"From now on, this will be your workplace. If you need anything, just talk to Chris."
The backdrop of the conversation was a huge hall.
Semi-transparent golden glass had a sunlit flavor to it. At the top of the circular ceiling, there was a fierce bear claw mark, while below were various religious-style compartments.
This was the "Life Hall," the rule-level building created from the courtyard absorbing the "Broken Hand"... It was also the "zoo" that the big cat had been eagerly looking forward to.
On both sides of the heavily religious main hall, there were some transparent houses and fences, all clearly prepared for future residents...At present, the only inhabitant, Little Flame, was happily rolling around in his new home.
[Hidden World Courtyard’s new rule building: Life Hall, its functions are as follows...]
[Function 1: Akesuun’s Blessing (Mid-level Golden Ability): Within the hall, mortal species (below Gold) can be granted/revoked nine random Beastmen transformation techniques by consuming life-points. Note: This transformation technique is similar to Beastification Talent-holder.]
The seemingly unchanged ability, advancing from Lower Gold to Mid-level Gold, has improved greatly.
Originally there were seven Beastmen transformation techniques, which have now increased to nine. However, due to the small number of subjects, it is still unclear which new species have been added... But the outcome appears to be much stronger.

The only constraint is probably the same as other rule-level buildings, turning into a "money-burning" flow.
However, looking from another angle, this maynot be a bad thing for Lu Ping’an... At least, he now has a team benefit and yet another way for others to consume.
Although the usage method is quite subtle...
"Ten points for one random chance; 90% chance for one of the four Legions (lion and tiger, wolf-man, mouse-man, eagle-man), 10% chance for others. Fifty points for a high-level random chance; 70% chance for one of the four Legions, 30% chance for a special species... Is this some kind of gambling roulette?"
Lu Ping’an noticed that each person has only one opportunity to gamble, and once you win something, your next bet would consume your victory, followed by the same result.
High-level randomness can overlap low-level randomness... For example, if you get a bear-man result from standard randomness and then grit your teeth to bet on high-level randomness and get a mouse-man, you’ll be locked to the mouse-man result.
This is still not the worst trick.
"200 points for a super random chance; 70% chance for one of the four Legions, 25% chance for a special species, 5% chance for a fantasy species."
Apparently, this is an expensive game with some pitfalls.
Lu Ping’an asked again, and it turned out that the actual performance of this product surpassed that of a simple Taboo item stage after refinement.
After all, even among the original followers of the Beast God, there were not many special species and fantasy species.
"Fantasy species? I’ve never heard of it. By the way, my Lord... The Beast God’s army had some special transformation units, all very powerful. They were the generals of the army and were extremely rare and strong. One of them was the Red Blood Dragon General Kas, who was said to have the power of a huge dragon."
A huge dragon’s power? Was it a dragon-man? As soon as these words came out, many people’s eyes turned red instantly.
It is a symbol of power among the Beastified Subhumans on Earth and may not be displayed to ordinary Beastification Men.
Well, since there’s only one chance to gamble, many people would probably set their sights on the 5% chance of the super random... But it seems to be a deep trap no matter how you look at it.
However, from another perspective, having a maximum of three gambling chances is much better than the previous Broken Hand.
Just this one function is already enough for this place to be considered as a sacred land for the "Beast God."
This area covers a large area, but mysteriously, the entire courtyard’s space has also grown imperceptibly, seemingly due to a wave of courtyard benefits.
"...As a Life system, the Life system rules are well-fed this time."
The architectural style is heavily religious, which makes the new controller, Marian, feel a bit unusual.
It’s not that she is dissatisfied with the grand chapel, but it’s the style here....
"It reminds me of the headquarters of the Holy Fire Church. Look at the patterns around the dome; they all bear the insignia of fire and the sun..." Catherine said, before being glared at by her mother.
Beast God is also a kind of war god. Its religious architecture’s style is simple and straightforward, making wooden cages with iron bars.
This "artwork building complex" made of murals, glass, and mirrors made sunlight and color the protagonists of the buildings, a typical Sun God style. Only as the Main God could they have the time to focus on these styles and details.
In fact, the exterior features of the Rule-Level Building also express the internal rules it carries, and the Sun God’s rules have already been carried and awakened by the Beast God puppet.
"...fortunately, its rotten and mutated body is unable to carry the true Holy Flame, or else we would all die."
In the transparent chamber in the corner of the chapel, there was a slowly burning blaze, but it was not the usual crimson, but a brilliant golden yellow like sunlight.
That was a highly concentrated Holy Flame, the burning fire of the Divine.
It was like the morning sun, illuminating the entire courtyard, and bringing a hint of vitality to this silent place.
As long as they touched it, they would naturally receive the test of the Holy Flame... in a sense, this was a way to mass produce Holy Fire Knights and Holy Flame Priests.
[Function 2, selfless Sun Flame (Upper Gold): Accept it, or be killed by it]
[This is the last bloodline of the Sun God left in the world he loved, and he will not refuse anyone who seeks it, as long as you can withstand its scorching heat.]
[Note 1: It contains two ways of advancement for Holy Flame professions, but the rules are incomplete and can be perfected by consuming rules of the same source or similar types.]
[Note 2: It can produce Holy Fire professions and accelerate the growth of such professions.]
Using it would not require any cost, not even Life-points, and just when Lu Ping’an thought that the Life Bank, which demanded money even when they were dying, actually acted like a human for the first time...
"What? It charges admission and parking fees? That’s a pretty tough play."
Well, the Holy Flame doesn’t charge anything, the "selfless" Sun God doesn’t charge anything, is it too much for me, the building vendor Life Courtyard, to charge a toll and building usage fee?
"...Who did they learn this from..."
Looking at the building with the money-for-death engraved in its bones, Lu Ping’an felt increasingly subtle.
Luckily, the last function, a common ability of the "zoo", didn’t go crazy for money... it just had a stable fee.
[Function 3: Hall of Life (Mid-level Gold): The corresponding level of ’rule building for the Beast Taming series’, providing comprehensive services including animal taming, hybridization, and training.]
It seemed like a simple explanation, but its actual operational abilities were quite diverse.
For example, Little Flame was rolling around in its own room, and the temperature inside was enough to melt steel... just providing a suitable living environment for living creatures was a high-quality service.
"...Uh, thankfully, it’s not too expensive."
It’s impossible to not charge money, but considering the monthly rent of five points (based on demand), it follows a stable long-term revenue... business plan.
There were various other services, most of which Lu Ping’an didn’t understand, but judging from the satisfied looks of Big Cat and Fang Wen, the effects should be pretty good.
Here, the abilities of rule buildings and Rule-Level items have already differed.
The first two abilities were roughly equivalent, and as a rule-level building afterward, they all advanced one tier, with significantly improved effects.
And the third item of the original Rule-Level item was a vicious curse of aggression, the kind that really turned people into wild animals... Now, it has unlocked the Beast Tamer’s universal ability.
"It should have activated some of the rules I left behind, and this is obviously an Earth-style practical item..." Big Cat concluded.
The Life Courtyard originally had her "invisible gene," and now, it has just obtained the same Life system and Beast Taming series of rules, and has been completely activated.
Compared to the previous replenishing Pillar of Time, the Life Courtyard, which was also part of the Life system, has had a fuller meal this time.
The Hand of the Divine was broken down, and the rules it contained turned into the new support for the Life Courtyard, as the advantages of the "otherworldly divine kingdom" were fully revealed for the first time.
"Just with these alone, there is the potential to become a powerful force and roam freely in the otherworlds..."
