Vampire's Slice Of Life

1117  Someone’s Helping Lith

Inside the Qing Mei Sect. Lith was properly briefed about the Shen Ze star system and how it worked. Shen Ze was the boundary between gods and mortals. This realm literally lay in the middle and contained everyone — a mortal, immortal, and even a god. The god realm in this place was just the beginning of godhood. There lay a realm above it, a plane consisting of the highest level of gods, a level none could ever imagine in this place. The supreme ancestor Yi explained that there was no one above the Legendary Rank in the star system as they would forcefully be pulled to the higher realm. If they resisted, the heavens would strike them with tribulation until they relented or died. At this point, Lith asked about the heavens. What was it? To which Yi replied that heaven was everywhere in the form of a will. It kept order and chaos balanced. Provided a medium for fate and destiny to work, and was the reason for why everything was the way it was. Yan then shifted the topic to the Evure God Clan and the Asura God Clan. The two repeated what his grand uncle Aegis Evure had stated. A little additional information was that Evure God Clan had secrets that only a select few knew in the world. Yi, Yan, and Lan being the supreme ancestors of the third ranked powerhouse in the Shen Ze star system naturally had an idea of it. The first ancestors of the Evure God Clan, namely Rumion and Frederica, had killed a certain few people and obtained great powers. They had truly struck diamonds in a coal mine, and this changed everything. The Asura God Clan was the reigning power at that time, and were notorious for their ways of work. Rumion and Frederica silently cultivated and established a clan which was today known as the Evure God Clan. The powers they had obtained allowed them to rise steeply, and it was also inherited by their later generations. The predecessors were lucky, but the successors paved their own path by finding out how exactly their ancestors got lucky. They found the thing which gave their ancestors great powers.

It was Unique Abilities.  Unique abilities were only found in a select few people. Till this day, it was a mystery as to how individuals got it. One had to have heaven-defying luck to find such an individual and kill them to obtain it. When Yan said all of this, Lith significantly calmed down and looked at them with a dumbfounded gaze. Did these guys really not know the reason for unique abilities? In his world, some in the top brass had understood the answer long ago. They had even concealed the answer and ensured the general populace was unaware.

This was quite the surprise he got here. Yan brushed over the topic some more and jumped to talking about the political situation in the Shen Ze star system. ”…and thus, this world had not one, two, but four Legendary Ranks.” ”Hm?” Lith turned his head to look at her. ”There are four legendaries here?”

The quiet supreme ancestor beside Lith, Lan, nodded her head and replied, ”Yes, benefactor. Us three and Qingshan are four of them.”

”Qingshanʼs a Legendary Rank?!” Lith swiftly turned to face Xuan Lan and asked. She nodded her head and continued, ”That girl may not seem like one to benefactor due to her subservient attitude. Sheʼs prideful and fit to be a leader, but doesnʼt act like that in front of benefactor. Our sectʼs teachings are deeply ingrained in her like us. We do not forget our roots.”

Lith rubbed his temples and felt a headache coming. What wouldʼve happened to these guys if someone impersonated the soul mark and arrived here? Thousands of years of hard work would be in shambles, and these girls would forever regret following these teachings. Lith sighed visibly, making the three supreme ancestors look at him in concern. Yi positioned herself on Lithʼs other side, and together with Lan, unconsciously pressed her soft body on him. ”Is something the matter, benefactor?” ”Yes.” Lith did not bother hiding anything. ”Before you met me, was there some dream or vision you had where you communicated with a higher power? Someone with a bigger status than Legendary Rank.”

The threeʼs faces had visible surprise on it. ”Yes. How did the benefactor know?” Yan asked.

”It was a woman, wasnʼt it?”

”Yes.” Yan did not refute. ”Does the benefactor have a connection with her?”

Lith shook his head. ”Not yet. What did she say?”

From the side, Lan began changing Lithʼs blood soaked bandages and said, ”She said that sheʼs one who had written our martial books and asked us to ask her anything we wanted to. Naturally, we did, and she answered everything so perfectly that we three ended up having our bottlenecks cleared up.”

”And?” Lith knew this wouldnʼt end here. ”She asked us to assist the benefactor in whatever things he wished to do. To help the benefactor properly, we were tasked to take control over the world, and ally ourselves with the legendary rankers from around the star system. Apart from us four, thereʼs two more Legendary Ranks in this world, and so far, with Qingshanʼs administration, we have allied ourselves with twenty different powerhouses.” Yi explained. ”It was all done in utmost secrecy, so even the Evure God Clan and Asura God Clan members do not know about it.” Yan added. ʼWhat the… what dogshit luck do I have?ʼ Lith couldnʼt help but think and rub his temples. ʼThere was no need for me to do anything other than come to this world and survive. What Evure God Clan? What Asura God Clan? I have all the necessary people in control to launch an attack due to these three girls.ʼ

Someone was helping Lith, and it was evident. Someone was trying their best to get his attention, while also doing their best to keep some distance to not cause him any trouble. The situation was similar to how it was in cartoons. A person would put a trail of goodies like cheese for a mouse, and the mouse would blindly eat one cheese after another, until it finally got captured in a trap.

The person helping Lith had done such a thing by opening up an interesting gate into his world. This lady only had to make it somewhat mysterious and interesting to have Lith walk into it. Lith was looking to go into other worlds and gather allies for his war against the Evure God Clan, and this lady knew it very well.

Sighing once again and thinking of how easily he fell into this trap, Lith thought, ʼWhat now? Should I prepare for the war or reject help and look for my own allies? This went easier than I thought and I have no idea what to make of it.ʼ

ʼSigh… so troublesome…ʼ
