Chapter 1067: 16.113 First Red Star - Back to Vearth: What have I done?
All mortal beings and original residents of the former Supernatural World were banished from their own realm. They found themselves in a throne room where An Liang and Hei Jue awaited them with weary faces. They had been expelled from the Void"s Central Zone and reappeared in the Throne Room. Keylan Light, who woke up after receiving medical attention, still remembered how Fenrir Skoll had kicked him even as he lay dying.
Keylan Light, who was dying, was patched up by Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang in their human form. His Divinity suffered greatly as a result of his heart being eaten as a G.o.d. Now that he has been healed, he is no longer a G.o.d, but instead a special human who cannot age based on appearance alone, but his lifespan has been greatly reduced. Before leaving, Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang explained everything to An Liang and Hei Jue.

In the Nether System"s throne room...
It only took a blink for Asher Light and the others to be whisked away from the Dark Realm and into a luxurious palace throne room. They checked on everyone and discovered that those who were still alive before Kenan Light awoke, including the Dawn Family, had all appeared in the same location. Luciel Dawn looked around and thought things were surreal.
They were just in a place of darkness, only to blink once and appear in a throne room like this one.
Groggily opening her adjusting eyes, "Where is this place?" Thana Daybreak asked while her husband supported her from behind.
"A throne room?" mumbled Luciel Dawn as he looked around and noticed a man that possessed rare silver irises and this reminded him of Ca.s.sius Ambrosia.
Adding the repulsive words Ye Xiajie had just said. He finally realized why his att.i.tude had deteriorated so drastically after Kenan Light nearly killed Keylan Light and the world rumbled as if in fear. He had an idea of what happened after adding up the words of the men who used Randall Ruid and Luther D"Arcy"s faces.
Luciel Dawn mumbled, "Did something happen to Lord Ca.s.sius? Is that why Lord Fenrir lost it? That can be the only reason for him to be in such rage."
"Darling, did you say something?" asked Thana Daybreak worriedly.
Luciel Dawn didn"t want to worry his wife, so he didn"t say anything. He looked around for their children and noticed that a few of them were missing. Only Asher Light and Amber Dawn were told to stay in the room because they weren"t fighters.
Thana Daybreak asked, "Amy, Asher, Thank G.o.d you are both here. Where are the others?"
"T-They sneak through that door and they want to find a way to escape." Asher Light said.
Amber Dawn added, "After all... After all, it seems that Instructor Skoll was no longer on our side."
"If he truly didn"t then we would be already dead. Or else why would an extremely powerful person like him spare us alive like this." Luciel Dawn said.
Asher Light says, "But he said... he said to eliminate us. Doesn"t that mean he wanted us dead!?"
"He just spoke that in anger. Something must have happened to Lord Ca.s.sius. Though I don"t know what happened to him for him to go crazy in rage like that." Luciel Dawn said.
They didn"t notice the arrival of An Liang and Hei Jue, who took over the job of looking after them while they were talking. However, Asher Light and the others were on high alert as they approached. The words Ye Xiajie yelled in rage are still echoing in their ears. Such apathy, as if they didn"t spend any time together at all. They were taken to a place they had never seen before, and they didn"t know who to trust or who to believe in.
G.o.d An Liang and G.o.d Hei Jue were aware of their vigilance but did not react strongly. The former still looked like an ancient scholar in a dark violet robe with a business smile and a monocle on his right eye, while the latter appeared unapproachable handsome man in dark-green robes.
An Liang said, "Since everyone is awake shall we begin the registration? Can you pa.s.s around the papers to everyone and answer all the questions on it? We already knew the situation and even called your world"s Heavenly Laws. His name is Mikaela, right? He should be on his way here."
The mortals in front of them were terrified as they all looked at Keylan Light, who despite losing his heart had the most authority among them. Hei Jue and An Liang both turn their heads to look at him. They noticed the fading divinity from his body and clearly noticed that he used to be a G.o.d like themselves, albeit much weaker.
"It"s you. The Lesser G.o.d who failed to protect his own world. Be thankful. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d didn"t kill you on the spot." Hei Jue said.
They were already aware of what had occurred in the previous world and how they had failed to protect it. As for why that Evil G.o.d became enraged but chose not to destroy the world. It is because the world chose Ca.s.sius Ambrosia to be its protector, and the life of that world is now inextricably linked to the life of Ca.s.sius Ambrosia, who has not yet attained ascension. After all, he is a mortal who also happens to be one of Hei Anjing"s soul fragments.
Asher Light and the others were defensively looking at Hei Jue, who was now staring at them. But they didn"t expect the G.o.d of their world to lower his head towards them.
Keylan Light bowed his head as he said, "It was all my fault. I was careless and..."
"No need for excuses. What"s done has been done. The result of your failure is that my brother"s soul had been directly forced to merge with that world as its protector. Now he can"t leave that place unless he becomes a G.o.d himself. But he is currently an incomplete soul. Can he even become a G.o.d in that state?" Hei Jue said.
Everyone was taken aback. They weren"t expecting to learn that the Lord Ca.s.sius Ambrosia they admired and feared was a mortal like them. Despite his great power, he is a mortal born in that world in flesh without divinity, just like them.
Stunned, Asher Light denied it with all his might. "Impossible! How can the headmaster be a mortal!? He is so strong? Even stronger than Lord Light!"
"Brat, even with G.o.ds, there is what you call hierarchy in strength. Once a Sovereign split his soul each of his soul fragments would possess a strength beyond any world"s means. They might be reincarnated in that world as the strongest or one of the powerful but they would still be born with the flesh of a mortal." Hei Jue explained.
Keylan Light asked, "Is that why Lord Ye chose to come over in our world? To pick up Lord Ca.s.sius and also the reason Lord Ye remains in our world? Can Lord Ye just leave together with Lord Ca.s.sius with him? He can do such a thing right!?"
An Liang added, "It"s because he couldn"t do that, that they could only stay. You might not know but only G.o.ds can travel between worlds and in your world Ca.s.sius Ambrosia is born as a mortal vampire. He might be powerful but his vessel is extremely fragile to be brought out. That"s why A"Ye couldn"t bring him away. If it"s only his soul then it is possible but for a Vampire Progenitor like him, his lifespan is too long. That itself is not a problem. They can stay until the vessel of Ca.s.sius Ambrosia dies then leave your world. Who would have thought your world would start a war and it"s even one that involves the influence of someone from the other world."
"Did you think the Devil exists in your world? What exists in your world is only humans, vampires, and werewolves. Nothing more and nothing less." Hei Jue said.
An Liang added, "But since that villain didn"t get involved personally, A"Ye and the rest also couldn"t get involved directly as well. They would get kicked out of the world if they did. Even so, they still gave their best support and gave you guys their blessing right? A blessing from a Sovereign G.o.d like A"Ye is something even HighG.o.ds in their Upper World could only dream of. He gave it away like that to mortals how wasteful is that even though it"s only temporary."
"It must be him spoiling his wife, that"s why he gave away his blessing. Hmp!" Hei Jue said. "Didn"t they still fail in the end? Mortals are beings who would become careless with a sudden increase of strength."
Keylan Light felt more guilty as he heard Hei Jue"s words while looking at him from the corner of his eyes. He couldn"t lift his head because he felt it was all his fault. He was too careless, focusing solely on his spell and failing to notice Kenan Light"s approach. He believed that his own strength was sufficient to deter him. He never expected Kenan Light to be able to move between shadows like the Vampire Race.
Hei Jue snorted and said, "List their names down. I will grab the brats that left the room just know it would be bad if the other wardens saw them and take them as prisoners."
"Y-You notice them... leaving?" Asher Light spoke out unexpectedly in shock.
Hei Jue said, "It"s not like they can leave the Netherworld without help from a G.o.d. Moreover, you guys still have the scent of mortals. At least no one would harm you in this place. Well, that is unless a prisoner escaped and they ended up unlucky to meet them." He left after speaking with his husband and ignored the rest, much like Hei Anjing doesn"t care about strangers.
A few breaths after Hei Jue left the area became awkward but lighter. An Liang, on the other hand, did not exude obvious disdain. Even though his smile is also phony, they don"t sense hatred from him. He is friendlier than Hei Jue. At least that is how An Liang looks in the eyes of these mortals.
Keylan Light asked, "So is it true that something happened to Lord Ca.s.sius?"
"Yes. Because of that, you guys will need to be transferred to another world to live in." An Liang answered nonchalantly.
Asher Light asked, "Eh? Why? Why do we have to live in another world? Our world still exists after all!"
"Stars or what you called worlds have their own souls. Their rules are called Heavenly Laws. Life and Intelligence. That"s the connection between the world and the Heavenly Laws. In your world, the Heavenly Laws are the Elemental Light G.o.d Mikaela. Since he left temporarily... You become his proxy and so his role is to protect the world from everything it can destroy it. In which you failed to do so. So the world prevents its death by looking for the strongest creation born in its world."
"It chose Lord Ca.s.sius Ambrosia." Luciel Dawn said.
An Liang narrowed his eyes at Luciel Dawn and said, "I guess not all of you are stupid. Yes, it chose him. The chosen protector of the world cannot leave that world and the protector was forcefully merged with that world. Because of that, he can no longer leave that world unless the death of that world had been reached. Ca.s.sius Ambrosia was forced to stay in that world until the end of that world"s lifespan."
Keylan Light was so surprised that he couldn"t keep a straight face. He realized that his carelessness had forced Ca.s.sius Ambrosia to become the protector of their world. It was all because he didn"t do his job well. He was so taken aback that he was devastated. He knew Lord Fenrir only helped them because Lord Ca.s.sius cared about them, but what did he do? He made their savior restrained by the world they failed to protect.
"What... have I done?" Keylan Light whispered in guilt and despair.
