"... how is that different from cultivators, the gap is infinitely different. I could explain, but rather than take up your time with this, just know to lead your life on the right side of things."
Yueliang nods in acknowledgement, and as they turn left, they see a large open dining room with people scattered on the floor and some kneeling beside them.
Seeing this sight, as gruesome and full of despair as it is, Yueliang grandfather waves his right arm from left to right.
Watching this seemingly off action from his grandpa, just as he is about to open his mouth, he sees a stunning sight.
Glass, metal and other substances are seen flying out of everyone in the room, and into a ball flying in the air in the center of the room. Then all the blood uncoagulates, an flies off of the floor and cleaning itself in midair, flies back into their respective bodies.
Once all the debris and blood and everything is cleaned up, his grandfather using his left arm this time from right to left waves his arm sucking in the mass of filth into his inventory. Then before any of the wounds or injuries could return to their broken state, his grandfather snaps his fingers and their wounds heal within the blink of an eye, and limbs regrown in that same time. If one was not watching closely they would have missed the whole scene.
Without missing a beat, Yueliang turns to his grandfather and says with a sincere smile. "Thank you so much grandpa." Then quickly runs off to the others to see how they are doing, but notices some clearly dead bodies on the ground. However knowing this was likely to happen, and is just a part of nature, he continues to the others.
Meanwhile, as Yueliang runs over, many of those who were lethally injured until just moments ago, begin standing, and looking at their body in wonder before looking to the entrance to see who healed them.
Also while this is happening, Ai Lan says to her father. "It is nice to see those who care about those that they lead, right dad?"
"Right." He answers as he pulls in his daughter for a hug as they watch the scene unfolding before them from the doorway.
Meanwhile, looking around the room, Yue asks Blake who happens to be nearby with worry in his voice. "Where are the tigers, and the snow leopard? Did they make it? What of Yin?"
Blake however says calmly. "Please calm down young master. As you know we have lost many, and have yet to have a head count."
Hearing this, Yue takes a deep breath, and then says. "Alright, just let me know when we know who all has made it. In the mean time, I should probably introduce you. Please follow me."
Then turning around, he leads Blake to his aunt and grandpa.
A few moments later Yue says. "I will apologize in advance as I am not able to introduce you to everyone, but grandpa, and sister, this is Blake, one of my closest subordinates. Blake, this is my grandpa, who also happens to be the emperor of apparently a number of universes, and this is my aunt Ai Lan, who I call sister as we are similar in age and what not."
Letting them get the pleasantries out of the way, Yue pulls a glass of water out of his inventory, and starts drinking, as it has been a long time since he got to eat or drink anything.
Blake then adds. "It is nice to meet you both."
The emperor says. "It is nice to meet those who are taking care of my grandson."
Ai Lan saying. "It is nice to meet you as well, so are you two dating?"
Hearing this, Yue nearly spits out the water in his mouth, but says nothing, as Blake smiles and says. "While many of us would be honored to have such a position, he has just gotten out of a rough ending of a relationship. Therefore, none of us want to make things difficult. Plus we are all friends of the young master, while such a thing may be nice, not all of us are looking to have a relationship at the moment or with anyone specific." She says whilst trying to disguise the words to the best of her abilities.
Ai Lan, as the only other female of the four of them says. "Well, as you choose what your future in life entails, just make sure you do not get left behind from taking too long."
The emperor on the other hand says. "Please continue to keep my grandson safe, as it seems you and your people have done well so far."
"Of course, and more than you know your highness." Blake answers with a small bow.
Hearing this the emperor comments. "Oh? I would love to hear more about this at a later date."
Meanwhile hearing all of this, Yue just swallows his water, and ponders to himself. 'How complicated women can be. Yet no matter how she disguises her words, the notion is clear. I just do not know how I feel yet.'
Glancing at Yueliang, the emperor asks. "Tell me, how long has it been since your system has gone silent? Or am I wrong and everything is fine?"
Not able to hold back his curiousity Yue answers his question with his own. "Are the systems normally not silent? As far as I know, I am the only one who has my brother talking to me."
As Ai Lan hears this, her jaw nearly drops from shock, and the same with her father who then asks. "You mean, yours has a voice? I just meant the notifications, as it seems from your questions that you have not seen any changes."
Yueliang then answers his original question. "I am not sure how long, especially since my condition for a while now has been complicated. Also, yes, my system has a voice, well more specifically, my twin, because of certain circumstances became combined with my soul as well as the system. Thus I am always able to talk to him."
Silent for many moments, the father and daughter pair try to process the information. Eventually the father breaks out of his daze and says. "I am sorry to hear about your close relatives. Long ago, when I made the system I put in a fail safe, that should my descendants be hunted down one day, that a child would be born that would have a system nearly as powerful as my own in order to protect them. However it seems that went slightly further and this changed slightly."
"What do you mean?" Yue asks.
Ai Lan answers as the emperor thinks what this could mean for the future. "You see, no descendant of father has a super versatile system such as his own until they complete a series of missions to upgrade it, but even then it will not be equal to even a quarter of his. Yours on the other hand allows you all the knowledge and abilities of the vast universes around you just like fathers with some limitations of course. However ..."
"However what?"
Knowing they cannot hide it any longer, his grandpa answers. "However, when you go to upgrade it, yours will be more powerful than mine. But you see, even we do not know what that means, as even mine allows for what would seem to be nearly impossible to become possible. No matter who it is, they could not obtain the knowledge, and materials that we have at our fingertips so long as we complete just a few small conditions."
"Then for all we know, I may just die, or it could do nothing?" Yue tries to dig for information.
However Ai Lan says. "Well, we know for certain you will not die. You see, this system was created in the chaotic times with wars rampant so father could end the chaos, protect himself and others, as he creates the peace we have today."
Hearing this, Yue thinks to himself. 'I guess all I can do is wait until Yang is back again.'
As Yue focuses on the emperor, just about to ask something, he says. "Regardless of how things have come to this, I am just happy that you have come back to us. Think of this as one of the many gifts to come for you my grandson." Then he snaps his fingers, and a white light begins flowing in waves from the emperors body into Yueliangs'.
"What is that?" Yueliang asks.
Ai Lan, not wanting to spoil the surprise says. "You will start to see in a few hours to come. However this is quite the gift father, it seems you must be very impressed by him."
Feeling a little embarrassed but not showing it Yues' grandfather says. "It may be a big gift, but just from my observations so far, he is deserving of it.. I just hope that one day he will put it to good use, and bring honor to this family."
