Cosmic Ruler - Chapter 278

Chapter 278: Reunion and leaving

Aiden and Ramona, lost in the depth of their passion, let days blur into weeks. For nearly a whole month, they were entangled in each other’s embrace, unable to stop. They moved together in a frenzy of desire, their shared moments a release of long-suppressed emotions and memories, a binding of two souls who had been apart for far too long.

Finally, after weeks, they lay still, their energy spent.

“Are you calm now?” Ramona asked softly, lying on Aiden’s chest, her fingers gently tracing the muscles beneath his skin. Her voice was tender, her face radiating pure happiness. She had waited for this moment, yearning for it across lives, and now that it had happened, her heart was at peace.

“Maybe,” Aiden replied with a slight smile, his hand lazily running through her hair. His mind was quiet now, though the storm of emotions lingered, calm for the first time in ages. The closeness they shared was comforting, yet the weight of something unfinished lay between them.

“Tell me about my memories,” Aiden said after a moment of silence, his voice laced with curiosity and anticipation. He had been piecing together fragments of his past for so long, but now, he wanted to know the full story. Ramona nodded and sat up slightly. Gently, she placed her hand on the center of his forehead, right above his temples.

As soon as she touched him, Aiden’s mind was engulfed by a flood of images, memories, and sensations—an overwhelming torrent that spanned across different lives and times. He felt the rush of experiences, battles fought, friendships made, and lost loves that he had long forgotten.

After half an hour of quiet contemplation, his eyes fluttered open, and he stared at the ceiling, breathing deeply.

“I see now…” he muttered under his breath, piecing together everything.

“So, Leonis was my name in that world,” Aiden said with a sense of realization. The name stirred something familiar within him, a distant echo of his former self.

Ramona, still beside him, nodded with a soft smile. “Yes, Leonis Salvator. That was your name. You were the son of a prominent clan, a fierce and talented cultivator. I was by your side as your aide, your shadow in all things. But fate… it tore us apart, and I made mistakes, leaving you behind for my own ambitions. I regretted it every single day since.”

Aiden smirked and flicked her lightly on the forehead. “What a bad maid you were, abandoning me like that. Should I punish you for it?” His tone was playful, but the sadness beneath his jest was evident. They both had endured so much, their paths diverging so painfully in that past life.

Ramona, her cheeks flushing, leaned closer, her lips brushing against his neck. “I’m sorry, master,” she whispered teasingly. “Perhaps this bad maid deserves her punishment.” Her hand slid down his chest, her body pressing against his in a way that left little room for thought. “Or… maybe I can make it up to you?”

Aiden’s grin widened, his heart lighter for a moment. “Yes, you definitely should make up for it.” And with that, they found themselves once again lost in each other’s embrace, their passions reigniting.

10,000 years later…

It had been 10,000 years since Aiden first recovered the memories of his past lives, the recollection of Leonis Salvator and all that came before. After his reunion with Ramona, he spent decades helping her rise to power within the cultivation realm. Together, they soared to new heights, breaking through realms and surpassing limits that once seemed impossible.

Eventually, Aiden and Ramona reached the pinnacle: the Divine Realm. But Aiden didn’t stop there. He cultivated even further, pushing himself for another hundred years until he had achieved a level of power that few could ever dream of. During that time, his focus was unwavering—driven by the need to find Shelly and Serina, his other two beloveds, whom he had left behind on his earlier journey.

After what felt like an eternity, Aiden finally located both Shelly and Serina, deep in the vastness of the realms. The moment he saw them, he knew that everything he had gone through, all the struggles and hardships, were worth it. He shared everything with them—the truth of his past, his identity as Leonis, and he apologized for not finding and reuniting them much earlier. Shelly and Serina listened, and without hesitation, they accepted him once again. They had loved him then, and they loved him still.

The three of them—Aiden, Shelly, and Serina—were married in a grand ceremony that spanned realms. Together, they built a legacy, creating the DreamStar Family in the Divine Realm. Ramona, of course, was there by Aiden’s side, an integral part of his life and heart. Together, with his three wives, Aiden began a new chapter—one filled with love, laughter, and the endless joy of being surrounded by family.

Years passed, and the DreamStar Family flourished. Aiden’s descendants spread throughout the realms, his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren becoming prominent figures of power and grace. They were known far and wide for their strength, but more importantly, they were known for their unity, a family built on love and loyalty.

For Aiden, after so many lifetimes of battles, struggles, and fleeting moments of happiness, he finally had peace. The family he had always wanted, the life he had longed for, was his. Though the realms still held their dangers, his heart was full.

And so, Aiden, with his wives by his side and his family ever growing, found the fulfillment he had been seeking for so long—a family that would last through eternity.

But for Aiden, it was only a fleeting rest. Once again, he used the functions of his system and returned to Celestaria, the world where his journey had first begun. There, he reunited with his loved ones who had been waiting for him and, as he had done in the Divine Realm, he started a family with them as well.

However, there was a slight mishap that interrupted his peaceful return. Aiden discovered that his father, mother, and his little sister had been trapped in a different, distant realm for decades, forced to endure unimaginable hardships. Without hesitation, he embarked on a mission to rescue them, navigating treacherous lands and facing powerful foes.

Once reunited, he ensured their safety, establishing a family in that realm too. Of course, Aiden couldn’t rest until he had dealt with all the villains who had caused harm to his loved ones. He hunted them down, one by one, sparing none. His vengeance was swift and absolute, making sure that the family he left behind in Celestaria would never again face danger.

He spent another 3,000 years there, growing stronger once more in this familiar world. Each threat that arose was swiftly dealt with, and the bonds with his family deepened. Aiden’s power reached untold heights as he ensured not only his family’s protection but also the prosperity of their lineage.

In the end, Aiden left Celestaria with the same assurance he had when he left the Divine Realm: the peace and security of his family, untouched by the threats of any realm. But even though he left, his presence was felt in the worlds he saved, his legend growing with every passing day.

After taking care of both of his lives in the Divine Realm and Celestaria, ensuring that there were no lingering regrets, Aiden stood beside Ramona once again, ready for the next phase of their journey.

“Now, should we get going?” Ramona asked, her eyes filled with determination and warmth.

“Yes,” Aiden replied with a calm nod, “Let’s go. I have many things to repay where it all started.” His voice carried both nostalgia and the weight of unfinished business.

Ramona smiled as they prepared for the next step, and Aiden activated his Realm Gateway—a function of his system that allowed him to travel to any world he had visited before. This time, their destination was different. They were returning to the Celestial World, the very world where Aiden had originally begun his journey.

Unlike the cultivation worlds or the magical world of Celestaria, the Celestial World was said to be a true game world, far more intricate than what he had experienced before. Everything he had faced up to this point had merely been in the beginner village of that vast world.

As the gateway opened, the memories of his life in that world flooded back, but this time, Aiden wasn’t just a beginner. With Ramona by his side and his immense power, he was ready to conquer it in ways he could have never imagined during his first time there. This world was where his true story had started—and now, it was time for him to face it again, but on his own terms.

“I am coming back for my vengeance” Aiden mumbled as he with Ramona he stepped in Realm gateway.
