The Tale of the Void Emperor

After refining their bodies to the limit, they told Athan to stop since they couldn\'t make any more progress.

They need to break through to the Legendary stage to make more progress.

As such, Athan started transferring origin soul power to them with the same method, but the threads were connected to their soul this time.

"Get ready. This process is mild, so you should train while your souls are getting soul origin power in them. I have already refined this soul origin power to be of utmost pure with my whirlpool, so once it enters your soul, it will instantly become yours and elevate your origin soul power," Athan said before he started the process.

Lily and others nodded and sat down crossed-legged before entering deep meditation.

...

Athan made this process automatic, and he also entered meditation to comprehend more of Abyssal Void of Fabrication actively.

After closing his eyes, he went deep within his soul and found a grey phenomenon symbol with black and white streams chasing each other.

He felt a strong connection to the origin AVOF realm through this symbol, but he couldn\'t see anything in that. He could only feel the pure Abyssal Void of Fabrication\'s power through that symbol.

As such, he started feeling that power with utmost focus to increase his understanding of Abyssal Void of Fabrication.

...

Time passed as everyone continued to make progress...Tiana and others inside the AVOF realm dimension, while Athan, Lily, and others in Orchos Firmament.

After two years, Lily opened her eyes as she had reached the limit and needed to out to breakthrough. She passed Mimi and Dreevindo in progress.

She saw that Athan, Lily, Huarin, and Dreevindo were in deep meditation.

Seeing Athan\'s face, Lily stood up and got close to him before planting a kiss on his lips.

Athan\'s eyes opened, and seeing that, Lily took her head back a bit before smiling with a blush, "you said I don\'t need to hold back, so...."

After saying that, she once again kissed Athan before leaving the Ark space.

Athan shook his head with a smile, but he felt happy that Lily was happy. He understood how it feels to have the person you love exist but not be able to meet them and show your love to them.

\'Athan, do you truly love Lily? Because I can clearly see Lily\'s love for you in her eyes and behavior, but I can\'t see that in you.\'

Athan suddenly heard Huarin\'s voice and saw that she had her eyes opened and was looking at him.

Athan looked at her with a smile and replied, \'You can not see through my eyes because I don\'t show that side, and my behavior is indeed not actively in love like her. However...\'

Huarin saw Athan\'s eyes suddenly turning misty and saw an expression in him that showed boundless love.

\'I miss my other beloveds, and I want to get them back. I don\'t know where or how they are. I...am feeling anxious about their conditions. The one who killed them and took their souls away was a person far more powerful than I ever imagined,\' Athan\'s eyes trembled before he sighed.

\'I am only moving forward by believing in that person\'s words...that they are still alive. But I have no proof of them, which sometimes makes me anxious.\'

Athan\'s eyes turned cold and ruthless as he clenched his fist tightly, \'If...after reaching the top as that person said, I didn\'t find them or that person lied to me, then...then...\'

Huarin sighed as she couldn\'t imagine Athan\'s inner struggle, but she must ask certain things since she cared more about Lily.

\'If they were really no more and that person lied to you, then...would you live with Lily? Naturally, that is after taking revenge on that person you are talking about.\'

\'I don\'t want to think about that possibility, so I will not think what I will do if that was the case,\' Athan took a deep breath as he calmed himself down and smiled, \'As for Lily, her place in my heart is same as others. She is precious to me as well. Love is not a complicated thing. After seeing how much I mean to her, how can my heart not sway and fall for her? It\'s impossible. I will do anything for my women and shower them with boundless love as they do the same for me.\'

Huarin\'s heart started beating faster hearing that, but she calmed down nodded with a grin, \'I am kind of envious but...if you are saying that, then you should show your love to Lily even though I know that you miss your other wives. You must do that because that\'s how it should be.\'

Athan became silent for a second before he nodded with a smile, \'I understand.\'

...

Days passed as Mimi, Dreevindo, and Huarin also broke through and started their Legendary Path in the next fifteen to twenty-eight days.

Lily and Athan were inside the Ark space while Mimi, Huarin, and Dreevindo were outside, preparing their breakthrough and consolidating their strength.

Athan was meditating, but Lily wanted to cuddle and hug Athan while others were not here, so she went behind Athan and hugged him rightly.

"Ah, it feels good to hug you like this. How I wish I could hug you and kiss you forever," Lily muttered with a jubilant expression with closed eyes.

"You can," Athan said as he opened his eyes.

Lily arrived in front of Athan with a blush on her face and put her face closer to Athan before kissing him.

"Athan...I\'ll always get excited of your kisses and hugs, no matter how much time passes. They will always make me lively and happy, no matter how many times I do them. So...keep me with you whenever you go, okay?" Lily said with said moist eyes filled with happiness, "I want to do romance with you until the end of my life."

Athan felt the strong emotions of Lily as he nodded with a beaming smile and caressed Lily\'s cheeks before moving his head behind her head and gently pushing her towards him while he also leaned his head forward to kiss her proactively for the first time.

The kiss became passionate as it lasted for five minutes before Lily took her head back with a red face and took a deep breath before smiling, "let\'s continue training now. After all, I also can\'t wait to meet Sister Tiana and others.. Hehe, they are my seniors, and I have to learn much from them."
