Chapter 779: Not The Right Time Yet
A week had passed since the witch and Fei's incident.
Once the curse was lifted from the witch, her complexion got healthier.
Her gray hair didn't look like some dying old man's anymore and rather appeared lustrous metallic gray. It looked great on her.
Her eyes weren't lifeless anymore and now had a platinum gray look to it.
All in all, she was healthy and so was Fei.
Fei's rank was unknown and the witch, who's name was Sylvia, was a Supreme Rank.
She had enmity with the Queen Mother of Witches, but becoming a maid now, she had to follow a few rules and not outright be able to attack her.
Lith had plans for her and asked her to stay calm, he'd do something about her conflicts.
Fei still looked like a young petite girl, almost like a loli about to go through puberty. Though, if one underestimated her, one would get killed without even knowing how and when they died.
The witch and the seer were developing a harmonious relationship together just like how Keith had one with Fanny.
Lith left them in Luna's care and had gone to the meditation hall in the castle to meditate.
Lucy was sitting there and meditating, he didn't disturb her and sat in one corner, doing his best to understand everything about the elements.
He felt his breakthrough was near and checking the system for information, almost all elements were around 90%, meaning he had 90% attainment in all.
Checking the system was really useless for this. There was no need, he could simply feel where and what he was lacking.
The system was only good for a few things, one of which included keeping the inheritances properly in them and acting as an encyclopaedia, giving Lith all the information about various different things he would come across.
Lith had studied a lot prior to his awakening. He knew almost everything regarding this world. However, he had no idea about the outside, hence this system came in a clutch and was of great help.
Even the powers his mother gave him. Had the system not said the name, he wouldn't have known what they were.
Paradigm Perception helped understand a person's emotions and was like a lie detector ability. It worked on a whole group of people as well, but to do that, Lith would need to get stronger mentally first.
The Destiny Seer ability allowed Lith to see the strings of fate and one's destiny. It needed upgrades, but that would only occur once Lith got stronger himself.
Then came the Psyche Puppetry. As the name suggested, it allowed Lith to control a person's mind and make them act as puppets. It also allowed him to read mind's to some extent without controlling the people.
The last was the ability called Return. This was nothing but returning back home. Lith didn't know the range of this thing, but at least for now, he could return home from anywhere in the world easily.
Lith lacked a little bit of elemental comprehension and once that was done, he'd ascend to the next realm, the Half King Rank.
.....
Outside the world Lith was in, in the void of space, a gate opened up.
Out of the gate, there appeared a group of ten people, all with silver hair and red eyes.
"This is the world we were asked to investigate," the leader of the group said.
"Let's go then, leader. I am already very bored of looking at one world another," a person said in the group.
They all then looked around and as they were about to enter inside, they felt they fell in a daze and stared at the empty space.
They kept staring and didn't show signs of waking up from their stupor anytime soon.
Meanwhile...
Lilith, sitting in the courtyard and sipping tea, said softly while looking up, "Not so soon. My baby is still preparing."
There was a Supremes Ranks in the group of people, but even from afar, Lilith could easily control their minds.
This was the power of the true god. If she so wanted to, she could wipe these guys out anytime.
Lilith knew where these guys came from and she also had an idea as to what they were going to do in this world.
She wasn't omniscient or omnipresent, but she for sure was an omnipotent god that could do anything she wanted.
She simply browsed through their minds and learnt of where they had come from. It was this easy for her.
Being omniscient was a curse. She would never be able to enjoy the journey of children's growth. This was bad and she didn't want such a thing.
However, being omnipotent was a completely different matter. Strength would allow her to protect the two whenever and wherever. The mother within her was completely content by knowing this fact.
Whether she would save them or not though, that was another matter altogether. She couldn't always save them as they needed to learn and grow.
If her children died, they'd be resurrected. They would have to bear the problems that came with the resurrection, but that's the best deal they'd get.
Reincarnation would mean they wouldn't have their bodies anymore that Lilith had taken care of five hundred years each in her womb. This was bad so they weren't allowed to reincarnate.
There was also not a single chance for the two to die completely, so resurrection was the only thing.
Lilith would only go and save them if their lives were threatened to the point where they'd either actually die or reincarnate. Otherwise, it was a big no from her side.
Yes, she'd hate and not like watching her children be tortured by someone, but she could do nothing but watch. All such things were important for their growth.
If her baby went against the Evure God Clan right now, the chances of him winning were an absolute zero. He had little to no preparation and would immediately be killed off along with his army.
Due to unsealing of the world, the Evure God Clan guys had sensed this world sooner than intended. Though, it was not a problem.
Due to the unsealing, this world had gotten a major boost and would only help everyone, including her two children, to grow faster.
Lilith took around fifteen thousand years to become a Legendary Rank and approximately five hundred thousand years to reach the rank she was at now. It was due to the world being sealed and a few other factors, but Lith and Lucy won't be taking this long.
Lilith had ensured to give them a brighter future and the two were definitely going to be Legendaries within fifteen thousand years, much faster than Lilith herself.
When they'll reach the position Lilith was in right now, that was a completely different matter. It couldn't be predicted even by Lilith.
But it was all fine. They both could take their own sweet time. After all, there was more to life than cultivation.
The time Lilith had spent roaming around for five hundred thousand years wasn't for naught. She had experienced so many things and had enjoyed herself.
But of course, the enjoyment was nowhere close to conceiving her two kids and raising them up.
The joy of motherhood was much much higher than anything else Lilith had ever experienced and she hoped that her children found something like this for themselves too.
As much as Lilith could predict as a mother, she guessed that Lucy might enjoy something related to combat. Being a parent or ruler wasn't her thing. She was a complete battle-oriented girl.
As for Lith, Lilith couldn't predict anything about him. He was still too small and hadn't explored anything yet, it was difficult to think of what he'd enjoy in future.
In any case, one shouldn't worry about the future and forget to enjoy their present. The future was a mystery, so one should fully embrace each and every single day.
Even though Lith was doing nothing but meditating right now, Lilith found herself at joy and peace watching his poker face.
For how long he'd be meditating, she didn't know. What she did know was that as a mother-in-law, it was her duty to notify everybody that her baby had entered meditation and wouldn't be available for a while.
She did just that and let the ladies know about it.
Once she was done, she got back to watching Lith, wondering what all shenanigans he'd do once he got out of his meditation.
