My Beast Emperor, Please Wait For My Arrival

"I want to construct a cenotaph for my father." Shao Qian felt that perhaps that high-ranked magic beast was not really unaware. Perhaps, he had simply thought that there would inevitably be one day where he would be able to move this woman's heart, and she would accompany him to calmly pass their days together, that's all. In the end though, this woman was even more malicious then he had thought. Even after he had died, she wasn't kind enough to let go of his child.

"Of course." Towards this never before seen father-in-law, Vincent was very grateful. After all, if he didn't send Jesse to the Illusionary Mist Forest at that time, it was likely that they wouldn't have had the chance to meet.

Shao Qian couldn't find any clothes that the man had originally wore within the house. He could only grab a handful of soil from the courtyard and return to the Illusionary Mist Forest, burying it in the deepest part of the forest. He could only hope that this person would have a chance at reincarnation, and wouldn't encounter such a poisonous creature in his next life.

Refusing the Illusionary Mist Forest's high-ranked magic beasts' urge for him to stay, Shao Qian followed Vincent back to the Illusionary Mist Garrison. He spent a huge amount of money to buy the courtyard that the holy-ranked magic beast had previously resided in and burned it with fire. He could only hope that all the grudges that year, could be burned clean in this manner.

Shao Qian followed Vincent back to the Vatican. On the way there, he asked Vincent a question, "That year when my father self-destructed, perhaps it wasn't that he didn't see through that woman's illusion. Maybe, he wanted to bring the woman down to hell by self-destructing?"

Vincent had merely looked at him, not answering. After a moment had passed, Shao Qian had laughed, ridiculing himself, "I keep thinking of all these unnecessary things. What happened that year has already passed. What's the use of tangling myself up in it?

"Jesse, humans can't just keep looking back. They will live in painful memories their whole lives." Vincent thought for a moment before correcting, "Of course, magic beasts are also the same."

Shao Qian glanced at Vincent. "I'm only being somewhat emotional. Father's infatuation was directed to the wrong demon."

"Everyone's choices aren't the same. Perhaps you saw inevitable death as the ending, but in the eyes of others, it could have been a different outcome?" Vincent turned to looked solemnly at Shao Qian. "I always have a feeling. The kind of feeling where even if we are seperated, I will still be able to find you. The kind of feeling where no matter where you go, I will always be able to recognise you at first sight. This feeling is very strange. It's as if we were destined from the start."

Perhaps he had felt that Shao Qian didn't understand and after thinking again, he continued, "It was like that time when I saw you in the forest for the first time. At that moment, my heart was crying out that it was you — someone that no one could ever replace. If there wasn't you, then I wouldn't be a complete existence."

Hearing these words, Shao Qian had a somewhat dumbfounded expression. After a while, he revealed a smile that looked as if a heavy load had been lifted off him. "Mn, I know."

Mn, I know. This words may seemed plain, but it allowed Shao Qian's heart, which had wandering aimlessly for a long time, to finally have a sense of stability. He didn't know when he had began having a strange feeling of emptiness, always feeling as if he had lost something important. But he wasn't able to figure out what he had lost.

However, upon meeting Song Dao, that feeling seemed to have vanished. Or it could be said that at that time, Song Dao had excessively pestered and stuck onto him, not giving him any superfluous time to allow his imagination run wild. Or it could also be said that right now, Vincent gave him a sense of stability, not letting him feel that he would continue to drift aimlessly.

No matter if it was Song Dao who originally pestered him, or Vincent who gave him a sense of stability now, they both caused him to feel that he had a family — that he wasn't just an endlessly wandering soul in every world.

Shao Qian took the rarely-seen initiative to grab Vincent's hand. "I want to watch you calm the rebellion. I want to watch you pacify the abyss. I want to accompany you… to ascend the divine throne."

Once Shao Qian said that, the sky thundered with a 'boom!', grey clouds rolling over from the horizon. That rapidly approaching tumultuous appearance seemed as if it wanted to devour Shao Qian and Vincent.

As if not sensing the abnormality in the sky, Vincent knelt on one leg before Shao Qian, placing his right hand on his chest as he raised his smiling face up towards Shao Qian. "I shall do your bidding, my Beast Emperor."

A bolt of lightning struck next to Vincent's foot. However, the person who had been warned didn't seem to care.

Shao Qian grabbed Vincent's right hand and pulled him away." God has declared war on us."

"He won't be able to come down." In the last two years, Vincent had already been somewhat aware that he probably had some sort of connection with the Light God. After ascending to become the Pope, he had become even more certain about that possibility. He and the Light God were likely of the same origin.

If it were previously, perhaps he would have still accompanied him to play around for a bit. But now, for the sake of satisfying his Beast Emperor, he couldn't play this senseless game with the Light God. He wanted to give the best of this world to his Beast Emperor.

The following moments, Shao Qian witnessed Vincent completely sweeping the demon world away. And in the end, after weakening the demon world, it would be natural for them to attack the divine world next. With the help of Shao Qian, he even devoured the Light God's Godhead and became the new Light God.

After Vincent assumed the Light God's position, all the shrines in entire continent that were dedicated to the Light God collapsed. However, in the span taken for a few breaths, they resumed a different appearance. A formidable black panther magic beast was half-laid on the divine throne. As for the Light God, who wore a crown and held a scepter, he was actually kneeling down on a leg, holding the panther's forepaw and kissing it.

Shao Qian stayed in this world for a very long time. It was long enough that he eventually forgot that he wasn't a resident of this world. It was only until the demon world rebelled once again. A new leading role swept away the demon world, obtaining the Godhead of darkness and a war was started amongst the shrines…

Shao Qian stood aloft as he watched the war between the angels and the demons happening beneath him. He chuckled, "Vincent, I should leave."

As the Light God, Vincent hugged Shao Qian, burying his head within the other's nape and not speaking. However, Shao Qian was still able to feel the wetness on his neck. Vincent, who had never shed a tear before, was actually crying. This kind of silent weeping caused Shao Qian's heart to ache.

After a long time, Vincent lifted his head up. He planted a kiss on Shao Qian's forehead, pouring the Light God's divine power into his body. "My Beast Emperor, you must wait for me, find me and always accompany me."

"Of course. That goes for you too." Shao Qian removed his soul, and the body that held half a Godhead started to fade. "I don't wish for my godly image to be replaced."

"Of course, my Beast Emperor will stay in the shrine eternally." Vincent's eyes stared unblinkingly at the vanishing Shao Qian. "You will always be believed in and worshipped by the people of this world."

"Remember to find me." Shao Qian's voice just fell when his body completely vanished.

Vincent watched as the person in front of him vanished completely. The completely empty space caused his eyes to sting, a drop of golden blood rolling down from his left eye, slipped over his chin and falling down. It hadn't even reached the clouds before it changed into a golden light."Fake god, I will kill you today for the people of the continent." The handsome man wielding the Godhead of darkness wore a pleased expression. Standing behind him, several women looked at Vincent with hate-filled eyes. It was this fake god that received the people's worship, yet didn't care about the people. They must definitely kill and behead him today to placate those that had lost their lives in the disaster.

"Scram." Vincent looked hatefully at the people in front of him. If it were not for these people looking for trouble, how could his treasure leave him? They ought to die. This people all ought to die.

The few of them that had previously hooted their horns wanted to rebuke angrily, but realised that their bodies were unable to move, as if they being restrained by something.

Vincent didn't spare them a single glance. He left this place unhurriedly and headed to his temple. He had told his Beast Emperor that he would make his godly image be eternally worshipped and believed in by everyone. Everyone, including him.

The people that had provoked Vincent could only helplessly watch as he left. And the moment he left, they started changing into specks of light and disappearing, beginning from their feet before moving upwards. The feeling of their body and their soul being torn apart, really made them wish to die. Yet, they couldn't make any sounds.

The man that wielded the Godhead of darkness felt very regretful. Why did he have to listen to those woman's enticing and attack the divine world? If he hadn't attacked the divine world, wouldn't he still be able to enjoy a blissful life in his temple of darkness?

He regretted, regretted his past actions and even wanted to open his mouth to beg for forgiveness.

Would Vincent allow these people a chance to beg for forgiveness though? He sealed their tongues, made them speechless, and even more, didn't allow them an easy death.

It wasn't easy. With much difficulty, he had made his Beast Emperor gradually forget about certain things. Yet, it was broken by these people. How could he let them off so easily?

However…

After constantly being with him for so many years, his Beast Emperor had already harmonized with a large portion of his divine power. Therefore, he will follow him, find him and furthermore, accompany him.

His Beast Emperor is very scared of loneliness. How could he let him go to another place alone?

So, my Beast Emperor, please wait for my arrival.
