"Having a picnic, beautiful?" Pef wondered while observing his wife.

Yuan had indeed become even more beautiful, the passing of time only enhancing her features, and she wasn't wearing a veil.

"Pef! You're back!" she exclaimed at once and flew into his embrace.

Our hero dutifully groped her body while waiting for her excitement to pass. Soon enough, Yuan began breathing a bit harder, and drew back a little. "No time for that now. There are rock worms here, Pef."

"I figured. But a few kisses won't endanger the galaxy." he whispered as he drew his wife closer.

...

After some time, the couple landed on a planet and Pef began observing the beasts as they were taking over. Plants were still not affected, but animals and beasts were quickly succumbing to the plague, becoming incubators for more worms.

"It's so sad. I can contain the damn worms, but everything would burn." Yuan sobbed softly, tears dripping on her pretty face.

With a flick, Pef called his gun into his hand. "You can do selective targeting, right?"

Inside the inner world, the armored woman measured Pef with stern eyes. "Select target then."

"Rock worms, carrying the plague. One hundred light-years radius." he decided as a test.

His own coresense was smaller, and could barely reach the nearest star, but he knew the power word gun wasn't limited like him.

"This will hurt." Reason replied with a sigh and began her song, locking down the Void for 100 light-years and exterminating the worms.

And indeed, as soon as the range of the golden waves passed the 3 light-year mark, the recoil of the weapon became unbearably painful. Pef fainted in Yuan's arms, while his soul burned.

A million years later, or perhaps only a minute, Pef awoke with his head in Yuan's lap.

'Your qi purity has risen to 33 percent. Luckily I trained you to withstand pain from a young age. Or perhaps it wasn't luck at all.' the glove said in a wry tone, and explaining so much with a careless remark.

'Thank you, my orange glove. I am grateful for your help.' Pef grumbled inward. He was truthful though.

Without the glove's constant support, he would have died long ago, and never achieved his cultivation rank. Even if it did hurt at times.

Scanning around with his coresense, he could immediately tell that this planet at least was clean and purified. Although most animals had died, some had not and would quickly repopulate the world.

Pef began landing a Legion regiment and their dependents on the planet, while the orbit filled with a hundred spaceships.

Beside the humans and ants, a third of the troops were devils, gained by winning the Firestorm Barony.

"Soldier T' lik. You have command of the Firestorm regiment. Here is some Godbeast blood and bloodwine. Pacify and colonize this galaxy. And let me know if you find more rock worms." Pef told the Tier 2 ant warrior, and passed him a storage ring containing a precious blood jar made of white jade and a few barrels of blood wine.

"It will be done Commander. We'll begin setting up maize fields at once." the ant replied in a dignified tone.

His 4-meter-long body now sported a human torso on top, although the features were not quite realistic, falling more into an uncanny valley of insect-like jaws and wise human eyes.

With a nod, Pef drew Yuan into his inner world and Blinked away, heading for Ardania.

Again, the trip to that nearby galaxy took only a day. Folding the Void for travel had become easy and instinctive now, and with more practice, even easier.

Yuan needed only five drops of Godbeast blood to cross from the second into third tier, and she didn't even explode.

Pef was a bit surprised, but Reason wasn't.

"Her constitution is special, as you already know. To produce those healing tears, the body itself must be resilient to all types of infection or poison." the weapon said waiting beside Pef's avatar, as Yuan ascended with such ease.

"These special body types, are they more common in the Great Realm?" Pef asked curious.

"... About as common as transmigration without the required cultivation rank. Thousands, over billions of years in billions of universes." Reason replied with a thin smile.

Pef nodded sagely. Not common at all then.

Outside, he landed in the Imperial Court, and held out a hand for Yuan. His wife emerged into the courtyard as a Tier 3 Highgod, her aura vibrating a blinding white in his soul vision.

Arden and Gaia arrived in a minute, hand in hand.

"You! It takes five thousand years to visit me?" Arden yelled pointing at Pef with an accusing finger.

Pef grinned widely, and stepped forward to hug his friend. "I brought wine." he whispered in fake secret.

Arden glanced towards his wife for a second. "Fine. It better be the best wine in the universe!" he allowed with a mellow voice, and drew Gaia closer.

Pef smiled at the green-haired goddess, and patted her hair. "You look good Gaia. How many kids?"

"A dozen or so. Who keeps count?" the nature goddess answered with a gruff voice.

Soon enough, fifteen kids were paraded in front of the visitors, all of them cultivators of medium ranks. The firstborn was already a Tyrant, which wasn't bad at all.

Arden himself was a Monarch rank now, quite a decent achievement for a peaceful place like this.

Even the Legion's cultivation wouldn't work miracles when lacking stronger enemies to defeat and absorb some of their cultivation for yourself.

Pef poured more wineblood for the two rulers, and waited until Arden crossed into the Saint rank.

"Good wine, right?" he asked smugly.

"Yeah. Always full of surprises, my friend. How is Aria?" Gaia asked instead, sipping the dao wine with concentration.

"Doing well enough, I guess. She's at the peak of Tier 2. And she has a Legion knife now." Pef explained while taking out a mind stone containing some memories, and passing it to Gaia.

Arden was still in deep meditation, consolidating his Saint rank, while Gaia read the imprint stone and learning of Pef's adventures in the devil galaxy.

"You're Gael, right?" Pef asked the Tyrant rank kid.

"I am, Lord Pef. And thank you for the gift of life. Mother told me how I came to be, inside your inner world." the green haired boy answered politely.

'Wanna become a god, today?' Pef asked furtively, with a mind transmission.

'With that special wine?' the kid replied curious, coming closer and entering the 5-meter range.

Pef smirked and instantly kidnapped Gael and drew him inside the inner world. "This is your birthplace Gael. It will always be your home. And Reason there, she is your godmother." the avatar explained pointing at the armored woman.

Reason smiled kindly and nodded.

"Oh! Nice to meet you, godmother!" Gael exclaimed with wide eyes, and bowed like before an Emperor.

"Arden tried to teach you the Legion method, but he is not divine yet. For a partial imprint it's not too bad. You want the whole thing, young Gael?" Reason asked with her lips not moving.

Gael nodded eagerly, and the weapon spoke a single word.

In a minute, Arden's kid started sweating profusely, while enduring the transformation pain.

"We'll start slowly, with some blood wine. It will ease the pain as well." Pef explained gently and handed him a gourd bottle full of wine.

By the time the bottle was finished, Gael had ascended past Monarch and into Saint rank, just like his father.

"This is amazing, Lord Pef. It still hurts, but is bearable now." Gael said with a grin and wiped his tears away. Then he began jumping and flying around to test his new powers.

On a whim, Pef drew Arden inside as well, and then Gaia.

"Gael? Already a Saint? Thanks Pef!" Arden said proudly and patted the avatar on the shoulder.

"He seems really happy. Too bad he has to die now." Pef remarked in a somber tone, flicking a drop of Godbeast blood down Gael's grinning mouth.

As expected, Gael grew red and climbed the cultivation scales rapidly, until he exploded into blood mist.

Then Arden punched Pef in the jaw. "Idiot! Bullying me is one thing. What did my child did to deserve that?" Arden yelled while nursing a broken wrist.

"He asked for it, young Arden." Reason explained and held a hand on Arden's shoulder.

"Damn kids. Always doing stupid things." Arden muttered as he sat down and grabbed another bottle of wine.

"By her Grace, you are summoned back to life and duty, recruit Gael." Reason spoke out loud, reforming Gael into a Tier 1 Physical God, her Words compressing the blood mist into an adult body.

Gaia sighed audibly and sipped more blood wine, with a thankful nod towards Reason.

"What do you say, Arden? Wanna become a god as well?" Pef wondered with a smug face. Who wouldn't?

The blonde man grit his teeth. "I need better friends..." he muttered in defeat. Still, he nodded.
