Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Future
After dispatching the two devils in a painful manner, Sam resumed his conversation with his World Tree sisters. Once done, he returned to the Azure Dragon Continent to spend time with his eternal companions.
"Of course, my Kate is the strongest, isn't she?" Sam asked the girl in his arms, her dark hair and menacing blood-red eyes contrasting with his own. He planted a kiss on her head, followed by gentle head pats.
"Yes, she is," Kate nodded vigorously, relishing the attention. She didn't understand why, perhaps because he was the progenitor, but unlike the times when she felt annoyed being treated like a child by his wives, she never felt that way with Sam. In fact, she loved being treated like that by him.
Amelia and Lenora narrowed their eyes, biting their lips at the scene. They felt betrayed seeing Kate allowing Sam to treat her like a child, something they would be scolded for when they did it.
Sam chuckled to himself, noticing their reactions. Truthfully, he didn't know why she let him treat her like that either. He never used his progenitor power or his Divine charm; she simply let him be her father figure.
"I'm also level 109," Adriana chimed in.
"Both of you are at the peak stage of the Boundary Emperor realm. When you finally break through to become an Emperor, you will reach level 110," Sam said.
"Did you sense it? The providence of the world increasing rapidly?" Sam asked slowly.
"I did. I can feel my bottleneck loosening rapidly. After tens of thousands of years, I will finally become a genuine Emperor," Kate replied.
"Not just an Emperor, you can go further," Sam said, appearing in front of Adriana and gently holding her face, peering deeply into her golden eyes.
"The path of evolution is limitless," he said before giving her a deep kiss on her lips, which lingered until they parted, leaving a string of saliva.
"That was unexpected. It's been a while since we did that," Adriana said, touching her lips with a small smile.

"I... I don't know why I did that," Sam said slowly. "I'm sorry if I made you feel neglected."
"Oh, honey, I know who you are. I know the responsibilities you carry—the future of the Universe. I wouldn't expect you to give me the same attention you gave me before," Adriana said, gently massaging his cheeks.
"Don't feel guilty. I know my daughters feel the same way I do."
Not far away, Mina's heterochromic eyes were glowing faintly, and her lips formed a small smile as if she had just seen something that made her happy.
Sam glanced at her, a similar smile on his face, as if he understood why she was smiling upon seeing them like that.
But it wasn't just Sam who noticed; there was another person who observed: a girl with night-dark hair and fire-colored eyes, Nisha Lunaris.
A glint passed through her eyes as if she had realized something. She looked back and forth between her husband and Mina Megumi.
"You... you just saw the future, didn't you?" she appeared beside Mina and whispered in her ear.
"Yes," Mina replied softly.
"Then be a good girl and tell me what you saw," Nisha urged in a hushed voice.
"Nisha... you know I'm not supposed to reveal what I see in my visions. It could alter the course of action, leading to a different future than the one I saw. It's dangerous," Mina explained.
"You can tell her," Sam interjected, appearing beside them. "Even I'm curious about what you saw. I'm guessing it's about us."
"Is it okay?" Mina asked, concerned. She didn't want to do anything to disrupt the beautiful future she had witnessed in her visions.
"It's alright. If revealing the future you saw in your visions in the present can change the future, then it would mean that the future you saw in the first place is the altered one that occurred due to you revealing it," Sam explained calmly, as though it was a simple concept.
"I know it sounds complicated, and it is, but just know that it's no problem revealing your visions of the future to your family," Sam said, patting her head, which caught the attention of the other women, who now focused on their conversation.
"What are you guys talking about so secretly?" Ruby asked, feeling left out and burning with jealousy. Even after millions of years together and reincarnation, she still got jealous when she was left out of little things in their lives.
She was actually the one who got the most jealous out of all the eternal companions, followed by Melina Beifall. By the way, if she heard what Mina was going to say, she was going to get jealous anyway.
"I saw our children... our daughters. It was just an image, no glimpses of events," Mina said slowly, trying to be as subtle as possible so she wouldn't fan the flames of excitement in them.
"You mean you saw our kids in your visions? Is that what you're saying?" Aurora asked in disbelief.
She knew very well what those heterochromatic eyes were capable of—they could literally show the future. But she was skeptical because even though Mina could see the future, her visions never revealed anything about their children.
Even in the past when her clairvoyance was at its strongest, she couldn't see anything about their future offspring.
"Yes... well, some of them at least," Mina nodded hesitantly.
"Darling, is she telling the truth?" Ophelia looked at her husband for confirmation. It wasn't that she didn't trust her best friend whom she shared a husband with; it was just that the context of this story was too unbelievable to accept.
"Yes, and this time I won't prevent you guys from seeing the future," Sam confirmed.
"But darling, didn't you say learning about the future is dangerous? If we are talking about our daughters, I don't want to mess it up," Mia asked, troubled.
"It's alright. I don't know how to explain it. It's like an instinct or a feeling. It's telling me there won't be an issue in revealing the future," Sam calmly clarified the doubts that had been haunting him ever since Mina started to see visions of their children.
Sam believed that this was a message from his future self to his present self. There was another time something similar to this happened.
"What exactly did you see in your visions, Mina?" Sumire asked, grabbing her arms.
"I saw our daughters," Mina slowly revealed. "The visions started occurring a couple of days after we awakened our memories of our past lives. Then it slowly became more frequent. I still haven't learned to control my ability, and I don't know what triggers the visions."
"The first vision appeared when we were on the Vermillion Bird Continent. In that vision, there was a girl with snowy white hair and clear blue eyes. There was this divine glow to her that made her look incomprehensible. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life."
"She was resting in this magnificent castle, all carved with images of dragons. She was not alone. There were three more girls with her. They were clearly sisters because they shared similar features, and they were a little younger than the first girl. But when I looked at the four of them together, a single image came to my mind."
Mina gently glanced at the four white-haired women listening to their conversation. They were not idiots; they knew what Mina was trying to say. Adriana and her daughters, Helena, Lorraine, and Ava, had strange reactions, like they couldn't believe what she was telling them.
"You... you mean... you are saying you saw our daughters?" Lorraine asked, gulping a chunk of saliva. For the first time in a while, everyone could see she was actually taking something seriously.
"Yes, is that so hard to understand?" Mina said, feeling a little irritated by the way these women were closing in on her, as if they would strangle her at any time.
"I can say with full confidence, they were your daughters, born to you and our husband."
Ignoring the women, Mina continued to recount what she had witnessed in her visions. "The second vision appeared while we were visiting the temple of Apollo. In those visions, I saw two unimaginably gorgeous girls whom I believe to be the daughters of Aurora and Nisha."
"How can you claim they were our daughters?" Nisha asked suspiciously.
"They had the same hair as both you and Aurora, and they were even more handsome than you two, which I assume they inherited from our husband," Mina said, smiling.
"I'm not even upset about that rather rude comment you made, because our husband does possess universal beauty. It wouldn't be inaccurate to say he is the most beautiful person in the universe," Aurora accepted the compliment, shrugging her shoulders, while Nisha pouted with annoyance in response to the remark.
