Soon after taking Iris to relax and catch up on the latest matters, Maximus secretly began preparing a surprise.
After hundreds of years exploring the Aeon Plane—from the Dimensional Alliance territory to the Dark Void Domain—they returned to the Immortal Palace Realm.
"Where is the surprise you've been preparing?"
"Can't wait?"
"Hmm…"
Iris didn't want to wait millions of years for a mere proposal.
Who knew if Maximus would even remember it by then?
"It's already here."
"Here?" Iris asked excitedly, looking around.
However, aside from the usual scenery, nothing seemed special.
Then, as she looked further, Iris saw her master, friends, students, acquaintances, sect elders, followers, and more.
Having lived for billions of epochs, the number of people she knew was uncountable.
Yet, seeing trillions of familiar faces gathered in a single place, Iris couldn't help but be stunned.
