Chapter 289: Acquaintances

Right at the moment the giant golden light hand appeared, Sane naturally felt it.

However at this moment, even if the Creator God appeared He could not interrupt the "human creation" activity of the two people, let alone the one appearing was merely an old acquaintance.

Therefore, Sane used his Divine sense to create a golden cage enclosing his Temple, the sound inside did not leak out, and peeking gazes from outside also could not penetrate in. The person on that high cloud layer clicked his tongue softly full of regret, then returned to his child-coaxing work.

The sky gradually brightened clearly, the battle inside the golden cage also concluded. Kaelen lazily lay face down on Sane, letting Sane help massage his waist. Although he was already a Deity now he still possessed a mortal body, enduring high-intensity activity throughout such a long afternoon and night, was truly somewhat unbearable.

Using Divine Energy to soothe the throat to reduce the dryness, Kaelen rested his chin on Sane’s chest, asking:

"I heard a child crying last night, didn’t I?"

Sane rubbed Kaelen’s head: "Yes, there was indeed a child. And an old acquaintance of ours, but you do not need to pay attention to them. Contact our children first, telling them to prepare to send people over here."

[This way I and Kaelen will have more private time with each other.] Sane did not say this out loud.

Kaelen mumbled an "mhm". A pale green light enveloped him and Sane, the fatigue from overexertion vanished in an instant. He stood up, dressed neatly then closed his eyes, opening his sea of consciousness. Sane also closed his eyes, letting his Divine soul enter Kaelen’s sea of consciousness.

The Beastman Continent, Edward was hugging Ryder sleeping, suddenly sensing a spiritual energy fluctuation from the sea of consciousness, hurriedly entering inside.

"Daddy! Papa! Why did it take you two so long to contact me?"

"Edward? Why did you suddenly become so tall and large?" Kaelen looked at his son’s image in the projection, panicking and screaming. Sane also frowned, worry appearing in the depths of his eyes.

Edward was clearly an adult beastman currently. His tall and large body was approximately one meter ninety, his silver-white hair reached past his buttocks, his entire body musculature was proportionate. His face also shed the androgynous beauty from when his body was newly reconstructed, now becoming distinctly angular. Looking cold when keeping a straight face, but when he smiled, his dimples appearing faintly made his face gentle. If placed in modern times, he would definitely be a highly sought-after male celebrity.

But this was not the appearance a ten-year-old child should have!

What exactly happened? Did he mistakenly eat growth-promoting food?

"Huh?" Edward scratched his head: "I am already twenty years old, is being tall and large not a normal thing?"

Twenty years old?

Sane and Kaelen gasped simultaneously. They had clearly only arrived in the Great World for half a year, why had ten years passed on the Beastman Continent? Was the time flow between the two realms really separated that vastly?

Edward looked at his two fathers’ complexions, gradually realizing something was wrong. He hesitantly asked:

"Daddy, Papa, is the time on your side different from this side?"

Sane crossed his arms, his eyebrows knitting together: "Calculating from the moment we departed from the Continent to this side, only half a year has passed."

It was clear that the time flow had a problem. Either their time traversing the space passage lasted ten years, or it was due to a flow difference. Edward frowned, secretly feeling puzzled.

Kaelen shook his head: "Never mind, we will slowly investigate that problem later. Our communication time is not much, let’s talk about the main business first. I will set up an anchor point on this side shortly, connecting straight to the space array inside the Crimson Shrine, you send about two thousand elites of various professions over here."

Edward shook his head: "No need to set up the array Papa. You two only need to place your Divine Energy anchor points at the designated location, I will transport people over directly." He grinned:

"Uncle Wofu has awakened the memory of the Lord of Time and Space already, he can grasp all the laws related to Time and Space. We relied on that principle to manufacture an airship possessing a core system filled with Uncle Wofu’s Divine Energy. Although it has not reached the level of traversing the universe, I can pat my chest guaranteeing, if the destination coordinates are still within the same star system, the airship can reach the destination extremely smoothly."

"Airship? You mean a spaceship?"

Kaelen and Sane gaped their mouths open, feeling completely unbelievable.

Even though ten years had passed but with the Beastman Continent’s development speed, they completely could not manufacture a spaceship capable of withstanding the pressure of spatial torsion force. Even Wofu himself, although he had received the White Tiger clan’s inheritance, with ten years of time, he still could not travel between worlds easily like the two Deities Kaelen and Sane.

Edward knew what his two fathers wanted, he also did not act mysterious, speaking bluntly:

"Papa, Daddy, did you two not often talk about the super-technological development of the interstellar era, and even wanted to witness its magnificence one day? We did it. We manufactured a material capable of withstanding spatial torsion force to make the hull. Gravity adjustment systems and anti-pressure systems are inlaid throughout the ship’s body. The control system is also a super microchip system, capable of being controlled manually or using AI."

Kaelen frowned: "Managing to develop to that extent in just ten years, how did you all do it? Even possessing superior intelligence it is impossible to create such a massive technological leap!"

The two men stared intently at Edward, seemingly wanting to pierce through the projection rushing straight over to hang him on the wall for interrogation. Edward felt guilty, his eyes darting continuously. Sane’s face turned cold:

"Speak!"

Edward jumped in shock, scratching his head hesitantly saying: "Ac... actually... our memories were not sealed..."

The two fathers widened their eyes. Their projection flickered flashing slightly once, seemingly agitated quite heavily. Edward smiled forcedly saying:

"We did not want you two to worry that year, therefore we pretended to have our memories sealed. We actually extracted our memories early on, storing them in Ryder’s space. Waiting for you two to leave, we retrieved them. In the second year you two left, all of us awakened..."

"Insolent!" Kaelen was so angry his face contorted. Sane’s complexion was also pitch-black, purple lightning streaks appearing around his Divine soul. Edward cowered in fear, but after that, other projections gradually appeared beside him. One projection among them spoke up before the image became clear:

"Papa, Daddy. Do not blame eldest brother. This was my idea."

Kaelen and Sane focused their eyes looking for a moment, looking at this projection glowing with a red color like blazing fire, the two immediately recognized: "Ignis?"

"Yes, it is me fathers." The projection gradually became clearer, the image of the beautiful red-haired red-eyed Sub-Beast immediately appearing before the two men’s eyes. The chubby plumpness from before had vanished, replaced by an oval face with exquisite features, somewhat resembling Kaelen, somewhat resembling Sane.

The projections also gradually became clearer afterward. Kaelen swept his eyes looking across each projection, his eye sockets gradually becoming a bit hot.

Compared to Edward being neutralized of sharpness by Kaelen’s genes, Finnick seemed to be Sane’s clone. Different from his mischievousness when he was little, twenty-year-old Finnick looked mature and calm, exuding cold masculinity from every angle.

Oliver became more beautiful as he grew up, possessing a lethally seductive beauty. Every smile, every glance of his could hook people’s souls away.

Orion looked exactly like Ignis, but different from Ignis’s gentle and friendly beauty, Orion’s entire body exuded a cold and distant aura. He truly fit his God of Light setting.

As for Sunlight...

"You brat why did you grow up into this shape?!" Sane was furious, pointing at Sunlight scolding.

If the first five were angels descending to the mortal realm then this youngest son was exactly a reincarnated jar! He was so fat his two eyes narrowed into a straight line, his face sagging like a Pug dog’s face, his head connecting to his torso, his neck nowhere to be seen. His whole body was short and stumpy, his belly bulging out like a basket, his arms and legs jiggly full of fat.

The two fathers were shocked midway by this image, having to look at the other children to cleanse their eyes.

Sunlight being despised by his two fathers, pouted: "This is my illusion spell. I often have to use this image to go outside, I was too hurried earlier forgetting to change it."

The two fathers breathed a sigh of relief hearing that. Kaelen wondered: "Why do you have to use an illusion spell?"

Sunlight sighed frustratingly, spinning around once, his true appearance emerging.

His slender figure, was only slightly taller than Oliver. His entire body exuding an agile beauty mixed with a bit of gracefulness, his appearance compared to Oliver being on par. But the problem here was: Oliver was a female while Sunlight was a beastman. Being a beastman, and a highly renowned Demon God at that, yet growing up so gracefully...

Kaelen and Sane: "..."

Edward smiled beamingly saying: "He followed the merchant caravan outside when he was twelve years old, being asked for marriage by Beastmen countless times along the way. After being snatched away to be a "wife" once, he turned himself into a fatty..."

Sunlight puffed his cheeks, unhappily saying: "It is definitely because of the name you two gave me! A dignified Demon God yet growing up into this appearance, how am I supposed to rule the Demon Realm in the future!"

Sane bared his fangs: "That is not the name’s problem, it is your personal problem. Do not blame us." He crossed his arms, his expression colder than ever: "Do not even hope to use this issue to deflect the topic. Ignis, explain the matter of faking sealed memories to me!"

Ignis took a deep breath, his two hands clenched tightly, saying:

"Daddy, it is because I thought, why must the world order be rearranged by Deities? Every citizen in the world must be responsible for the things they caused, and to do this, they must be even stronger.

And the only thing capable of touching the Deities’ threshold, is super technology. I am the God of Wisdom, the knowledge I hold can completely help them achieve this goal in a short time. Therefore, I secretly hid my memories."

Kaelen looked at Ignis, saying: "Do you know how massive the subsequent consequences are when the world develops too fast? What happens after establishing the world order? It will also be repeatedly shattered by the very thing they created."

Sane added: "Whether humans or non-humans, once achieving success too easily, they will generate arrogance and complacency. Do you know, when human greed reaches its peak, they will title themselves as Gods, giving themselves the right to replace the Gods?"

"I know." Ignis answered: "But Daddy, is that not an inevitable thing? Regardless of achieving success early or late, their arrogance will still reveal itself eventually. A thing like greed is not generated later on, but has existed since they were born. Preventing it beforehand or afterward is not as good as just acting decisively."

Orion also said coldly: "You two have been mortals for too long, having become soft. The nature of Gods is exactly cruelty. Gods are the most tolerant but also the most cruel. Everyone says, we were born from heaven and earth, being the cleanest existences. But who says we do not possess greed? The things we covet, are even more than the greed of all living beings in this world combined."

Sunlight also said softly: "If there is no greed, then why did the Creator God create a Demon God, also known as the God of Darkness like me, after creating Orion? This world was already unfair, even to the Deities. Can you two guarantee, the one who created us is truly clean?"

"Sunlight, watch your words." Edward scolded Sunlight softly. Knowing he spoke insolently to the Creator, Sunlight immediately lowered his head.

Kaelen and Sane said nothing, because the children were right. A sigh suddenly lingered in the air, then a golden phantom appeared in the mid-air of the sea of consciousness.

The fathers and sons were startled raising their heads to look, it turned out to be an acquaintance.
