Chapter 122: The Confession

’Oh I forgot to ask her about that Essence Transformation Guide…’ as Neil returned to his domain, he remembered.

It couldn’t be helped, he would just have to wait till the next day, but right now he was bothered by something else.

Walking out of the core room, he thought of his moments with his teacher and felt guilty towards Ileana.

The healer was so good to him, she even sacrificed her life to protect him.

’I guess I need to have a talk with her.’ Neil decided.

He had returned pretty early today, the settlement had already arrived quite close.

And so he planned to start moving towards the exit, though bringing the entire settlement along would slow them down a bit.

’I guess I will practice my phantom skills, and there won’t be any links close once we move.’ He thought and arrived in his bedroom.

Ileana wasn’t there, then he walked out and saw the lively domain.

There was no longer a need to hide his legion from others, once he left this place, it was not like he could keep them hidden.

It was better to show his strength so others wouldn’t uselessly bother him.

Suddenly a big tree grew beside the domain, it moved like a monster attacking the surroundings.

At first Neil was surprised then he saw the beautiful druid controlling the big tree, her strength had grown quite a bit.

“Eli” Neil called out as everyone greeted him respectfully, they were all in a great mood.

“Hubby, you are back pretty early today, did something happen?” Ileana paused her training, running to hug Neil.

“…Yeah, I need to talk to you about something.” He said, sighing.

Ileana nodded, she got serious hearing his solemn tone.

Taking her hand, Neil walked away from the domain, for a while they both remained in silence.

“Actually, today in the training, I uh no, so I found a Dumb Fortune…” Neil explained from the beginning, and like he expected, it did make her mood sour.

Even if that was not real, no loyal woman would want to see her man with another woman.

Although back in her previous life it was normal for a man to have various women, she still wanted all his love and attention on herself.

Neil hugged her tightly.

“I am sorry Eli, it is my fault.”

In his arms, Ileana remained silent. As his subject, no matter what he did she couldn’t do anything but still would have to be loyal to him.

So feeling his guilt and how he told her instantly about it, it already proved he really loved her.

And whether he wanted it or not, as he continued to grow, his life would entangle with others.

Ileana knew she couldn’t stop that, not even Neil himself, life is unpredictable.

Of course, she could also decide to end the relation and just be a normal subject but she loved him too much to even think that.

So what she could do was solidify her position in his heart and life, so she could always be just as important.

She was greedy too, although she would have liked to just keep him for herself, but that was just impossible.

Instead, she had to take control of some things, so at least she could be his first wife and his most loved woman.

“It’s fine hubby, I understand. It’s not your fault, and although I won’t stop you from having other women in your life, there are a few things you have to promise me.”

Neil was surprised by the sudden change, he wasn’t really planning to get other women but his relationship was already strange with his teacher.

Then there was Jane too, remembering the name on the global ranking list, it made him wonder if there was more to the story.

But she still hurt him, so he wasn’t just going to forgive her.

“What are they?” he asked, pulling back and looking at her face.

“First, I will be your first wife, you are not allowed to marry anyone before me.” She said.

“Yes, you will always be the first in everything.” Neil nodded.

“Second, you can only have good women in your life, not just anyone. And not too many, that’s all.” Ileana added.

“Eli, don’t worry.” He kissed her soft lips, she clearly wasn’t asking much but it still made him guilty.

But he wasn’t someone who thought through his lower body, he would never let women be the goal of his life.

He was already pretty happy with Ileana, as for the future, he could wait for it.

Right now, getting out of here was the priority and even after getting out, he doubted life would get easy.

As their lips parted, Ileana smiled and nodded, she was just happy to be able to spend her life with him.

They chatted and walked around.

Not far away, the two even practiced fighting. Then Neil tried out his skills while Ileana sat and watched him.

After several hours, the two returned home, it was like a date and after the heart to heart talk, Neil felt way better.

They ate dinner, and to remove the memory of his teacher, Ileana pounced onto Neil.

The two stayed up until late into the night, the princess didn’t even rest until she was completely exhausted.

Neil fell asleep while holding the naked Ileana in his arms, there was no way he could ever let this wonderful woman go.

***

Waking up early in the morning, Neil freshened up and then brought breakfast for himself and Ileana.

Then he went to meet Hiroshima.

“Is this your army?!” the warden of the makeshift army looked at the giants, the siege golems and others in bafflement.

“Yes, they are.” Neil nodded.

“Woah, your talent must be really- wait wasn’t your domain’s talent being able to move your domain?” he asked.

“Instead of that, shall we focus on important things?” Neil spoke, as he gazed at the bar and citadel.

Hiroshima realised he was being too nosy, scratching his head he nodded: “Sorry, I just got too excited. Shall we start moving now?”

“Yeah, they don’t look too far, but I have covered over fifty kilometres and they still appeared at the same distance.” Neil spoke solemnly.

“W- What if that isn’t the exit?” Hiroshima was really afraid of this place.

He knew Neil was very strong, so he was ready to take orders.

“We still have to go check. We are indeed going to start moving from today, keep watch, though I have cleared most of the nearby beasts.”

Neil added.

They discussed a few more things and then Hiroshima returned to the settlement.

Zeke used his ability to make all the domains float, even Neil’s, then they began to move forward.

Many of the lords had to push the settlement forward and Graveyard was also tied with Hiroshima’s domain, so he was pulling it.

Still the speed wasn’t too bad.

Neil returned to his domain which was right ahead of the settlement and they started moving.

Giants returned to the domain while the siege golems turned into cannon balls running alongside, they liked open areas more.

After overseeing everything, Neil decided to go for training.

He hoped things didn’t get awkward with his teacher, he didn’t even know her real identity, he wondered which race she possibly was from.

“Eli, I am going to train.” He said.

“Hmm” Ileana nodded while folding the bedsheet, wondering if they would do it again.

“Haha What are you thinking?” he hugged her from behind, giving a bite over her neck.

“Ahhh~” a surprised moan escaped her lips.

“Don’t worry, I am really just going to train. I wouldn’t lie to you, you are very important to me.” He spoke, leaving a deep mark over her neck.

“Hmm” she finally felt better, as long as his love for her remained the same she wouldn’t mind anything.

After spending a few more minutes with his wifey to calm her down, Neil finally arrived in the core room.

“Master, you did the right thing.” Nemo spoke, feeling proud of him.

Shaking his head, Neil just entered the clash realm where Cinthia was already waiting for him.

“Walker, you are here.” Getting to her feet, she spoke normally.

“Hello teacher.” Neil greeted, walking into the field.

“Unlike yesterday, we will battle later. First there are a few things you need to understand about your evolution.” She spoke.

Neil nodded, stopping before her.

“It is going to be a theory class.

Anyway, you must have noticed how your cores now possess energy that’s solely yours, not the general essence directly from the air.” Cinthia started.

“Oh right, teacher I wanted to ask you about a reward I won, it was called Entropic Essence Transformation Guide.” Neil interrupted.

“So you have already found one, did you get it along with those weapons? This class was going to be about that.” Cinthia asked and Neil nodded.

She continued, explaining the requirements for the next evolution.

He wouldn’t be able to evolve to the 4th Origin just by filling his cores with gene potions.

But now he needed a suitable Essence Transformation Guide to transform his Essence into Innate Essence, which is further developed later on.

“Right now, you just need to know that with the Transformation Guide you need to change your Essence.”

“Does it make any change or is it just necessary for future evolutions?” Neil asked, they could already use the essence, so what did it even matter?

“Yes, it makes a very significant difference.

The evolution for every person completely changes based on your Transformation Guide.

You don’t depend on the world for Essence, you create your own Essence, your true evolution journey to become a World Lord really starts from 3rd Origin, where you start defying the very laws of the world.”
