Chapter 1265: Morningstar Clan Next Generations - End
Meanwhile, Lucitian wore a Chinese tunic, akin to Ip Man. His was dark in color with golden buttons, and when this was added to his demeanor, which was peerlessly arrogant, he made the girls his age see stars in their eyes, swooning helplessly.
Currently, they were in Tsushima, an island near the south of the Shinoka continent. This land was special because it was copied and pasted from ancient Japanese history by the AI, being a place Eva had treated as her backyard.
Draco had his special traits and gains from his various adventures, but Eva had the Shinoka continent. This place had even been slightly invaded by Vita and Umbra, allowing its players to farm its special monsters for special rewards.
Not to mention its special classes had been incorporated into Umbra\'s player base, including the Shrine Maiden class for healing and support, the Samurai class for mid to close-range melee DPS, the Ninja class—which was what Bella previously had, being a long to mid-range rogue class with minor magical ability—and the Onmyoji class, which was a pure long-range magic DPS.
This land took Amaterasu as their Supreme Goddess and had their own Divine Court of beings. Whether these beings were locally generated and rose with the continent or were part of those who fled the Divine Realm at the onset of the Grey Rot invasion was unknown.
What was a fact was that Eva, as an alternate version of Amaterasu, enjoyed the same privileges as the Goddess herself here, especially since the NPC Amaterasu took her as a sister. The other Amaterasu did this because she too was tired of dealing with the continent\'s constant strife and warfare, practically eloping with her lover Tsukuyomi to roam the unmapped zones.
This left Eva and Umbra in charge as a stand-in up until now.
Of course, since she took charge, all that nonsense had come to an end. Now, the continent was developing rapidly under the hands of magitech and peacetime, with many more territories springing up as birth rates soared and standards of living rose crazily.
Now, Shinoka was even a tourist site for some players, especially Japanese nationals who wanted to view how their ancient country looked in a fantasy world. It was a lovely experience for them and one that had caused much growth in Shinoka\'s culture, especially since they were infected by the kawaii/moe culture of their future descendants.
But that was not why Lucitian and Lucitera were here. These two were inseparable since they were mere infants, and there was a significant gap between them and the other children of the Morningstar Clan due to their \'realness\' and their power.

For two brats who had access to the 100% bloodline power of infinite energy along with nominally Eternal-level power from two bloodline trees each, it was natural that they grew even more arrogant than Draco and Eva.
They had always bullied and suppressed Rosella and co, so they were often punished heavily by Eva or Shuangtian. Because of that, they often ran out of the Morningstar World since they couldn\'t be kept, exploring the outside world as they pleased.
This was neither of their first times in the Shinoka continent. Lucitera especially had long visited the place her mother owned and had caused significant trouble here many times while dragging Lucitian along.
They were here today because of rumors that a new civilization had crossed the seas to launch an attack here on Tsushima Isle, and the descriptions of them fit a certain group from Earth\'s history.
The Mongols!
This had caused Eva to furrow her brows with discontent, but in the end, she still informed Shuangtian. After all, the source continent of the Mongols could lead to the Ancient Han people of which Shuangtian was an ethnic descendant.
If Shuangtian could find that continent, and supposing it also had True Gods, she could also unlock her own special backyard in the main plane as Pangu\'s clone. Not to mention it could also open up many avenues for Umbra to dominate, with new materials, resources, and especially new classes!
Thinking about potential classes like cultivation, martial artists, Taoism, demon-suppressing officers, and the like, one could not help but feel giddy!
However, this was wasted on Shuangtian, who was not like the former Evil Duo. They were pure gamers in both timelines, but Shuangtian was more worldly and grounded, trusting more in her own power than what the game provided.
In the end, Eva could only sigh and send the two brats here. Lucitian was not like Shuangtian at all, bearing his father\'s endless greed and need for adventure. The moment he heard about it, the fellow jumped up and was on the mission.
Lucitera was told to stay back by Eva, who wanted this to be a form of tempering for Lucitian. With his 100% bloodline, he was just as invincible as they were except if he met Semi-Origin Gods, but even if so, he had a hundred ways to escape or seek reinforcements from them.
However, Lucitera immediately acted cute and began wheedling Eva, begging to go along with her brother. Naturally, she too inherited Draco\'s love for adventure and especially his love for causing trouble.
Looking at that face, which was 85% her own, and those golden-green eyes belonging to Draco, Eva was easily defeated as she softened. Convincing herself that the two could better protect each other, she sought Shuangtian\'s advice before letting her go along.
The good news was that the strict Shuangtian gave them a good ear pull before they left, telling them that if they dared do anything that caused their father to be disturbed, they would receive punishment from her. Naturally, both children feared Shuangtian\'s might and did not dare to be negligent, even now.
Now here, the two walked towards the Estate of the Lord, which was the ruling leader of this isle. As they got close to the gates, they noticed that the estate was extremely active as messengers, scouts, and military personnel came to and from its premises, likely reporting the war situation and taking orders out to the field.
Lucitian\'s face darkened, and he roared, "Noisy!"
Immediately, he lifted a hand and brought it down at the front of the estate, causing a huge golden palm to manifest in the air and smash down along with his movement. The people below did not even have time to scream before they were smashed into paste, the earth quaking for a few hundred meters in all directions, causing more property damage and many injuries.
Lucitian showed an expression of savage satisfaction but was slapped hard on the back of the head by a furious Lucitera.
Grabbing his head, Lucitian angrily glared at his sister. "What the hell was that for?!"
"What the hell is wrong with you?! This is my mother\'s territory, and these are her people! These are my people! Why did you kill them, you dolt?!" Lucitera almost roared with fury.
Lucitian was embarrassed. "Eh? Oh right, sorry. It was just annoying and loud, so I made it quiet."
Lucitera rubbed her temples and released a wave of creation energy from her bloodline, resurrecting everyone who had been killed while also restoring the damaged lands. Those who came back to life were still pale and somewhat confused, not realizing that they had previously left this world and were luckily brought back.
Immediately, the gates to the estate flung open, and a stately middle-aged Japanese man came out with many retainers, both military and civil, then bowed at the feet of the duo.
"This humble servant, Kazumasa Sakai, greets the Heavenly Children!" The fellow in the lead cried out with utter obeisance.
Lucitera was shocked. "You know us?"
Kazumasa Sakai smiled wryly. "The Supreme Goddess sent a decree down through the shrine maidens containing your portraits, stating that the two of you are Children of the Divine on an important mission and must be facilitated."
Lucitian and Lucitera were left speechless.
Eva was so worried that they would destroy her personal continent that she even sent down this decree ahead of time. Did she think they were destructive little beasts?!
Oh right, they were.
Carry on then.
"You may rise. What is the news from the front about the invaders?" Lucitera took the lead to speak since this was her domain.
The group rose and did not dare look upon the Heavenly Children easily, only Kazumasa being able to since he was a Lord. "Things are not good. Our Samurai\'s Bushido are being heavily suppressed by the so-called Dao of their Martial Artists, while our Onmyoji\'s talismans are being resolved by the strange spells of their cultivators."
Kazumasa shook his head wearily. "The only reason we\'ve held out is that they don\'t place emphasis on healing and defense, so our Shrine Maidens are literally carrying this war for us. We\'ve dispatched many ninjas into their fold, but they are always discovered by this so-called \'Spirit Sense\' of the cultivators, so our losses in terms of espionage are also quite heavy."
His face became ugly. "Meanwhile, their men also possess a horrifying technique called \'Soul Reading,\' which has caused most of our culture, technology, and tactics to be discovered by the enemy with many counters being deployed. Now, we don\'t even dare have any general or military officer near the battlefield, delivering orders directly from my estate."
Lucitian and Lucitera were surprised. It was really that bad? They were not tactical geniuses or military buffs, but nothing they had heard so far sounded like Tsushima stood a chance. After all, the force sent by the Mongols was just an advance party; they had yet to send a real army forward!
Seeing the looks of disdain on the faces of the two youths, Kazumasa smiled bitterly. "Heavenly Children, please do not be discouraged. Tsushima is not a military stronghold, known more for its commercial and tourism. On top of that, the force sent by the Mongolian invaders contains some of the best warriors in the vanguard, leading to a disparity."
Lucitian and Lucitera barely accepted this. Lucitian waved his hand and spoke arrogantly.
"Well, you need not worry about them anymore. Direct us to their location, and we shall make sure they never disturb you again."
His words made the eyes of the group light up. How many days had this war been going on that they prayed day and night for Divine Intervention to no avail?
"Heavenly Children, would you like an escort? If not, the location is <set of geographical coordinates>," Lord Kazumasa offered excitedly.
"Hmm, good. Wait for our good news," Lucitera replied simply, slicing open a hole in space to make a portal for the two of them.
Before she left, she happened to see a young boy who peeked out of the estate to see what his father and all the other military lords were up to. When Lucitera saw the unremarkable lad, she initially wanted to look away, but her golden-green pupils constricted when she saw the fortune cloud above his head.
A plentiful red-gold color, signifying the fortune of a continent-level protagonist!
This boy would grow up to be a dominating person who could alter the fate of the entire Shinoka Continent and possibly more!
Stepping through the portal with her dainty feet, Lucitera made sure to engrave the boy\'s features in her mind and also scoured the brains of those nearby for his name.
Jin Sakai.
