Tang Family Hospital

Inside a luxurious hospital room, a man sitting on his hospital bed is calmly meditating. He doesn't have any IV drip and had already removed the monitoring system for his vitals. It was just a moment ago when the nurses and doctors left after checking his condition and was found that he is doing okay.

But the thing that baffled the doctors and nurses is the man's skin. Although it is soft and looks normal, they could not insert any needle in it.

Shin Jiao wanted to check his own body and meridians first to see if there are damages inside his body. And on the side, Susan Tang is sitting on the chair waiting for him to finish. After a couple of minutes, she saw Shin Jiao opening his eyes.

"Well, how was it?" she asked.

"Everything is okay." He said with a smile while patting her hand.

The two talked were talking when the hospital door suddenly opens. Then a 12-year-old boy enters the room. When Shin Jiao and the boy's eyes met they just stare at each other quietly.

"Your eyes look like your mother." He said with a smile.

The child showed an embarrassed expression and immediately looks at the ground. Although he was born a prince and had been haughty all the time, his mother told him who he really is. His father was a hero, a celebrated hero of the whole empire.

All of the six kingdoms in the empire marveled and sing praises of him and he as his son is very proud of it in his heart. And he was told that his father was a benefactor of the prince.

The marriage between his mother and Prince Li Yan Xi was for convenience. As Shin city grows in power so as their enemy, hence to be able to protect the city. Prince Li Yan Xi decided to put them under his wing through marriage to their mayor and current leader Qin Lou.

And from then on, Ju-long Jiao was then welcomed as a prince. The current emperor didn't oppose this because the empire could also use the power which the Shin city holds. With their advanced technology and ability ships that can fly anywhere even above the Daemon forest which is considered as a no-fly zone for cultivators and beast alike, only those huge metallic ships of Shin city can cross its vast and almost endless area.

Ju-long Jiao never saw his father's portrait or picture before, but he knew that he is a great man. However, he made a mistake and tried to attack his dad as soon as he thought that the woman who looks like his mother is being assaulted by an unknown man.

When the man turns out to be his real father, he was a bit regretful.

12 years have passed and everyone thought that his father has been killed in the great demon war. But now he knew that he is alive but just lost his memories of his mother.

As he slowly follows behind Mary still embarrassed of his father, he would just take quick glances of his figure sitting in a lotus position in bed.

"Sigh… I never would have expected that I would have a son." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

He got off from the bed and approached the hesitating boy hiding behind Mary.

"Come here let me look at you." He said.

He didn't know what to do, but he wanted to see how his son would look like.

The young boy slowly stood in front of Shin Jiao and lifted his head. He looks directly at Shin Jiao's eyes and he saw a part of himself in the man.

"I guess my handsome feature comes from my dad." Ju-long Jiao thought.

"Your eyes look exactly like your mother's… I… I'm sorry that I wasn't around as you grow up. But… I seem to not recall being missing for that long…" Shin Jiao said and suddenly thought of something.

But he didn't think too deeply of it as he knew that space has different timelines. If his conjecture is correct, now that the portal between the earth and the world the deity called Gaeus Ro is open, then the time between the two planets would sync and there would not be that much difference in it.

"How is your mom?" he asked amicably at the handsome boy.

"She… she is doing good. She already reached the Nascent realm very early… I… I guess she just really missed you." He said with a smile.

Tears are slowly forming at the side of the boy's eyes as he tried to recall his mother's words and her longing eyes wherever she looks at the night sky.

"I… I'm happy that you've grown to be a fine young man…" Shin Jiao said as he hugs the young boy.

"Dad…" Ju-long Jiao muttered as he also hugged his real father.

"I'm really happy today… I'm happy to see that I have a son." Shin Jiao said with a smile on his face.

The atmosphere inside the room had a happy mood as the two women with them also showed a smile on their face.

As the two separate, Shin Jiao immediately inquired of the boy's life in the other world. And the boy began talking about his life there plus his experience on earth.

His excited expression couldn't stop the two women from giggling as he was too cute describing his experiences. What caught the attention of Shin Jiao in the child's story is Agnes, the demon queen. It seems that she has taken upon herself to reform the remaining demons that were released from the curse.

They created a portal to connect the two huge continents. And in the almost 13 years that he was missing on that planet, it seems that the technology has advanced for the better. Due to the discovery of the telecommunication system along with the advancement of computers, the lives of the lowly mortals in that planet has improved.

The connection between the two continents is a great breakthrough for the whole planet.

"That is really nice…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"At first I could not believe it myself… But when I remember what you did while living on earth, I then realized that everything is possible as long as it was you…" Mary said.

"Yes, father… if you come back to the empire everyone will be happy to see you. Especially mother and his highness crown prince Xi." Ju-long Jiao said excitedly.

"No… I would not want to attract that much attention… but I want to see your mother at least." Shin Jiao said and suddenly turn his gaze towards Susan Tang.

When she saw the worried look on Shin Jiao's eyes, she showed a beautiful smile and just nodded her head in approval.

"Thank you…" Shin Jiao said in gratitude.

"Do… do you want to come with me?" he asked a bit reluctant because he didn't want to pressure Susan Tang.

However, upon hearing this, Susan was a bit happy. She also wanted to see the other planet, especially the woman who looks like her. She was really curious about this coincidence.

"Alright, I still have a lot of things to prepare before going to Planet Gaeus Ro, so it would take some time…" Shin Jiao said feeling a bit excited himself.

"Wait… what did you say?" Mary immediately stopped him.

"I said we need to prepare…"

"No, not that… that name of the planet."

"Oh, Gaeus Ro. Why?"

"I… I read from the textbook before… it was a long time ago… Gaeus Ro is… he was the first being who fought against the demons. In fact, he was considered as one of the gods in the mage land." Mary said while trying to recall the things in her memories.

"Gaeus Ro is the name of the planet? How did you know that?"

"Yes, it is… I have a lot of things that I've known and remember… by the way, I already recovered my memories." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Everyone looks at him in bewilderment. How does recovering his memory has to do with anything about the other planet?

"I know you are a bit baffled, but as you know I lived in that world before, right? And I have read a lot of books about its history. And Gaeus Ro is also mentioned in the library in the kingdom of Wu."

"Ah, yes… I already read and heard about that name in the Imperial library and in my class." Ju-long Jiao chimed in.

"So Gaeus Ro is the first deity of the planet and named it under his name. That is interesting…" Mary muttered.

"Anyway, let's go… we have a lot to prepare before going to the other world. And I hope that our preparation will be enough." Shin Jiao said as he walks to the closet and took out his clothes.

…

That night, the group ate at a restaurant while chatting for a long time. The small boy was the one who could not stop himself from telling his stories in the cultivation land while Mary and Susan would just listen and Shin Jiao would add or ask in-between along with Mary also chiming in.

Meanwhile, in other parts of the world, the nations immediately contacted their embassy to set an appointment for a meeting with the Li clan in China and the NXT Element Company.

This is because they found that the so-called Mech Frames are very important in boosting their military might.
