While Julia was preoccupied with her new beliefs, Del, who had finally regained clarity, began to analyze the events that had just happened.
Del easily realized that Kylia was the fate companion given to him by Gaia. Three years ago, he feel that the Fate Companion string was connected to him. He thought that this was a form of goodwill shown by Gaia so that it would be easier to negotiate with him.
If Del took the woman created by Gaia as his Dao Companion, then he and Gaia would be connected by karma, and whether he liked it or not, he would have to pay good karma to Gaia. The good karma could be paid in several ways, like by protecting this universe from attacks by the asuras or by advancing the civilization of this universe with his knowledge of cultivation.
Whatever it was, it didn't matter because he had also decided to live in this universe for a long time. At least until he could surpass the Immortal Paragon realm, because, after that, Del wouldn't have to care about the Gaia universe anymore.
But Del never thought that Gaia would be able to create a woman as perfect as Kylia.
The Dao Companion and the Fate Companion were two different things.
Even if a cultivator had a fate companion, he would not necessarily choose that partner to be a Dao Companion. The stronger a cultivator was, the more they were able to control their own fate. Because cultivation itself was a struggle against fate.
Just as a human mortal was destined to die, a cultivator would be able to delay their time of death.
That's why Del was not afraid of Gaia giving him a fate companion. He was confident that with his physical and mental strength, he would be able to control himself and choose his own Dao companion.
He believed that he would not be easily swayed by his body's biological lust because his goal was to enjoy his life now that he had been released from the universe's curse. That's why Del would create the greatest harem in this world with an uncountable number of fairies.
But what he thought was delicious meat turned out to be a honey-soaked leash.
Even now, he was unable to look away from Kylia's golden eyes. He was so immersed in her eyes that he was powerless against them.
'Gaia!!!!'
[Ding!]
[Does Host want to find information?]
'Fuck you!! What kind of creature did you create?
[The System doesn't understand what Host means; please clarify the details of the question: does Host want to know what creatures Gaia is currently creating?]
'Stop playing around!' 'Shit! Calm down, Del. Don't be agitated... You are an ex-immortal paragon; everyone will laugh at you if you are flustered by a mortal woman.'
Del calmed his heart, which was still beating fast, but alas his efforts failed. He was once again frustrated with his weak body which easily got out of control.
Del used his soul power to split his mind into two: one part of his mind thought about Kylia while the other thought about all the trouble she could cause. This way, Del could escape Kylia's cuteness control and think more clearly.
"First, what is the percentage of my compatibility with Kylia?" "Exchange all the information about the Foundation Establishment cultivation arts for points!"
Before the system could tell him that the points weren't enough, Del exchanged all the Foundation Establishment cultivation arts for points. He knew that the information he wanted was very specific, so it would cost a lot of points.
[Host and Kylia have 99.90348238478273282342% compatibility.]
'What the fuck!! How?'
[The system doesn't understand what Host means; please clarify the details of the question.]
"How is our compatibility that high?"
Del and Kylia had a 99.9% match, this was something Del had never heard of and he didn't know that this was possible either. The highest compatibility percentage Del knew of was 80%, and the Fate Companion pair would go crazy when they were just one thumb apart.
However, the percentage of compatibility between Del and Kylia was nearly 20% higher than that, and only less than one decimal point remained to indicate that they were the same person.
Every living being was a separate entity, especially humans, which even in the Dao itself was unique. It was impossible in this world for something to be the same as there had to be a difference.
[Host and Kylia have reached 99.90348238478273282342% compatibility because both of your physiques match each other.]
"Mine and Kylia's physiques? What the hell? It's the Ayam Cemani Body Again?"
Del had tried to find out about the Ayam Cemani Body in his own way, but every time he succeeded, a dreadful premonition always appeared. It was as if it was telling him that if he knew any further, then his body and soul would be destroyed in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
He could finally just give up and wait until he got stronger. But his ignorance of the Ayam Cemani Body always brought new problems, from when he couldn't use mana to cultivate to now when a fate companion with 99.9% compatibility appeared in front of him.
"Ugh.. What physique does Kylia have?" "Exchange all the information about demon beasts for points."
[Danger! Host will die horribly if…]
It was the same notification that appeared when he asked the system about his physique.
"Just give me the name!"
[Kylia's Physique: Sacred Kamboja Tree (Embryo)/Sacred Seed (S)]
"Sacred Kambojan Tree?"
Never in his hundreds of millions of years had Del ever heard this name. This name was like the Ayam Cemani, which, without the help of Groda he would have never known about its existence.
With the word "tree" in its name, Del's mind was reminded of another term, "World Tree". The World Tree was a group of celestial entity types that were shaped like plants.
One kind of world tree was the Fusang Tree, which was famous for being able to open a gate between worlds on each of its branches. This tree was exceedingly rare, and its very existence would create a huge battle across the realms to determine its ownership.
But Del had never heard of anyone who had the physique of a Fusang Tree before.
"This is so troublesome."
The only thing closely related to the Fusang Tree was the three-legged crow.
"Wait a minute..."
There was another world tree that Del knew, namely the Thunderblood Tree, and strangely, this world tree also had a relationship with celestial creatures in the form of birds.
In the early era of civilization (before Cultivation was founded), while humans were still living in darkness, a bolt of lightning struck a tree and started the first fire known to mankind. The light from the tree invited people to come closer to it.
The war struggle for ownership of the burning tree ensued until a sea of blood formed around the tree. The burning tree absorbed the blood, and a new creature, the Phoenix, was born.
The Phoenix flew into the air with its body clad in eternal flames. The humans stopped fighting after the light disappeared amidst the darkness. The burning tree was called the Thunderblood Tree.
Even though it was just a legend spread among mortals, not a single Phoenix could deny its truth. As a result, many cultivators searched for the whereabouts of the Thunderblood Tree, including Del himself.
But until the time of his transmigration to the Gaia Universe, no one was able to find the whereabouts of the Thunderblood Tree. So Del thought that this was just a fairy tale.
How could a being as powerful as the Phoenix being born from a burning tree and mortal blood?
But as Del thought outside the box, he felt that the fairy tale might be true. Not only that, many other world trees have legends related to creatures shaped like birds.
Like the Cosmic Tree, a World Tree where every leaf was a star. It was said that previously, on the branch, there was a celestial bird perched on it; that celestial bird was said to be shaped like an eagle.
The Leave-Knowledge Tree was a world tree in which every leaf could record every piece of knowledge that exists around the world. It was said that the pen for recording this knowledge was the tip of the claw of a celestial bird shaped like an owl.
Many other absurd legends told of the relationship between the World Tree and creatures such as birds. Whether the bird was shaped like an eagle, raven, crane, loon, lark, owl, etc.
This legend was known to the World Tree and the Celestial Birds in the cultivation world, but neither of them denied or acknowledged it. It was as if they all had a mutual agreement to remain silent, even when they were on the verge of death.
At this point, Del started to think that if the Ayam Cemani were a celestial bird, then it would be natural to have a relationship with the World Tree.
"According to Groda, Ayam Cemani was born from a black hole."
So, what kind of tree is the sacred Kambojan tree?
Del could only back down as he was not ready to hear the answer to that question. The Ayam Cemani Body was a question whose answer could kill Del instantly, so asking about the Sacred Kamboja Tree, which had a close relationship with it, would definitely have the same consequences.
"Del.. DEL! Can you hear me?" Julia, who had been shouting his name, was starting to lose her temper.
Del put his separate thoughts together again. As a result, his mind was filled with Kylia again, which made him keep screaming "SO CUTE!♥ ♥♥" in his heart.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Del replied as he managed to control his body so as not to scream strange things.
"I want you to teach elementary school lessons to Kylia." "Can you do that?"
"Yes, no problem. But I don't have a teaching license, so I can't give her a graduation certificate."
Julia smiled and said, "That's not a problem."
For her and the Blume family, getting an elementary school graduation certificate was not difficult. Temedius only had to open his mouth, and the graduation certificate from the best elementary school in Teduh City would soon be delivered to him.
The most important thing for Julia right now was to heal Kylia so that she could return to being a normal girl like the others. From the reactions that occurred between Kylia and Del, it seemed that this was the right decision.
"Then it's not a problem," Del answered briefly.
"Good, I'll leave Kylia to you then," Julia stood up from her chair.
Suddenly hearing those words, Kylia looked away from Del and looked at Julia.
"Mother, are you going to leave me here?"
Kylia only averted her eyes for less than a second; even before her question was finished, Kylia had returned her gaze to Del.
But that was enough time to make Del's temper flare.
"HOW DARE YOU LOOK AT SOMEONE ELSE?"
