The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 437: Marriage Act



Astra Novare, a child of the Star Lord, gazed blankly at the sky, looking a little lost.

"Am I, one of the top reincarnators, really about to get married?" Astra muttered mockingly.

With the Marriage Act promulgated a hundred years ago, all individuals, regardless of gender or identity, are required to get married before the age of 100.

To be exempt from this rule, one must either have a Tier 9 Apex Sovereign backing or possess an overwhelming talent to reach the Tier 8 realm before turning 100.

Unfortunately, Astra had neither of these conditions.

Although his parents were Tier 8 Star Lords, it wasn\'t enough.

Even as a reincarnator blessed by the reincarnation space, Astra\'s talent was barely sufficient.

"This might sabotage my mission..." Astra sighed.

Astra was a reincarnator of the Time-Space Bureau, one of the overlord organizations in the Aeon Plane.

Their mission was to watch, protect, eliminate, and rebuild everything in the Aeon Plane, maintaining a state of balance.

As a top reincarnator, Astra\'s mission was to observe or even spy on this emerging variable.

According to the Reincarnation Master, the Etherium Alliance was a hegemonic force that appeared in the mid to late stages of the catastrophe.

To prevent any uncontrollable factors and to increase their chances of winning, the Reincarnation Master sent him here to act as a spy.

Astra felt it was a waste of manpower to use a top reincarnator as a spy.

The Etherium Realm was only a Tier 9 realm, and even given another billion epochs, it would at most reach Tier 12.

How could it be one of the variables in the future?

[Agent 7, your thoughts are in disarray; you must concentrate on your mission.]

"I\'m about to get married. How can I concentrate?" Astra muttered in dissatisfaction.

In all his missions, Astra had completed them perfectly without any romantic entanglements.

He felt it was a hindrance that might compromise his mission.

History also proved his point, with all his seniors dying or getting demoted due to such missteps.

[This is the last mission given to you by the Reincarnation Master. After this, you can retire.]

"Really? Can I retire?!" Astra asked in disbelief.

Although the life of a reincarnator was full of fun and adventure, it was also a tragic experience of life and death.

Thinking of the times he nearly died during missions, his heart raced.

If he could retire after this mission, Astra would buy a dimension and live the pastoral life of his dreams.

[Yes, you can retire. If you fail, the Aeon Plane might be destroyed by then.]

"Easy, Neon. I will fulfill this task even at the cost of death!" Astra said firmly, fearing Neon would continue to scare him with the Aeon Plane\'s destruction.

[You better be...]

"Astra, you brat, where are you?!" his enraged mother said, finally finding him.

"M-mom," Astra stuttered, looking at his fierce mother.

"The girl is already waiting for you!"

"What are you still doing here?!"

"Your father and I had to find the perfect girl for you, and yet you\'re still brooding here?!"

"Mom, I\'m not used to this. I\'m only 57 years old. Why are you in such a hurry..." Astra said helplessly.

He was already at Tier 4, a talented prodigy for his age.

With a thousand years of lifespan, he was like a toddler who had just learned to walk.

"Hmph! You\'re already so old. I heard that the Old Nova next to us had his grandson married at the age of 18."

"That\'s different. I\'m so talented and handsome; I should preserve myself and wait for my value to increase."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can you compare yourself to those geniuses?!" His mother said, speechless.

The prodigies his mother was referring to were the sons and daughters of the Apex Sovereigns.

The exemption clause of reaching the Tier 8 realm before the age of 100 could be easily achieved by them.

With top-notch resources from the virtual realm, these prodigies could reach the Tier 8 realm in just a few decades, even without much effort.

Unlike them, who had to work hard for every bit of resource.

Those geniuses only need to lie down and concentrate on cultivation.

Although Astra had a dimensional physique, it was not fully awakened.

His resources were barely even enough to cultivate to Tier 4 in over 50 years.

Astra\'s real cultivation level was Tier 11, a master of the River of Law.

However, to cut his cause and effect and reincarnate successfully, Astra had to degrade to the lowest level.

All his knowledge, ultimate physique, and mastery of the River of Law had to be deactivated or degraded.

Astra could only regain them once he cultivated to the corresponding realm.

Soon after being reprimanded by his fierce mother for a few minutes, Astra had no choice but to bow to fate and allow himself to be dragged along.

Entering the family hall, Astra met his fiancée.

Looking at the girl\'s innocent eyes, lovely eyebrows, and tempting lips, Astra couldn\'t help but gulp.

[Agent 7, hold yourself!] Neon, his system teased.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

His mother noticed his reaction and smiled knowingly.

"It seems the Etherium Church matchmaking service is indeed impeccable," his mother thought.

The Etherium Church is a branch of the Etherium Alliance that handles all marriages in the Etherium Realm.

Whether it\'s weddings, disputes, punishments, or matchmaking, the church ensures a smooth process.

Using data gathered by four spirit goddesses from each continent, the Etherium Church could choose the perfect partner for each other.

Whether in aesthetics, temperament, goals, likes, dislikes, everything would be match perfectly.

An apex sovereign or a god proficient in fate and divinity would even confirm if what they chose is perfect.

This service ensures that everyone has a perfect marriage.

It\'s one of Maximus\' compensations for the forced maneuvers happening in the Etherium Realm.

Securing perfect marriages was conducive to cultivating amalgamation of will and reduces resentment among the people.

Meanwhile, seeing the girl in front of him, Astra\'s resistance to marriage lessened a little.

"Hello, I\'m Astra," he greeted.

"I\'m Alice, nice to meet you," the girl said cutely, at least in his eyes.

Seeing the two talking softly, both Astra\'s and Alice\'s parents looked at each other and excitedly discussed the marriage.

What used to be a mundane event for mortals had become quite significant.

Even Apex Sovereigns were actively involved in arranging the best partners for their relatives.

Although the Marriage Act was forcefully enforced, the benefits it brought were real.

Besides happiness, the continuation of the bloodline, and marriage alliances, it also provided practical benefits.

Even though Readius and Alabaster claimed rewards were redundant and a waste of money, Maximus couldn\'t afford to be stingy.

Every successful marriage and childbirth would be heavily rewarded, with rare resources or top exercises freely exchangeable within the Etherium Alliance.

However, Astra and Alice\'s parents meticulously arranged the marriage not only for these benefits but also to uphold their status.

As Star Lords, a shabby wedding could invite ridicule among their peers.

It might even incur bullying when their children set out to the world.

Meanwhile, fascinated by his fiancée, Astra took Alice around Star Island for a stroll.

"Your island is beautiful," Alice said, smiling beautifully.

"You\'re more beautiful..." Astra muttered unconsciously.

"What?"

"N-no, nothing!" Astra hurriedly said.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Oh~"

Heaving a sigh of relief, Astra felt that having a partner wasn\'t so bad after all.

...

A few years later, after the grand wedding, Astra and Alice became mighty Star Lords.

Looking at his wife sleeping peacefully in bed, Astra couldn\'t help but reminisce about his innocence.

Opening her eyes, Alice looked fiercely at Astra.

"Where is my good morning kiss?"

Hastily fulfilling his wife\'s request, Astra gave her a kiss.

"Good. Prepare breakfast; I\'m hungry."

"As ordered!" Astra hurriedly stood up, shaking off his previous drowsiness.

Hurrying to the kitchen, Astra quickly prepared breakfast for his wife.

[Agent 7, I didn\'t expect you to fall this low~]

"What do you know? This is the power of love!" Astra replied through gritted teeth.

Astra thought he would live happily with his gentle wife but didn\'t expect to become the servant of a little tigress.

[Do you want me to annihilate her? Then you\'d be single,] his system joked.

"NO! Don\'t you dare!" Astra muttered coldly.

Even as a joke, Astra didn\'t take it lightly.

Although his wife was far from his imagination, the care and warmth he felt were so real that he felt like a living being.

The time he was with his wife, Astra felt alive not just a robot focused on completing missions.

[Chill, Agent 7. With the Dimensional Master watching over this world, I can\'t even mobilize a bit of my power,] Neon said helplessly.

The power of the Dimensional Master, overseeing the Etherium Realm, was so immense that even a slight leak would be noticed.

If Neon wasn\'t careful, they would be discovered instantly.

"Anyway, don\'t talk about this, and don\'t ever disrespect my wife," Astra said seriously.

[As ordered, Agent 7.]
