95 Let's Put on a Show

After learning that they would be given a chance to take part in the ranking system developed by the Dragon Empire every 4 months they each went towards their own guest rooms.

They would not give the other powers a chance to have an advantage over them in showing off their fractions power and usefulness towards this Emperor that will without a doubt rule this realm. Each of them contacted their forces outside to send in youths with the utmost potential, even if that youth was in a lower realm of power to bring them along.

The rules of the ranking tournament would play out in their favor if they did this, were everyone would fight an exact copy of themselves within the same realm of power.

The Snow Wind fraction was the fastest in setting up and gathering their youths, as if expecting this outcome. The other powers were sure Elder Elwin got word from Empress Teressa, they were completely right in thinking so as she had Tia with her as she explained this event to him. On the other hand those from the South were in a special position as they were already considered part of the Dragon Empire at this point, yet they were still allowed to compete for a higher standing in the power structure of the Empire at this moment to show off their strong points.

Many were surprised to hear that the Demon Fox Clan, LionHeart Clan and Lynx Clan as well as several others were prohibited from sending in any female fighters to represent them unless they were not apart of the royal family.

They were shocked to see almost no females among the males that entered and even then the southsent over less than 100 people to represent them. Each power in the ranking tournament sent in 1 thousand fighters, each 100 in a different realm of power this was to show that they could produce experts at all realms as well as show their ability to nurture them into the next.

Snow Wind, Blue Stone Guards and Setting Sun had long grown numb to becoming shocked at how the Dragon Empire did things. This tournament would showcase the various Major Powers ability to nurture experts from the mortal realm all the way up to the Realm of Pathless God!

What insanity was this, they then began to work together as they wanted to at least be able to compete with the current powers already established in the Empire. When they noticed they lacked participants for the lower cultivation realms they asked Tia if she could bring their youths over.

Both Eldrin and Ryan could not bring this up as they were too ashamed to so they both turned to Elder Elwin who's thick skin would allow him to ask for such a thing. When they saw Tia alongside a group of youths bringing large amounts of materials with them, they knew they would get to witness something amazing.

Before their eyes they saw a group of youths, utilize their powers to assemble massive gates.

The leader of the youths aura filled the entire room with the laws of space, as he maintained his domain over the entire room his team went to work. Cutting metal, reshaping it and melting down materials for the Gates.

The Elders watched in awe at the speedy work the youths no older than 15 completed before their eyes. The youths wielded power no higher than the Heaven Realm, yet they worked their powers to there maximum potential. Showing off their training before these 'important' guest.

Each elder looked at Tia with a bit of fear and respect, who would bring out such talents just to show the might of their training methods but those from the Dragon Empire.

Tia then turned to the group of emissaries.

"Dashnell has handed full control over most things to us his wives, some wield more power than others but that is just how things work here. If they want to improve their influence they would have to impress him and show him that they can handle power.

Each of these gates is a gift from me to you, place your hand on it and pour your power into the gate. Once that is done you will be able to activate it, after that is done it will link this gate to the other in the location you desire.

I know that you all are in a rush so I am here to transfer the other gate in the locations you pick out, these gates will link our Thousand Empress Palace to the place of your choice so choose wisely."

Tia said all this to judge the power each of these elders possessed in their respective fractions. Each of the fractions did not let her down as each linked their main headquarters to the Thousand Empress Palace. Every Elder stood next to her before focusing their minds on the destination before the two vanished and reappeared by walking through their respective Gate in the room.

This happened three times and each Elder left behind their aids behind to inform the others of the current situation.

With this Dashnell would gain full control of the most powerful forces in the regions and this was just those currently in charge of their region. The hidden powers as well as ancient experts would soon take notice of things if they are not already well informed of the current matters going on.

The Elders said a few words each to Tia before departing leaving through the Gate to take charge of things.

Tia then watched as they walked into the Gates to organize a team of one thousand to represent them in the tournament that is only a few weeks away.

Elder Elwin turned back before he left. "Don't start without this old man I will go an rearrange things on my end, the Snow Wind Fraction will gather the best one thousand brides Dashnell has ever laid his eyes on!" Before anyone could respond Elwin hurried into the Gate and vanished from sight.

The others knew Dashnell was lustful and in 2-3 weeks they were sure they could gather one thousand powerful and influential daughters from their fraction to marry into the royal family.

With Elwin's words fresh in their mind Elder Ryan and Eldrin both vanished from their respective Gates as well leaving Malire and her aids alone with Tia.

"That Elwin sure knows how to make things work in his favor, he even got the other two powers to think about sending in females to impress Dashnell." Malire said as she looked at Tia.

Tia was happy with this outcome she has been one of the few along with Valara that has been deep inside Dashnells mind searching each of his memoires to better understand this husband of theirs. What she came to understand is that in every life he lived he would have trillions if not an uncountable number of wives and women in his bed, he was like a ravenous beast that could never be satisfied and only wanted more.

She then walked away as Malire had long since made a team of one thousand with the help of Elder Silver Moon and Elder Shadow, the two of them spent years unifying the south under their two Clans. The final result was the Demon Fox Clan, LionHeart Clan and Lynx Clans becoming the voices of the new Beast Union in the South.

They quickly set up the teleportation Gates sent to them by Malire and Tia, unifying every power under their rule and ultimately under the Dragon Empires rule.

...

Time quickly passed by and there was only a few days before the tournament was held.

Elder Elwin had yet to show up but everyone including the various powers in the Dragon Empire knew this old man was extremely crafty and was probably going to make a grand entrance in the days to come.

As for the Blue Stone Guards they had one thousand experts mixed amongst the crowd doing their best to get acquainted with as many of the current powers as possible. Six hundred of them being female the rest were males both with powerful backgrounds and support from their families that remained loyal to Elder Eldrin.

Last of the group was Elder Ryan from Setting Sun whose group of one thousand shocked almost everyone. Two hundred of them were adult males that made up the entire upper echelon of power in Setting Sun. While the eight hundred females they brought were no older than 5-13 years of age, Tia was the only one smiling at this as for everyone else most did not know Dashnell would still take them as his wives.

These Elders were not informed by the current powers about the dangers of throwing just any female into Dashnells bed, they wanted to see if the Major Powers would send in women that would become their downfall.

Tia was surprised that those of the Setting Sun knew of Dashnells lust of young girls, she then called over Kate and Lura.

"Find out how much information was leaked and from where! There is no need to punish those who leaked information about Dashnells sexual desires but make sure to list down those who leaked important information. I want to know the methods the information was leaked as well. Do the two of you understand!" Tia said looking down at the two bowing women that were fully cloaked in black skin tight armor.

"We understand!" Both women said before vanishing from sight not alarming any of the many experts gathered here today in the meeting hall.

Tia then walked back to the center of the gathering to take on the duty of being the host of the meeting.

"Today we have called you here so that everyone can meet with their competition, although we hold these ranking battles every four months we are still a united Empire so I hope after the ranks are fixed this time around we can continue working together as allies! Once we have the entire Realm under our control Dashnell will gather those here as well as the hidden powers to announce his next steps." Hearing Tia's words a few of the Generals and large Clan heads felt their blood boil.

They had many daughters report that Dashnell informed them about their Realm being one of the weaker Realms in existence. That Dashnell is planning to have everyone submit under his rule no matter which Realm they are from, they even knew only those at the Void Realm could travel to different Realms.

Their daughters gave them this information each trying to grow their Clans influence in Empire, those unlucky Clans that sent in women that would become their doom could only regret their hasty decisions but lucky for them they did not sent just that one and sent in hundreds.

So although they held less power compared to the others who did not treat their daughters and females descendants as tools, they were still powerful enough to lord over a majority of other Clans and Sects.
