smaller factions that had switched sides were secretly in contact with the lithium group.

One of the key figures is the beryllium strategist, the strategist of the lithium faction. The beryllium strategist is cunning and treacherous, and has always been the brains of the lithium faction.

I suspect that he was unwilling to accept defeat and secretly instigated these smaller forces to oppose the peace agreement again and undermine the hard-won peace.

To confirm my suspicions, I decided to meet this beryllium strategist in person. I found an excuse and went alone to the lithium forces' camp.

In the tent, I met the strategist. He still had a gloomy look on his face, and his eyes gleamed with calculation.

"Nong Yu, what are you doing here?" he asked in an icy tone.

"I just wanted to ask if the lithium forces are truly sincere about the peace agreement." I looked him straight in the eye, trying to find a flaw in his expression.

He sneered, "What's it to you?"

“The signing of a peace agreement concerns the interests of everyone, so naturally I care,” I said firmly.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Nong Yu, I know you're smart, but there are some things you'd better not interfere with."

The threat in his tone confirmed my suspicions. Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly heard a commotion outside the tent.

A chill ran through me; a sense of foreboding washed over me…

"It seems our conversation is coming to an end." The strategist's lips curled into a cold smile, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes. "Someone's here to see you..."
