Chapter 547: Emperor, Dawn (2)

As Chang-Sun quietly looked back at him, asked with a frown, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“You also...”Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

“I did what?”

“...”

“What? Is there a problem? You should become an older brother-in-law if you have a problem.” raised one of his eyebrows.

“...It’s nothing.” Chang-Sun let out a long sigh.

Ye-Eun had told him a lot of stories about her family, so he knew that had a daughter. Perhaps Chang-Sun could nitpick about it... but he chose not to. Judging from the glare sent his way by , Chang-Sun had a feeling that he could end up with broken bones if he did it.

‘...It’s every Celestial’s lifelong dream to be an Emperor, but nothing much has changed with my position here.’ Chang-Sun unwittingly sighed again.

“I don’t like your attitude.” narrowed his eyes.

Chang-Sun stayed silent.

“I really don’t.”

“...”

“Anyway, is there anything you have to say?”

“...I’m sorry.”

“Alright. I’ll let it slide this time.” nodded.

Chang-Sun now knew for sure that there was no limit to how childish could get when it involved Cha Ye-Eun.

‘I’ll have to be careful for my entire life,’ Chang-Sun thought.

Chang-Sun had to assist in more work from now on, so he had more reasons to be careful...

『You’re really terrible at expressing yourself. I can’t believe how identical you are to Master.』

Pretending not to hear what the friend in his shadow said, stood up from his throne and turned away. “Follow me. I have a lot to show you.”

After sorting out his thoughts, Chang-Sun stood behind .

Paahhhh―!

At that moment, the world around them quickly spun and distorted. Below them was an endlessly vast universe, in which countless Milky Ways sparkled and contained infinite Worldlines.

Even after becoming an Emperor, it was difficult to observe the unfathomably big universe in detail; watching numerous Worldlines being split and eliminated at once made even Chang-Sun lightheaded. That was how Chang-Sun was finally able to understand why Beasts and Star Signs could run wild despite the great power had. With the Great Universe, which was also called Eros, below them, had a serious expression.

Click, click, click―!

Numerous gears quietly rotated inside his golden machine eyes. Chang-Sun wondered what was looking at right now.

“I assume that you have many questions.”

“That’s right,” Chang-Sun answered.

“Yes, you’ve witnessed a lot before reaching this place. You must want to know what the Demiurge Project is and who the are. Why were Beasts, Star Signs, and... the running wild... You somehow took down and , but you aren’t sure if it’s all over... There will be so many other questions to come.”

Chang-Sun nodded with a heavy heart. He had absorbed Asclepius’ memories on some level when he became an Emperor, so he knew that a lot of secrets still remained in Eros and Nyx.

Ascle had been enjoying his freedom as he freely traveled from Worldline to Worldline, but he had suddenly decided to build , the first of Star Signs. And yet had not been enough for him, so he had gone after R’lyeh, the body of . It had led him to be incarcerated in the Tower, but it was all because he had witnessed something so colossal that he had felt he would still be helpless even with Eros and Nyx under his dominance.

‘It’s comparable to ...? No, is it stronger? What in the world is it?’ Chang-Sun wondered in bewilderment.

There was no proper word to describe what Chang-Sun was seeing right now, but it was clear that both and would not be able to care about Eros and Nyx at all once they confronted it.

“...That’s why you need gardeners for the Universal Tree,” Chang-Sun murmured.

nodded. “I need you to become one of them. Can you help me?”

After noticing the various emotions swirling in the eyes of , Chang-Sun chuckled again. ‘He might kill me if I say no right now.’

Of course, Chang-Sun had not been planning on running away from his duties as an Emperor in the first place, but he also had to resolve the sources of the many Lee Chang-Suns’ lingering feelings.

“You’re the most free person among the Demiurges I’ve appointed. You can freely travel Eros, Nyx, and Minor Universes, so please become my sword.”

“I’ll help if it’s necessary,” Chang-Sun answered calmly.

A faint smile finally spread across the face of . After belatedly realizing his mistake(?), cleared his throat and clasped his hands behind his back, saying, “Follow me. I’ll introduce you to your future colleagues.”

As slowly walked forward, Chang-Sun followed him.

On the Earth of Worldline #801...

Ye-Eun looked outside the window, bottle-feeding Peter in her arms. Since she could have ended up waiting for Chang-Sun in forever, she had come back home first... but it was killing her to be forced to become a mother overnight.

“When in the hell is he coming back? Is he expecting me to raise the baby on my own or not? I’m going to kill him when he comes back...!” Ye-Eun grumbled, but her voice was filled with concern for Chang-Sun.

She had been born and raised in a family of Celestials, so she knew very well what kind of position an Emperor had. Others envied them for their oneness and freedom, but... she could not disagree more.

An Emperor was always buried in work, and things were quite unsettled nowadays from what she had heard... On top of that, she had no idea what kind of work Chang-Sun would be placed in charge of among the Emperors, so she was worried.

Nevertheless, Ye-Eun believed that Chang-Sun was going to do a good job, no matter how hard the work was. Chang-Sun had risen above the and was now , not . Whatever despair-inducing trials and tribulations he faced, he was someone who could surmount them and make his own future.

Paaah―!

Just then, a ray of bright scarlet light shone down outside Ye-Eun’s home. When she quickly turned to look at the door, she saw Chang-Sun walking in through the door. It looked as if Chang-Sun had come running as fast as he could because his face was covered in sweat.

“Huff... huff... I’m sorry for keeping you waiting so long.” Chang-Sun panted hard.

Ye-Eun pouted. “So you know what you did? ”

“Haha... I’m sorry. I was chatting with the people your brother introduced to me, and time went by.”

“How were they?”

Chang-Sun smiled. “Yes, they were good people.”

“Good.” Ye-Eun smiled back and then pointed at Peter, who had fallen asleep. Ye-Eun said, “Try not to make noise when you come in. He might wake up.”

Chang-Sun tiptoed into the living room. Seeing Ye-Eun and Peter at peace made Chang-Sun’s heart pound with happiness.

“Come to think of it, we really need a name for our baby. We can’t call him Peter forever. Is there any name you’ve thought of?” Ye-Eun asked.

Peter’s true name, Lee ■■, echoed in Chang-Sun’s mind.

“Yes, it’s...!” Chang-Sun answered.

It was a very fitting name for the adorable child who was also the fruition of their love.
