Chapter 137
The golden shaded cat yelled "Damn it!" and then ran onto the bed, grabbing the blue cat's tail with its big paws.
The blue cat was angry, its eyes were sharp, and it turned its head and asked, "What are you doing?"
The golden shaded girl glared angrily, like a big loaf of bread that was baked until it was puffed up. "I'm the one asking you what you're doing!"
Qingmao snorted, as if looking at an idiot, and said as a matter of course: "Can't you see? I want to sleep with my father."
As He said this, He pulled His tail hard.
However, the golden shaded cat did not let go and suddenly straightened his tail.
It hurts! Stop it now! The blue cat was furious, his fur standing on end.
The golden shaded cat grabbed the cat vigorously and scolded: "No climbing on the bed!"
The blue cat said as a matter of course: "But father looks very cold!"
The golden gradient looked like he knew everything. "I've heard this reason from Butis countless times!"
The blue cat said angrily: "Stupid snake!"
"I see you're cold too, why don't you let me warm you up."
As the golden shaded cat spoke, its big furry belly was revealed.
The blue cat immediately showed a look of disgust.
"Hey, who taught you to look at your brother like that?"
The golden shaded cat was also angry, its fur stood up, and it looked like it was ready to fight.
And indeed fought.
Then, Devon the Cat raised his head and saw his two brothers fighting on the bed, which eventually developed into a claw fight at superluminal speed.
Devon Cat: “…”
Unreliable brother demons.
The Devon cat shook his head, then turned over his paws and looked at them carefully, as if he was examining himself.
His strength is recovering along with his memory, and he has now entered the middle level of the first echelon without any obstacles. Just now, another memory box was opened, unlocking a part of his awakening history as the ancestor god of the elves.
From the perspective of time, this period of history spans a long period of time from more than 100,000 years ago to more than 9,000 years ago. The life of the "Ancestor God of the Elves" was very long, almost the same length as the lifespan of this planet.
The age of this planet and its past certainly cannot be only a hundred thousand years. It’s just that the memories before that are vague and patchy, making it difficult to recall them clearly.
In his memory, every awakening of the Elves' Ancestor God was a cycle lasting about 100,000 years, after which he would fall into deep sleep again.
As the ancestor god, he protects the elves, but not forever, as there is always a period of dormancy in between.
The elves were once a powerful race that ranked among the top ten in the universe. However, as time passed, the pure blood of the elves gradually diluted, and today's elves seem a little dim compared to the glory of the ancient times.
As the ancestor god of the elves, has he ever thought about reversing the decline of the elves?
The answer is no.
He did not have much attachment to his ethnic group. Perhaps he had in the past, because he was instructed a long time ago to protect his race as the ancestor god. This was his mission, but the river of time was too long, and even the attachment he once had would eventually be diluted. Even he himself had forgotten why he had been so attached.
...This feeling is like clenching your fist for a long time, your finger bones are trembling and sore due to the force, and you think you are holding a priceless treasure in your hand, but when you open your hand and open your palm, you find that there is actually nothing in your hand.
Eternal life makes all experiences and experiences become like passing clouds, losing their original meaning. He tried to leave something behind, but found that even if he left something, it would not last long and would be fleeting.
There is only an indescribable feeling of bitterness and depression in my heart, as if I am in a wilderness, empty and lonely.
If we use the "secret language" between gods to describe his condition, it would be [eternal depression].
This is a disease with a profound sense of powerlessness. Everything you see seems empty, and you are always in a state of weightlessness, half asleep and half awake, sometimes in reality and sometimes in dreams.
He suddenly discovered the reason why He once gave up His memory.
Because His memory was too long and too heavy, like an insurmountable mountain, which made Him breathless and bound by endless memories.
"I had to cut off my memory, otherwise I would not be able to escape and move forward. That's what I thought at the time."
Lelakin recalled the past, and those past conversations and scenes gradually became clear from the haze.
He recalled the conversation with Agares, which was a sunny afternoon, just after the family meeting. In that meeting, He mentioned that he had a possible way to find his father, but he was not completely sure.
On the third day after the family meeting, Agares suddenly appeared in the ancestral land of the elves and proposed a detailed plan to him, saying that this plan could help him rescue his father.
He had absolute trust in Agares, so he accepted his proposal without hesitation.
Later, Agares revealed more things to Him, including the evil of the universe, the Creator God, and the truth about his father's two murders.
This information made Him feel unbelievable for a while. At that time, He also asked Agares why he didn't tell the information to other demons. Agares' answer was a little intriguing.
——“They will know.”
He had thought at the time that Agares would tell them at the right time, but looking back now, he realized that Agares did not intend to tell them directly, but hoped that they would explore and discover the truth on their own.
From that moment till now, everything seemed to be within Agares' expectations. Neither the actions of the God of Creation nor any other changes were beyond his expectations.
In a sense, with Agares on their side, everything was guaranteed and there was nothing to worry about. They only needed to focus on their tasks, because no matter what, the final result would move in the direction predetermined by Agares.
However, now that my father is back, the truth has come to light and all the culprits behind the scenes have surfaced, but my second brother, who was the one who caused all this, has not returned yet.
Lelakin silently lowered his eyes, revealing deep worry. He had tried to contact Agares many times, but each attempt was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any response.
How is His second brother now?
While Lelakin was thinking, the two cats next to him finally finished their fight and were so tired that they stroked the edge of the bed, panting.
The blue cat stared at the golden shaded cat with a burning desire to win in its eyes, and it seemed that it didn't want to admit defeat.
The golden gradient spread his arms, raised his chin and said, "Sidi, you kid, stay over there, don't come over here!"
“Why?”
The blue cat was dissatisfied and punched the air angrily.
Golden Gradient: "You came back late, you are unfilial!"
The blue cat gnashed its teeth and its tail stood up in anger.
"I won't do anything to my father!"
"You said yourself that your power is dangerous. Now I feel the same way, so be honest!"
The golden tabby cat looked confident and righteous, like an older brother disciplining his younger brother.
The blue cat's cheeks puffed up, filled with anger, but in the end it chose to endure, curling up meekly beside the pillow. Its tail swayed gently like a fan. After the anger subsided, its expression became heavy again, as if it had thought of something complicated.
"Father..." The blue cat called softly, with deep emotion revealed in his eyes.
However, the golden tabby cat flicked the blue cat's head and said with a hint of teasing: "Add meow at the end of the sentence!"
The blue cat was slightly stunned, and seemed to want to refute, but finally compromised: "Meow, meow!"
-
At the same time, in the dream, the sun was setting and a gentle breeze was blowing.
The young man lying flat on the grass suddenly sat up, as if he heard some voice, and said to himself: "Is Sidi calling me?"
He stood up quickly and looked around, but found nothing unusual.
Is this an illusion? He couldn't help wondering, but it didn't seem like it. Hughes fell into deep thought.
His twelfth child, Sidi, was a little withdrawn, often squatting on the ground to watch ants. He was only one year old, but he seemed very thoughtful, observing some very small things, and his eyes were sometimes dark when he looked at him. But he was essentially a good child, because he had never done any harm to those little lives.
There might be some unknown dark side hidden in His nature, but He chose to restrain Himself because He knew that it was a bad thing. At first, He was still young, and this restraint seemed a little clumsy, but after growing up for a few months, He quickly became proficient.
Hughes was worried that Sidi would be upset by this, but he didn't know how to bring up the topic, so he kept his worries to himself and planned to have a deep talk with him at the right time. But he didn't expect that he would have an accident before the fact, and he would never have the chance to tell the child again.
"No, now is your chance."
It’s a pity that Sidi has not returned home until now.
"Where are you?" Do you remember Dad?
Everything about this world is good except that it is too quiet. Without the lively children, it feels too empty.
The main reason why Xiu Si stayed in the dream was to find the young man, but he didn't know how many years had passed and he still couldn't find the young man. He began to doubt whether it was meaningful to continue searching aimlessly like this.
"Should I wake up first?"
Hughes soon found the answer for himself.
-
Ten minutes later.
The blue cat was not used to the cat's body. It was tired from playing with the golden shaded cat, so it curled up on the bed with a slightly sleepy look in its eyes.
He tilted his head slightly and confirmed that the golden shaded cat was dozing off beside him, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose.
At this moment, a familiar and unexpected voice broke the silence.
"Sidi?"
The blue cat was stunned.
The sudden voice passed through His heart like an electric current, shocking Him!
He turned his head in disbelief, and saw the figure of a young man with black eyes. That was the father he missed day and night.
"Father meow!"
He jumped up excitedly and ran towards Hughes, and Hughes caught him accurately.
"Sidi, you are finally back!" Xius' voice was full of surprise.
He didn't expect that he would see his twelfth cub as soon as he woke up. Could it be that they were telepathic and sensed it?
What surprised Xius even more was that his twelfth cub had such a rare fur color, a gradient of pure white, sky blue, and dark purple, which looked so beautiful!
The blue cat said excitedly: "Yes! Does father miss me, meow?"
Xius smiled and responded: "Haha, of course I missed you. Before, I didn't know where to find you."
After hearing this, Sidi laughed proudly, "Hehe, I will go home by myself, Dad doesn't need to worry, meow!" His cute appearance now is completely different from before.
The golden tabby cat beside him was speechless when he saw this, and muttered to himself, "Who said that being cute is shameful?"
Where did the cold-blooded Abyss Lord Sidi go? Isn't this a good sale?
The blue cat was small in size, just enough to fit comfortably in Zeus' arms. Its face was filled with happiness, and inexplicably it looked a little annoying.
But there is no other way. The golden gradient thought, it's time to let this guy have some candy.
It was exactly 9:30 in the morning when Hughes woke up. He got up while chatting with Sidi, and before he knew it, He climbed onto his shoulders.
He combed its hair and brought the Devon cat and golden shaded cat up as well.
"Are you the only ones looking after the house today?" asked Hughes.
"Yes meow!"
The blue cat answered immediately.
Only after becoming a cat did I realize how happy it is to have my hair combed. It feels so comfortable that I want to roll around on the ground, meow!
Among the three cats, the golden shaded cat is undoubtedly the one that sheds the most hair.
A handful of golden retriever is like cotton.
On the other side, the virtuous Devon cat was cleaning up cat hair with a small shovel.
The golden shaded cat couldn't believe it. It looked at the cat fur moving away from it, as if it had lost a very important part of itself.
"Why am I losing so much hair?" the golden shaded cat was anxious. "If this continues, won't I become bald?"
The blue cat couldn't bear to watch, and patted the golden shaded cat's back, "Why are you pretending? Your power is quantity control, are you afraid of losing a few hairs?"
After hearing this, Jin Jianceng paused, then gritted his teeth and retorted: "These are two different things! Only those immature demons would rely on power in their daily lives."
Oh, so it's a matter of principle. Qingmao snorted.
Jin Jianceng thought to himself, "How can you be so disrespectful, kid? I am your fifth brother!"
The blue cat ignored him, turned around, and ran into his father's arms again.
Zeus caught him skillfully and gave him some introduction as usual.
The blue cat already knew this, but it still seemed to know nothing. It nodded as it listened, being docile and sensible.
Hughes made the bed and then led them out of the bedroom. I slept too long this time and felt sore all over, so I had to walk around.
"My father runs a bookstore here, meow?"
The blue cat asked knowingly, with his eyes wide open.
Xius nodded and said, "Yes, do you want me to take you to see it?"
"Okay!" Qingmao looked excited.
Hughes smiled slightly, as if he had thought of something, and made an eggplant knitted hood.
The blue cat's eyes lit up.
Hughes asked, "Would you like to try it on?"
"want!"
Zeus then put it on his head. The cute cat face and the eggplant headgear made him look cartoony and dreamy, so adorable that it would melt you.
"Do you like it?"
"I like it, meow!"
As he spoke, Hughes had already walked to the bookstore.
He put the children down, turned around, opened the door of the bookstore, and then checked the time.
Only then did Zeus realize that he had slept for five consecutive days. During the time he was asleep, many major events happened outside, including the resurrection of the hero Roger, the successive appearances of the missing heroes, and the historic cooperation between humans and elves.
The system's news space is filled with news, and it's hard to read them all.
It seems... there are some sayings about the Lord of the Abyss?
When he saw this, Xiuston paused, as if he thought of something, his brows slightly frowned, and his eyes became a little solemn.
Just then, some excited voices were heard at the door.
"It's Mr. Isius!"
"What? Mr. Isius finally showed up."
"Oh yeah, not only did he show up, he brought back a new cat!"
"Shocked, I've never seen such a pattern before, such beautiful breasts, look at auntie, ah, really look at me, so cute!"
It was a familiar discussion, and Xiu Si recognized them.
He turned around and saw that they were indeed the customers who often came to the store.
When they noticed he was looking at them, they immediately smiled and waved, greeting him from afar.
He smiled and nodded.
The blue cat beside him didn't seem to care about being discussed. It turned its head and blinked, which was so cute that it caused a scream outside the door.
Hughes turned around and patted His head, "You must get along well with your neighbors."
The blue cat raised its head and said lazily: "Meow~"
Zeus was touched by the cuteness and couldn't help but rub his face.
The golden-grey next to him had a look as if he saw through everything, thinking to himself: Look, what is a scheming demon? This is a one-stop service for acting cute, acting coquettish, pretending to be stupid, and slurring music. All his skills are maxed out. Who can outsmart him?
The golden shaded cat turned and looked at the Devon cat.
Devon Cat's eyes were calm and thoughtful.
After the bookstore opened, several customers came in from outside.
They rarely come here just to buy books, but more often to "sightsee".
Because "Mr. Iseus's Bookstore" is a well-known tourist attraction in the Oedipus Empire, also known as the Cat Bookstore. The most popular time was when it was said that a mighty golden tiger appeared, but when I looked at it today... Eh? Where is the tiger?
Someone couldn't help but ask Hughes.
Hughes smiled and replied, "He is not here."
"is that so?"
The man felt a little regretful and brought up another topic: "Mr. Isius, do you know what the wandering poets all over the continent are talking about?"
"What?"
Xius was stunned.
The three cats on the table pricked up their ears.
The golden shaded layer thought to himself that it was finally here! I leave it to you, passerby, tell your father quickly that we are kind-hearted and full of love for our compatriots!
As expected, the man said in amazement: "In recent days, the Wandering Poets' new history compilation has put forward a very shocking view, saying that our human era was created by the Lord of the Abyss!"
Xius was surprised.
He was suddenly told this and for a moment he couldn't figure out what was going on.
And that person continued: "The Abyss Lords love each other and have a very good relationship. It turns out that we humans have always misunderstood!"
Another person next to him said, "They also respect and love the Lord of the Abyss very much. They have been waiting for the Lord of the Abyss for more than 8,000 years!"
Another person added: "Yeah, I never thought they were so filial."
Xius couldn't help but say, "These statements...are very different from what is in the history books."
"Really? The wandering poets in our national square have been telling the history of the Abyss day and night. They have been telling it for five consecutive days and nights, and it is still being updated. And do you know? The history they tell has been authoritatively recognized by the continental human alliance!"
The man became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face turned red.
Hughes thought in his heart that this was indeed an incredible thing. They existed as the Abyss, but secretly paid for humans, and finally gave the continent to humans, and then went to the subspace one after another.
"…They are fine."
Xius thought about it and couldn't help but sigh.
The three cats' six ears all heard it and immediately showed happy expressions.
Great, my father believed it! They were successfully cleared of all charges, ugh! Their reputation was restored!
But unfortunately, Agares's cognitive tampering was still in effect, and my father seemed not to hear the humans discussing their names.
Otherwise, when my father heard that “the Lord of the Abyss is a creation of twenty-four fellows”, he should have thought of them.
Blue Cat thought to himself, after all, Agares must be awakened, but what is the current progress of Agares' magic?
He turned to look at his father again.
He could feel that his father had become much stronger. Compared to before, not only his strength, but also the values of dimensions such as mental power had increased.
But my father's strength is not eye-catching, unlike those warriors and magicians, who look extraordinary once they become stronger. Instead, my father's strength has a feeling that the stronger he becomes, the more worldly he becomes. Or should we say, returning to nature?
Xiu Si lowered his head, as if he noticed His observation, turned his head to look into His eyes, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
The blue cat was stunned, realizing that his father's perception had really become stronger, and replied: "I was thinking that my father was becoming more and more powerful, meow."
"Haha, Dad has been working hard lately."
Hughes smiled. He worked so hard just for the children, and the children's recognition certainly made him happy.
Looking into Xiu Si's eyes, the blue cat couldn't help but take a few steps closer, raised his face, and suddenly asked innocently, "Father, do you like Creation Meow?"
"Hmm?" Xiu Si was a little surprised by His sudden question, but he answered without hesitation: "Of course I like it."
The blue cat tilted its head and asked again, "Why do you like meow?"
"Because... there will be a surprise."
Xiusi looked down, thoughtful.
"Surprise?" Qingmao's eyes became brighter.
Xiu Si lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Because... every creation is full of unknowns and possibilities, which brings me surprises. Before the work is completed, I cannot foresee its final appearance, and even if the work is successfully born, I cannot predict the future of the work."
Secondly, there may be another reason.
Xiu Si opened his mouth, but seemed to be hesitant to speak. If he said that creation might also be to fight against his loneliness, or even nothingness.
What will the children think? I feel like this is not a topic I should talk to them about.
While he was deep in thought, his palm suddenly felt soft.
He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and found that it was the blue cat that was pushing its head against his palm.
He was touched and smoothed His fur, then asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, meow."
"Really?"
"Thinking about dad is nice, meow."
The blue cat nodded, his tone solemn, "It's not someone else, it's father, it's really great, meow."
Zeus didn't fully understand what He meant. The only thing he knew was that his child seemed very happy.
But now let's count which of the kids haven't returned home yet? There are only three left: Agares, Baimon, and Jie Pai.
For some reason, when thinking of Agares, Hughes suddenly felt nervous. He thought about it, and his eyes changed instantly, and he suddenly realized that the young man he was looking for in his dream was his second son!
The blue cat noticed his expression change and asked, "Father, what's wrong, meow?"
"Agares," Xius lowered his head and asked worriedly, "Do you know Agares' situation?"
The three cats were stunned.
I know, but I don’t know.
They knew that the second brother was in a dream, but they didn't know what his current state was.
In the dream, my third brother and Amon are watching over me. I should tell them if anything happens.
My father is worried about my second brother. Did he sense something?
The three cats exchanged ideas quickly.
The blue cat replied: "Second brother is in a dream, meow."
"Dream?"
Xius was stunned and realized that things were not simple.
Qingmao nodded and explained, "Second brother should be back soon, but we can't say when."
“Is He in danger?”
Qingmao thought that it was not dangerous, but he didn't know when he would wake up.
He shook his head and said frankly, "We don't know either, but we believe in Second Brother. He can solve any problem."
Jin Jianceng also said: "That's right, our second brother is omniscient and powerful. No matter what happens, he will be able to turn danger into safety!"
Zeus thought about what they said and repeated the words "omniscient and omnipotent" in his mind.
Is "omniscience and omnipotence" really a good thing for Agares?
Hughes frowned, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart - Agares's predicament might be due to his "omniscience and omnipotence". This ability seemed impeccable, but the heavy burden and potential risks contained in it were something he had never thought of before.
But what could he do for Agares?
Since his resurrection, it has always been the children who found him. This time, Xius doesn't want to continue waiting and must take action.
I am their father and I must protect them from the wind and rain.
Zeus thought about it quickly and said to them, "Take me to the dreamland, I will come to find Agares, okay?"
The three cats were stunned at the same time, as if they didn't expect Xius to say that.
But they couldn't refuse Hughes.
After exchanging glances, the golden shaded cat nodded first, followed by the Devon cat.
Finally, the blue cat said to Zeus, "Okay, let's get ready now, meow!"
Hughes felt a little relieved.
He was also worried that the children would continue to hide the truth from him, but they did not.
He asked, “How long will it take to prepare?”
Qingmao stroked his chin and said, "One or two hours?"
Hughes smiled, "Okay, tell Dad when you're ready."
The three cats nodded at the same time and then gathered together.
From the outside, it looked like a furry gathering. Although the atmosphere was serious, it was inexplicably cute.
Xius was waiting for them, and at the same time, he looked at his current situation.
When he woke up, his stats changed a lot, the two most eye-catching ones were: career level 90 and career matching rate 95%.
Level 90, a level he had never dared to think about, but now he had successfully reached it. It felt a bit like a dream. There seemed to be only a few hundred level 90 humans in the entire continent. Was he such a rare existence now?
Xiu Si knew it later. If it was before, he might doubt that he was not worthy of this position, but now...
He lowered his eyes, and suddenly touched his chest, and found that he no longer had the uneasiness he had before. Instead, he felt calm, or natural.
It seems like it should be this way.
“…”
Xius fell into deep thought, and couldn't help asking himself why he felt this way. But this question was not easy to answer, because feelings were difficult to describe and could not be explained clearly.
But……
Xius thought about it, and after a few seconds, he closed his eyes and chose to think quietly.
-
At this time, the three cats are contacting Vashak.
After hearing what they said, Vashak was shocked and said, "Father is coming!"
"Yes, so Third Brother and Seventh Brother, you guys should get ready quickly."
Sidi spoke bluntly.
Vashak's mouth twitched slightly, and he really wanted to go over and give Sidi a beating, but the most urgent things were his father and Agares.
"You said prepare..." Amon stroked his chin and asked in confusion, "What do you want us to prepare?"
Malbus was stunned for a second, then immediately said: "Of course it is to create the conditions for communicating with Agares!"
Vassago and Amon looked at each other.
Vashak spread his hands and said, "If we could create such conditions, we would have been able to contact Agares a long time ago."
The air froze subtly for a second.
The three cats exchanged glances again.
Xidi had something in mind, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, let's let father go directly."
This time it was Vashak's turn to be nervous.
“Humans enter the deep realm of dreams…” Will there be any danger?
The answer is yes.
That's why they should be put to better use.
Vashak said calmly, "Okay, leave it to me. I will create an absolutely safe environment."
The five cats finished their conversation and then began to execute.
Half an hour later, Vashak finished the task and immediately called for help.
After receiving the OK pass, Qingmao ran to Xius immediately.
"Father, it's ok meow!"
Zeus slowly opened his eyes, his eyes revealing a brief trance, and then he focused on the "Him" in front of him.
"good."
He nodded and smiled, "I'll leave it to you."
Ten minutes later, Xius walked out of the space channel and successfully stood firm on the deep plane of the dream.
There is no color around, like a TV screen with no signal.
Here, he felt a cannibalistic silence.
Is this where my second child is? Xius frowned slightly.
Not far behind him, the five demons were watching closely.
Sidi was still worried, “Is it really okay to leave my father there alone?”
The other four demons turned to look at Him.
Vashak said earnestly, "Brother Sidi, believing in your father is what a filial demon should do."
But Sidi's face suddenly changed and he screamed, "Father!!"
The four demons suddenly felt something was wrong and turned around immediately.
