Book 10: Chapter 29: Changes (5)
Though Dyon was disappointed the two hadn’t regained their memories, their abrupt change in the manner they called to him lit a hope in his heart. This time, he wouldn’t give up on them.Just as the women were happily chatting away with one another and Dyon was looking on with a smile on his face, he suddenly felt a keen danger.A sharp aura streaked toward the skies, aiming for his back with a deadly intent.Dyon spun, his palm striking outward on reflex.BOOM!Dyon took several heavy steps backward. If it wasn’t for Meiying’s ingenious design, this road to Soul Palace would have been devastated beyond repair.Surprisingly, though, Dyon wasn’t enraged by this attack. In fact, he smiled brightly.“You’ve gotten stronger.” He said with a grin.Before him, a man who was a near carbon copy of himself stood. There were only a few differences.While Dyon’s skin had a light caramel tone with a golden sheen, this young man’s skin was as white as snow. While Dyon’s hair was a golden-brown and barely a few inches long, this young man’s hair was, again, white as the clouds in the sky, stretching down to the small of his back. While Dyon’s nose was more rounded, while this young man’s nose was sharper and almost elegant.Still, if one looked at the two of them, you could only conclude that they were brothers.“And you haven’t improved at all.” Junior said with a grin.“What can I say? I was spending quality time with my daughter. You’d better keep improving, or else she’ll beat you one day.”If it was anyone else Dyon said would beat him, Junior might get angry. But when it came to Alauna, he had a soft spot.“I hope that day comes.” He said with a smile.In truth, in almost all aspects, Junior was only marginally weaker than Dyon. And, the only reason this was, was because Dyon had entered the 2nd Dao Stage, while Junior was still at the 1st Dao stage. This gap would be hard to bridge.Unfortunately, it was only almost all aspects.When Junior was born, Dyon thought that he would gain his own overwhelming soul talent. But over the years, Dyon realized that though Junior did have good soul talent, it was incomparable to his own.After 12 years, Junior had only barely managed to enter the celestial soul realm. In fact, he was slower than Alauna who had already comprehended Comet Qi.In addition, after reaching that realm, though Junior and Dyon were more connected, and even shared each other’s memories and experiences, they still felt like two separate people. This situation was yet another that confused Dyon.He had thought that after that point, Junior and himself would basically become two sides of the same coin, but this didn’t end up being the case.Luckily, Dyon still greatly benefitted from this relationship. Thanks to Junior, his death comprehension had entered the Dao Realm. In addition, despite having a vastly weaker soul than Dyon, Junior still had Dyon’s energy talent.Also, one had to remember that the top 3 defensive constitutions were Titan Diamond Body, the Silver Mirror constitution, and, finally, Junior’s own Death God Body!Plus, as a result of absorbing Orcus’ skeleton, Junior’s progression within his constitution was actually further along than Dyon’s own.In the end, though Junior was still weaker than Dyon overall, it wasn’t by a large margin, Dyon would still have to take him seriously.“So….? Where’s my present?” Junior asked with a grin.Dyon’s features darkened as he threw out a kick. “Get out of here. Stop ruining my relaxing day.”Junior laughed, dodging the kick and going over to shamelessly flirt with Mia and Bella.“My two beautiful fairies, did you miss husband?”Mia, the elder sister, blushed profusely.“Who’s your wife!” Bella snapped, pelting Junior with her small fists.Junior laughed shamelessly. “Don’t be like that! Husband has something good for you, it can’t be that you’ll reject him, right?”“No one wants anything from you!” Bella responded. Last time Junior said this, she fell for it. Then this shameless guy actually showed her and her sister a dual cultivation technique!Seeing this scene, Dyon felt black lines growing on his forehead. This Junior was really too willful!“What exactly are you scolding him in your mind for?” Clara asked with disdain.Madeleine and Ri burst into a fit of giggles. Even Amphorae seemed to be trying her hardest not to laugh as well. Dyon couldn’t believe that even his Amphorae was betraying him like this. Those years with Clara corrupted his angel!Almost at the worst possible time, Delia, Eli and their son Aiden came over.“Clara’s right, big brother.” Delia said with a sly grin. “Do you still remember the first words you ever said to me?”Dyon suddenly had a bad premonition. The first time he met Delia, he was naked after putting his clothes away to avoid them getting wet as he scaled Focus Academy. When he saw that she saw him naked, he had said…“’Am I adequate?’ I believe those words were.” After hearing this, even his own daughter started laughing at him. Dyon was speechless… he suddenly felt that these people forgot that he was the ruler of 299 universes!
