After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 128.1
Ten minutes later.
The little cow cat was filled with righteous indignation, punching the golden chinchilla fat cat, “Bad Fifth Brother, how could you bring in two new cubs meow!”
The golden chinchilla cat was beaten until he kept crying out, with dozens of cat claw marks already left on his body. He thought to himself that Little Ayni had indeed learned quite a lot from Baal, these punches were no joke.
“Listen to me! Listen to me!” the golden chinchilla cat hurriedly explained.
The little cow cat glared with wide eyes, showing sharp teeth, threatening while hitting, “Then quickly say it meow!”
The golden chinchilla cat had no choice but to explain the whole story in detail.
After hearing the explanation, the little cow cat stopped attacking, but her eyes were still full of grievance, seemingly with reddened eye rims, “So, I’m not the youngest anymore meow.”
The golden chinchilla cat rubbed his slightly swollen eyes from being beaten and laughed consolingly, “Haha, you’ve long been not the smallest. In fact, you already have two brothers and two sisters now.”
The little cow cat was instantly stunned, eyes wide open after hearing this series of news.
“You mean, the new brothers are the God of Light and the God of Darkness, two little chubby ones?”
“And the new sisters are called Little Light Body and Little Black Cloud?”
The golden chinchilla cat then mischievously asked, “How’s that? Happy?”
But how could the little cow cat be happy. Her worldview seemed to collapse in an instant. She originally thought she was still the smallest cub in the family, but unexpectedly, after one sleep, her position had already been replaced by four new members, and worse, two more were about to be added! Meow, how could she possibly accept this!
Seeing the little cow cat’s reaction, the golden chinchilla cat assumed a “been through this before” pose and consoled, “You’ll get used to it. I went through this too back then.”
“Wuwu…” the little cow cat began to sob.
The golden chinchilla cat continued, “Back when your sister Valefor was born, I also went through a period of psychological struggle. Your fourth brother Samikina probably had similar feelings when I was born.”
The little cow cat bit her lower lip, staring determinedly at the golden chinchilla cat, “But you can’t just pick them up! Father isn’t specifically responsible for adopting gods meow!”
The golden chinchilla cat laughed heartily, his big bottom sitting down, his entire body sinking into the soft cushion, his flesh wobbling softly, “I’m doing this to help Father increase his strength. I heard you all say that Father has been worried about this recently, so naturally I’m anxious for him too.”
The little cow cat was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, “Is the surprise about the family meeting that Fifth Brother mentioned before referring to Father coming back?”
The golden chinchilla cat paused slightly, then nodded, frankly admitting, “Yes, I indeed knew about it long ago.”
“Hmph hmph, you definitely knew long ago!” the little cow cat said angrily.
“Haha.”
The golden chinchilla cat tried to laugh it off, because no matter how he answered, it wouldn’t be right. You can’t say you were afraid the younger sister would disturb Father at home, and it wasn’t that urgent anyway.
However, the little cow cat wasn’t so easily fooled. He saw through the golden chinchilla cat’s intentions at a glance and complained, “Fifth Brother, you’re too much meow!”
The golden chinchilla cat had no choice but to helplessly pull out a shiny golden cat toy tied with a butterfly bow, trying to divert the little cow cat’s attention.
The little cow cat’s eyes immediately lit up at the glittering toy, and her claws quickly stretched out to grab it.
This scene was witnessed by several cats outside the door.
The gray cat remained silent, finding it hard to comment, but as long as the result was beneficial to Father, nothing else mattered.
At this moment, the information updated by the Third Brother had been seen by everyone in the shared mental domain.
The gray cat pondered, gently stroking his chin, his voice carrying a hint of seriousness. “The Creator God sending Death and Silence to deal with the Second Brother is undoubtedly a declaration of war against us. After being silent for so long, He finally took action. Is this due to pride, or has the timing only now become mature?”
According to Aelioge, the Creator God moved at this time because the Evil of the Universe’s self-destruction exposed Its existence, forcing the Creator God to surface.
“We must be on high alert,” the gray cat’s gaze became solemn, “The Creator God’s target is obviously Father. Previously, the Evil of the Universe dared to approach us, so naturally the Creator God would too. We don’t know how many cards He holds in Hand, so we must proceed carefully.”
Just then, the little cow cat and golden chinchilla cat walked over from the opposite side.
Cats began to gather in the courtyard.
The golden chinchilla cat’s leaping strength attracted the attention of all the cats at home.
Even the gray cat was stunned, and although not saying it out loud, his eyes were full of envy.
“What’s wrong, little Inpos,” the golden chinchilla cat smiled.
The gray cat paused, feeling awkward from the golden chinchilla cat’s affectionate address.
The golden chinchilla cat didn’t mind, extending his paw to the gray cat’s shoulder and laughing with a sideways glance, “Want me to take you to the Infinite Trial?”
The Infinite Trial was the exclusive domain of Big Brother, and theoretically, without Big Brother’s permission, none of his younger brothers and sisters could enter. But the golden chinchilla cat always had a way, and his presence here was the best proof.
The gray cat was indeed tempted. The small short-legged cat also nervously gripped his little apron.
The cow cat didn’t react much, still staring at the golden chinchilla cat with a gloomy gaze, as if pondering something. The Devon Rex cat seemed a bit slow, tilting his head as if trying to understand the golden chinchilla cat’s words.
Demons were competitive. Although They were not essentially demons, growing in such an environment inevitably influenced their concept. They knew that without sufficient strength, they couldn’t protect their father or protect their brothers and sisters.
The gray cat looked at the golden chinchilla cat, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes, and finally nodded.
The small short-legged cat also mustered courage, stepping forward. Although usually appearing timid, his eyes were now filled with determination.
“Inpos, Celerios…” the golden chinchilla cat was inwardly surprised but still reminded them, “The challenges of the Infinite Trial are very harsh. The enemies stored there by Big Brother are all very powerful. Are you sure you want to go?”
Both cats nodded simultaneously, their eyes flickering with firm light.
Seeing this, the golden chinchilla cat felt a surge of relief, waving his paw in the void. A light flickered, opening a passage to the Infinite Trial.
“You can go here—”
Before the golden chinchilla cat could finish speaking, both cats had eagerly stepped into the passage.
The small short-legged cat, just before disappearing into the passage, looked back at the Devon Rex cat with a determined tone, “Brother Lelagin, please take good care of Father meow.”
The Devon Rex cat’s gaze gradually became serious from its previous bewilderment. He nodded, responding, “Okay, I will meow.”
As the light dissipated, the two cats’ figures vanished into the Infinite Trial passage.
The cow cat looked left and right, revealing a conflicted expression.
The golden chinchilla cat smiled at Him, “Little Ayni, you don’t need to join in. Not all demons must become stronger. We’re all here and will protect you.”
However, the cow cat had her own pride. Being told this by the golden chinchilla cat, She was instead provoked into fighting spirit.
“I can become strong too, bad Fifth Brother, you look down on me meow!” The cow cat gritted her teeth and retorted.
The golden chinchilla cat dared not argue, raising his paw in surrender, “Little Ayni, you can certainly become strong.”
But the cow cat was clearly not satisfied with this perfunctory response, letting out a cold snort.
“I am the strongest meow, even stronger than Big Brother!” The cow cat raised her chin with an uncompromising spirit and stepped into the passage.
The golden chinchilla cat almost laughed but forcibly restrained himself on the surface, inwardly both surprised and emotional, encouraging, “Of course, Little Ayni is the strongest. Even if other demons don’t believe it, I believe it the most.”
After all, for thousands of years, Big Brother had hoped that Little Ayni would work hard to level up, but Little Ayni had always refused. Yet today, She actively walked into the Infinite Trial.
The golden chinchilla cat silently sighed: Little Ayni had grown up.
Little Ayni probably realized it too. They were facing an unprecedented crisis.
Any demon who was not strong enough might drag down other demons.
They could tolerate many other things, but they absolutely could not drag down other demons.
“It was probably because of the battle with the Abyss God back then.”
The golden chinchilla cat fell into memories.
In those days, many of their younger brothers and sisters had been captured by the Abyss God. As the Big Brother and Second Brother, they had to deal with their mess, which had caused a lot of trouble for the older brothers. That experience was truly unbearable to look back on.
The weak would get beaten. Whether in the outside world or within the family. Haha. But…
The golden chinchilla cat looked back and found only the Devon Rex cat left at home.
Lelagin, having lost his memory, appeared somewhat dazed and unable to participate in leveling up. The golden chinchilla cat walked forward and gently stroked the Devon Rex cat’s head.
If the uncles and aunts outside saw this intimate action, they might be stunned by the cuteness on the spot.
“Are you okay?” The golden chinchilla cat asked the Devon Rex cat.
The Devon Rex cat slowly raised its head, its eyes sparkling with warm light, “I’m fine, meow.”
“Hmm, that’s good.”
The golden chinchilla cat felt somewhat relieved, “I’ll stay here for a while.”
The Devon Rex cat obediently nodded, responding with a soft voice. “Okay, meow.”
The golden chinchilla cat chuckled, his big paw cupping the Devon Rex cat’s small face from both sides, and began to knead vigorously. The Elven Ancestor God, the Creator God’s most beloved work, was now being kneaded in His hands. Haha, what a great texture!
The Devon Rex cat did not understand this was the fifth brother’s “bullying” and simply enjoyed this intimacy, allowing the golden chinchilla cat to knead.
After a while, the golden chinchilla cat finally let go of the Devon Rex cat and turned to check on his father’s condition. Subsequently, He found a comfortable place and lazily lay down.
Because He was free, He also glanced at the news on the humans’ side.
Hero Wang Chang’er and Elf King Filod had established an unprecedented mutual assistance agreement. Although this was not the first time in the history of human and elven interactions, Wang Chang’er’s extraordinary aspect was that he skillfully made the elven race take a supporting position, ensuring that this agreement was entirely human-led and maximized human interests.
In a sense, this was creating history, wasn’t it?
Additionally, the Elf King cooperated with Wang Chang’er to investigate the elven race and cleared out several elven families suspected of misconduct overnight. What was the reason? Because Ye Qingyi had been close to the elven race back then, especially during the period before her disappearance. In their investigation, it turned out that human nobles and some elven races had jointly created a subspace false legend about “returning to their original world”, and the target was to lure the long-missing Ye Qingyi to investigate.
Ye Qingyi was extremely cautious and rarely acted personally when information was insufficient, but any rumors about “going home”, she would personally investigate. She herself had no obsession with “going home”, but did it for her friends.
However, she went and never returned, thousands of years passing.
This news was absolutely shocking and had caused enormous tremors in both races!
Many elves turned a deaf ear to the truth. They only knew their great race was forced to conduct self-purification because of human “trivial matters”. How could They not be angry? How could They not feel humiliated?
What a good show. At first glance, one wouldn’t know how it would end.
Sure enough, internal turmoil began within the elven race. Many elves strongly opposed human interference in their internal affairs and even demanded that Elf King Filod step down.
In Their view, all of this was the result of Filod’s flattery towards humans. They believed that even if elves committed grave mistakes, it was not for those lowly humans to judge. At the very least, they would only be convinced if the Elven Ancestor God returned, or even if the Creator God descended.
The golden chinchilla cat, seeing this, had already imagined that the elven side would probably be running with blood, the situation out of control.
However, the development of events was beyond His expectations. Although rebellion occurred, it did not last long. Wang Chang’er personally appeared in the elven tribe and suppressed all opposition with powerful force.
This event once again shocked the human and elven worlds. Wang Chang’er’s terrifying strength became the focus of continental attention. The second focus was how to handle the aftermath?
Although military suppression temporarily quelled the turmoil, the deeply rooted self-esteem and concepts of the elven race would not be easily changed. They would not accept being dominated by humans. Their high racial pride meant They would absolutely never bow to those races They considered lowly.
Watching the show up to this point, Marbas slightly raised an eyebrow.
In His view, countless races lived on this continent, strong and weak coexisting. Some races had once been glorious but ultimately fell into obscurity. Racial identity itself, to Him, had little practical significance, at most being a difference in talent or upper and lower limits.
The weaker the race, the more likely they were to be trapped by sensitive identity constraints. Of course, there were also races that could transcend identity constraints and love their own identity, because identity could bring them certain benefits or emotional value, even a sense of existence.
Loving one’s identity was beautiful, but unmotivated self-esteem was superfluous. However, Marbas had not expected Wang Chang’er to be so tough, actually executing a “respected” old elf in public – an old elf who was one of the masterminds behind the fabricated legend.
Wang Chang’er was known for valuing friendship and never being soft-hearted when killing enemies. But this action… was indeed decisive and swift.
Marbas could not help but worry. Of course, He did not need to care about Uncle Wang’s affairs, which would be superfluous. However, what would the Creator God think about this series of sensational events on the continent? Would He intervene in this racial conflict?
