The Eternal Family

Harry appeared above a tower. It was lighting a huge area surrounding him and even if someone looked at it from the end of this world, they would see it.

This was the Heavenly Tower of the Heavenly Tavern World. A tower said to gaze at all of heaven and earth.

Something built for the world's sovereignty by the people of this world. He scanned the landscape below with a glance over.

Hundreds of futuristic buildings matted his sight with a road that easily laid a foundation for travel all around the world. He could also feel tiny lives moving under his senses.

And more than ever, he could perfectly tell how much of a stupid path the path of Gifted was. There were Stage 5 people and Stage 1s in his senses but all of them felt the same to him in soul strength.

All of their Soul Limits were weak. Too weak for him to even care. Unlike the two cultivators that stood out to him with a brilliant aura of trade surrounding them.

One of them was Lilly and the other was Evis who vanished right after his senses passed through her.

Harry then chuckled and teleported some meters away from Lilly. Invisible, he glanced at the silver-haired beauty who commanded might just by standing there.

She was looking down on a bunch of men who were kneeling under her throne. She looked at them with cold eyes and said, "Two million dollars. That's why you lost me in the outside world, and that's fine. A million dollars were lost inside the Heavenly Metropolis too. Why should I keep your company active when it brings me nothing but losses?"

"Please, Queen! One last chance! Please!" A man asked with a pleading voice. "We're about to have a breakthrough in our scientific research and 'Operation Mecha' is already successful. Once we have Stage 5 level mechas, we can start selling them to the other worlds for profit."

Lilly nodded. "My brother told me you had the wits. So you must amount to something, he rarely ever praises someone. This is your last chance, and that chance is given on my brother's behalf. Fail it this time and I will take your company's investment away. You better surprise me with that Stage 5 mecha soon."

The man nodded. He was just about to move when a man kept his head on the ground with a foot. "The next time you fail, I will take your head. I want that Stage 5 Mecha the day you promised."

The man shivered as an icy feeling moved past him.

"Yes, I will! I will!" he shouted out of pure fear and before he could see the enigmatic sovereign's face, got teleported out.

"Sigh... Lilly, you are too good with people. No wonder half your businesses fail." Harry sighed and spoke while looking at her.

"Brother?" Lilly's eyes widened. "You came out of your seclusion?"

"No. Why are you asking such obvious questions?" Harry was hugged by her and as he felt her small frame tremble, said: "I know I have been slightly absent. Sorry."

"Ah, I forgot... I was supposed to beat you up." Lilly chuckled.

They then spend about an hour just speaking sweet nothings or stupid nothings or just both berating Evis.

"And Luna too. She has gotten too naughty after being with Evis for so long! She was so sweet when she was young. Totally obedient and hard-working. look at her now, sigh..." Lilly said sadly.

"I saw her... Indeed, she took after Evis a lot. I should tell Evis not to mess around too much and teach her some bad habits or something." Harry nodded. Not that he had any doubts about her integrity as a teacher.

He knew Evis could teach really well and they were just blowing off steam. But had Evis seen them, it would have been hell for sure.

"So, what is the next plan?" Lilly asked, "Another secluded training for years?"

Sure, they had a long lifespan but not seeing Harry for too long was growing to affect her.

She gets lonely on days and even though she will always barge into his seclusion area and force herself on him – even though he enjoys it a lot. And then come back and sulk again.

"Not another seclusion..." Harry rubbed his nose. "I plan to Awaken."

Lilly looked at him with a skipping heart. "You are not going to wait till you grow stronger?"

"No... I feel oddly confident in my chances now. I don't know. I am pretty sure I will succeed. So I plan not to wait any longer."

Lilly fell deep into his embrace. "And I heard from Evis again yesterday – she was blabbing how you were a far mightier Eternal at a point. Again. I heard it so much I don't want to hear it any longer. But she also told me yesterday that if something really drastic happens to you, you will just be reborn as you are an Eternal."

Harry blinked. "She never told me that..."

Lilly blinked. "Maybe I was not supposed to tell you that..."

Harry laughed. His chuckle resounded across the room like a wave. "That's even more reason for me to try then. And I am almost 100% certain I would not fail like the others. Maybe, my Awakening process..."

He looked far into the skies. "Maybe my Awakening process in itself would be different from others."

Lilly looked at him deeply. "If you rebirth, it will not be too much trouble for us to find you. My business is spread around all of Cursed Blessing Mystic World now. All of the worlds under the two Eternal Eyes have my business running now."

"No way..." Harry's heart skipped a beat. "All billions of worlds? That's impossible. How did y–"

"Yeah..." Lilly chuckled. "Still far from covering all of their worlds. But Evis told me that if I cover all their world, I will become an Eternal but she also told me they will kill me when I am halfway done."

"How would you find me then?"

"We just have not yet set up all around. But in millions of worlds, my setups have started to bud. I will only keep it in the bud and when all of it is done, I will flower them at the same time and become an Eternal."

"It will take thousands of years..."

"My clones are also spreading all around brother. They are not only good at making you hard, hehe, half of them rile over worlds now. I am known as the Icy goddess in places since I act cold to all of them. The Eyes might have noticed me already if my clones had Gifts. Luckily they are purely cultivators."

Harry just listened and Lilly babbled on and on. "Mystry is also a big modern city now and it is totally under control. The whole world is slowly becoming ours."

Harry nodded with a chuckle. "Just keep your main body here safe and sound. Rest is all good."

"When are you going to awaken?"

"A year from now. I will enjoy my life for the next year in sloth and debauchery. My woman needs enjoyment after all. And that cat girl had been running away from me for a while, I have to catch her and give her a spanking. After all of that... I will Awaken."

Their whispering made them unable to feel the passage of time. A day or two passed by just like that as the light and darkness swapped places.

Emma and Valeria joined them on the first day. Anna followed right after.

Evis' sneaky gaze was there too. She was playing along with Luna.

And finally, Harry had the chance to see the next two girls.

Both of them were... Surprisingly lazy heads. Elira was sleeping most of the time with his lap as a pillow and Mira was sleeping in Emma's lap.

"What weirdos... Doesn't even care about me who they rarely see in months..." Harry sadly sighed. "I should make some theme parks for them. And do they have any friends?"

"Yes, a bunch of friends. They are always playing some kind of game once outside even though they're the lazy bunch who just walk around once the game starts," said Emma.

"Do their friends know that I am their father?" Harry asked curiously.

"Of course not. If they knew it, they would just be afraid of us. Even Big Sis Lilly's identity is hidden. Only her voice is actually famous among kids. And if the adults reveal who she is, they get a hefty price as punishment. That's one of Big Sis Lilly's businesses." Said Mira sleepily from Emma's lap.

"What about your cultivation Elira?" She closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Harry couldn't help but be speechless.

"Maybe I should use my sacred technique: The Belt. Again, huh, Elira? So rude." Anna chuckled as she pinched the girl's cheeks.

Elira snorted in annoyance.
