‘Hey sleepy head, you are finally up. Get up, it’s time for school,’ a calm, lovely voice said.

Huno held his head and sat up. ‘what’s going on?’ he asked.

‘What’s going on is, you are going to be late for school, little man. Get up, I know today is your birthday, but that doesn’t mean you should sleep in and not go to school,’ the voice said and pulled him up.

Huno frowned when he got up. ‘what’s wrong son?’ the voice asked.

‘I don’t know, it seems I have gotten shorter,’ Huno said, staring at his body. ‘No, it seems I have gotten smaller,’ he added.

‘What do you mean?’ the voice asked.

‘Never mind, I should get a bath…,’ Huno said, looking up. ‘Mom?’ he called out softly, looking at the lady in front of him.

‘Yes, what is it?’ his mom asked.

‘When did you get back?’ Huno asked.

‘We got back last night. You were already in bed,’ she replied. ‘What’s wrong? Why are you crying?’

‘Huh?’

Huno touched his cheek and realized there were tears running down on it. ‘Why am I crying?’.

    ‘And how are you doing, boy?’ Raphael asked.‘I’m quite okay,’ Huno replied. ‘Good, good, I can’t believe you damaged Hamax so badly,’. ‘I apologize. Raphael, what would you say if I told you I have a way out of here?’ Raphael frowned and looked at him. He was shocked by what he heard and took some time to comprehend it. ‘Then I would say let’s go immediately,’ he replied happily. ‘Don’t you have things you need to pack up, or someone you want to take with you?’ ‘Well, there are a lot of things I need to pack up and for people to take with me, well I would love to take my disciples with me. I have two who have families here. Can you take them along?’. ‘How many disciples?’ ‘Three,’‘I can carry them and their families out of here,’ Huno assured him. ‘I hope you aren’t forgetting me?’ A familiar voice sounded from the room entrance.Huno and Raphael turned and found Star standing in front of the room door.‘Of course I’m forgetting about you.

    ‘Hey wake up, are you alright?’ a voice sounded while something shook his body.Huno slowly opened his eyes. Water seems to fall down on him. Soon he realized it was raining.‘I’m fine, sir,’ Huno replied to the man in front of him.‘Are you sure you fell pretty hard from the sky?’. Huno nodded and asked, ‘what realm is this?’‘Realm? Oh you mean world, you must be a cultivator, this is the Solar world,’ the man replied.Huno looked at him closely and found out he had no cultivation realm.‘Thank you. Where is the nearest city from here?’‘That direction, sir,’ the man said and pointed straight ahead.‘Thanks,’ Huno said and closed his eyes. ‘Luckily I still have one,’ Huno said, opening his eyes.He raised his finger to touch the man’s forehead. After a while, he took back his hand and a small bag appeared in his hand. ‘Take this as my thank you gift,’ Huno said and gave him the bag.‘I’ll forever be grateful to you, sir, for teaching me,’ the man said and took the bag.H

    The ship stopped in front of them.‘By the order of the monarch of the Solar palace, we are ordered to search everyone who attempts to pass,’ a man among them said.‘Monarch?’ Huno whispered.‘A title for a someone at the third stage Ascension realm,’ Raphael answered.‘Please go on,’ he added.The man who spoke nodded and asked one of his companion.‘Are any among them who we are looking for?’‘No sir, but we should check. It’s a big boat,’ his companion replied.‘Proceed,’ the man said.Several people flew into the ship and began searching every corner of the ship. ‘You guys seem to have lots of fine ladies. Do you mind sharing?’ the man said to Raphael.‘We definitely can’t,’ Raphael replied.‘And if we choose to take them by force?’ the man asked.‘Well, please try, but I advise you not to,’‘And why is that?’‘Well, everyone on this ship right now can boast about single-handedly facing an Ascension realm and escaping with his or her life,’ Raphael said. ‘If you can boast o

    ‘Ah,’ Huno opened his eyes and weakly got up.He breathed heavily and looked around; he seems to be in a forest. Raphael and Star appeared beside him and both were in a daze for a while.‘Are you alright?’ Raphael asked.‘My head hurts,’ Huno replied and turned.In the direction he faced, there seems to be something familiar there. It was faint, so faint that it was like it never existed. He turned back and said, ‘For now, I’ll only bring you two out. I don’t know when I’ll be rejected again,’‘Understood. The smaller the number, the better,’ Star said.‘Let’s go in that direction,’ Huno said, pointing toward the familiar feeling.‘Alright,’ Star replied. Raphael said nothing and brought an artifact. It grew and became the size of a simple wagon.‘How many do you have on you?’ Huno asked.‘Traveling artifacts?’ Raphael asked. ‘Well, dozens of them,’ he added.‘I see,’‘Let’s go,’ Raphael said and got on.After Huno and Star got on, they flew away. They flew on for eight days

    ~A Month Later~ ‘Still no sign of a city or a sect. Are you sure there are humans in this realm?’ Raphael asked.‘I don’t know,’ Huno said, opening his eyes.‘How’s your cultivation going?’‘Can’t seem to form a core so I’m unable to enter the foundation realm,’ Huno replied and stood up to stretch. ‘The energy in my body is enough to form a bronze core, but every time I try, it doesn’t work. So I’m stuck in the Er realm,’ he added.‘Oh tough luck boy,’‘Maybe this was a bad idea,’ ‘Maybe, but what if you forget about forming a core?’‘What do you mean?’‘You are trying a new thing but following the old method. Why don’t you try a new method and just keep absorbing the nature essence into your body,’‘Okay, you don’t think what I’m doing is stupid?’‘Why would I? I’m an artifact refiner. I usually try new methods for refining artifact,’‘The current cultivation way was learnt by someone and taught to others. Who knows, you’ll be able to do that,’ Raphael added.Huno nodded a

    …Their journey forward was smooth. They arrived at the big sect in a few days, all thanks to the speed of Raphael’s artifact. After getting directions, they set off towards the portal which was calculated to eight months away, even with Raphael’s artifact. Two months on the way, Fuyi advanced to the fourth stage Nascent Soul and Huno formed a third star force and increased in strength. He could finally connect with Hacel, and to his surprise, Hacel seemed to be different.‘What’s going on?’ he thought.He brought out the boat and brought everyone out before going in.‘When was there ever a lake here?’ he asked himself while hovering above a small lake.He flew over to land and sat down, crossed his legs and connected with the entire Hacel.‘No way, why is there such a change?’ he asked happily. ‘Is it related to my cultivation now? I wonder what it would be like when I reach a very high realm?’ he said with a smile on his face.Huno discovered the change in Hacel was a good thing. In

You know that area is dangerous, so he told us to return first,’ Rina said.‘Okay, Tanila, come let’s dress these,’ the woman yelled.‘Coming mom,’ a voice answered as a little girl ran out of the house. ‘Girls, it’s almost that time of the year,’ the woman said to the two young ladies.‘Yeah, the gods will pick a new protector.

Speechless, Matara stood, not knowing what to do.‘I want to apologize for what my daughter did. She didn’t mean it, she was just scared. Please, I hope you forgive her,’ she said, helplessly.But the person didn’t bulge, he just laid there with his entire body covered. ‘You must be hungry.

    Huno appeared inside a room. In it Sarai who sat beside an unconscious Wu Yi, held a napkin. With it she wiped Wu Yi’s body. His heart ached at the sight.“Mom,” Huno called out and Sarai paused. When she looked behind, her eyes widened. Tears flowed down her eyes and weak sobs escaped her. Huno walked up to her and embraced.“You are back… I’m… I’m so sorry…”“It’s not your fault mom,” Huno interrupted. “It’s not your fault.”“Ah!” she cried her heart out in his arm.“It’s alright, everything is gonna be okay,” said Huno, embracing her more.“But Yi’er won’t wake up.

Everything is going to be alright.”“There’s something you can do?” Sarai asked with tears still running down.“Yes.” Huno nodded.

Luna pulled out and flashed her a bright smile. “You are right husband,” Xue Li said.“Elder brother Wei, Sis Li, brother Chiro, I missed you all,” one of the ladies called out. Luna gave way for her and she hugged Xue Li.“You are… Saint?” Xue Li asked.“Yes,” the lady nodded. “Husband, brought me a body.”“Husband!” Chiro coughed. He and everyone else turned to Huno with questions written on their faces.Lili eyes twitched while she faced him. Lin Si cleared her throat while Lu Yal and Lu Yan stared confused.“A lot happened, we’ll explain,” Luna said getting everyone’s attention. “But first…”She bowed to Lin Si, hands cupped. “Greetings second mom,” she said.Lin Si looked at her. “I’m Luna, Huno’s first wife and I pay my respect,” Luna said.“Raise your head…”“Not yet mom,” Luna interrupted. “I kno

    Without a word she shot forward. No one among them saw where she went next. She moved faster than anything they’ve ever seen.“Huh?”“Ah!”With every gasp, every scream, a head flew or a body got divided into two. People lost their life before they even realized it. Lin Si watched the scene in awe. Something within her ignited. She couldn’t explain it nor could she describe it. However, she knew she had to meet the real Lin Si quick. The onslaught before her made her blood boil.She turned to Luyi and said. “Tell her I need to get back to my main body. It’s urgent.”“Huh? Yes ma’am,” Luyi said and yelled, “mom, madam needs to get to her real body.”Fuyi halted before a man, her sword stopping inches away from his neck. He sighed quietly as she turned to Luyi’s direction. The man tried to leave quietly, but she swung her hand, uprooting his life in a slash. She took a deep breath and sighed before she flew towards Lin Si. The orders of Huno’s mother came before her desire to kill.***

    ***“Is there any need to continue this pointless war, Lin Si?” a man roared while striking the sword in his hand. His torn garment had blood stains on it from the ugly wounds he had all over his body. He looked terrible but his opponent looked worse. “Surrender, and your city will remain intact, I promise.”The woman he spoke to, Lin Si, turned a deaf ear to his words. She couldn’t believe him, not in a million years. Lin Si had only one intention, kill him and end this war.She let out a loud shriek and transformed to an eagle. Flames rushed out of her mouth at him.“You are a monster race,” he frowned as he blocked the flames. His frown grew intense when he found three Lin Si staring at him. “You think two fakes will prevent me from pinpointing you.”He struck at the Lin Si to the left. However, she dodged while the others attacked.“Tch,” the man tsk. “How come the attacks of the fakes are real?” he thought.He could barely block their combined attacks. “It’s as if they can all re

    He disengaged, stared at her and smiled. She had a black and white dress on, her hair flawlessly white and eyes blue just as his own.Huno kissed her lips, they were as soft as he remembered. Well, he couldn’t really remember how soft they used to feel.“How’s junior sister Saint?” Luna asked him.“She’s possessing the body I brought,” he replied her with a smile, then took her hand. “Let’s go see.”Their surroundings changed, they had returned to the house. The duo watched quietly and made sure they did not interrupt her.“Huno,” Shinari’s voice sounded in his head.“Huh?”“Are you close to Melina’s body?” she asked him.“Yeah why?”“Open a portal towards it,” she instructed him.“Is something wrong?”“Who are you talking to?” Luna asked.“Shinari, the world spirit of my world in Cosmo,” Huno replied.“Nothing is wrong, just do it,” Shinari replied.“Alright.”A portal appeared before him and Luna.

    “Everyone is gone to where?” Huno frowned.“To the Dou realm, Lin Si took them away,” Saint said.“Everyone left you?” Huno’s frown turned to a sad face.“No, I kicked them out. They didn’t want to go,” Saint replied. “It’s not their fault I’m stuck here. I’ve made peace with fate. Everyone is meant to leave me one day.”“Not if I have something to say about it,” Huno said. “I brought a body for you… why are you laughing?”“Come on Huno, you think in all my years alive, I haven’t tried possessing a body?” Saint asked.“Oh, it didn’t work?”“I tried one thousand one hundred and sixty seven times. Every time the body I tried to possess disintegrated before I got to complete the process,” Saint replied with a sigh.“Hmm, it wouldn’t hurt to try again,” Huno said with an encouraging smile.“Alright.” Saint rolled her eyes at him then asked. “Where’s the body?”Huno stretched his hand out and a body appeared on it. With it’s appearance came a terrifying aura. Huno felt his body go numb. Th

Afar off to the south, watching him were the Melings and several others. To the east were a group of creatures he knew not off and to the west were more creatures. Unbeknown to him, Huno appeared in the Melings camp.“Husband,” Bing Ya called out. He kissed her forehead and turned to Elta, who smiled at him. He returned the smile and gave her a kiss on her forehead.“Welcome,” “Is everyone here?” Huno asked.“Just the pseudo kings and above,” Elta replied. “Okay. Greetings third mom,”“Oh, you finally noticed me,” Bing Yu said with a smile. “I’m sorry,”“It’s alright. Who are they by the way?” Bing Yu tilted her head towards the creatures afar off. “Subordinates of a few friends.

Huno turned to her and closed his eyes while muttering. “Heaven and earth release,” His body shone slightly, and his realm dropped slowly. “Thank you,”“For?” “Caring about Elta and Bing Ya, and taking the time to worry about their insecurities,” Luna’s eyes widened and shone like a touch. “You heard us that day!” “Yeah. I woke up and slept back several times. The recoil of borrowing that power took a toil on me. I might need to sleep for a few weeks. My muscles are still a bit strained,”“Pease forgive me, I didn’t mean to hide…” “I have no concerns of your past sweetie. I care for our present and our future,”“But… I…” “You don’t have to worry sweetie, I’m not angry. And if there’s anything you feel I should know, or there’s any problem we need to work on, you can let me know when you are ready,”“Thanks,” Luna flew to his side and kissed him. “To be honest, there’s not much problem.

    ... “We are here,” Huno said staring down at the ice fortress beneath them. “Thank you,”“Are these your subordinates? They look different from humans,” Golden crow said looking at those that had flew out to greet them. Several third petals had flew out to face them. Seeing Huno, their expressions had changed. They were greatly relieved.“It seems, they were ready to die while biting a bit of our flesh. Haha,” “Yes, those are my subordinates. They are Melings, they aren’t human,”“There are several of them. Their number is quite large. Do you want to take them over to the Fallen world?” Qiong Qi asked.“That would take months,” Golden crow said. “Just a few days. I need to rest a bit so we won’t be moving immediately,” Huno replied. “I haven’t rested properly since my resurrection,”“Okay,” Huno turned to the third petals. “Prepare a resting place for the various seniors,”“Yes sir,” Izu responded.“Well, we too need to rest, I guess,” Golden crow said.
