Ralph answered what Lith had asked him.

He was bringing over his mother, butler, and a few people he was close with like his harem members.

Dennis in the meantime got up after struggling hard and somehow managed to come back to the couch and lay there like a log.

"Whom are you bringing to the celebrations Dennis? And what do you suggest for the venue?" Lith asked him as well.

Dennis, in his half-dead state, said, "phaa-ugh-mli"

Dennis seemed like a gone case so Lith and Ralph ignored him and continued to talk with each other.

"For the venue, I have nothing to suggest in this." Ralph shook his head and said. "I am fine with wherever."

"Then how about some exotic tropical island?" Lith asked.

Ralph thought about it and asked, "will there be any private rooms or places?"

Ralph asked this because this was a celebration and he didn't trust his mother. She could openly have sex with him for all he knew and he wanted to avoid it at all costs.

Lith chuckled. "Of course. There will be caves placed at quite a bit of distance from each other."

"It's fine by me then." Ralph gave his confirmation.

"Sweet. We'll have our party at a mermaid island between the Vampire and the Demon Continent."

Ralph agreed and the venue was decided without Dennis's opinion.

The two then talked for a bit on what the decorations should be, food should be, and so on.

Dennis joined them mid conversation and gave his opinion as well.

Once they were done discussing these things, Lith talked a bit about the anime related things and told the two that they should start making merchandise related to the shows already.

They could also hire the fans with creative and great ideas for merchandise and pay them royalties.

Once business discussions were done, the three parted ways.

Lith went home and sat in the courtyard, planning a few things.

His mother and sister were once again busy with administration related things.

Things had become hectic as a lot of gates had been opened up and creatures were appearing one after another.

All the nobles were busy managing it and for the first time, they had to rely on the Royal Family as well.

Lucy's judgement mattered on a lot of things such as whether they should send people to explore the gates, kill the creatures from the gates, capture them or make peace with them and send diplomats into various other worlds.

Lucy's schedule was tight and she was really busy.

She wasn't half a million years old like her mother. She was not even one percent the age of her mother and was really young and inexperienced when it came to such matters.

Still, Lucy was trying her best as the Queen and her mental fortitude as well as her attainment in a lot of things was rising with each hardship she would go through.

Lilith was there helping her cope up. She would advice her from time to time and show her the correct path without directly involving herself in it and doing things in Lucy's stead.

Lilith had stopped being the Queen, but she hadn't actually retired from this occupation.

She was now the mother of the current Queen and the Supreme ruler of not just the Vampire Continent, but the entire world.

Lith had his own things to do while his mother and sister were busy with their things.

Lith was sitting in the courtyard, there was tea at the table and he was alone, planning out a few things.

'I've relaxed for quite some time after I woke up. I need to cultivate.' Lith thought while writing a few things in a book with a pen.

His cultivation required him to sleep with women of higher rank than him. He had to cultivate with their Yin essence and as he grew stronger, he could give the women he knew his Yang essence and have them cultivate through it.

Cultivation was a long journey and asked him to be in seclusion for quite a stretch of time in one go.

There were other methods to ascend and that was to find possible treasures and resources that could help him.

Lith now knew there was a God rank called Legendary Rank.

From the knowledge he had, Legendary may not be the only God rank. If there was more and his world didn't have any, it spelled doom.

Lith didn't want to be at the mercy of any one, no matter the cost.

Now that there seemed to be a way to connect to other worlds, Lith wanted to ascend as quickly as possible so that he could venture out, find resources, get stronger, and protect this world he was in and continue to keep it peaceful.

When Lith met the Grand Lust Sovereign's remnant will, even though the will gave subtle hints, Lith could guess that there was some rank that was above even the Gods which the Lust Sovereign had failed to achieve.

Lith's priority now lay in meeting the Lust Sovereign so that he could have a chat with him about it.

However, Lith knew he had to have a strong background behind him if he wanted to see him.

The Lust Sovereign wouldn't just entertain him if he was a puny cannon fodder.

Lith may be a Prince in this world and a major authority, when it came to the bigger picture, the universe, he was nothing more than a speck of dust.

Lith HAD to ascend as fast as he could and as quietly as he could.

Everytime he tried to ascend, some or the other mishap had happened for some reason, alerting many.

Lith didn't want any more of this and wanted to keep things quiet.

Whatever the case, he had his ladies with whom he could dual cultivate.

They were his biggest resources.

There was at least one lady Lith knew in every realm till Legendary Rank.

Once this birthday celebration was over, he would go into seclusion with Alea and cultivate until he ascended to Half King Rank.

He would also take Alexandra with him and help her ascend faster as well.

Lith didn't want his ladies to be left behind and wanted to see them get stronger as well.

He didn't want a clich situation where enemies come knocking at his doorstep, touch his wife, and a whole fucking fiasco unfolds.

Lith was well aware of the fact that he wouldn't be present to save his wives at all times. They had to be strong enough to save themselves.

Lith was thus ready to invest time and effort to make them as well himself strong as fuck.

With determination and proper planning, Lith was ready to start another chapter in his life.

He closed the book and took a deep breath while closing his eyes.

Opening his eyes again, seriousness flashed within it and Lith said softly,

"I gave up the thought of world domination when I learnt my mother was an authority. But now, there's an entire universe which contains threats from which even Gods aren't safe."
