Year 43 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Lynn house

(Yue POV)

We sat on a wooden bench on the terrace.

“It became a really big thing“ Tang

We have a great view of the Holy land with the statue of the goddesses in the background.

Houses, streets, water tanks, children blowing kites, adults carrying food, etc.

“It really did, when we arrived this place was just a green meadow“ Yue

An empty space with nothing inside.

“And now it is a great cradle of life“ Tang

Different from a cultivator city, Guards patrol the streets and people respect each other without any kind of class difference.

The new generation cant even imagine what was to live in a lawless community.

“Everything changed for good“ Tang

“Yeah, these are good times“ Yue

Memories invade my mind.

Year 13 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Alaslamia clinic

“I came as fast as I could, how is the baby?“ Yue

On top of a bed there was the witch.

“Babies, they are two of them“ Shaolan

“!!!“ Yue

Twins?

“Congratulations!“ Yue

“Yeah, now I can do twice as many experiments of what I expected“ Shaolan

“...“ Yue

“...“ Shaolan

“I already told you before, your jokes need work“ Yue

“I think they are fine“ Shaolan

No, they aren't.

“So, where are they?“ Yue

“Usain and Qianxun are looking after them in the incubator room, I will show you the way“ Shaolan

I grab her shoulder before she does anything.

“Nope, if Qianxun let you in a bed is because you need to rest“ Yue

I may need to use the Water Manipulation.

In that half year of pregnancy, Shaolan was really worried that her poisoned body would hurt them.

Fortunately, the children inherited a tolerance to the poison from their parents and, although they were premature babies, the medical technology of this kingdom was able to help them.

“And it seems that we aren't the only ones to change“ Tang

“It keeps happening?“ Yue

The Flora and fauna of this continent became weird after the cultivators disappeared.

Grass became harder, trees started giving fruits that recovered a little of MP, and some plants began to defend themselves.

Animals started using mana instead of spirit energy. Different to the spiritual creatures, some of them are harmless and only eats plants.

“Some people are thinking of taming them“ Tang

“Seriously?“ Yue

“Seriously“ Tang

Year 31 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Lynn house

(Tang POV)

“Dad, Why?!“ Benjamin

He questioned me as soon as he crossed the front door of the house.

“Why what?“ Tang

I stopped eating my sandwich and looked at him.

“Why didn't you run for king?!“ Benjamin

“Ah, that“ Tang

I leave the sandwich on a table.

“Did you think that I couldn't win against you?“ Benjamin

Those aren't the words of a future king.

“The world doesn't revolve around you, my decision didn't have anything to do with you“ Tang

I reply in a cold tone.

“Then why? You still have one term!“ Benjamin

“Benjamin“ Tang

I sit on the couch.

“Just because I can, it doesn't mean that I should“ Tang

“?“ Benjamin

“I've done everything I could think of for this kingdom, more terms are useless to me“ Tang

“How... How could you say such things! are you giving up?!“ Benjamin

Giving up?

“Wasn't you the one that always told Hikari and me that the human have unlimited possibilities?!“ Benjamin

“Being a king isn't about winning a term, it is about thinking about the best for everyone“ Tang

“...“ Benjamin

“I could have been a good king, but that is it. I don't have anything more to offer to this land, only my prejudices of the past“ Tang

“Prejudices of the past?“ Benjamin

“I was born in a world where demons killed each other without any real reason, just to have fun. I was in the front line of those events, as a poor bodyguard that could only move as told“ Tang

“...“ Benjamin

“When I see them abandoning their cultivation to joining our land, those memories always come out of the depths of my mind“ Tang

“But the fact that they abandoned their cultivation make it clear they didn't live a demonic life“ Benjamin

“Exactly that is my point, Your mind can see the things clear. That is the kind of people that needs to be king, people that live in the present world“ Tang

“A new era needs new people...“ Benjamin

“...Nobody should govern forever“ Tang

These were Master Linjian's words when he explained the king's terms to the people.

“The new generations are a blank canvas that is painted with the best memories of the past and the innovations of the present“ Tang

“...I understood“ Benjamin

I get up from the couch.

“Don't worry, I will continue to defend this kingdom as a commander“ Tang

It was the right decision, it has not disappointed me.

“?“ Yue

I rest my head on Yue's lap.

“Tang, we are no longer newlyweds“ Yue

“Oh? but I love you more every day that passes“ Tang

“Don't be cheesy“ Yue

“...“ Tang

“...I love too“ Yue

She caresses my forehead.

Year 43 of the Human Calendar - West wall of the Holy Land of Xue - West gate

(Qianshan Seong POV)

I couldn't believe my eyes.

“What...“ Qianshan

A fifty meter tall aura was approaching the kingdom from the west.

“What is he doing here?!“ Qianshan

“...“ Wall guards

Not even my fellow guards could believe it as fear filled their faces.

“Sound the alarm and set off the special fireworks signals!!“ Qianshan

The blurry aura is...

Colorless.
