Book 9: Chapter 93: Too Soon (1)
Amphorae had given King Star ample warning. The Sacharro Clan’s position was clear.
In the martial world, when it came to matters of Faith, the importance of a Clan’s image couldn’t be understated. Though Dyon had raised the prestige if the Sacharro Clan many times in the past, in the eyes of the Heavens, the Sacharro Clan didn’t exist. It wasn’t until Dyon conquered his first universe in the truest sense that the Sacharro Clan was finally acknowledged.
The Faith of a Clan wasn’t just decided by how strong the universes it had under its wing were. Though it could be considered a shortcut, it wasn’t self-sustaining. If a weak Clan, by fluke, took control of a powerful Clan’s land, within just a couple generations, this strong universe would fall from its previous grace.
This is exactly what happened to Soul Universe. Though it had once been mighty, it had fallen greatly. To now, its suppression was still quite large in comparison to some other universes, but it was tiny in comparison to what it once was.
Amphorae’s role wasn’t simply to find out what the Star Clan was planning. This was the first time where the martial world’s view of the Sacharro Clan truly mattered… The trajectory set now would put that Sacharro Clan on a rise toward prosperity.
With that acceptance of the Sacharro Clan, the remainder of the Heads made their opinions known. Some refused, some accepted, but many more took a wait and see approach. If they could benefit from the Sprite Alliance, why not? But if it was dangerous, they would pull out.
Finally, the first round of parliament meetings came to a close with King Star divulging some more information surrounding the Ancient Battlefield. But, these were things the Sacharro Clan had long been aware of. After all, their Clan Head could access the battlefield whenever he so chose.
King Star emphasized the importance of bodily strength, he mentioned that wills were more difficult wield in the ancient battlefield, and he finally spoke of various suppressions one might face similar to what one might experience entering a territory that wasn’t their own. Finally, he informed them all that their various geniuses could make their way here to enter their training program in just a few months.
Like this, the meeting ended.
“The Star Clan will not force you to travel for so long twice.” King Star said amiably. “You may all feel free to stay and sightsee, or you can return to your Clans via our Epistemic Tower teleportation arrays. The choice is yours. Aside from our Holy Lands, everywhere within our Star Clan’s territory is open to you all.”
Amphorae wanted to leave directly, worried about how the war might be fairing without her and Luna there, but she knew it would be rude to do so.
She had been very arrogant these past few weeks in order to fight for a strong position among the Clans here, especially since regardless of Dyon’s status, their quadrants were technically ranked 58th and 99th respectively. Because of this, her actions were necessary so she wasn’t forced to reveal more about the Sacharro Clans power than necessary.
However, a constantly hard approach was ill-advised. The Clan that had likely accumulated the most Faith in their tower quadrants were the Sapientia, but they were well known as neutral pacifists. So, Amphorae, despite her not liking it very much, stayed and exchanged a few pleasantries, mostly relying on Little Lyla to fill in her lack of social skills.
True God Diasho looked upon Amphorae with fiery eyes, hardly able to control himself. Anyone with half a thought could see the vulgar expression hidden within his eyes. It could only be said that he was very lucky Dyon wasn’t present.
“Mistress Sacharro who represents the younger generation of the Sacharro Clan? To be honest, we are very curious about your Clan’s depth of power.”
The one who spoke was a female elder of the Elemental Qilin Clan, Grand Elder Nativus. Maybe only qilins and dragons would ask such a sensitive question outright without hiding traps within their words.
Currently, many powerful figures in the surroundings, amiably chatting.
“My husband isn’t the only genius of our Sacharro Clan, though he does happen to be the best…” Amphorae replied lightly.
Luna had seemingly vanished, but Lyla was by her side, linking her arms with her elder sister with an adorable smile on her face. Though she was the least qualified to stand here, it was undeniable that her presence made others feel comfortable.
“Is that so? I’ve always speculated that the Sacharro Clan was quite small. How many will you be bringing?”
“Not many.” Amphorae replied frankly. “Honestly speaking, the Star Clan has little to offer us. We will make an appearance in solidarity of their efforts, but not much more. That said, when the Sprite Alliance becomes involved, it won’t be difficult for us to provide a few hundred…”
The pupils of the elders constricted into pin holes. It was already decided that the lowest threshold for acceptance by the Sprite Alliance was to enter the Dao Realm at the First Order. Did the Sacharro Clan really have such depth?
This wasn’t the most poignant point. The age threshold for the Ancient Battlefield was 1000 years old. If it was just a few hundred First Order Dao experts, it would be surprising, but not obscenely so. There were a few Clans here who could match such an ask. But, if the criteria was being 890 years old or younger…
The Clan Heads looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
