Father?
Father?
'Swoosh'
In a smaller bronze demon world, a portal opened as Ajax and Alder, the king of the devourer eagle kings walked out of it.
"Alder, go on. There is no need to show any mercy."
Ajax ordered Alder as he found a place to sit down.
'Screech'
Nodding his head, Alder flew into the sky and started his usual devouring.
'Once I get my hands on another smaller demon world core, I can finally break through into the King realm.'
During the last few days, Ajax and Alder were visiting a smaller demon world to destroy it and collect the world cores.
Also, Alder's skill got upgraded after his breakthrough into the high-level king realm as he could open to a smaller world every day.
However, to open a portal to a normal world, he had to wait for one month.
'Right now, I don't mind visiting a smaller demon world daily as I still don't have the power to conquer a normal world.'
Currently, Ajax was focusing on breaking through to the king realm.
'Once I successfully become a King realm cultivator, I can enter the mutated Bronze demon world and save those elemental spirits.'
Ajax didn't forget about the mission to save the elemental spirits from the High-level bronze demon king.
Even though he already had the ticket to enter that world, Aja was just waiting for his cultivation to reach the King realm.
'Also, to my bad luck, I didn't find the plant essence in the low-level section of the trading realm and if I want to look for it in the mid-level or high-level section of the trading realm, I need to increase my trader level.'
When he thought about his struggles in searching for the plant essence in the trading realm, Ajax could not help but sigh.
'Anyway, there is a week in the trading realm. According to Dark Elf, as long as I buy three items from the auction, my level will be increased to enter the Mid-level section of the trading realm.'
Nevertheless, when he heard the suggestion of his friend in the trading realm, Ajax felt hopeful again.
As for the money to buy them, Ajax felt that his million trading tokens would be enough.
'However, the problem is where should I search for my parents' souls?'
If the souls were in the Purple stone world, it would have been easy for Ajax to find; however, the universe is vast and there were countless worlds.
So, it would take his entire life to find his parents' souls.
'Ding,
If the host becomes a powerful Emperor or breaks through the emperor realm cultivation, the host might search the entire universe with his eyes closed.
'What? I can do that?'
When he heard the system notification, Ajax felt excited.
'It's decided then, I will increase my cultivation as soon as possible.'
Even if he didn't have to find his parents' souls, Ajax would naturally aim to become the strongest cultivator in the universe using the system.
However, since his parents' souls were waiting for him somewhere in this universe, he has to fasten his speed.
'Just wait for me, father and mother, I am coming for you.'
Ajax clenched his fists as he swore to find his parents.
'Hey, brat, when, I, your father is here, who are you trying to search for?'
All of a sudden, Ajax heard a familiar voice in his head.
'Huh? Old man, are you still alive? Also, what are you talking about?'
Previously the old voice in his head fell into slumber and hadn't spoken for a while. So, he was surprised by the sudden appearance of the old voice.
Moreover, when he heard those words, Ajax felt more like he was getting scolded by the old voice.
'...'
The old voice didn't say anything for a while and all of sudden, he shouted, "Brat, who are you calling 'Old man'?"
'Who else? I am calling you because your voice sounds ancient.'
Ajax was just being honest with the old voice in his head because that's what he thought from the beginning.
'Brat, I am your father.'
The old voice became impatient as though he might come out of Ajax's head to beat the sh*t out of his son.
"You are not joking, right?"
Ajax felt something was not right as he asked the old voice again.
'Do you think someone will joke about these things?'
The old voice seemed more energetic today as he continuously shouted in Ajax's head.
'I am Vaugh Spiriteye and I married my wife Myla, the daughter of my master, Boron….'
'You are staying in my head and you might have heard when Grandpa Boron was telling me about these things.'
However, before the old voice could finish its words, Ajax interrupted as he shook his head.
'Damn it…I thought I should give you a surprise when you become a King realm cultivator; however, sensing your seriousness to find my soul and your mother's soul, I decided to reveal the truth.'
'However, you brat started suspecting me.'
The old voice felt dejected with Ajax's suspicion as it continued, 'I did a mistake by leaving you in Master Boron's care. You must have listened to his stories and started suspecting everything.'
Soon, the old voice started blaming Elder Boron for spoiling Ajax with his stories.
'I hope even my enemies will not encounter this situation where their own son can't believe their fathers.'
The old voice sighed as he asked Ajax, 'Just tell me what will make you believe me that I am your father.'
'Hm'
Ajax nodded his head and started thinking about it.
'If Grandpa Boron is here, I don't have to think much; however, since he has entered into seclusion, I can only think.'
Elder Boron was the only one who could confirm whether the old voice was telling the truth or not.
However, after the war with the demons ended, he was busy restructuring the various factions in the Purple stone world.
In the Purple stone world, there are no more barriers between the provinces and the provinces still have the same names.
Also, there were no more hundreds of sects; instead, only three main sects in the entire world that would look after the three provinces.
And the sect leaders of these three sects would report to either Elder Boron or Ajax.
After restructuring, he secluded himself to break through to the mid-level Emperor realm.
'Right!'
Soon, Ajax found something which might confirm the old man's words.
"If you are really my father, then you left something for me inside the core realm of the Purple stone world. What are they?"
Ajax asked a question that might make him understand the credibility of the old voice's words.
Even though Ajax had entered the core realm, he could only enter in his spirit consciousness form. So, there was no way the old voice could see what his spirit consciousness form could see.
"They are Supreme grade spirit stones."
The old voice didn't even think to answer that question as he continued, "I left exactly 10 supreme grade spirit stones in the core realm and it is not for you."
"Calm down…calm down."
Ajax felt like his whole world was spinning when he heard the old voice's reply in his head.
Because that old voice was right about it.
There were exactly 10 supreme grade spirit stones in the core realm of the Purple stone world. Except for Ajax and Purple, no one in the entire Purple stone world knew about it.
"Father?"
Ajax believed the old voice in his head was none other than his father as he awkwardly called him.
"Finally…you believed me. I thought I would go into another slumber before convincing you."
The old voice in Ajax's head seemed relieved after hearing Ajax call him.
'...'
Ajax had so many questions in his head that he wanted to ask his father; however, not a single one came to his mind right now.
Because he was still unable to believe that he had found his father's soul already. What's more, his father's souls were in his head the whole time.
"So, ask him anything you want to know before I fall into the slumber."
Vaugh could tell that his son Ajax had so many questions for him; however, he was unable to ask anything.
So, he made Ajax out of his thoughts and wanted him to ask anything that Ajax wanted to know.
'Pheww…'
Ajax took a deep breath and released the air before asking, "Father, who did you end up in my head?"
"You must have known about the incident from 15 years back, right?"
Vaugh asked Ajax in a low tone.
"Yes."
"After killing all the otherworldy experts, I locked my soul in the system and made it turn into a pendant which Elder Boron put around your neck under my request."
"So, when you unlocked the system, it released my soul into your head; however, at that time, I was very and you are not strong enough to provide your energy."
"After a while, you started cultivating and the system provided me with the essence of nature to recover my injuries; however, it was not enough as I have to come to your rescue whenever you are in danger."
"During that process, my injuries will worsen and I will go into slumber."
Vague started explaining how he ended up inside his head.
'Oh'
Finally, Ajax understood why the old voice appeared whenever he was in some kind danger.
"So, Father is always looking after me?"
Ajax felt warm in his heart; however, he suddenly thought about something and asked, "What about my mother's soul?"
