Chapter 324 : Observing, Dilemma, Hall Improvement
The limit of his perception was just barely enough to observe the solar system, in which Prime Earth was included. Of course, this was a very challenging thing for Cedric to do in his current state, but he\'s still able to do it. The best part is that the space pirates remained unaware of his movements.
Cedric did all of this as he chilled at home, enjoying a cup of coffee while watching some randow shows online.
Retrieving his perception, Cedric released a sigh and lamented that there\'s still so much to do. Even at his current level of strength, he just can\'t extricate himself from worldly affairs. He simply cares too much to ignore all of this.
It\'s so tempting to just go ahead and eradicate all of his problems at once. It doesn\'t help that he had the capital and the strength to do so. What\'s stopping him from doing just that is the fact that if he does it, the growth of his people will stagnate, and they will be too reliant on him for everything.
That kind of mentality wasn\'t something he wanted them to have, especially since he\'s planning to introduce them to a much larger world.
His girlfriends are still out with their friends and are completely unaware that Cedric just returned from the tower. Truth be told, Cedric really didn\'t want to tell them either since, aside from him getting way stronger than before and the gifts he bought for them, nothing much has truly changed. He spent more than a hundred years there, only for an hour to pass here, and he made it.
He didn\'t want to worry them about his mental state because, honestly, he\'s fine. He\'s grown used to it by now.
Cedric missed them greatly, yes. He wanted nothing more than to hug both of them now and spend all day, or weeks, with them in bed just to make up for all the loneliness that he felt. However, after experiencing difficult trials at the tower, Cedric has honed his patience and has become very disciplined.
He has endured years of loneliness already. He could certainly wait for a few more hours.
Other than these, Cedric also refreshed his memories about the current developments of his people...
Nothing much has changed since the last time; only an hour has passed since then. The continent is still developing quite nicely. It has been divided into five regions: central, northern, southern, western, and eastern. Everyone was still adjusting to the fact that their world had just become several times larger.
However, this caused Cedric to be in a little bit of a dilemma...
"I could do better," he muttered to himself before groaning in annoyance.
See, he\'s started to see a trend here; each time he returns from the tower, he inevitably becomes stronger and more capable. Because of this, his perception changes, and he\'s compelled to improve things simply because he can.
Before he returned to the tower, he thought that his previous arrangements were good, or at the very least, the best they could have at that current moment. The continent was divided resonably; there\'s a bunch of secret realms here and there; the continent is also protected and hidden; and his people only needed time to adapt.
Now that he has returned after his long-term seclusion, Cedric sees things differently again. He could see many shortcomings in his previous plans and was compelled to change them according to his current standards. It annoyed him so much because he knows that he\'s forcing it now.
His people aren\'t him. If he meddles too much, they won\'t be able to keep up. He\'s aware that he\'s being too impatient right now, and that\'s why he could only keep himself steady.
"At the end of the day, time is both my ally and enemy." Cedric shook his head after taking a sip of his coffee.
"I really need to chill, relax, and stay patient. There\'s no need to pressure them; so long as I\'m here, this world is safe."
**
A week has passed since his return.
Cedric got up from the bed and smiled wryly after smelling the unpleasant scent lingering in the room. He\'s breathing was even, but his entire body was drenched in sweat and other fluids. Beside him were his girlfriends, who, every now and then, still quivered from overstimulation despite being in deep slumber. He could even see some white fluid still trickling down their cores.
A sense of shame wormed its way into his heart. He smiled apologetically as he brought a basin of warm water and a towel from downstairs. He carefully and gently cleaned them up, making sure that their rest wasn\'t disturbed by his activities. His smile became even more strained as he saw how their bodies instinctively reacted to his touch.
\'Yeah, I definitely overdid it.\' He muttered to himself.
He cleaned them up as much as he could and covered them with the thick duvet. He also lit up some scented candles that help them sleep deeper while also using some substances that will ensure they wake up energized and recovered.
In the end, he has yet to reveal the fact that he just returned from the tower. But with how he kept them in this room for an entire week, only giving them the mercy of eating and bathroom breaks in between, they could probably guess it.
Well, what can he do? He missed them way too much. If it weren\'t for the fact that they planned for their future family, they would undoubtedly be pregnant by now.
Cedric got up carefully from the bed and showered to clean himself. He then changed into a fresh set of clothes and left the room, making sure to be as silent as possible to not disturb their rest.
He went to the kitchen and made himself some food. He also made some for his girls and left them in the fridge so that they could heat them up later.
After peacefully having his brunch, he promptly disappeared from home and appeared at the Law Communion Hall.
Don\'t miss out on m-vl-em-pyr
"Oh, Boss! You\'re here!" Elder Eon, whose real identity was the Law Communion Sword, greeted him after seeing him.
If others were here, they would\'ve probably gawked at his behavior. In front of other people, Elder Eon was a solemn and deeply mysterious expert who had no time for nonsense. He is cold to everybody, regardless of their identities or backgrounds. People challenged him before, and all of them fled with their tails tucked between their legs, embarrassed and deeply humiliated.
Those who dared to offend him for the second time were never seen again.
This made Elder Eon\'s reputation soar. Many have tried extending an olive branch to him, trying to court him for their purpose, but all of them were coldly rejected. To the eyes of others, Elder Eon was an expert of mysterious origin, one that they could never afford to offend.
But in front of Cedric, who obviously knew about his true identity, Elder Eon acts like a rascal, completely and utterly different from how he acts in front of other people. The sheer difference in treatment was too overwhelming.
"Yes, I\'m here to improve you a bit. Take me your body," Cedric stated, going straight to the point.
"Alright. Follow me."
Honestly, Cedric could\'ve just gone there by himself. After all, it was him who brought Eon here. As far as Eon was aware, Cedric owned him, and he could do whatever he wanted, and Eon could only acquiesce to his wishes.
But Cedric obviously wouldn\'t do that. In his mind, there\'s no need to go that far, and showing some level of decency never hurts, even for a person of his caliber.
Eon led Cedric to the sealed room where his real body was located. Upon seeing the massive sword suspended in the air, releasing wisps of energy containing planar laws, Cedric sighed.
"I\'ll widen your channeling array so that you can begin filtering Grand Solar Concept Laws; is that okay with you?" He asked Eon.
"Grand Solar level already!?" Eon looked thrilled as he immediately guessed the implications behind Cedric\'s request. "Yes, yes! Of course! Shit, you\'re way too fierce and awesome. This brother is pleased!"
Eon gave him a thumbs up, causing Cedric to chuckle a bit. But since Eon was alright with it, he immediately began implementing his idea.
Obviously, Cedric was far from mastering Grand Solar Concept Laws, but if he were just making some changes to the original arrays on the Law Communion Sword so that it could start channeling Grand Solar Concept Laws to the hall, he could still easily do it.
The earlier he does this, the longer it could accumulate. The larger the accumulation, the more help it could give to his people, so why not do it right away?
