"What a small and backwards universe community this is!
I don't get it. Why would our leader choose to place the evil baby in such a lousy place?" a young man
said scornfully. He was very handsome, and his golden cloak glinted as he glanced arrogantly at his
surroundings.
His deep red eyes were narrowed with disdain.
"I heard that this universe community used to be a much better place, in ancient times.
But after the evil baby was placed here, it absorbed the energy of the place over time, until it ended up
like this,"
someone answered.
It was another member of the beast race, a young woman who looked around calmly at the universe
community.
Her beauty was breathtaking.
Anyone who saw her would be astounded by her beauty, finding it difficult to describe in words the
effect she had on others.
She had flawless skin, with fine, delicate features.
Even in the company of other beautiful young women, she would stand out.
Indeed, she was such an enchanting young woman that almost everyone would suspect they were in a
dream upon meeting her.
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen," said an old man from behind them.
They turned. An old man in a blue robe was coming to meet the troops of the beast race and of the
isolated alien spaces.
"Lyndon, no need for small talk. Let's cut to the chase. Did you get everything ready?" someone said
impatiently.
The nine young members of the beast race didn't seem to have a lot of respect for Lyndon.
The old man was unperturbed. "Please rest assured.
I have arranged everything according to Master Marlon's orders.
After you have had some rest, I will lead you there,"
he replied politely.
The nine young talents were from powerful families, and the leader of the Beast City thought highly of
them.
Fully aware of the stature of his visitors, Lyndon had decided to be humble and be of service to them.
"Lyndon, are there any interesting places in the three thousand big and small universes?
Is there anything special about any of them?" the beautiful girl asked in a curious tone.
She gazed keenly at him.
"Grace, we're not here for sightseeing.
Stop messing around.
We have important business to conduct.
Stick to our plan, otherwise you might make a mistake, then you'll have to face the consequences,"
said another young man from the beast race.
He was well-built, and his body was covered with scales.
"I see. Come on, Beasley, don't be so serious,"
Grace said, sticking her tongue out playfully at her companion.
Beasley was one of the most powerful among the young generation of the beast race in the Beast City,
and he was quite conscious of his status and quick to lecture others on the proper way to behave.
In fact, many of the other young members of the beast race were slightly afraid of him.
"Let's go back to our stronghold and get some rest," Lyndon said.
He led the troops of the beast race and of the isolated alien spaces to the stronghold of the gods of
darkness. They moved swiftly, but in secrecy.
Meanwhile, in the Underworld Cosmos, a figure shrouded with a malevolent aura stood on top of a
mountain made up of countless corpses. Two beams of light shot out from his eyes. Due to the strong
corpse miasma which surrounded the figure, no one could get a clear view of him.
"It looks like Marlon has gotten impatient and is going to take action in advance.
The evil baby is a valuable asset.
Ha! We are going to join the party,"
the figure said, letting out a burst of cold, harsh laughter.
"Heed my orders. Select a group of young talents and send them to the Yellow Cosmos to get the evil
baby,"
the figure ordered.
There were several men in black robes standing respectfully in the distance. They bowed to the figure.
"Yes, sir," they replied.
Further out, very close to the edge of the three thousand big and small universes, the Divine Corpse
Palace floated in the void.
"The troops sent by Marlon have arrived,"
said a ringing voice that echoed around the halls of the palace.
"Well, this time, we are not only going to collect the divine god's corpses. We are also going to get our
hands on the evil baby!
It is a priceless treasure.
If we obtain it, we could put him to good use,"
someone else responded.
"But if we take the evil baby, Marlon will surely be mad at us. Even worse, he might declare war on us.
Should we report this to our leader and await his decision?"
the first voice said in a worried tone.
"There's no need for that.
Our leader already asked me to get the evil baby at all costs.
Besides, which one is worse, losing the evil baby or declaring war on the Beast City?"
the second voice said.
"Of course, losing the evil baby would be worse," the first voice admitted.
It added, "Well, then, it's settled.
We're going to choose some excellent young talents.
Let's dispatch them to get to the evil baby in the Yellow Cosmos."
Back in the stronghold of the gods of darkness, a banquet had been held to honor those who arrived
from Beast City.
Hackett and Elliot toasted the nine young members of the beast race, welcoming their arrival.
The creatures from the beast race and from the isolated alien spaces accepted the banquet as their
due, and drank and talked among themselves. It was a strange and unusual scene.
At the same time, in the stronghold of the gods of light, an uninvited guest arrived.
He was a headless, bulky man.
It was none other than Thad.
"Thad, what are you doing here?" several voices exclaimed all at once.
Parker, Alethea, Frost, and other premium-grade divine gods of light came to Thad at once,
surrounding him.
"I've come because I have something important to tell you.
The leader of the Beast City has sent out a large army. By now it has reached the three thousand big
and small universes.
This army is powerful enough to destroy you," Thad said.
He spoke in a level tone, but with an expression of urgency.
"What did you just say?" "Are you serious?"
Parker and the others spoke at the same time, sounding shocked.
Finally, Parker stepped forward and the others fell silent. "Are you certain about this, Thad?"
he asked, frowning.
"I swear that I am telling the truth.
Although I have left the gods of darkness, there are still some of my spiritual soul marks in the
stronghold, and some of my trusted subordinates remain there as well.
So I am able to keep track of the movement and plans of the gods of darkness.
Marlon sent his men here for two purposes. The first is to get the ten young members of the beast race
into the Yellow Cosmos.
The second is to destroy you,"
Thad said.
Upon hearing this, Parker, Alethea and other top gods of light exchanged looks of stunned dismay.
Alethea came forward, gazing at That. "Thad, why did you share this with us?"
she said softly.
"Because I can't live with what's happening.
I have done so much for the gods of darkness, and ended up almost getting killed by them.
Now I have been forced into hiding, tending to my injuries while recalling the past. And I have realized
that what I did was wrong.
Moreover, Hackett is also a powerful member of the beast race from the Beast City. He had been sent
to the three thousand big and small universes by Marlon.
Although Elliot was born and grew up in the three thousand big and small universes, he has long
pledged loyalty to Marlon.
Those two are strong and Marlon manipulates them completely.
The so-called gods of darkness is actually under Marlon's control.
It was Marlon who ordered Hackett and Elliot to place that evil baby in the three thousand big and small
universes.
My plight has reminded me that I am also a part of the three thousand big and small universes. I lost
my sense of right and wrong and ended up working for Marlon. I have thought about all of this long and
hard, and I have realized I made a huge mistake," Thad said.
It was an unusually lengthy and impassioned speech from Thad, but he was determined to make them
understand his motivations and convince them he was telling the truth.
"So, the leader of the Beast City was behind all the disasters in the three thousand big and small
universes, including that ancient divine battle?"
Frost asked with wide eyes.
"Yes, Marlon was responsible for all that.
Most if not all of our troubles are because of him,"
Thad answered.
"But from now on, I will fight for the three thousand big and small universes!"
he added, turning to look at Parker.
Parker gazed back at him solemnly. "Good.
From now on you are one of us,"
he said seriously.
From this moment on, Thad was pledged to the gods of light.
"Marlon decided to send ten noble young members of the beast race to the Yellow Cosmos. I think that
they are there for the evil baby.
I suspect that this group has two tasks. One is to help the evil baby come to the world and protect it.
The other one is to build a relationship with it so that they can control it.
Although the Yellow Cosmos is protected by all kinds of arrays and restriction spells, I think that Marlon
can destroy all of them or at least find a way in.
So we need to take action now,"
Thad explained.
"Yes, you are right. We must stop them,"
Parker said quickly, his eyes hooded as he considered the situation.
Alethea suddenly chimed in. "So, whoever is the first to establish a relationship with that evil baby will
also be able to control it; is that right?
Then why don't we beat them to the evil baby? Let's also send some of our own young talents into the
Yellow Cosmos to fight with the members of the beast race and gain control over the evil baby.
If we are able to do that, we'll also be able to defeat the rest of their plans,"
she suggested.
The other divine gods nodded. "That's right.
Maybe that's our best strategy,"
they said, looking marginally more cheerful now that they had a plan.
"We can give it a shot,"
Thad agreed.
