Yang Lin had never expected to encounter the escaped African lion as soon as he arrived here.
Had he known this would happen, he wouldn't have dared to come in alone even if it meant death.
Looking at the massive beast about to pounce on him, he had almost resigned himself to death.
However, at that crucial moment, a somewhat frail figure suddenly lunged from the side.
In this critical instant, it forcefully knocked the male African lion to the ground.
By the time Yang Lin came to his senses, that figure was already standing protectively in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an elderly male lion, skeletal and with patchy fur.
Unlike the prime-aged African lion from before, this elderly lion, though still large in frame, had little flesh on its bones, with only loose, sagging fur hanging on its body.
At this point, it probably weighed less than a hundred kilograms.
Even though it tried its best to appear fierce, its fallen canines and loose claws made it seem harmless.
Before the African lion in its prime, it was like an aging king using his last remnants of strength to defend his territory.
"Young Yang, run! This is my battle with this fellow!"
Just as Yang Lin was shocked by the scene before him, the elderly lion suddenly spoke in its aged voice.
Hearing its words, Yang Lin was stunned momentarily before looking at the prime-aged African lion.
Without doubt, although both were of the same species, their fighting capabilities were worlds apart.
Perhaps with just one clash, the elderly lion's throat would be torn out.
At this moment, the fierce-looking African lion finally spoke.
"Old timer, you're truly a disgrace to our lion kind, reduced to being kept by humans."
"If I were you, I would have devoured that little human behind you and escaped from here."
"But now you've lost that chance. You've tainted our lion's dignity, so today you must die here."
"I'll give you one chance to attack me head-on."
After speaking, the African lion's face showed a hint of arrogance.
As a former elite of its pride, being captured by humans had filled its heart with hatred.
But compared to that, it harbored even more hatred for its own kind who had lost their fighting spirit and merely clung to life.
That's why it had followed the scent to this place.
As soon as it finished speaking, the elderly lion's face showed an indescribable expression.
Once, it too had been the king of the grasslands, but now that former king had reached its twilight years.
Thinking of how three generations of Yang Lin's family had cared for it, its aged face suddenly showed a look of determination.
"No need for more words, let this old king test his mettle against you, the new king!"
As soon as the words left its mouth, the elderly lion prepared to attack.
However, at this moment, Yang Lin interrupted.
"Wait a moment, I think this isn't quite fair. If possible, I think I can help you."
Hearing Yang Lin's words, both the prime-aged African lion and the elderly lion showed confused expressions.
Especially the African lion, whose face showed a hint of mockery.
"Then you can join it in the fight."
"The help I'm talking about isn't about fighting alongside it," Yang Lin said as he cast a beam of insight.
Immediately, the elderly lion's talent information appeared before him.
[King's Bearing (Legendary Talent) Requires 10 talent points to activate]
[Savage Roar (Golden Talent) Requires 5 talent points to activate]
[Advanced Hunting (Golden Talent) Requires 5 talent points to activate]
[Lion King's Domain (Golden Talent) Requires 5 talent points to activate]
[Super Strength (Golden Talent) Requires 5 talent points to activate]
......
As Yang Lin expected, this former lion king possessed nothing but golden talents, and even had a legendary talent.
One could imagine just how powerful its bloodline must be.
Looking at these dazzling talents, Yang Lin bit his lip and selected [King's Bearing] at the top.
At this point, including the rewards from capturing other animals, he had 15 talent points in total, which was quite abundant.
If he were to activate normal green talents, he could awaken talents in 15 animals.
But this time, he decided to go big.
As the elderly lion's talent was activated, its nearly decrepit body suddenly felt a surge of powerful vitality emerging from within.
Its formerly loose muscles instantly bulged, and its patchy, falling fur began growing at a visible rate.
New teeth pushed out the loose and broken ones, and even its claws were completely renewed.
In less than a minute, its entire body was covered in golden fur, with its mane more magnificent than ever before, appearing as if forged from gold under the sunlight.
When all the changes had finished, it had transformed into an incredibly majestic beast, like an ancient divine beast stepping out of Egyptian wall paintings.
This twilight king had been given a second life in this moment.
Seeing this amazing transformation, Yang Lin was at a loss for words to describe his amazement.
Even when Big Sister Flower had transformed before, he hadn't felt this way.
If Big Sister Flower had been the king of the forest, then this perfect, divine mount-like majestic lion king before him was undoubtedly the king of all beasts.
At this moment, he could only say one thing: "Legendary talents are truly terrifying!"
Just as he was stunned by the lion king's appearance, the reborn lion king suddenly opened its mouth full of sharp teeth.
The next second, a thunderous roar that could make all beasts submit erupted from its mouth.
In an instant, all animals within a fifty-kilometer radius seemed to sense it.
Whether they were animals in the zoo, pets kept by nearby residents, or livestock in farms, they all prostrated themselves at this moment, as if paying homage to their new king.
Besides these animals, the visitors at West Rainbow Zoo and Lin Feng's arriving group were also frozen in place by this earth-shaking roar.
It took them quite a while to recover.
"What was that sound!"
Hearing Lin Feng's question, a nearby visitor responded with confusion:
"It sounds like a lion's roar, but also not quite."
"It came from inside the zoo, let's go see for ourselves."
"Could it be that escaped African lion?"
"Damn, doesn't that mean Director Yang is in danger?"
"Captain Lin, hurry and take your men to save Director Yang!"
As they spoke, the crowd rushed toward the small savanna area inside the park, led by Lin Feng and his action team members.
However, when they arrived at the small savanna, they were completely stunned by the scene before them.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
