Chapter 468: With ease

Clearing his throat, Shane had already prepared his short speech so he wasted no further time.

“As you already said, both you and Lili could simply leave Igra that is bound to be destroyed. The System will disappear soon too and no one knows how long one can use the Dimension portals properly without them malfunctioning.

Considering that, why have you two not left yet?

You are strong and you can take everything you want with ease, but for us to do the same we might have to sacrifice our entire race, but that is not important, right?

If I’m not wrong, you are either waiting for something to happen or hiding from someone.

It could be both or none of my assumptions, and I know that mankind is unable to give you anything desirable in return.

Initially, I thought that you entered Igra because you want to raise Lili slowly, but the amount of mana on Igra is definitely too little to properly raise her.

That being said, I can only repeat myself and believe that you need something and that this thing is probably on Igra.

Let’s be honest with each other. I need you to protect mankind once we colonize a new planet because my father, let alone I am too weak to do so!

The dangers of the foreign planets and world bridges are too large as well, and I have the premonition that I will have to use my wish in the worst-case scenario if we were to leave without you!

My gut feeling has been telling me for months that something is wrong, but I don’t know what to pay attention to anymore.

I try to make everything perfect, but that is simply impossible. Today, I lost someone important to me, and I just want to prevent something like this from ever happening again!

So, Levi, please tell me what you need from me. I don’t like playing riddles, and I am even less inclined today!”

Shane knew that he shouldn’t speak like this to Levi, but he couldn’t help himself as he disliked the way she was speaking in riddles.

It was obvious for him that she needed something from him, and she hadn’t played games, but simply wanted to figure out how sincere he was and what exactly was going on.

As such, Levi asked some specific questions which made her release faint energy currents.

[Don’t be so agitated, lad. That can kill you in the future if you were to encounter beings that can use your emotions against you!

You are right, I have a reason to stay here, and I’m sorry for having led you on despite your bad mood, but it was necessary.

Because you were honest with me, I will be honest too. Due to an old injury, I am unable to cultivate, and it’s barely possible for me to absorb surrounding energies.

I never expected to give birth to Lili after having been unable to bear an offspring for eons.

Due to that, I left my homeworld in which I was actively hunted because of my scales, organs, and other unique body parts that are worth more than you can imagine.

However, the most important point, I have yet to mention, is that my injury might be old but the wound it had caused in my body is slowly deteriorating my cultivation base, making me weaker over time.

I don’t know whether I have hundreds, or thousands of years before I’m rendered too weak to protect Lili, which is the reason why I have to search for someone who can protect her in my stead.

This may seem useless because Lili could become stronger, but if you have met the Creator, you know the situation our Universe has to face. He should have told you about everything.

At least that makes sense to me, otherwise, he wouldn’t ask me to migrate to Igra in order to look for a reincarnated human.

In the end, I encountered a transmigrator in the body of a young boy, who was also the son of the human race’s president, but that is not worse than having been reincarnated, right?

It might have looked like everything was a coincidence, but you should know that there are existences who are able to see one possible future.

They’re never certain and can change, but I trusted the words of the Creator’s soulbond because I had no other choice, which is the reason why we’re talking to each other!

As such, what I need is you and your promise to protect Lili, when I cannot do that anymore!]

Even if Shane had expected Levi to have some sort of reason that made her stay with mankind, he didn’t expect it to be that confusing.

Not only did it look like she had encountered the Creator at least once, but Levi had even come to Igra because of some superstition, or to be precise because of an ability one of the Creator’s soulbond seemed to have.

From what he understood, it should be similar to the ability the Elus race’s queen had, but that might as well be wrong.

Nevertheless, it was a fact that Levi was injured, and that she was slowly becoming weaker.

As such, Shane assumed that she had hoped for him to attain a perfect foundation, believing what had been foretold even if he was not a reincarnation but a transmigrator.

This could have turned into a failure, but it seemed to have worked for Levi.

In the end, Shane was not even sure if Levi’s request was something grand because she was talking about long periods after which Lili should be extremely strong too.

The universe might be dangerous, but it was also vast and according to Lili’s personality, she wouldn’t be able to stay put once she was older and more powerful.

Because of that, Shane pondered about a suitable answer before he said,

“I can protect Lili once you cannot do that anymore, but for that, she needs to be around me. I cannot follow her if she wants to leave, and I have my own responsibilities too.

If you’re fine with that, I will gladly accept your request and I hope you will accompany us!”

It was only logical for Shane to say what was on his mind because he didn’t want to be restricted by Lili, only because he made a promise.

Levi understood this too, and thus accepted Shane’s request.

[In that case, as long as you give your best, I shall accept your proposal of entering the soul world for some time!]

With that being said, Shane couldn’t help but feel how the corner of his lips twitched a little, only for him to suppress himself.

Now that the most difficult part seemed to have turned into the easiest after Levi had accepted his proposal without causing a ruckus, they only had to fill the sea that was large enough for Levi and Lili to inhabit for some time.

This was easily achieved with Levi’s help as she had only to use her water affinity with some mana interjected before everything had been completed.

It was only a moment later that Lili was already bothering him to bring her to Umbra, which caused Shane to wonder just what his oldest soulbond had done.

‘Did he seduce her?!’
