"Let's go and let Temporal Thunder do his thing. I know someone you'll get along with." Flower Shadow smiled, and turned.
"Oh?" Star Boundary's eyes grew beady with expectation. "Alright, Temporal Thunder, let's play again later, I love you!" She said, waving goodbye with a sweet smile.
"Have a good time, enjoy your new lease on life. And go easy on your new friend, she's not as strong as you are, but… Well, you'll have some things in common. I'm sure you'll get along wonderfully." I said, waving back.
"Flower Shadow, who's this person! I want to meet them." Star Boundary asked, wrapping her arms around Flower Shadow.
"Someone, you'll definitely get along with." Flower Shadow giggled taking off.
"Uh, Nephew…" Iron Blood started, he paused to wonder if he should even say anything.
"Hmm, Don't worry, I'm fine. You go and spend time enjoying the party or whatever you wish." I said, with a light chuckle.
"If you're positive then very well. Just don't overdo it." Iron Blood said, clearly noticing I was out of sorts.
"Ahahaha, let the young man be brother Iron Blood. He has a lot of preparation to take care of after all." Martial Beast chuckled, as he made ready to leave. "Oh, by the way, Jiu Feng is doing well, though Li Wu Yi is all panicky. It's truly quite funny." He added.
"Oh? That's great, I'm glad she's doing well, now, how about lady Fu Xuan, how is she fairing?" I asked, with a soft smile.
"She's been feeling better ever since the medicine got to her. Now, then I'll see you later Nephew." Martial Beast said, blushing just before rushing off.
The other great emperors chuckled, gave a wave and then flew off as well. They all had a look in their eyes like they were thinking of how to both tease and congratulate Martial Beast. With them gone and the return of the Spirit of Star Boundary… I let out a long and heavy sigh, heaving off the weight of feeding the spirit's generation.
"Now then, since that business is over and none of you have left yet… I imagine you have some other business you wish to discuss?" I said, as Huo Lei and my wives made themselves comfortable, Hou Lei and Xiu Che had taken a seat on either side of my lap and leaned against me.
"Indeed there is, we decided to bring the 7th ranks who are to receive those arrays. Would it be too much to ask you to take care of this matter now?" Luo Ting He answered, being the first to recover from the shock of seeing a Universe World Spirit's birth, or rather, rebirth. "But I'm curious about what just happened, was that really the spirit of Star Boundary?" She asked, the others nodded as if they wanted confirmation as well.
"Yes, it had been a long time since the Spirit had been killed and devoured by an enemy in the past. It was my Father and the other Great Emperors who did battle with that foe. Fortunately that enemy is dead now. Though, I did have an unpleasant experience of fighting a nearly fully recovered remnant soul of his… Truly, a, piece, of, shit, unworthy, of, mourning." I explained, my words becoming slow and heavy as the memories of what I saw in those Undergrounds that the Evil Shadow Sect had in my yang kai's world.
"I… I see." Luo Ting He muttered in response as she and the others felt the cold wind of hate I gave off. Even if it was only for a second, it was still heavy.
"Apologies, but that brought up some truly hateful memories. Some of them might actually have been my driving force to desire procreation so strongly… And it's likely they had a similar effect on my wives." I said, clearing my throat and regaining control over my aura.
"It does have an effect. We use these memories as part of our tests to ensure potential sisters would be able to handle the sight. Some of you ladies failed this test." Huo Lei explained, hinting at the severity of the topic.
"Once becoming one with, Husband, for the first time… Both of your life stories & experiences will be shared. If you aren't able to handle that sight… Your mind will break. It's not a pretty sight…" Xiu Che said, further insinuating that they shouldn't bring it up.
The Supreme Elders were surprised that there was something I took so seriously negatively. Some started thinking about what it could be, others started thinking about asking me about it. And Azure Void's Supreme Elder spoke up next.
"Qing Ning, is it alright if you tell me what it is? I'm having a hard time coming up with what it might be." Azure Void's Supreme Elder asked, directly to Qing Ning.
"Azure Land Divine Monarch. I'm willing to show you all a perfect copy of the event. One directly from my eyes. However, I'd prefer not to feel insulted. So I'll ask, is the reason you have difficulty coming up with something, that you have multiple possibilities? Or is it that you think I'm so obstinate not to have things that infuriate me to my core?" I asked, preparing a ball of light in front of myself. "Note, I'm only going to show the Supreme Elders that wish to see it. But I'll note, it's graphic and you may wish to prepare yourselves." I warned.
"Well, judging by your actions so far. And what we know of the requirements you have for choosing worthy wives… I struggle coming up with something that would definitively be enough to stand out among the other things. It's not as though nothing comes to mind, perhaps we just haven't seen what you have?" Azure Land Divine Monarch from Azure Void answered.
"Alright, that'll have to do. I can't blame one when they are ignorant of something, lest they are willfully so. Very well then, who wishes to see it?" I asked, waiting for responses. Every single one of the Supreme Elders nodded ready to accept the vision. "Alright, here you go. Oh, and don't say I didn't warn you about it either." I said, as the ball of light split into over a hundred beams and went straight to the Supreme Elders' heads…
