Book 8: Chapter 63: Challenge (3)
“Hypnos is a male God depicted as the embodiment of sleep in many ancient cultures. His Muse was the love of his life, a woman he blessed with a comforting sleep throughout all her lifetimes.
“This constitution is relatively weak initially, but Hypnos was a bit of a narcissist. He believed that your first life didn’t need such good sleep because you had him, why would you need to have sleep when you had such a good man by your side?
“However, in the case that one born with this constitution in a previous lifetime is born with it again, it becomes something otherworldly. Hypnos believes that since it was unlikely for him to follow you into this life, you’d be awashed with sorrow and would prefer to sleep for long periods of time to escape.
“He wants to incentivize this sleeping sorrow, so he rewards more you the longer you sleep.”
Amphorae’s eyes arched in surprise, then finally understanding. How could a constitution have such a harsh requirement? To happen to be born with same constitution twice two lifetimes in a row? Such a thing was impossible to the point of being nonsense.
“Is this a bad thing… Or a good thing?” Amphorae asks, partially worried.
If this Hypnos was such a narcissist, didn’t that mean he’d prefer for her to be asleep forever? What if one day she fell asleep, only to never wake up again?
“I was worried about a similar thing as well, or else I would have told you earlier.” The Demon Sage said softly. “But, after learning yours and Dyon’s story, I felt relieved. If it wasn’t for your constitution, I would have killed that brat long ago.”
Seeing his daughter’s confusion, the Demon Sage explained.
“If it wasn’t for Dyon, you’d have to be worried about this. But, I believe you don’t have to now. Hypnos isn’t actually a real person. Well, rather, he is, but you aren’t the individual he was actually in love with. Hypnos passed a portion of his ancient constitution to protect his wife, causing it to begin to be passed down. As a result, there’s both the aspect of reincarnation and love implanted within this constitution.
“Not only must you share the same constitution between two lives to reach this constitution’s full potential, you must also share the same lover in two lives, or else the backlash of this constitution will be even worse than some others.”
Constitution backlashes weren’t rare. For example, Ri’s talent was stifled for a long time for this reason. Madeleine was another example. Before her constitution fully awoke, she was facing an inevitable death. Dyon believed that the twins, Mia and Bella were another example of this sort of backlash… it was just unfortunate that he didn’t manage to find a solution before they died.
Considering how convoluted and unreasonable Hypnos’ Muse was, it wouldn’t be surprising if Mia and Bella had a constitution even more complex…
“Come, that’s enough of that. You want to help that little brat, right? In just a few days, no one below the peak dao realm will be able to touch my little girl. And with your Golden Dragon Lyre, even a peak dao realm expert can’t stop you from fleeing.”
Amphorae smiled sweetly. She didn’t plan on telling Dyon about this, she was certain that he was under a great amount of stress on his own…
A cold smile coated Amphorae’s features as the illusory image of blood red wings appeared to her back. It felt as though the temperature of Soul Planet had plummeted by several dozen degrees in an instant, even the clouds above seemed to redden.
That Aritzia had a lot of nerve. The husband that she, Amphorae Sacharro, chose wasn’t the type of person just anyone could put their hands on. She’d bathe Sapientia City in blood.

Dyon had no idea that his family had risen up to support him. Had he, though he would be worried, he would have felt an endless warmth in his heart.
He continued to work at his fastest possible speed. Two weeks was his estimate, but for some reason he felt uneasy. The opponent he was facing was no normal individual. Dyon faintly felt that Aritzia was aware that the Jafari Clan treasure would be finished with its task soon. In fact, how could Dyon know whether or not she had made a move before alerting him?
These thoughts caused Dyon to work faster and faster. The calm expression on his features never fluctuating as he unknowingly slipped into a deep unconscious state.
Just as he feared, the 7th day hadn’t come to a close before a novel fluctuation of spatial qi caught Dyon’s attention. Only a few hundred miles away, the presence of six dao experts caused Dyon’s eyes to narrow.
This Aritzia really didn’t spare any efforts. All six of them were higher dao experts – the strongest being of the 8th dao realm, and the weakest of the 7th. Even if Dyon had told Amphorae to come, there was nothing she could do against such a lineup.
Dyon realized from the bestial auras they gave off that these six were definitely top-ranking members of BPA. Why they had come? It was definitely to get the Rainbow Kun Peng Clan to join their ranks. A transcendent grade beast clan was too enticing… But it was also a danger to them.
If the Rainbow Kun Peng Clan agreed, then everything would be fine for them. But, should they disagree, BPA would kill them all.
For this reason, Dyon had long since emptied their underwater strongholds. He didn’t even want to give them an opportunity to hesitate.
Despite all the battles Dyon had faced in his life… This would by far be the greatest challenge…
