Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

Chapter 1396 In Truth...

?

Her Bai Clan had always been small. However, much like small Clans that specialized in alchemy or weapon's forging, not many provoked them because of the usefulness of their abilities. After all, the Feng Shui compass will was practically extinct and only the Bai Clan had a sure method of passing it down their generations.

However, there were always exceptions to a rule. The martial world had always been ruled by strength so how could those used to raising their noses high in disdain lower their heads to a small clan?

Meiying didn't know all of the details, but what she did know was that some big shot of the Devil Alliance wanted to grow their influence more. So, they turned to their Bai Clan to force them to look for Devil Veins.

Devil Quadrants were both incredibly rare and incredibly volatile. For reasons explained previously, their lifespan was less than a thousandth of the lifespan of a normal universe. So, while Devil Quadrants still existed today, they definitely wouldn't for much longer.

As a result, the need for Devil Veins was two-fold. Firstly, they were needed to stabilize their universes. If the Devil Clans and Sects suddenly lost their homes, the reverberating effects would be devastating. Secondly, it was to grow more powerful. Devil Veins had the ability to produce Pure Devil Qi which was a step far above Normal Devil Qi.

Pure Devil Qi was a staple of Demonic Royals and was often referred to as Demonic Qi or Royal Qi. Usually, only with sufficient talent and methods could a devil path cultivator refine Devil Qi into Pure Devil Qi. However, Devil Veins bypassed this need for talent to some extent, opening a doorway to new possibilities.

Although Meiying's mother tried to explain that Devil Veins were extinct, those Clans and Sects refused to take no for an answer. This led to years of torment not only for the Bai family, but especially so for Meiying's mother.

Knowing what would happen to the Bai Clan when she inevitably failed, Meiying's mother sacrificed herself for the sake of their survival. It was no wonder Meiying's feelings were complicated.

On the one hand, Meiying hated the Devil Clans and Sects for pushing their family into a corner. On the other, she hated those self-righteous conventional path clans and sects that were the root of the problem to begin with. Both were equally responsible for why she, as a mere toddler, had to take the life of her own mother…

Meiying suddenly felt a large warm hand lightly fluff her hair. Almost simultaneously, Junior, who was still in her arms also tried to rub her hand. Madeleine couldn't help but giggle as she was the big and small Dyon execute the same action at the same time. Even Meiying and Delia's dulled moods couldn't help but brighten.

Delia wiped her tears, walking over to Little Aiden who was still looking at the defensive array below him as though it was the greatest treasure in the world.

"It's about time I feed Little Aiden, I'm sure you have a lot of things to do right?" Delia picked up Aiden, cradling her little boy like a loving mother. Now that Eli was gone, Aiden really was her whole world.

Speaking of feeding, Dyon was a little worried about feeding Junior. Until now, he and Madeleine had been creating syrup and porridge concoctions of nutritious pills and spiritual plants and fruits for him to eat, but neither of them had been parents before so it was impossible to tell if he was being properly cared for.

Dyon almost asked Delia if she could help with his nursing, but when he remembered that Junior was actually his clone, he almost slapped himself in the face. What was he thinking? Since when had he become so muddle headed?

Dyon silently saw the girls and two babies off before sinking into his own thoughts. He had planned on taking a break today, but these matters had lit a fire under him. Those bastards actually dared take Eli away from his child…

His jaw clenched. Junior needed to grow up fast. For now, Dyon was content to allow him to act like a normal child, but at the end of the day, Dyon knew that he would never be as easy on Junior as he would a child that was truly his son. Junior was his clone, as such, he shared the same burdens.

Dyon needed to quickly master planet qi, but even for him, this would take decades. This wasn't good enough, not by a long stretch. He refused to allow Aiden to grow up without a father. He refused to allow Eli to never feel the joy of raising his son.

A ring appeared in Dyon's hand. This ring was none other than the only supreme grade treasure the Celestial Deer Sect left behind, his Life Ring. He had given this ring to Eli long ago because it contained a perfect environment for Eli to test out his botany theories. Before he was taken away, Eli managed to leave this behind.

Dyon swept his senses over the ring. When he saw the product of Eli's hard work, his eyes couldn't help but water with rage.

His fist tightened around the ring. Just as he wanted to collect his emotions and begin the task of setting order to Soul Rend Universe, the dormant chain that rested around his neck vibrated, causing an image of Ri to appear.

"It's good that you're back, I need some help."

The truth was that there were no Sapientia Towers in Soul Rend Quadrant, so it would normally be impossible for Ri to reach him. But, Clara didn't like this flaw. While it was no good for the Sapientia to have any influence in Dyon's territory, it was equally as bad for Dyon to be unaware of the affairs of the outside world.

In solution, Clara created a one-way reception tower. This one-way tower only allowed information to come in, not allowing any to leave. As a result, the Sapientia were completely unaware of its existence while Dyon and his Empire could keep tabs on the happenings of the outside world.

There was only one exception to the one-way rule and that was the necklaces that hung from Dyon's and his wives' necks.
