"The person in charge accepted our request."
"That's good."
Standing in the conference room was Theresa. She, along with many high-ranking officials, are gathered together to form a temporary war council. The sudden announcement regarding aliens as well as Earth's intention to help Mars was met with zero resistance all because of one person:
Shi Tian.
The legendary First Cultivator held the highest authority within the Wushi Dao Sect. Although the Federation and the Wushi Dao Sect are two separate entities, everyone knows that half of the Federation's high-ranking officials are sect disciples on a management mission. The remaining half are those who have extraordinary governing talent but possess low cultivation talent.
Most importantly, everyone present was screened through layers upon layers of character tests. It effectively reduced corruption rates to an extremely small rate, with cases of them occurring on the lower levels of administration.
Nobody inside this room knew that the First Cultivator is right beside Theresa. The perception alteration of a peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator is unmatched throughout Earth.
In their eyes, Theresa is sitting silently while sifting through reports.
"It will take ten more minutes until Hyperion is ready for launch. Will that be fine?"
"It won't be a problem."
Hyperion has been retrofitted according to immortal cultivation standards. However, it will only play a minor role this time.
Aside from the projected cultivators using the seventh grade [Dream-Eating Tapir's Gemstone], the ones who would face Sa would be the active Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
Out of the ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, only Bronya and Fu Hua are in seclusion. The six present—Kiana included—are more than enough to finish off Sa.
The two chatted for a while before Shi Tian drifted away. Theresa subconsciously glanced at the direction he left.
'Blood… it's his blood..?'
Her face almost turned red at the thought of it. Theresa held supernatural powers related to the Dao of Blood, Moon, and Yin. The blood of Demon Beasts serves as a good tonic to her cultivation.
Back then, she was puzzled as to why Shi Tian gave off such an attractive scent. She realized by now that it was his blood. Kiana bit too hard before the formal meeting with Siegfried and Theresa that it left traces of blood within his immortal robe. Theresa happened to sense it because of their close proximity.
Since then, it never left her mind.
'No, no! This is bad…'
Unbeknownst to Shi Tian, his hidden incubus traits troubled someone else's aunt.

Nascent Soul Realm cultivators possess the speed of light… at bare minimum. I appeared atop Mars' atmosphere instantly. Its red soil extended throughout the surface. Large cracks appeared periodically on the ground. The most extreme places of this planet spewed out magma from the ground.
A brief reconstruction of its appearance a billion years ago confirmed it is habitable. Two Moons riddled with cracks and craters revolved around this celestial body.
Mars…
I wouldn't have dreamed of visiting it in my past life.
"Still busy daydreaming?"
Kiana's voice drifted into my ears. I looked back and saw her being ever-so-elegant. The Finality battlesuit is the pinnacle of human ingenuity, I swear…
"It's not like you didn't like daydreaming."
"Oh…"
She nodded her head in embarrassment. Her aggrieved look made it clear she will…
"Hum."
…retaliate.
I froze on my tracks. She bit my neck. As if that wasn't enough, she used her tongue to tickle it.
"Others will come at any time…"
"Mn..? I don't care."
"..."
With a teasing voice, she carried on what she did. Her breasts pressed onto my back. Her arms locked me into a lock, with her fingertips circling atop my garment in a teasing way.
It took a while before I realized what's happening.
Kiana misses our dual cultivation sessions.
It is the Tuna's pent-up frustration spanning four years. Our dual cultivation session right after I woke up did nothing. Three months are too short for her now.
I used my spiritual consciousness to shield us from the real world.
"Hm…"
This fueled her to take more drastic actions. Her right hand already entered my inner garb…
Zoom-!
The two newcomers left me with no choice but to close my eyes and accept whatever's coming next.
"Sister Kiana."
Seele's voice forced Kiana to let go of me. I fixed my messy clothes with a spell.
"Ah. How is it going, Seele?"
"Not bad…"
After Kiana's greeting, she went straight to playing with my right hand. I could feel Veliona's piercing gaze, what more of Seele's increasingly… lustful look.
Before I could catch a breath, another newcomer appeared.
It is Sirin.
She did not say anything and walked right behind me. Kiana gave her a look and enthusiastically gestured to my right hand. Sirin is stunned for a second before joining Kiana in playing with my right hand.
I saw Seele and Veliona exchange glances. They steadily walked up to my left side… and began playing with my left hand.
Nobody said a word, yet I could feel a sense of connection between them.
They are quadruple teaming against me!
My speechlessness erased the very notion of speaking. I let this situation be until the others arrived.
Hei Xuanyuan is the first one to do so. She kept her eyes on me as she stood ten feet to my right—like a loyal bodyguard. Ji Xuanyuan appeared right beside her. She whispered something to Hei Xuanyuan. I chose not to intrude further and focused on the matter at hand.
Three hundred kilometers above its surface lay a huge monster. It is surrounded by dark clouds and huge bolts of lightning. Bird-like monsters numbering in hundreds surrounded its radius.
It is a part of Sa, a tentacle so as to speak. Unless the true Sa comes out—her final phase during the Boss fight—she will remain unaffected by whatever comes to her.
It is why she was defeated only when Hare locked her out of the Sea of Quanta, allowing Kiana to snipe her from the Moon.
That terrifying Tuna is right beside me, but not completely. The Kiana beside me is a projection born out of the Dao of Void. Her true self remained on the Moon. She will be responsible for dealing the decisive strike later on, granted our power falls short.
After a while, Sin Mal caught up to us. She brought Hare along with her. The moment Kiana caught a glimpse of her, she fell silent.
Sin Mal's eyes directed a huge amount of grievance towards me, and then… jealousy..?
Although everyone is quiet, a torrent of emotions swept me like a strong gust of wind. It is a trial experience of handling eight women at once. It is very difficult, but I have a hunch I will face far more terrifying things than it. All I need to do is to man up and learn how to handle it.
I broke this strange yet chaotic scene.
"That thing in the sky is a part of her true form. I sensed a foreign power within her."
Sa chooses to hide deep within the Sea of Quanta. Why would she, a steady person, suddenly make a move knowing Kiana is still here?
There's a simple answer for that.
While the barrier was down...
When the troubles caused by IX reached its peak...
"An Aeon gazed upon her."
