"Uncle Drew"

Cheerful and childish voices called out from behind, causing Uncle Drew to let out a defeated sigh...

'Ah, my bad luck.'

Gaia, Akira, Dori, Purity, and Yuna jumped high, their arms wide open as they approached Uncle Drew, who, to their luck, suddenly appeared when they were getting bored.

He had no choice but to indulge the tiny humans in one big hug.

He opens his arm wide, and they jump in like a bunch of crabs.

"Uncle Drew, Gaia misses you so much," Gaia said, wrapping her tiny hands around Uncle Drew's neck.

"Dori misses Uncle Drew."

"Akira also misses Uncle Drew."

"Yuna also misses Uncle Drew."

"Purity also misses Uncle Drew."

Of course, they all had to say it one by one to show just how much they miss him, and they had to do it in the third person, too.

Uncle Drew just hugged them since that was what they came for.

"I miss you all too."

He had only been gone for less than three days. However, a month had already passed inside the Tower. Of course, they spent most of their time in the cities.

However, since Gaia and her two sisters are always building things here and there, they go to the Guardian Tower to work from time to time.

Even so, missing him that much is overly excessive.

But then again, they want to spend some time with him. So now that he is back, nothing is stopping them.

Uncle Drew is somewhat happy, too. After all, he really wants to be in the land of the living, where actual living humans are. That is enough reason for him to be happy.

"Uncle Drew, who are these people?" Yuna asked, raising her head to look at Avotha and the rest who came with Uncle Drew.

"They are my friends I brought back from my travels."

"Can we play with them?" Akira asked.

"Of course you can play with them. However, we now have something important to do, so go back and continue what you were doing. Once we are done, I will call you."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

The troublemakers nodded and ran off, and soon left the mountain garden. When he made sure they were finally gone, Uncle Drew took a deep breath.

He turned to Avotha and the others who stood staring at him. When he saw the expressions on their faces, especially Vargus and Lene, he immediately reprimanded them.

"Not a word to anyone."

"I mean, if the great Kael Duskbane had finally turned into an Uncle of five lovely kids, then why not?" Lene said with a cute smile, which made Uncle Drew chuckle.

He turned to Lio and his brother... "This place is akin to a high world. So you will be suppressed to the limit of a high world. This also means you can use your healing abilities on your brother."

Lio nodded and started healing his brother.

Seeing this, Uncle Drew nodded, then tapped into his connection with Kent and informed him that he had returned.

After that, he led everyone to a lavish sitting area in the newly built Mountain Garden. It is much more beautiful now. Gaia and her sisters had outdone themselves this time.

The air is clean. The plants, flowers, fruit trees and even the chirping birds are some of the most beautiful things you will ever find in the universe.

After they settled down, Lene quickly asked... "Where are we?"

"It is a pocket world owned by the young master. In here, he is the supreme ruler. Unless you have his permission, you cannot enter. I was only able to bring you with me since he gave me the authority to come and go as I please."

"Cool," Vargus said, looking around the garden.

Uncle Drew turned to Avotha with questions written all over his face.

...he studied him for a few seconds before asking:

"We Night Riders don't have to worry about the limitations of planets. We are immune to that restriction. This was why I find it normal that Lene and Vargus are still demigods even in a high world.

However, you are not a Night Rider, so how are you still a demigod even in here?"

Avotha, who was already puzzled by the same thing, thought for a moment before answering... "I have no idea why."

He didn't ask Lio and his brother whether they were in an immortal world for no reason. He expected to be instantly suppressed when they appeared in the eternal world.

Since he wasn't a Night Rider, his cultivation was naturally supposed to be suppressed. However, even after arriving in an immortal world, he remained a demigod.

Now, even inside a High World, he is still a demigod.

That doesn't make any sense.

However, he had no answer as to why, and Uncle Drew most certainly didn't either. So with no answer in sight, he had to drop it and investigate later.

Kent is busy having fun with his wives, so it will be a while before he comes to them. But in the meantime, Uncle Drew decided to tell them more about the Tower World

Of course, with Lio and his brother now at the peak Heavenly Ascension stage, healing his brother from the arrow wounds wasn't too hard.

Kaelen had recovered from the effect of the arrow.

"What do you think about them?" Uncle Drew asked Avotha.

"They are clearly running from a powerful enemy, considering six immortals were after them when we arrived.

However, as to why, they would have to tell us. I can also sense extreme Life energy coming from both of them. But the kid also has Death energy coming off him.

The immortals I refined also have Death energy. So maybe these two are important people."

Uncle Drew nodded and focused more on Lio and his brother. After a few minutes, they stood up and walked toward them.

When they got close, they knelt and bowed. Kaelen, the big brother, spoke... "Thank you for saving us. If there is anything we can do, please tell us."

"No need to bow before us. We only did what was right."

Lio and his brother nodded and stood up.

"Though you can tell us why they were after you."

Lio looked at his brother before he started to answer. Within five minutes, he was done, and the reason became clear to him.

It turned out that the two of them are Mortavians. This race has two distinct types of people: Life Mortavians and Death Mortavians.

One part has Life affinity, while the other has Death affinity. The two live on separate islands, and Cross-marriage is not allowed since nobody dares to bear any abomination.

Lio's family is Life Mortavians, all of them, except Lio. He is both a Life and a Death Mortavian. His unique constitution allows him to harness both Life and Death energies.

His family, who knew that if he was discovered, his life would be in danger, tried to take him away when his bloodline awakened 3 months ago.

However, the Queen of the Life Mortavians caught wind of it and sent people after them. His father, mother, two brothers, and sisters were killed or captured - they are not sure about that.

Only Lio and Kaelen managed to escape the island, and if they hadn't met Uncle Drew and the others when they did, they would have been caught by their pursuers.

"Tragic," Uncle Drew said with a sigh, "In any case, you can stay here for the time being. Later, we will go look for your family"

They nodded and chose to relax on the side.

Five hours later, Kent arrived in the Mountain Garden, causing the three demigods to become happy.
