A few months later, Lily and the others returned to the Etherium Realm.
With Maximus' frequent visits, the void pathways from Immortal Palace Realm to Etherium Realm had loosened, shortening the transmission time of the void portal from a few years to just a few days.
Traveling in the void wasn't as simple as stepping into a portal and exiting another. There was a lag between the two.
In the past, when Maximus was at the Tier 9 realm, he hadn't even noticed this lag.
If not for Jixie's reminder, Maximus might have thought it was merely like closing and opening his eyes.
When Lily and the others arrived, his wives smiled widely.
"You've grown, Lily! Your aura has become more majestic! Come give your mother a hug," Hazel praised, admiring her beautiful daughter.
"Mother, didn't we just meet in the Virtual Realm? No need to fuss."
"What do you know? Meeting in the Virtual Realm is different from the real world."
