Chapter 1039: 16.85 First Red Star - Evening Feast and the danger brought by the World Eater.
While those left behind in the original world discussed how to torture the Elite Cla.s.s students with training, those in the Primitive World were now inside the Dinosaur Restaurant to eat dinner. Aside from public tables, the diner had private rooms, and those who a.s.sisted with gathering ingredients were a.s.signed a room per family. Mayonaka Yoru was a.s.signed a room, and his group was kept busy by their guides Baishi and Leafy.
The restaurant owner personally thanked Mayonaka Yoru after learning that his restaurant had received five whole Agilisaurus Dinosaurs thanks to him. He was usually content with one or two. Five is an unusual case. As a result, as the restaurant owner, he will not have to give a gathering mission for at least a month.
All kinds of dinosaur meat cuisine were served to them, including the anime meat Luffy of On* Pi*ce enjoys eating. Salads, soups, and rice are also available. Those who hadn"t eaten all day couldn"t help but drool and gulp when they saw this feast. A hotpot and samgyupsal set is also delivered to their table. All they had to do was put what they wanted to eat in the pot and grill what they wanted to eat.
Only Amber Dawn looked surprised at how similar this type of cooking appeared before her eyes. Hotpot and Samgyupsal were things only cooked on Earth, and she wondered if one of the world"s founders was a transmigrator like her. A genuine one, not one who has simply returned to where she came from. But, having lived in a world called Earth, she was aware of things that his family and friends were unaware of.
Esther Dawn asked, "I understand the use of the grill but... A pot of empty soup? Can this be eaten?"
"Brother! That"s a hotpot. You saw the ingredients around it, you only need to dip whatever you want into the soup and wait for it to boil a bit then you can eat. You can throw whatever you want in the pot and eat whatever you put in it." Amber Dawn explained.
Carnelian Dawn said, "So this is a hotpot. That sounds amazing~"
"Watch out, A"Lian! That pot is extremely hot. What do you want to eat? I"ll put it in the pot for you." Conri Lycaon said.
Carnelian Dawn honestly pointed at the meatb.a.l.l.s and some veggies rolls, "That! That one too!"
"Okay. Stay in the distance. I will cook it for you. Amy, teach me how to do it?" Conri Lycaon said.
Amber Dawn heard her friend"s request and taught him how to do it while putting all of the ingredients she wanted to eat in the pot. Esther Dawn was also interested in their conversation and listened in. Mayonaka Yoru and Asher Light, who only knew how to fry and grill food, stayed at the Samgyupsal corner and a.s.sisted with the grilling of the various types of meat. Not only was dinosaur meat served, but also pork, beef, and chicken. There is, of course, seafood like shrimp, crabs, lobsters, etc.
The majority of them are preoccupied with cooking and eating. Baishi and Leafy, the two guides, had their heads almost merging with their bowls as they ate their fill without hesitation. They knew that for a reserved table like this, each serving is almost considered unlimited until one is full. They don"t have to worry about the bill because it"s free.
Amber Dawn, who knew everything there was to know about food, taught her siblings and friends how to cook hotpot and eat samgyupsal properly. She showed them how to wrap the meat, rice, cheese, and other ingredients in lettuce and gave them each a bite. Carnelian Dawn prefers the hotpot, whereas her older brother prefers the warped ones and even made some for his lover. It was a very filling and satisfying dinner. They all left the restaurant with bloated stomachs.
Baishi and Leafy accompanied them to the Great Elder"s residence and then left. Carnelian Dawn and Leafy, who had similar personalities, had gotten along well during the day, despite their bickering the majority of the time. As expected, these two were the first to fall asleep and had to be carried back by their partners.
Baishi who was carrying Leafy the sleeping Leafy on his back said, "This is the Great Elder"s house. Just go in, she and your teacher should be waiting for you inside. Good luck in tomorrow"s trails."
"Thanks for today, Baishi and Leafy." Esther Dawn said.
Asher Light said, "It was such an enjoyable day! Be careful on your way back."
"See you again tomorrow." Conri Lycaon said while Carnelian Dawn was also sleeping in his arms after being carried like a child in his embrace.
These two men exchanged glances, both of them looking helpless. They couldn"t help but feel each other"s pain when it came to their partners, especially since they are so similar.
"We"ll keep an eye on your trials, and I wish you luck!" Baishi said as he walked away from his sleeping partner.
"Let"s go in so those who are tired and asleep can rest," Mayonaka Yoru said.
Only then did their group enter the house, where they were greeted by an elderly lady and their Instructor Keylan Light, who was lying on the ground unused. There are numerous bottles of wine in the living room, and the strong aroma of wine pervades the s.p.a.ce.
Great Elder Tuya said, "You guys are back. Great timing, your rooms are prepared."
"One more bottle. Just one more~" murmured Keylan Light in his drunken state.
Mayonaka Yoru said, "How much did your drink end up like this?" He is complaining about Instructor Keylan Light"s current state.
Asher Light sighed and used Purification Spell on his teacher, Keylan Light to make him somber, "Do you want me to cast Purification Spell on you as well, Elder?"
"Hm~ Yes, please. Thank you!" Great Elder Tuya said.
The effects of wine faded after the Holy Son cast the Purification Spell on the two who drank. Wines and liquors are poisonous to the human body. The Great Elder Tuya only had to wave his hand for all of the wine bottles in the living room to vanish, and even the lingering aroma had faded.
Amber Dawn asked, "Are you alright now?"
"Yes, thank you. Don"t worry," said Instructor Keylan Light.
Conri Lycaon asked, "Instructor, did the Lord with you haven"t returned yet?"
"Hmp! Who cares about him? He didn"t even bring me with him?" Keylan Light said, pouting.
Great Elder Tuya chuckled and said, "Come on. Let those old men talk on their own. They will be back tomorrow anyway."
"Who cares about him?!" Keylan Light said.
Tuya, the Great Elder said to the children. "You must have heard a lot about the trial from the people you met today. Do you still have something to ask this old lady about?"
"One question. Elder, does anyone die in this trial?" Esther Dawn asked.
Great Elder Tuya smiled at Esther Dawn and said, "Such a bright child. You still worry about the young ones beside you even at this point. Of course, there are no deaths. The trial is there to know the compatibility of the couple. If they fail they can try again until they succeed or choose another partner to try again. This is just a simple trial of love and destiny. There won"t be any danger in the trial itself. Well unless one seeks death or something."
"Because of the savage beast outside? Those are dinosaurs who are carnivorous and have bad tempers." Esther Dawn said.
"Great child! You also know about the Savage Beasts! That"s amazing. You found the most important information in the library alone. You are right! Savage Beast is dangerous. They eat whatever that comes before them. This is regardless of whether they are humans, animals, or dinosaurs. But don"t worry they won"t approach the city as the Beast G.o.d"s Blessing is strongest in this place." The Great Elder Tuya explained.
Conri Lycaon asked, "But what if an outsider divinity interfered, would you be able to fight it? Our world had something from the outside that got involved in our world. I saw its appearance when Lord Skoll pulled it out from the body of A"Lian."
"What kind of creature is it? That Lord Meizhou had to get involved!?"
"It looks like an eye. Its irises are blood red. It can speak a language. It"s mad for all negative emotions in the world and it says it loves to eat worlds. Does the Great Elder know what this being is?" Conri Lycaon asked.
The rest listened to their conversation and were dumbfounded. They can only listen yet not understand the content of their conversation. It was at this moment that Mikaela suddenly appeared behind Conri Lycaon.
Mikaela said, "I will borrow this child for a moment." Then he disappeared with Conri Lycaon while Carnelian Dawn was given to Esther Dawn before they disappeared.
Keylan Light reached out his hand but still failed to catch Mikaela making him angry, "Ah! b.a.s.t.a.r.d! How can you ignore me!?"
Mayonaka Yoru asked worriedly as the one who disappeared is his younger brother, "Instructor Keylan! Where is my younger brother?"
"Don"t worry, child. The G.o.ds just borrowed him for a bit. But that being he told us... Where have I heard it before..." Great Elder Tuya said. She suddenly fell deep in her thoughts as she tried to recall where she had read or heard that description of the being Conri Lycaon had done just now.
Keylan Light said, "You guys take a rest and go to sleep. Student Conri is safe. He will be back later."
The children exchanged glances, and Esther Dawn even grabbed his lover"s hands in comfort. They knew they couldn"t go into the place Conri Lycaon was dragged into, but they had no idea where it was.
"Yoru, let"s go. Conri will be back. He will be fine. Lord Mikaela is with him. Nothing will happen to him," Esther Dawn said quietly.
Sigh!
"All right, let"s go rest," Mayonaka Yoru said as he a.s.sisted his lover in carrying the youngest to the guest rooms. They didn"t even inquire as to how the previously non-existent guest rooms are now appearing. They simply slept the rest of the night away.

In the Domain of the Beast G.o.d...
Mikaela had reappeared, accompanied by Conri Lycaon. The child was taken aback by the white room covered in clouds into which he had unexpectedly appeared. He even saw an old man dressed in barbarian garb in a history book. He didn"t appear thin, but rather like a muscular grandfather.
Beast G.o.d spoke, "Is this the child that saw the World Eater remnants? I"m amazed he is alive."
"Sovereign Ruler Ye was there so... They saved my world," Mikaela said.
Beast G.o.d smiled at Conri Lycaon and said, "Child, come over. Join us to sit here. This old man just had a few questions. I heard you were the nearest to Lord G.o.d Ye when your mate"s body was possessed by that evil thing."
Conri Lycaon approached them with caution and sat at the same table as the two G.o.ds. He recognized the Old Man as the Beast G.o.d right away because he already knew Lord Mikaela was the Heavenly G.o.d of his world. He wasn"t afraid of them because, in comparison to Lord Skoll"s natural pressure, they were relatively mild.
"Please ask. I will try my best to answer." Conri Lycaon said politely.
The Beast G.o.d Shou asked, "Can we directly see your memories for a clear image? Of course, It wouldn"t cause harm to you or your memories. This old man just wants to see what that creature looks like."
"Then please go ahead." Conri Lycaon said as lowered his head.
He only felt a big hand falling on his head and a slight dizzy struck him. When he looked up he saw an image of what happened that day. It was from the perspective of how he experienced and saw that being.
"So this what happened? When I arrived on the scene the world was already about to be destroyed and Lord G.o.d Ye was enraged." Mikaela said
Beast G.o.d Shou asked, "Isn"t this creature fearless? He is taunting the Evilest G.o.d in existence. That"s the G.o.d of Void there."
"That thing was never afraid of anything. It feeds on the world and was almost extinct when the Ancient G.o.ds decided to exterminate it. But it seems some of it had escaped and now started coming out as well. I guess we need to guard our world closely and prevent such things from entering our world." Mikaela stated.
Beast G.o.d Shou remarked, "We should inform the other worlds" Heavenly Laws as well. As for Whether they believe it or not depends on themselves."
Conri Lycaon suddenly felt immense fear towards that thing in Lord Skoll"s hand as he dragged that evil creature that appeared before his face. It was a fear that came straight from his soul. The two G.o.ds noticed his unusual reaction and put him to sleep.
Beast G.o.d Shou frowned, "It seems that seeing the direct body of that creature causes madness in mortals. It shouldn"t exist at all if this is the case."
"You are right. I will inform you about this to Lord G.o.d Ye when we return." Mikaela said his face doesn"t look good either.
