Chapter 8: The First Arrow Starts the Battle—translated by lucathia (proofread by Xuan & elisa)

Shooting Star and Saiximili had no idea that they had just missed Alan by a hair. They were in a rush to return to White Feather Nation. However, on their way back, Saiximili abruptly paused and looked into the distance behind him.

Shooting Star kept running for a bit before he noticed that Saiximili had not followed him. He could only turn back to retrieve him. He glared at Saiximili. If this fellow dared to tell him that he wanted to rest or anything along those lines, he would render His Majesty unconscious with a single punch and then drag the other back by the hand. In any case, the only important thing about this guy was his hands. Every other place on him could be dragged across the ground with no problem whatsoever!

“The Sinner of Pride has been born.” Saiximili’s gaze was distant as he looked far away.

Huh? Shooting Star scrutinized Saiximili’s very vacant expression. His voice was enigmatic too. Could this be the real starseer mode?

The Stone of Pride has also appeared? Pride sounds difficult… Thinking of that, Shooting Star’s expression suddenly turned a bit strange. “Wait a minute! Don’t tell me that the Sinner of Pride you’re talking about is Alan?”

Saiximili woke up from starseer mode and nodded. “It is exactly that blue star.”

“Ahhhh, it really is Alan! We’re in deep trouble!” Shooting Star wailed, “That guy’s lightning magic was already off the charts, and now he even has a Stone of Sin. Sob, sob, sob! He’s gonna put me on a tight leash. This won’t do!”

GOD V3C7: Misfortune

Chapter 7: Misfortune—translated by lucathia (proofread by Mangomochi & Xuan)

“Let’s go. Take me flying. Let’s go and find Alan together.”

Shooting Star commanded the king without any qualms. This guy Saimi was his starseer after all, who was even depending on Shooting Star to fight his war… All right, so it was Dan that Saimi depended on, but in any case, Dan was Xiao Bai’s, and Xiao Bai was Shooting Star’s, so that meant His Majesty was his!

Whether or not it was logical, Shooting Star already considered the king with fair fingers among the ranks of his pets.

However, a solemn expression actually appeared on Saiximili’s face. He shook his head in refusal. “No, you must not leave to seek the blue star. He must find his own path. Only then will he discover the path back to your side!”

Shooting Star frowned, feeling that something was off. He took measure of the king who was sitting properly and narrowed his eyes. “You’re lying!”

“…I am clearly not,” the king responded mildly.

“You definitely are!” Shooting Star claimed with great certainty, “Every time you tell a prophecy, you always appear like your soul has left your body, yet you have a serious expression this time. You’re definitely lying to me! You just can’t be bothered with searching for Alan, right?”

GOD V3C6: The Blue Star, Part Two

Chapter 6: The Blue Star, Part Two—translated by lucathia (proofread by Melissa & Xuan)

The elf was quietly perched on a tree. Even if one were to peer closely, he would not easily be spotted.

Alan was currently stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Even though he had ultimately decided to return and search for Shooting Star and company, he did not know where the avian village they wanted to find was located. He could only return to seek information in the beast village where they had stayed.

By the time he had hurriedly rushed back to the village from the forest he had been in, it was already the next night. The starry sky that night was particularly resplendent. As a moon elf who loved to dance under the starry sky, Alan would have found a beautiful field of grass to dance in to his heart’s content, if not for the fact that he was in a hurry to return to his companions’ side.

The moment he approached the village, the vigilant elf felt that something wasn’t right. The beast village had originally been peaceful, yet a harsh, withering atmosphere seemed to envelop it now. Seeing that the situation didn’t feel right, Alan did not dare to enter the village. He could only hide in the forest on the edge of the village, awaiting his opportunity.

“An army?”

Alan’s pupils abruptly shrank. He backed up a step, hiding his figure even more thoroughly.

On the narrow path leading to the village, the fully-armed beast army could only advance in three to four filed lines. This caused the army to stretch into a very long line. Even with the elf’s superb eyesight, he could not make out the end of the line. The army slowly advanced to a grassy plain near the village, with only a few among them entering the village proper.

Chapter 6: The Blue Star, Part One—translated by lucathia (proofread by Trespasserby)

“I don’t approve of participating in the battle.”

Dan said it bluntly, without a care that Saiximili, who had brought up the request, was also present.

Saiximili, however, did not seem to mind at all. Although he was unable to learn of the exact future, as a starseer, he knew which people were the ones who could truly affect destiny’s tracks. Dan was not among those who would guide destiny.

“But not fighting isn’t an option. I want his hands!” Shooting Star brashly gestured at the hands.

Dan frowned and looked at Bai Saya, who didn’t have a very insistent expression. Relieved, Dan said without holding back, “You don’t know anything about how to fight a battle. Your only use in the battle would be joining the battle yourself and fighting. Even if all three of us joined the battle, in terms of a war, that’s merely throwing three pebbles into a lake. We wouldn’t make much of a difference.”

“Who says?! I can be the commander!” Shooting Star lifted his chin, his face indicating that he didn’t want to be some soldier.

Dan demanded, “You know how to guard a city? Do you know what siege equipment the opponents will have? How many soldiers? What kind of soldiers? Do you know how tall the walls of White Feather are? Even when we first entered the city, you never paid any attention to how unusual the width of the bailey was between the inner and outer curtain walls. Am I right?”

GOD V3C5: Saiximili

Chapter 5: Saiximili—translated by lucathia (proofread by elisa)

“Xiao Bai, can you be any more ridiculous? You fell in the ocean and got snatched by a dragon; you had your hand cut by a letter opener and got involved with the end of the world; you picked up an egg by the roadside and got a princess in return?! You’re basically a magnet for trouble. You are not allowed to randomly pick things up, touch them, or even look at them!”

Shooting Star was carrying Yaya as he glared at Bai Saya. The latter could only smile wryly. He was quite unwilling himself, but how was he to know that trouble would keep finding him?

Yaya strongly wished to tug on Shooting Star’s furry ears, causing Shooting Star to really want to pinch her cheeks into an apple red. But no matter how daring he was, Shooting Star would not dare to bully a princess in front of her own bodyguards.

In fact, he could not even toss the little angel at Bai Saya like he usually did whenever he got tired of playing with her. Avian Agid was stubbornly unwilling to allow their princess to be held by a “despicable human” and a “heartless demon.”

“I am so sorry. Dan is just a heartless half demon, while I am a full one!” Shooting Star could not help but mutter under his breath. Then, he took the chance to pinch Yaya’s little butt, warning her to stop wiggling around.

“Wah… Bzz bzz!” Yaya’s butt smarted in pain, and her mouth turned downward; however, instead of crying, she used “bzz bzz” to threaten Shooting Star.

“Ugh!”
