Book 10: Chapter 25: Changes (1)
[Author’s Note: Just realized that I said Dyon’s purity flames had a piercing cold characteristic last upload. That’s not true. I got it confused with something else, lmao. Anyhoo, back to our regularly scheduled program].
The moment Dyon’s question landed, the sound of someone clearing their throat could be heard. Dyon didn’t need to look over to know that the person in question was Emperor Star, but this reality on made his eyes narrow.
When he looked toward Clara, she looked away and pursed her lips as though she hadn’t seen him.
When he tried to meet Amphorae’s gaze, she too looked away, but it was far more comical than Clara’s method. It was clear that Amphorae wasn’t very used to such things. Being deceitful and sneaky wasn’t her way of life at all.
Unfortunately, these matters only made Dyon’s frown deepen.
The first person whose gaze he was finally able to meet was Madeleine, but she could only give him a helpless smile as though telling him ignorance was bliss.
“I don’t want to interfere in the matters of youngsters…” Emperor Star said slowly. “… But you must remember that you’re no normal youths any longer. The Fate of our Mortal Plane rest on your shoulders, you can’t be as willful as you’ve been in the past.”
It wasn’t just Emperor Star who appeared in the air, but the various elders of the Federation did as well, including Dyon’s true body and Alauna.
“Daddy, that guy’s face is annoying.” She wrinkled her nose as she looked toward True God Diasho.
Dyon, who was in the middle of slowly stewing in anger couldn’t help but smile. The atmosphere had just become incredibly tense and quiet, yet his daughter still dared to say this.
Over the past ten years, his wives had berated him for raising Alauna into being a carbon copy of him. She had even mastered the art of making people angry with an innocent face already. In his opinion, she was doing him proud no matter what those naysayers thought.
Of course, since this atmosphere was quite when she spoke, many gazes couldn’t help but land on the speaker.
Despite her youth, Alauna’s beauty dazzled those below to the point of speechlessness. How could there be such a perfect girl in the world? They couldn’t help but berate themselves, just how had they missed the entrance of such a fairy? It was only after further inspection that they realized that even their elders hadn’t sensed her presence, obviously, something shrouded and protected her.
Of course, that something was Dyon’s Immortal Sense. If before he had to be cautious, now he was absolutely certain that even without the Lightning Willow Mask, if he didn’t want someone to sense something, they would have no ability to do so!
Though there were many beauties among the Federation youths, none seemed to compare. In truth, it wasn’t a fair comparison to begin with. Alauna had a Heaven’s Child for a mother, and a father with a transcendent soul. Her beauty was no longer measured by the standards of mortals. Only Higher Existence women could hope to compare.
Still, after losing their minds for what seemed like several moments, many snapped out of it after registering her words. A woman that could call a man who had a Dragon as a partner ‘daddy’… Wasn’t a woman they could ever dream of having.
Emperor Star frowned at these words, but there was nothing he could say. He could clearly see that Alauna was at most 14 years old. And though he saw her floating in the air, any essence gatherer could do that, so he didn’t think much of it. Even if she was a Saint, it would only be impressive and nothing more.
In the end, the issue was the man she called father. In fact, didn’t this mean that both her parents were Higher Existences? This child could do whatever she wanted… If she decided to not take a liking to Diasho Ren… He really would suffer…
Judging by the ugly expression on Diasho Ren’s face, it was clear that he too understood this.
Clara couldn’t hold it back any longer and burst into another fit of laughter.
Alauna’s gaze brightened when she saw Clara and Amphorae. She didn’t hesitate to come down from the skies and happily embrace them both.
Dyon’s clone, however, hadn’t stopped glaring at Diasho Ren.
“I won’t ask… But I hope the Diasho Clan isn’t provoking me again.”
Hearing these words, Diasho Ren wanted to explode, but he was immediately cut off by Emperor Star.
“Your magnanimity is commendable.” Emperor Star spoke with an unquestionable tone.
“Thanks to you all, the first mission of our Federation was a resounding success and the whole of the 100th quadrant has been conquered.
“As decided during our Parliament Meeting, the 100th quadrant will become the neutral grounds of our Federation. Based on the performance of the various Clans, each of the various planets, galaxies and universes will be allocated based on performance during this mission.
“The Sacharro Clan, in first place, will hold the maximum allowed voting power at 4 Parliament Seats. My Star Clan and the Blade Clans will be given 3 and 2 respectively as rewards for second and third place. The rest will be given 1 parliament seat and thus 1 vote.
“Due to their performance, the Sacharro Clan has first choice of universes and will be able to control the resources of 10 of them. The remaining 90 universes will be separated as previously discussed.
“Finally, there is the matter of the Sprite Alliance. The top 100 of you in individual accomplishments will be allowed a spot. These 100 will be allowed to bring vassals along with them, but these vassals will not partake in the vast majority of the provided resources.”
Emperor Star smiled. “Take these next ten years to prepare yourself. Take on more missions, try to gain more points and break into the top 100. Grasp your own opportunities in your hands.”
