Chapter 979 Finding An Expected Situation

I clenched my two fists tightly to the limit. I felt numb and in pain there. I watched Lily caressing Angelica’s back for a few minutes before looking at me.

“She can’t help in such a state.”

It was indeed obvious!

“Let her rest… There then,” I was going to ask her to let Angelica rest in my chariot. But when I recalled that I’d move towards that pocket world to train, I changed my words and direction, aiming towards the distant cluster of cities and towns.

“We aren’t going in there right away, right?” Lily got what I was thinking about. And she gave me a meaningful look as she motioned towards her, “she might need extra care from someone she cherished to get over this.”

And when I didn’t get what she meant, she had to say it clearly in such a way that left me speechless.

Was she trying to get the two of us along? This was… Unexpected indeed!

But she got a point. I looked at the all shaking Angelica and couldn’t help but inwardly sigh.

“Go then,” I waved my hand for her to leave, “you know what you have to do, right?”

Lily slowly stood up, letting Angelica all alone in front of me, “I’m going to handle things here. I’ll first deal with the forces of cultivation. Then will select the strongest to get ready to go to the southern continent. As for those without cultivation, I’ll start amassing them in batches and prepare them to go to the pocket world.”

“Don’t forget to bring the talents we sent in the first place we arrived here at,” I reminded her and for a moment, her face twitched.

“How then? I don’t know where that place is!”

“Oh… Let me take you there then…”

*Plop!*

But just before I’ll continue my words, the body of Angelica fell on the ground while she seemed to lose consciousness and enter into deep sleep.

“She…”

“She is alright,” I waved my hand as she vanished into the body of my chariot, “I’ll let her sleep for now.”

“You’ll take care of her, right?” Lily gave me such a deep look before adding, “you’ll take good care of all of us, right?”

For a second there, I felt like she was speaking about herself, Hilary, and even Karoline as well.

And without feeling myself, I slowly nodded.

Yes… I had to start taking good care of all my girls from now on. Even if I got my hands all tightly busy like this, I had to start taking good care of them all.

“Let’s go first,” I took out my staff and selected the old saved bookmark about this world here.

I haven’t been to such a place for such a long time! How long was it? I believe I was close to two years ago!

“This…”

“Did you forget about them or what?”

Just when I arrived there, I was welcomed with a scene I never expected!

This part of the world was the first where I arrived. It was where everything started, and I got to expand and reach other continents and places.

However… I knew that Angelica summoned everyone living here to that grand battle of defending the capital. She took all, sent everyone there, and that made me not care about this place anymore.

What was in front of my eyes proved me wrong!

I left this place with lots of cities and towns, filled with people who got to Earth and got dead in that grand fight.

But from what I was seeing right now I knew I was wrong!

Until the end of my eyesight, I could see lots of people living in these towns and cities. They seemed to enjoy their life here, and I got to see lots of kids!

They were living a life I only saw once in my life, when I first got to Earth. They were living without any worry about the future, without worrying about any threat or danger.

I saw smiling and laughing faces, watched them move inside the wide streets of these towns and cities. I saw them talk, trade, and enjoy their life while walking and running as if they were doing a daily routine.

“Shouldn’t this place be empty or what?!!” I spoke after a few minutes, while looking at Lily who shrugged.

“How long did you leave them here?”

“Almost two years…” I started to fly around and take a better look over these people.

“That’s… A very long time indeed,” she got a point there. And I couldn’t find any words to comment on such an unexpected situation.

These people lived for such a long time alone, even to the extent of starting families and having kids! They fell in love, started new lives, and even had jobs.

This… This was the life I aspired for my people to get. And seeing part of my people enjoying their lives in such a way made me crave more for such a life.

“What should we do with them?” as my chariot appeared for the first time, it started to attract the attention of people around.

Fast enough, many people started to gather around, and I even saw long rows of people coming from distant towns and cities.

“To be honest, I don’t want to ruin such peace,” I said what I truly felt.

“You do know that we’ll need all the help we can get, right?”

She was right indeed. But seeing such happiness and peace here made me feel terrible if I dared to ruin it.

“I… Never knew they even existed! So why not let them be forgotten for now?” I turned to Lily who sighed and kept looking at me as if this was something out of her hands… And mine!

“Let’s do it this way then… Bring people here from Angelica’s side. Let them gather info about people and races here. Announce a grand recruitment order all over the place. We need not only soldiers with cultivation bases, we need soldiers, workers, farmers, and even miners.”
