Chapter 1784 The Real Controller
Chapter 1784: The Real Controller Chapter 1784: The Real Controller Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Heather Sage did most of the talking while Braydon Neal quietly listened. As a father, he knew he had failed in his duties—he hadn’t been there for his children’s upbringing.
“That child from the Foreman family has grown up,” Heather remarked suddenly.
“Every year, I ask Trevon to visit her.” Braydon’s third child. The last time he saw her, she was just a little girl. She must have grown up by now.
She was Eva Foreman and Braydon’s daughter.
“You brought Trevon and Judith out this time.
Are you not planning to go back?” Braydon asked.
“Trevon has always wanted to follow in your footsteps and explore the starry skies.
He was never truly happy staying by my side.
Judith, on the other hand, is still carefree, nothing like you.” Heather’s eyes reflected her helplessness. Trevon had inherited his father’s legacy, including his ambition. In the years since Braydon left his homeland, the young Trevon Neal had taken charge of nine departments and twenty-four divisions in the country. As a youth, he commanded the palace alone. Under his sword, all the major entities in the country bowed.
The sects, aristocratic families, and even powerful families had refused to submit to Braydon because he had spent years battling them, leaving blood on his hands. But Trevon didn’t share that history. With his youthful presence, he subdued the capital, and the aristocratic families and sects all submitted to him. He protected the hundred countries from external threats and maintained order for decades. In that distant homeland, Trevon was already a legend. To some old friends, he was on par with his father.
Judith, however, didn’t inherit any of her father’s traits. She wasn’t like her mother or her father. Instead, she was like a young girl who would never grow up.
Braydon spent over ten days with his wife before sending her off from Zone 1. After all, this place wasn’t suitable for her.
Heather left Zone 1.
Chadwick Neal and the others bowed outside.
“Ruins Lord!” “Trevon, Judith, your father has allowed you to come out and look around!” Heather addressed her children, paying no attention to Chadwick and the others.
Before Trevon could speak, Judith exclaimed with delight, “Dad finally agreed to let me and Trevon come out to play!” “Remember, neither of you can participate in the human race’s Prodigy Tournament—especially you, Trevon!” Heather’s gaze was serious.
“Okay!” The siblings nodded obediently.
With that, Heather disappeared in a flash, returning to the seven-colored vortex above her head. The vortex vanished as she naturally returned home.
Far away on Earth, the Neal family manor was the home of their family of four.
“Trevon,” Judith said excitedly, “Mother is gone.
Let’s go play with Dad.” “You two must not,” Chadwick quickly intervened.
“The Ruins Lord has commanded that neither of you is allowed to enter any competition zone, let alone participate in the Prodigy Tournament.
If anyone lets you in without permission, the consequences will be death!” Nobody dared to ignore the words of the Ruins Lord. Almost no one present was foolish enough to neglect the worry in Heather’s heart—she was afraid Trevon would enter Zone 1 and encounter his father, Braydon. A father-son battle would be inevitable.
In this life, who could suppress Braydon?
Not long ago, Heather had harshly remarked that although the tiger was fierce, it was no match for Braydon!
These words were deeply cutting, yet Braydon had never blamed Heather. Ever since Braydon embarked on the path of martial arts, he had neglected his family. Heather had practically raised both their son and daughter alone. In this life, Braydon owed his family—he owed Heather and their two children even more.
Thus, in Zone 1…
“Brother, do you think Trevon will sneak in?” Luke murmured.
“He won’t!” Braydon shook his head and explained, “Trevon grew up by his mother’s side.
If Heather truly wants something done, Trevon wouldn’t dare disobey her!” “But Trevon has gone against your wishes many times,” Luke replied with a helpless shrug. Trevon listened to his mother, but there were plenty of times when he didn’t listen to his father, Braydon.
Braydon understood why. He placed his hands behind his back and stepped onto the snow, finally leaving the small courtyard where he had stayed for a year. He smiled faintly.
“Trevon and Judith have Atreus Burnett and the others watching over them outside.
You don’t have to worry too much!” Once the matters in Zone 1 were settled, Braydon would naturally go to see Trevon and Judith. But right now, Braydon had other things to attend to—his path of body refinement couldn’t end here!
It was less than six years before the Hundred Stellar Realm Competition would end. He had spent three years refining a Fourth Revolution Body Refinement Pill, and then guarded his wife for a year. Too much time had been lost!
As Braydon carried Luke and walked on the snow, he suddenly disappeared, returning with him to the small world.
In Braydon’s small world, the River of Time stretched like a sky curtain, hanging horizontally across the dome. Waves occasionally rippled through this long river of time. Meanwhile, eight mysterious figures remained in the small world—they hadn’t left.
The eight guardians of the River of Time.
“Long time no see, all eight of you!” Braydon smiled faintly.
“Master ordered the eight of us to guard this place,” they replied, expressionless. It was clear they didn’t want to stay here—they bore a deep grudge against Braydon.
Braydon chuckled.
“Heather asked you to remain here.
I’ll have to trouble the eight of you to help guard the river during this time.
Also, if necessary, please help protect my tribulation bodies from death!” “Master has already entrusted these matters to us.
You don’t need to say anything more!” The eight guardians didn’t want to engage in conversation with Braydon. Every time they saw him, they were reminded of the harm he had done to them in their previous life.
In that life, that bastard Soule had chased them down with the Soul Slaying Sword in hand.
The most terrifying part was that he almost caused a catastrophic rupture in the River of Time. That lunatic burned his peak cultivation just to return to his youth. While others would do anything to reach the peak, laughing at the myriad races and sitting high above, watching the rise and fall of all living beings, this lunatic burned all his cultivation at the peak realm to return to the past and slaughter half the River of Time.
At that time, the eight of them were nearly killed by him. If it hadn’t been for the Ruins Lord’s intervention, they would have died. Even so, the Ruins Lord couldn’t fully stop this madman.
Now, he had returned from another life. In an instant, the eight of them hid within the River of Time. Braydon carried the little fool and stepped into the river of time. “The flow of time here is vastly different from the outside world.
Ten thousand years inside might only be an instant outside.
If you want to catch up to your peers, this is your chance!” “Oh!” Luke, known for his dislike of cultivation, responded with little enthusiasm.
