Chapter 583 When The Tides Are Over, Life Still Goes On
Two years later….
A number of elevators connected to the ground below as a massive floating island hovered over a large pool of water. "Blake, I am surprised you decided to anchor here."
Lillia looked at the man next to her, who was by the lake's edge. After everything that had happened, the man before her never changed. He kept striving to bring people together. At first, he was a person who could not care less about other people's lives. But slowly and surely, he began taking more people in. At the start, it was just a small number. But this number quickly grew, and more people joined him. Whether they were human or not, this man always drew people to him. He was a natural born leader.
Now, he stood over everyone on the planet. Whether it be mortal or god, he was the strongest here. He not only had Earth under his control but also the Astral Domain. He was a ruler yet did not act like one. Even now, he was playing with the children from the city. He did not treat others differently. He did not look down on anyone.
Even the dragonic, the ones who were supposed to be his mortal enemies, were now under his rule, and they did not mind. When the war was over, and everyone was allowed to go back to their daily lives, no one wished to leave. Whether it be the orcs, the elves, dwarves, or any of the races, they all wished to build up the city and make it advance.
The only difference was now the city was expanding past the floating island and was back down on the ground below. Even more, races who were in hiding all this time had made their way here. The diversity of the people who lived here was so mixed that the buildings in many sections looked so much different than the ones a few streets away. But the harmony could be seen as races of all types mingled together in these same streets.
"You said the same thing two years ago." Blake chuckled as he stood up and dusted the sand off his clothes. He had been building sandcastles with the children just now.
"I know, but still. After everything, I figure you would want to float around the world for a while." Lillia slipped her hands around Blake's waist.
"The population of the city is growing too fast. And this place has a lot of meaning for me. It was where we began building our home. It is where the city itself started." Blake replied as he gave Lillia a kiss.
"At least now, unless something major happens, our world will be peaceful. Even if a war breaks out, I will stop it before it can do too much damage. We can live our lives and continue to advance until the world itself can no longer hold us. Then we can only reach for the stars and expand from there." Blake never thought he would be able to say such a thing. But now he was going to live for millions, maybe billions of years. He knew by then, the world would to populated to house more people.
It was not just the population he had to worry about but also space hazards as well. If an asteroid fell or the sun started to act up. There were many things he had to worry about. Luckily, he was surrounded by brilliant minds who also already thought of these things and were currently studying them and preparing countermeasures. He may be the ruler, but no ruler could handle everything themselves. They needed people willing to follow them and work for them in order to keep those who counted on them safe and sound.
While it all might seem like a little much. When he looked at his children, who kept growing in number, and the wives, who all smiled at him and loved him dearly, he felt that everything was worth it. He started off as a man who was reborn. A man who had nothing.
But all because of gaining his dragon girlfriend, his life changed. He looked at the girl in front of him and smiled softly. "Lillia, thank you for choosing me."
Lillia blushed and playfully punched Blake. "What are you on about? If I didn't choose you, who would I choose? Only you appeared in front of me that day. And only you could have become my fated one. If it was anyone else, I would have killed them on the spot."
"Haha! I guess I am lucky then!" Blake let out a laugh. He really was lucky.
"You sure were. Who else would be able to find a wife like me who would allow you to have so many damn wives? We already need a new bed not everyone can fit!" Lillia complained. She did not mind all her sisters but they felt squished some nights!
"Now that I think about it…." Blake scratched his head. "I will be sure to get a bed that spans the entire room."
"It's about time. Luckily, there are no more princesses about, or else I would end up with more sisters." Lillia teased. She looked up at Blake's embarrassed expression and smiled.
"Ahhh! Sister Lillia is trying to take Husband from us! You promised!" Noa yelled out as she came running over. She was followed by all the other wives who had rushed over.
"I didn't try to take anyone!" Lillia protested, but deep down, she knew she had. She was the one who suggested that they come to the lake shore in secret!
"Sister Lillia, we all know your schemes." Tina teased as she hugged Lillia from behind and kissed her cheeks. "Maybe you just wanted punishment."
"No….." Lillia shook her head and looked up at Blake with pleading eyes as she was being dragged away. Blake quickly looked away, turning traitor instantly.
"Blake, you bastard!" Lillia cried out as she was dragged away by Tina.
Blake looked on with a smile as he stared out over the water. The waves slowly and gently crashing onto the shore. "When the tides are over, life still goes on…."
"Blake, you say something?" Erica asked.
"Nope just talking to myself," Blake replied and rubbed Erica's head. "What did you girls want to do? I heard there was a new theme park open."
"Let's go!" Mina yelled out. She wanted to go play!
"Then I guess we will go."
Blake hooked his arms around Noa and Erica as he walked forward. His other wives chatting happily at the side. He did not know what tomorrow would bring, but for the current moment, he felt life was very peaceful.
