After Sam finished explaining everything about the codex, its communication, and the title it bestowed upon them as his Eternal companions, he let out a sigh and patiently awaited the girls' responses.
The complexity of Sam's explanation left the girls deep in thought, with Alia experiencing such a ntal strain that she contemplated burning everything around her to find solace.
"Darling, tell sothing. Do you know who the Revered Matron of the Qilin Race is?" Yuna asked with a serious expression.
Sam, being honest, admitted that he knew nothing about the ancestors of any race, including dragons, let alone the Revered Matron of the Qilin Race. He shook his head in response.
"Let explain, darling. To understand, we have to start with how we Qilins ca to be as we are today. Like any other race, we were born from a single entity, our progenitor. For us, it's the Astral Qilin progenitor," Yuna began to explain. "The Astral Qilin progenitor had the ability to create pure-blooded Qilins by transforming non-supernatural beings and mortals into Qilins." read-first-at-MVLeMpYr
Yuna continued to explain that this ability was a common trait among the progenitors of all races—they could create pure-blooded beings of their respective race and even establish unique lineages within that race.
"For instance, among the Qilins, there was only one type known as the Lightning Qilins, capable of manipulating lightning. While royals like us and lower-rank Qilins belong to this category, the point is that Qilins were primarily elental beings of lightning."
"But if the progenitor wished, they could create Qilins of other elents. The sa holds true for the progenitors of other races," Yuna clarified.
"And these progenitors, capable of creating entire civilizations, didn't just erge from nothing. Like everyone, they had to be birthed by soone. The one who gave birth to our Astral Qilin progenitor is whom we call the Revered Matron of the Qilin Race."
"I know all of this because I'm a princess and a direct descendant of the Astral Qilin progenitor. To be precise, our Fulmine Clan is itself a direct descendant of the progenitor," Yuna explained.
Alia, as if recalling sothing, suddenly spoke up, "It's the sa story with noble vampires. Our Vampire progenitor also had a mother, whom we call the Mother of Eternal Thirst."
Lenora, curious about Ophelia's heritage, asked, "What about you, Ophelia? Aren't all the Celestial Dragon clans in existence direct descendants of the Dragon progenitor?"
"Are we?" Sam squinted his eyes in inquiry.
"Yes, darling," Ophelia confird. "As the heir of our clan, you have to learn everything about the history of the world."
"I guess I should," Sam nodded helplessly.
"As for the mother of our progenitor, she was called the Blood Mother of the Celestial Dragons," Ophelia's expression changed as she realized the connection she seed to share with her fellow wives.
"Our Lycan progenitor's mother was known as the Mother Alpha of the Lycan race," Lenora held her chin as she revisited her theories.
"All four of us are the direct descendants of our respective races' progenitors. All four of us can feel and share the Sennyu Resonance with darling, and the codex in darling's possession identifies us as the mothers of our respective races' progenitors," Lenora slowly said.
Ophelia, understanding what Lenora was trying to convey, continued, "The codex also says that we are darling's eternal companions...could it be?"
Yuna's eyes widened, "Are we the reincarnations of the mothers of the progenitors?"
Reincarnation was not a new concept in the world of cultivations. So geniuses were even believed to be the reincarnations of emperors and immortals from the past. So might rember their past lives, while others don't. Therefore, when Yuna posed this thought, they didn't consider it impossible.
"We missed sothing very crucial," Alia raised her hand. "If our races' progenitors had mothers, then there should surely be fathers, right? After all, it takes two people to make a baby, a father and a mother."
Yuna shook her head, "There isn't much known or written about the father of Progenitors, except that he was a higher form of being than even the progenitors themselves. All the progenitors of the races that existed long before shared the sa father."
"Are you saying that all the mothers of the progenitors shared the sa man? The progenitors are all siblings? Does that an all beings in the world have the sa origin?" Lenora asked, unaware of this piece of information.
"At least that's what I read from the Ancient Journals," Yuna replied.
"Actually, what you said is exactly what I learned from my father. The progenitors of all races had the sa father," Ophelia said with a thoughtful expression.
"If we go with our story and assu that we are, in fact, reincarnations of the mothers of progenitors of our respective races, then who is the reincarnation of the father of all progenitors? The one who is the highest form of existence ever to appear, the one said to be the origin of all races," Lenora said, her one eye focused on Sam with a suspecting expression.
Following Lenora's gaze, the other girls also looked at Sam with a baffled expression.
Sam suddenly felt nervous under their accusing eyes. "I know what you guys are thinking. I have also considered the possibility that I might be the reincarnation of the highest-ranked being ever, who could have been the father of all progenitors."
"Are you?" Ophelia asked.
"Honestly, I don't know. All I have is the information I gained from this codex, and of course, there is also the Sennyu Resonance, which I only seem to sense from specific won."
"Won who are direct descendants of each race's progenitors?" Ophelia continued.
"I guess," Sam sighed.
The group fell into silence, each of them with their own thoughts. Sam beca extrely nervous, seeing their peculiar expressions. 'They wouldn't leave because of this unexplainable, or should I say, fate-related kind of situation we are in now, would they?'
With every passing second, Sam grew even more nervous, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, and his eyes turning a little red.
Little did he know, the girls were already aware of his feelings through their connection to him via their insignias in his inner world.
"Darling, you're thinking too much again," Alia leaned her body on him as she hugged him, putting his head in her bosom.
"Yes, darling, even if this vampire left, I will always be with you," Lenora said, pushing Alia aside and hugging him.
"M- too, I won't leave you," Yuna held his hand lovingly.
"I love you regardless," Ophelia slowly said, massaging his shoulder a little.
"Hmm," Sam nodded with a smile.
Alia suddenly had a strange but sensible thought, which frankly irritated her. "Darling, if we are right about our theory, won't there be more won like us who could be the reincarnations of the mothers of their respective races' progenitors?"
"Now that you ntion it, there should be others like us since every progenitor shared the sa father but different mothers," Yuna mused, holding her chin in thought.
"Basically, what you're saying is that other won like us, who are direct descendants of progenitors and also mothers of the progenitors, are just waiting for Sam to find them," Lenora said, slightly irritated like Alia.
"Yes, there are other races that had their own progenitors. So of them, whom I have t in the past, are Vermilion Birds, Star Peacocks, the Heavenly Beast Race, and Heavenly Golden Crows."
"It looks like our family will grow even bigger than it already is. I wonder what our mother-in-law's reactions will be," Ophelia couldn't help but imagine.
"Even I wonder how my mom would react to that future scenario," Sam mused, trying to suppress his excitent.
"Are you excited because you will have more won for yourself, darling?" Alia playfully pinched Sam's chest. "It doesn't matter how many won will co; I will be the best daughter-in-law of the Hailstorm Clan."
"That's just wishful thinking. Frankly, it will never happen as long as I'm the favorite daughter-in-law around here," Lenora proudly patted her chest.
"We will see about that," Alia snorted with a grin.
