Chapter 489: Family Reunion

A few months later, Lily and the others returned to the Etherium Realm.

With Maximus' frequt visits, the void pathways from Immortal Palace Realm to Etherium Realm had loosed, shorting the transmission time of the void portal from a few years to just a few days.

Traveling in the void wasn't as simple as stepping into a portal and exiting another. There was a lag betwe the two.

In the past, wh Maximus was at the Tier 9 realm, he hadn't ev noticed this lag.

If not for Jixie's reminder, Maximus might have thought it was merely like closing and oping his eyes.

Wh Lily and the others arrived, his wives smiled widely.

"You've grown, Lily! Your aura has become more majestic! Come give your mother a hug," Hazel praised, admiring her beautiful daughter.

"Mother, didn't we just meet in the Virtual Realm? No need to fuss."

"What do you know? Meeting in the Virtual Realm is differt from the real world."

"No need to be shy, Sister Lily. Didn't Mother Hazel just want a hug?" Lyla teased, hugging her birth mother, Luna.

"That's right, it's so warm and comforting to hold your daughter in your arms," Luna muttered, missing her daughter dearly.

Though they could meet in the Virtual World every few years, it always felt unreal.

Seeing your loved ones so close, yet knowing they were far away, was an incomparable experice.

"Lydia, you've become more and more beautiful. Is there anyone chasing you?" Livia teased her shy daughter.

"My sect is female-only, no m are allowed in our quarters," Lydia blushed, refuting her mother.

"Sere, what about you? Has anyone bullied you?" Angeline asked, looking at her loving daughter.

"Mother~ The Sect Master is our backer. Who would dare to bully us?"

Since their father had befrided the Sect Master of the Immortal Palace Realm, ev the elders didn't dare to order them a.

If not for their discipline and respect for the rules, they could have lazed a while still receiving resources from the sect.

"Cyra, how is the intelligce organization you were forming?" Ire asked with interest, looking at her daughter.

"I've already placed spies in most of the Tier dimsions. Unfortunately, I can only gather geral information," Cyra replied.

Cyra had always be a fan of information warfare.

From the Phantom Organization in the Etherium Realm, she had begun extding her influce into the Dimsional Alliance.

Maximus ev supported her, giving her a budget of billions of origin coins.

Information was vital, no matter the world's currt state.

Though there was the Virtual World and the Seal of Truth to deduce information, having firsthand news was crucial to avoid delays in important matters.

"Asha, what about you? You've gott fatter!" Emma teased, pinching Asha's cheeks.

"What? My sisters grew more majestic and beautiful, and I got called fat? Mother, you need better words," Asha pouted.

"But you have gott fatter. Look at your cheeks, waist, and arms—they're bigger than before."

"This is called growing up; don't mix things together!"

"Hahaha! Sister Asha, admit it—you've gott fatter, just like Maxine." Lila chimed in, teasing Asha.

"What do you know? I'm already in the Tier realm! How could I still get fat?"

"It's not in a physical sse, but in temperamt—you exude a lazy and gluttonous aura."

They didn't expect him to actively pursue someone.

"Hehe, let me guess, is the one he's pursuing a rich lady?" Max guessed, thinking of his little brother's quirks.

"You've hit the mark," Liam sighed.

Ev in pursuing someone, Lux had to choose the wealthiest.

"Who is it? What's her backg? Do you know?"

"No, it's a surprise. Let's just hope Lux fools someone into being his wife before the others return."

"Hahaha, let's hope so!"

...

A few years later, Sam and Luke also returned from the Etherium Realm.

However, unlike others who returned through a void portal, the two came back grandly on a Tier void ship.

If not for their origin being recognized by Etheria, they might have be bombarded by the Etherium Realm's automatic defse system.

Over the thousands of years, with money in hand, Maximus didn't forget to buy defsive and offsive dimsional treasures for the Etherium Realm.

Without interferce from powerful factions or multiple individuals mastering the River of Law, the Etherium Realm was impetrable.

After parking their void ship, the two returned grandly to their home.

Unfortunately, without bringing their other halves, they still got a scolding from their father for being slow.

After their return, Neo and Aria also came back, bringing their newborn son, who was only sev years old.

The two had be delayed because their son was still too small for void teleportation.

After raising their son, Ethan, in the Eternal Sect for a few years, they finally returned to the Etherium Realm.

"You're quite productive, Neo, as expected of my son," Maximus praised, looking at his new grandson.

Like Lance, Ethan also possessed an ultimate physique.

With both parts having ultimate physiques and practicing the limit-breaking Origin Manual, conceiving a talted child was only natural.

"This is all thanks to Aria. Without her hard work, this kid wouldn't ev be born," Neo muttered, looking at his wife.

"Don't be too humble. Without two people, how can another be born? Come, take your child to meet Lance; they should be about the same age."

Although Maximus really wanted to play with his grandson, he still had work to do.

While waiting for the others to return to the Etherium Realm, Maximus was helping his wife deduce the formula for the Tier liquid solution.

With the aid of the Causality of Power and his connection to the River of Knowledge, Maximus estimated that he would fully deduce the Tier solution in just a few years.

"Let them play; let's see if they get along," Neo muttered, watching his son with interest.

Although Ethan acted like a good kid in front of his father, Neo knew his true nature.

Lazy and arrogant, having grown up in the Eternal Sect and being pampered for his intelligce and pottial, Ethan had developed a bit of a crooked attitude.

Fortunately, they had only be there for a few years, so it could still be straighted out.

With the care of his father, siblings, and cousins—equally talted and intelligt—Ethan should be able to curb his arrogance.

As for laziness, that might just be an innate trait from him and his wife.

"Go play with Lance and learn about the place where your dad was born and raised..."
