Blake was worried that whoever had been here would come back. After all, this person definitely knew that
Emperor Greenbow had left everything here for Lilly.
They also knew that it was not only Emperor Greenbow who had left things behind for Lilly.
These things would only appear in front of Lilly, and the person had somehow gotten this far.
They were going to have to move quickly.
“Let’s go, Lilly!” Blake spoke in a low voice.
Outside the temple, Lilly waved her hands furiously as she took the temple away brick by brick before they left.
Only the base of the scepter was left. Blake peeked inside and saw everything there the way it was: rows of pills,
herbs, and other treasures.
Everything was here.
Blake’s chest tightened even more, feeling like danger was close.
He took everything away in one move, with Lilly picking up everything that was left behind.
Blake and Lilly left the cave completely bare, without even a single brick…
Lilly’s voice could still be heard. “Daddy, why does everyone like hiding their things in caves?”
Blake said, “It might not just be caves, you know…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot long after they had left, the mystery person was back.
He stared at the empty cave in front of him, almost exploding with anger…
Blake and Lilly had no idea about any of this. Both parties narrowly missed each other and would have been spotted
had they been a minute early or late.
Over at the Crawford house.
Lilly took the stone scrolls out. She had not been able to take a close enough look in her haste to leave just now.
The further she read, the more surprised she was.
Blake was lazing on the couch, a hand draped over the cushions as he raised his eyebrows. “What? I didn’t expect
that you were so powerful.”
Lilly shook her head. “Oh, of course not. I always knew I was the most powerful here.”
Blake smirked. That was right! She should be this confident and charismatic as the daughter of Emperor Prosper!
Lilly said with a sigh, “But everyone worked so hard, and I still failed them.”
These kind uncles had even left presents for her… Lilly was overwhelmed with gratitude and guilt at the same time.
How could she deserve such kindness from them?
Blake smiled. “Everyone was just doing it for themselves.”
“The oldest emperor appeared alongside the underworld, and the couple of us old geezers protected and kept the
underworld in place with the Order. We built this in ancient times, making us follow ancient rules.
“The Order was never ours to control. It was always perfectly fine; we were just too backward to realize that. Of
course we would be outrun by time and innovation eventually.”
They could either watch themselves ‘age’ until they died.
Or they could hope for the new generation to carry them on a new path.
It was true that the old geezers liked Lilly, but there was no way they could have loved her enough to do something
so selfless; none of them were Lilly’s actual parents, after all.
It was perfectly fair to say that they had also been thinking about themselves aside from their love for Lilly. True
incentive was best when it was for personal gain.
Maybe the only people who truly loved Lilly were Blake himself, Jean, or Bettany—the kind of love that could only
come from family.
“It’s all on you now, Lilly.” Blake leaned forward, tucking a strand of stray hair behind Lilly’s ear. “Do you feel
pressured?”
Lilly shook her head at first but then nodded.
Blake’s tone was gentle and warm. “That’s alright… You’ve died once anyway. The worst thing that could happen is
just dying again.”

There was no way everyone would be powerful upon reincarnation. That was far too much of a coincidence.
Everything was fateful.
The first time they tried to break the manifestation, they failed because of a traitor.
The second time that happened, everyone who was helping Lilly had their respective hopes and plans.
They had done everything they could to give all their best treasures to Lilly.
She was everyone’s hope.
Everyone had given everything they had to her, both for her and for themselves.
Reincarnation was a thing, but it was not linear.
He had put his own luck on Lilly when he sent her through to reincarnate, so that she would be able to grow up
safely.
The other old geezers must have done the same…
At the thought, a childish sob sounded through the air. “Waah… waah….”
There was some baby talk that came after it.
Blake closed his eyes, huffing in exasperation.
