Chapter 1514 Beloved
?
In exchange for the materials the Daiyu needed to accomplish their plan, Jade forced them to exchange the yin soul kernel. Since Elder Daiyu and Loki believed the entity to be male, they didn't see any issue in the exchange. In reality, the entity didn't care about the yin or yang kernels. They were always meant to act as catalysts and nothing more. What it wanted the most was the potential of the universe itself, not the amalgamation of mortal talent.
This was what awoke Jade from her previous state of madness. The damage done to her soul by her Eostre Clan's Moon manifestation was reversed in an instant and she grasped onto her sanity once more.
It was after this happened that she enlisted Primrose's help to enter the Eostre Tombs to punish herself. After that, she remained there for over 30 years, while actually experiencing the equivalent of several hundred, maybe even thousand, due to the ice will.
Then, almost three years ago now, Dyon took her out. From then, to now, Jade has been in a coma, coping with the trauma she underwent thanks to the ice will stretching her perception of time. To say that she had been through a lot was an understatement. But, what enraged Rose even more was that even after all of that, her Master still found it necessary to sacrifice her life once more. Dyon wouldn't understand what Jade meant, but after her story, Rose understood everything.
In the first timeline of events, thanks to unifying the mortal plane, Dyon gained an extraordinary amount of faith. The only unfortunate part was that he didn't manage to interrupt the entity before it finished fusing with his home universe's potential.
However, Jade executed two actions she believed would change everything.
Firstly, she pushed forward Dyon's unsealing by several hundred years. One had to remember that it would have taken more than 800 years for Dyon's soul and energy paths to unseal. Had Jade not sacrificed her virginity and the Nine Cloud Yang aphrodisiac, he definitely would not have had the energy necessary to unseal so quickly.
This may seem simple enough, but it was massive for multiple reasons. First, it allowed Dyon the strength necessary to fend off Elder Void. In the original timeline, though Dyon and Ri survived, Ri's parents, as well as a massive portion of Earth's population perished. This left Dyon with less help and thus pushed the building of his empire even further back.
One couldn't underestimate the talents born of Earth. Remember, all talents of Dyon's universe were geniuses. What restricted them was the lack of energy, not aptitude.
Second, without that strength, Dyon wouldn't have been able to save Giralda, and thus would have never gained the support of the Agios Clan and Damaris. Not to mention the talented S Grade talent in Ryu.
Third, Dyon would have been a puppet to Elder Nova for an incredibly long time. By the time he grew powerful enough to come out from under his thumb, Dyon would have wasted even more time, in addition to losing what remained of Soul Rending Peak's Legacy to the 99 universes, this includes the Celestial Beasts.
There are so many more things to list, but really, there are only three more of the utmost importance.
The fourth matter was pertaining to instigating the war in the Celestial Deer Quadrant. Without appropriate strength, Dyon wouldn't have been able to go to Chaos Universe, and thus wouldn't have met the Beast Alliance geniuses, and thus wouldn't have been able to incite their anger. This would make conquering the quadrant take far longer.
The fifth was related to Dark Ocean. Because of Dyon's delay in garnering strength, it would be impossible for him to even think of setting sights on Dark Ocean. As a result, it would fall in the hands of the Mist Clan, thus further pushing his plans back.
But, the sixth and final point was the most important. Without this strength, how could Dyon possibly have performed so well during the Golden Flame Mystical World's opening? Not only would he have needed several more centuries to kill God Goldeen, he would have never gained Orcus' Legacy, or, most importantly, the Martial Saint Pills or the Sovereign Flame!
Just this first act by Jade had already given Dyon a massive boost. Maybe with its help, Dyon would be able to interrupt the entity before it succeeded. But, the second act was even more important…
Jade said very clearly what her second act would be. She would sacrifice herself and fuse into the fabric of reality to stabilize the mortal plane.
Dyon had no idea what this meant. And it would be several more epochs before he did. However, Rose understood very well.
What restricted transcendents from descending onto the mortal plane was the Will of the Heavens. However, with the mortal plane's lifespan approaching closer and closer to its end, this will was simultaneously growing weaker and weaker.
This may seem irrelevant, but wasn't there a transcendent here breaking those very rules now?
In the first timeline, Dyon's fight with the entity raged for several years. In fact, though Dyon wasn't anywhere near winning, he at least still stood a chance. However, in the end, the entity was able to break the restrictions set upon it by the Will of the Heavens and display a prowess that exceeded the bounds of the mortal plane. Once that occurred, Dyon's final ray of hope was shattered and he died without a corpse.
Jade's act of sacrificing herself to strengthen the mortal plane was the equivalent of giving Dyon a much-needed lifeline. The likelihood of the entity accomplishing this feat had now fallen drastically!
The tragedy was that maybe Dyon would never know all the things Jade had done for him. Or, maybe, he would be faintly aware of them, but never able to truly give them just appreciation. However, this was exactly what Jade wanted… She didn't want some grand redemption arc… She didn't believe that she deserved it…
All she wanted was to erase herself from the world in silence, a light smile playing her beautiful features because she knew she had helped her beloved man…
