Chapter 769: Increasing the Security Level

“I’m off, Luna.”

“Mn, be safe out there. Return as soon as you can.” 

“Yes, my dear wife.” Raven chuckled as he gave her a kiss. 

After this, Raven stepped out of the Sky Palace and promptly disappeared. Several moments later, Raven appeared at the Spatial Vacuum just above the Grand Ancestral Plane. He stood straight and looked down on his world with a pondering expression. 

It has been seven years and a few months since they six of them returned home. Many things occurred since their return yet it still not entirely done just yet. 

Since the evolution of the Grand Ancestral Plane into a Empyrean World/Plane, its whole appearance changed and it expanded greatly as well. 

From where Raven was standing, the Final Haven Empire was a mere dot compared to vastness of their current world. There’s still many ways for the Empire to get better at but at the rate they’re growing, it shouldn’t difficult for them to eventually truly conquer this world. 

Raven went out for an important reason. 

The stabilization of the world was done and the cool down period has passed, meaning that the world can endure another round of improvements again. 

No, Raven wasn’t planning on evolving the world any further. Although that would be nice, he lacks the ability to do that on his own currently. What he can do though, is to increase it’s security even just for a bit. 

At its base, the Grand Ancestral Plane is already created with defense mechanisms in place. It is isolated, it doesn’t permit any outsiders in and only people who are born from the world can return to it. Which isn’t bad but it can be better…which is precisely why Raven is here currently. 

Taking out the Brush of Wisdom, Raven began to work. Streaks of golden and silver light emerged from the tip of the brush, converging into tiny runes which isn’t visible to the naked eye. 

These tiny runes fused with the world without anybody noticing it. The people can’t sense it but the world sure can. 

It had to be known that each of these tiny runes are compressed. Though they may not look impressive, each of this runes consists of millions of basic runes following an intricate pattern which made each one unique. And each tiny runes arranged themselves into a unique formation that enhances the security of their world. 

First and foremost, Raven decided to enhance what’s already there for the security of the world. He solidified the foundations of each security measures, making sure to fill out any gaps that can be used as a loophole. 

Strengthening the first level of security makes it even harder to discover where the world is located. With Raven’s enhancement, any maps or tracking artifacts – no matter how strong the artifact is, won’t be able to pinpoint the exact location of the world. In fact, even if they were standing at the space where the world is located, they won’t sense anything. 

For the second level, any outsiders – no matter what cultivation level they posses, who tries to force their way into their world, will be met with the world’s wrath. The retaliation of an Empyrean World is no joke, even Empyrean’s themselves won’t casually shrug those off. And since this is Raven who’s beefing up the security, not even Divinities are safe. 

As for the third level of security, he made it easier for those who were born in this world to sense the location of their world. He made a rune which sends out a subliminal message containing the world’s spatial coordinates to the unconscious mind of their people in order to do this. 

Additionally, he made sure that in case of an accident, i.e. someone betraying their world appears, everyone will know who it is so that they can promptly deal with them. This is just a counter-measure for extreme situations. Hopefully, this will never be used but one can never truly know.

In addition to the first three security measures, Raven added two more. 

He wasn’t against outsiders discovering their home, provided that they were nice people to begin with. So with that in mind, he gave the consciousness of the world an ability to peer through someone’s intentions. If they’re morally good, they can be allowed in as a guest, if they’re not, then they’re not welcomed. 

The final measure he added was an opportunity for the world to evolve even further. He made it so that the Grand Ancestral Plane can devour any dying world and use their essence to fuel it’s growth or sustain its lifespan. 

Of course, he made sure that consent was given first before the predation occurs. If the dying world still has people, they’ll be adopted as the plane’s citizens. 

It isn’t much but it’ll go a long way. Plus, it’s not like they would encounter a dying world very often anyways so it’s all good.

The process of enhancing and enforcing the new level of security lasted for a whole month. On top of that, it’ll take at most a year before the changes were applied for good so Raven left it as it is. Waiting was the easiest part after all. 

Still, he wasn’t quite done yet. Just for an additional measure, Raven created an improved version of the 33-layered seal on the atmosphere of this world. After finishing that in no time, Raven was satisfied. He returned to the world to continue with his vacation. 

—

Raven really wanted to give himself a pat in the back for placing Silence Runes all over the Sky Palace…

With how loud both him and Luna is during their love-making session, it was quite possible for their voices to reach the Empire. 

‘Broke the damn bed…again…’ Raven groaned as he panted. 

The two of them were catching their breath after a vigorous round of their love-making. Luna was resting on top of him as he gently caressed her hair…his other hand was still squeezing her ass. 

“Are you…getting impatient?” Raven asked hesitantly once he caught his breath. He couldn’t help but ask her this question given the fact that Luna was a bit eager these past few days. 

“…no it’s not like that.” Luna replied, burrowing her face on his neck. 

Raven raised a brow and asked: “You were very eager these past few days…what’s up with that?”

“…” Luna didn’t speak. Instead she just hid her face even more. 

Raven looked at his wife suspiciously for a moment. His thoughts raced and it didn’t take long before he got another idea. 

“Ahhhh….okay I get it.”  He laughed heartily, much to Luna’s embarrassment. 

“Shut it.” 

“Oh come on, don’t be shy.” Raven chuckled, “It’s normal. I mean…it’s good to be energetic. I like it. I love it actually.”

“Asshole.” 

“Is that an invitation?”

“Stoooop!” Luna whined, currently feeling really embarrassed. 

Raven laughed uproariously. Luna kept on hiding her face to no avail. She doesn’t know how charming this was for her husband. 

Rolling on the bed, Raven picked Luna up and decided to go out of their room. He went towards the balcony while carrying her. Neither of them were clothed at this moment.

Luna’s cheeks turned rosy from shyness but she didn’t protested. She just allowed her husband to do as he pleases. 

Once they’re out in an open space, they felt the cool breeze of winds kicking up and caressing their naked bodies. They weren’t cold due to their natural resistances. If anything, this act felt liberating for the two of them. 

Luna caught her husband staring at her. His gaze never left her from the moment he picked her up. She felt shy but also warm and fuzzy. Raven sat on a chair with Luna on his lap, he put a hand on her face and said:

“I love you.” 

Luna shivered upon hearing his heartfelt words and from feeling a stiff rod poking her from behind. Raven leaned forward and planted a loving kiss on her lips. Luna felt like she was melting. 

Their bodies were wrapped around each other, not a trace of clothing separates them. Hearts beating as one and the warmth of their love warming them up in this cold night. Luna pulled back from their kiss and replied:

“I love you too.” 

She bridged the gap this time and kissed Raven back. As the heat of the moment drowned the two of them, Raven slid inside of his wife with one smooth motion, causing her to let out a surprised but please gasp in between their kisses. 

Once again, Raven felt like patting his back for making sure that the Sky Palace was surrounded with an isolating formation. It allowed them to be this adventurous while preventing any additional pair of eyes from witnessing them. 

As their hearts surged with this incredible feeling of merging, their minds became covered in haze. All they could see, hear and think about were each other and nothing else. They felt drunk in this state. 

Under the gentle rays of moonlight. The couple filled the Sky Palace with the sound of their lustful hums.
