Lirian knew why it would be a bad idea to let Ella reincarnate, with the compulsion he placed on her she would, simply hate everything, there would be no joy in her life.

She'd feel no happiness from anything, she be unable to experience any emotion other than hate, even acting on her hateful thoughts would bring her no release or pleasure.

He look at the little wisp of his daughter, with a pained expression, he knew of the only way to break the compulsion, but even for Katerina it was practically impossible.

He understood what she was doing to break the curse based on how small the wisp was.

Katerina was keeping the core of Ella's soul and chipping pieces of it and placing it in vessels with extreme potential.

The first step was to get the being who had Ella's soul fragment attached to them to become a god of the same grade as the god of emotion, who was a first-grade god.

Even for gods it was impossible to divine who would become a god, but as a fate spinner Katerina was the only being in creation with the slightest chance of doing it, yet it was unbelievably difficult.

The biggest problem was that every time a person with a piece of Ella's soul died, the fragment would be lost as well.

If that wasn't difficult enough, then there was another obstacle, the curse made it so that Ella could only love him and Katerina, so the next requirement was for the god who held Ella's soul to fall in love.

For gods to experience real love, was inconceivable, gods are so old that they don't care about emotions, unless a gods power stems from a certain emotion it is unlikely that they will experience any other emotion.

Then came the hardest part of it all, the part that Katerina would be unable to do by herself the god with Ella's soul fragment would have to be killed so that Ella could take over their body and experience her own life.

It was because of that, that it was an unbreakable compulsion.

Lucian looked at the little wisp of his daughter that clung to his chest tightly, and caressed her soul gently, with fear that the slightest of pressure could break her forever.

Her voice might have been that of a child's, but she had always been a smart child, she knew her own situation better than anyone else.

At this moment Lucian couldn't help but wonder if this love she held towards him was real or it was simply the compulsion.

He shoved those thoughts away in fear and held on to the wisp not wanting to let it go.

"You know that I'd do anything for you," he said softly, and locked eyes with Katerina, she looked reluctant but nodded her head.

"Sniff", the wisp snivelled.

"Good, t-t-then promise me that you won't fight ever again," she sobbed while snuggling up to her father.

Lucian and Katerina both looked at each-other hesitantly.

"Promise me!" Ella squealed her soul glowed red with anger.

Lucian and Katerina shared a look but they were defeated by their daughters growing anger, and they quickly agreed and the little wisp began to glow brightly.

"Family hug?" the little wisp glowed expectantly with a look of longing to it.

"Don't push your luck little wisp," Lucian grumbled giving the wisp a soft pinch.

The wisp drooped with a saddened light, not hiding it's sadness, 'I'll just have to work on the two of them,' the little wisp decide.

Now that all the trouble was resolved, the little wisp looked up at her mother's throne indignantly.

"Get of mothers throne," she shouted, "No one is allowed to sit there besides mother," she shouted at the blue mists, but both Katherina and Lucian lunged forward to stop her and pull her back.

Neither of them truly knew what realm exactly that being had reached, but they both knew that, that entity had the power to erase even gods with ease, from their understanding of the entity, it would at least be a third-grade god and possibly a god that had reached the maximum point of cultivation.

For that entity there was no more room for growth, and it held a great understanding of the multiple plains, and they both suspected that it was the god that broke through the plains past iterations limits to enter into the third-grade.

When they looked at it that way it meant that the god before them was older than the current iteration of the plain, which was over 300 trillion years old.

When the two of them looked at it that way, it made this god their elder, which was a strange feeling to both the old monsters, however the main reason they showed respect to the entity was because; if their suspicions were correct about him being the first to enter into the third-grade, it meant that he did something neither of them had ever achieved.

As cultivators, they had to respect that achievement, after all both of them knew the difficulties of pioneering a new realm of power, and with every new realm the difficulty was at least a thousand times higher than the previous one.

The entity in the mist however didn't seem to care about Ella's words in the slightest, "That was amusing to watch in person," it said thoughtfully.

"You should teach your child discipline," the entity commented, "But for now I want both of you to focus on the sixth universe,"

Lucian once was a master of fate so as he focused his sense through the divining instruments in Katerina's drifting castle, he detected what the entity wanted them to focus on.

It went without saying that Katerina as a fate spinner discovered it with ease as well.

"A Fate Conflux," they said at the same time.

"I'll open it up for the two of you to watch, and watch carefully, you can watch but it will be impossible to interfere until the conflux concludes," the entity said.

Lucian chuckled at the entity's words in an amused tone, "That's a conflux old god, I don't know if you understand this with them being so rare, but you can't observe them from the outside."

"You know it's because you always think that you know everything, that it's so much fun to watch when you're proven wrong," Katerina said with a smug smile on her face.

Lucian frowned at her when suddenly the conflux opened and they could see the events occurring within, Lucian got an even bigger shock when he saw himself, his main self in the conflux and wearing a blind fold.

'Wow, why does that version of me look like a girl, and what's up with the blind fold, is he doing sensory deprivation… ' Lucian suddenly sighed as he saw the walking cane in Samsara's hand, 'It looks like his gone through some stuff,' he thought turning to face the entity

"Seriously who the hack are you?" he asked the entity, to be able to open up a conflux like this was unbelievable.

The entity chuckled, "Perhaps you'll find out, but if you'd like I can tell you how it's possible that we are observing the conflux," the entity offered.

"Tsk," Lucian clicked his tongue, "You don't need to spell it out for me I can already guess how you did it, my main body is down there, so technically since I am there you created a link through me and opened up a channel."

"See it's all because of me that grandpa mysterious over there can open up a conflux for our viewing," Lucian bragged to Katerina.

Katerina however didn't care much for it but looked at him seriously, "How did you break you curse?" she asked after observing the main body of Lucian, she had observed him a few times over the years, but that universe seemed to gulp down her fate particles when she peered into it.

"Like I'm going to tell you that, you'll probably just try to find a way to put it back on me if I told you."

Katerina folded her arms beneath her breast and turned away from him in annoyance and continued to focus on the conflux.

"There is something strange about three people down there, besides Lucian's main body," she noted after a few days of watching, "If I'm not wrong there is a boy and girl in that group that are chosen, but there is something strange about that girl that Lucian's main body keeps fooling around with," she said turning to face the entity.

"What's the matter are you jealous," Lucian laughed at her in a cold tone, but Katerina didn't respond and turned to the entity.

"You have a good eye, but in all honesty I just want you to keep an eye on the chosen girl," the entity replied to Katerina.

After listening to Katerina despite poking at her Lucian knew that she wouldn't mention something without reason and he began to pay careful attention to the girl that his main body was making out with from time to time, 'Even while blind, my main self knows how to choose his girl,' he thought when he figured out what it was Katerina saw.

He turned back to the entity, "What is the meaning of this, that girl she has temporal time laws surrounding her, what the hell is going on, even if my main body were to reach the seventh grade, it would be impossible to use temporal time laws, those laws effect causality."

Lucian couldn't wrap his head around what was going on, it was a feeling he hated very much and was the first time he experienced such a feeling in a long time.

The entity sighed, "Causality is in flux right now as you've already noticed three years ago, that is all I will tell you on the subject, the rest is a secret that is both as old and older than this iteration of the universe if you want to know the truth then become a god again."

Lirian grunted in annoyance at the entities attitude, but went back to the watching the events play out, he saw the beast horde attack, and it was then that he discovered that his real self wasn't cultivating yet, it was shocking to say the least, 'Just what is he up to?'

Then he watched the chosen boy take down the drake with is main self, 'Wait a second, isn't that part of the script,' he thought thinking of the page of the script that survived.

Then he saw himself getting busy with that beautiful girl, when he suddenly heard a shout from behind him, "Papa you're only supposed to do that with mama!" the little wisp shrieked.

"Get away from my papa!!!" Ella shrieked loudly as she looked at the image.

He quickly caught the wisp and blocked her view, "Sorry your mama and I don't want that kind of a relationship kiddo," he said to the little wisp, it began to pout at his answer but he didn't budge on his stance, he hated Katerina, he was only tolerating her for Ella's sake.

Katerina ignored the whole thing her brows were tightly furrowed as she stared at the chosen girl, the more she looked the more concerned she felt, she had never seen a chosen with a boon that was even worthy of compare, and Lucian's main body, had a times 10 boon, and it was only her first time seeing such a powerful boon, yet that girl blew his boon out of the park.

But the more she looked at the girl the more certain she was that there was nothing special about her at all yet she had such a powerful boon.

"How is that even possible?" she asked not expecting a reply but for once the Great One seemed happy to answer.

"How else is she to survive your ex-lovers wrath, frankly I think the plain is being a little stingy with its boon," the Great One chuckled as it spoke.

'Well when he puts it like that it does make sense, not even I could survive his wrath, but why does the plain deem her survival necessary?'

She glanced at Lucian and could see a stupid grin forming on his face, 'Great now he's getting a big head, as if it had room to grow any bigger.'
