My Celestial Ascension - Chapter 919 919: A Small Mistake

King Evander and Nerith felt an unbearable burning sensation in their chests, as though an entire mountain had fallen upon them, pressing them into the floor.

‘What the hell is this pressure?! It’s killing me!!’ King Evander screamed inwardly, sweat covering his entire face.

Nerith, on the other hand, was utterly shocked. She had never felt such crushing pressure before. Her entire body trembled violently, her expression turning pale as she felt as though she stood at death’s door.

‘Just how powerful are these women to exude such terrifying pressure?! This is too much for me to bear…’ she thought while gritting her teeth in pain.

“You have no right to compare us with those lowly creatures! Don’t you dare liken us to such half-humans!” Xi Meili spoke, her voice laced with anger and unmistakable disdain.

As a Divine Beast bearing the lineage of the Primordial Chaos Dragon, her pride was unmatched in the world.

By comparing her to a mere half-human creature, both Princess Nerith and King Evander had committed a grave offense.

The same applied to Fang Xiaoyan and Long Yuyan. Both of them were Divine Beasts as well, and being compared to demi-humans had provoked their fury.

“We are Divine Beasts… to compare us to lowly half-humans is a kind of disrespect we cannot tolerate. It is humiliation in our eyes,” Long Yuyan spoke, her sharp gaze filled with rage.

“Since you two were unaware of this, we will let it slide for now. However… there will never be a next time,” Fang Xiaoyan said with a dangerous glint in her eyes, a powerful killing intent bursting forth.

The moment King Evander and Nerith sensed it, their bodies froze and their faces turned deathly pale, as if their souls had already left them.

‘What is this feeling?! It’s so intense and overwhelming!! If this continues, I’ll die at any moment!’ the Vampire King screamed inwardly, his entire body turning cold as sweat poured down his back.

The same was happening to Princess Nerith. Her body went cold, her face drained of color as though she were already standing on the edge of death.

Suddenly, the pressure and killing intent vanished completely, and relief washed over them as they were finally able to breathe again.

‘Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! Just who are these people? Divine Beasts? What are those?!’

Countless questions arose in both Nerith’s and Evander’s minds, leaving them even more confused about the origins of the three women.

“Calm down, you three… there is no need to get so worked up about this. They simply do not know much about the world,” Yuan said with a soft sigh, resting his hands on Xi Meili’s and Fang Xiaoyan’s shoulders, which immediately calmed them.

He then looked at Nerith and Evander and added, “I apologize for their behavior just now. I hope you don’t mind, since no one was harmed.”

“I-It’s fine, since we were the ones who asked that question. I won’t take offense,” King Evander said after a deep sigh, trying to steady his mind.

“Me too…” Nerith spoke in a weak voice, still terrified, unable to look directly at Xi Meili, Fang Xiaoyan, and Long Yuyan.

After calming herself, she gradually returned to normal and looked at Yuan with a deeply puzzled expression. As much as she feared the three women, she was also intensely curious about them.

Yuan took a deep breath and spoke, “Since you’re so curious to know, I’ll indulge the two of you for a while. I hope you will be satisfied.”

With that, he began explaining, “Divine Beasts are creatures with immensely powerful bloodlines—god-like beings. They stand at the very peak of existence with unmatched strength and power, and they possess incredibly long lifespans.”

“A few thousand years mean nothing to them. To put it into perspective, a few hundred years for them would feel like only a few months. They are far beyond your imagination and comprehension.”

“Also, they can take on human form despite being beasts. And when they assume a human form, their internal organs and bodily structure change as well—everything except their dantian.”

“The dantian of a human and that of a beast are fundamentally different. An expert can easily tell whether someone is a beast or a human with just a single glance,” Yuan explained calmly.

Both King Evander and Nerith looked at Yuan with dumbfounded expressions. They could hardly believe what they were hearing; it was beyond their wildest imagination.

“Xi Meili here is a Dragon—not just any Dragon. She is a Primordial Dragon,” Yuan revealed, shocking both Nerith and Evander.

He then turned to Fang Xiaoyan and Long Yuyan and continued, “As for Fang Xiaoyan, she is a Phoenix—a Primordial Phoenix, to be exact. And Lady Long Yuyan is also a dragon, an Azure Dragon.”

“So, it would be best not to offend them. I can restrain Fang Xiaoyan and Xi Meili, considering they are my wives,” Yuan paused briefly before adding, “However, I cannot restrain Lady Yuyan.”

“I-I understand…” King Evander replied in a trembling voice, sweat forming across his brow.

After learning that three such powerful beings were present in the room, his face had turned pale with concern.

“It’s fine. There is no need to fear me. I am not some mindless creature who kills for pleasure. Be at ease—unless someone provokes me, I will not act against them,” Long Yuyan said with a soft chuckle.

A few minutes later, King Evander excused himself and left the room.

Having learned of the dire situation at the border, his concern for the safety of his people weighed heavily on his mind. He immediately decided to summon all the nobles for an emergency meeting.

“Butler Sebastian, go and inform all the vampire nobles of my kingdom to come to the castle immediately. An urgent matter has arisen that concerns the safety of the kingdom,” King Evander instructed firmly, his eyes restless with worry.

“I understand, Your Majesty. I will convey the message to all the Noble Houses at once,” Butler Sebastian bowed professionally and departed.

Once the butler left, King Evander gazed up at the stars and muttered in a low voice,

“Very soon… the situation will descend into chaos… The appearance of humans after a thousand years… is it a good omen, or a harbinger of something worse?”

Within a short time, all the noble houses received the King’s summons to the castle. They did not delay and immediately set out for the palace.

Since the King had called them so urgently, something truly grave must be unfolding. They all knew he would never summon them without reason—especially not unless something disastrous was about to happen.
