"Home," Kaelen repeated softly, taking in the impossible city stretching to the horizon. "This is really our new home."

Sarah moved closer to her. "It takes adjustment. But you'll come to love it. The cultivation opportunities here are beyond anything the multiverse can offer."

"I can feel that." Kaelen's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Just breathing here, I can sense Infinity Law concepts I couldn't even perceive before. The research possibilities..."

"Mother's already planning her institute, isn't she?" Aria called over.

"Obviously," Kaelen replied without shame. "If I'm going to be here, I'm going to establish proper research facilities."

Administrator Koreth returned with several higher-ranking officials, including one Elias recognized—a Master-level administrator he'd dealt with before.

"Elias Vance," the Master said, his tone carrying resigned amusement. "I should have known this unusual situation would involve you somehow. You have a talent for doing things that shouldn't be possible."

"Administrator Vel'roth," Elias nodded respectfully. "I simply applied optimal solutions to logistical challenges."

"You brought three people and a pet through dimensional barriers that are supposed to be absolute." Vel'roth shook his head. "Lets you register them." He pulled out multiple crystal tablets. "Names and cultivation levels, please."

"Kaelen Vance, 100% Reality Law, 0% Infinity Law. New arrival."

"Aria Vance, 100% Reality Law, 0% Infinity Law. New arrival."

"And you, Celestial Epicure? Though I suppose I already have your records."

"Sarah Vance," she said, her voice carrying a note of significance. "Also known as Celestial Epicure Amadeus. Sovereign level, 91% Infinity Law, Stage 4 Dimensional Infinity."

The plaza went silent. Every cultivator within earshot stopped and stared.

"Did she say Vance?" someone whispered.

"Same surname as Elias Vance..."

"What's their relationship?"

Vel'roth looked between Sarah and Elias, clearly doing social calculations. "Should I register you as family group or separate individuals?"

"Family group," Kaelen said firmly, before anyone else could speak. "All four of us, plus Lumie."

"The crystalline pet needs registration too?" Vel'roth sounded pained.

Lumie chirped indignantly and hopped onto Aria's shoulder, making her position clear.

"She's been with us for over a century," Kaelen explained. "She's cultivated to Reality Spirit Beast level—roughly equivalent to the Reality Stage. She's family."

"A Spirit Beast that cultivated alongside you..." Vel'roth made another note. "At this point I'm not even surprised. Fine. Family registration for Vance family unit: Elias, Kaelen, Aria, Sarah, and... what's the creature's full name?"

"Lumie," Aria supplied. "Just Lumie. She chose not to have a surname."

"The spirit beast chose—never mind. I don't want to know." Vel'roth finished his documentation. "Your family status is registered. Elias Vance, you have an existing residence in the Adept district. Will that accommodate your entire family?"

"No. We will be staying with Celestial Epicure Amadeus from now on ."

"Good. Then welcome to the Infinity Realm, Vance family." Vel'roth handed Elias a crystal key. "Your residence coordinates are updated. These crystals provide basic information for your family members about the realm. Read them. Follow the laws. And please, try not to do anything else unprecedented for at least a month. The paperwork you've created today will take me weeks to process."

"We'll try to restrain ourselves," Elias said, accepting the crystals and distributing them to his family.

As they turned to leave, Vel'roth called after them: "Oh, and Elias? The Sovereign Council wants to speak with you. Something about a new realm opening up. They are scheduling a meeting within a week."

Elias nodded acknowledgment, and they walked through the plaza toward the transport arrays.

Whispers followed them:

"That's the family that ascended together?"

"Wait, is that woman his wife or his sister or—"

"I think Celestial Epicure is his second wife?"

"Powerful cultivators and their harems..."

"Shh, they'll hear you!"

Kaelen leaned close to Elias. "We're going to be gossip material, aren't we?"

"Unavoidable. We've already violated several supposed impossibilities just by arriving."

Sarah walked on his other side, Aria between them with Lumie perched on her shoulder. They looked like a perfectly normal family—if you ignored the fact that one was a Master, one was a Sovereign, and two were fresh arrivals who'd somehow bypassed standard ascension limitations.

"I like this realm already," Aria declared, watching the impossible architecture shift around them. "Everything here is a puzzle waiting to be solved."

"That's one way to look at it," Sarah said with amusement.

They reached the transport array, and Elias input coordinates for his mansion. The array glowed with activation energy, preparing to fold space and deliver them across the city.

"Ready for your new home?" he asked his family.

"Ready," Kaelen confirmed, taking his hand.

"Beyond ready," Aria added, clutching Lumie.

"Already home," Sarah said softly.

The array activated, space folded, and the Vance family disappeared from the arrival plaza, leaving behind a crowd of stunned cultivators and several administrators with unprecedented paperwork.

In the Sovereign district, in a mansion that existed across multiple dimensions, the family materialized together.

Kaelen gasped. "Sarah, you said the mansion was 'adequate.' This is a palace!"

"It's optimally designed for cultivation," she protested.

"It has THREE dedicated cultivation chambers, a private dimensional garden, and Elias personally installed Sovereign-grade arrays in every wall!"

"Its optimally efficient."

She turned to Sarah. "Is he always this modest about his achievements?"

"Always," Sarah confirmed. "On Earth, he won six Nobel Prizes and called them 'acceptable acknowledgments of standard research quality.'"

"I like her," Kaelen said to Elias. "She understands you."

Aria had already run off to explore, Lumie bounding ahead with cheerful chirps. Their voices echoed through the vast mansion: "Father! This room has a temporal acceleration array! And this one exists in seven dimensions! And—OH! There's a kitchen bigger than our entire house in the multiverse!"

"She's excited," Elias observed unnecessarily.

"She's a teenager who just ascended to the literal realm of infinity," Kaelen said. "Let her explore." She turned to take in the full scope of their new home. "We really live here now. All of us."

"All of us," Sarah agreed. "If you'll have me."

"We already had this conversation," Kaelen reminded her. "You're family. That's settled. Now let's figure out which cultivation chambers we want and start planning our advancement strategies."

"Already thinking about optimization?" Elias asked.

"I learned from the best," Kaelen replied with a smile.

They walked deeper into the mansion together, following the sound of Aria's excited discoveries and Lumie's commentary chirps.

The Vance family had arrived in the Infinity Realm.

And the realm would never be quite the same.

Later That Evening

The family gathered in the main dining area—a space that existed in comfortable overlap with a garden dimension, so they could eat while watching impossible flowers bloom under three moons.

Sarah had cooked, naturally. The meal was perfect—dishes that tasted like home, even though "home" meant different things to each of them.

"This is incredible," Kaelen said, savoring a bite. "What Law techniques are you using?"

"Dao of Cooking combined with Dimensional Infinity," Sarah explained. "The food exists across multiple taste-states simultaneously, customized to each person's memories and preferences."

"Fascinating. Could you teach me the theoretical framework?"

"Of course. We can start tomorrow."

Aria was feeding Lumie small pieces of crystallized essence. The spirit beast chirped happily, her surface glowing with contentment.

Elias watched his family—his wife from this life, his daughter who amazed him daily, his friend from his past life who'd become part of his present, and even their pet who'd been retroactively important all along—and felt something he didn't often feel.

Complete contentment.

"What are you thinking?" Kaelen asked, noticing his expression.

"That the probability of this specific configuration of people existing together was infinitesimally small," Elias replied. "Death, reincarnation, eighty-five thousand years of separation, dimensional barriers, quantum consciousness upload—every variable should have prevented this. And yet here we all are."

"This is really happening," she said. "We're really living in the Infinity Realm now. All of us together."

"Yes," Elias confirmed. "Are you having second thoughts?"

"No. Never." She took his hand. "I just keep thinking about how improbable this all is. The chances of Sarah finding you, of us accepting the situation so easily, of everything working out—it should have been impossible."

"Many things about our existence should have been impossible," Elias pointed out. "I shouldn't have successfully uploaded my consciousness. You shouldn't have developed perfect Reality Law comprehension in only a century. Aria shouldn't be approaching our level already. Impossibility seems to be our specialty."

"True enough." Kaelen laughed softly. "I suppose we should stop being surprised when impossible things happen to us."

"Statistically, we're significant outliers in any probability distribution."

"That's the most romantic thing you've ever said to me."

"Was that romantic? I was simply stating statistical fact."

"I know. That's what makes it romantic." She kissed him gently. "Come on. Let's sleep. Tomorrow, we start building our life here. All of us."

They settled in, and Elias found himself reflecting on the day's events. Family ascension. Bureaucratic confusion. Sarah's name change. Their new home in the Sovereign district. The beginning of something new and impossible.

His last thought before sleep was simple:

Optimization successful. All variables aligned. Family stable. Future uncertain but promising. Probability of happiness: approaching one hundred percent.

For someone who thought in equations and efficiency calculations, it was the most optimistic thought he'd had in years.

Tomorrow, the Vance family would begin their conquest of the Infinity Realm.

But tonight, they simply rested together under infinite number impossible moons, in a mansion that shouldn't exist, in a realm beyond reality itself.

And that was enough.

That was everything.
