1116 Shocked Lith
Lith looked at the cloaked figures with interest. He had his guard up, but it seemed that it wasn't needed since none of the people gave off any threatening aura. "Our humble greetings, benefactor."
The three cloaked figures bowed and said in their sweet voices. Lith looked at them with amusement and wondered what sort of people they were from their voices. The three took off their hoods, and the moment they did, Wang Wei began kowtowing on the floor while Lith's eyes flickered in surprise. Three mature women, with not a single sign of wrinkle or blemish on their face or body, flaunted their lush, silky smooth hair and sharp eyebrows. Their figure couldn't be made out due to the cloaks, but anyone could tell at a glance that they were absolute seductresses underneath!
"You are…?" Lith had an idea who they were, but still asked to get the conversation going. The three ladies bowed and clasped their hands. "We are known as the supreme ancestors of the Qing Mei Sect, benefactor."
So they were indeed the supreme ancestors. Wang Wei looked good, Qingshan looked even better, but these three, they were on a level where their beauties couldn't even be compared to anything. Add to that, the mature looks on their faces… These ladies were simply asking to be turned into mothers to reach their pinnacle MILF status. "Have a seat." Lith told them. The three ladies gave him a curt nod, took off their clothes, and sat down on bamboo stools by the bedside. As they had their clothes removed, they could be seen in similar clothings like Qingshan, except that it clung more tightly to their body, and was sexier. Their figure was a perfect S when looked from the side, and from the front as they sat down, their clothing was somewhat loose, and their plump melons seemed like they would spill out anytime. Having been around heaven-defying beauties all his life, Lith could say that these ladies were indeed the quality. There was nothing more that could amplify their beauty, and only few could earn such praise. Obviously, none of the ladies compared to Lith's wives or maids, but he wasn't comparing them in the first place. Comparison was a thief of joy. Never to compare beauties as everyone was good looking in their own ways. "Tell me, what's with you guys calling me benefactor and possessing the soul mark?" Lith got to the point and didn't beat around the bush. "Before starting, can these lowly ones know the benefactor's name?" The three ladies bowed. Lith's lips twitched, but he cleared his throat and said, "Lith. That's the only thing you should know."
Stating his full name could invite unnecessary trouble. Lith wanted to test the waters first before saying things out loud. "What are your names?" Lith asked. "This one's Jiang Yi." The lady at the left with a comparatively smaller bust and tied up red hair said. "This one's Wu Yan." The lady in the middle with the biggest bust and lush green hair said. "This one's Xuan Lan." The lady at the right with a quiet and graceful demeanor and icy blue hair said. 'Red, green, blue… R-G-B…' Lith thought to himself. This was quite the combo here. "Yi, tell me, what's with you guys calling me benefactor? And what's the soul mark?"
Yi clasped her hands and said in a soothing, slow tone, "The Qing Mei Sect's foundations were laid upon an ancient book that taught about Yin cultivation and various other aspects. One of the most important and glaring points in it were that if we take up this path, we will have to be subservient to one man who would eventually change our destiny. The days would forever be prosperous and there won't be a single dull day we would witness."
Yan then clasped her hands and continued, "It was said that we would know about this man if we felt a tremble in our souls. We did not mind it much and embarked on this path, now the Qing Mei Sect is the strongest in the world. We are feared by invaders and are one of the strongest forces in the Shen Ze star system."
Lith immediately caught onto the important keywords and asked, "Shen Ze? Star system?"
Yan's eyebrows and eyes were arched, possessing the gaze of a gentle mother who got confused about something. "Does the benefactor not know these?"
"No." Lith said it right away. "What is a star system and Shen Ze?"
"The start system is a cluster of worlds where there's nobody above the Legendary Rank realm or what's commonly known as, a base god." Yan explained slowly. "The Qing Mei Sect is one of the feared ones in this star system, ranking in the top three, right beneath the Evure God Clan and the Asura God Clan."
"Huh!?!" Lith exclaimed in shock. "What!?"
Something within Lith got triggered as he stood up in shock, not minding his wounded body that had some wounds open up due to the sudden jerk.
"Benefactor!" The three ladies stood up and tried to get a hold of the worked up Lith, their faces brimming with concern. Lith felt a sharp pain all over his body and a headache as he stood up. Xuan Lan got on top of the bed and helped Lith sit back down. She sat beside him and began applying a healing spell. "Benefactor, please calm down. Making such sudden movements are not good for your health."
"Evure God Clan… Asura God Clan… what did you just say about them?" Lith asked her again, not caring for his injuries. "We'll tell you everything, benefactor. But please calm down."
"Okay… I am calm… now explain…"
Lan, who had been quiet all this time, said, "The two clans…"
…..
Royal Castle, Nightingale.
[Ding!
[The apocalypse is approaching!]
[The apocalypse is approaching!]
[Time until doomsday: 3Y:11M:29D]
"Huh!?"
Lucas, who was walking down the stairs, almost stumbled and hit his head on a sharp ornament in the outer ring of the castle. "Get a hold of yourself, newbie." A Royal Servant in a sophisticated butler outfit said. "If you are loose, you'll be punished by the superiors."
"I'm sorry…" Lucas got up and said while fixing his tie and clothes. "Get going. There's a lot of work to do." The butler said. Lucas gave him a respectful nod and walked on the hallways of the outer ring. 'What? The legendary rank mission is approaching this quickly? Isn't it unfair on me who did not get enough time to cultivate? Isn't the punishment of getting myself erased completely too unfair?'

[Ding!]
[Mission triggered!]
[Mission (Doomsday) has been modified to mission (Informant)!]
[Mission: (Informant)
Difficulty: N/A
Description: Approach the gods of the Evure God Clan and inform them about the upcoming apocalypse. Convince them to avoid the war.]
+
The rewards of the mission were the same as before, getting to be the Star Master, and leveling up to Legendary Rank and as such. However… the mission difficulty…
Lucas was sweating profusely just by looking at the description. If he wasn't wrong, he would be skinned alive if he tried to inform those guys. Let alone informing them, simply trying to leave the castle would get him killed.
The butlers here were no joke. They were absolute killing machines, even though they looked like some of the softest and most subservient people on the surface. It was especially true for his superior, the red-haired demon called Ruben. He did not look like a demon because of no horns or tails on his body. He looked like a normal human, and his bearings were gentle and elegant, just like the angel Noman, but he was the scariest in the squad. Lucas had no idea what he could do to escape this place, and began sweating. His hands were trembling as he walked to the area of work. Meanwhile, in the inner ring of the castle, the beautiful silver-haired Queen was sitting on a couch with the regent Queen beside her.
Lucy had her head placed on her mother's shoulder and was conversing with Alea, who was in a similar position on the opposite couch with Jasmine beside her. Lilith was doing something on her phone, and at this moment, felt a change and turned her head to look in a certain direction. 'Evergreen Rosette… Qing Mei Sect…'
Lilith then squinted her eyes, and within her amethyst irises, a tint of blue began spreading like a drop of ink in water. In two seconds, Lilith's eyebrows eased up and she looked normally in the distance. Her eyes now were a mix of purple and bright blue. It was as if the entire cosmos was placed within her eyes. '…hm… so it's her doing. Not bad…'
Lilith got the answers she was looking for and turned her head back to look at her phone. She blinked once and her eyes returned to normal. 'Fufufu… the right time has come. I should inform them…'
Lilith tilted her head to the side and placed it upon Lucy's. She typed a few things on her phone, and after hitting send…
…..
Evure God Clan. Roy was walking out of the administration building, moving towards the North Gate to go back home.
Suddenly, Roy stopped in his tracks and frowned. He felt a tremor in his body and looked up.
The moment he did, his eyes widened and he said out loud:
"Good… heavens…"
