Chapter 784: Chapter 784. Arriving in the light region.
Kailen and Julian went through the barrier separating the chaotic region of the universe from the light region of the universe. The moment they went through the barrier, they felt very far away from the chaotic region of the universe.
Kailen looked around. There were only celestial bodies everywhere. His gaze seemed to peer through the starry sea. A wide smile appeared on his face. He disappeared, alongside Julian.
*****
Light region of the Universe.
High-Tier Civilizations.
Arman Empire.
Heavenly Lightning Sect.
Ever since the founder of the Heavenly Lightning Sect, Micheal James, became a Supreme, the Heavenly Lightning Sect had advanced further from grandiose prestige to near-mythical levels in the light region of the universe.
Anyway, in a particular part of the sect full of mountains, fountains, beautiful forests, and scenic sites, a beautiful, white-haired lady was currently standing in a summer hut near a beautiful villa, staring into the skies with a somber expression on her face.
"Still thinking about him?" Miranda appeared next to Arrie.
"Yeah... I really miss him," Arrie said.
"I’m sure he will be visiting soon," Miranda added.
"Hey Mira, come look at what your husband, Pan, is doing here!" Charles’ voice echoed from within the villa.
"Charles, you snitch! It’s Avarice. Avarice made me do it!" Pan screamed at Charles.
Miranda sighed. What kind of prank were these two trying to pull this time? What did Avarice make him do? As if she would believe him?
All of Kailen’s shadow creatures were currently spread across the light region of the universe on Arrie’s orders, patrolling the light region from the shadows. Anytime a supreme-stage universe-level vimodial threat or some otherwise supreme-level threat appeared, they would act swiftly and deal with it. There was no way Avarice was here. This Charles, had he been looking at those magazines again?
She shook her head, patted Arrie’s back, and entered the villa, leaving Arrie to herself as she stared into the skies.
She was relieved that Kailen was safe and flourishing in the chaotic region of the universe. Also, she knew the weight he was carrying, and that everything he was doing was not just for himself, but for her, and those they loved, and for the peaceful future they both desired to raise their children in. However, she could not help but miss him.
Each night she stared at the empty side of the bed where he could have been sleeping next to her, each moment she remembered his lame, shameless jokes, or each time she recalled the warmth of his embrace, she could not help but long for him more.
Suddenly, a gust of wind seemed to blow. Suddenly, she felt herself in someone’s embrace.
She didn’t have to turn to know who it was. Who else would dare embrace her, the Light Supreme, if not him?
A smile blossomed on Arrie’s face, and a tear fell.
"I’m sorry for not visiting occasionally," Kailen said softly, hugging her tightly from behind as if he never wanted her to leave his embrace. "It’s been hard on you."
"Kai..." Arrie turned, then leaned in for a passionate kiss. She knew Kailen felt the same things she felt. He also missed her. She didn’t see any reason why he should apologize. Everything he was doing was so they could have a peaceful future.
The two melted into each other’s warm embrace, as if the whole universe did not even exist. For a while, it was as if time had stopped. The scene looked very picturesque and otherworldly.
Someone suddenly broke the silence and interrupted the moment.
"Well, this is unexpected." The voice was very familiar.
Kailen and Arrie slowly stopped kissing. Kailen leaned on a pillar of the summer hut. Arrie leaned on his chest. Kailen saw the person and smiled.
"You haven’t aged a day, Mike."
Micheal smiled. "Tsk... What were you expecting? That I grow old and die?"
"Did I just hear that..."
"Why does a voice outside sound so familiar?"
"Is that... Kailen?"
Everyone came out. Charles, Legoland, Jackson, Miranda, Pan, Anaya, Old Ha, Lian Yu, Reynolds, Kim, Zarek, Esimo, Felicia, Joseph, Lawrence, Phoebie, Phila, Everlong, Ethan, Donalds, Lee, Angela, Helena, Kailen’s grandparents, and everyone from the gang, or who had a strong connection to anyone connected to Kailen that Kailen knew, came out from the villa.
"If it isn’t my grandson!"
"Kailen is always so biased. What happened to bros over..."
Everyone stared at Charles.
"Complete it," Phila said, glaring at him. "Say it."
This guy wanted to say bros over hoes. He wanted to call them hoes?
"Hoes?" Suddenly, a voice no one recognized spoke.
Kailen sighed. As expected, Julian and Charles would really get along. The moment Julian appeared, everyone found his demeanor and mannerisms extremely similar to that of Charles.
"Hi, I’m Julian," Julian introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you, Excellency," everyone greeted him respectfully. He was a Transcendent, after all.
"No need for such pleasantries, everyone," Julian chuckled.
Everyone was holding back their laughter at Julian completing Charles’ statement. Now that the man had given them the go-ahead to be familiar with him, they broke into laughter. Although the man looked calmly terrifying and indomitable, just like Kailen, he was extremely carefree as they conversed with him.
Kailen chuckled as he caught up with his loved ones. Apparently, he had a lot of nephews and nieces now.
All of those who were in relationships and were unmarried by the time he was leaving the light region were now married and had eventually had children.
Even, Jackson and Bianca, who were single by the time he was leaving the light region, had eventually gotten together and married each other.
Cyco and Nuel had also found women they loved and settled.
Even Zarek,with extremely high standards, had eventually found someone who met his criteria, settled down, and had kids.
Apparently, the kids of the gang were all awakeners and were studying in the Arman Empire Academy at the moment. This was why they were not present for this get-together everyone had decided to have. In fact, Old Ha had moved on from the death of his wife and remarried, too.
Kailen was very happy with how everything had turned out with his loved ones. Life had really progressed during this period. How nostalgic.
Kailen looked at Arrie apologetically. Arrie smiled and shook her head, a silent gesture that she would wait for everything with the six vimodial seats to settle, just like they had both agreed, before they start a family. She was not in a rush. In life, everyone moved at their own pace.
Kailen nodded warmly.
Their brief silent interaction went unnoticed by everyone.
The conversations continued as Kailen’s loved ones asked Julian a lot of questions about the edge region of the universe. The group had a very happy reunion and spent a lot of time together, even reminiscing about old times. They took advantage of Kailen’s visit and even threw a surprise birthday party for Arrie and Kailen.
After that, the group, including Julian, excused Kailen and Arrie and let them have some personal time together. Everyone knew the couple deserved some time alone together after being apart for so long.
Kailen carried Arrie, who had a playful and bashful smile on her face. The duo disappeared from the living room of the villa Arrie was staying in.
For one week, the walls of the bedroom were under serious pressure. The nights and days were long.
