"Who might you be, dear guests?"
To the Devil's question, the silverhead faintly smiled and pointed at another silverhead behind him.
"Look at him, then look at me. Who do you think I might be?"
The Devil of Gluttony did not need to turn to see Lith's figure. Everything in this world was under his watch—it was his home after all.
While the Devil tried to guess the guests' identities, the stars in the sky twinkled intensely and a series of messages popped up.
[The Vermilion Clan stares at the newcomer with red horns.]
[The Black Tortoise Clan stares at the newcomer with red horns.]
[The White Tiger Clan stares at the newcomer with red horns.]
[The Azure Dragon Clan stares at the newcomer with red horns.]
[The Ouroboros Clan stares at the newcomer with red horns.]
[The Cerberus Clan stares at the newcomer with red horns.]
[The Blazing Devil stares at the newcomer with red horns.]

[The Undead Devil stares at the newcomer with red horns.]
[The Lich King stares at the newcomer with red horns.]
[The Samsara Devil stares at the newcomer with red horns.]
[The Dream Devil burns providence to check the identity of the newcomer with red horns.]
Right as the last message appeared, Lilith stopped in her tracks and craned her neck to look up in the sky.
Her serious purple eyes shined with slight murderous intent, and for the first time in a while, her gentle expression disappeared.
A star in the sky radiated with intense luminosity and eventually, it dimmed, disappearing completely from the starry sky.
[The Dream Devil suffers a backlash for divining the identity of the newcomer with red horns.]
[The Dream Devil's providence is burning exponentially.]
[The Dream Devil's existence is fading.]
[The Dream Devil falls into an eternal sleep as a last resort.]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt[The Dream Devil's providence has stopped burning.]
The intensely twinkling stars in the sky suddenly dimmed themselves, completely shocked by the sudden turn of events.
Looking at the starry sky and the now dimmed stars, Lilith, with utmost seriousness, said softly,
"There won't be a second time."
Lilith turned her head back to look at her son and smiled, as if nothing had happened a second ago. She walked close to him and hugged him from behind.
"My baby~~"
Lilith swayed side to side as she glued her face with Lith's. Oh how much she had missed him!
Lith was genuinely dumbfounded by his mother's appearance. He wasn't a fool to have not seen the threat she just gave to those deities above.
The stars in the sky had still not dared to twinkle. They were emitting a faint lustre and were in the same place as before, as if afraid to even breathe.
The newcomer with red horns, Lucifer, was genuinely amazed by her sworn sister's abilities.
She saw a series of messages in front of her eyes as if there was a game interface, and then suddenly things turned silent.
She could make out that Lilith had made a threat to someone high up in the sky, and it was for this reason they turned silent.
Lucifer's appearance garnered a lot of attention from the many beast clans and the devils, she naturally knew the reason for it.
Keeping this topic aside for now, Lucifer walked past the Devil of Gluttony and arrived at Lith's side.
Staring at him from head to toe and ignoring Lilith who was hugging him, Lucifer squinted her eyes and said, "You… After two centuries, you're still not a King Rank?"
Lith was dumbfounded by his aunt's words. Did she know what she was talking about? Was ascending to a higher realm a joke or something to her?
Keeping his annoyance suppressed, Lith firstly patted his mother's arm around him. "Mom, we can be intimate later. Can you leave me now?"
"No!" Lilith exclaimed. She had not seen her baby for two hundred and eleven years, forty seven days, sixteen hours, twenty-two minutes, and fifty-four seconds!
How could she let him go like this now? He was in serious need of hugs and cuddles and kisses and love!
Lilith knew her baby the best, she naturally knew what he needed the most!
Being watched by so many deities and getting hugged by his mother so lovingly, Lith, for the first time, felt himself blush.
His shamelessness could rival even Grand Lust Sovereign's, but this time, he wanted to do nothing but dig a hole and bury himself in it!
Suppressing the rosy blush appearing on his face, Lith ignored his mother and turned to his aunt.
"Aunt, do you think ascension is a joke? There's no one in the world who has ascended to King Rank within three hundred years." Lith protested.
Lucifer looked at Lith with a befuddled gaze. "You are three hundred years old? I thought you were five hundred already…"
Lith's eyes twitched. "You don't even know my age?"
Lucifer scratched her chin and whistled, evoking her right to remain silent.
Her gaze then fell on Ralph, who was right next to Lith. "Oh, Avelyn's son!"
She closed the distance between Ralph and herself to chat, and went past Lith.
Lith shook his head. His aunt was a gone case.
The Devil of Gluttony stared at the sudden shift in events with an amused gaze. He wasn't angry or annoyed, simply interested to see how this whole situation would unfold from here on.
After hugging Lith for a solid five minutes, Lilith broke the hug. She wanted to kiss his lips, but refrained from doing so as she didn't want to expose her intimate affairs to so many people.
Lilith decisively kissed Lith's cheek and turned her head to look at the Devil of Gluttony.
Her gentle expression was replaced with a neutral look as she stared at him.
"The offers are still up, yes?"
The Devil of Gluttony gently nodded his head. "That's right, ma'am. Do you wish to see them?"
A Devil's greatest power lay in their art of talking. This species was notoriously shameless, having no bounds whatsoever.
Pride meant nothing to them and they would flip their personalities as per their situation.
The Devil of Gluttony had seen the Dream Devil's encounter with Lilith. He had a rough estimate of the former's power, but being forced to go into eternal sleep, this spoke volumes about the lady in front's strength.
The Devil of Gluttony dared not offend Lilith and retained the same humble act as before.
Lilith nodded and the Devil gave her a small blue orb, similar to a marble.
Lilith held it and checked the contents.
After a while, she turned her head up to look at a specific star. Squinting her eyes, Lilith said, "You are one of the fools who sent an attack in the astral realm?"
[The Martial Master jumps on his seat.]
[The Martial Master burns providence and states it wasn't an attack, but a small test to gauge the new genius's strength.]
[The Martial Master argues that it was sent with goodwill.]
Lilith narrowed her eyes and continued to stare at the star.
The star twinkled faintly, like a guilty child fiddling his hands.
A few seconds later, Lilith said, "Very well. I'll send him to you. Be his master, teach him everything. However, why do you want the other child?"
[The Martial Master burns providence and states the other child is interesting.]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLilith shook her head. "You are not suitable for that child."
The twinkling star dimmed, as if dejected.
Lilith ignored it and turned to look at another star hidden within the boundless space. "Frost Devil, come out."
A star suddenly twinkled faintly.
[The Frost Devil is looking.]
With a calm gaze, Lilith said, "You hurt the child, you'll look after her. Come back with her after a hundred years."
[The Frost Devil's lips are curling up.]
[The Frost Devil is wondering whether it has been found out.]
"No." Lilith replied. "It's still a well-kept secret."
[The Frost Devil cackles.]
[The Frost Devil sends an offer.]
A streak of light flew down into the orb Lilith was holding.
She walked over to Miwa holding it and rubbed her head. "Child, accept the contract. You won't regret it."
Miwa stared at Lilith with a stupefied gaze.
Lith, Ralph, and Dennis turned to look at her and wondered what was happening.
The deities and the Devil of Gluttony stared as well and were wondering something similar.
Miwa did not know what her fate was. She also did not know how she suddenly landed in such a situation. However, looking at the gentle gaze of Lith's mother, Miwa felt everything would be alright.
Lilith's serene eyes calmed even the tumultuous of waves in Miwa's heart.
For some reason, she felt a great clarity within her mind. She did not need to think much and nodded her head lightly.
"I'll do as aunty says," Miwa replied.
Lilith faintly smiled and rubbed Miwa's head again. "Since you believe in aunty… Aunty would naturally not disappoint and look after you."
With that, Lilith gave the orb to Miwa. She held it and with a thought of accepting the contract by the Frost Devil, a streak of light shot into her glabella.
Miwa shuddered and eventually, a line of words appeared in front of her eyes.
[You have accepted the Frost Devil as your Master.]
A star in the sky twinkled brightly and a ray of light shot out from it.
It enveloped Miwa completely and in an instant, she disappeared from the Two Path Blind Mountain World.
The twinkling star in the sky disappeared as well after a second, leaving many confused.
