Book 6: Chapter 380: Last Legs (3)

Before Dyon left for his trials, the reason why he was so confident in himself was because of two reasons.

Firstly, he locked every gate to the essence gathering level, ensuring that even if there were problems, it would be on a controllable scale.

Secondly, he had the essence sons and daughters of the Uidah Emperor God Clan in his pocket.

The combination of these two things made Dyon certain of a 20 year time period. Unfortunately, there were some things that even Dyon couldn’t account for…

13 years ago, Dyon cleared the first God trial in a staggering one year and six months, shattering the previous record by almost ten years. 7 days after that, he cleared the second trial for the first time in its history. This was no longer a record of just this generation, but of all generations to take part in the tower!

Normally, this information wouldn’t get back to this universe, that was why Dyon wasn’t worried about making a splash even with the Celestial Deer Quadrant name attached to him. Unfortunately, what Dyon didn’t know was that a Legatee of the Ragnor Clan and a Legatee of the Uidah Clan were both in the tower under the names of their two respective sects!

It was impossible for Dyon to know this. In Dyon’s estimation, travelling to another universe, let alone quadrant, would take an astronomical amount of time…

The thing was that… it had taken an astronomical amount of time! The saga of the Dukes and Duchesses that attacked their quadrant occurred hundreds of years ago!

At that time, Loki was still an essence gatherer, while his fiancée, Hela, had just entered the saint realm!

As a direct result of this attack from Dukes and Duchesses that Dyon assumed had to be from the 30^th quadrant, Saru’s quadrant, the Ragnor, Uidah, and Pakal Clans became absolutely certain that there was a stronger world out there.

Because of hints the Dukes and Duchesses dropped about a ‘tower’, Hela and the First Saint Son of the Uidah, who had been the Fifth Saint Son at the time, were sent on dangerous missions.

As for the Pakal, they sent no one. No one knew why, but this was a story for another time.

Knowing this, who would have been more shocked than Hela and First Saint Son at Dyon rising through the ranks? Some unknown boy from their quadrant had found something they had spent centuries trying to find?

It had taken Hela and First Saint Son more than 600 years to finally make it to the Kitsune-Shruti Quadrant. Yet, it almost felt like this time was all but wasted!

Luckily for them, they were still under the 1000-year age limit at the time, and quickly took Duke trials after finding out they were in a race against time. It wasn’t until just recently that the two of them managed to climb to the celestial floors and relax due to gaining 4000 more years to spare.

Unluckily, they were the bombarded with information about this “Dyon Sacharro”.

Neither trusted the other. Hela tried to probe First Saint Son about Dyon’s identity, while he tried to do the same to her, but neither would budge.

At that point, none of them knew whether Dyon was from the Uidah or Ragnor or Pakal clans. In their minds, he couldn’t have been from anywhere else…

In truth, they suspected the Pakal Clan because they were the only clan that hadn’t sent anyone to the tower, however, it was impossible to be sure.

Without being able to understand the situation, they could only send the information back to their clans. The problem was that without access to the Gates, the Sapientia Network hadn’t made it to their quadrant. This delayed the messages for more than a decade due to their slow methods!

In the end, just two years ago, the Uidah King God Clan and the Ragnor Emperor God Clan were fully agitated learning of this heaven defying genius that had suddenly appeared. This was especially so for the Uidah Clan.

After hundreds of years of being only a single universe away from the ranks of the Emperor God Clan, the thought of another Clan in their quadrant gaining such a heaven defying genius made them tremble in fear.

Suddenly, the pressure they applied across the gates leading to Dyon’s home universe multiplied many times over. They no longer cared about quality, they just had to become stronger!

Normally, this wouldn’t matter because Dyon had the Essence sons and daughters under his command. But, after 14 years of being cultivated by Dyon, how could they still be in the essence gathering realm? They had long since become saint sons and daughters!

Of course, Dyon had taken this into account. He expected them to become saints, but he thought that in the time that they no longer lorded over the essence gatherers, the Belmonts would be able to hold on until he came back, thus the 20-year estimate.

But, Dyon never accounted for the messages of Hela and the First Saint Son! The pressure the Uidah now applied increased many times over as they took an all or nothing approach.

However, when they noticed the staunch opposition of the Belmonts and their allies, especially the rising star that was Dyon’s God Son and Zabia’s first born, Sarid Jafari, they knew that normal means wouldn’t work anymore.

Using their previous established connection with the Aumen Royal Prince, Tau Aumen, they used his younger brother, Ur Aumen, to broker a deal in their gate, funneling their high-level essence gatherers into the universe.

The result was devastating. Numerous first and second grade essence gatherers became a solid backbone of the Aumen-Mino alliance.

At the same time, the Belmonts were forced to split their attention, dealing with an attack from home and the gates at the same time….

Even as Dyon’s chaotic tune overwhelmed the planet in a vicious melody, what was left of Dyon’s home was on its last legs.
