Chapter 957 Invitation To The Celestial Banquet

Chapter 957 Invitation To The Celestial Banquet

With Miwa gone, the attention was back to the Martial Master.

Lilith did not seem pleased by him, but the deity kept urging to send Lith to him. He wanted to see what this genius was capable of and how far he could go.

If there were things that brought emotional changes within Lilith, then this meant it was something new for her. She had a vague idea of future events, but nothing in complete detail.

Lilith wondered whether she should send her son to this baboon or not. After a quick glance at Lith, she sighed and gave up.

Like how it occurred with Miwa, Lith got an offer too.

To his dismay, it did not contain anything heft or heaven-shaking. There were two lines.

— Ascension till Demigod realm.

— Introduction to Sacred Celestian Realm and xxxxxxx.

Some information was hidden for reasons unknown to Lith. But he took up the offer nonetheless.

Unlike Miwa, Lith did not immediately shoot up in the sky. Confused, he looked at his mother.

Lilith patted Lith's head and said, "You can't leave the chaos you created back at home unmanaged. Wind it up, then you're free to go."

'Ah…' It dawned on Lith. He had been so busy with everything that he forgot about the seeds he planted back at home. They should've grown by now and ready to harvest.

Lith nodded his head in understanding. "I definitely can't."

Next, Ralph and Dennis took up on offers given by a few deities.

Ralph took up the offer given by Night Goddess as it seemed more promising.

Dennis was about to take an offer, but the Devil of Gluttony chimed in and said, "Dear youngster, I just got detailed on a new offer. Would you like to know?"

Dennis shrugged. "Sure."

"Amazed by your talents, the Wanderer of Spirit Serenade Realm and Gourmet Gatherer Gerald have come to a consensus to look after you together."

A new line of words appeared in front of Dennis's eyes.

[The Wanderer of Spirit Serenade Realm and Gourmet Gatherer Gerald offer to be your Master and introduce you to the Sacred Celestial Realm. Ascension till Demigod Realm guaranteed. Ascension to True Culinary Master. Can take it to Pseudo Culinary King as well, depending on the potential.]

Dennis had no idea what any of those words meant. He had not heard about any such thing before, but this made him guess that they were powerful realms way beyond the norms of his world.

Dennis agreed to the offer and took up those two as his master.

With that, the contracts came to an end.

"Before we depart, there's another piece of news I have just been given." The Devil of Gluttony clapped his hands once and said.

Right as he finished, a line of words appeared in front of the trio's eyes.

[The Gourmet Association invites the promising youngsters to the 1703rd Celestial Banquet.]

"Hehe, you youngsters are lucky. The invitation is not given to just anybody and is limited to a really small group of powerful cultivators and gods. I suggest you accept it and have a look. Simply participating would get major rewards you would not want to miss." The Devil of Gluttony seduced the gullible lambs.

Not wanting to make a rash decision and believing the big bad wolf, one innocent lamb turned to the mighty mama lamb.

Mama lamb spread her hands out, indicating she did not know anything, and the decision was theirs.

Thinking about it carefully, the innocent lamb had a discussion with the other two, and eventually gave in to the devil's seduction.

[You have accepted the 1703rd Celestial Banquet's invitation.]

[Ding!]

[The Host is being marked!]

[Resist the marking? (Y/N)]

Lith chose No and let the marking be there.

A ray of light shot from a twinkling star and landed on the back of Lith's palm.

A black lotus formed itself in between the thumb and index finger area.

[Ding!]

[You are an official invitee of the 1703rd Celestial Banquet.]

The lotus tattoo did not bring any change on Lith's body. He also could not feel anything from it and thought that it was probably a simple marking as stated by the notifications.

Once the invitation was accepted, the starry sky soon twinkled and the dark clouds reappeared.

The Devil of Gluttony did a courteous bow and said, "Feel free to travel the lands of Two Path Blind Mountain, dear guests. I shall take my leave now."

Like a meteor, the Devil shot up in the sky and disappeared.

The dark clouds eventually disappeared as well and everyone saw the familiar sun once again.

"Let's go—" Lith stopped himself from speaking as he saw his aunt Lucifer was still staring at the sky, with narrowed eyes. "Hm?"

The rest turned to look at her as well.

Lilith walked up to Lucifer and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, you'll see them soon, in some way or another."

Lucifer stopped looking up and sneered. "I know. And I sure do hope I see them soon, otherwise they won't be able to put up a fight."

Lilith giggled softly. "Who knows? Maybe you won't even need to fight."

Lucifer shrugged. "Only time will tell. I better prepare myself."

Lilith smiled and didn't dwell on it further.

Lith looked at his mother and aunt, who finished their conversation, and said, "The last task is completed. It's time to leave this place."

Lilith nodded. "Yes. You have a lot to tell me."

"Indeed. But before that, let me introduce a few people to you. Two of them are my disciples by the way." Lith smiled and said.

Lucifer raised an eyebrow. "Just yesterday you were training under me and now you have disciples for yourself?"

Lith shrugged. "Fate, I guess. Well, it's a good thing that at least they are getting somewhat of a competent teacher, unlike a certain someone here."

Lith squinted his eyes at Lucifer.

Lucifer narrowed her eyes. "What are you trying to say, lil runt? Say it clearly."

Lith smirked. "Nothing needs to be said more. We all know what I'm implying."

"Hmph!" Lucifer snorted and decided to not bicker with this guy anymore. There were important matters she had to tend to, it was better to leave this world quickly.

Ralph, standing a bit away from Lith, had his eyebrows quiver slightly.

His expressionless face barely showed any emotions, but with this quivering, it indicated how awkward and uncomfortable he was feeling.

Lucifer was his Queen, he should be paying her respects. But, Lith was bickering with her and it felt rude to interject.

The atmosphere was tense and Ralph could only just stand and watch.

With some light-hearted talks, Lith brought the rest to Jenna's place.

Hyunsuk and Shi were there, stuffing themselves with a wide variety of foods.

As Lilith walked inside the hut, surprise flashed within her amethyst purple eyes as she took notice of the Jinx and the Charm.

'What heaven-defying luck does my baby even possess?'
