Chapter 1819: 24.80 Sixth Violet Star - Invitation
The Beast God, Mo Minkong was surprised that the Ancient Lord, An Shizhe had brought the cubs to the beast kings’ territory. The World Eater was calm as he was questioned. It’s not like the children would be in danger with him there. Even if the world is to end, as long as he feels like it the children will not be harmed. Moreover, two among the three cubs are gods of almost the same equal strength as his. There is actually no need to worry much. Well, except for the little girl. However, his son, the God of Destruction, seemed to like the little one and even asked his father to look after her.
The Ancient Lord, An Shizhe said, "In the first place, the children wanted to find animals to play with the kind that can be ridden by them. Aren’t the beast kings the right choice?"
"That’s true but... they didn’t reject you?" Mo Minkong asked.
The World Eater, An Shizhe snorted, "Reject? Impossible! Do they want to die?"
"Anyway we’ve met two of them. One that looked like a black cat was used by the little girl as a mount and acted as her little teddy bear. As for the snake at the sea, it became a water slide for the children," added An Shizhe.
The Chief Warden and Mo Minkong who knew about the four beast kings immediately recognized the first two beast kings that were caught by their lord today.
"Black cat. Is that the Beast King of the Dark Rainforest? A Black Jaguar who is good with sneak attacks and assassination?" The Chief Warden, Lou Wuye mumbles, "Being a mount is not hard to imagine but... A teddy bear?"
"The snake in the sea. That should be the Flood Dragon Beast King that rules the waters. He was caught and used as a water slide. Damn, I can imagine it vividly and couldn’t help but laugh. Pfft~" The beast god, Mo Minkong mumbled.
The World Eater, An Shizhe said, "I’ve promised to bring them over there again tomorrow. Don’t forget to bring them over again as well. Just the children is enough, you old brats should do your jobs. I can bring them back home unharmed."
Mo Minkong had no need to decline. Moreover, they can leave Heri with them as a guardian. Literally just a guardian who watches over and the protection will still be left to the ancient lord.
The Beast God said, "Then I will send them over tomorrow as well."
During dinner everyone had eaten together. The cubs had shared their experience while playing. Mo Minkong was still alright as he had already heard about it before. But Hezi and Heri were stunned, after all, those are beast kings. One feared by all humans and one of their biggest enemies.
When the ancient god asked the children to visit them again tomorrow, they didn’t disagree. They knew that the children were safe and... would gain a lot being near a divinity much more powerful than the Beast God, Mo Minkong.
After dinner, they were once again sent back by System Yue who had opened a space portal to the Ancient Forest. Though it’s a bit slower than instant teleportation, no one questioned him why not use direct teleportation before. If they did ask, System Yue had to lie. Direct group teleportation can only be done by those with the bloodline of Hei Clan, the bloodline where the God of Space is born.

Meanwhile at the Killer Pavilion...
The Elf King Vega heard everything what happened after they had left and even watch the recording of the God of Destruction torturing the human for information what made him terrified is that this young nephew of him was soaked in blood yet his eyes are eerily calm also that playful smile on his face when he looked at the camera, he didn’t mind getting caught by him.
After watching the recording, Vega with his shaking hand stopped the video and tried to calm his erratically beating heart.
"My nephews aren’t just a beast king but also... Descended gods? Just what is happening in this world?" Vega murmured.
The elf king couldn’t calm down right away. He had also checked that man whom he had caught. He was completely different from before he left. If before he can see the determination of the man not to speak a word of what he knew about the mastermind of the event, after suffering from the hands of Hei Anjing, he would flinch whenever he felt someone coming over and speak everything he knew like a broken clock. All he wished was for his death to be fulfilled.
First says, "Lord Vega, the mastermind had been found. Should we retaliate?"
"Not yet. Let’s work with the Long Clan. We don’t know what kind of evil the Pei Clan is hiding. Moreover, their territory is within the human city, if we attacked and something unexpected happened, the human race would suffer the most. The only choice is to work with the military." The elf king Vega said.
He added, "It is also safer if the ones at the Barren Land had returned before we made our move. For now, let everyone focus on defending the pavilion and send a request for someone in the Long Clan to meet me."
"Send an Invitation Letter."
"I will send the letter myself," First said before disappearing into the shadows.
After being left alone in the office, Elf King Vega recalled the blessing that was given to him and the rest of the family. The Ancient Gods, they wouldn’t care much for mortals like us. Except for my brother-in-law, they won’t care at all. That’s what he would have thought if not for discovering the real identity of his nephews.
Maybe the real reason why their family is being given extra protection like a God’s blessing was because of the existence of his nephew. With this blessing they would be safer compared to the others.
The Elf King Vega murmured, "Aside from us, the only race most likely to receive protection is the Beastman Race."
Thinking about the Elven Race who had exiled him, that place still has a few of his family who love him and made a sacrifice just so he can be freed from the tribe’s punishment for loving a beastman.
"I should bring over my family to the ancient forest as well. Talking with my wife comes first and asking permission with my nephews as well. As for the rest, let’s not care about them. Since they can’t accept my wife, there is no need for me to make a move to protect them," Vega, the elf king mumbles.

At the Long Clan’s Palace...
The messenger who came back from the Killer Pavilion had reported the situation to Mu Liao and Marshal Long Tian. They were surprised to hear that the former Elf King who had joined the side of the beastman race to suddenly appear in the Killer Pavilion.
Mu Liao asked, "Are you sure it’s the former Elf King Vega?"
"I am sure, Boss. It’s definitely him!" The messenger said.
Mu Liao frowned and said, "But didn’t that man defect to the Beastmen Race with his family. Why would he suddenly appear in the Killer Pavilion?"
"The elf king said that the pavilion master is his friend and that Pavilion Master Xie had personally asked him to watch over his pavilion while he is out to the Barren Land. Also, they had caught the leader of the death soldiers that attacked the Killer Pavilion alive." The messenger said.
The marshal exclaimed, "He caught the leader?"
He knew how hard it would be to catch the leader of the death soldiers as he would be the first one to kill himself to keep the information he held in his head. They are the more cautious within the group and most powerful as well. Like how the leaders of the death soldiers that lead the attack on the Long Clan. Once they saw Mu Liao’s people they immediately killed themselves as they realized that the Long Clan had longed to know about their sudden invasion.
The messenger was about to answer but someone from the shadow had spoken, "Lord Vega had caught one and now, he is in the state that would answer any question. I invite the lord to come get answers with us about the mastermind of these events."
"You’ve truly made him talk? A leader of the death soldiers? It sounds absurd to me." Mu Liao said.
On the other hand, Long Tian was observing First. This is the only assassin from the Killer Pavilion aside from Xie Yun who had met the ancient lords.
Long Tian asked, "Was it truly the elf king who made the death soldier talk?"
"...Yes," First glanced at Mu Liao before answering.
The marshal understood the hidden meaning behind this reaction and his eyes glowed.
He said, "Good. I will go myself!"
"How can you be sure he is telling the truth? Obviously, he is lying just now," said Mu Liao as he noticed the assassin glance at him once before answering. Though he is confused, clearly, there is something for Long Tian to believe in this assassin’s words.
Long Tian looked at him and said, "When father returns you will understand everything. For now, I cannot tell you about them. Liao, I’m sneaking to the Killer Pavilion, please work with my brother in keeping the palace safe."
"Alright. I will wait for the old marshal. You better tell me everything when that time comes," Mu Liao said.
Long Tian sneaks in the middle of the night with First leading the way and heading to the Killer Pavilion.
