(MC POV)
Thanks to Lian Li's help, I actually made quite a lot of progress with my writing.
Now that I know what was holding me back, words were practically flying out of me and onto the paper.
I did not need to think about it too much, I only needed to remember the actions, the events and the emotions I had experienced back then. Then change them into words and inscribe them onto the page as it is.
Everything flowed so smoothly that my previous condition seemed like a lie as pages upon pages of words flowed out freely.
In that time, I've also started to receive some copies of their writing from the others and they were quite interesting to read too.
Especially Lian Li's since she wrote about her entry to Heaven Sect and how she felt when we first met.
I did not know that my release of Elemental Quarks with a little bit of my killing intent actually had such an effect on everyone…
Good thing I only used it a few times…
I didn't read through the whole thing since I felt that if I did, my writing style might start to unconsciously emulate hers so I decided to at least write a little more first before I went back to read it.
My other disciples also sent a telepathic message saying that they were also working on theirs and I could expect something from them soon.
Hmm… But if everyone is going to write their own accounts, it might be difficult to arrange everything in chronological order… I guess just using some kind of reality manipulation would do the trick?
Yeah… Like an auto-sorter or something where I can just slide their written pieces in and the words will just arrange themselves into the book.
Heh, then I wouldn't even need to read what they wrote and let it sort by itself, so once I'm done, I can just read the whole thing together!
Genius idea, even if I do say so myself!
Anyway, we were pretty much finished with our business in this World and I'm not supposed to be staying away from the centre of the universe for too long, so it's time for me to go back.
This time, I properly went around to tell everyone that I would be returning and… Err… It went about just as well as you might have expected…
The girls practically begged me to go another round with them so it ended up being one giant orgy before they were finally satisfied enough to let me go. The rest basically just cried and promised me that they would do their best to join me.
I did tell them I was working on letting them come as mortals but they seemed quite insistent on ascending to reach there by themselves for some reason so I just let them do what they wanted. If they had already set their minds on it, it would be rude for me to try and dissuade them.
I thought Lilith might want to stay behind but she said she had already finished what she wanted to do and was ready to go back.
When I asked what exactly did she do, she just gave me a cutesy smile while placing a finger on her lips and saying it was 'a girl's secret, Daddy~ Teehee~'.
I gave her a spank for that but I also did not ask more.
With Lian Li, Elaria, Tsuki and Lilith prepared, I teleported all of us back to the centre of the universe.
"I'm ba--"
I got jumped on before I could even finish what I wanted to say.
"Welcome back, Masterrrrr!!" My disciples cried out while piling on top of me.
"Oof… You all missed me that much? I was only gone for a few days though?"
Manami wrapped her tails around me, "Ara, ara~ But it still doesn't change the fact that we missed you Master~ Ufufufu~"
"Pretty sure I've left for longer times than this though. And don't you guys only do this when I've been gone for a few weeks at least?"
"Haaaaa~ Without Master here, it really does feel like a few weeks had gone by… I'm already wet, Master~ Do you want to check?" Diao Chan moaned.
I managed to free part of my hand to give her a forehead flick which didn't help much since she just moaned even louder from that.
Kiyomi looked up from where she was hugging me, "Did Master manage to find what you need?"
I nodded, "Yeah. I've already written quite a bit and I came up with a system for you all to participate too. I've already done the preparations so whatever you have written and wish to share can be inserted into the book however you like. The book will sort out the chronological order of what you've written by itself and we can read it once it's done."
"Papa! Cai Hong write?" My little dragon asked, popping out from under my shirt that she had burrowed into.
I chuckled and patted her head, "Yes, you can also put yours inside as well if you want."
"Yayyyy~ Cai Hong wuv Papa!!"
So cute~
"So… Is it a good time for me to ask what all of you have been busy with?"
All of them went quiet suddenly.
Eh? Was it something really serious?
They got up from me and surprisingly, Lian Li, Elaria, Tsuki and Lilith also joined them in standing in a line in front of me.
Huh… Even Iris is also standing there with them. Now I'm feeling a little concerned.
Lian Li took a step forward, "Master… We have always been in your care for so long… You have done so much for us… So…"
Oh… Ohhhh… Oh shit, I know exactly where this is going. Oh wow… When was the last time they did this? That time where I told them about Christmas? Oh wow…
"We prepared a surprise party to thank you~" Lian Li finished, prompting everyone whom I had just said farewell to back in our old World to appear around me.
"Surprise~" They cheered, even bringing out a banner that said 'Thank you, Master Lin!'.
Even some of the gods were here too.
I actually did not see this coming at all.
I raised an eyebrow at Iris, wondering if it was a good idea for them to grant so many people temporary divinity like this using a watered down version of Elaria's method of ascension.
She only gave me a smile which told me all I needed to know.
Alright, you all got me.
Damnit.
I love you guys.
