In the Dinner table:

While they were eating, the children were silent as if they were having the most delicious banquet.

“Ahem,” Maximus coughed to get their attention.

“First, congratulations on passing the trial and becoming an official student,” Maximus started.

Based on the earlier notification, Maximus confirmed that they had finished the trial and the hidden mission.

“Second, after watching the clips of your trial, I can proudly say that you are indeed my sons and daughters.”

This brought smiles to their faces; getting their father’s recognition was probably the best they could ask for.

“And lastly, Liam, Amara, Nathan, and Zoe, although you are already old enough in the virtual world…”

“Here in the real world, I hope that you still restrain yourselves and wait until you’ve grown into adults.”

“Dad, don’t worry. We are already sensible, and we won’t do anything that will harm us in the future,” Liam promised.

The other three also nodded, confirming Liam’s words.

Although the world’s origin healed their souls from any influence that time had on them.

The experience and lessons they learned in the trial were still deeply embedded in their minds.

“That’s fine if you understand,” Maximus breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he would have liked them to marry earlier so he could earn system points sooner, his love for his children prevented him from doing so.

“However, since you have already confirmed your relationship, how about we arrange the marriage early?” Erica suddenly suggested.

“That’s right; we don’t want Amara and Zoe to be cheated by you two bastards,” Hazel added. action

Erica and Hazel took their sons’ lifelong partners seriously.

More importantly, they wanted to have grandchildren immediately.

Thinking of their cute grandchildren, they couldn’t help but be excited.

“Mom!”

“Mom!”

The two blushed as they heard what their mother said.

“Why, you two don’t want to be responsible?!”

“How can that be? We are merely embarrassed,” Liam immediately refuted.

“I’ll be responsible for Zoe,” Nathan answered without hesitation.

“Then it’s fine. How about it, husband? When do you think they should get married?”

“Since I got married at 19 years old, then they can also marry at that age.”

“How about three years later?” Maximus suggested.

“This…” Liam and Nathan didn’t decide immediately and looked at their partners.

“I’m fine with anything, but I hope my brother can attend my wedding,” Amara requested after some thought.

Her brother, Alistair, was the only family she had in this world.

Amara wanted her brother to be present in such an important event and meet her most beloved person.

“That’s fine; I will ask someone to find your brother,” Maximus nodded.

“What about you, Zoe?”

“I’m fine,” Zoe answered without much thought.

She already has Nathan in her heart; a wedding is merely an embellishment to their growing relationship.

“How about you, Stefan, and Mrs. Maine? Do you agree to your daughter’s marriage?” Maximus asked Zoe’s parents.

Zoe’s father and mother, who were also at the table, fell into silence.

With all the help Maximus had given them, they were more than willing to have their daughter marry Nathan.

However, as parents, they were also a little reluctant to marry off their daughter.

Quite conflicted, Stefan finally decided.

“Zoe’s marriage is up to her, but if I ever hear Nathan bullying her.”

“No matter what your identity is, I will let you know how scary the word ‘father’ is,” Stefan said without fear.

Although he is no match for Maximus, whether it was identity or strength.

However, when it comes to his daughter, life is just a small price he is willing to pay.

“Don’t worry, father-in-law. I vow to take care of Zoe with all my life,” Nathan vowed before Maximus said anything.

Hearing this, Stefan and Mrs. Maine were a little stunned.

Although a vow is not as powerful as a contract when it comes to damage, it has a long-lasting effect and cannot be cured with anything.

“Then we will keep an eye on you from now on,” Stefan said as he sighed in relief.

During the whole conversation, Maximus stayed silent.

He understood Stefan very well, so he didn’t take his words lightly.

As a father with daughters, marrying any of them off to someone would be heartbreaking.

After all, they were your sweet little angels, then they were suddenly taken by some robber.

What’s worse is that you would be the one to hand your daughter over to them.

Maximus couldn’t imagine his daughter being married, at least for now.

Anyone who dared to harm them would have to face the ultimate final boss: the father.

After the discussion of the marriage between the two partners.

They turned their heads toward Max and Ella, who had been flirting earlier until now.

Feeling the gazes, Max and Ella suddenly stopped as they blushed brightly red.

“You two seem to like each other. Would you like to get married?” Denise, the aunt of Ella, teased.

“No, Max still has a promise that he hasn’t fulfilled yet!” Ella suddenly exclaimed.

“Oh, what promise?” Denise asked curiously.

Although they could watch what was happening in the virtual world, it was all edited to ensure the privacy of all the students.

Except for important events and breakthroughs, most of what they’re doing is private.

“It’s a secret!” Ella stuck her tongue out.

“What kind of secret is it? Can you tell me, Max?” Denise, seeing that she couldn’t get any details out of her niece, turned her attention to Max.

“Uh, it’s a secret,” Max thought for a while and didn’t divulge it.

“Are you sure you won’t tell me?” Denise squinted her eyes and asked.

“No,” Max shook his head.

Denise still wanted to get the details, but seeing that Maximus warned her with his gaze, she stopped.

“Hmph! Boy, you better be prepared! Marrying Ella would take a lot more than you can imagine,” Denise advised.

“Alright, enough of that. We should continue to eat!” Maximus warmed the atmosphere.

As for Neo’s relationship with Aria, Maximus didn’t bother to bring it up.

Looking at Neo’s who was still lazily eating, it seems the trial was merely a passing event into him.

Maximus can only watch how their relationship develops before talking about it with Neo.

…

While Maximus and his family were having dinner.

In the virtual world, after Liam and the others went into hibernation:

“You finally left the world, huh?” Yorticia sighed, feeling the fluctuations in their souls.

“Don’t worry; I won’t let the world you created be destroyed,” Yorticia vowed.

Originally, Yorticia’s plan was to sit quietly and wait to die.

However, she found herself bored to death in just a few months without Liam to keep her entertained.

With nothing to do, She thought of conquering the world as to pass the time.

Under her influence, she killed anyone who opposed her rule.

With her overwhelming strength, unless a highly experienced marksman could hit her, she remained invulnerable.

Yorticia didn’t know why she was different, to make her so strong.

She seemed to be different from the other aboriginals of this world.

This was also her only hope of ever meeting Liam and the others again.

She bet and wished that after her death, in the afterlife, she could reunite with him.

…

A few more years passed, and with Yorticia’s domineering style, the world bowed under her control.

Without the examinees, no one could challenge her authority.

Under her dictatorship, the subterranean world became closer and more magnificent.

Year after year, various technologies were invented and produced.

After decades, they were finally able to create a device that could isolate solar stone from absorbing heat.

With this technology, they found and mined all the solar stones they could find in the world.

Without the heat absorbed by the solar stone, the world returned to normal, and life began to thrive.

After a few decades, seeing the ground become livable again, mass migration began.

With the technology accumulated in the subterranean world, the surface world also prospered.

Under the conscientious care of the people, the world transformed into a paradise.

To commemorate her past, Yorticia named the world the Promised World.

…

A hundred years passed, and Yorticia was already over 200 years old.

Standing at the hibernation station, a look of nostalgia filled Yorticia’s aging eyes.

Even though she was regarded as the immortal empress by the world, she couldn’t escape the cruelty of time.

“Baby Liam~ It’s finally my time…” Yorticia smiled as she slowly touched the hibernation pod.

“I hope you don’t forget me, or I’ll bite you to death.”

“Also, that bitch Amara better be treating you well.”

“No, it’s better not, so you will leave that woman and come to me…”

Yorticia began to mutter as she reminisced about the past.

During all these hundreds of years, it seemed that Liam had become imprinted in her mind.

Every second, every minute, all she thought about was Liam.

She didn’t know what charm that “pretty boy” had used on her to make her so obsessed.

Feeling that her life was running out, she smiled wryly.

She only hoped that her premonition was true and that she would meet Liam again.

Slowly closing her eyes, she gathered all her strength to mutter one last word.

“Liam, I’m coming…”
