Book 10: Chapter 28: Changes (4)
These numbers were great, but to Dyon, it was an incredibly sobering experience. If he gained this many benefits from just 200 universes, how many benefits did the Sprite Alliance gain since they controlled over 8000? What of the Sapientia and the Nephilim?
He couldn’t lower his guard at all. In fact, he had to press forward with even more fervor and ambition.
Since the Kong and Grand Templar Sect hadn’t been qualified to attend the Federation’s Parliament, Dyon’s conquering of them flew under the radar.
Dyon secretly used the Jafari Clan treasure to move their territory into his own. This way, he wouldn’t have to worry about others claiming their universes with their own points.
Still, to maintain the guise of playing nice, Dyon used his excess points to claim not only the 99 universes, but also the Grand Templar Sect territory which was adjacent to the 99 universes, and Kong Clan territory, which was adjacent to the Grand Templar Sect.
The end result was Dyon having 430 universes under his care. Of course, Dyon was arrogantly counting the 99 universes among this 430 number, but he had only actually conquered 299 of them. This was because Dyon had yet to find an appropriate universe to take as his 300th. He didn’t want a universe that could only provide mediocre benefits, or else it would adversely affect the foundation of his Empire.
In the end, Dyon turned his gaze toward Luna’s territory. The 18 quadrants she controlled were without a doubt the best choice. They would be able to provide the newborns of the Martial Alliance with deep elemental affinities, after all, it was Sprite territory.
However, Dyon knew he had to be careful. Any dip in Faith, even if it was only a single universe, would be immediately sensed by the Higher Existences of the Sprite Alliance. In addition, they would be able to tell it came from Luna’s territory as well.
If he acted brazenly, he wouldn’t only put himself in danger, but Luna as well. For now, he could only forget it. 299 universes was already enough for him to not be at a disadvantage in the tower quadrants. Instead, he felt like he should invest more time in solidifying what he already had.
In truth, with his current defenses, he didn’t believe any invasion of the Ancient Battlefield would have an easy time, especially considering Dyon had trump cards even within the battlefield itself. But, he had to be cautious… this wasn’t a game, there were no second chances.
Though Dyon had undergone vast improvements in just the last few years, he knew well that he was still unable to battle even the weakest Higher Existence, let alone a Higher Existence who chose to use Faith.
This wasn’t the time for him to become comfortable… Especially since his end goal wasn’t to battle a mere Higher Existence…

Dyon’s wives were all shocked by the changes that Mortal Alliance had undergone. Though each of them had spent time with Dyon over the last 12 years, they hadn’t travelled back to here.
Everything seemed too perfect.
Watching dozens of planets spinning in such close proximity to each other, shrouded by the light of stars and darkness of blackholes… it was a sight they hadn’t ever thought they’d be able to behold…
The cities themselves were even more spectacular. It was as though every one constructed had a capital city in mind. It was hard to believe that some of them were mere vassal and satellite cities.
“You worked little sister Meiying too hard.” Madeleine said with a slightly reproachful gaze.
Dyon scratched the back of his head awkwardly. He knew that Madeleine was quite protective of both Delia and Meiying, so he really had nothing to say back even though it was actually Meiying who was always hounding him.
“Big brother!”
Dyon sighed in relief as he was saved by this call.
A gorgeous sight filled the air. Two birds with feathers as black as ink soared toward him. Their bodied were lit ablaze, flickering with an unending yet comfortable heat.
In the end, they landed, their bodies quickly morphing into two beautiful young women with pale, yet somehow healthy complexions. It could only be said that their skin was so delicate it seemed that even the small heat could melt them away.
Their hair was a deep maroon, and their eyes reflected a dark opal light. The both of them couldn’t have been more than 17 or 18 years old, but they were already gorgeous beyond belief as they happily dove into Dyon’s arms.
Dyon smiled lightly, rubbing their heads. He had almost forgot that it had been nearly two years since he had gone to retrieve Hell’s Right Eye. Mia and Bella had clearly grown since then.
He didn’t know what happened, but after breaking into the celestial realm, these two little girls had stopped calling him uncle and started calling him big brother.
At first, he was ecstatic, believing they had regained their memories. But after a few moments, his hopes were dashed.
Still, he continued to allow them to call him big brother and he stopped neglecting them so much. Mia and Bella definitely deserved better than what he gave them.
“Ah, it seems you two have broken into the Dao Realm. How could big brother not give you two a gift?”
Dyon grinned as two flowing black dresses appeared in his hands. One hardly needed to be informed to realize they were both of the supreme grade.
