Vampire's Slice Of Life

A week passed.

Lith's core was safe with little to no harm coming from the internal tribulation. Whatever damage there was, it was from the external one.

Corpses of dead creatures lay in his core and the mist that was up in the sky, apparently that was an evolving-type of poison.

An evolving-type was something whose grade would get higher due to various types of reasons.

In this poison mist's case, the more it absorbed spiritual power, killing intent, and energies of the people below it, the higher would its grade become.

If the people that had arrived wouldn't be able to kill Lith, then this mist sure was going to.

Lith wouldn't even realize what it was and how it worked even after his death.

By calling his mother, he had done the best possible job and saved himself from being permanently killed.

This internal tribulation was by far the most unfair one ever to be given to someone, and Lith wasn't able to understand why was that the case.

If his mother wasn't with him and he was a commoner… Well, firstly this tribulation would never occur as he wouldn't have such a boundless potential or a solid foundation, so thinking about it was meaningless in itself.

On the off chance that he did suffer through it, then it was just a matter of how many seconds he would be able to hold until he turned into ash.

The more unfair this tribulation was, the greater the benefits it brought with itself.

The poison mist integrated itself with Lith's core and was able to suck in elemental energies of the elemental cores in a much better manner than before.

Due to this mist being absorbed in the entirety of Lith's core, the absorption and growth power of his core was out of this world!

There really was nobody to compare with anymore as Lith was in a league of his own!

The mist was absorbing and integrating elemental energies like a hungry beast and his elemental cores had to work extra hard to suck in energies from their surroundings.

This was making Lith dizzy as his body was under too much pressure.

Via hours and hours of meditation, Lith finally got used to the pressure and his dizziness faded away. The pressure wasn't gone by any means, it was merely Lith's body adapting to it.

After the first week, Lith felt much better and then focused on fixing the insides of his core.

The corpses of the creatures decayed and he fastened this process with the help of Time and Death energy.

The corpses were getting integrated with Lith's core as well like the mist and whatever remained of them, it was all useful material for other things.

Some creatures left out bones as residue, some left hair, some nails, and some never got decomposed due to Death energy not being applicable on them.

Lith carefully picked them all up and manually integrated them with his core.

The bones were turned into fine powder and turned into bone meal for the plants growing in Lith's core.

These plants were ordinary, but he was expecting them to turn into medicinal herbs or at least some spirit trees or something with this.

Thinking of spirit trees was stretching it too far, but medicinal herbs were a big possibility.

The hair was planted beneath some plants to make them have stronger roots and turn into giant trees. His core didn't have a tree yet as life was really primitive.

There were mountains and whatnot, but no forests and only some plants and grasses. Everything was too primitive even after the ascension.

Lith had no idea how and where to use the nails and bodies as there was far too little material to work with. He placed them in a corner and once finished, focused on other work.

There was land everywhere and this wouldn't do. A land needed to be divided properly to accommodate different types of species and there had to be water to properly have a water cycle of rain, snow, and so on.

Lith focused on breaking the big landmass and since there were lots of cracks and whatnot, he needed to have Water elemental energy to fill the gap, otherwise his main core would literally crack.

No elemental energy could be too dominant. Life wouldn't be able to survive if that happened, let alone even come into existence.

A proper equilibrium between all had to be maintained, just like how it was in the real world.

Life was a delicate thing and had to be handled carefully.

Lith needed more Water elemental energy and his core could not provide that.

It was not a problem as Lith was literally in the meditation hall where there was no end to any elemental energy.

Lith willed and from one of the twelve pillars around the hall, blue elemental energy rushed out and entered Lith's Water elemental core.

From the Water elemental core, it went inside the main core and Lith used this energy to fill up all the cracks and gaps when breaking up the big landmass.

It took a month and after great hard work, Lith was able to cover up his entire core with water and now his core looked blue from the outside with brown spots from one place to another.

Lith designed the landmass in a similar fashion to Earth, albeit with slight changes. He did that because this way, seasons could be properly maintained and species could be more diverse.

Lith's current world, his actual home, was too complex and couldn't be replicated at this stage. Despite being symmetrical and well arranged, Lith had little to no idea as to how seasons, day, night, and so on were divided.

Some continents had only nights like the Vampire and Demon Continent while some only had days like the Angel Continent.

Their geographical location and everything didn't make sense no matter how one looked at it because…

If the world was symmetrical, everything was symmetrical, then if one continent had only nights, then shouldn't the one exactly opposite to it have the same as well?

The exact opposite of the Vampire Continent was the Werewolf Continent in the South Pole.

The exact opposite of the Demon Continent was the Angel Continent, yet there was such a big contrast.

The more one tried to make sense, the less it would actually make sense. It was an endless puzzle and Lith was better off sticking to simple and good ol' Earth.

The land was in place, the water was in place, now all that was left was to place the rest of the elemental energies in their respective areas and finish with this consolidation.

In the coming few weeks, Lith worked on creating a water cycle for his core.

He used Lightning elemental energy to create lightning during thunderstorms. Wind energy to add the 'storm' part into the thunderstorm, and then Water energy to have rains.

He added a twist to the thunderstorms by also incorporating Time energy into it.

How would Time work in a thunderstorm?

Hehe, this was to not cause a physical change, but a psychological one.

When it rained, it would be for a normal amount of time, but the things going through it, be it plants or humans or rocks, they'd feel like it had been an eternity since it had started.

If rain lasted for one minute, they'd think it had been going on for ten minutes instead and so on.

Why was Lith doing it? He had no idea. It just seemed fun.

This amount of twist wasn't enough. The Half King Rank Vampire Prince's delicate palate needed some more spice.

Without thinking much, he incorporated Death energy as well as Life, Space, Fire, Earth, and all the other ones into this thunderstorm.

This was too much for a normal rainy day, but oh well, Lith had the power to change it again if need be. For now, he just let things flow.

Just like that, he added various twists and illogical things into various scenarios and it took him roughly six months to finish up with everything.

Once Lith was done, he stretched himself and got up. This was really tiring and he needed a nap now to rest.

When Lith walked out of the meditation hall, he was greeted by his maids. They were holding trays full of food and refreshments.

Lith grabbed a juicy peach and, biting onto it, spanked his maid Keith's peaches for no reason whatsoever.

Keith glared at him hatefully and Lith gave some bullshit reason and said this was punishment.

He then asked about his mother, sister, and wives.

The maids briefed Lith on where they were.

Lucy had been fired up and was focusing on her cultivation more than the administration. This change occurred after she realized her little brother was just a realm below hers.

This wasn't done and she needed to be stronger than him. If she wasn't, how could she bully and pamper him like a good onee-chan?

Lucy left the throne and went inside some gate to fight off against otherworldly beings. Lith wasn't worried about her safety as she was capable enough to manage herself.

Plus, she had artifacts on her given by their mother which could instantly bring her back home if things went wrong.

As for his mother, she was busy… working?

Well, that's some news.

As far as Lith knew, his mother was a jobless gentle lady who thought of nothing else but her two children. Her world literally revolved around these two and Lith had expected her to come hug him and suffocate him between her big milkers.

Welp, one can't have all the good things now, can they?

Lith was happy to know his mother got something to do, completely unaware that she was working for Lith and Lucy only. Her world still revolved around these two and it was never going to change.

After some more talking with the maids, Lith eventually went to his room and slept. He was tired and went into deep sleep in no time.
