Endless Horde: Through the Eyes of a Godking

--

Cedric was spacewalking as of the moment.

He really had nothing much to do. He's a bit bored, so he decided to stroll on Solaris Prime, the solar system where earth was (it's the unofficial name, for now at least).

The Sun Sage visited the places of interest he had seen before: asteroids that are rich in resources, stars with harsh and inhabitable environments, unstable pocket dimensions, and other places as well.

Solaris Prime was decently sized, especially for the future territory of humans. Cedric made sure to place borders and secure them in place to prevent other people from discovering where Prime Earth was.

Of course, to those who stood at the peak of the Divine Council, his little security measures were useless. They could wave a hand, and everything he worked so hard for would be erased, just like that.

That said, a person of that caliber must be incredibly bored, or at least have a personal grudge against humans for doing something like that. Because usually powerful people like them had bigger fish to fry, some disdains acting against people of lower status than them.

So really, the only ones that Cedric should be worried about were races that were just slightly more advanced and stronger than humans. But now that he reached the Grand Solar Grandmaster stage in his life evolution, he had the strength to fend them off and give his people more time to develop.

The new frontiers were coming along nicely. His people were working hard to colonize the planets they had access to. This operation is still a secret from the masses to prevent causing some hysteria, but to the slightly more influential and powerful people, this matter was an opportunity they can't miss.

Cedric found himself doing this kind of adventure frequently these past few years. Either he's contempelating about grand solar concept laws or doing this. Of course, it's a given that he'd spend time with his wives, but all things considered, Cedric quite often finds himself restless and antsy.

He space-walked close to Prime Earth and admired it from afar. His eyes then gazed at the sun hovering over the horizon, blessing all life in the vicinity with its brilliance and warmth.

That sun was something he created. He was the Sun Sage after all. It took him a surprising amount of effort to create a real sun, but he managed in the end.

Now, Prime Earth and humans could see and feel the light and warmth of a real sun. This one isn't a poor imitation anymore; it's the real deal.

Actually, the sun he created was leagues better than the old sun that this solar system had, and that's because Cedric created it according to his comprehension of concept laws that have reached the grand solar level. This sun was the best he could create in his current state.

The sun he made could grow simply by existing. No, it wouldn't grow to a point where it will incinerate everything in its vicinity, though it could eventually do that.

Cedric didn't just create a whole sun just to be a decoration or to just return true sunlight to his people. This thing is part of the cogs that will eventually be an intricate system that will protect not only Prime Earth but also the entire Solaris Prime.

But that's a distant matter for now. After all, this thing needs time to grow, and there are many things missing for Cedric's grand formation.

And of course, if there was a sun, there must be a moon as well. Cedric made one and placed it closer to Prime Earth. And just like the sun, this small celestial body has its own secrets as well.

With the Sun and Moon around, whatever's missing in this solar system has been filled. All others will be a new addition from here on out. Cedric felt a huge sense of accomplishment after making this. After all, he did fulfill one of his earlier promises to himself and his people.

After admiring his home from the perspective of a god, Cedric returned to his home at the Sky Palace.

The Sky Palace has expanded since he created it. The space inside was almost as huge as Prime Earth itself. Cedric was admittedly too eager when he expanded this realm. His excuse was because he was preparing a place where his children could grow up healthy and happy. It sure sounds a little too much to give them an entire world's worth of space for a playground, but Cedric didn't think so.

After all, he's excited to be a father.

Cedric appeared within the halls where one of his wives was. It's Isabella who's reading a book while enjoying classical music. She wore a faint smile on her face that no other people aside from her sisters and her husband would see in her.

He sat beside her, and she automatically leaned on his shoulders. He took out a plate of fruits seemingly out of nowhere and began feeding her as she read. He heard a sigh of comfort from her as he did this.

"How's your stroll? See anything interesting?" She asked without peeling her gaze away from her book.

"Same old, same old," he replied casually. "I've seen everything worth noting in there. Though I did double-check the formation just to make sure that they're working alright."

"And how did that go?"

"Fine. Everything's working in perfect order. It doesn't need to be monitored, truly. But it's still wise to check it from time to time so I might have to return every now and then."

This time, Isabella shifted her gaze to him. Her piercing sky blue eyes met his golden pair, and time seemingly froze between the two of them.

After staring at him for some time, Isabella sighed and snuggled deeper into his body. Then she said:

"You know that we could tell, right? You don't really have to pretend around us."

"..."

"It's okay, we'll be fine. Trust your judgement. You've worked so hard for all this. Nothing will happen to us; you've already made sure of that. So, go ahead and pursue your goals."

Cedric couldn't say anything to that. He couldn't say that he's surprised that his wives noticed his mood. He knew that he's not doing a good job at concealing it in the first place.

There's no denying it at this point. Cedric was bored. So much so that he's slowly getting tired of staying in Prime Earth.

There were a few reasons why he felt this way, but the main one was that he hasn't had a good fight in a while. Sure, the strength of his wives combined could make him sweat, but he doesn't enjoy tiring them out that way. His battle with the Demon God was extremely disappointing; he barely tried back then, and the leader of the Space Pirates had already crumbled to nothingness.

Cedric has also seen everything Solaris Prime could offer. He could also predict what's going to happen in a few years, and that makes everything in his perspective to be moving so slowly.

The only saving grace he had was the anticipation of his wives' conception, but even that was happening a little too slowly for his liking, but he couldn't blame it on them or himself.

Sure, Cedric could focus on training and cultivation. Unfortunately, even with the complete recovery of Prime Earth in addition to the things he left to increase the quality of energy within it, it's hardly enough for Cedric's use.

Even if he were to enter a hundred-year seclusion in here, he would only achieve a minor realm advancement in his cultivation base at best. Practicing his sword arts here will be risky since even one single swing of his when he's in serious mode could slict the planet in half.

Hell, just releasing 100% of his aura here could possibly damage the planet immensely. Hence, any form of real training can't be done here.

All Cedric could really do was meditate peacefully and empty his mind. Doing so staves off his restlessness, but it also doesn't do anything helpful beyond that.

And thus, he's stuck in this mood. He wants to do something productive—he wants to return to the tower, but he keeps on postponing it because he doesn't want to leave his wives behind. Especially since if he goes there now, he'd go there with his physical body.

"I think I can endure for some more time. It doesn't have to happen this early."

"They said that they will wait for you until you reach 500 years old. You can't be thinking of delaying it until you're that old, right? That's too late." Isabella frowned. "You'd be way past your prime by then, and your fighting spirit will be weakened by time."

Isabella then sat upright and looked at him solemnly before saying, "You don't have to endure this. This isn't me guilt-tripping you either. We can tell you want to go, so just go. We'll be fine here, and we believe that you'll come back to us alive and intact."

Seeing the determined look on his wife's face, Cedric could only sigh. He held her hand, kissed it, and said,

"I'll go talk to Chrissy and Erica first."
