The next ten minutes after the illumination phenomenon happened, the mother and daughter kept their eyes closed while they were sitting cross-legged on the floor, their expressions changed from time to time, but it was easy to tell they were being serious right now.

Aster clenched his fists, he practically used the best of the best he could get for them, and made it as easy as it was possible for them to absorb it, but all was purely theory, in practice, a lot of things can go wrong.

“Mm?”, Aster suddenly felt a familiar but not pleasant sensation above them, he raised his head and his eyes glowed as he looked through the roof at the sky above the mansion, where a few clouds suddenly gathered.

Mylene and Eris also noticed it, but they smiled and approached Aster before saying.𝑜𝔳𝐿xt.𝗇𝓔t

“Don’t worry, that’s just the heavens being petty, but you haven’t broken any law, so they can’t punish you~”, said Mylene.

“Mm”, Eris simply nodded as she agreed with her friend.

Aster let out a sigh of relief, the last thing the girls needed was to be attacked by the lightning he had to deal with back at the secret realm in Esmeralda’s castle.

His face relaxed when he saw the clouds “unwillingly” dispersing, Aster exploited a “flaw” in the restrictions of the this Heavenly Quadrant, where nothing above the Heavenly Conqueror realm should exist.

The rules only restricted everything whose realm had gone past that limit, but potential couldn’t be restricted, that’s why instead of getting the blood of a Heavenly Conqueror spirit beast, he used the one of Ley and the other members of the Storm Roc family, in terms of cultivation they were still in the mortal realms, so there was no problem.

Of course that would normally produce a not so good result, as the potential of their lineage might be high, but their blood has yet to reach the purity of the Heavenly Conqueror realm, so Aster refined it to its limit, which allowed him to get both the maximum purity allowed but a potential that surpassed the mortal realm while still being in it.

‘Last time that lightning caused me some trouble… I need to put some focus on completing “that”, for this kind of situations, just wait till my next breakthrough’, thought Aster.

His attention was then drawn at the pair of mother and daughter, whose faces suddenly turned into peaceful smiling ones.

Their bodies then exploded in spirit energy, Kana’s side bloomed in a pretty light green light, grass and small flowers started appearing on the ground near her, similar to what happened in the secret realm.

To Aster’s surprise she didn’t advance, but her aura did increase, apparently the impulse they got in cultivation was completely directed to the developing of their wings, because all the increase was then reversed as a pretty pair of wings appeared on her back.

Unlike Lilia’s black wings which were charming but looked rather imposing resembling those of demons from the myths Aster read back at earth, as they were featherless.

Kana’s wings not only weren’t as large, but their form was different, the feathers had leaf-like patterns and they had different shades of green as their color, combined with the Kana’s blond hair and her innocent face, she looked like a little fairy indeed.

Surprisingly Kana was the first one to finish her awakening, she opened her eyes and smiled at Aster before her wings flapped, then under everyone’s surprised eyes, she literally disappeared from their fights.

Aster’s eyes widened a bit, even he couldn’t see where she was, until he felt a soft breeze brushing his short and then Kana’s little figure appeared out of a small whirlwind, before she hugged Aster.

“I can surprise big brother now~”, she cutely said while she rubbed her face against Aster’s chest.

And she was right, what Kana just did, reminded him of that technique Ley’s sister used to escape, she turned into countless gusts of wind, but it was different at the same time, that woman’s wind was visible, there were a lot of them yes, but Aster could still see them, it’s just that he couldn’t locate the real body.

But with Kana was different, she vanished into thin air, the Storm Roc is a spirit beast made out of flesh and blood, it might have wind attribute and a really strong one, but it’s not made out of it.

A phoenix and its subdivision the luans on the other hand, are ethereal, their bodies are conformed by an agglomeration of their respective attribute and other energies, such as ying or yang depending on the case.

Aster smiled as he patted Kana’s head, after rubbing her face against him, she actually fell asleep, her wings then dispersed into countless of green light particles, which were absorbed back into her body.

His attention then focused on the mother, Sarina took more time to finish, her eyes suddenly opened, she got up from the floor and then just with Kana, her aura increased before it was all reversed as a pair of wings appeared on her back.

Sarina’s wings were completely different to Kana’s, the feathers were larger and even looked slightly sharp, but their pretty color tones looked like a mix between white and ash red, they looked elegant but imposing at the same time.

Also, Aster noticed that the ground below Sarina’s feet, had started to decompose and turn into that ash red mist he has seen her use before, it was being absorbed by her wings with each second that passed.

‘One can change into her element and the other can change other things into her attribute, complementing abilities but with different elements’, thought Aster.

Sarina tried to walk, but as she was not used to have wings, she flapped and her body flashed towards Aster, who softly laughed and received her with his arms wide open, while his soul energy was keeping Kana attached to him.

“I’ll become stronger soon…mm~”, Sarina’s words were interrupted by Aster gently kissing her.

He then poked her nose, and caressed her pretty face.

“You can think of that later, for now go to rest, okay?”.

Sarina saw the worry which was just leaving Aster’s face, after both of them had safely made it through the awakening process and her heart skipped a beat, she had a cute daughter and a caring lover, what else could she ask for in this “second opportunity” life has given her.

“Mm, I’ll listen to husband~”, she cutely said before she hid her face on Aster’s chest, as she fall asleep a second later.

Aster looked at them and felt happy from the bottom of his heart, but as he was about to take them to the room so that they could rest on the bed, Aster felt something different in the mind space.

At first he thought it was maybe the star that has started to show some reaction to Kana, but when he looked into it, he realized he was wrong, it was something he had honestly put aside for a long time.

“That is… Aurelian’s diary”.

The worn out book, which once allowed Aster to decipher that Mylene wasn’t the cosmos tree, apparently had another secret message to offer, as it was shining in green light.

Aster immediately took it out from the mind space, and as soon as the diary was out, it floated in front of Sarina and Kana, making those two actually wake up, then the diary started slowly disappearing into green particles of light, but in exchange the figure of a woman in his late twenties with green hair and eyes.

She looked like a mix of Sarina and Kana when she uses Esmeralda’s wind to look older, not to mention she had three pairs of green wings of about four meters.

“This entry was made by Neela Breezeheart, if you are seeing it, then both me and Annie are dead and you are the first descendants to awaken the royal lineage of our race, unfortunately I have no time, but I do have a gift for you, if you wish to, go look for our other family members, don’t trust on the Tempest family, they will try to capture you, to use your blood and flesh as a resource, I leave you one of my feathers to act as a map and key for all the things I once owned, if you get the chance, please bury my feather next to my mother’s grave”.

By the time the projection of the woman finished speaking, the book had fully consumed leaving behind a pretty feather, of about one meter large, it looked dazzling as it seemed to be made out of crystal.

Sarina extended her hand and grabbed the feather, both she and Kana had teary eyes, it wasn’t hard to see why, everyone could notice the sadness and frustration that flashed in the eyes of the woman in the projection.

She used to be a genius with the chance to advance more in the path to immortality, but her path was cut due to her own family’s greed, but that’s not why she had that expression, but because apparently one of the conditions for that projection to be played was for the other person mentioned “Annie”, to be dead.

Kana also touched the feather carefully, both of them felt a certain familiarity with it, as it belonged to their ancestor.

Mylene saw Sarina and Kana and she felt guilty, because in part she is the cause of Aurelian’s demise, though he could have continued living, the old man was tired of gatekeeping and when he found someone to whom he could trust his secrets, he finally decided to rest and voluntarily allowed the oath of silence he made to kill him, in exchange for saving the kingdom he created with his own hands so many years ago.

Kana saw Mylene’s sad expression and she let go of Aster and walked towards her, with a bright smile on her pretty face, before saying.

“Don’t feel bad sister Mylene, you told me you weren’t you back then, and apologized to grandpa Aurelian properly, I’m sure he will be happy that you are my friend now~”.

Mylene’s face softened, she patted Kana’s head, the little girl was the best when it comes to understanding how others felt.

Sarina kept the feather in her spatial ring and then she asked Aster to bring her and Kana to their room, they woke up due to that familiar sensation the feather made them feel, but were truly tired after the awakening process.

Aster beckoned at Kana and the little girl jumped towards him, hugging him tight, they then disappeared from the training room, and appeared inside their bedroom.

Aster accommodated both mother and daughter on the bed, he kissed their foreheads and gently tucked them.

“Goodnight you two”.

“Mm~”, Sarina cuddled with her daughter and they both peacefully entered the land of dreams.

Aster returned with the other girls and he was met with Lilia, who hugged him to comfort him.

“Whatever those two decide to do, they have out support, so don’t worry about it darling~”.

Aster nodded, before his gaze became cold.

“In any case, they aren’t going to give up in that stupid idea of using Kana as a sacrifice and I’m not going to let that happen, so me and them can’t live under the same sky, nothing has changed, I’m just more motivated to get rid of them”.

Alice giggled, she liked to see her brother’s serious side, the other girls also nodded, anyone who was willing to purposedly harm such a good girl as Kana for selfish reasons, wasn’t a decent person.

Mylene sighed, but Eris patted her shoulder.

‘You can’t change the past, but we are now “free” thanks to him, so nothing limits our future’, she said directly to her.

Mylene nodded as she stole a gaze at Aster.
