Chapter 2249: 25.139 Lone Black Star - Space Jump
After letting the beast king cub, a sentient anteater, eat all the remains of the dead zergs that were killed by the Ye Caoyun and Ye Qinya just now. After it had eaten enough, it returned to the side of the God of Destruction and let out a yawn as if it had eaten so much that it wanted to sleep to digest it. Seeing its state, Hei Anjing felt bad letting it fall asleep in such an unknown space and picked it up.
The God of Destruction said, "After eating enough, it fell asleep on the spot. This thing is worse than a pig."
"Jing’er, how are you feeling right now? That energy that entered your body, had it affected your soul? No lingering wounds or sequela?" The Sovereign God of Void and Darkness asked.
Lord Hei Anjing smiled and leaned over to his beloved. They whispered, "How about you check it yourself, Husband~?"
Hearing this mischievous, seductive tone of his lover, Ye Xiajie realized that he is being teased by his beloved again. How can a man even ignore the flirting of the person they love? That is simply impossible! The Sovereign God of Void and Darkness was about to pull his wife closer for a hug when he noticed the sleeping third wheel in his wife’s embrace.
The God of Destruction noticed his irritated reaction and chuckled, "There is a child~. What should we do?"
The Sovereign God of Void and Darkness borrowed the power of space from his wife and opened a portal directly to the camp. Maybe because of urgency his control over the space element was quite precise this time and even found the little one’s nanny, the soldier chef who can handle this little one’s tantrums well. After being with the ancestors for days, the soldiers had gotten used to the sudden appearance of space rifts which was mostly used by the first empress whenever he wanted something. Actually, after tasting his cooking the God of Destruction had taken a liking to him and gave him a cooking book of recipes and processes on how to make spirit food. This knowledge was enough to let him become the first spirit chef in this world.
The soldier chef saluted towards the space rift, "How can I help the Lord Ancestor?"
"Take care of this until it wakes up alone. It’s undergoing evolution," said the Sovereign God of Void and Darkness. "We won’t be returning soon. The spaceship of your master is on their way."
Before the little soldier chef can ask for the details, the sleeping sentient anteater was thrown in his arms startling him and the space rift in front of him had disappeared.
"I forgot to ask if they still wanted dinner," the soldier chef murmured.
The voice of the God of Destruction was heard by him saying, [No need for dinner starting today. Just take care of the sleepy piglet in your arms.]
"Yes, Lord Ancestor!" Responded the soldier chef to the voice of Lord Hei Anjing which eventually faded as they had completely left.
After waiting for a while, the soldier chef recognized that the Lord Ancestors were truly gone and sighed in comfort. Talking with the ancestors is nervewrecking. Thankfully, as long as they didn’t meet face to face, he will not stutter as he talks. Then he rubs the fur of the sleeping anteater in his embrace.
He whispers, "How come you seem to have gotten smaller?"
Noticing this the soldier chef just found a basket that fits it and covered it with soft cloth and some cotton before placing the little one in it. Then he carried it away to find the lieutenant within the camp. It can be said that since there is no royalty in the camp to lead them, the one with the highest position in the military was temporarily placed as the leader of this camp. He is the lieutenant that serves the Grand Duke and also the most senior among all soldiers in the area.

At the command center tent...
The soldier cook had asked for an audience and reported about what the two ancestors had just told about. That they will not be returning soon with their usual destination unknown and that the spaceship that is connected to their camp is on their way back.
The Lieutenant with a stern face asked, "Are you sure of this?"
"I am sure, Lieutenant. These are words that the Lord Ancestors said themselves. Also they had left in the first place after hearing the report that the returning royal family members were in danger. Maybe they had saved them? This I don’t know. My current task is to watch over the beast king cub of the Crown Princess. The Lord Ancestor said that it had eaten too much and needed to sleep for a long time to digest it. They said it was about to evolve," said the soldier chef.
The Lieutenant and the other military officers in the tent exclaimed collectively, "EVOLVE?!"
"Can this guy still evolve? But didn’t the crown princess say that it’s already a demigod?"
"Don’t tell me it’s going to evolve into a Beast God!? That will be amazing!"
"If it truly evolved into one then our empire will gain a guardian beast. This is something we can be proud of once the empire has been restored!" The Lieutenant said.
Another soldier said, "It would have been better if we didn’t get invaded and lost. We wouldn’t have lost our home otherwise."
"This is not something that can be blamed on the royal family. With the noble faction causing internal problems in the upper echelons, it wouldn’t be surprising for them to leave behind the empire to escape for their lives leaving only the old emperor and old empress to defend the empire."
"They wouldn’t have lost if they had stayed! Most of them had been eaten, the survivors said. Serves them right!"
The Lieutenant said, "Alright enough talking and return to work."
"Yes, Lieutenant!" The other soldier said before dispersing to continue to their own jobs.
"Thank you for this information you had shared. You may go back now. Our future guardian beast god, we leave him in your care, Chef!"
"I will do it well within my power," the soldier chef before taking his leave.

On the other hand, the situation of the spaceship that had just left their former coordinates using space jump had just passed through the space tunnel route and was moving at the speed faster than light itself. When the space jump was over, they were a few lightyears away from the last location where they had just jumped through space. The shaking that the spaceship had experienced would have affected any beings with below C-grade physique and thankfully that almost everyone on this ship were elites of the elites that the military of the Empire Star had cultivated. A few space jumps wouldn’t affect them much.
If there is someone they are worried about, it is the newlyborn second prince. This little baby had recently been born even so he had inherited his parents good genes having an estimated potential of A-class physique. Moreover, there is the empress and the duchess who had helped in protecting his body during the space jump and were successfully able to pass through the space jump without crying.
In a private room in the Crown Prince’s spaceship, a little baby boy was happily sleeping in his mother’s embrace. During the space jump, the empress had carried the little one in her arms and let her bear most of the shock their space jump had experienced. There is also the duchess seated beside them checking on the little second prince if he got affected by the space suppression and speed they had undergone just now.
The Imperial Empress worriedly asked her son, "Dimei, how is my son?"
"Nothing is wrong. He wasn’t affected by the space jump. This little one might have been born with a powerful physique even before awakening. This is great news for our dynasty!" The Duchess, Lord Mo Jing said. "I wonder how everyone is right now."
"Dimei, if you want to check on the command room you can. Since the space jump is over, the second prince will no longer have to worry about it," said the Imperial Emperor on the next bed beside them.
Because of the space jump just now, if not for the Duchess protecting him he would have definitely suffered internal injuries. However, the physical side effect on him is that he is nauseous. There is nothing Emperor Ye Wang can do about this broken body of his. Because of this even the original S-grade potential of the old emperor had only declined to A-grade. However, this is only because his vitality is injured and needs long recuperation to completely restore his healthy physical strength.
Cough. Cough.
"Husband (Brother-in-law)!" The Imperial Empress and the Duchess called.
The Imperial Emperor said, "Choke on my own saliva. It’s nothing that bad. Dimei, go check on my brother. I had a feeling that things aren’t simple with why this spaceship had suddenly used space jump just now."
"Then Saozi, Brother-in-law, I will excuse myself for now." The duchess said as he left the room to find his husband.
