Lilith's sword tore through the air, slashing through a sea of black flames with battle intent flickering in her red eyes.
The Nephilim.
This outer quadrant alliance was one that struck fear in the hearts of all, even the Sprites.
Endless Clans of war crazed Giants, all of whom had stronger bloodlines than the last and each of whom sought blood and carnage.
According to everyone, the Sprites should the be dominant race of this Modern Era. Well, more accurately, the dominant race of humanoids. However, while their talent exceeded that of Giants, it wasn't by much. In addition to the fact their birth rates were incredibly low, they were far less ancient that the Giants who had bloodlines stretching back to even the angels.
Much like the others, Jade described a list of strengths and weaknesses, as well as matters to look out for.
Dyon felt that his war with the Nephilim could only be won by expert sabotage. They were too fiery of a race and far too war loving. Turning them against themselves was by far the easiest route and also the route his future self took.
However, this alone wouldn't be enough… He needed strength… The Nephilim Alliance was already a 5th Planet Grade Empire! This meant that they controlled at least 500 quadrants!
Jade's explanation of this outer quadrant alliance was yet another bomb shell for Dyon. The Beast Protection Alliance was a seed sowed by them! Of the four outer quadrant centers of power he had thought of until now, three of them were actually already dipping their hands into the tower quadrants!
According to Jade, the Transcendent Beast Alliance looked down upon Heaven Grade beasts as much as anyone else did, but they felt that they needed to bolster up their forces if they wanted to compete with the other power centers and wanted to use Heaven and Earth grade beasts to do so. The reality was that they were even weaker than the Devil Quadrants, ranking dead last, so they wanted to change this.
In the previous timeline, Dyon never subjugated Nine or Thirteen, and his contact with BPA was scarce to the level of being nonexistent…
When Dyon wondered why that was when their plans were so large scale, Jade answered for him…
In 112 years, the Ancient Battlefield would descend. This would take a much longer time than anyone could have predicted, but no one knew that there was a reason this time was so very different. Finally… Dyon learned of exactly what the Ancient Battlefield was. And the answer… It was something that both made him shiver with fear and excitement.
He remembered his exact thoughts when he learned the truth: 'The Heavens like to play games…'
The descent of the Ancient Battlefield made it impossible for BPA to continue with their original plan. By the time those events came to an end, let alone bolster their forces and grow stronger, they were on the brink of collapse. The Transcendent Beast Alliance suffered the most during those times, almost entirely losing their right to be known as an outer quadrant power center.
Dyon knew what he needed to do. Within these 112 years, while everyone felt that the Ancient Battlefield was just around the corner and was entirely focused on it, he needed to conquer not just the 99 universes, but also his home quadrant. He had to.
If others could read Dyon's thoughts, they'd lock him up and put him in a mental asylum.
Asinine. Ridiculous. Foolish. There weren't enough foul words to describe it.
But, Dyon knew he had to do it.
When the Ancient Battlefield descended, those without Faith would be tossed to the wayside, expunged from the annals of history and wiped clean.
How had Dyon survived in his previous timeline? Bitterly.
He ran like a cornered mouse and hid with his friends and family until his pride was beaten down to near nonexistence.
Jade said it took him more than 500 years for his cultivation to unseal, but what she didn't mention was how much more time after that he wasted hiding and biding his time.
Because he was forced to hide during those years, his growth slowed to a snail's pace…
There was only one saving grace he had: and that was his Titan Constitution's World, but this saving grace turned into a bitter regret and grievance. The reason was because the truth of his Constitution's World wasn't opened to him until it was too late to make use of it.
In the previous timeline, Dyon never lost his mind to his Chaos Flames. As a result, he never went to speak to the Entity, nor did he ever play the piano for his fellow mortals and thus, never formed a Sovereign Dao Heart from their will. This meant that one of the Divine Chains on his Nascent Soul never shattered.
What did all of this mean? It meant that when Dyon finally took his Constitution Awakening Pill, he didn't shoot to the Bronze Silk Realm because his nascent soul couldn't force his constitution into obedience. As a result, the secret of his constitution's world was realized by him far too late and couldn't be used properly. The very secret that made old man Abraxus believe the immortal plane war to no longer be necessary…
The final power center Jade had information on was one that Dyon would never forget…
All this time he wanted to know exactly which Clan had been pulling the strings of the 99 Universes, but Jade simply directly told him who it was.
A mortal enemy with a knife held to Dyon's throat. Empire of over 300 quadrants. The only power center of the outer quadrants that was not an alliance, but a Clan unto itself….
The Sapientia.
Dyon gripped his fists. This time, it would be different. 112 years.
