Location: Lil. Red Storm Realm, Realm's Womb, Seed World
"Corey, are you sure you want to leave the Seed World?" A menacing voice startled Corey.
- A Few Minutes Earlier -
Exiting the Seed World, Wyatt stared into the space before him, having ordered Ceed to unroot the Seed World from the dungeon seal's space so he could transport it to the Lil Red Storm Realm with him. Soon, a pink gem, similar in form and size to Wyatt's primordial calamity daughter gem, became visible, hovering in the air as if it had a will of its own. It floated toward Wyatt, who grabbed it and used his primordial soul pupils to peer inside.
To his surprise, the Seed World had changed beyond recognition. It now contained a nebula of soul pathways and arrangements, and at the center of it all, in its womb, was a celestial spirit resembling Ceed. This was her spiritual body, while her physical body remained in the Seed World with Dredre. Given that Ceed was a newborn celestial, it wasn't surprising that she did not have even a hint of rule power in her womb, let alone a rule stream.
Typically, after their birth, newborn celestials immediately begin comprehending rules from the rule source to summon rule power and satisfy their appetite-unless they have a Pixie to provide pixie dust, or, in the case of Primordial Pixies, primordial energy. If Ceed had done the same, it would have been difficult for her to continue hiding from the Card World. Fortunately, not only did she have a Pixie to feed her pixie dust, but she also had a Master who could supply her with primordial energy.
Analyzing the changes in the Seed World, what intrigued Wyatt the most was Ceed's spiritual channel. Its spiritual end led to the rule source, similar to his. This was common among him, Ceed, and Dalie. However, his spiritual channel also connected to the origin source. He felt it was a pity that neither Ceed nor Dalie inherited his 'One with the Source' skill. Ceed, who had yet to become a bloodkin-tier daughter gem, still had hope to inherit it, whereas in Dalie's case, he wondered if increasing her bloodline purity might help her gain new skills.
Having satisfied his curiosity, Wyatt stored the Seed World in a storage card. Upon being placed in the storage card the Seed World immediately burrowed into it's space, awaiting Wyatt's summons.
Wyatt then hesitantly used his demon codex to activate the devil merchant code's transportation function, teleporting to the Lil Red Storm Realm. He feared it might
charge him for all the people he was carrying with him, as he remembered paying for two when he carried the Elder Anesthesia Dragon out of blood rule source. However, to his surprise, the devil merchant code only charged him for one. Seed World's space stealth seemed able to evade even the devil merchant code, impressing him with the upgrade Ceed brought to the Seed World.
Upon arrival at the Lil Red Storm Realm, Wyatt was enthusiastically greeted by Dalie. "Wyatt, you're back!"
"Looks like you've been busy," Wyatt remarked, noticing how his field of vision was blocked by rows of precious metal bricks stacked upon each other.
"Yes," Dalie replied proudly. "I no longer need them, so I prepared them for you. There are some that I didn't know how to refine, so I left them alone for you to handle.
"I appreciate that," Wyatt said, feeling touched. He knew Dalie genuinely wanted him to have all the resources she had collected over centuries-not just because she was his daughter gem. He summoned his grimoire and, taking out the Seed World, handed it to Dalie, saying, "Here, this little one will keep you company when I'm busy with work."
"Is that a newborn celestial?" Dalie instantly recognized her own kind. Looking at the Seed World, she said with a longing tone, "Her realm is convenient."
"Let it take root somewhere convenient for you, or where you can keep an eye on it. Hurry, my friends are waiting to meet you," Wyatt urged, eager to introduce Dalie to everyone as his Elder Sister. In his two lifetimes, no one had shown him such selflessness. She truly expected nothing from him except the chance to live for him. "Alright, alright. Give me a minute. I'll let it take root next to my core. Then we can go meet your friends," Dalie said, equally excited to meet Wyatt's companions.
As a daughter gem, Dalie knew the newborn celestial was one of them. Therefore, she did not mind letting it stay in her womb. Considering her cursed primordial bloodline purity level, she held supremacy over all of Wyatt's daughter gems. She had plans for the newborn but decided to proceed only after meeting and discussing things with it. Not wanting force her will on it.
"All done. Let's head in," Dalie announced, having used the hive spirit to inform Ceed to take root in her womb. Together, they entered the Seed World.
Arriving in the Seed World, they were greeted by Corey's yell, "Why can't we leave the Seed World?"
Thinking back to his warning to her a few moments earlier, Wyatt menacingly asked, "Corey, are you sure you want to leave the Seed World?"
"Wyatt!" Corey was startled by his sudden appearance but quickly demanded, "Wyatt, hit me!" Then seeing the puzzled expression on his face she explained, "I know my actions towards you lately were nothing but bitchy. A simple sorry won't cut it. So, hit me until you're satisfied."
"Huh?" Wyatt was taken aback by Corey's sudden change in demeanor. It was getting hard for him to keep track of her mood swings. This wasn't the first time she had apologized to him because of her actions, and he had a feeling it wouldn't be the last. Seeing the hot mess she was as a reincarnator, Wyatt thanked his lucky stars for his transmigration not having a twist like Corey's reincarnation had.
