Chapter 1035: 16.81 First Red Star - Primitive World, City of Selena.
At the Beast World's Domain...
Mikaela, the Supernatural Modern World's Heavenly Laws had arrived to meet the Beast God of the Primitive Worlds. The Beast God's domain is simply a white world that overlooks his world below him. He, like Mikaela, is the Heavenly Laws of his world. There is only one small table where tea and tea snacks are served. An elderly man dressed in traditional garb sits at the table. This is Shou, the Beast God.
Beast God Shou noticed the arrival of Mikaela and said, "Welcome to my domain Elemental Light God, Mikaela. My name is Shou. Nice to meet you."
"The pleasure is all mine," Mikaela said.
Beast God Shou said, "Those children should be alright. My world is not that much dangerous except for the dinosaurs I guess. But most of my children had been taught how to defeat them so with them guiding your child it should be alright."
"You are aware of our arrival aren't you?" asked Mikaela yet his words seem to be a statement instead of a question.
Beast God Shou responded, "Lord God Ye, had informed me ahead of time. Well, he must have accidentally cut off some children's fate and asked me to reconnect it. Must be the orders of his wife, Lord Hei."
"You knew about them after all. Can you share some stories with me while they stay in your world?" Mikaela said.
Beast God Shou said, "I do not mind. I wanted to hear some news of what happened to them after they left my world. I knew they weren't only going to my world but to other worlds as well."
"This... I do agree. Shall we share a story one at a time?"
"Good Idea! Hoho~"

Beast God's Main City, Selena...
Selena City is this world's most modernized land. Tall buildings with hints of fantasy mixed with modern architecture resemble merchant companies. Most of these buildings' ceilings were made tall after all of the people in this world learned how to transform from human to beast form. There are towering animal forms such as giraffes, elephants, and so on. The interior ceilings were raised to accommodate these types of beasts, as some Beastman were more accustomed to being in their beast form than in their human form. This is a minority viewpoint.
The sight of animals and humans living together and walking hand in hand in a city astounded Asher Light and the others. In their world, these animals would most likely be returned to the zoo because animals in their world, with the exception of Werewolves with Fenrir's blood, cannot turn to humans well.
Mayonaka Yoru whispered, "Wow~ it feels like there is a wide animal escape in a zoo and the scene of humans and beasts together appeared before me."
"Don't be rude, Yoru!" Esther Dawn reprimands.
"I won't anymore." Mayonaka Yoru said.
Asher Light asked, "Where should we go first?"
"Let's go eat or find a cafe to sit in. You two still had to tell us more stories about what happened between the two of you." Amber Dawn said she looked at Conri Lycaon and Carnelian Dawn.
Carnelian Dawn is a cuddly boy with a straightforward personality who is respectful of his older siblings. Perhaps he is afraid of making them angry because he misses them so much. This good boy nods his head as if he agrees with his elder sister's words.
Mayonaka Yoru said, "You guys go first. I will check the area and gather information at the same time. In a place we have no information about is dangerous to move around. I will survey the city a bit. Pudding, stay with them. It won't take long."
"Sure. Be careful. Don't be hasty and get involved with things in this world. We aren't going to stay long here after all." Esther Dawn said.
Mayonaka Yoru kissed his lover's forehead and smiled gently at him. "I will take that in mind. I will find you guys here after I am finished. If not, let's just meet at the Great Elder's place."
"Brother, don't go out of the city. I know you saw those creatures during a free fall but there is no need to personally check on them alone." Conri Lycaon said.
Mayonaka Yoru rustled his younger brother's hair and said, "I won't leave the city. But I will try to find information about the outside if possible. Just to be prepared in case the trial location includes what is outside the city."
"Do you want me to come with you?" Asher Light asked.
Mayonaka Yoru said, "No need. In such an unknown place, me alone moving around is enough. At least I can escape in my beast form and would be able to blend in this world easier but you can't morph in any dangerous beast form. Just protect everyone with Yue."
"Okay, I understand. Be cautious. I will give you this just in case. These are Healing Potions. Use it without holding back." Asher Light said.
Mayonaka Yoru left after receiving the healing potion from Asher Light, blending in with the crowd and disappearing from their line of sight. The rest of them looked around and discovered a cafe made of a massive tree, with each branch serving as a floor. Each floor can be reached via the wooden stairs or by flying. What's more, the cafe only allowed small or medium-sized beasts to enter in their beast form, while the majority of customers were in their human forms.
When they walked into the cafe, they noticed some cats, rabbits, and a dog named Beastman napping on the soft grass carpet. As guests, there are also some rare animals such as lions, leopards, and black panthers. They book a table with fewer customers on a higher floor so they can see the city from such a vantage point. The view from above ground was breathtaking. Amber and Carnelian Dawn adore it.
Esther Dawn finds the atmosphere relaxing because of the lingering scent of wood and peppermint. It wasn't even crowded, and each floor only has six tables, with fewer customers as the floor rises. They chose a floor with only two tables; it was a little pricey, but since the money wasn't theirs to begin with, they spent it without hesitation. Keylan Light, the instructor, was left behind to cover their expenses.
Esther Dawn said, "The ambiance of the upper floor is good. The VIP room should be better right?"
"But in VIP rooms those who weren't there to get in aren't allowed to enter. Moreover, it was also reserved by someone and we're a bit late for it." Asher Light said.
Conri Lycaon said, "Since we are waiting for our brother this floor should be fine."
"Let's ask if we can keep it for us before we leave this world. After all, we cannot return here after we finish our business." Carnelian Dawn said.
After all, they are only mortals. Only Gods are capable of moving through worlds unhindered by Heavenly Laws and vessel problems. The body of a mortal is too frail. It is not capable of traversing space and time. After all, each world has its own set of laws and times. It can have an impact on anything that enters or exits it. That is why only Gods can leave one world for another.
Amber Dawn asked, "I wonder how Instructor Keylan Light had become a God. Can we become one too?"
"Maybe not... As long as our lives are under the world's plot, we can only live and die as mortals. But the Headmaster is a different story, he might be a God which Lord Skoll had been looking for." Esther Dawn said.
Conri Lycaon says, "I also had a feeling that Lord Skoll only came to this world because of the Headmaster. But I'm confused as to why they are separated in the first place..."
"Enough of things we cannot get involved in. Tell us something about what happened between the two of you. Did the former memories I have before have returned to you, Nel? Is this why you recall who you are?" Amber Dawn asked.
Esther Dawn said, "If that's the case, did it mean he was destined to die first before he remembered everything."
"What a fuck up plot!" Asher Light commented.
Esther Dawn asked, "Do you remember anything before you die? Instructor Skoll said you had died before Conri."
Carnelian Dawn thought of the past for a bit. But aside from suffering from a nightmare, all he can remember is being pulled into a world full of darkness and a huge eye appearing before him.
"I don't know. After our Practical Exam, I was too tired and went back to the dorm to sleep. During my sleep, I ended up suffering a nightmare and the last thing I can remember is that a monster that had the shape of a huge scarlet eye was staring at me. But at that time, I could no longer speak, I saw a handsome man. His vibes are similar to Lord Skoll. Maybe that was him?" Carnelian Dawn stories.
Asher Light spoke, "A black world? Is it darkness from all sides? No hints of light, just darkness?" He asked.
Carnelian Dawn nods his head, "It was dark on all sides but for some reason, I can still see that monster even without any hints of light which is weird."
"Do you have something in mind about that dark world, Asher?" The young werewolf king, Conri Lycaon asked.
Asher Light turned serious and looked at Carnelian Dawn and was checking if he was really alive. He is capable of speech but there is no heartbeat, as if his vessel is dead yet the soul is alive.
"Are you also born as a vampire, Carnelian?" asked Asher Light.
Carnelian Dawn said, "Yes, but after using my sister's vessel my abilities were sealed only when I took over Athan Vladimir's body that I was able to use my abilities again. Is there a connection with it to that black world?"
"That place you said you entered which had nothing but darkness might be the Abyss. It can also be called the void. Most souls that were dragged in there disappear forever but it seems thanks to your vampire blood that your soul didn't perish right away. After all, the vampire race is compatible with dark elements." Asher Light said.
Carnelian Dawn said, "Ah! That's right. That monster said my compatibility with dark elements is high. It must be because of that. I am truly thankful that Lord Skoll brought me away. That place is too scary. There is nothing there but you can feel stares coming from all directions. I believe just staying there alone is enough to make anyone crazy."
"What is Abyss, Ash?" asked Amber Dawn.
Asher Light said, "It's a world full of darkness. No one knows how to enter or leave that place. It's within the jurisdiction of space and time. According to the books, it's possible to enter Abyss with just your soul but even that is rare. Only a powerful and pure soul can enter there. If you can enter with a vessel you are either a Devil or an Evil God."
"Are you saying that Instructor Skoll is an Evil God?" Esther Dawn asked.
Conri Lycaon said, "The man beside Instructor Keylan Light said before that Lord Skoll is an outsider God and that he is the Sovereign Ruler of Darkness. An Evil God."
"But would an Evil God even help others, much less save them?" Amber Dawn asked.
Suddenly someone butts in, their conversation, and answers Amber Dawn's question.
"Gods are whimsical regardless of whether they are Evil or Good. Even more so for Evil Gods who don't like being bored~."
They were taken aback to discover that someone was listening in on their conversation. They didn't even notice anyone entering their floor because there were no sounds or anything. When they turned around, they recognized the greenhead and the white-haired man from before. Leafy and his white lion, Baishi, were the culprits.
Carnelian Dawn pointed at them and said, "It's you guys, again?!"
Conri Lycaon asked, "Why are you here?"
