Book 9: Chapter 3: 110 (3)

The meeting with the Heaven’s Children ended far easier than Dyon expected. He had no one else to thank but Luna. Though she had been betrayed, she had cultivated many loyalists as well.At the moment, Dyon was watching over the sleeping Alauna with a smile on his face. This was the one thing he had never been able to witness before since Luna always took Alauna away when it was time for her to sleep. Such little things filled him with joy.After a few hours, Dyon finally decided that he couldn’t waste time away fawning over his daughter. If he wanted Alauna to live carefreely, he had to put in the appropriate amount of work.“Tell me about your Unblemished Lands.” Dyon sent a gaze toward Luna, sighing inwardly. He wanted to take her into his arms, but there were some things that were more complicated when you boneheadedly decided on more than one wife like he had. He could only maintain a healthy distance for now.Luna didn’t seem to mind. If anything, she was quite content. This was already more than she expected.“The Sprite Alliance is on the verge of controlling 100 quadrants. You might know by now, but that was the purpose of the Star Clan branch family they sent to your tower quadrants. They were making plans to become a Planet Grade Alliance in preparation for the Ancient Battlefield’s descent.“I control 18 quadrants.”Dyon’s brows shot upward. He had never expected Luna to control so much strength. If he was a normal man, he might feel embarrassed by the fact he couldn’t match even a fraction of that.“I’ve been masquerading as a Sprite for a very long time now, so I am considered to be one of the ruling Higher Existences of our Sprite Alliance. Still, I’m seen as an outsider because I rarely take part in their plans. It’s bred some resentment over the years because they believe if they had my help, they would be stronger amongst of the five outer powers.”Dyon nodded. If he remembered correctly, only the Transcendent Beast Alliance and the Devil Quadrants were weaker. The Sapientia and the Nephilim should be the strongest. The Sprites likely felt that with their talent, they should be number one.“This dissatisfaction reached a fever pitch recently. One of the four other Sprite Ruling Clans birthed a second Higher Existence. Because of this, it tipped the balance in their favor, allowing them to dominate the other three.“Even though I, as the fifth, remained neutral, they insisted on bringing me into the fold. Matters became even worse once an oracle predicted the appearance of the Timeless Library was quickly approaching.“They believed that the Timeless Library was the chance they needed to start leveling the playing field with the Sapientia and the Nephilim. But, I refused once more. That is what led to these events.”Dyon took a deep breath and closed his eyes. To think the Sprite Alliance had five Higher Existences, six if Luna was counted, yet they weren’t the strongest of the outer powers. Of Luna’s words, this was what impacted him the most.Still, he quickly collected himself. These were matters he had known long ago, but there was something about seeing the reality before him now that shook him. Maybe the scariest part wasn’t that he was shaking from fear… He was shaking from excitement.There was a keen confidence coursing through his veins. He felt like the higher the wall was, the more exciting the climb became.“Is there something you’d like me to do?” Luna asked after Dyon remained silent.In the end, Dyon shook his head.“No. But, I don’t think it’s safe for you to remain here, I’d like you to leave a projection here and follow me to my Mortal Alliance, can you do that?”Luna nodded without hesitation. “I can form a projection, yes. But is it really so unsafe here?”“It’s not the Sprite Alliance that worries me… It’s the ones behind the Timeless Library. Those people are definitely aware that you all are Heaven’s Children and that you’re all here. I’m not sure how, but of this much, I’m certain.”Hearing this, Luna agreed. She had a deep trust in Dyon.Dyon felt the safest place for the Heaven’s Children was his inner world. Though he wanted to make use of them, he knew he had to be cautious. If they could find them once… They could do so again.“If it’s through you, I think I could enter and exit the Ancient Battlefield if what you say is true about it being your constitution’s world.”That was when Luna said something Dyon would have never expected. If this was true, it could change everything.“That’s not all. As long as I’m prepared to hide our presences, no one would be able to find us. You don’t need to worry. You can trust me.”Dyon looked into Luna’s opal eyes. They were brimming with an energy… It wasn’t pride, but rather… It was hope, hope that Dyon would choose to believe in her.Contrary to her expectations, there was no hesitancy in Dyon’s nod. He directly agreed to trust her.Luna – Absolute Energy Control. There wasn’t an energy in existence she couldn’t control… Even if that energy was from the portal that connected Dyon to his constitution world. Dyon had suddenly gained the ability to move people in an out of the Ancient Battlefield.Dyon had made massive gains during this trip. Not only had he gained the Heaven’s Children, he had found his daughter, a precious little girl who was priceless.  Now, all that remained was to sweep through the 99 universes, the Uidah, the Pakal, the Ragnor, and the Five Clan Beast Alliance.110 years remained.
