"I did not know" said Yunan apologetically as he took Reina in his embrace, she then led him to the heart of the pocket dimension, there he found the rest of his wives, each sitting with a golden book in hand, they seemed to be trying hard to ignore his presence, but he could tell they missed him so much it hurt, if even Kitty did not tackle him the moment he got in, things were pretty much bad for him.

Without wait or permission, he teleported everyone to the baths in the old home, he gave them a smiling "this is the only way I can get you to forgive me" before giving each a hug and a few comforting words. Truth be told, even Yunan was tearing up, their overflowing emotions affected him through their connection, and he could not help but respond in kind, this kind of sincerity cultivated over a period of a hundred years, this was not something fragile.

Words were exchanged, some coquettish violence, some feelings and bodily fluids, what else do you expect me to tell you about a man and his wives, private things should remain private.

Yunan, Reina and Ophelia talked at length about the 500 years, while the other 3 chose to each hold onto a body part of Yunan and cuddle themselves to sleep.

According to Reina, after the gods left, the old ones also took to hiding, most of them chose to hide and cultivate, so as to not disturb the world, anyone who lived long enough to see 4 generations, would also leave the public view, most of these people were hiding on the awakened island, while the awakened have been brought to the continent, the only reason they could stay was the amount of knowledge they had to depart to the continent.

The bloodlines of the dragon and phoenix have been passed down, but as true dragon and phoenix, Drogon and Ignis suffered from the bite of mana corruption more than anything else, they made sure to leave the art of mana purification behind, as well as pass enough knowledge about the bloodlines to keep them from watering down and dying out, mainly consuming creatures with said bloodlines.

Even as the two suffered endlessly, they did not find it in them to disobey their master's orders, so they waited patiently for Yunan to return, using that time to find out ways to force him into never leaving them behind, they succeeded.

As for the wives, Cat and Kaeser, they each took some disciples to teach, keeping the golden library a secret, only taking out copies of small sections of the library, and teaching those arts, making sure that only the trustworthy scholars holding the bloodlines had access to the library, and from there, spent their time spreading the knowledge about true power and finally ascension to the world.

The wives were not so happy to hear about how short of a time Yunan had spent to gain another potential wife, especially one that came from another universe, but that was all forgotten when he offered to take them on a tour of the prison planet.

After Yunan spent time educating his children and providing them with some insights, he took his wives and returned to the prison planet, where he showed them around the place and introduced a few of his newest allies in the planet, then he sent them back a few days later, after all, this planet was the next phase for Yunan, not them, and they had understood that very well.

After the wives left, Yunan took the initiative to start cultivating too, he was preparing to ascend into godhood, he feared that if he waited any longer, his ascension would be impossible, his divinity has grown to be the size of a planetary system, and since no one knew what would happen if he waited for it to grow any longer, he decided it was time to ascend, the back door to the planet was established and allowed access to and fro the Hosana universe, it was thus needless for Yunan to still be a mortal any longer.

Leaving Dreamscape just in case something went wrong, he found a quiet spot near a plateau filled with flowers and sat down to start meditating, once he was ready, he sent his intent to his effort divinity, he could not help but gasp when he felt how utterly massive it was, his consciousness felt like it would never reach the core of the divinity, that would not stop him, not him, not after all he went through to get to this point.

He sent his intent hurtling into the divinity, it felt like wading through concrete, the resistance was substantial, but Yunan persisted, he took his time and pushed in, inch by inch, meter by meter until suddenly there was no restriction, Yunan found himself standing before a mirror copy of him, they were at the core of the effort divinity, both staring at each other.

"Why do you wish to ascend? as a mortal, you are strong enough, what is there for you in eternal life?" said the copy "I can give you whatever you seek, for I am Effort, and whatever you see as impossible is a mere thought away". The mirror copy turned out to be the effort divinity Yunan had painstakingly cultivated.

"There is nothing you can give me that I can not get on my own, whether I am mortal or god, it makes no difference, what I seek is another dungeon to conquer, and that is something you can never give me, only I can prowl dungeons, you, you are part of me, you are the proof of my path, whether I succeed or not, is entirely, completely and ultimately, up to me."

Yunan then stretched his hand for a handshake "together, you and me, as one, we have a path to walk, your will is a mirror of mine, come, we have so little time".

The mirror copy smiled and shook hands with Yunan, then melted into a stream of energy that ran through Yunan like his blood, it was not painful when it started demolishing him to dust motes, it felt only like he just found a whole new world, he was the world, the laws of the universe owed to his will, the river Styx halted at his feet asking for permission to carry on, and fate playfully flowed around him.
