The main character of "Enslaved Demons: The First Divine Beast Demonic Concubine" was a top-notch killer who had transmigrated to the Divine Martial Continent. She became the illegitimate daughter of the Celestial Emperor and subdued the five divine beasts. The demon lord was loved by her and did whatever she wanted. The five mythical beasts in the book were part of the eight mythical beasts in ancient times ~ 2. In "Supreme Wild Phoenix: Divine Beast Summoner", the protagonist was born in a Yin year, Yin month, and Yin day, and transmigrated to another world. He also had a pet contract with the four great beasts. In order to save the four Divine Beasts, she worked hand in hand with the evil-looking man to finally uncover the truth and become a Divine Beast Summoner. This book also perfectly explained the secrets of the eight divine beasts. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

No, they don't have the exact same meaning. 'Mythical' implies something related to myths, legends, or ancient beliefs. 'Fictional' just means not based in reality, whether it's part of a myth or not.

Mythology refers to stories that originate from human oral traditions and written culture, usually depicting supernatural or mysterious forces and their relationship to humans. These stories could be as ancient as Greek mythology or modern as American mythology. Mythical stories are widely spread and have been adapted and interpreted differently in different cultures and historical periods.
