Chapter 118 - enlightenment

Alone he stood reminiscent of the past when he was normal man walking down the street when fateful encountered changes his whole life. Caelum looked in the night sky where the stars burn brightly in the black mist of darkness.

'I have gain many things, grown into ridiculous degree but for what!!'

His aura burst decimating the mountain where he sat. Caelum who had become something akin to a god who could do impossible things that normal mortal dream of having. Yet despite this, He couldn't fully removed the anger of helpless of his heart.

No it was his mind that was weak due the fact that he had [Emperor Dao heart] which helped have the unshakable heart. Caelum looked once again in the silent sky as if trying to find the answer.

Meanwhile far from him was several woman looking at him concern gaze. One of them tried to approached him but the older woman shook her end stopping her which cause the ypunger one to frown.

"Caelum need time to think. It would helped him to understand himself even better and if his practicing something akin to cultivation story then it would give him enlightenment."(Celine)

"You seem well informed about it, mom?"(Liliena)

"Of course since I read old Chinese novel when I was young. Furthermore, it would be best for him to face hardship since it might be bad for him."(Celine)

"But can't we do anything, Celine!? His our husband and your son…aren't you a bit worried?"(Lena)

"Of course I am but I believed in him to move pass this. Don't you trust him with all your love?"(Celine)

They became silent understood what her words was, all of them looked towards the man who had loved them without end. Their gaze was mix between concern and determination as they stared at his raging aura that continuously devour the place.

"I believe in Onii-chan! We should try prepare something for him."(Alya)

"Yeah I already thought of ways to help, Onii-chan!"(Liliena)

"If its about Sex then don't bother since he won't be in the mood. Not to mention, you two are currently pregnant!"(Alizah)

The two feline crumble while their sister looked at them with stoic gaze. She doesn't like having sex with his lover that much and rather spend time with him.

"I think its best for him to have some space alone."(Mary)

"I agree since seeing Caelum had grown fond of Merlin for the past few months."(Alice)

They all nodded then gave one last look at their lover trusting him that he'll be able to moved pass his struggle. Caelum was in constant turmoil that he didn't expect to happened as he felt a burning sensation inside his body and mind.

His bloodline scream from his emotion and pain that surpasses his natural resistant that should be impossible. The reason why he was being emotional was due to the fact that his bloodline had thicken, so does the influence of it when his mind become unstable.

He was in relax for four years now face with problem had suddenly let the bloodline to manipulate his mind. However, at that moment the scripture that was inside his body change into golden words that helped eased his body.

'I need to calmed down or else nothing would change.'

It was then, he saw the word 'Evolution' in a foreign lettering that caelum shouldn't understood but somehow did. A words that meant many things, change, adapting but most important is chaos.

A powerful burst of energy escaped caelum body as his contracted star that he used with his [Star battle armor] had been place inside his body being at the top of the world energy root. The energy that gives off by the star nourish the world energy seed resulting on more Dao fruit to form.

'In the beginning and end that was nothing but everything. The constant flow of peace and conflict will find enlightenment in both scenarios.'

Caelum had calmed down that understood when face with such fat one must not drown in despair but evolved and continued the path. He understood that inside his body was the same as the bloodline were alive that constantly in conflict. He used this to understand 'evolution' that was a golden scriptures inside his mind.

'I can't fight against the system but…I'll try my best when I finally reunite with merlin. I need to apologize with the girls for getting out of emotion again.'

Caelum sigh opened up a portal to get inside his inner world not before scripture all over his body glowed in gold but instantly disappeared. He arrived to his home and when about to opened the door caelum felt a small body flew to hugged him.

He looked down while patting their head smiling then crouched down to looked at their faces. One of the little girl had scarlet hair wearing silver armor and blue mini skirts.

"W-where did you go, papa. Are you hurt?"

Caelum bitterly frown being careless in his emotion and forgot about his own family. He felt thankful that they understood him for being frustrated since Caelum saw himself in merlin who was alone and abandon until finding a family that suddenly struck by tragedy.

"No no papa is strong so no need to worry."

"She was really worried about you know."

She turn to looked at a mature version of the child that he was carrying and beside her was white skin woman wearing kimono while carrying two children. It was his twin child Yuki and Yuna.

"I'm glad you had calmed down, Anata."(Kaguya)

"Yeah but thanks to it I grown stronger and understand things much clearly now. Anyway, let's meet up with the others I to apologizes for being out of control earlier."

"Ara~ I think they won't be mind at you, Anata."(Kaguya)

"But I think its best if you take us on a date."(Irene)

"Of course, I'll do what you ask. Let's go."

Caelum went to his lovers apologizing for acting amateur which they understood but asked for a date which he happily obliged. He looked at his inventory and almost smack his head when he forgot to used the summon ticket which was Au version of Boa sisters from one piece.

'I'll do it tomorrow since its unfair for them to stock in my inventory. Still guilt's me to summon them after leaving merlin as if their replacement. Nevertheless, this children need live a free life and I'll just meet merlin in her dream.'

_______________________________outside Caelum inner world, the Merlin had left Nesta's home to grow stronger for her Onii-chan who promised to one day return. She wanted to be stronger to be with him forever. It led to her returning to her home country to study harder than ever.

Meanwhile, Nesta who had the ability to glimpse into the future had prepared as well for his Onii-chan's return. After the Great Holy war where Elizabeth and Meliodas had been curse with eternal life and reincarnation as well as the imprisonment of the demon race in the eternal coffin.

Nesta had build the country that would soon become known as Liones. She had no heir nor a lover but gave her position to an adopted child as well share the ability she has to pass to the future generation. Afterwards, she place herself in a hidden place at the country to be only awaken when the country is at risk or when her onii-chan returned.

"Merlin you should rest and take your time."

The one who spoke was magnificent burning phoenix who despite close in a stock of paper hadn't burn a single one. Even though, it was only a bird the face showed concern looking at a little girl who was immerse in her study.

"Ah I'm sorry for being distracted, what was it, sin?"

"I was just saying that Caelum wouldn't like seeing you like this."

The bird was none other than the man himself, Caelum but an avatar. It was unfortunate, he couldn't reveal himself yet it was still better to completely abandoning her.

The little girl yawn and slightly frown looking at the window where the sun has began to rise. She had been constantly studying and hunger for more knowledge. The little girl doesn't need much sleep or rest due to her innate power called 'Infinity'.

"You're right but I'm almost in getting a spell to transform myself into an adult!"

"Well just take rest since I can't take it seeing you like this even if you don't need sleep."

The little girl pouted but comply walking up to small bed and began to drifted off with a dream with her onii-chan while the Phoenix pull the bedsheet to cover her.

'Sleep well, merlin.'
