The Inheritance Of The Supreme Immortals
Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Growing Family

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 Amelia experiencing such a mental strain that she contemplated burning everything around her to replace solace.

"Darling, tell me something. 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 me explain, darling. To understand, we have to start with how we Qilins came 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."

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 elemental beings of lightning."

"But if the progenitor wished, they could create Qilins of other elements. The same holds true for the progenitors of other races," Yuna clarified.

"And these progenitors, capable of creating entire civilizations, didn't just emerge from nothing. Like everyone, they had to be birthed by someone. 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.

Amelia, as if recalling something, suddenly spoke up, "It's the same 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 confirmed. "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 seemed 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. Some geniuses were even believed to be the reincarnations of emperors and immortals from the past. Some might remember their past lives, while others don't. Therefore, when Yuna posed this thought, they didn't consider it impossible.

"We missed something very crucial," Amelia 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 same father."

"Are you saying that all the mothers of the progenitors shared the same man? The progenitors are all siblings? Does that mean all beings in the world have the same 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 same father," Ophelia said with a thoughtful expression.

"If we go with our story and assume 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 women."

"Women 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 became extremely nervous, seeing their peculiar expressions. 'They wouldn't leave me 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," Amelia 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 Amelia aside and hugging him.

"M-Me 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.

Amelia suddenly had a strange but sensible thought, which frankly irritated her. "Darling, if we are right about our theory, won't there be more women like us who could be the reincarnations of the mothers of their respective races' progenitors?"

"Now that you mention it, there should be others like us since every progenitor shared the same father but different mothers," Yuna mused, holding her chin in thought.

"Basically, what you're saying is that other women like us, who are direct descendants of progenitors and also mothers of the progenitors, are just waiting for Sam to replace them," Lenora said, slightly irritated like Amelia.

"Yes, there are other races that had their own progenitors. Some of them, whom I have met 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 excitement.

"Are you excited because you will have more women for yourself, darling?" Amelia playfully pinched Sam's chest. "It doesn't matter how many women will come; 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," Amelia snorted with a grin.
