Chapter 10: Lilith

Boom—!

Inside a palace composed of coral and gemstones, lightning danced frantically.

"It is the Chaos Sea!" On the throne in the deepest part of the palace sat a man wearing a simple robe; his ears were pointed and tall, and his facial features were deep and handsome.

But what was more striking was the tyrannical aura upon him, as if he might throw a spear of lightning down at the sea at any moment.

He gazed into the distance at the Giant King's Court, his tone holding undisguised longing; he had coveted the Chaos Sea for a long time.

"This time is dangerous." Only a beautiful and noble Elf woman stood beside him; her expression was very grave, and she was more rational than the Elf King.

"Wanting to control the Chaos Sea, how could that be an easy task?" Thick lightning erupted from the Elf King's body, shaking the entire palace violently. "I couldn't do it before, and that dragon had no way either!"

"But the Chaos Sea has very likely already been controlled; did you not see that Sun?" the Elf Queen Gaoxinamu said coldly.

"Sun? I want to eat it!" The Elf King's irritability seemed to be fused into his bloodline; his voice was like thunder, making no attempt to hide his longing for the Sun.

In the eyes of these Ancient Gods, adjacent or even non-adjacent Pathways were all edible, it was just that adjacent Pathways were "tastier."

"Kill that Sun, the Chaos Sea and He will both be mine!" The Elf King's voice was filled with fanaticism, and there was even an urge to descend upon the Giant King's Court immediately.

"That dragon has the same idea as me!"

"The best case scenario is to stew the dragon and the Sun together, then consume the Chaos Sea!"

Gaoxinamu remained cold, not moved in the slightest by the scene the Elf King described; she was the Queen of the Elves, and even more so the Elf King's strongest Anchor, capable of bringing the Tyrant of the sky down to the ground.

"That wolf is already unable to hold back; we shall enter the fray last!"

"That makes sense!" Gaoxinamu persuaded the Elf King, letting him suppress the tyranny and madness in his heart, waiting for the war situation at the Giant King's Court to become clear.

"Ancient Gods are just crazy, not stupid." Far away in the Sun God Divine Kingdom, Chumen once again emphasized this principle.

Sasriel had planted who knows how many nails among the various Ancient Gods over these years, able to obtain all kinds of first-hand intelligence; the major Ancient Gods were all restless now, preparing for war.

"Liweixide of the Dragon of Imagination is the only one I cannot infiltrate." Sasriel felt some regret.

"Hmm!" Chumen nodded lightly; the Pathway where the Dragon of Imagination resided was truly too cheap—if it isn't nerfed, it really can't be played!

"Fortunately, He is your target." Chumen turned his thoughts to his next actions. "Are you coming with me?"

Sasriel raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling somewhat tempted.

"If you don't go, it will be very difficult for me to convince Lilith." Chumen saw Sasriel's interest and pushed a little harder.

"I have many affairs to handle..." The Vice Sovereign of Heaven was not just a title; all the major matters of the God's Kingdom required his decision.

"Throw them to those fellows from just now." Chumen glanced at the few Angels in the distance. "They are all Angels now, how can they be so idle as to fight every day?"

"... Fine!" Sasriel gritted his teeth and nodded, finally deciding to go out for a trip; this had a legitimate reason!

"Medici, Leodero, you go and integrate the armies, prepare for war!"

"Osekus, you go and call Ouroboros, keep a constant watch on the changes in the war situation, and report directly to the Lord if there is anything!"

"..." Sasriel arranged the work in an orderly manner.

"Yes!" Medici and the others all turned serious.

"Let's go!" Finally, it was Chumen and Sasriel setting off together, heading toward Lilith's God's Kingdom.

"Sasriel has left?" The Ancient Sun God sensed it and looked toward the direction of Lilith's God's Kingdom; there was also a hint of surprise in his gaze.

"Dream has such an effect?" He spoke softly, having encountered something even he could not see through; the appearance of that thing allowed the humanity he represented—Sasriel—to be released more.

That madness originating from his essence seemed to have quieted down quite a bit, and along with it, his state was much better.

His state was even more difficult than Chumen had imagined.

The Mr. Fool of later generations climbed up from Sequence 9, and that was still in the Fifth Epoch where the influence of Mysteries was at its minimum; even after becoming a god, He almost became a mental patchwork monster.

Now that the Sun God was already a dual-Pathway True God, it would only be worse, and Sasriel was also his "firewall."

"However... dreams coming true?" The corner of the Ancient Sun God's mouth twitched. "It is that Sasriel is too tired, wants to rest, wants freedom..."

After spending a period of time with Chumen, Sasriel's humanity was abundant to a certain degree, closer to the him who had not yet fallen into the Chaos Sea.

"It is a good thing." The Ancient Sun God withdrew his gaze and prayed calmly.

"Come to think of it, you might not believe it, but this is my first time leaving the God's Kingdom." Sasriel and Chumen descended upon a region of blooming flowers; this place was near Lilith's God's Kingdom, and all kinds of flowers and trees were exceptionally lush.

"That is why I dragged you out." Chumen and Sasriel smiled at each other and looked at Lilith's God's Kingdom in the distance.

The Red Moon hung high, countless flowers and trees vied for beauty, a spring with Spirituality flowed everywhere, countless animals lived within it, and crops like rice, wheat, and melons could be seen everywhere.

Of course, there were also authentic Blood Clan.

"Lilith, an Ancient God of the Moon Pathway and part of the Mother Path, has even swallowed other Sequence Characteristics." Sasriel said. "But Her mental state is actually still quite good."

"You must be prepared; Lilith is the true embodiment of beauty." Sasriel looked at Chumen and smiled.

"The embodiment of... hiss!" Chumen saw that young girl figure appearing abruptly before the two of them.

She seemed to have manifested from that Red Moon; long blood-colored hair draped down, and she wore an ancient, beautiful dream-like dress, shrouded and surrounded by the moonlight.

All things shone because of Her existence, starlight gathered in Her eyes; She stood barefoot upon the blooming flowers, speaking proudly and coldly.

"Who are you?!"

She was indeed very beautiful, not just in appearance, but even possessing a Symbol in the mystical sense; She was the concept of "beauty" itself!

"So it is this kind of beauty." Chumen was indeed stunned.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Lilith, I come representing the will of the Lord." Sunlight seemed to light up on Sasriel's body, causing Lilith, who seemed like the embodiment of the moon, to narrow her eyes slightly.

"The Sun that appeared earlier?" When that Sun shone upon the Astral World, all the Ancient Gods had seen it.

"We have a cooperation proposal here that you will not refuse."

Dream Phosphor sprinkled onto the Divinity Badge on Chumen's chest, which hummed softly; everything here was isolated from Fate.

The power of Hidden!

"Oh?" Lilith's expression did not change, but her gaze remained fixed on the two, her body gradually tensing up.

"Eh?" Sasriel and Chumen looked at each other. "Ancient Gods are indeed all a bit abnormal."

Perhaps it was because of the pride and madness of the Ancient Gods, or perhaps she wanted to test whether the two had the ability to cooperate with the noble Ancestor of Blood.

In short, this Ancestor of Blood had shimmering moonlight spilling onto his body, strand by strand, gradually forming a galaxy.
