Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Next Course Of Action
"Shisu?" Sam called out.
<You summoned me, Master.>
"Give me the reports," Sam commanded.
"Let's begin with the Cultivation World," Sam continued.
<Master, almost everyone in the Cultivation World (Prime) has grown accustomed to using the system's functions>
<Since the system has yet to unlock features like the Interstellar Auction and Store, the denizens of the Cultivation World (Prime) have only been using features such as Public Stores, Public Auctions, the system's currency (Sys-Pay), and the chat function>
<In fact, the chat function has become incredibly popular among the masses>
"Hmm, that's to be expected," Sam replied thoughtfully.
-"Now tell me about the World of Kenkai (Prime). I trust Andrew Antares and Keith Lancestar have done their jobs well," Sam rubbed his chin.
Before leaving Kenkai, he had ordered his disciple Andrew Antares to control the chaos caused by the appearance of the system.
He had also sent a message to Keith Lancestar, instructing him to do the same.
"Just as you said, Master, your disciple handled everything efficiently. Over the past few weeks, they have managed the situation without any issues, and the denizens of Kenkai have already adapted to the workings of the system."
"And the Norse gods? Have they chosen any disciples yet?" Sam inquired.
<The gods have become very proficient with the system, though they have yet to take any disciples>
"Hmm," Sam muttered, rubbing his chin as he pondered his next course of action.
He lay casually on his cloud-like, incredibly soft bed, thinking back to his daughter from the future.
His mind briefly returned to what Future Mina had told him before she left to return to her own time.
<What is the next course of action, Master?>
"The next course of action..." Sam's main goal was to protect his universe from all potential dangers.
To do this effectively, he needed to make the denizens of his universe stronger.
In order to achieve this, he had to accelerate their evolution and provide them with more opportunities for growth, which was where the system came into play.
There were numerous worlds within the universe, but not all of them contained intelligent life.
Even if they did, most were mortals with no means of evolving like the cultivators or martial artists in the World of Kenkai, who could grow stronger and extend their lifespans.
At present, only the Cultivation World (Prime) and the Kenkai World (Prime) held the potential to evolve and grow stronger, and both were already progressing.
This was why the Nirvana Universe remained weak—its inhabitants were not strong enough.
By introducing the system, Sam could monitor the changes happening across all worlds while opening up new ways to accelerate their development.
The first step was fostering interaction between worlds, something that had never occurred before.
As the denizens of different worlds began to interact, exchange knowledge on cultivation, martial arts, medicine, techniques, and resources—even forming potential interworld relationships—it would significantly boost their growth.
As the inhabitants of these worlds became stronger, so too would their worlds.
And as the worlds grew stronger, the Nirvana Universe itself would gain power.
With more people growing stronger and expanding their lifespans, Sam would amass a greater number of powerful allies, capable of defending the universe.
If this manpower grew sufficiently strong, Sam could even contemplate invading other universes.
Ultimately, Sam wanted to repay those who had invaded his universe by giving them a taste of their own medicine.
"The next step is to solidify our power in the Cultivation World (Prime) and Kenkai (Prime)," Sam muttered.
Then he recalled something important.
"But first, I need to visit the Yin-Yang Continent."
He vanished from sight and reappeared in the White Tiger Continent, inside the grand castle of the Kingdom of Lupinoria, directly in the throne room.
When he arrived, he noticed three women sitting together, sipping tea and chatting joyfully. Sam took a moment to appreciate their beauty and shared laughter before making his presence known.
Lenora, Rin, and Mia all turned their attention toward their husband, their faces lighting up with excitement and love.
"Darling!" they exclaimed, immediately leaping into his arms and embracing him with affection.
"What were you three up to?" Sam asked, smiling as Rin rubbed her face against his cheek—a gesture she always loved, and one he enjoyed just as much.
"Nothing much, darling," Rin replied, her voice soft and sweet.
"We were just talking about our daughter who came from the future," Mia added, hugging his arm tightly. "It's a shame they couldn't spend more time with us. I really wanted to get to know her."
"Leona..." Lenora muttered softly, thinking about their future daughter.
"She looked just like you," Sam said with warmth in his eyes, gently stroking his lycan wife's hair.
Lenora nodded, leaning into his touch. She wasn't sad about their future daughter's departure, knowing that it was only a matter of time before they would see her again—not as a visitor from the future, but as their present daughter, born into their world as a baby.
"Want to make babies?" Sam asked playfully, a mischievous smile on his face as he lifted Lenora's chin, his hand sliding down to grab her ass cheek.
"I don't mind," Lenora smiled back, her hand slipping under his shirt to touch his bare chest.
"Neither do I. Let's make lots of babies," Rin added, her excitement clear as her hand drifted down to his crotch, teasing the dragon beneath his pants.
"You two are such perverts," Mia said, rolling her eyes in mock disapproval.
"Did you forget that we decided we wouldn't have children until we've secured the protection of our universe?" As one of the more level-headed wives, Mia tried to rein them in.
Lenora and Rin sighed in unison, a hint of annoyance in their expressions, but they both knew she was right.
They had made this decision together, and it was one they couldn't go back on.
Sam just chuckled at the exchange.
"Well, maybe we can't have children yet, but we can still enjoy the process of making them, right?" Rin suggested with a wicked grin.
"I can't say no to that," Mia said, a sly smile spreading across her face as her nine tails behind her swayed excitedly, reflecting her thoughts.
"And you call us perverts? Aren't you a pervert as well?" Rin asked, side-eyeing Mia.
"Well, there's a time and place for everything," Mia replied smoothly. "This may not be the right time for children, but it's certainly not a bad time for the act itself. You know how frustrated I am that we still haven't consummated our marriage?"
"Fufu... don't worry, my dear wife. I'll give you everything you desire," Sam's eyes gleamed with an intense and obsessive light.
"But not now. I came to take Lenora somewhere, and since you're all here, why don't we go together?"
"Where are we going, darling?" Lenora asked, a hint of confusion in her voice.
"To the Yin-Yang Continent," Sam whispered, gently rubbing her cheek. "Let's go bring your sister home, my beloved wife."
Lenora smiled warmly and took his hand. "Let's go, darling."
In an instant, they disappeared from sight and reappeared at another location—the heart of the cultivation world, the Yin-Yang Continent.
It was the largest of the five continents and also the central one, surrounded by the other four.
For thousands of years, the Yin-Yang Continent had been sealed off by an impenetrable barrier, preventing anyone from entering.
Legend had it that an incomprehensible being, said to be the creator of the cultivation world, had sealed it long ago. Only that being could break the seal.
This mysterious figure was none other than the most powerful entity in the entire Nirvana Universe—the Great Emperor himself, the son of the universe.
Sam stood with his wives, Lenora, Rin, and Mia, before the barrier that blocked entry to the Yin-Yang Continent.
Without hesitation, Sam placed his palm on the barrier.
Suddenly, the earth beneath their feet began to tremble.
The tremor was felt not only by them but also across all four continents.
While Sam and his wives remained unshaken, the inhabitants of the four continents were thrown into a state of panic, terrified by the sudden earthquake.
As if recognizing the rightful king's presence, the barrier began to crack.
Fractures spread rapidly across its surface, caused by the friction of Sam's immense spiritual energy.
In mere moments, the barrier shattered completely, releasing a massive surge of spiritual energy that had been locked away for centuries.
As the barrier collapsed, the torrent of spiritual energy, sealed for thousands of years, came flooding out.
Every being across the four continents felt it, and the leaders of every noble and royal clan sensed the disturbance.
Without hesitation, they all set out toward the Yin-Yang Continent, drawn to the overwhelming power now unleashed.
