After what happened with Faylen, she was left exhausted, so I carried her to my room, where my wives had already been updated about her through another of my bodies that were with them.

She was sleeping, but her big soul wound had now completely healed, and she seemed filled with divine energy and power. The Dual Cultivation Ability was outstanding! And Faylen had been the beta tester per se.

It also filled me with energy, and I think I even gained stats and divine energy as well! There were also attribute particles generated, I gained a few emotion and illusion attribute particles, and even darker ones. It seems that Faylen's divinity might be related to darkness.

This means that I can get attribute particles depending on the attribute of my partner… But this doesn't mean that I steal them or something, they're generated through ?nt?r??urs? and the Yin and Yang energies rotating.

What is Yin and Yang Rotation? I don't really know the details, but in all Xianxia novels, this is the excuse on why Dual Cultivation is a thing. The male and the females are the Yin and Yang, and through ?nt?r??urs?, their different energies mix and generate new power.

I suppose this is the case for me and my girls? Though I suppose I am both male and female, so I have both Yin and Yang? Well, if such energies even exist, that might be the case.

But where are these energies? Are they separate from divine energy, primordial essence, vitality, mana, and soul energy?

Could it be that they originate from another place? Or perhaps instead of pure visible energies, they are like an essence that resides in everything.

Maybe there could even be a Dao of Yin and Yang… Well, whatever. I can't find out now, and none of the people I know has an idea what these energies are here, nor do any of the memories I possess have a clue either.

Maybe this power is just transcendental and not completely perceivable unless the world uses it? Perhaps there could be Cultivation Worlds out there? Like the real deal?

Maybe… or maybe not.

As I put Faylen over the bed, my wife began to talk about her.

"Oh my, Faylen is really a pretty girl. Elves are blessed with such smooth skin and natural magical essence… I suppose we never had Elves in here until she came here, and you brought her entire Kingdom… Do you plan to convince the arrogant elves with her help?" asked Zehe, her crimson-red eyes gleaming with interest.

"Indeed, I will ask for her help. Making her my wife came at the moment… Sorry about that, I know all of you are a lot already and I should really contain myself a bit…" I sighed.

"What are you talking about, Masta? It's fine, gu! Faylen-chan is very cute. And I think that it was very nice of you to save her from Envy…" said Rimuru.

"Well she already has your scent and you've bedded her, so we can't say anything against it any longer. I like to cooperate with the rest of the girls if possible, so don't worry. She is indeed a cutie like Rimuru said. Maybe we could play around with her a bit…" said Nesiphae.

"Play with her a little bit? Nesiphae doesn't get all ??wd now…" I sighed.

"Ahah! I was joking~! Or am I~?" she asked teasingly, as her snake tongue came out of her mouth sometimes just like a real snake.

"Not funny didn't laugh," I said.

"I'm glad you kept the girl, she was mixed into this whole ordeal, and was going to be used as a tool by the miserable Gods." Said Brontes.

"Yeah, you're right. I believe the Dragon Gods also have other mortals like this," I said.

"Oh, who?" asked Zehe.

"Erm, do you girls recall David Armand? That one Champion of Fire of Athetosea," I said.

"Eh? Who?" asked Rimuru.

"I don't even remember their faces anymore, I feel like that war was long ago," said Nesiphae.

"I kind of remember there was a guy of fire," said Zehe.

"Hm… Sorry but I don't remember any of them, I think you once said all their names but… they entered through one of my ears and came out from the other," sighed Brontes.

However, some of the other girls who were formerly from Athetosea knew him.

"Oh yes, a fellow Champion… Been a long time since the last time I heard his name. Well, most of them are dead and have reincarnated as Nephiana's children, right?" asked Nanako with a calm smile.

"Eh? They are what?!" asked Nephiana, she was so shocked that her feathers flew all over.

"Well yeah, but they had forgotten these memories, and are more like new people now," I said.

"What?! I didn't know that… Well, you're right… I guess… I already love them so I can't change my mind now… Though, it's kind of weird that such a thing happened, chuupi!" said Nephiana while getting serious, which only made her look cuter.

"David Armand, it is my name I didn't think I would hear again… I thought he had died devilishly… Didn't he died?" asked Acelina, she was the sister of the queen of Athetosea, so she knew about these champions quite well.

"I had b?r?ly interacted with him, but he was overall a very good man… Though I also thought he had become the harpy chicks… He didn't?" asked Ismena, flapping her bu??erfly wings.

"I also thought he died…" said Nanako.

"Well nope. He didn't die, he managed to escape through a special underground route with his family and party of servants, and has been going around the entire Realm growing stronger to protect his family… And well, he was caught by the Dragon God schemes. Though, he was the one that Zudig ate… Remember that rotten dragon god who is now Zubekh? Well, his physical body was David," I said.

All of this info was gotten from the memories of the Gods that knew all of this.

"Oh my, that's quite the plot twist… Well, not like I care anymore about him, nor I particularly did before. …So? We'll get to kill him?" asked Acelina, she was rather eager to try her divine powers.

"Aunt doesn't be so rude!" said Ismena.

"Ah, Ismena-chan, don't get angry! I was just thinking that if he gets on our way, why wouldn't we dispose of him?" asked Acelina.

"I don't have anything to say over this. But let's hear what Kireina-sama has to say," said Jonette, at the side of Alice. Jonette was also the sister of Acelina, so she nodded after hearing her sister speak.

"Well, the thing is, David might be gone, but Zudig only managed to get this guy, he had a whole party of potential Heroes as side characters sort of deal. So these potential heroes filled with talent were taken by the Dragon Gods who serve the central continent…" I said.

"Ah, those losers that obey the central continent Gods, the very ones that discriminate against non-human gods? If Hodhyl and Merveim were here they would get angry," sighed Agatheina.

"Yeah, that very loser trio. I believe that the two-headed poison dragoness from the Dark Steppes that joined us knew about them as well, but she separated from them before they were to begin their preparations and used these future heroes… Well, the thing is, they nourished these heroes into powerful gods with everything they had, and then took over their bodies and fused with their souls… Now, funnily enough, the Dragon Gods don't even hold the appearance of Dragons," I said.

"What?! So those damn dragons took over the innocent allies of David?" asked Nanako.

"They did say they were going to help them, but at the end they used them. Well, these Dragons are not so different from me, and I really shouldn't pity my former enemies. Although the Athetosea Heroes had become my children, they all had lost such memories and had grown as new people, I shouldn't really care… But I am beginning to think that I should pity them, in regards to my children's past lives…" I sighed.

"Ah… It is a heavy topic to talk about, Master… But I believe that you're a good-hearted woman deep inside. Albeit you are ruthless sometimes, it's always with a purpose behind it, and it is always with the noble purpose of protecting those you love. And even then, you're capable of repenting for the things you think did wrong in the past… Although you killed part of my family, it was because we were at war, and even though I never held any grudge against you, you were gentle enough to secure prosperous lives to the survivors, my squirrel-kin, who had grown up to the thousands by now… Those fallen souls might be happy to know that you had secured the future of their descendants and family. I am sure that you can also do acts of kindness for these lost souls," said Kaguya with a sweet smile, as her fluffy tail wrapped around me.

She is usually silent, but she surprised me with these words.

"Yeah, why not? Kireina-sama, perhaps against enemies you can be ruthless, but these people are no enemies anymore, and if you want to save them, let's save them," said Sofarpia.

"Yeah! I know Master is a benevolent and good woman too. If you weren't, I would have never fallen in love with you so much," said Sofelaia. The two centaur twins filled my heart with a lot of love with such kind words.

"You girls…" I muttered, feeling all embarrassed.

"W-Well! Talking in regards to my children's past lives, it would be nice to at least do this for them. I believe you already possess enough power over souls to be able to devour these dragons and then retrieve the pieces of soul that belonged to the heroes, right?" asked Nephiana.

"Yeah, it shouldn't be so different from the purification method I use with the Gods, I only devour their power, but their souls remain, as mortal souls without divinity, and they can live in prosperity here," I said. This was because I ended pitying these Gods who had worked so hard in life and reached so far surviving only to die miserably at the end. Even if they were enemies, I was so selfish I needed to do it, so I ended doing that.

Now I had a whole army of former God souls in the Heaven Layer of my Divine Realm. They are like a council of Gods helping me there. As they still possess their experiences and such.

For example, even with Hephaestus memories, if there wasn't his soul here helping me make the forgery formation, I would have taken way longer, and it wouldn't have been as perfect as it is.

"I see. That would be a noble thing to do. But what will you do with them? Will you keep the bodies?" asked Nanako.

"No, I think they could give me some power so I might end up eating them as well, but I will just give them even better bodies using the genes I will extract from their original bodies… or maybe I could reincarnate them into new lives," I said.

"Hm, that would be a nice thing to do, and we can go all out against those devilish Dragons, right? Fufu~! I can't wait to slice them up then!" said Acelina.

"It will be an entertaining experience… but what about David?" wondered Ismena.

"David might be already long gone, if he was truly eaten by the vicious Zudig… he might be even more mixed now that those three Gods fused together," I said.

"Didn't you eat a large piece of them? Was David not there?" asked Nanako.

"I got some Skills related to him but no, David wasn't there," I said.

"Perhaps his consciousness is gone then…" said Nanako.

"Hm well, not like we care that much, but if whenever I get to actually eat Zubekh completely, I will try to find him around," I said.

"Yeah, that's good enough," said Brontes.

After this long chit-chat, we decided to spend the rest of the day Dual Cultivating intensively.
