"My attainment is low in so many elements."
Lith said softly as he opened his eyes after finishing looking at his core.
Having an all-elemental affinity had its pros and cons. The cons were that one had to work much harder than others as they would need to raise their attainments in all elemental energies.
But one of the pros of being an all-elemental mage was that they could choose any path they wanted to walk on.
"I can obviously choose the destruction path if I want since that could give me lots of attacking power, but then, there would be nothing that would make me stand out from the rest and give me an advantage."
Lith assessed himself.
He then stood up and stretched his body. He had reached a conclusion.
"It's decided. I have twelve elemental affinities, I'll walk all twelve paths." Lith said it like it was only normal to do so but it was far from it. In fact, it was a great exaggeration that could shake the world to its core. Even the people with six elemental affinities dared not walk more than three paths.
However, a long time ago a human had walked more than three paths. That person had walked five paths but it had been so long that nobody even remembered him.
His ascension to Half Emperor Rank was known by everyone but during his ascension to Supreme Rank, he suddenly disappeared.
With the passage of time, people eventually forgot about him and the one that is officially known by everyone to have walked the most path was none other than the Elf Queen.
The Elf Queen walked the path of Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire and her attainments in these four elements were the highest as pared to anyone else in this world.
Though she had such high attainments and walked on four paths, she still wasn't stronger than the Heavenly Emperor since that being was more than a million years old.
It was thus still a debatable topic whether walking on many paths would result in a person being stronger than others or not.
Whatever the case, Lith had decided to walk the twelve paths. His sister was doing it and he had a hunch that his mother was proficient in all twelve as well. If he didn't want to be left behind those two, he couldn't choose anything else.
"I first need to increase my attainment in the Life element and what better place for that could be other than the Elven Continent?"
The Elves were the ones closest to nature and many had Life affinity. Their continent was filled with Life element resources and was the best place to go if one had to understand Life laws better and gain attainment.
The second best place for the same was the Angel Continent but they had strict rules and not everyone was allowed there. Since angels could be corrupted easily by others, only specific places were open for people from other continents and races to visit.
They also banned the entry of demons and devils for this reason.
Lith looked at his core for a bit more and then exited it. His core came back into his body and he jumped down from the roof of the castle.
Lith fell freely down and as he neared the ground, he extended his wings out and flew towards the courtyard of the castle.
In the courtyard, Lith saw his mother sitting and calmly sipping on some tea. She seemed to be in deep thought about something.
Seeing her, Lith knew exactly whom he wanted to spend his first year with.
Lith flew towards the courtyard and landed below. As soon as his foot touched the ground, his wings retracted. Then he elegantly walked towards Lilith.
Lilith had noticed Lith's movement before and wasn't surprised to suddenly see him.
'Surprising her is almost impossible.' Lith thought as he approached her.
As Lith reached close to her, he went behind her back and hugged her neck.
"What are you doing, mom?"
"Having tea. You want to have some?" Lilith replied calmly.
"No, I want to have you," Lith replied with a smirk.
Lilith rolled her eyes and turned to look up at Lith's face.
"Do you think mama is in the mood, baby?"
Lilith had been worried about Lith's safety ever since she had learned of the mysterious entity that was trying to control him. She wasn't in the mood for jokes now.
Lith smiled and replied, "Of course, you aren't. That's why let's go on a date. I am sure your mood will get better."
"A date?" Lilith suddenly didn't feel so bad anymore. A date surely sounded nice as she'll get to spend a lot of time with her baby and get more intimate as well.
"Yes. I've decided to spend more time with my wives. Now that the marriage is over, the honeymoon remains. Let's go on a date first and then we'll go for our honeymoon as well." Lith replied with the same smile as before.
Hearing that, Lilith asked, "So you're taking the others on a date as well?"
Suddenly, her mood took a plunge when she thought that other wives would also acpany them on the date. Lilith didn't feel so good at the thought of having to share her baby with others.
Lith shook his head. "It's just you and me. I am going to go on dates and honeymoon with everyone individually. The first person I want to take out is you, mom. So are you ing?"
Lilith immediately felt warm in her heart as she realized she was her son's first priority. She might've cried, but she had already fulfilled her crying quota for the month earlier in the astral world.
Lilith smiled brightly after hearing that and said softly, "I am ing."
Looking at his mother's contagious radiant smile, Lith smiled as well and said, "let's not waste time and leave now."
"Now!?"
