Meanwhile, as Rose came to terms with her current predicament, Takashi stood silently within the void as he gazed at a woman's silhouette in the distance as she practiced.
Amid a starry mist of nebula just below a pulsating prism that flashed with an assortment of colors that represented a multitude of different Laws, Concepts, and Elements within the Cosmos. Which was vaguely helping her refine her physique and deepen her understanding of the various building blocks within our world.
"So, what brings the infamous System God to this humble one's training grounds on this lovely day?" Stella asked as she stopped training and turned around to face Takashi.
"I'm not capable enough to bear the weight of that title, my milady, so please do refrain from calling me as such," Takashi stated as he bowed his head.
"If you say so, Takashi... so what brings you here today?" asked Stella as she walked out of the nebula and tapped the air conjuring a table, two chairs, and some tea along with pastries for them to enjoy.
"Thanks, but I am but a lowly servant tasked with the duty of informing her Highness of the events occurring in the lower realms. So, there is no need for such a treatment," Takashi stated before asking a question that has always been on his mind, "Your Highness with due respect, why do you show such interest in the lower realms?"
"Sigh, well it is a long story but to sum it up, I am waiting for someone… however, who or what that person is I do not know. So please do continue spying on the lower realms for me, messenger."
"Will do your Highness, however, with the recent campaign of Daybreak about to occur and the internals getting ready to launch a war on the lower realms. There isn't much to report except for the fact that Xavier Asterix has broken free of the restrictions placed upon him by Gaia."
"Hmm, so the fabled Creator of humankind and last descendant of the Soul race, is finally free, huh? Truly, just how crazy is this era bound to be," Stella muttered as she closed her eyes for a bit before reopening them, "Okay, I'll relay the message to my master, and please do tell Rose, I am sorry I won't be able to attend the wedding."
She exclaimed as she waved her hand shooing Takashi away, while placing everything she took out back into her storage ring.
"She'll understand you don't have to beat yourself up about it, but I still do hope you will be able to attend it as it has been postponed until further notice," Takashi said before disappearing.
Ten minutes later
"So, what do you want now, my disciple," asked Elizabeth after her disciple told her to come quickly to her training realm.
"Sorry, but I think you're going to want to hear this..." Stella said as she began telling her master everything Takashi informed her along with the changes she noticed with the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
"Hmm, truly an era of misfortune…. Haha, but for now just focus on trying to become Immortalized Stella as the game has only just begun, my precious." Elizabeth uttered before walking away and returning to her domain.

Two days later…
[5...4...3...2....1!!!]
[Happy Birthday! Now wake the fuck up Sleepy Head as we have a lot to talk about so chop, chop...]
"Hmm, what time is it?" asked Rin as he sat up and held his aching head.
[Well, it just turned 12:01 am, why is this too early for you?]
"Naw, but it feels weird as I don't remember the last time, I woke up this early for something bedside when I was... Forget it, so why did the System suddenly shut down and what day is it?" Rin asked as he did not remember it being his birthday yet.
[It's October 18, 5165, and the System Shutdown was a safety protocol so that Xavier would not be able to steal Prototype Genesis X. In case he managed to devour your soul and take control of your body.]
"Damn… so just how long was I out for?" muttered Rin as he yawned.
[I would say 2-3 days at most, due to the transference of your soul leaving and reentering your body.]
"So, Rose besides telling me it's my birthday, what exactly did you wake me up for? As I remember, hearing you had something to tell me," Rin asked as he leaned his head on the headboard of his bed.

Creak. Creak. Creak.
"Sshh! Relax Honey, remember he just woke up, so try and stay calm, okay? We do not want to startle the boy all right?" whispered Adam with excitement as he, himself, could not wait to see their son again.
After, the recent fight yesterday near their territory in the forest of Five Seasons, which forced John to unleash his true cultivation and led to one thing after another happening in succession.
Until the World Spirit intervened and broke everything up, before fighting John who just wanted to drop off Rin and depart. Yet, things did not go as planned as you can see even though in the end everything worked as intended.
Except for Rin returning home in a coma...
