Another month passed. It was the seventh month since the Covenant was established.
Davis got out of seclusion and exhaled. His undulations slowly reverberated out of him at the moment of relaxation.
Coincidentally, Shea was just passing through with Sheria in hand and Arc in her embrace.
"Father!~"
"Sheria!"
Sheria ran to Davis and pounced on him, causing Davis to catch her mid-air and swing her around. They both smiled widely and laughed before he brought her close and hugged her with all his heart.
"My Sheria is cute as ever. You have grown a lot, unbelievable…"
"Hehe, I'm eight years old now~"
"Oh?"
He pulled back his head from Sheria lightly and glanced at her golden hair. Her eyes were also deeply reminiscent of Shea as they possessed the same eye shape. Her facial features were also closer to him. He let her down and saw that she had grown from ninety centimeters to a hundred and eighteen centimeters tall this year.The last time he had seen her was two months ago. At that time, she was around a hundred centimeters tall, but in these past two or three months, she seemed to have gone into time chambers to grow fast.
He imagined a lot of his children had grown too fast in the past two months, making his heart long to see them.
He had heard that the time chamber aging would last until they were all of similar age or thirteen years old, whichever is sooner. It was a decision that the harem council came to. From Eterna to Lucian, over seven siblings, namely Eterna, Celestia, Aurelia, Sheria, Azariel, Viridia, and Lucian, will all be of similar ages, and they will be the eldest siblings of the first generation.
This decision was made to allow them to play with each other and have a sense of camaraderie since the age difference disallowed them from being together. After all, while the eldest children were cultivating, the little siblings rarely got a chance to interact with them.
Now, whether it is cultivating or playing, they can all do it in the same space and grow together. Because they were adamant about wanting to see a few other children like Ace Alstreim, Ermin Alstreim, Evan, and Laura, they were also included with the consent of their parents.
After all, growing together with fellow geniuses wasn't a bad thing.
Shea oversaw all of them from outside since her presence would affect the speed of the temporal acceleration. However, the ones who took care of them inside the time chamber were none other than Diana and Claire and a lot of other teachers like Ancestor Cornelia and Ancestor Tirea Snow.
They were paid big time for this job.
Claire was not there mostly since she also had a child recently. He had yet to meet his new sibling, which made him feel guilty, but they all understood he was busier than everyone in the mini-realm. They didn't disturb him for anything, but Davis still felt guilty that he had missed over four years of his children's lives.
So he could understand Sheria's intense emotions when she jumped towards him.
He also wanted to spend time with Sheria and the others.
Unfortunately, he could not spend time with them unless he used the Realm Core to create a temporal acceleration zone. Otherwise, if he intruded on their time chambers, the temporal formations would break. ŕANоᛒĚS
Even Shea wasn't allowed inside that she had to wait for the children to come out, but once they were outside, she thoroughly spoiled them. Evelynn and the others also occasionally waited outside. It was like they were receiving them from school.
"Husband~" Shea called out with affectionate emotions, "You have entered Level Seven Immortal Emperor Stage. Congratulations~"
"My lovely Shea."
Davis leaned and kissed her lips lightly. He would've been more passionate if Sheria and Arc hadn't been here. He pecked her on the lips and kissed her forehead for a long time as he embraced her before looking down at Arc and grinning at him.
"Sweet little Arc. Where's your mother?" He pulled on his cheek and chuckled.
Arc pouted as he looked away. He was barely a year old, but he had quite the attitude.
"This little rascal…"
"He's exactly like you~" Shea giggled, "Just look at how he reacts every time someone tries to spoil him except his mother. He acts arrogant and confident as though everything is beneath him."
"Haha. You sure got that right." Davis pulled on Arc's cheeks more, causing Arc to glare with his cute and bright sapphire eyes.
However, he didn't raise his voice as though standing his ground.
"Fiora is busy after entering the Immortal Emperor Stage. You know she is competitive, so she gave Arc to me today to take care of him for three days. I said I could do it for an entire week."
"I see." Davis nodded.
"You won't get angry, right?"
"Why would I?" Davis appeared amused.
He felt it was fine for mothers to take leave by giving them to their sisters or him. After entering Level Seven Immortal Emperor Stage, he also needed to consolidate his cultivation, so he was thinking of spending a lot of time with his children for the next few weeks.
He explained it to Shea, and she nodded and grabbed his arm affectionately. He gave Arc back to her, lifted Sheria up in his arms, and kissed her cheeks, causing her to giggle incessantly. Like a family of four, they walked together towards the hall.
"I apologize I haven't been able to see you after our seven days together."
"It's not a problem." Shea shook her head, "I'm aware of how busy you are. I doubted you dual cultivated with others during this time…"
"…"
"Even if you did, it's not a problem." Shea cutely smiled, but Davis sensed a hint of possessive emotions in her.
He was glad she was finally starting to show her selfish side or he would really have to relegate her to being the kindest and selfless goddess in his family.
Shea then told him about the family's current state of affairs. He listened as they walked, and once they arrived in the hall, he listened more while playing with Sheria and Arc. Soon, the others also came out one by one once they sensed his presence.
Over thirteen wives joined them in the hall. Esvele began to prepare a feast, and they had a fine evening.
Once that was done, Davis excused himself and went to Isabella. He arrived at her quarters and looked into her chamber and saw that she was cultivating so he didn't disturb her. Instead, he looked at the grayish-azure cocoon in the other chamber.
'Mira still hasn't awakened, huh…'
Davis wondered why it took so long for Mira to transform.
Was it because chaotic-attributed beings were so rare?
He wondered if he did right by Mira since it seemed like she was going to need a lot of energy to grow.
'Perhaps only the Ream Core could provide us with something like that…'
Davis felt like he had to queue Mira in the list of those who wanted to reach the Empyrean Stage by using the Realm Core's ability. However, the queue was extremely long. Since it was long, Isabella also didn't want to disturb others and wanted Mira to naturally transform. Hastening the process without doing it the right way would leave some sequela or botch it, after all.
He left Isabella's quarters and headed towards the intelligence department, where Mingzhi and Nightveil stayed.
"Davis~"
Mingzhi stood up and yelled out excitedly. She walked towards him, but Davis swiftly disappeared and reappeared in front of her. They passionately exchanged a deep kiss.
Once they were done, he saw her look at him with a satisfied gaze before she looked down and caressed her stomach.
"I'm due in two months."
"That's great!"
Davis smiled brightly before he kissed her lips again to share the joy. At the same time, he lifted her up carefully and spun her slowly, causing her to laugh lightly.
They settled down a few seconds later, and Mingzhi told him Lea was also due in two months. Apparently, they were timing it together by using time chambers.
