As soon as Elder Ancestor Bai had renounced the behavior, no one dared to speak for a while .
Shortly after, however, some people began to speculate . General Nie had sought refuge with an Upper Realm Demon Lord, could Elder Ancestor really handle it himself?
Most likely, he would do as what he did with Vigilante A and put up with it .
General Nie had probably thought of that, and so he left without holding onto any fear of repercussions .
Having thought that, some of them were not amused . Elder Ancestor Bai's words did not seem to carry much weight in that circumstance .
However, they were not idiots who would show these on their faces .
However, with Elder Ancestor Bai's power, he could easily pluck those thoughts from their minds just by looking at their eyes .
That was just how it was .
Power could make others behave respectfully in front of someone, but to make them really respect him, he would need to be able to carry out his promises .
He made up his mind to not expose them and said, "Shixin, your suggestion was excellent, I'll allow you to head the planning of the Demonic Sharing Platform . Aim to finish it as soon as possible . Humans have too big of a historical baggage, so we should aim to unite the demons of Earth before them . "
"Yes, Elder Ancestor . " Bai Shixin kept his gaze calm .
Cang Gongzi was not fit for a king, it could only be a sage for the Greater Rat Clan like how Confucius, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu are to humans .
All because it was not fierce enough . . .
No matter if he was carrying out his ulterior motive, he would have to object to Cang Gongzi's election!
Elder Ancestor Bai did not seem to have noticed his thoughts . After he had assigned the tasks, he adjourned the meeting .
In the meeting room, he alone stood in silence for a good few moments before he disappeared .
. . .
After the Stairway to Heaven episode had concluded and the Divine Monument had shown the Divine List, it flew away on its own . Needless to say, it was looking for its master, Vigilante A .
As there were no further reasons to stay, all of the groups of creatures began their journey home .
In mid-air, Brett the black dog was heading home before it got stopped by someone .
It bared its sharp fangs and glared at the one who stopped it .
The yellow dog and the eagle had already taken their wives to spend their rare holiday on a trip .
It was left with the task of sending the white hamster to Qi City, where the hamster would take the Golden Train to Morality City for work .
"Oh, respectable Earthly Hound, I only wished to speak with my child . Hope you could allow me this wish . " Elder Ancestor Bai smiled lightly .
Brett sniffed the air . A familiar scent came from the other person, which triggered some fearful memories it held .
It turned around and looked at the white hamster who was meditating on its back and spaced out a little .
"It is your child? I guess it could be true . " The black dog had never paid attention to rumors like that . Aside from watching videos, most of the time, its brain was in a spacey state .
"It looked like it was sleeping though, maybe you should wait for it to wake up . " The black dog was still pretty nice to its compatriot, it did not want to disturb the white hamster's sleep .
After all, this was the only friend he had aside from Dragon Carp in its Master's residence . Xue Ba the yellow dog had always imposed its superiority over it .
Two of a kind never agree, after all .
"Is that so? I shall wait . " Elder Ancestor Bai said politely without the ferocity it showed just moments ago .
"No need for that . I can tell you why I did what I did now . " said the white hamster suddenly .
"Why?" Elder Ancestor Bai asked .
"I did not step onto the stairway because I am not ready . If I did what you expected of me, you would've used that to force me to take over the Greater Rat Clan . " Cang Gongzi said slowly .
"Is that so? You're still evading your responsibility . . . " Elder Ancestor Bai did not look surprised, "there wasn't much time left . There are people who are aiming for the throne, and I don't mind changing my heir . "
Having finished, he turned around and left with his back turned toward the black dog and the white hamster .
"I say, Brother Cang, you're in line for the throne?" Brett's eyes were sparkling . It did not expect the tiny rat it had been carrying came from royalty .
"Yeah, that old man kept wanting me to succeed him, but I still have some confusion I need to sort out . I can't succeed him in this state . " The white hamster seemed unusually upset .
"What's the confusion? Tell me, maybe I can give you some advice," said the black dog with its head slanted to the side .
"Uh, I shouldn't worry you with my concerns . " The white hamster shook its head . Everyone knew that Brett was the dumb brute of the family .
Involving it in its own concerns would likely result in it being muddied even further .
"Even you were looking down upon me . " The black dog lamented in discouragement .
Cang Gongzi was a kind-hearted hamster, it immediately said, "Brother Brett, you misunderstood . I just didn't want to burden you . If you insist, I'll vent a little . "
"Just spill it, I'm listening," said the black dog with an unusual compassion .
"I have three main concerns . I have confirmed my path of cultivation, but firstly, I don't know how to let the Greater Rats cohabit with humans; Secondly, I don't know if I have the quality of a king; Thirdly, I don't know if I can persevere through the future challenges that are sure to come . "
"Oh, this is easy . I have the solution . " The black dog said matter-of-factly .
"Brother Brett, I'm happy to be educated . " Cang Gongzi was ecstatic .
"Ask our Master . He's mighty, powerful, and near-omnipotent . . . With his arsenal of abilities, he would definitely be able to solve your problem for you . " Brett said in adoration .
"Uh . . . you have a point . " The white hamster was not someone who would burden others, so it had never thought about throwing the responsibility to Vigilante A .
However, since Brett had advised it, it might be time to consult the Venerable One .
. . .
Soon after, in mid-air, somewhere .
Vigilante A was intercepting the malevolent demons and ghosts that were already on his list .
They had just left the Divine Gate, going home with excitement . The Divine List had spoken, and the concentration of vitality would be redistributed soon enough . This was the time to cultivate, to strengthen themselves . Only when they were powerful can they do whatever they want .
They had forgotten, they were already being served on a silver platter since a month ago .
"Not bad, each one of them could give me several hundred thousand to several million experience points, this is such a nice side income . " exclaimed the System as it struck a weirdly misshapen monster into dust with a palm strike .
"As long as you're happy, but don't over-farm them," Fang Ning reminded . "There are good and bad seeds in there, you have to distinguish them carefully . "
"Don't worry, my System Map might be vulnerable to misplacement, but it would not mistake the monsters . "
"That's nice to hear . " Fang Ning was relieved .
As he finished, he saw Cang Gongzi's Wechat message .
After reading its three concerns, Fang Ning gave it a thought and forwarded it to Anderson to set as the monthly quiz's questions .
"1 . On the Subject of Compatibility Between Humans and Greater Rats"
"2 . The Quality of a King"
"3 . A Discussion of Having Perseverance"
Fang Ning followed up with a reply on Wechat, "Don't worry, Cang Gongzi . This is an easy task that will take ten days to a month at most . Just do what you have to do and take care . "
Having received Fang Ning's prompt reply, the white hamster was moved .
It did not expect the Venerable One to prioritize its concerns even as he was busy .
It was no wonder the black dog was so trusting of Vigilante A . Even if it had given up on finding a mate, it still made the effort to help him .
"Brother Brett, thank you for your advice . Once we're free, I will definitely treat you a huge meal," said the hamster gratefully .
"You're welcome . We're partners, so we must help each other, this is what Master had always taught us . Oh right, I love huge bones, make sure you find somewhere with that . " After spending a whole month in the air without eating, Brett's craving was almost insatiable .
"Of course," said Cang Gonzgi spiritedly . Anyone would be subjected to dilemmas like this . Most of the time, it was not something one could get through on their own . That was where good friends come in .
The dog and the hamster arrived home soon after .
Brett accompanied the hamster to the Golden Train on the east of Qi City and sent it off .
It gave it a thought and immediately moved around . It had helped its Master to look for demons and treasures in the past . Now that there were no orders, it needed to show its versatility .
'Oh, well . I should look for rare items and rare herbs or something . Master would definitely be happy that I'd do this for him, and when he's happy, I might even get paired with a wife of my own . . . '
