Within the expanding and prosperous Walt family base, Dan sat with calm authority at the head of a grand hall. Recently constructed to accommodate the growing clan, the hall was a masterpiece of utility and comfort, featuring long tables and ample space for communal feasts and strategic meetings.
The base itself had transformed into a small village. As Dan's eldest sons matured, they required independence; consequently, a separate residential wing was established. Each grown son now possessed his own home, with sixteen-year-old Sam leading this new generation of householders. Dan's daughters, however, remained in the central sector with the twelve wives and the younger children who still required maternal care.
The count of Dan's children had reached exactly thirty-six. Each of his wives had birthed at least three children over the years, some four, and several were currently expecting. Dan welcomed this growth; as long as his wives chose to conceive of their own free will, he supported them. Thanks to the Vitality Seal, pregnancy and childbirth did not drain them as they would ordinary women. Their enhanced biology allowed for rapid recovery and sustained health, a physical resilience that Dan intended to bolster even further.
Once Dan finished applying the organ-targeted seal to himself, he planned to upgrade his wives to the muscle-nourishing tier. This would not only enhance their strength but extend their lifespans to over three hundred years. In such a vast stretch of time, Dan realized he would eventually become the patriarch of hundreds, if not thousands, of descendants. To him, this wasn't a burden, but a testament to his legacy.
Scanning the room, Dan's sharp eyes noted a striking visual unity. Every child, without exception, possessed his signature sky-blue hair and crystalline blue eyes—dominant genetic traits that marked them clearly as members of the Walt bloodline. Only the twelve wives retained their original, diverse appearances.
Dan insisted on these grand dinners at least twice a week. He believed that regular, warm interaction was vital to maintaining the bond between siblings who varied greatly in age. It ensured the family remained a cohesive unit rather than a collection of strangers sharing a name.
He also observed an interesting side effect of their Kekkei Genkai: as the children awakened their bloodline limits, their appetites became monstrous. They consumed vast quantities of energy-dense food to fuel their evolving bodies. To meet this demand, Dan ordered a massive expansion of the family's livestock—cattle, sheep, and poultry—to ensure the larders were always overflowing.
The atmosphere in the hall was one of absolute devotion. His children looked at him with a complex blend of deep appreciation and paralyzing awe. They had witnessed his training; they had seen him pulverize mountains and move with god-like speed. They knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that their father was likely the most powerful being in existence.
To an outsider, however, Dan didn't look like a father of thirty-six. Thanks to the constant cellular regeneration of his advanced seals, he appeared to be a young man in his early twenties. His skin was flawless, his physique perfectly honed, and his vibrant blue hair and eyes radiated an aura of eternal youth and overwhelming power.
As he looked around at his wives and children gathered under one roof, Dan felt a rare, profound sense of pride. This was his empire, built with patience and protected by his own hand.
