Yuna was still reminiscing about the past, believing that Lucas was the heir to her dearest friend, who had chosen a different path than she had. After such an event of Light confessing the truth, she was given a chance to choose.
Yuna didn’t waste any ti and chose to return to her previous life, and surprisingly, Light accepted it. Light wasn’t that evil in reality; those they killed were only those who they deed to be unwanted in society.
Those who were dead weights were the only ones who died by their hands, and surprisingly, Yuna was feeling bad about it. And at that point, returning to her previous life, she was accepted once again and eventually beca an official, a faction leader to be precise.
However, at that ti, a war broke out after a confidential discussion between the grand leaders of each continent was leaked.
There were four continents: the Northern, Eastern, Southern, and Western, and those who stood above were no one; they were equals.
But as such information leaked, a war broke out and anyone could only wonder what it was, but normal people couldn’t learn it. That information was only leaked to the leaders of the family, officials to be precise.
"A legacy to have the power to beco the ambassador of the Mortal Heaven."
It was a great feat, and that opportunity urged the subordinates of every leader to push for war. Why would they want a war? If they beco ambassadors, or if soone from their continent beca ambassador, it would bring opportunity to their continent.
Not just a asly opportunity, but the reigning power they wanted. The whole Mortal Heaven could be in their hands as well. And the resources that an ambassador could get will even benefit the land they ca from.
It was by greed, but as leaders of generations urged their lands, a war broke out, and there, Yuna, as one of the faction leaders, was tasked with bringing the dark sects onto their ground or beside them.
It was a hard task because, as she continued doing this task, she discovered that Light had beco a sect leader of a dark sect called the Heavenly Demon Sect.
A hard ti was felt, a different one that could break her heart. After just a cold encounter, for the benefit of their land, the dark sects agreed to help them, but only if they could still remain themselves without being convicted as criminals.
Of course, it would be impossible, but a deal was ford that if they joined the cause, they would be pardoned. Not just pardoned, but supported to have their sects established again.
However, it will be accepted only if they promise to stop the killing indiscriminately since they will be pardoned for their contribution to the war.
"I agree with the deal." Light uttered in between the contradictions the other sect masters from other sects wanted to form in the eting.
Yuna only smiled inwardly, and as soone accepted it, the other sects were pressured to accept it as well. And so, a new era for the eastern continent started.
In that war, plenty of people died, but nothing was gained from it, as everyone got their position back. The decision was made to pause the war for a while.
But as every continent suffered, the eastern continent also suffered hugely.
Plenty of mystical arts was destroyed, and even martial techniques were lost in that war that undermined the foundations of the land for generations.
Until Yuna beca the Sect Master of the sect her family holds and learned that her friend, Light, didn’t have any successors in his techniques, that not only weakened his sect but his future generations as well.
In so ways, it could be a demise for their family but a blessing for the continent. Not only were the authorities weakened, since establishing it was more ford after the war because the rivals in the land were also weakened, it also gave them a chance to take over them.
But still, even though the dark sects were weakened, they still had the power to reply to every attack. So when Yuna beca the matriarch of her family, she decided to stop pursuing them.
"What a pity for soone like Light not to have a successor. His techniques were strong enough that they could even rival my father’s despite the disparity in cultivation." Yuna comnted as she looked at the Heavenly Demon Sect from distance.
At such a point, after becoming the matriarch of the Xiao family, she established more authority over the land by creating officials in every region. And there the Great families were ford.

Lucas was not only curious, but he also had so theories about what might be happening on the continent. And since Ruby had lingered a thought in his head, he had so idea that Ruby might be connected to it as well.
Ruby planned what happened in the runway show, so a slight chance that she was connected with Yuna was ford in Lucas’s head. But of course, he didn’t dare to create an awkward atmosphere around them by asking about this affair.
He was only curious, but not to the point that he would carry such a heavyweight on his shoulders. It could be useful if Yuna made a deal with him over their affairs. If this happened, he could make use of the affair instead.
Lucas was breathing steadily as he looked at Yuna performing what he taught. It was the second form of dinsional storage, a spatial portal. It could teleport to a place registered by the portal, but that takes a long ti to learn and establish.
This was the last promised mystical art to be taught as Yuna gave Lucas more drops than he asked for. Two drops are enough, but, surprisingly, he was given three drops, and his conscience couldn’t stand the unfair trade.
One might also ponder what the Sacred Blood of Taulo is. Why does an array aster of so caliber that could have had a continental influence learn this?
It was only a legend from thousands of years ago before the Great World War, but that legend was well preserved even to this day, despite the lack of evidence. And array masters don’t doubt legends since they could also bring a promising result, which Lucas learned from his days.
Not only that, Wilford ntioned this to him, but Lucas was thinking practically since he knew that legends had so references.
But who could expect that the legend was surprisingly true and Yuna, the matriarch of the Xiao family, had it? It was only a one-in-a-million chance.
"Lady Yuna, after this, I might bid my farewell, as I am about to return to my place after this," Lucas said, with a soft tone.
Yuna pondered and asked Lucas, "Where do you live nowadays, Brother Lucas?"
Lucas could tell her that he is staying in the Profound Sect, but he doesn’t want to expose that he isn’t a successor of soone she knows. Lucas only created a lie just to be on good terms with Yuna, and perhaps the bond they created was so important to him that he didn’t want to break it.
It could be devastating to their sides if the relationship between them was damaged by a lie. And not knowing Yuna’s personality is a great factor that he should not overlook since she could turn into an enemy if this was exposed.
Lucas let out a sigh and shook his head at Yuna.
"I am sorry to tell you this, Lady Yuna, but I don’t want to expose where I currently live." Lucas rely said.
"I see..." Yuna said in a dispirited tone, but she did not dare expose such spirit to Lucas. It could crack so of the easy atmospheres around them.
"Well, I could co back here as your master if you want to." Lucas out of nowhere said that he didn’t even expect him to ntion it.
’What the heck... Why would I say sothing like that?’
Lucas was confused about it. Was it because of the easy environnt they had that he didn’t bother to think about what he said? He didn’t know and as such a thought lingered in his head, he eventually accepted it and tried to assess what to say next.
But not expecting Yuna’s reply, Lucas could only scoff at seeing Yuna’s reaction.
Yuna’s previously gloomy face beca lit with joy as she smiled at Lucas after hearing this suggestion.
"Really? Will you do that, Lucas? If you co back here or want to see , you can visit in the Center Region." Yuna said and paused for a second as she get sothing from her storage magic.
Lucas was surprised that Yuna was currently using it; he couldn’t help but comnt on it.
"You are now using it? Surprising."
Yuna giggled, then continued what she was doing. She took sothing from the storage and then gave it to Lucas. It was a dallion.
"Here. Just present it to the Center Region’s main city, the Sacred Cultivators’ City’s gate, and you will be accommodated."
Lucas smiled and accepted the dallion.
"You easily give such a valuable item that I wouldn’t dare to reject. Thank you, Lady Yuna."
"Of course, you don’t have to worry about it, Master, Brother Lucas." Then she chuckled after uttering it.
As he chuckled, Lucas also jumped into the joyful mont. And then, a week passed that eventually beca the day when Lucas would leave the Sacred Land.
