As the group led by the old marshal, Long Huang and the Killer Pavilion’s Master, Xie Yun finally entered the inner region of the barren lands, the original occupants of the land were immediately informed of their arrival. Each scout sent by the beast king had learned about the humans that had entered their lands.

The beast kings at each oasis in the barren lands located at the north, south, east and west areas within the inner region. The beast kings are capable of communicating through their divine consciousness.

The world is fair.

The humans were allowed to venture all lands to get what they wanted but by risking their lives. As they were the weakest among the races born in the world.

The beasts born with strength above all races cannot start war without the human race trespassing their territories.

While the beastmen rarely get and it’s reclusive by nature, they don’t start war without a good reason.

"Humans had entered the inner region!" said the Kingkong Beast King.

The Black Turtle with snake tail Beast King had spoken, "They are fearless as always!"

The Flood Dragon Beast King said, "They seem to come here to gather beast eggs from the gall!"

"....." The Black Jaguar King was sleeping and didn’t care much for this meeting.

The Black Turtle with snake tail Beast King says,"I heard those half-beasts under the protection of the Beast God were enraged when the humans stole their eggs and they started massacring."

"The beastmen race used to be closer to humans and they made them angry? How foolish that race is hard to fight against. Not only they possessed the same strength as us, the beasts." said the Kingkong Beast King.

"They also had the same intelligence as those humans. Moreover the fact that the beast god is on their side made things a bit unfair."

"....." The Black Jaguar King is still sleeping.

"Anyway, the humans are too much this time. We must kill those who entered our land. But the beast god had decreed that we can only let out a full attack once they had entered our territories." said the Kingkong Beast King.

The Black Turtle with snake tail Beast King added, "Only then will the seal that prevents us beast king from leaving our territory with the reason for war will be gone."

"The human race didn’t know which was fair to us as they could enter the Barren Land at will. There are also those beings in the core region. We must take over that place now that the beast god is not there." The Flood Dragon Beast King said.

"...ZZzz.." The Black Jaguar King is in deep sleep.

The Flood Dragon Beast King said, "Can someone wake up this bastard! How can he sleep at the meeting!?"

"It’s morning. Unless you wake him up, a demonic beast like him will remain sleeping at this time of the day," said the Black Turtle with snake tail Beast King.

After the conversation between the beast kings had ended, they didn’t know about the looming danger over them coming from the core region.

Core Region of the Barren Land.

After giving the blessing of the Ancient God of Chaos, Hunluan, to the other family members of the Hei Anjing in this world. The elf king was sent back to the human city while the others remained and System Yue came over to pick up the cubs that they didn’t notice that were left behind.

When the God of Destruction and the Sovereign God of Void and Darkness got teleported by System Yue, Mo Minkong and Hezi immediately carried them away.

"Where were you left behind?" Hezi asked worriedly.

System Yue answered before the cubs did. "They were left behind in the Killer Pavilion. No one dares to touch them there as they noticed their connection to that elf before."

"Though I do not think you will be injured, nothing happened there?" Mo Minkong asked.

The God of Destruction happily said, "Something happened! A bad man wasn’t talking, we played with him~"

"A bad man not talking? Are you saying you help with torturing a captive?" Hezi asked as he recalled from his brother-in-law, Vega, how the Killer Pavilion was attacked by intruders.

Heri frowned and said, "How can the people of Xiao Xie let children watch such a thing?!"

They didn’t know how helpless the assassins in the Killer Pavilion were when these two cubs made more and how terrified they were when they watched them do as they wished.

The Sovereign god of Void and Darkness commented, "It’s nothing much."

Seeing how calm the children are, Mo Minkong and Hezi had calmed down. They let the two of them down to play. They even took their sister with them before running out of the mansion with Ancient Lord An Shizhe.

The Ancient Lord of Chaos, Hunluan said, "Don’t worry about them. A’Zhe can take care of them. With him there nothing in this world can harm them. Why don’t the three of you take this time to rest for a moment?"

Mo Minkong, a Beast God who just recently got to retire from a millennium long guardianship. Hezi, the leader of the beastmen race, who carried the responsibility of his race and Heri, the only prophet burdened with the future of the world. Three individuals with special positions. Ever since they were born they were never meant to live an ordinary life. Just how tiring is that.

The three of them look at one another, before they could react Hunluan had pulled them over to an illusion where they can do as they wish and not be burdened by anything as if dreaming.

Meanwhile outside the mansion, they had been waiting for Hunluan to give them a signal that they could go and play with the beast kings.

Upon seeing her brothers smiling Haerin’s eyes were full of excitement and asked, "Can we play with cute animals now?"

"Let’s go. While the adults are busy, let’s go out and play~" said the God of Destruction as he held the little girl’s hand. As for his other hand, Ye Xiajie had longed to hold it.

In the end, the World Eater An Shizhe can only play the role of the chaperone, following the cubs who run out to capture some toys (beast kings).

The target of the God of Destruction was pretty obvious. He wants to find the human who reincarnated as a beast king after his vessel was taken over by his contracted beast by mistake. The intention of his little beast was to keep his vessel alive and mistakenly caused him to leave his body. Now he couldn’t even remember who he is and what he is supposed to be doing.

At the Barren land’s inner region.

One adult and three cubs stood at the oasis in the west area. Unlike the other regions this place is no different from a rain forest covered in towering trees and shady areas where shadows converge. Within the darkness area of this place, a huge black jaguar was sleeping peacefully with its eyes closed.

He was dreaming of a human with an unknown face flirting with a black being that looks like a demonic being. This creature isn’t unlike other beings with fur. It didn’t even have a hair and looked more like a monster. This beast is a demonic being but it didn’t feel evil. Instead he felt affection he couldn’t understand and a strong feeling of wanting to protect it. On the other hand, the human gave him an extremely familiar feeling.

He heard the human talking to the demonic beast, "Xiao Yun. This will be your name. You can read right? Remember your name well. You share my surname so you and I are family. Never forget about that!"

In his sleep he couldn’t help but murmured endlessly the name of Xie Yun as if imprinting this name so he could never forget.

"Xie Yun. Xie Yun. Xie Yun." The Black Jaguar Beast King mumbles in his sleep.

He didn’t even notice the presence of those who had sneaked into his territory and even placed something on him while he was sleeping. He was dreaming so beautifully that he didn’t even notice being brushed by a human girl and even placed a pink ribbon around his neck like a collar.

When the Black Jaguar Beast King opened his eyes to see a human girl holding his head while brushing him happily. He instinctively opened his mouth to eat the human girl but suddenly felt a pressure falling on him making terrified and unable to move freely.

The thoughts of the black jaguar beast king at this moment, ’Who owns this aura? It’s even more dangerous than the one the beast god at the core region possessed! Am I going to die?’

He heard a voice in his head saying, {Let the cubs play with you and this Ancient God shall spare your life. Close your mouth if you agree.}

The Black Jaguar Beast King instantly closed his mouth and stared at the human girl who wasn’t even frightened by the scene of him trying to eat her alive.

"Mr. Big, Black Cat, your teeth are clean and beautiful. Are you hungry?"

The little girl didn’t wait for him to speak and continue to talk on her own.

Haerin said, "My brothers went to fish. We can eat after they get some food. Should we go to them instead?"

Upon hearing that the siblings of this human girl had gone to the sea which is the territory of the Flood Dragon Beast King, the Black Jaguar Beast King was interested in how those humans fight against that arrogant snake.

The Black Jaguar nodded its head and gestured to the human girl to climb on his back. He didn’t hate humans as much as the other beast kings but he didn’t like them either. Now that this human girl held the lease on his little life, he had to serve him well.

Haerin asked, "Mr. Big, Black Cat, you want me to climb on your back? Are you going to look for my brothers? If so, we need to tell Grandpa An."

"You can go. I will follow after you," the world eater, An Shizhe.

He was leaning on one of the tree branches napping while watching over this baby girl as his son and disciple asked him to. He knew those brats wanted a world on their own as a couple and so he let them be.

Haerin rode on the black jaguar’s back after receiving permission and said, "Mr. Big, Black Cat, let’s go!"
