Eight years passed in the blink of an eye, the fairies of Frozen Cloud Asgard advanced by leaps and bounds, the weakest is a Throne in the ten level and the strongest is in the nine level of the sovereign profound realm; Xia Qingyue is a First Level Sovereign, right know she has twelve years and only four more years until jasmine descend to this planet.
lso in this time I went and explore the Devil plane in the Azure Profound Continent more exact in the End's Cliff. I went alone to check the actual seal, and I discovered that more than a seal is a passeway to the Devil's Plane. I decided to not enter because to conquer that place I need the strength of Minamoto Raiko, she is an anti-devil and anti-divine heroine and she will be extremely helpful. Shuten is also a very wise option, with her Noble Phantasm so I will need to think this very thoroughly after all I can't summon the heroes without their card and only Mama Raiko is the one that gave me her card, together with Martha and Jeane.
My relation with Mordred advanced more and right know I can assure you she doesn't loose in body and beauty with Arturia. She is tall like Arturia and her assets are almost the same, also I discovered something very interesting, it seems that Mordred is more like a clone of Arturia (Altria); Morgan Le Fay took the seed of Arturia in the past and tried to combine her egg with the seed of Arturia but that was a failure, Merlin told me that Morgan was an exceptionally mage with a lot of talent in body construction, so she took the seed of Arthur again and using Palingenesis she incubate an Humunculus with the genes of Arturia,that homunculus became Mordred and well the rest is story.
When I told them my discovery Arturia and Mordred where dumfounded by the revelation because with these they don't have a relation of Daughter and "Father" the relation is more like they are sisters or twin sisters in a way, that's why when Wugou asked if they were sisters I answer her "yes".
At first the relation that in a start was like parents and sons, became of sisters so they were a little reluctant but after a few years they started to treat themselves like sisters. And for a very strange reason Mordred was encouraging Arturia about something… 'I don't want to think what the reason is'
We continued to train the girls of frozen cloud and occasionally I will take them to fight a lot of profound beasts in the Ark, in that place exist a lot of profound beasts that are in no way weak. With the help of Hong'er we were watching the girls struggle against a beast in the sovereign realm and after a lot of effort they beat it. The poison in Hong'er is almost cured and right now she can take her sword form. I'm not very good with giant swords so I asked her if she could take a form more compact. In the end she took the form of an Odachi sword, is a lot larger that I'm accustomed but more easily to wield. So I put all my armor and swords to the gate of Babylon and took a Dark Blue Armor that's almost the same as the Prowler Armor in DA Inquisition.
The armor and my looks that for some kind of reason differ from Charlemagne make me more handsome in the words of every female that I've met. I asked Moon about the changes and it told me thatthe same mater can't exist in the same time and space, so when I asked my wish Mother Nature meddle with my genes and make me different from him.
Like that another 3 years passed and only a few months are left before jasmine descends. In that time I noticed that thanks to my intervention, the Blue Empire changed a lot because they took Xiao Che as a disciple of the Blue wind empire and because he was a "genius" he was granted with the hand of Princess Cang Yue. With him in the blue empire they have a serious chance of taking the first place in the Blue Wind Tournament because he is in the fifth level of Earth Profound Realm. They will puke blood when they know that the weakest of the disciples here are in the Tyrant Profound Realm'
Yue Wugou also recovered all her strength so she now has the power of a eighth level of Divine King Realm, her husband and child are in the ninth level of Sovereign Realm because Yuanba drank the Berserker potion and became a Sovereign in one go! The two of her parents were shocked and decided to train him very hard, he became a customer in Ars Paulina and I never failed to entertain my customers, so I killed him almost ten seconds after every death to make him stronger.
Also very important is my status and of my companions

I revised the status of Mordred, Arturia and me making me aware that we are stronger that we tough, something that made me very awkward is that Arturia is making advances on me and Mordred is only cheering from the side lines.I don't know what happened or why happened but thanks to our current strength we are young and they are beautiful, so I can't say that I don't want to have the two of them as my wives.
But thinking about these I noticed that I have a fiancée in the demon realm and that she is the Empress! Mordred dropped that bomb when we were dinning
"Right Lucius, I already have other candidates to be your wife, Arturia and also Caiyi." (Mordred)
I was in the floor having a seizure, a stroke and a heart attack at the same moment. Mordred and Arturia panicked and after a few moments I regained my conscious; when I woke up I remember her words and after a very long moment I could only sigh…
"Ok, I accept from the bottom of my heart and also I will do everything in my power to make you all happy, but right now is not the time for that so I think we need to wait a few more years what you think? Also Arturia I like you very much, you are one hell of a woman and I know that you also have feelings for me. I didn't do anything because I don't wanted to destroy your family but if the two of you are ok with this, I will gladly accept… about Caiyi well the matter is already settled so I will look for her and marry her." (Lucius)
"YAY! I will no longer be alone! I will have with me more people and other thing it seems that the little girl has something for you including Yuechan. Although they are weak right now and will be more like a burden to you I told them that they need to become stronger because you like that your wives are strong, so I told them that they have at most 2 more years to reach the divine origin realm." (Mordred)
I could only sigh again about what is happening; don't misunderstand I like every one of them and I realy want to be with them but a relation of being husband and wife isn't something that you could do in one nigth, it needs to be nurtured all the time. So I will take my time to make the things right and chase after them, after all the man is the one that needs to propose.
Three more months I told the girls that I need to go somewhere because I want to be stronger, taking Vimana I departed to the Sacred Grounds of the Phoenix and the Dragon God. Traveling at the speed of thought I reached first the Wasteland of Death, making my way I found the trial grounds of the Azure Dragon.
I reached the center of the Wasteland and found a cave that has two flood dragons, I released a little of my energy and the two escaped far away. Maybe because I released my energy, the soul form of the Azure Dragon make its appearance, two enormous blue eyes were looking at me and with an ancestral voice it started to speak
"Welcome challenger, you are the one hundred and twenty nine member of the human race that set foot in this place. If you want to be my inheritor you need to pass my trial by fire. It consists of three trials in total and you need to pass each one of them to receive my inheritance." (Azure Dragon)
I'm looking at the soul of the Dragon God and I made my mind, so I answer him.
"I accept the challenge!" (Lucius)
With that words the soul send me to the first trial; two stone warriors with the strength of a divine king ten level were presented, I looked at them and for the very first time I took Gram in my right hand and in the left I have Hong'er in her Odachi form.
When gram make its appearance, the soul of the dragon God tremble at the feeling of death that the sword is giving. The stone dragon warriors were rendered useless in front of Gram because this sword of mine can make every single dragon or people with a dragon bloodline to tremble besides its other name is Dragon Slaying Sword; Gram is on par with Excalibur the two of them are divine construct but Excalibur has an aura of Holiness instead Gram is a demonic weapon that can slay everything in existence, only Ea is superior and that's something that Gilgamesh lend me very reluctantly.
I advanced in the trial making my way to the stone general, dispatching him very easily I finished the first trial.
"You pass the trial, the next trial you need to kill 99,999 profound beast within one year"
The escenary changed again and right now I'm standing in an endless wasteland, from the horizon I can see that thousands of beast are making their way to me. Smirking I summoned Vimana and commanded it to float very high. At about ten kilometers in high I decided to use something very rare in a cultivation novel.
"Experience the might of Science HAHAHAHAHAHA" I opened the gate of Babylon and started to drop WMDs to the profound beasts.
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Booom.
In less than five minutes every single beast was converted in dust. The power of a WMD is no joke! I never saw with my two eyes the power of a WMD, it seems the dragon god was also trying to understand what happened, only two hours are passed from the moment that I set foot in this place!
"…The third trial, will taste your character"
The scenery changed again but this time I'm standing in my office back on earth, before me my children are kneeling and asking forgiveness because they make a mistake and loose everything, also I have a fire gun in my hand and something was telling me to kill my own children. Throwing the weapon I kneeled in front of my children and help them to stand I told them.
"Maybe we lose everything, our money, houses, cars, cloths, etc. but we never loose what is more important. Maybe is true that I'm angry but I also know that you are my children, we have life and that is something very important, because with life we can stand again and correct our mistakes. So don't falter and live well my children I will always look for you" (Lucius)
With those words I saw how the illusion was dispelled, after a few moments I wiped my tears and with a bow I give my thanks to the Azure Dragon. I always say that you can bow once to someone that make you a favor and I always in my heart wanted to see again my family that where on earth.
"Thank you Azure Dragon for letting me see again my children, with these I can finally be at ease with my old family" (Lucius)
"With this you passed the three trials, and I accept your thanks, I also I'm a father and want to see my daughter again sigh…" (Azure Dragon)
"You really want to see again your daughter? If your answer is yes I can help you" I said those words very serious. I was a father in my other life and in this I also want to be father again. So I know what it means to no longer saw your children.
The soul of the Dragon God saw me with an intense glare and with a serious voice he says
"Are you sure? If you really have the means to let me see again my daughter I will give you everything including my soul domain, bone marrow and nine drops of my blood" (Azure Dragon)
I summoned Ars Paulina and called Golden Crow, she makes her way from Avalon and was standing in front of us. It seems that she has recovered a lot of her strength and is in the Divine Master Realm only a step away of the Divine extinction realm. The dragon god saw the soul of the Golden Crow and with shock in his voice he asked her.
"How is possible that you are alive?! You died almost at the same time than me in the tribulation that year!" (Azure Dragon)
"HUMP! Old lizard, long time not seeing each other. And the answer in this place we can be revived in time. So right now I'm here recuperating my strength because in the future I will go to the god realm and cause destruction to those traitors!" (Golden Crow)
Azure Dragon was visible shocked and without a second though he accepted my deal and only told him the same rules that I told Golden Crow. He gave me his soul essence, blood marrow and nine drops of dragon blood. I blend them with my profound core and this last absorbed everything very easily.
Leaving the trial ground I make my way to the Phoenix Trials and the same happened with her. I passed her trials and gave her the same opportunity, something that she accepted.
When I was traveling the different places collecting the Devil Seeds, I recived a notification that Jasmine is about to descend. Making my way to Vimana I went to the Xiao Clan in the city and after a few more hours I realize that a spatial crack is forming, from the crack I look a girl dressed in white with a lot of injuries and very weak; I approached her but I took notice that the crack isn't closing. Inspecting more I notice that two more figures exit the space crack and finally it close.
Looking at the three bodies I almost wanted to curse someone but I remember that this people died in the Moon God Realm, and that place was destroyed. Cursing at those idiots (Gilgamesh and Tiamat) I took them to the temple of Solomon and using Mitridathum I cured the person more seriously injured with poison. Mittridathum is the super antidote for every kind of poison in existence and before knowing the three of them awakened. The first to awaken was a handsome man, the other was a beautiful middle aged woman and the last the little girl with a fiery red hair.
The three of them where looking at their surroundings and only after a few moments of being muddleheaded they saw me.
The Young man was the first to spoke and he asked me.
"What is this place? Who are you?" (???)
I only looked at him very coldly, what kind of manners are these! Her parents never teach him manners?! Maybe the woman saw my look of disgust when she hurriedly spoke
"I'm sorry for the behavior of my son! He only wants to protect us after being betrayed by our trusted ones" (???)
With a bow the woman make the young man to bow his head and after knowing that I'm not an enemy the young man spoke again
"I'm sorry for my rude behavior. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and if you could please tell us what happened when we were unconscious?"
I told them that I was traveling when I saw a space crack and suddenly three bodies were laying before me, also I told them.
"I need to tell you something, yours injuries are cured and most of the poison in your body is expelled but the antidote needs time to take effect so I can only put you in a place that will help you to recover your strength. if you didn't notice, your strength is low in these moments and without my help you are destined to die in the end." (Lucius)
"Thank you sir, my name is Xi Su this is my mother ---"
"I don't have a name, the last was destroyed when I was betrayed so you could call me with the name Zhurong"
"Yeah… and this is my little sister Jasmine" (Xi Su)
The little girl was looking at her surroundings and only withdraw her sight when she heard that she was being called. With a bow she spoke
"Thanks for saving us" (Jasmine)
"My name is Lucius, Lucius Adricus and right now you need to enter a special place to recover, I hope that you understand" I told them that and summoning the Sky Poison Pearl I took them inside, in there exist a vast space with a lot of the things that Hong'er used. After that I leave Ars Paulina and with a sigh
"Sigh… now I need to take care of three people instead of one, I hope they don't become a burden or I will need to kill them…"
With a heavy mood I returned to the arms of my wife and I'm waiting the start of the Blue Wind Tournament.
