Free Web NovelChapter 348: Chapter 346: Son’s Arrival
Aaron Sinclair’s face was etched with heartache.
He reached out and hugged his mother again, gently patting her back. "Mom, you don’t have to say anything. I get it. If you want to cry, just cry. I know you’re hurting. It’s okay that Dad doesn’t remember you. You still have me."
Celeste Grant: "..."
Seeing how her son had let his imagination run wild, she gave a dry laugh and said, "Son, is it possible you’re overthinking this? Things aren’t as bad as you imagine."
Aaron Sinclair grabbed his mother’s arm and took a step back to look at her. "Really? Mom, what’s going on with Dad? How could he just forget you out of the blue? What about me? Does he still remember me?"
"What do you think? Hah!" Celeste Grant glanced up at him and threw up her hands. "Your own father doesn’t even remember me. How could he possibly remember you?"
Hearing his mother say that, but also recalling that she’d said things weren’t so bad, Aaron Sinclair thought about his father’s feelings for his mother. Based on his understanding of his dad, he felt like he finally understood.
He glanced at his mother and said, "So even though he doesn’t remember us, my own father has fallen for you all over again. He’s instinctively drawn to you."
’All I can say is, you’ve hit the nail on the head, son.’ Her son had, after all, grown up around Javier Sinclair and knew his father extremely well.
Recalling how Javier Sinclair had held her without letting go, Celeste Grant blushed and nodded slightly. "Yeah, something like that."
Okay! Aaron Sinclair was relieved! freēwēbnovel.com
’That’s my dad, all right. Even with amnesia, he manages to be one of a kind.’ As long as his mother wasn’t heartbroken, it was fine. Thinking this, he patted his chest and said, "Well, that’s a relief. If he can’t remember, he can’t remember. Maybe he’ll remember someday. And even if he never does, it won’t affect your relationship."
Celeste Grant smiled faintly. "Yes, but my heart still aches for him. His body wouldn’t have collapsed if he hadn’t been trying to save me. If he weren’t the Demon God, he would have lost his life."
Aaron Sinclair comforted her. "Mom, don’t think like that. Dad is fine now, and our family of three can still be together. That’s the best possible outcome."
Celeste Grant nodded slightly. "Yes, you’re right. Okay, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s go inside."
"Okay." He took Celeste Grant’s arm, and the two of them walked toward the house.
"Mom, when is Dad coming?"
"It should be soon."
"Mom, I just took a look around. This place called Earth is quite beautiful. The construction of these buildings is amazing. There isn’t the slightest fluctuation from an Array, yet they can be built so high."
"They can be built that high because of reinforced concrete."
He looked up at the sky and said, "Up in the sky here, there seems to be an invisible, barrier-like layer with strong resistance. But it doesn’t seem to be a Barrier. No wonder the people living on this Earth are all ordinary people who don’t practice Cultivation, yet they’ve been able to develop so peacefully."
Celeste Grant smiled and said, "What you’re talking about is probably the atmosphere."
"By the way, Mom, I’ve brought the Spirit Veins you mentioned. I collected two of them. I checked, and the landmass of this Earth you’re on isn’t that large. Two Spirit Veins should be enough for the Spiritual Energy Revival to cover the entire planet."
As they spoke, Celeste Grant led her son into the house.
The authorities received news of Aaron Sinclair’s arrival almost immediately. After all, he hadn’t hidden his presence when he came, so all the personnel stationed near Celeste Grant’s house had seen him.
Shocked, they reported it at once.
The officials didn’t rush over, instead giving Celeste Grant and her son time for their reunion. It wasn’t until evening that they called her to verify the situation. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Celeste Grant didn’t say much, simply stating that the Spirit Veins had arrived. She told them to choose two locations within Veridia’s territory, one in the north and one in the south, to place the Spirit Veins.
After coordinating with the government, Celeste Grant took her son to the chosen locations the next afternoon.
Both locations for the Spirit Veins were on military bases. Because it had been arranged in advance, countless people were watching at both sites.
These were all government personnel, their faces filled with ecstatic excitement.
With Spirit Veins, there would be an endless supply of Spiritual Energy. Once the Spiritual Energy Revival began, the world would fully enter an age of Cultivation. This was Cultivation, something they never imagined would be realized in their generation. Everyone would be able to cultivate—the mere thought was thrilling.
Back in the day, Emperors had tried so hard to achieve immortality, but none had ever succeeded. And now, Cultivation was a reality.
At that moment, Celeste Grant and her son stood in the sky above a military base. Looking down at the endless mountain range below, she nodded slightly.
"Son, this is the place. The Spirit Vein can be placed down there. Try not to make too big of a commotion."
Aaron Sinclair nodded slightly. "Got it, Mom."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand. At that moment, Celeste Grant saw a Spiritual Energy Shield materialize in her son’s hand. Inside was a miniature mountain range, and within the shield, a dragon-shaped phantom roamed.
"So that’s a Spirit Vein?"
Although she knew about Spirit Veins, she had never personally collected one. This was the first time Celeste Grant had seen what a captured Spirit Vein looked like.
"Generally, Spirit Veins are found on top of Dragon Veins, and they’ve even developed sentience. So, to collect one, you have to take the Dragon Vein along with it," he explained before giving a light wave of his hand.
A flash of light passed. The Spirit Vein in his hand slowly flew toward the mountains below. At the same time, it rapidly expanded, covering the range beneath it. As it connected with the existing mountains, a new, Spiritual-Energy-rich mountain range simply appeared out of thin air. This new range connected with the original mountains and rivers, complementing them perfectly, as if it had been there all along.
The ground trembled lightly but returned to calm after a moment.
This scene made all those who were watching suck in a sharp breath.
Even the important figures in front of the monitors in the control room were stunned.
"Truly the work of Immortal Arts."
"So the legends about moving mountains and filling seas are actually true."
"Excellent... Excellent... From now on, our nation of Veridia will become the center of the world."
"The times are truly changing!"
At the same time, a sense of pride swelled within them. A Cultivation master of this caliber was a citizen of their own country.
There were two such Spirit Veins.
Celeste Grant took her son to two different locations, placing both Spirit Veins collected from the Cultivation World within Veridia’s territory. After that, the two of them departed.
On that same day, everyone living within the borders of Veridia felt the ground tremble slightly. But the tremor was very faint.
After this, the incident was being discussed on various forums and social media platforms.
"Did you feel that? It felt like there was an earthquake yesterday afternoon. Did an earthquake happen somewhere?"
