Outside the Bur castle, the most powerful cultivators of the Azure Dragon Continent were gathered.


    Among them, some were recognizable, like Sam''s mother, his maternal aunts, maternal grandmother, his parental aunt, his parental grandmother, and others who were more or less relevant to Sam.


    Sam''s parental aunt, Victoria reheart, appeared beside Helena, looking as if she had just woken up from a very long nap.


    "Were you sleeping until now?" Lorraine asked, noticing her state.


    "Yeah?" Victoria casually replied as if it was no big deal.


    "Aren''t you going to contribute to the kingdom? Did you forget that my son has decided to coalesce all thends belonging to the five dragon ns into one great nation?" Helena asked, crossing her arms as if scolding a kid.


    "That''s exactly why I''mzing around?" Victoria smiled slightly. "Our Sam is the progenitor. As long as he wishes, the kingdom is his, every dragon in existence is bound to the orders of the great Dragon King."


    "We don''t need to do any work; let the other dragons do it. If theyin, then we will just show our status as dragon progenitor''s family members."


    "That''s..." Helena didn''t know what to say to that.


    "That''s actually a great idea. We can just fool around and let the other noble dragons do all the work," Lorraine pped her hands, grinning from ear to ear.


    "I should probably inform Sam. I guess only he can make you guys work now," Helena nodded to herself then looked at Ava, who was silently listening to the conversation.


    "What? What''s with that look?" Ava felt ufortable under her gaze.


    "Aren''t you spending way too much time with Sam? Even after he became our progenitor, it doesn''t seem to have reduced one bit," Helena''s grin widened a little.


    "S-So what? W-What''s the problem?" Ava was a little concerned, wondering why Helena was asking the obvious.


    "Nothing in particr, just asking."


    "Even if Sam bes our progenitor, he can''t make every single decision on his own. Not to mention, he is also the progenitor of vampires. From what Amelia and the other girls exined about his true identity, he might be the progenitor of other races too. If I''m guessing correctly, he will probably unite the five continents under one banner."


    "Sam made it clear that even though he regained his past life memories, he is still our Sam, my Sam. As his kin, it is our duty to help him manage thends, though I believe he won''t ask us to do any work for him because he loves us too much," Adriana said, remembering what Sam told her in his Dragon Progenitor form.


    Lorraine sighed after thinking about what her mother said just now. "I understand. I want to be by his side, so of course, I will do my job as his beloved aunt."


    "We won''t be a burden either," Ava and Victoria said in unison.


    "Good," Adriana smiled in satisfaction. "Now, what are those auras closing in on us rapidly? I can sense multiple from different directions."


    Right then, distorted figures made out of darkness stood up from their shadows.


    "These are our son''s shadow soldiers?"


    Bobby stepped out and kneeled before Helena and the others in respect. "Mistresses, my lord has sent you a message."


    "It still feels weird being called ''mistress'' by the shadow soldiers who once scared me in my sleep," Ava thought to herself.


    Adriana picked up the parchment from his hand and read it for a few seconds.


    "What does it say, mother?" Lorraine asked with a curious expression.


    "It says that the auras that are closing in are not hostile. He asked us to lower our guard and keep anyone from attacking recklessly."


    Just then, the temperature seemed to grow intense. When the cultivators looked up, they saw the sun appearing to growrger andrger, and the temperature increased along with it.


    "Is that really the sun descending to thend of the living?" Victoria muttered.


    "No, it''s not," Adriana replied. "It''s a person."


    When the descending sun seemed like it was about to hit thend of the living and disintegrate everything in its way, the sun stopped in its tracks.


    The mini sun exploded in a st, burning every ounce of air in the surroundings, revealing a giant bird shaped like a crow but with yellowish-red feathers resembling the mes of the sun.


    "It''s a golden crow. What is a golden crow doing here?" Duncan, Ophelia''s father, muttered in confusion.


    Just then, another screech of a bird resounded even more, attracting the attention of everyone present.


    This time it was a giant raven as dark as night, its aura as chilling as a northern winter night.


    It''s purple eyes revealed a coldness and ruthlessness like it could drown anything in darkness.


    At the center of the night raven''s forehead, there was a symbol of a white crescent moon glowing ethereally. Even in daylight, it was very much visible.


    "It''s a night raven this time."


    The night raven looked at the golden crow with its fiery reddish-yellow eyes, while the golden crow returned the same look with its nose blowing me sparks.


    "They wouldn''t start to fight now, would they?" Victoria asked with an ufortable smile.


    "I wouldn''t bet on it. The golden crows and night ravens have never gotten along, even though they are neighbors," Adriana stated.


    "They won''t fight," Sam appeared in his human form, with shoulder-length blonde hair and hazel eyes. His golden robe had a majestic diagram of a dragon on it.


    This was one of his four human forms—two of them were the old ones he already possessed, and the other two manifested after he became the progenitor of vampires and dragons.


    The form he was in right now was the form he got from turning into the dragon progenitor, which was literally his progenitor form without the prominent dragon features.


    Both the golden crow and the night raven abruptly turned their eyes toward the man, who also smiled gently at them.


    In a second, the golden crow and the night raven''s transformations became undone, revealing two otherworldly women with beauty that could even make the rocks blush.


    The golden crow turned into a young woman with fiery reddish-yellow hair that seemed to resonate with the sun itself.


    Her purple eyes were instantly drawn to the young man standing on the ground.


    The night raven transformed into a young woman with night-like ck hair that seemed to harmonize with the moon.


    Her fiery eyes fell upon the young man with blonde hair, and her heart moved with strange fluctuations.


    Without a moment to pass, both women disappeared from their spots and jumped on Sam, hugging him and wrapping their arms around his neck while burying their faces in his chest, feeling his warmth.


    "I see you two are just as beautiful as in our past life, my dear wives," Sam slowly said.


    "And you''re as cheeky as ever, darling," the Night Raven girl said, chuckling.


    "I also think you''ve be even more handsome than in our previous life, darling," the Golden Crow girl muttered, touching his cheeks lovingly.


    "Hmm, I''m so d you are in my arms right now," Sam muttered and tightly wrapped his hands around them, not caring that his family members were watching.


    Helena appeared beside Ophelia and whispered in her ears. "Are those two my daughters-inw as well?"


    "Yes," Ophelia nodded.


    "In our past lives, these two were identical twins. Both of them fell in love with our darling andter gave birth to his daughters who would soon be the progenitors of Golden Crows and Night Ravens."


    The Golden Crow girl, named Aurora Sris, the princess of the radiant Sris kingdom, one of the major forces of the Vermilion Bird continent, looked at Sam giggling secretly.


    "Darling, are we the first to meet you yet?"


    "Um, about that," Sam pointed at five people who were standing not far from them with their inw family.


    "Hello there, twins," Mia waved her hand.


    "Sometimes these two can be more annoying than the Lycan bitch herself," Amelia said, smiling.


    "Oi, stop calling me a bitch, bitch," Lenora snorted.


    "Good to be reunited with you, twins," Ophelia greeted them, ignoring Amelia and Lenora''s banter, which she was already used to after all, it was the same in their past life too.


    "They never change, do they?" the Night Raven chuckled to herself then greeted her remaining sister from the past life. Of course, she ignored Lenora and Amelia.


    She is Nisha Lunaris, the princess of the Serene Lunaris Kingdom, another major force in the Vermilion Continent.


    The Night Ravens always had conflicts with the Golden Crows.


    It was ironic considering both were simr in race and had descended from progenitors who were sisters, daughters of twin mothers.
