The Inheritance Of The Supreme Immortals

Helena gave one last peck on his lips as she rubbed Sam's cheek lovingly. "...We will continue where we left off some other time since your big-ass aunt keeps on intruding."

"Oi, who are you calling big ass?" Lorraine pouted and retorted.

"Well, you do have a big, shapely, and squishy ass," Sam smiled and said, glancing at her as it swayed along with her movements.

"...You don't like it?" Lorraine noticed Sam looking at her butt like a dog looking at its bone.

The smile on Sam's face grew wider. "I love it. It's my most favorite thing in the world. I want to put my face between them and motorboat."

"You can if you want."

"Now?"

"Of course."

"Oh no, you cannot... at least not now." Seeing that the conversation was about to take a weird direction, Helena stopped them from going any further.

Even though she wouldn't mind if Sam did motorboat her, since Lorraine interrupted her moment, she decided to return the favor.

"Gosh, you two don't have even an ounce of shame, do you?"

"Don't act like you're not shameless. Don't you remember you just tried to make a move on him before me, even though we had an agreement?" Lorraine demanded with a grin on her face.

'An agreement?' Sam noticed the keyword but did not ask anything about it; if it was important, they would have informed him.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Helena shrugged in response, looking at the ceiling as if she found something interesting there.

"Tch," Lorraine rolled her eyes but didn't say anything. She knew she could not win against Helena in the topic of shamelessness.

"Anyway, why did you barge in here?" Helena asked as she corrected her kimono, adjusting it from a clothing mishap that occurred due to her romantic activities with Sam.

"I was looking for you. There is someone here who you should very much meet," Lorraine's earlier joyful demeanor disappeared, replaced with a serious expression.

"Sleep well," Helena nodded before giving another peck on Sam's cheek before departing from his room.

"Good night," Lorraine, not wanting to fall behind, also gave a peck on his lips, which lasted for a few seconds before she, too, left the room with a smile.

As they passed through the door, a shadowy figure detached from Sam's shadow, shot out, and seamlessly merged with Lorraine's shadow, blending in as if it had never existed.

Sam lazily lay on the bed with his eyes closed, processing everything that had happened today.

Today, he acquired sixty-nine beast souls. With that, along with his Soul Sanctum Imbibition Physique, his already robust soul became even more vigorous.

He also increased the numbers of his shadow army.

The second thing was he had an opportunity to test his newly created technique, Absolute Zero. This ability he crafted based on the bloodline ability inherited from his mother.

When using this ability, he condensed a significant amount of his Ice Dragon qi into a cocoon that, when exploded, would freeze everything around him in a hundred meters radius close to zero degrees.

It became even more potent when he used his ice intent with it.

However, this was not the most important part of today. The crucial thing was his relationship with Helena.

All it took was a kiss, and she basically became his.

It was astonishing how much her attitude towards Sam changed with a single kiss on the lips.

It's not like she didn't have feelings for Sam before, but her moral compass kept her from acting on it.

After that kiss, it was as if the moral compass was never there. She didn't care about what others might think of this relationship anymore.

She knew what she wanted, what she desired, and she was purely acting on her desire for Sam, to the point where she was offering her body to him.

Sam sighed, "My life feels complete. I have a family, some of the strongest people in today's world. I have four wives, who are the most beautiful women in their respective native places. I have power, talent, potential, and everything."

"I also possess the most powerful artifact in the entire universe." With a wave of his hand, a light flashed from his eyes and landed on his palm, revealing an ancient-looking book made of a dark-colored metal. It appeared very old and antique but felt strong, as if it couldn't be broken or torn.

He rubbed the hilt of the codex, "Why did you end up with me?"

<Because we are fated to be together, master>

A monotone voice replied in an indifferent tone in his head.

A surprised expression crossed his face, "Wait, you can talk now?"

<Yes>

"If you can talk, why haven't you spoken before?"

"Because I was unable to."

"Mm... then explain how can you talk now?"

<I was originally a mere wisp of soul inside the codex. I didn't have awareness or consciousness. I could only perform actions that I was assigned to, which were managing functions of the codex.>

<I started to gain a little awareness when you used your ability to devour a soul and strengthen your own soul. Since the codex is intertwined with your soul, I was able to absorb some of your excess soul energy leaking from your soul and strengthen my own soul>

<When my soul strength increased to a certain point, I developed the ability to speak>

'Mm, interesting. It's the same as the Astral Ascendant Sword; it will grow along with the user. But unlike the sword, the codex is inside my soul, so its growth rate seems to be much faster,' Sam smiled as he looked at the codex floating in front of his face.

'I wonder what will happen if it continues to evolve using my soul energy? Would it evolve into a beautiful big-chested onee-san like those systems I read about in web novels?' Sam's eyes sparkled with excitement at this thought.

Then, he shook the thought from his mind. There were more important things that needed addressing now; he shouldn't let his perversion get in the way.

"I understand... Now tell me, why did you say that we are fated to be together?" Sam started with the obvious question.

<I can't answer that question> Came the response. Uncover secrets at m|v|l|e|mp|y|r.

Sam raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean you can't answer?"

<There is a restriction placed on me by the codex that prevents me from answering that question>

"Of course it is," Sam rolled his eyes at this cliché gig, he was expecting something like this to be the case.

"Fine... who created this codex?"

<The Son Of The Universe>

Finally getting some answers, a glint passed in Sam's blue eyes as he continued his questioning. "Who is this Son of the Universe?"

Then the codex started to explain about the Son of the Universe.

The beings like humans and other mortals, looked down upon by the strong, discriminated against, frowned upon, considered nothing but tools— they were deemed the lowest-ranking beings in the entire food chain of the universe.

Above them came supernatural beings, like Sam himself, dragons, vampires, phoenixes, qilins, lycans, etc. These were beings with true power, the power to change geography, the power to destroy landmasses, the power to cause natural disasters.

They were beings who could grow stronger and stronger through cultivation, unlike mortals.

Above these supernatural beings came their creators, their fathers—the ones considered as the beginning of civilization, commonly known as the Progenitors.

The Progenitors were unique and more powerful even within their own races. They possessed the unique ability to create an entire civilization from scratch.

Next came beings who were almost on the same level as the Progenitors, falling just behind in terms of power.

These beings were said to be one with nature, having a close connection with the heavenly dao itself.

They might not be the strongest or hold any power rivaling that of the Progenitors, but due to their close connection with nature and the Heavenly Dao, they were ranked higher than supernatural beings, only falling slightly behind the Progenitors.

These beings held high ranks due to their uniqueness and importance. Entities like spirits, dryads, fairies, guardian beasts, and world guardians fell under this category.

From here emerges the most enigmatic beings—the Gods.

Gods need no introduction; we all know who these beings are and what they represent. They embody concepts.

Next in line are the heavenly Dao or world trees, as per familiar mythologies. Similar to the mythological tales, cultivators prefer to address these entities as Heavenly Dao.

Essentially, they act as power generators for a planet.

It can be said that the entire planet is powered by the World Tree or Heavenly Dao.

They watch over the beings living on the planet, rarely interfering unless it concerns the evolution of beings or the safety of the planet.

The growth of beings or the planet depends on the growth of the Heavenly Dao, more honorably referred to as the providence of the world.

When the World Tree or Heavenly Dao grows, the providence of the world grows along with it, and vise versa.

As the providence of the world increases, the spiritual energy in the world increases, leading to more cultivators breaking through higher realms, and more natural opportunities being born.

Most times, Heavenly Daos take the form of a giant tree, hence earning the name World Tree.

Even in the Zenith Chi Dominion, where Sam currently resides, the Heavenly Dao takes the form of a World Tree. However, this doesn't mean she cannot assume other forms.

Above these Heavenly Daos comes their mother, the Grand Dao or the Universal Tree, earning them the name "Daughters of the Universe."

Like the World Tree, she is an entity watching over the entire universe, always striving to achieve balance. She is an indescribable and incomprehensible being that acts as a guardian over the vast universe.

She is also the mother of all the Heavenly Daos across the universe.

Now, there was one being unaccounted for.

As we learned that Heavenly Daos were the Daughters of the Universe, who is this Son of the Universe?

According to legends and knowledge, all the World Trees were daughters of the universe, with no mention of sons. So, how does a Son of the Universe exist?

It happened long, long ago. Against all odds, facts, and rules of reality, the Grand Dao of the Universe Sam inhabited gave birth to her son, defying all the rules imposed on her reality.

This being stands at the top of every food chain, existing only second to the Grand Dao herself—the only son birthed by a universe in a cosmos filled with infinite universes, The Son of the Universe.
