Chapter 144 Beginning of oyakodon...?
[There is nothing, host. That was why you couldn't see what was behind it.]
'Is that really why... I wasn't able to see through?'
[Yes, host.]
This made him think again, if what Seraphina said was true then she talked about there being an even bigger land beside the sect.
'Then why did mother...?'
[She might have made a mistake, don't think toouch about it.]
Evan nodded his head as in response to the system, but the doubt in his mind didn't go away, in fact it was getting much bigger now.
'Alright then. How is the situation with Maria?'
[She is still alive, host. But she seems to be in danger now, she is injured heavily.]
'Is that so?'
[Hmm? You seem rather calm even after knowing that she is in danger.]
'That's because you would have informed me if she was gonna die, beside I know she can't die that easily.'
He then pondered for a while and asked another question to the system.
'Have the tower been cleared up to 50th floor in that world?'
[No, host. The tower is yet to be cleared up to the 50th floor.]
'Hmm... though it hasn't been that long, but the people from that world should have tried to climb the tower till now. I do not know what kind of world that is, whether it is the world of cultivation, magic or technology.'
'Living beings tend to pave a path for them to survive, for humans from my previous world, it was technology, they waged war countless times and became what they are now, and after getting the tower and system, they began a new path for themselves, a path to get supreme strength. The same is true for us demons, from what I understand from mother and Nova, it is strength... infinite strength and godhood is what they strive for. This law of the desire of survival and adaptation is true for all the creatures that isn't limited to a few races.'
'If we go by this, them they should have some means as well to defend themselves and the fact that they haven't cleared 50th floor means that their combat ability is more or less the same as the Earth that was destroyed.'
[Okay... but what are you trying to say from all this?]
Evan leaned his head back on the throne and sighed.
'Nothing... I was just wondering if I need to take people from that world and include them as part of my family.'
[And why is that?]
'Simple, I do not think I can find people with higher potential there.'
[Well, I disagree with you on this, host. People's strength or the place where they reside doesn't show their potential. You are a prime example of that.]
'Are you saying there are people with higher potential?'
[No exactly, but there always remains a possibility that people there will have higher potential. But beside that, aren't you planning something already, host? That's why you need maria, right?]
'Umm, but that plan will take a while and I am not sure if I can include everyone in that plan too. It will be very costly.'
[I understand, host. But let me remind you already, a potion to turn the potential of someone to God-tier costs 1000000000 system points.] Discover hidden stories at empire
Evan looked and counted all the zeros on the systems screen. That did make his reconsider his paln, but he still decided to go with it.
'1 billion, huh? That's fucking too much.'
[Well, it is a God-tier item.]
'Including everyone, I will be needing a total of 5 potions right now. Meaning 5 billion points...'
[5 billion...? Are you still pretending, host. Don't think I don't know why you are trying to add Maria with you. That is only a one time investment for you.]
'Ehh, so you caught on, huh? Not that it matters anyway, but still... that is a heck sum of points.'
[Don't be so petty, host. I told you, you will be having a very good opportunity to earn many points soon.]
'Oh, talking about the points... let me create a new quest for later tonight.'
Ding~
[Quest: Fill the cave of Mizuki and Anna with your holy water.
Reward: breakthrough 3 stages for Anna and Mizuki
Penalty: Devoured by unknown, lost of manhood, turn into a demon]
Seeing more penalties than the rewards, naturally Evan was baffled.
'What the fuck is that?'
[Don't know. The system is the one that gives you the rewards and penalties, I have no involvement in that.]
'The fuck you talking about, aren't you the system?'
[Oh, I am.]
Strange, but Evan didn't push the matter any further.
He had nothing to do anymore and checked what everyone else were doing.
Celestina, Anna and Mizuki were still cultivating deligently, he was glad seeing their progress. None of them were slacking off.
On the other hand, Nova and Lyra were in the arena. Both of them were practicing their combat, where Nova was clearly dominating Lyra.
'Seems they are all doing great.'
He nodded inwardly.
'System, add a function of day and night inside the sect.'
[Well, it do have the concept of day and night. But it is rather slow than what you are beknown with. But I can change that if you really want to.]
'Yeah, do so.'
The system immediately changed the function of day and night in the sect, though it didn't seem like anything was changed.
Soon, the night came. Evan didn't do anything and just stayed in the throne room while checking through all the things that Seraphina got for him. He was still amazed seeing all those rare treasures inside that spatial ring.
'Hmm, finally it's time now.'
He got up form his seat and arrived at the training room, where a completely exhausted Lyra who was gasping and moaning was barely able to stand still and in front of her was her bull... cough* her sparring partner Nova who had a wide smirk on her face.
"You really made me proud, my dear sister. All things aside, you have amazed me countless times today, if we go by this pace, I will make you a formidable warrior pretty soon."
'You have only been thrashing me all day, I don't see why you are calling this training at all.' Lyra thought inwardly, but didn't say it upfront.
She knew what might happen to her if she were to say any of her inner thoughts.
"Hmm, it seems you two are enjoying your time together here." Evan said appearing from behind Nova.
"Big brother..."
"Evan..."
Both of them called out to him and greeted him with a smile.
"It's getting late now, why don't you both go and rest for tonight. There are many rooms here, you can pick anything to your liking."
"Hmm, we will then. Let's go Lyra, your brother has a lot of work to do tonight. We shouldn't disturb him." Nova said to Lyra and pulled her way from there.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Wait... don't drag me..."
Lyra's plea didn't work at all and she got dragged down by Nova.
Evan couldn't do anything but watch as the scene unfolded in front of him.
'She is really jealous, huh? I need to think of something for her too. But it's assuring that her feelings for me hasn't gotten low at all, it is still infinite. I am surprised she hasn't taken any severe step till now. I have a hunch that she has been holding up a lot of her emotions right now.'
He shook his head, sighing exasperatedly. He couldn't do anything than just watch.
He then went to where Celestina and others were at. Without a sense of time, Anna and Celestina were still cultivating there.
"It should be enough for today, you two."
His voice woke them up and both of them opened their eyes at the same time.
Their face lit up and they both called out to him.
"Husband~."
"Daddy~."
"Go and take a rest now. You guys still do not have habit of sitting for so long. Your legs must be tired by now, go and take a rest for a while."
They both nodded and headed for to the bedroom chamber as well. As with Nova and Lyra, Evan also told them to pick a room to their liking.
Now only Mizuki was left, who was cultivating in the medicinal garden.
He swiftly arrived there ans right after he appeared, Mizuki was able to sense his presence and opened her eyes.
"Husband~."
"Your senses are really sharp."
She smiled brightly and responded,
"It wasn't me, these plants growing around me told me about your arrival, so I was able to know it beforehand."
"Still, it's great. You should get up now as well, other have already headed for the bed,let us go now too. I hope you are ready for what's to come tonight."
