Chapter 1776 Heavenly God Plane [2]
It hadn't been that long since Damien last saw his wives when looked at from their perspective.
Sure, he spent ten years raising August and whatnot, but in the original time flow, only a little bit of time had passed since Damien and his family took a break from the world to enjoy their time together.
However, when it came to having a child, Damien was always hesitant.
There were several factors influencing his decision to wait.
First off, the state of the world.
It was too chaotic on a large scale to selfishly bring a child into this world. To be raised in an era of chaos could be a boon for some, but Damien wanted his children to experience peace.
Secondly, his own state.
As he was too busy dealing with the fate of the world, he barely even had time to spend with his wives. They were all pursuing their own ambitions at the moment, so he couldn't even see them when he returned.
If any of them had a child, then the rest would obviously want the same. Not only would this put a halt to the things they worked so hard on, but wouldn't it leave his children with an absentee father?
He wanted to be in their lives supporting them. He didn't want to be a father that they only saw every few months or years.
He could go on to a third, fourth, or even fifth reason, but they didn't matter. These two were enough to solidify his decision to wait and have children after everything had been solved.
It was definitely respectable. Rose wasn't going to force him into having a child that he couldn't also enjoy raising.
However, he had to think about it from her perspective as well.
She had been with him for over a hundred years at this point. All that time, she stood by his side and loved him without wanting anything in return.
Obviously, he loved her back just the same, but she was often the one who had to respect his wishes and put her own to the side as he was dealing with such important matters.
She understood his concern. She knew exactly why he was holding back.
But, she at least wanted him to consider it.
Gods took much longer than humans to give birth, as the baby needed to be supplied with mana and talent as well as the foundational elements of life. By the time that child was born, wouldn't Damien already have the time?
In the situation where that child never gained sentience, then wasn't it the same whether they had one or not?
Regardless, if Damien lost, the True Void Universe would turn to ash and that child would never have to suffer the pain of losing its existence.
Rose wanted to carry that child. It was something she'd been dreaming about for a very long time.
Unlike the others, she only trained for the sake of it. Her real dream in life was ordinary. She wanted to stay at home, raise her kids, and live a life like the people she saw when she went to Earth for the first time.
Their small mundane lives were ideal to her. They were filled with a kind of beauty that she was never able to experience as the child of a royal clan.
Rose did take Damien hostage for the next few nights. Her urge to have a child wasn't the only one that went unsatisfied over all these years, after all.
However, she left the decision to him. She only wanted to put the thought in the head for him to seriously consider now that he was already experienced in fatherhood.
In essence, Rose was jealous.
She wanted her and Damien's first parenting experience to happen together. More than that, she wanted his first child to be hers.
Obviously, when it came to biology, she could still hold that title. But she never wanted to exclude August, who was her son by default, from their family.
That held true even though she'd never actually met him before.
Damien was hoping that the Heavenly God Plane would open sooner rather than later, but as he sensed the changes in the world, he realized that it was still several days away.
As such, he spent the rest of his time with Rose. She told him about what Elena, Ruyue, and Iris were up to these days. She also let him know where they were so he could visit them when he was free.
It seemed that all of them were making unbelievable progress.
Iris had raised an influence with similar strength to a great clan in a matter of a decade.
Elena had chased her lineage to its core truths and was currently working on rebuilding the foundation of the Valkyrie Race in the Heavenly World.
Ruyue hadn't yet conquered her quest to find her emotions, but she had already started to see a miraculous change that she didn't think was possible. Slowly but surely, she found herself experiencing sensation in a different way than she had ever since she ascended to Divinity.
It had been ten years, so her progress didn't seem that great, but she was fighting against a binding vow of heaven. It wasn't an easy task to regain the emotions she sacrificed for power.
Damien wanted to see them all immediately, but he refrained. He only went to see Iris and spent a day with her.
As for Elena and Ruyue, he was planning to visit them after the Heavenly God Plane's matters. He didn't want to take their attention away from what they were doing quite yet.
After all, he was back now, and his Existence was affecting the Heavenly World.
He purely and utterly wished for their good fortune, so he knew the universe would respond and give them a fulfilling gift.
The three nights were spent with Rose, but the daytime was occupied by Dante.
He and Damien sparred, talked, and spent time together. They, who had always wanted to be a part of each other's lives, were making the most of this little respite.
Damien learned a lot about Existence from Dante. Though he had a higher comprehension of the concept itself, Dante had been using it for longer so he knew some tips and tricks that helped Damien learn to experiment properly with the power he had.
Basically, he fully prepared himself to ascend to Godhood in these three days, raising all of his abilities to their peak states.
The opening of the Heavenly God Plane was a big moment for the cosmos. It was rare for a secret realm to be specifically geared towards Divinities. When an opportunity like this appeared, all of them were rushing to take a hold of it.
There wasn't an "opening," per se. The Heavenly God Plane was a realm entirely disconnected from the plane that the cosmos resided on.
Instead, when that moment came, the Divinities in the True Void Universe and the Divinities in the Sacred Abyss that was connected at its hip received a sort of message.
It appeared in their minds, shining in golden light and sparkling as if it was made with fairy dust.
"Do you wish to enter the Heavenly God Plane?"
All they had to do was answer yes.
Every single person who answered "Yes" to the prompt was promptly transported out of the Heavenly World.
Including our very own beloved protagonist, Damien Void.
