Two days had already passed since Aldrian and Baek Jimin "united" under the stars. Baek Jimin and Sylphia's relationship was now closer than ever. Baek Jimin no longer shied away from showing her affection in front of Sylphia, and Sylphia was genuinely glad to have Baek Jimin as her sister, sharing the same man.

Aldrian also had to spare more of his time to entertain his woman, which he did not mind. In fact, he actually enjoyed it. With two beauties who were head over heels for him, he would do anything in return for their love.

At this moment, Aldrian, Sylphia, and Baek Jimin were enjoying their time together in the garden. They sat on a long bench with Aldrian in the middle, Sylphia and Baek Jimin on either side, their heads leaning against his arms.

They talked about many things, with the ladies occasionally giggling at the jokes Aldrian threw in.

But in the middle of their peaceful moment, Aldrian suddenly felt a tug in his soul. He instantly knew what it was, and a split second later, a voice transmission came through.

"Test, test, is it working? Master?" a male voice echoed in Aldrian's mind. It was the voice of the leader of the outsiders.

"Clear. What is it, Vars?" Aldrian responded.

Vars, the leader in charge of the Barevisk family's infiltration mission on the continent, answered right away.

"It's time for us to report back to our family about this continent, Master. We've already collected plenty of information and would like to ask for your approval."

Aldrian then remembered that the outsiders were scheduled to report to their main family every week with the results of their infiltration by sharing information about the continent. Today was the day they had to report back.

"Alright, let's hear what all of you have gathered so far," Aldrian said.

Vars then began telling him everything they had gathered over the past week. Aldrian listened, occasionally interacting with Sylphia and Baek Jimin as the report continued.

When Vars finally finished, Aldrian knew there were no lies and nothing being hidden from him. What Vars had shared was indeed the full extent of their information.

From the report, it was clear that most of what they had gathered was general information about the continent. There were a few details, such as the power structure of each empire and several notable noble houses within them.

Aldrian also came to understand just how weak the Barisan Continent truly was, as the report included a comparison of its power scale with those of other continents in this world.

However, the report also emphasized his presence on the continent, perhaps an effort by these people to warn their family not to act recklessly. It was as if they were saying that although the continent was weak, it had someone like him at the helm.

Sensing that there was no issue with the report, Aldrian nodded inwardly.

"All right, there's no problem. You can send all of it," he said.

"Understood, Master. I will send the report to our family now," Vars replied before the transmission ended.

After their communication ended, Aldrian's mind began to turn as he thought about his next course of action and the plans for the future.

With the report about this continent sent out, he wondered what would happen next. Would problems come to him and the continent? Or would those people know their limits and leave him and this continent alone?

He was willing to wait, but his thoughts soon shifted to the gods who might have followers in this heaven. He had almost forgotten them, having always dealt with devils and Tarius as their god.

But what about the others?

Did they also have followers in this heaven?

From Zang Haoran's memory, there seemed to be an agreement among the gods regarding the distribution of the heavens, which limited each god from meddling in the affairs of other gods' areas of responsibility. But he still thought there was a chance that the followers of other gods might cause him trouble after what he did to Tarius.

He would need to be better prepared for the challenges ahead.

"It looks like I have to move as fast as possible to make this entire star my domain. One of my worries will cease if I can make this star entirely mine," Aldrian thought.

Since he could sense the general direction where the faith of the star's populace was gathering, it seemed he needed to begin his journey soon. He also needed to open the continent to those from outside who had been waiting for his permission.

It looked like his time for relaxation was finally coming to an end.

"Dear, what's wrong?" Sylphia's voice suddenly reached him, drawing his attention to his right. She looked at him with curiosity. In fact, both she and Baek Jimin had already noticed that Aldrian had been distracted for a while, he had not been focused on their conversation.

It felt as though he had been communicating with someone through voice transmission or lost in deep thought, which naturally made them curious.

Aldrian gave a slight sigh, knowing they had already noticed he was distracted from their moment together. He then explained to them about the outsiders' report and his plans for the future.

After hearing what Aldrian intended to do, Sylphia and Baek Jimin couldn't help but sigh.

"It looks like our time of relaxation is coming to an end. Things will get busy once this continent is opened to outsiders," Sylphia said.

"Hmm. I can already imagine some powers from outside making contact with the kingdoms here. The demonic cultivators from outside will approach the three great sects and ask about you before meeting you. This might cause some commotion for a while," Baek Jimin said with a sigh as she tightened her hold on his arm.

Aldrian nodded. It couldn't be helped, and he agreed with Baek Jimin. He predicted that those outsiders would not rush to meet him immediately, but would instead study the continent first. They would want to understand everything about this land, and about him before making their move.

"So, when are you going to depart for your journey? You have to be careful, there's still so much we don't know about this world," Sylphia asked.

Aldrian already told them a mix of truth and lie, that he would be traveling to a place outside the continent, where he had received a strange calling. He said he had to reach it, giving only a brief explanation that it was related to his power, without going into detail.

Sylphia and Baek Jimin, who already knew Aldrian was no ordinary man and carried a great secret and origin, did not press him further. They simply chose to trust him.

"Tomorrow. It's better to arrive at that place as soon as possible," Aldrian said, prompting the two women to sigh and show sad expressions.

Seeing their reaction, Aldrian smiled warmly, kissed each of their cheeks, and gently stroked their heads.

"I'm sorry that our peaceful days are coming to an end and that I have to leave you. But you don't need to be sad, we can still communicate using our special method. No matter how far apart we are, we'll always be able to talk."

"And I can return here whenever I want. That's one of my abilities, remember? No matter the distance, I can come back instantly. If you want me to return every day, I'll gladly do so," he said reassuringly.

Sylphia smiled, touched that Aldrian was still thinking about them. But then she looked at him and shook her head.

"No. Just focus on your journey. Do whatever you need to do. Let us take care of the continent in your absence. If the emperor is away, then let his empress help watch over the empire," she said.

"I'll only contact you if there's something truly important that I feel you need to decide or handle."

Aldrian smiled, knowing he could depend on Sylphia in this matter. She had already proven her skill in decision-making back when he was still the mayor of Caritas City. Every time he was absent, if something happened in the city, she could handle it on her own.

She was also skilled in politics, which didn't surprise him at all. As the beloved princess of the Ivory Kingdom, she had received a thorough education and many examples from her father, King Ladwin.

"I'll also help Sister Sylphia," Baek Jimin said. "Even though I'm not as good as her in certain aspects, I can still support her in my own way." She didn't want to be left behind or lose.

Aldrian's heart warmed at their words, and he couldn't help but kiss them both quickly on the lips. He felt truly lucky to have them and to see how harmonious they were with each other.

"Thank you," he said gratefully. "But still, if either of you ever truly needs something, just tell me. I'll appear right away."

The two women smiled and nodded, but then Sylphia's expression turned teasing.

"My love, I think tonight you should give Sister Jimin your full affection. It hasn't been long since she first experienced real pleasure, and now you're already planning to leave on a journey. I think it's only fair that you satisfy her properly before you go," she said, causing Baek Jimin to freeze.

Her face quickly turned red.

"What are you talking about, Sister—"

"Good idea," Aldrian cut her off, grinning. "I should satisfy Jimin until she can't get out of bed."

"What are you two talking about?!" Baek Jimin shouted, her voice high with embarrassment, which only made Aldrian and Sylphia laugh.

The three of them continued enjoying their time together, knowing that moments like this would become much rarer in the days ahead.
