The Inheritance Of The Supreme Immortals

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: A Complicated Concept

<Congratulations on becoming a pseudo-sage, Master>

A voice reverberated through his mind.

"Hmm," Sam smiled and clenched his fist. "I have also comprehended the Ferocious Dao Intent, Immortal Dao Intent, Mortal Dao Intent, and Duality Dao Intent."

Just then, his wives—Nisha, Aurora, Ruby, Melina, and Mina—flew over to where he was standing but didn't land on the ground.

Even though Sam had cleared the corrupted beasts from the area, the lingering corrupted energy had deteriorated the soil and ground, making it dangerous to touch.

"This place belongs to us, the Divine Peacocks. With the corruption spreading to the surroundings, it might affect the livelihood of the citizens. You are going to clear this, aren't you, darling?" Melina asked her husband, concern evident in her voice.

"Of course."

"How are you going to do it, darling? If I remember correctly, we have to destroy everything that's been corrupted to prevent it from spreading, right?" Mina recalled their past experiences dealing with corruption.

"There is no need for that. I found an alternate solution that works just as well," Sam said, raising his hand forward and conjuring his crimson dragon flames.

"We have to purge this place with flames," he continued, raising his other hand, this time conjuring a flame powered by his vampire essence.

"We will set this place on fire using all the flames we have at hand," he declared, pointing his palm, which blazed with crimson dragon flames, and shot out a softball-sized crimson fireball at the area where corruption was rampant.

The fireball gently landed on the corrupted ground, but it didn't seem to affect the corruption at all. Without a care in the world, Sam then pointed his vampiric fireball at the same spot where the crimson dragon flames failed to burn away the corruption.

When the vampiric fireball collided with the crimson dragon flame, there was no explosion.

Instead, they seemed to merge, creating a new type of flame containing the essence of both a vampire and a dragon.

"Darling, how did you manage to combine two different flames? Flames of different nature will be aggressive against each other," Nisha asked, looking at the merged flame that retained the crimson color while its power seemed significantly amplified.

Typically, flames of different natures would not amalgamate because they were of different origins and nature.

It was similar to oil and water—both were liquids, but of different nature, so they could never mix.

"Yes, you are correct; they indeed won't mix, but that's not the case with me,"

Sam revealed a small smile while conjuring golden Sun flame, which he gained after becoming the Golden Crow Progenitor, on one hand, and Phoenix flame, which his Phoenix Progenitor side gave him, on the other hand.

"Although these flames have different characteristics and different natures, they come from the same source, which is me. But that alone won't explain how I can do this,"

Sam brought his hands closer and merged the two flames, creating a ball of golden flames radiating reddish wisps that seemed to float magically in the air without extinguishing.

"It's my unique access to the universal source,"

Sam threw the ball of this unknown flame at another area with marginal corruption. As soon as the flames made contact with the place, it began to burn like a rapid forest fire being strengthened by extreme wind, except this was infinitely more powerful.

"Every type of energy in this universe, be it Qi, mana, ether, everything, comes from the universal source. And I, who have been born from the universal source, naturally have affinity and unparalleled compatibility with every energy in the universe."

"It's also one of the reasons I was able to create and merge all these flames into one unique, unquenchable flame."

"I don't know if I should say this, but you are a monster, darling," Ruby said sneakily snuggling into his arms.

Nisha and Aurora rolled their eyes at Ruby, thinking something very rude about her. "Even a hundred reincarnations wouldn't change this, bitch."

"Being too powerful is a good thing because it means we can have our long-dreamt vacation, which can last for eternity," Melina's eyes gleamed with excitement as she thought about a certain vacation plan she had with her fellow wives in their past life.

"Now, Melina, there are better things to do than going on a long vacation," Mina said with hidden meaning behind her words.

"What could be better than spending time with our husband in bed somewhere surrounded by beach sand and ocean, cold weather, no work, an island would be perfection?" Melina genuinely didn't think there would be anything better than spending time with their husband in bed.

"Yeah, I want to know too," Nisha raised her hand as if asking to clear a doubt from her homeroom teacher.

"I like Melina's idea. What could be better?" Aurora also looked at Mina for answers.

Mina, with her heterochromia eyes, looked at the girls amusingly while Sam smiled secretly, understanding what Mina was talking about.

One of Mina's eyes was yellow, and the other was blue. This condition was due to her innate ability, which made one of her eyes bright yellow.

"Have children... I believe having children with our husband is more important than vacation. Our past life children have already entered the cycle of reincarnation. I think we should have children in this life, right?" Mina said, taking a moment for herself.

"And we should raise them right."

"I... I haven't thought about that," Ruby said with an expressionless face.

"Why are you suddenly talking about having children? Aren't we too young?" Aurora asked with suspicion.

"Did you guys forget about my innate ability?" Mina pointed at her right-side yellowish eye, which was glowing with an ethereal light.

"You... You have that ability in this life too? How is that possible?"

"It's not that surprising. Innate abilities are sometimes bound to you on a soul level. It is possible to reincarnate with abilities from the past," Sam explained.

Mina's unique ability, while simple, was terrifying.

It could be considered one of the most powerful abilities—a form of clairvoyance, allowing her to see future events like watching a football game. If mastered, it could even let her influence time.

"Did you see the future? Did you see us having children? Is that why you are saying that?" Ruby brought her face close to Mina's, as if searching her soul for answers.

"I... I kind of did, yes," Mina replied uncomfortably, not liking the expression on Ruby's face.

"Did you see what my daughter looked like?"

"No, it was just images. Wait, first of all, how do you know you would be having a daughter in the future?"

"So, I have a daughter in the future you saw, is that right?"

"No, I mean, I don't know. I only saw glimpses of the future. I still have trouble controlling my ability. Most of the time, it acts on its own. I can't quite figure out the trigger."

While Ruby and Mina were bantering about the possible future, Aurora, Nisha, and Melina were chatting about what their daughter would be like.

Sam watched their interaction with a small smile, not disturbing their moment and simply enjoying himself in silence.

"So, tell us, what did you see?" Nisha pulled Mina's hand, urging her to share what she had witnessed in their future.

"Before she tells you, remember, the future is always changing. It's not fixed, so don't get your hopes high. Do you understand?" Sam reminded them.

The future is a complex concept.

What is it, really? It's something yet to happen, something that may occur in the near or distant future.

It's constant but also ever-changing with every action taken.

For instance, let's say Mina sees a significant event involving Ruby in the future and shares it with her.

This information might alter Ruby's choices, leading to a completely different future from the one Mina originally foresaw.

But then there's another complication.

If the future changes due to Mina's intervention, wouldn't that mean the future she initially saw has also changed?

If that's the case, then the future Mina saw and the new future created because of her intervention, which led Ruby to make different choices, would be the same future, wouldn't it?

Time travel is a mind-bending concept. Trying to explain it simply almost made me lose half my brain.

It's because of this chaos that everyone advises against meddling with time.

And they're right, but not to Sam. He understands it very well.

If he wasn't sure about it, he wouldn't be allowing Mina to speak about the future in the first place.

While Mina was explaining the future she saw to her fellow wives, there was something interesting happening in the Black Tortoise Continent.
