Chapter 2040: 24.301 Sixth Violet Star - Meeting the Prophet (1)
The Beastmen race didn’t have many rules. They only need to respect the royal bloodline and that only the strongest can rule. However, there are a few people you cannot defy especially if they have made a decree. These are the members of the royal family, the family of the beastmen leader Lord Huzi. Among them, the one with the strongest power of decree is the prophet. Sometimes the words of the prophet can be considered more important than the leader’s command, especially when it had something to do with their future sight.
Future Sight, this is an ability that allows one to peek at some future event. It’s a heavenly defying that not all divinities possess. Thanks to the mythical divine beast bloodline on Huzi and Heri, this ability was passed on to them.Their mother was after all a divine beast from the divine realm. Now the current prophet Lord Heri suddenly issued a decree. It meant that he had seen the future and this summoning had something to do with Long Juedi and the other students of his former class.
So the next day, after breakfast, students of the former F-Class of the Beast Taming Academy were all summoned to meet the prophet including their parents. Actually, the parents of these students were already summoned late at night after the decree was passed on by each family. Lord Heri told them what he had foreseen about the future.
The barrier around the ancient forest will eventually get destroyed and war within the ruined city cannot be avoided. The special fate of Long Juedi, Haerin and the rest of the members of the former F-Class was the turning point to defeat the Evil Beast God coming out of the Barren Land. For that reason alone, the group of young adults would be escorted to the borders where their opponents would appear.
Lord Prophet, Heri, doesn’t want to send the children at the borders unless necessary. It’s just that their lives are in much more danger if they stayed in the ancient forest than in the borderlands. Their current location actually is the closest to the area of the world that was destroyed. He had explained these to the parents of the chosen ones and allowed them to make a choice.
Among the children’s parents the first one to agree is the uncle of Long Juedi, Long Kian. He agreed not only to send his nephew but also his son, Long Teng. The borderland and the ruined city, if both places were dangerous and the former had a higher chance of survival, Long Kian wouldn’t hesitate to send their children to the place which is safer as this would give his children a greater chance of survival.
Seeing one parent agreed, the other parents also agreed. Most of them choose to send their children away, but not all of them can enter the borderland. It was decided that the tribe will create an underground facility to keep the children safe even if the barrier breaks and the enemies enter their forest. The preparations had to be planned after the chosen children were summoned.
During the gathering time, children were called by the prophet as per his decree. Though originally only the children from F-Class were summoned, the adults chose to include some members from the S-Class who were able to seek protection from the beastmen during the chaos in the city. They were all escorted to the house of Princess Haerin where they were all warmly welcomed by her.
"You guys are here. Please come in. My parents have been waiting for you," said Haerin as she ran to Long Juedi’s side and grabbed his arm while talking to her other friends.
Cao Heiji said, "Are we truly going to the borders? That sounds cool!"
"Ah~ that sounds tiring~. Brother, stop climbing trees!" Cao Wanji said to his sibling.
Heva said to his sister, "Hevana, don’t be rude to the lord alright. You cannot call him uncle."
"Uncle Vega doesn’t mind me calling him that. Big brother is being annoying," said Hevana.
Nan Jiang looked excited and was climbing the trees with Cao Heiji. The two look like little monkeys jumping around.
Nangong Rui was looking around trying to find Xue Laira. Just as he thought that the person he was looking for wouldn’t appear, someone suddenly fell from above his head screaming.
AAHH~
Upon seeing who it was, he immediately spread his arms to catch her. Before this, Xue Laira urgently asks her Grandpa Tree to teleport her to the Lord Guardian’s place. But she had forgotten that the trees around Haerin’s place are all tall ones, which is the most suitable one for making treehouses. With the help of the Elemental Emperor of the forest, Lord Tree, he used trees as a medium of teleportation. If Grandpa Tree was with her, then Xue Laira would be able to control which part of the tree she would come out from. But she was alone and had chosen the middle trunk forgetting the height of trees in this area making her fall from
Xue Laira said, "Hurry! Hide me! My father doesn’t want me to go to the borders!"
"But there is no place to hide here..." Nangong Rui said.
Princess Shika the dwarf princess said while looking at Xue Laira and Nangong Rui, "Are you two acting in a drama? What’s with the scene of falling from the sky and getting carried like a princess?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Rui and Xue Laira’s faces turned crimson. The latter struggled in the man’s arm, while the former felt awkward by their position but still put the lady down gently. The atmosphere between the two turned awkward as both were feeling shy. Seeing this, their friends wanted to tease them more only for the class leader to speak up.
Long Juedi said, "Alright enough playing. Gather now. We need to go inside and stop making the elders wait!"
After a few years of training and becoming a young adult, the presence of Lon Juedi had changed a lot. Under the training of the beastmen warriors and his master, Lord Vega, he had gained a lot of experience with fight and strategies. He also started to gain a commanding presence as he took control over their group. It can be said that at this moment, Long Juedi’s presence is much more vivid than the former elf prince like Heva.
Under the lead of Long Juedi, they finally entered the treehouse where the Lord Prophet and the Lord Guardian were waiting for their arrival.
Lord Heri spoke with a smile, "You are here. Have a seat. I made some tea and some snacks."
"We will talk as we eat. Take your seats," said Lord Vega.
The children took an empty seat and looked at the two adults in front of them. Lord Heri smiled at them and introduced themselves before the children.
"I am the prophet of the beastmen race, you can call me Lord Heri. This is my mate and the Lord Guardian of the ancient forest, Lord Vega. Pleasure to meet you."
The children accepted his greetings and also introduced themselves. After the introduction was done. The Lord Prophet no longer wasted time and told the children about what he had seen using his ability of future sight.
"You must have been informed by your families about who I am and what my abilities are. You were all gathered here because I wanted to share some information for you and why you were chosen to head to the borders. It might be a bit hard to believe my words at first. However, everything I will tell you is the truth."
Lord Heri, the prophet, finally told them about the truth of this world. The original future he saw before he returned to the ancient forest and his family had not experienced death. They were destined to learn about this truth as they were the ones chosen to protect this world.
"Now, I will tell you the original future which is completely different from what we are undergoing right now."
"In this world, there is the beloved son of the world, the protagonist and his destined enemy, the villain. Long Juedi is the protagonist and the villain is none other than Pei Jin, the contractor of the Evil Beast God. In this future I have foreseen before, the Long Clan and us couple were killed even before the war against the Beast race begins. The borders and the city were lost and alliance between races didn’t appear until the beast race tried to take over the world."
"In this timeline, the first one to perish is the beastmen race. After becoming enemies of the humans, the beastmen race who had lost their leader had left from the barren lands and never returned. Without the support of the beastmen race, the city falls miserably and only 10 percent of the original population remains."
"Long Juedi and Haerin fought against Pei Jin as they led the human race to fight against the beast race. The whole battle was a tragedy and even Haerin died in this timeline. However, in the end, Long Juedi still successfully killed the Evil Beast God and his contractor Pei Jin."
The prophet continues to talk about the original world plot, sharing it with the children. The young adults before him quietly listen to the lord prophet.
