What happened on Varian's birthday never happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amanda is still alive. I am still living with Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian awakened and is a great genius. As a result, he too got admission to the defense academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, we both attend the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian is pursuing his dream. And I grew stronger myself while being happy at his growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, we meet Sarah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bit unexpected, but Varian and Sarah have complementary personalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, instead of the Siarah team, we have Siaran team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an abyss mission, we found a treasure that could lock Sarah's second path. So, she too began to keep up with this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to our synergy, we were able to take far more difficult missions and grew extremely fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time we graduated, all of us were at the peak of level 6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were all enlisted into Neptune. Of course, I opposed the decision a bit originally. But Varian insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Neptune is the greatest battle.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ended up opting for the same place and well, Sarah also joined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian and I didn't want her to risk her life. But having been with her for three years, we both knew that she too had an aspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'My mother and brother were killed in Pluto. I want to avenge them! Neptune is the frontier against Pluto! It is the only place I'll go to.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like that, the three of us ended up in Neptune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by like a river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian, Sarah, and I turned twenty-six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We all reached level 7 and got the titles of prince and princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's a bit funny, but Varian rejected the title outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Come on, I want to be called Emperor. Prince is really demeaning to me.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I laughed at his words while Sarah called him a narcissist, even though in private, she said he was likely to reach the Sovereign state in our generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen more years passed and Humanity has now gained a definitive edge over abyssals. The federation is gaining an unquestionable dominance in planetoids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for us, we three reached level 8 this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are forty-one already. But we still look the same as in the twenties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are positive to reach level 9 in just ten years due to the treasures we won in the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there's a far bigger problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amanda insists she wants to hold a grandson. Whether it is from me or from Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But doesn't she know…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, I can see the amusement in her eyes when she asks me in front of Varian. \"Sia, do you have any good friends who can match Varian?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asks this every time when Varian is drinking water. So, every time, he ends up choking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't answer, but I end up laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah too teased him multiple times as the \"Man who won't get married.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I joined her and rightfully bullied him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He's taking too long. Or was he expecting me to take the initiative?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We reached level 9 a year before our expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The planetoids are now under complete control of humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of us hit 50 this year. For better or worse, I was the oldest of us. Followed by Sarah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian is the youngest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's bad news though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah's father is on his death bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander, Steelheart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man whose fame reverberated in every corner of the federation. A man who was touted to become a Sovereign, but failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Sarah cried, we noticed that there was an awkwardness between them. These two… haven't had a proper talk for decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian and I waited outside to give them private space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah came out of the emergency room in tears and called us in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Take care of her.\" The man held Varian's hand and said his last words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…I understood what he meant. So did Varian and Sarah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But we didn't talk about it after that. There was a tactic silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The topic of marriage was also dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah was down for a year but with Varian's help, she was back on her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…I pushed him to help her, even though we could've done it together. As for why I didn't know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten more years passed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humanity's conquest of the abyss fell into a stalemate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then one day, Varian reached the Sovereign state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We prayed at Amanda's grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian and I cried while Sarah consoled us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two months after his breakthrough, humanity conquered the first abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two years later, we conquered the last abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, Varian grew to be the strongest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got the titles he always dreamed of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Savior—the one who saves humanity from the abyssals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor—the one who'd bring the scattered governance of the solar system under a single throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peerless—the strongest awakener to date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day of his coronation, he kept his promise and I witnessed the ceremony at the closest possible distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few decades later, we decided to travel the stars and find the secrets of my origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He achieved his dream and my dream began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or it should've.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I didn't wake up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice that woke me up sounded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Day 2.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1230,"2026-06-06T07:58:24.533Z",1,"novelbin.me","a5d9e901b4e9696a90bad63c558c6e8245cd54083482b256ae121b761e69e068","divine-path-system-chapter-598","divine-path-system-chapter-596",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
