"You promise?" Uwyn asked again.
"I promise, Uwyn." Eldon nodded his head and as time went by, he was regaining the use of his faculties as it was becoming easier for him to talk normally.
"Pinky swear!" Uwyn replied and raised her pinky finger up towards her father.
"Pinky swear?" Eldon was lost for words but copied the unfamiliar words and repeated it on his own.
"Pinky swear is the most sacred of oaths, father. Let me show you how it's done." Uwyn started.
"First you need to make a fist, then open your right pinky up. Like this."
Maru did not reply with a word but only nodded his head in response."Brother's pet is called Ash, father!" Uwyn offered once more after Ash had graced everyone's vision with his mighty appearance.Though he might be a miniature dragon but nobody would be inspired to caress his body with how ferocious he looked even with his diminutive size.Eldon gazed at the magical beasts in his care and realized just now that every single one of them were silent.They neither moved nor even made audible wheezing sounds that usually accompanied their breathing."They'
Eldon was glad that he was feeling better than anytime he could ever recall since forever.There was strength in his limbs and he could even experience that continued revival of his spirits with every breath that he took.He did not know if it was because of his children or not but he concluded that they were most probably one of the reasons for his rejuvenation."How long has it been since i've last seen the sun and the sky?" Eldon thought as he gazed upon the bright horizon above. It was beautiful. Simply breathtaking! He continued within."We have someone we need to take with us, Uwyn. You'll see once we get there." Maru sm
"I'm Maru and she is my sister, Uwyn. We're happy to see you today, Daisy." said Maru.His heart went out for the child. Her shabby thin dress barely protected her from the elements and even her face seemed gaunt with not enough nutrition into her small body."How about your grandpa? What's his name?" Daisy asked once more and pointed on the distant old man who was accompanied by Fiona and Ash.She was curious about the cute flying creatures and had wanted to approach them for a time and maybe touch them but she was afraid that she might offend them.Her aunt Lily had always reminded her to be wary of her actions towards peopl
It was ineffective but it broke the heart of her father. In the end, Eldon released his daughter and put her down."Aunt Lily!""Brother!" Daisy ran towards her family the moment her feet touched the ground."So shall we?" Maru asked again with a smile."Yes." was all Lily answered because she had no choice but to do it. Her body and voice was controlled by an unseen influence.She had wanted to shout and crawl out of whatever this place was but she concluded that she could not. Lily was like a soul trapped within her own body. Powerless to stop what was
"You two are both strong now and with those magical beasts around, I doubt that anyone would dare bother if you won't let them. But Daisy and Shane are different." Eldon continued."We don't want you in our lives!" Shane shouted. It showed how much he resisted the idea. And Eldon could only shake his head in understanding.He even detested himself for every folly he had done in his life. Elise who had been the mother of this pair was also a great woman. As an attendant of a heroine, she had lived a good life.But when her master had taken notice of their relationship, everything shattered in but an instant.Elise and him were
Each pet flew towards their designated masters and they got acquainted pretty soon after that."What about aunt Lily, brother?" Daisy asked.Her aunt was silent throughout the entire ordeal and would only whisper calming words during their crying outbursts earlier.She loved her aunt even more for that. Aunt Lily was their mother, father, and guardian, all in one person. And Daisy would also want to give her aunt a pet as a present.Although it did not come from her but still, she would have loved that she too, was not excluded from the rest of them."I
Sometimes he would take her to hunt in the forests nearby and take low level magical beasts with them as tokens of their adventure and other times they would only talk about anything under the sun.Olivia was like a teenager all over again. But she was loving their time together and she couldn't wait for what was to come for them."Why did you suddenly open up about your father, Maru. Did you and Uwyn find him?" Olivia asked her son.She looked at her son to gauge Maru’s reaction but all she gathered was the same calm expression on her son's face."Nothing, mom. I'm just curious because you and Sir Evan seem to get along
"No matter what you did in the past, Ezperanza. I doubt that you deserve to be caged in that desolate cage for all of eternity. No one deserves that!At least not a woman who is as kind and as beautiful as you are." Maru uttered sincerely and Ezperanza couldn't help but be moved by the genuine words."Who is she, Maru?" a melodic voice entered into the fray.She was dressed in nature's colors and guise but that did not take away the natural beauty that was hers."She is a friend of mine, Lyra. Her name is Ezperanza." Maru introduced the pair of strangers.
Maru was more than happy to take a break from everything—even from the responsibilities that came with his many wives and his realm-shaking reputation. Escaping into the mortal world for a time was like a breath of fresh air, a rare chance to experience life without the burdens of status and power.As he adjusted to this new identity, Maru sifted through the memories of the young man whose life he now occupied. The memories painted a bleak picture: this young Maru was impoverished, scraping by from a family with little to their name. For someone accustomed to wealth, influence, and resources beyond mortal comprehension, this was, to put it mildly, inconvenient."I’ll have to change that," Maru muttered to himself, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. He strolled down to the nearest gas station, where he purchased a lottery ticket with casual confidence. With a bit of energy concealed within a playful flick of his finger, he ensured that fate would work in his favor. A week la
A trillion years had passed, and Maru had truly ascended to the highest plane of existence, becoming the undisputed master of the multiverse. He had mastered every grand dao, and his name was whispered across countless realms as the supreme ruler.The laws of reality bent to his will, and even the flow of time itself was nothing more than a tool for his amusement.The past, present, and future were his to shape as he saw fit, and the myriad daos—once elusive and untamable forces—had become his loyal servants, bowing at his feet.No corner of existence was beyond his reach. Universes rose and fell on his whims, stars burned bright and were extinguished with a mere thought, and entire civilizations either flourished or crumbled at his command.Maru's power was absolute, his authority unmatched, and yet, after countless eons of this existence, he found himself feeling something he had not anticipated—boredom.He had seen it all, lived through it all. Every challenge the multiverse had to
In a mystical world within the body of an immortal, a great ruckus was happening. “Master! It has appeared once again!” A good disciple knelt on the floor. He prostrated before his teacher which had given him his everything in short. This very man had saved him in the past and until this day, he has not forgotten his pledge of allegiance and service to this person. The disciple was content in doing so. He had no ambitions for himself, only to the happiness of his benefactor. To call him a slave was much more fitting than a disciple in this day and age. “Gather all your brothers and sisters. We shall go at once.” An aged man answered with a serious face on him. He was old and full of wrinkles. His age almost to the limit of what could be achieved with his cultivation base. Nevertheless, the majesty of his stance was a perfect picture of what a true powerhouse truly was. This man had been alive on this world for more than one thousand years already. It was both an accomplishment i
“Speak.” An old dying voice replied. His body seemed ancient alongside the timeless aspect of his voice. Perhaps the only consolation that could be found on him today was the quality of his cultivators robes. At first glance alone, anybody that has eyes could easily determine that it was not made of poor materials at all. This old man was of course the master of Dragon Conqueror Pavilion. “There was a group of people looking a specific cultivation manual earlier, master. They wanted Soul Birth Realm training scrolls.” Kong Jin reported. She knew that the implications of her words would not be lost on his smart master. And indeed it was not. “DING!” The old man opened his eyes and one could notice the blazing fire in them. The atmosphere in the room immediately surged up and this has made the beautiful Kong Jin tremble in place. But reaction was not out of fear but surprisingly because of her extreme excitement. Thousands of sexy ladies like her dreamed to hug the thick thigh of t
The team arrived into the city of Aren way more than just 3 days. In fact, it took them almost 1 week before they saw the mighty gates that protected the place.But after the initial excitement, Maru and company was not anymore harassed by anyone on the road.It appeared like news has traveled fast about the demise and fall of one very strong Core Origin Realm at the hands of our very own protagonist.The weary adventurers got inside the city of Aren and enjoyed a well deserved rest thereafter.Ye Lim went to sell the extra items they got off the loot while Maru was already busy thinking ahead. He was not one to waste his time at all.“I want you to gather information about a cultivation technique for Soul Birth Realm Culti
“HAHAHA! I’ve been alive on this world for hundreds of years and had seen smart tongues like you in legion. I will enjoy watching you suffer in pain, dumb young maggot.”The newly arrived Core Origin Realm Cultivator promised darkly unto our very own protagonist. Maru took this threat in silence.He would of course not waste his breath upon somebody who did not heed his advice from the start.“Kill every single one of them but leave the foolish young master alive.” The Core Origin Realm Cultivator instructed his minions.“Hehehe. You can count on us, master!” The band of robbers replied in chorus.“DING!” Alas, a sudden change came before anyone could move from this point forward.“AHHHHHHHHHH!” A pillar
“Please take care on your way, Hong’er.” Ye Hanya said unto her son.Even though she knew that Ye Hong was already more than capable enough of taking care of himself but it was always a mother’s job to worry for her young one.She really could not be blamed for that at all.“I will, mom.” Maru smiled at his mother. He then looked at Ye Jia and nodded at his old man.The latter was a lot more confident and composed than Ye Hanya and it could be seen from this act alone on how Ye Jia became the Patriarch of Ye after all these years.His strong character was only the least of his myriad qualities. “Let’s go, Yin Lan.” Maru called and before long, a beautiful woman p
Maru arrived at the Ye domains. At once glance, he could see that there were more people inside it than when he left. It was obvious that there were more homeless and poor citizens of Whitecrest who chose to seek refuge in the clan. His parents Ye Jia and Ye Hanya knew of their son’s heart and thus gladly accepted to feed and give shelter to these people. From the initial 1,000 hapless souls, the count had already five fold at this time. Fortunately for all, the expense of having these families was too insignificant for the rich Ye family. But if these 5,000 men, women, and children were to be cultivated then that was a whole nother matter entirely. Resources like spirit stones were extremely limited even for a big clan like the Ye. “It’s been two long years, huh?” Maru smiled and began walking in slow steps towards the large
A year passed in no time. Maru remained seated in the void and continued to refine the extreme power of the sun.He needed no more physical supplements like food in order to survive since what sustained a Soul Birth Realm Expert was the natural panacea for the soul.These priceless treasures may be found in divine lands or they could be artificially nurtured through the creation of magical pills.Thus, the times when our restless traveler would devour several tables of food was already long gone into the past.“BANG!”999,997th Stage of Soul Birth Realm!“BANG!”999,998th Stage of Soul Birth Realm!“BANG!”
