Chapter 415 Sit At Home and Have Fun


    Morning, the next day, In apanied Asaeya and Gann as they rode a carriage to Karuta Hill. Their goal was the Mammoth Ancestor''s tusk that was ced in the valley adjacent to Karuta Hill as a scenic attraction.


    "Hehe!" Asaeya''s face beamed in smiles as she coiled herself around In''s left arm, snuggling up to him, "Things are fun."


    "Ha…haha," In smiled awkwardly in exhaustion. His eyes sported dark circles, for he hadn''t had a wink of sleep during the entire night. Honestly, his legs felt weak, trembling faintly all along. He stared at Asaeya and felt intimidated, ''Monster!''


    Asaeya had been gunning for it for eleven years after all. And hence, she was unstoppable once they copted, wringing him dry until he was exhausted of all Prana. Only then did she stop, unwillingly.


    "Hehe," She chuckled and increased the strength in her hold over him, staring at In to whisper as her eyes darted to the side, "Why don''t we…stop here for a while."


    "Not now, we have work to do," In said in a hurry.


    "We won''t lose anything by dying for a few hours." Asaeya nudged up to him, gently rubbing shoulders, "Say…won''t you? Come on…just a little."


    "Urgh, why am I even here?" Gann grumbled while seated opposite the two in the carriage. She hadn''t touched In, unwilling to read the memories of the night before.


    Honestly, mating wasn''t even a concept that flustered her. An Empyrean Tusk could treat all its Mammoth nsmen as Bone Slips. Meaning, it knew everything that was happening, from the Mammoth nsmen mating to even taking a crap.


    And as the Supreme Tusk''s sessor, the amount of data she had regarding just that was…monumental. But despite that, she held herself back and didn''t ess In''stest memories to avoid observing what her father did with Asaeya.


    It wasn''t as if she had to maintain her innocence. No, as an Empyrean Tusk, Gann knew everything. But, she didn''t read In''s memories out of fear.


    What if she essed his memories and instead of feeling embarrassed, treated it as nothing more than a mating session between two of her Mammoth nsmen? That was what she was afraid of the most.


    All Empyrean Tusks were born as Mammoth nsmen. As they grow older, their perception of the world shifts from a personal point of view to an omniscient point of view. They generally would begin to experience this once they take on their Empyrean Tusk form.


    It was because they viewed the world from such an omniscient perspective that they were worshipped as Deities not only by Mammoth nsmen but by many other races too. The only ones capable of this other than Empyrean Tusks were the Empyrean Snappers, the Boar King, and the Mystic Empyrean Tentacles.


    As a result, Gann was afraid. As her strength continued to increase, the omniscient perspective was bing part of her even while she was in her human form. After all, she had already transformed into an Empyrean Tusk a few times after getting the Tertiary Nature of Cultivator.


    As her Empyrean Tusk form was still tiny enough, she wasn''t worried about others detecting her. Moreover, she only did it at the bottom of the Northern Lakes far away from any signs of civilisation, using the porous walls covering thekes to block her appearance from detection.


    But after her first transformation into an Empyrean Tusk, the omniscient perspective began to invade her being. If she, after looking through In''s mating scene, was calm instead of being flustered like a girl at her mental age, it meant that her mental development had progressed tremendously.


    She had already begun to look at In as a Mammoth nsman part of her settlement instead of her beloved father. She could still have her bias towards him, but not unlike now where she could even kill other Mammoth nsmen on his behalf.


    Once the omniscient perspective fully kicks in, she''ll consider all Mammoth nsmen as part of her. She won''t be able to favour In while harming others. Moreover, when nsmen with the Fragment Disease start to appear in her Settlement, she''d instinctively value them more than In.


    Gann didn''t want to be like that so soon, which was why she was afraid.


    Staring at her, In could guess her worries, since Gann''s progression as a Deity was steadily increasing, "Are you afraid?"


    "Yes," Gann nodded, "I am very much afraid, afraid that you''ll stop meaning as much to me as you do now."


    "That''s nature," In said, "Children eventually grow out of the protective shell created by their parents and face the world on their own."


    "But I don''t like it!" Gann screamed shrilly, "Can''t I just be like this?"


    "If you want that, you can." In said, "And I''ll help you with everything at my disposal."


    He extended his index finger and pointed at her forehead, "Keep the Inhibition Needle safe. Once I get the Major Treasure of Attribute, I''ll be able to develop it into a Minor Treasure. With that, you can remain a Free Human."


    "It''s only possible for a single body, but…" In patted her head as Gann jumped into his embrace and began to cry, "Alright, alright, don''t feel sad. Just tell me what you want without worrying, alright?"


    "I''m a capable dad."


    "Mmhm," Gann nodded, "I''ll consume a bunch of Influence Easing Elixirs to suppress my instincts. I won''t be a Deity for another decade."


    "That''s the spirit," In said and activated his Empyrean Slip Prime Skill to better understand her worries by essing her mind. But suddenly, he stopped and shot a re at Asaeya, "What the fuck is that?"


    "What?" Asaeya looked around in confusion, unable to understand what he was talking about.


    Grabbing her wrist in anger, In growled, "Akashic Rupture? That''s your Tertiary Nature? Didn''t we discuss and n for another Tertiary Nature before? Sacrificing yourself to inflict pain on the Boar King! Are you mad?"


    "I''m not going to use it unless necessary…" Asaeya stopped talking, unable to speak anymore, feeling an absolute chill as a voracious presence exploded out of In. Even Gann was unable to move, feeling as if her mind had frozen in fear.


    Subjected to a presence that was akin to a sea of bugs scuttling about, capable of devouring everything theye in contact with in an instant, a primal sense of fear budded in her being, preventing her from even making a response.


    It was only for an instant, but felt like an eternity for the two. Having only unleashed it to the confines of the carriage, In retracted it and red at Asaeya, "Never! I mean, never use that shit! Okay?"


    "Y-Yes," Asaeya nodded meekly.


    "Your only task is to sit at home and have fun, alright?" In red at her and patted her head, "Don''t worry about things like facing the Boar King."


    "You too," In stared at Gann, "Don''t put your life at risk, no matter the situation."


    "But, what if your life''s at risk?" Gann argued, "Do you mean to tell me to sit back and watch?"


    "Yes," In said coldly, "If I die, Bl will revive me. It''s as simple as it gets. If I fail, I''ll start from scratch."


    "But you two only have one life. So, it''s more precious." In said and pped his hands, masking his anger as heughed cheerfully, "Your safety is my priority, alright?"


    "Don''t worry about others or anything else and just have fun cultivating." He chuckled, "We''ll go visit scenic locations to sightsee."
