Upon witnessing the tender exchange, Gilda's beautiful eyes seemed to take on a hint of melancholy as she began to feel distraught.
Severin placed Selene on the ground before hugging Gilda in his embrace. "You've had to go through a lot, Gilda. I haven't forgotten the hardships you've faced. Now that I've achieved the breakthrough to true immortality and have the ability to take care of everyone, I decided right away that I would discuss that with you."
Upon their arrival in Bleurealm, his entire family—alongside Wuhlricht and the elders—had accompanied Severin. Only Hardin, his infant son which Gilda conceived and gave birth to, remained behind. The child had been entrusted to the care of the Skyblue Sect, with Rachel tending to his needs.
After several years of being away from one's own flesh and blood, it was inevitable that Gilda—as a mother—would fret over her son and miss him dearly.
As expected, Gilda's delicate figure trembled upon hearing Severin's words, and tears glistened in her beautiful eyes. Diane and the others hurried over to offer their comfort.
"Gilda, now that Severin is a true immortal status, he will be able to protect Hardin here in the Bleurealm."
"It's been three or four years since we last saw him. I wonder if he's as mischievous as Selene used to be."
"He must be a spiritual prodigy too!"
Having decided on a barbecue, the group swiftly set their plans into motion and sent several disciples to prepare the ingredients and fine wines. Wuhlricht and the others were also notified of the plan.
Before long, the courtyard at Enchanted Peak was abuzz with activity and jubilation.
As Severin prepared to ignite the grill, several rainbow-hued beams pierced through the formation, signaling the arrival of Wuhlricht and the others. Sensing their approach, Severin looked up to see Wuhlricht, now a level five royal paragon, leading the group. The remaining elders had also obtained varying levels of royal paragon.
"Haha, congratulations, Severin! Word has it you've reached the mid-stage true immortal!" Wuhlricht's hearty laughter echoed as he approached, a sense of pride evident in his tone. He believed that wedding his daughter to Severin had been the wisest decision he had ever made.
