On a small planet in the same solar system as the wild planet, the whale sat in a cave with Ruri sleeping deeply, clinging to him. The priority was to help her recover. They couldn’t return directly to the Moonlight family because Ruri, in her current state, would leave a trace. With three humans, and the falcon loudly revealing their races, if the beasts of the sect reached the families, strange things could happen.
The whale and Ruri were the only ones in the cave. Alm and Bruno could clearly sense Kaiyka outside, meditating silently without moving an inch. Twelve hours later, Ruri woke up lazily and wanted to enjoy the moment together, but the whale quickly got her ready to leave.
The trio reunited. As soon as Kaiyka saw Ruri, she lowered her head and couldn’t look her in the eye. Ruri snorted coldly but stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

"You’re too old to be embarrassed. If you mess up again, even master will lose faith in me. Just listen and act as usual, maybe I’ll forgive you in time." Ruri said seriously and pulled her along.
The whale broke the family’s golden teleport crystal, and in a few seconds, they were taken back as if nothing had happened. The rules of the job didn’t have a set completion time, and once they finished, they weren’t required to return immediately.
In the memories left in the people on the planet, the trio stayed for months working; this was in anticipation of them taking a bit longer at the sect. They left layers of security and a convincing excuse: if any discrepancies occurred, they could claim they traveled together for a while before returning. With Ruri and Kaiyka so close, and everyone knowing Ruri’s relationship with the whale, strange rumors would spread, but there would be no reason to suspect.
As soon as they arrived at the family, Kaiyka took a deep breath and pretended to be her usual self. She was the current Kaiyka but also an ancestor who lived millennia ago alongside the family’s former leader.
They calmly reported their work, then the three left together. The whale followed the two and entered the high elder’s exclusive building.
This was the residence of Kaiyka, Ruri, and all the members of her faction in the family. Everyone had rooms and cultivated silently or sought jobs and resources, all under Ruri’s teaching and command.
The three entered a large room together; luckily, no one saw them, or strange rumors would spread like wildfire. After closing the door, Kaiyka took a light breath. She turned to the two and bowed deeply, conveying a sense of honesty.
"Thank you for taking care of me. Thank you for helping me revive." She thanked them for the first time, and her fluctuations matched her words.
Silence lasted for a few seconds, then she looked up at them. The whale sighed and sat down, Ruri did the same next to him. Kaiyka got the hint and did the same. Soon, the whale began asking everything he wanted to know.
First of all, the name Kaiyka was the same as in her past. With the fragment she left in her daughter’s body, she influenced the name choice in "homage" to her. Therefore, they wouldn’t need to change how they addressed her in the future.
A vast amount of internal information, not just about the Moonlight family, but also about the other three families, was given. This ancestor knew very well the dirt and old internal issues. This would be very useful for Ruri and the whale to plan things in the future.
Then, Kaiyka talked about herself. She didn’t hide anything and couldn’t. With the whale’s gaze on her, she was sure any deviation or slightest lie would result in immediate retaliation.
A long time ago, Kaiyka lived in a different medium-level universe. She wasn’t a missionary, but she was talented in soul use and created many related techniques. Over time, studying ancient and obscure things in her universe, she found traces of a lost cultivation method. She dedicated her life to it and managed to understand the basics, but eventually, her time ran out; old age killed her.
But after physical death, she understood something surprising. Her soul was no longer something common; that ancient and obscure method wasn’t simple, it was a heritage of an ancient immortal cultivator. Much later, she learned his name: Ancestral Sacred Spirit. Her soul became something sacred above the celestial laws, and she managed not to be taken for reincarnation.
After that, Kaiyka discovered something new: she could continue cultivating her soul even without a body. So, she lived alone, away from everyone, just as a soul, cultivating for countless years.
"Maybe I lost all common sense during that time… No, I unlearned how to trust others and learned to think only of myself," Kaiyka said, sighing. "The only one who accepted me afterwards was my husband. He loved me a lot… but he was a bit submissive. This only brought out my individualistic and arrogant side even more. I didn’t even treat my daughter decently."
"She’s still alive. Just treat her well now. As for your husband… destiny might bring him back one day," Ruri said softly, looking at Kaiyka.
Kaiyka nodded in gratitude. "Above the divine realms, there are the immortal realms. In that realm, the cycle of reincarnation and universal memories are simple for cultivators to manipulate. I will meet him again when I get there. I owe him a lot, even if he’s already incarnated and living with someone else. I’ll just wait for him to die peacefully and then take care of him. He promised me in his last moments, our marriage was forever." Kaiyka spoke slowly, emotional.
Alm and Bruno listened without much concern. They had reached the beginning of the immortal realms and felt something in this direction. They weren’t sure, but they suspected it; now this missionary confirmed everything.
Ruri listened and seemed pensive and distant. After a few seconds, she felt a squeeze on her hand and snapped out of her thoughts. Her gaze met the whale’s, calming her silently. They both knew perfectly well what Ruri was thinking and didn’t need to exchange words. Ruri understood his look; in the past, he had already said his ex-wife was in the past and that Ruri was his only woman.
Ruri took a deep breath, but her mind still seemed to have something strange flowing. Alm and Bruno noticed but didn’t delve into it. Unfortunately, they could only show what they felt and keep her safe; her insecurities, she had to deal with on her own.
Little did they know what Ruri was really imagining, and in the future, they would bitterly regret ignoring this first sign.
Kaiyka continued her story. After endless years alone cultivating her soul, she reached a threshold. The soul cultivation technique was obviously incomplete; she had only grasped a bit more than the basics. That’s when Heaven’s Will contacted her.
He offered to reincarnate her with her memories intact, give her an excellent body, transform her soul into a divine soul, grant her all spiritual cultivation, and much more than she could wish for. Who wouldn’t accept? All so she could be his missionary and defeat a difficult enemy.
Little did she know how terrible the enemy was and how desperate it was to live being chased and surrounded by dangers. She accepted without thinking much at the time. Thus, she reincarnated on a divine planet in the queen’s universe.
She was a human, a distant descendant of the Moonlight family’s founder. This distant branch wasn’t a big deal and was even beneath the family. But she was blessed with a powerful body identical to the family’s founder; and her talent was notable from a very young age.
Quickly, the Moonlight family found her and accepted her among them. She had the same blood and appearance as them, and there was no problem; everything flowed naturally.
Her husband was the most talented and powerful young man in the family. She competed for dominance among the youths against him, and crushed all his pride by force, making him bow… and he remained bowed beneath her forever.
Her life was calm, and she was literally like a goddess among mortals. Heaven’s Will gave her the support to cultivate quickly, and she just enjoyed her time having fun and cultivating. Everything changed when she broke through the family’s maximum limits and reached the Heavenly Saint Realm.
Kaiyka was always adored in the family and refused to go to a sect when she was still at the beginning of cultivation. With the help of Heaven’s Will, she could elevate herself independently and didn’t need anything from a sect. She wanted to stay with her husband and arrogantly didn’t care about the enemy’s eyes or going to the sect to seek information.
"If I had gone at that time, I would have discovered the power of heroes and the grandeur of the enemy. I preferred to stay with my family and husband and didn’t consider anything else," Kaiyka said, lamenting.
In the end, when she broke through to the Heavenly Saint Realm within the family, she was under a thousand years old and attracted some attention. A few centuries later, she stayed with the family and reached the Divine King Realm. All the most powerful sects in the universe were shocked by her talent and tried to recruit her immediately.
She didn’t just refuse... she made sure to show her superiority. She created a conflict and fought people from the sects... all of whom were a whole realm above her. The news spread quickly, setting off alarms across the universe.
The result was obvious. A hero came to investigate, and it all ended too soon for her. Luckily, as soon as the hero discovered everything, Kaiyka received, at the last minute, a vision from Heaven’s Will, a premonition of the whale’s arrival.
With that, she hastily left part of her soul with her daughter, then fled to that planet of the beast sect. Everything happened very quickly, and she only had time to avoid the worst for her husband and daughter.
Kaiyka spoke with a distant, pain-filled look. "I wanted to die alone and waited for the hero to find me... but... Santomi came on his own and died by my side. He wouldn’t have been implicated, but he didn’t want to let me go alone. Knowing this would implicate the family, he made sure to give the information of where we were to them; that way, the family could clear its name by helping to kill us."
Ruri had tears in her eyes hearing the romantic end of the couple. The whale didn’t care, and after the two calmed their emotions, they asked about something very important: her techniques.
According to Kaiyka, Heaven’s Will gave her simple objectives, and upon completion, she directly received what she needed most. As soon as she was born, she already had the Primordial Spiritual Cultivation Technique: Ancestral Sacred Spirit. Alm and Bruno knew this name; this cultivation method was always available for them to buy in the system, but they were never interested.
Obviously, there were no levels. She got everything at once. Combined with her spiritual cultivation, she later received the Sword God’s Dao. And to Alm and Bruno’s surprise, that was all she had.
She sensed their confusion and explained. "The Sword God’s Dao is peculiar. After you start cultivating it, you must abandon and forget all the laws and techniques you were cultivating. All your will must be in the sword, and it must be everything to you."
The whale listened, surprised. They thought about studying this from her; it wouldn’t hurt to have it, but they saw it was impossible, as they wouldn’t abandon everything just to have this Dao. Alm and Bruno understood her situation; as she only had these two things, Heaven’s Will began benefiting her by helping accumulate Qi for her cultivation. That’s why she could cultivate within the family easily without going to a sect.
Kaiyka added with a slight smile. "But the Sword God was still a mortal. I had a divine soul superior even to his Dao. I managed to continue my spiritual cultivation with my soul; I just separated the soul from the body and cultivated normally. In the end, I had both, and the results were abnormal."
Ruri commented lightly. "That’s why you weren’t good at mental cultivation. But your sword was sharp and wild, much superior to mine... Master taught me personally to fight, and I thought I was the disappointment."
"The reflexes of the other life remained in me. Well, now I can start over again thanks to you. If you give me the chance, I won’t disappoint you." Kaiyka spoke seriously, looking at the whale. "I swear I’ll be Ruri’s most loyal helper. I’ll die for her if necessary. Please, give me another chance."
She finished and bowed in front of the whale, placing her forehead on the ground. Ruri huffed and quickly pulled her up. "Don’t be silly. Master is dark and kind, but if you’re loyal and obedient, he won’t treat you badly. Stand up, he doesn’t like formalities and will get irritated."
The whale remained completely indifferent, as always, and didn’t respond. She would have to prove her loyalty with actions and work hard to earn even a minimum vote of confidence from them. Unfortunately, she only had two useful things: the Sword God’s Dao, which only she could cultivate, and spiritual cultivation, which could be useful...
They quickly remembered Thea; maybe she could use the spiritual cultivation technique. Almin had a powerful soul because of the array, but alchemy was already everything to him; it would be better for him to elevate only with that. Ruri was similar, but she already had mental cultivation; accumulating many cultivation methods wouldn’t necessarily be good.
Then they reflected on something and their minds raced. ’She said she could cultivate just as a spirit! Liumi can cultivate. Not just her; if our weapons’ intelligence and spiritual level grow, they can do the same,’ Bruno commented excitedly in his mind.
So, the whale received all that spiritual cultivation from her, and an absurd envy hit them. That should represent five or six levels if they had bought it with the system; she just got it all easily.
After a few hours, everything was discussed, and the whale prepared to leave. The two would be left behind, and it would take some time before they saw each other again. Ruri had tears in her eyes at the farewell, but suddenly Kaiyka received a message from the family.
"Hm... they asked me to give you a message, Sir. In two days, some rare herbs connected to the laws of earth will arrive at the family. They want you to seal your laws, and they will reward you."
Kaiyka spoke, and the whale just nodded without caring. They had to pretend to need resources to use in their world, and they wouldn’t lose much time helping with this. Ruri got excited; Kaiyka would take the herbs to him in the city, and she would go along.
The whale left, and upon arriving in the city, everything was calm and without problems. Almost all the cultivators were on the secret continent and it was time for them to return, but they waited the two days before that.
When Kaiyka came along with Ruri, the whale did the work in exactly thirty seconds. Then, Ruri, eager to be alone with him, quickly called Venjio to take Kaiyka away.
"She will leave all the Sword God’s Dao and spiritual cultivation in the city, master. It will take a whole day," Ruri said, and at the last part, she looked piercingly at Kaiyka. She got the message and nodded in agreement.
Venjio arrived at the castle, and Ruri ran, dragging Kaiyka outside. But the second they emerged at the entrance, Kaiyka froze, and Ruri felt her hand being held tight.
Ruri turned to her without understanding, and suddenly Kaiyka’s whole body trembled, leaving her stunned. At the same moment, she felt and heard her heart beating fervently.
Kaiyka was staring directly at Venjio, unable to look away. Her face looked completely strange, and her eyes trembled.
Ruri was completely confused. "Kaiyka? What the hell..."
"Santomi... you... you were here, waiting for me..." The random and seemingly nonsensical words came out of Kaiyka.
Ruri turned to Venjio and saw the young man equally confused. He quickly turned red, seeing that goddess looking into his eyes so fervently. The pieces clicked in Ruri’s mind; she turned to Kaiyka and mentally asked:
’Is it him? Are you sure?’ The answer didn’t come, just the sound of the woman’s heart pounding like a drum beside her. Ruri immediately used her mental power, and Kaiyka woke up feeling a shock in her mind.
’Yes... I can clearly feel his soul. It’s impossible for me to be mistaken. The heavens reincarnated him close to me.’ The confirmation came, and Ruri saw Kaiyka’s face almost collapsing out of control.
Ruri sighed; it was fate. Or rather, as her master always said: the manipulative Heaven’s Will played another trick.
"Hey, kid," Ruri said, looking at the bewildered Venjio. "She wants to talk and needs someone to distract her. Be a good man and take her right away."
He heard, and immediately, his expression changed to panic. Ruri saw this and barked dryly. "What are you waiting for?"
"YES!" Venjio said and ran with steps that were anything but firm.
Seeing Kaiyka’s gaze in the direction of the boy, Ruri couldn’t help but send another mental message. ’Go slow and don’t rush; he’s still young and things should go one step at a time. He’s not exactly the same as you knew.’
Kaiyka heard and nodded, forcing herself to calm down. She now had to win him back, but she couldn’t go too fast. She stepped forward, carefully approaching the young man. So, the two went together, side by side, with Kaiyka wanting to be as close as possible, and the young man extremely nervous and shy.
Ruri watched them leave and smiled mentally. Who would have thought she’d give that kind of advice? Anyway, she ignored everything and ran to the whale’s room with all her desires overflowing. Everyone had their problems.
