〖Success! Conditions met! Your Empyreal Angel has awakened its Foundational Path!〗
〖Congratulations! Your Empyreal Angel has established: Virtue Path!〗
〖Congratulations! Your Empyreal Angel has established: Divinity Path!〗
〖Congratulations! Your Empyreal Angel has established: Genesis Path!〗
〖Condition 1 | Virtue Path〗

〖Condition 3 | Genesis Path〗
〖Ding!〗
〖Congratulations! Your Empyreal Angel’s Fortitude has increased!〗
Luke wasn’t surprised by so many system’s panels.
This is the consequence of establishing three foundational paths simultaneously.
Now, there were many more conditions to try.
These conditions were now called branching, the true beginning of evolution.
〖Virtue Path: Pursues morality, compassion, sacrifice, justice, and the understanding of good and evil. 2 Branches.〗
〖Divinity Path: Pursues faith, worship, divinity, sacred authority, and the relationship between mortals and the divine. 5 Branches.〗
〖Genesis Path: Pursues souls, reincarnation, the afterlife, destiny, and the cycle of every existence. 25 Branches.〗
Unfortunately, the system didn’t inform Seraphina of the outcome before executing a condition, so it didn’t answer Seraphina’s question about her final evolved form.
But Luke encouraged her, saying she would learn quickly if she could choose a branch soon.
He asked, "So when are you going to start trying these conditions? The Virtue Path has only two Branches and looks like it’ll be done quickly. Or do you want to try all the branches at once? All... thirty-two of them?"
However, Luke’s encouragement didn’t register with Seraphina. She looked like a lazy cat, drowsy like a child, rather than the being who once maintained order.
She spoke cautiously and indirectly, while her master awaited her response. "I’m tired," she groaned.
"Huh? Tired?" Luke repeated. "Are you serious? You want to be a goddess, but you don’t want to put in the effort?"
Seraphina opened her mouth to speak, but couldn’t say anything. So she looked at Luke obediently, leaned against him, and sobbed like a spoiled child. She thought this trick might work, because she had learned it after studying humans for several weeks.
But Seraphina also knows that her master can be solid at times...
However, the trick did work.
Since she said she was tired, Luke was willing to let her rest.
When Amigo saw this scene, he was incredulous and could only assume that Luke was a puppet under Seraphina’s spell.
"Master, this is so unfair. If I refused, you would definitely force me," he complained.
Meanwhile, Seraphina stuck out her tongue behind Luke and replied, "Perhaps this shows who the master’s favorite is."
At the same time, Luke sighed. His summons began to tear each other apart again. He had no choice but to come up with a solution acceptable to both sides.
"Amigo, I’ve been forcing you because you were my first resurrected," Luke said. "We had no choice but to grow together, gaining power and stability. Without the foundation of power you laid, Seraphina would have no room to rest, which means she owes you a favor. Besides, she has so many branches to adopt, perhaps all of them. Let her take her time."
A smug smile appeared on Amigo’s face, and he said to Seraphina: "Very well, you can be his "favorite," but guess who his true friend, who has shared life and death with him from the very beginning, is?"
"Alright, let’s get back to what we were doing," Luke said. "So far, we’ve been doing quite well in the Insect World, buying dimensional items and offering armor for sale. Now, Seraphina, what role would you play for us?"
Seraphina thought for a moment, but she wasn’t that clever to think things through, so she came up with a practical solution.
"I can help train the Primordial Twin Forms. You know, if you leave them in your Soul Space for too long, they won’t learn to act like the Dark Dragon Lord."
Seconds later, Luke summoned the Primordial Twin Forms of the Dark Dragon Lord.
Earlier, he dismissed them because they fought and caused chaos, and what Luke and Amigo desired was orderliness.
So, with their "mother," Seraphina, present, maybe the dragons would obey.
A flash!
Once the dragons were summoned, they felt Seraphina’s spirit around.
This was because Seraphina had incubated them within her soul, and they were biologically and spiritually inclined to obey her presence, or at least to derive strong comfort from it.
As they embraced Seraphina, flying happily around her and snuggling close, Seraphina wept with joy: "My darlings!"
Bo’s unruly demeanor was gone now as he nuzzled Seraphina affectionately, and then wrapped his body around her, but did not injure her.
Despite such size, this twin behaved like a child reunited after a long separation, his tail wagging merrily and showing no intention of letting the angel go.
Meanwhile, Lan flew around restlessly and lowered her head for Seraphina to pet and used her wings to cover everyone.
When Bo tried to attract more of his mother’s attention, Lan started to fight him, but Seraphina dismissed such behaviour in her presence.
Luke knows other summoners don’t have summons that develop such affection for each other, making him proud that his summons are beings with independent consciousness, all of whom accepted him as their master and father.
After letting his summons have fun, Luke returned to Earth and dumped 1,000 pieces of insect metal into his second bedroom, which he had been searching for a use for.
When he returned to his workshop in the insect world, a notification awaited him—one of the most unexpected things he had ever seen.
〖Congratulations! Your workshop has evolved to Tier C!〗
〖Congratulations! You have unlocked access to the Dragon World and the Primate World. Be kind to varying species!〗
"The Dragon World and the Primate Realm? Two worlds at once?" Luke murmured, his heart racing.
Two more doors appeared in the workshop, making a total of three.
One door leads to the Insect World, while the other two led to the Dragon World and the Primate World.
This meant Luke’s workshop wasn’t built in one world, but is connected to many worlds within one dimensional point in space.
Therefore, contrary to Luke’s assumptions, his workshop wasn’t built in the Insect World.
It is just that the Insect World was the first connection to the workshop.
Now, with the Dragon World and the Primate World unlocked, dragons and primates may enter and exit the workshop like insects from the Insect World.
Meaning that dragons, primates, and insects can now meet each other in this workshop, even though they had never met before, thus making this workshop a bridge connecting different worlds.
Furthermore, with two new worlds, his summons can be nurtured and evolved in the new worlds, just like Amigo’s evolution in the Life Tree in the Insect World, doubling their evolution opportunities.
Finally, having two new worlds means a wide variety of dimensional items.
The world of dragons will have dragon metal, dragon leather, dragon cloth, and so on; the world of primates will possess primate metal, primate thread, primate cloth, and so on.
This brings diversity to the market he has just created on Earth, and of course, more wealth.
