The second prince had already assud that his father would be the one to deny him his opportunity to achieve his goals. Regardless of the repercussions, he is forced to pay for his breach of contract. The man atop the throne does not even give him a sidelong glance, giving the impression that he has forgotten about him, even though he is sitting there, bewildered.
Wang Xingmo, on the other hand, was forced to give his son a lifeless stare.
Throughout his existence, the king had been ruthless. After his brother stabilized the country and drove him from his house, he drove his brother aside and assud the throne. He beca a dictator who only paid attention to his own desires and killed his own father as well as all the traitors who had betrayed him.
Wang Xingmo asked, "Excuse . Before I tell you my wish, there are so things I wanted to ask first. Is that alright?"
{Well, I have ti. Go ahead,} Tun Shizhe said.
"Are you leaving the Tower of God?"
{Of course. You would choose to remain in such a stuffy prison.}
"What would happen to the Tower of God when you are gone?" Wang Xingmo asked.
{It would break down. This place is created to imprison . With my vessel back to , I can leave this world at any ti.}
"What will happen to those who were left behind?"
{Nothing. They can do as they wish. Are you worried for your son? Don't worry. I've completely lost interest in anything after I get what I want. The problem you mortals are worrying about will not happen.
Your Royal Family can now be considered free as the ga is already done.}
"That's great to hear." Wang Xingmo said.
Tun Shizhe asked, {So what is your wish? For your information, I can't directly stop the Calamity you have to face. You will most likely die with that one by your side. I don't know about the rest, though. I've already prophesied that only a few of you mortals will be left. The Heavenly Guardian and their clan.
The Royal Family that you lead, as for the others, they are all destined to die. There are few interesting individuals among you mortals but unfortunately, he already caught the eye of the little one.}
The King of the Xing Kingdom thought for a while. When he made a decision, he looked at the man on the throne.
"Help us survive the two remaining calamities. You don't have to directly get involved in stopping it. You just have to keep the Royal Family alive. Not only the direct bloodline of the Royal family but also their loved ones, relatives, and partners. This is my wish," Wang Xingmo said.
A smirk appeared on Tun Shizhe's lips and looked at Wang Xingmo with a dangerous gaze. {You've beco smart. Your wish is more detailed this ti and don't even forget to include the couples within your royal family. You wanted to keep that one beside your little brother alive, huh?}
"This is my wish. Can you fulfill it?" The king, Wang Xingmo, asked.
Tun Shizhe responded, {It's a simple thing. There are only a few of you, after all. But you have to create an identity for . There might be few who recognize and it will be bad for you.}
"You can pretend to be Naless' people. Most of his subordinates cover their faces," Wang Xingmo said.
Tun Shizhe said, {I won't listen to your commands after all. I'm only there to keep you alive.} Then he looks at the little demon standing beside the human king. {How about you? What is your wish?}
Naless answered with no hesitation. "I want to beco a demon god."
It surprised Wang Xingmo and Wang Xingju that soone would aspire to be a god. Can this wish really co true? It is not like they understood that there are tiers even for gods. The gods have a harsher hierarchy than mortals, with the weak being ranked above the powerful.
Though he did not refute this wish in the slightest, Tun Shizhe grinned as though he had heard sothing really humorous.
{If it's a mortal who asked his kind of wish, I would have answered 'Impossible'. But you are different. You are already at the peak of your strength and understood a bit of the laws of darkness. You are already a demigod and just need one step to beco a god. Very well, since your affinity is strongest with our elent, I will help you reach that threshold.
It would be extrely painful, though, as your tribulation will be harsher as you are a demon. The Heavens hate demons a lot.}
With a flip of Tun Shizhe's hand, a black aura surged from his shadows and entered Naless' body. This is an aura of darkness with a low ability of gluttony.
{Your trial to beco a god has been given. You must kill a thousand creatures by yourself and devour their life force. It will help you achieve godhood as a demon. It is just that you will have to survive the tribulation. By the way, what is your relationship with this mortal?} Tun Shizhe pointed at Wang Xingmo as he asked this question.
Naless was about to answer, but Wang Xingmo spoke up. "He is my other half. In short, I am his wife. By per se of my wish, you are entitled to protect my husband's life. This includes his life during his tribulation."
{Your husband? I don't seem to see it that way. Lying is not good, little one~}
Abruptly, right in front of his eyes, the human monarch took off the small demon's collar, and they shared a kiss. Wang Xingju was astounded when Naless was initiated, and so did Tun Shizhe, who observed the incident with a cunning sneer. Though Naless was taken aback, he ultimately allowed himself to be seduced by the unexpected warmth and desired more.
Holding Wang Xingmo's head in order to keep him from pulling away if he had so thoughts, he intensified their kiss. It was a really long and intense kiss. Naless only released Wang Xingmo just before he was about to pass out.
Wang Xingmo's lips swelled as he turned to face Tun Shizhe, pausing for a mont to steady his breathing. He seems overly liked, and there is a distinct whiff of PDA for onlookers. Tun Shizhe appears happy right now and laughs.
{Morals are truly interesting. Very well with this proof alone, I will keep his life at least, but I will not get involved with his tribulation. You guys should get going. The seal on that dinsion had long been broken. I will follow you guys later after cleaning up things here.} Tun Shizhe said.
The three were sent out of the tower with a wave of his hand. Wang Xingmo, Wang Xingju, and Naless looked in dismay as the imposing black tower trembled and transford into a massive pile of dust that dispersed like a fierce windstorm.
Wang Xingju asked, "What should we do next, father?"
He felt more unfettered than ever after his father had helped him break free from the evil god's contract. He suspected that after this disaster, this kingdom would probably cease to exist, as his father had always detested the royal family.
The king, Wang Xingmo, watched as the Tower of God vanished from view. It was as though the chains that bound him to his past had finally co off. Even though his transgressions might not go away, their family will not be in jeopardy going forward.
Wang Xingmo responded to his son, "You find your uncles and stay with them. We're going back to the frontline. This ti live as you want. Not for soone else and not for revenge. In the first place, that man you called your dad wasn't the one who gave birth to you. It's a nanny, I found for you.
Your Father is this one." He pointed at Naless, and pointed at himself, "I am your dad."
[A/n: In this world, there is no woman but a part of the males is capable of giving birth. In pairs, the one called the father is at the top, and the one called the dad is at the bottom as well as the one who can give birth.]
Speechless, the speaker realized this truth. He never would have guessed that the father he had known as a child was only his nanny and not his real father. The man he had always called his father was in fact his biological father; the other man he saw frequently next to his father was his real father. Furthermore, it appears that his father is a demon rather than a human.
Second Prince Xingju had a look of disbelief on his face and asked, "Are you kidding ?"
"If you don't believe , go and find your uncles. In my generation of princes, no one else is a top male. Even your uncle Xingyun is a bottom male," Wang Xingmo said.
Wang Xingju asked, "Where is Uncle?"
The King said, "Go find him in the palace. He should be brought there by Heavenly Guardian Xian Wu." He gives himself a head pat and turns to travel in the direction of the Ruins of Ti. Like he always did, Naless cast a protective spell over his son, but this ti it was not done covertly.
Naless said, "Don't co on the frontlines. You will make your dad uneasy. Stay with your uncles and don't separate from them." With a whistle, a demon hiding sowhere wearing knight armor appeared before Naless and kneeled. "Protect our son and send him to Wang Xingyun and Fu Zin."
"Yes, my lord!"
The Second Prince's parents had vanished long before he had ti to process what he had heard. After all, the King was the busiest of all the Guardians of Heaven. In a group this size, he must be more than just the head of state. In order to keep the shady characters concealed inside the group in check, he must also maintain harmony among the races.
The devil was taken to the palace with Wang Xingju, but he was dressed like a knight. All of Naless's minions already knew exactly who the Second Prince really was. All this ti, they had been keeping him safe behind closed doors, but the Lord nearly killed them all when they lost him in the Tower of Gods. Despite being half-human, he unquestionably shares half of their master's blood.
Therefore, it is their responsibility to keep him safe.
As if seeing the confusion in their young master's eyes, the demon knight spoke, "If the Little Master doesn't believe just the words, there is a way to check your bloodline as a demon. The Lord is the King of Shadows. If it were you, they would definitely listen to your commands. Why don't the little master try it tonight?"
Although he listened in silence, Second Prince Xingju nevertheless retained the knight's comnts even though he did not think they were true. Upon reaching the palace, he searched the area for his uncles but was unable to locate them. He inquired with Doctors Guang and Hei, whom he happened to run into in the palace.
Doctor Guang said, "You are looking for his highness. He is currently talking with Doctor Sen about sothing. They might talk for a long ti as they are planning about the escape route just in case this palace is besieged."
"Lord Fu is also with them. For now, why don't your Highness take a rest first? Your face is pale. You seem too frightened. Let prescribe so weak sleeping pills for you," Doctor Hei said.
Second Prince Xingju was dazed but still said so to these two kind doctors. "Thank you. I will accept the prescription."
Then he disappeared down the hall, lined with hospital beds and doctors. He ca to see that this disaster was far more dangerous than he had initially believed. He felt humiliated just thinking about how his parents had to be fighting on the front lines, risking their lives for the cause. When he went back, he realized how stupid he had been before and how much of a headache he had given his dad.
After a long while, he finally made it to his chamber, but surprisingly, this place was generally kept tidy.
When he asked a servant about it, the answer he received was. "Your Majesty has always kept this place clean. Every servant was confused, but even if there was no one residing in this chamber, Lord Naless would station people to protect this area as well, as if they were waiting for soone to return and keep this place a safe place."
"I see. I want to take a rest. Please leave for now." Second Prince Xingju uttered those words as he ordered the attendants to pack and collapsed into his bed, exhausted. He thought that this was the safest place for him to be for the first ti in his life, and he fell asleep right away without even taking the dicine that Doctor Hei had prescribed.
