"Father." A pair of small hands tugged at Chloe and said, "You promised to take to the lantern festival today."
"Sure, but Nia, have you finished your howork?"
Nia's little face instantly fell.
"So, Dad, do I really have to destroy those rule-breaking universes? They're perfectly fine."
"Those are failed products related to the developnt of the World Group's exploration, all so non-functioning, rule-violating universes."
"But why destroy them? It's such a waste."
"The rule-breaking universes don't even have stable space and matter, and even basic rules don't follow causality. Rember the super star cluster organism your brother created?"
"I rember, why?"
Chloe thought of his eldest son and said with a pained expression, "Though the rule-breaking universes' chaotic rules should an the probability of evolving species in such extre environnts is very low, it's not impossible.
Once a new species evolves, it's usually quite bizarre.
Your brother's rule-breaking universe organism, when exposed to the sun for a day, its power would double.
Even though it started out weak, not much stronger than an ant, within a few years, it evolved into a humanoid black hole, devouring all life in the universe at an incredible speed.
The result is, such a universe makes the Genesis reset process more troubleso."
As Chloe said this, Nia's expression beca subtle, instinctively turning her head away.
Chloe poked at his little daughter's face and said, "Did you add sothing to the rule-breaking universes I asked you to destroy?"
"..."
"Really added sothing? Was it intentional or accidental?"
"Actually, when I was passing by Mom's All Things lab, I accidentally knocked over an instrunt, causing so Water of All Things to fall into the rule-breaking universe."
"Seriously? What evolved?"
"That thing looks so weird, just looking at it makes feel dizzy. Dad, didn't you bless with the Creator's protection? Why do I still feel dizzy?"
Nia was embraced by Chloe, and they stepped out of the room.
The surrounding space twisted, and in the next mont, they appeared in a bustling city.
"Nether River waterlon, Titanium Gold mango, anyone interested?"
"Co, co, guess the lantern riddles! Guess correctly and win a one-day tour of the Death God Divine Kingdom, plus a 300-day trial coupon for the Divine Kingdom's vice governor. Friends wanting to beco Angels, don't miss out!"
"Breaking news, the Immortal Buddha is having a life or death battle with the Nether River Dominator in the Sky Arena, the loser eats dust, and cannot descend with their true form to the Terrarium for 100 years..."
The streets were bustling, Chloe had a smile at the corners of his eyes.
"What, afraid to speak with Mom at ho just now, now Dad has brought you out, and you're still afraid to speak?"
Nia stuck out her tongue and said cutely:
"Dad, that creature is so weird; it can fuse with all things. Anything it touches becos part of its body, even more outrageous than Uncle Louis's Limuru next door."
Chloe poked at Nia's little cheek and said, "You are a novice Creator, how can you view low-dinsional organisms with bias? Their way of living is naturally this way."
"They?"
"Yes, it's a group of hive mind organisms, seemingly a single entity, but can directly evolve themselves into all things.
This is a new theory proposed by your mom when deepening the Uniqueness of All Things, and unsurprisingly, when you observed that universe from a high-dinsional perspective, since they've beco part of the universe, you were probably being watched by them quite a lot."
"No wonder when I inspect the universe, I always feel peered at everywhere."
"This universe isn't usable, but the data on this species can be preserved. If you want to keep them, find ti to reshape a copy in the synthesis furnace, but rember to curb their desire for infinite expansion, otherwise, this life form is prone to cause trouble."
Even though she's in her teens, perhaps influenced by both parents, Nia's physique hasn't grown much.
She held her father's hand and said:
"Really? Dad, can I really keep them?"
"The New Universe needs more possibilities, occasionally creating so variables is also within reasonable bounds, your little mom also made a few interesting things."
Nia hesitated for a mont.
Then whispered, "Which little mom?"
Chloe: "..."
"Not for now."
"Got it, the new little mom."
"..."
For so reason, Chloe felt a flicker of disdain in his daughter's eyes.
He was oblivious to it, just pretended not to see.
Those who maintain a harem are like this.
Since they enjoy the happiness of the harem, they must also pay the price.
For example, his dignity as a father collapses in front of his daughter.
"Lord Chloe," a Saint approached him and said, "Is there anything we can assist you with?"
"No, I'm just taking my daughter out for a stroll."
"Shall we send soone to help you?"
"No need."
Chloe waved his hand.
Although Chloe said so, the Saint wasn't so careless as to think he could entirely ignore the matter. He still inford the nearby lantern festival duty Saints to keep an eye on things, in case the lord needed support.
Of course.
None of them were foolish enough to think anyone could harm that lord within the Terrarium.
Though, after creating the Terrarium, Lord Chloe didn't usually manage affairs beyond maintaining its underlying rules and order, his power was undeniable.
But.
Their outing quickly reached a certain place.
Before long, in a corner of the lantern festival, Nia, who was munching on candied hawthorns while holding Chloe's hand, was picked up:
"Haven't you already eaten a lot of desserts today?" Lilith said helplessly to her daughter.
During Chloe's journey to the Star Realm for the World Group's grand battle, Lilith gave birth to Nia.
However, due to the intense subsequent battles, she didn't have much ti to accompany her daughter.
Thus, after establishing the Terrarium, she tried to fulfill her daughter's desires as much as she could within her authority.
Fortunately, Nia wasn't a mischievous child, usually very obedient.
Chloe also said that after the Terrarium was established, even so root-level micro projects could not be perfected in a short period.
So, they spent a lot of ti nurturing their child.
"Do you rember what Mom told you?" Lilith poked Nia's nose.
Nia said with a giggle, "I know, Nia is already a lady, must restrain when needed."
But Little Nia blinked and added:
"But Mom also said to be as happy as possible when it's ti to be happy."
Her daughter grabbed her mom's hand and then her dad's hand.
Lilith laughed quietly, feeling her daughter was indeed mature and sensible.
She turned and glared at Chloe jokingly: "You see, when will you be as sensible as our daughter?"
Chloe: ???
Is there a relation between our daughter's words and being sensible?
He was not convinced and went in for a kiss.
"Why, our daughter is right here."
"Then let her be, seeing parents being affectionate is a child's destiny, isn't it?"
Nia didn't say anything.
Just patted her little bag, saying, "Ratotip, my parents are being affectionate and have forgotten about again."
Inside the bag, a shadow slowly squird—a Nyarlatotep secretly brought out of the rule-breaking universe without parental permission, looking speechless.
Oh, my great little princess.
Don't you see your parents are staring at right now?
Why would you think I could leave the rule-breaking universe easily without your parents' consent?
Of course.
Nyarlaotep knew it absolutely could not say this to the little princess.
Because on the day it ascended, the Dominator of this Multiverse told it:
"I want my daughter to retain a bit more innocence, you understand my intention, right?"
At that mont, Nyarlaotep nodded so fast it left an afterimage.
Suddenly, fireworks burst in the sky.
Nia's attention was caught by the fireworks.
"Dad, Mom, it's fireworks!"
The light reflected on the family of three plus one ineffable being, and smiles spread across their faces.
