Novel Full Chapter 1657 Nihility
Chapter 1657 Nihility
One had to remember that Dyon’s constitution world wouldn’t have even opened up for him under normal circumstances. It was only because he forced the issue and entered the Bronze Silk realm that it happened so early. If not, it would have been a repeat of the last timeline and he would have missed his best chance to take advantage of his world.
As Dyon was thinking of this mystery, he didn’t stop scouring the mountain range. He knew there was no point in dwelling on this ‘unfairness’. Since when were the Heavens fair with him?
After subduing the male wyvern, the female mates and the betas of his pride naturally fell under his rule as well.
There were two more wyvern eggs, bringing his total to five, plus seven females and two males. Though, both males were castrated and heavily handicapped. Dyon wondered why the male wyvern left them around at all.
While he didn’t find another mine of type stones within the caves of the subordinate wyverns, he did find one, as expected, in the cave of their alpha.
Much like the female wyvern, it was located in a tunnel too narrow for their bodies to enter. But, it stored the very type stones Dyon had been looking for this whole time: saint grade holy type stones!
Dyon understood immediately why the male wyvern chose this cave. Considering how often he likely had to battle to protect his pride and his territory, not to mention his many mates, having a place he could enter that sped up his healing speed was invaluable.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know how to manipulate qi, and as such could only rely on the passive healing abilities of the stones.
‘These stones will bring the sixth floor of the Sage Tower to an entirely new level… If I can bring them out, that is.’
Dyon shook his head and collected the stones. There were about 5-6000 of them. By Dyon’s estimation, if he drained them all, it would be the equivalent to about 5-6 times the amount of holy type energy he siphoned from the bull-bird’s nurturing pile and half the amount within the female wyvern’s pile. It was a great boon.
Dyon looked toward the depths of the mountain range, but decided against continuing forward.
He understood that mountains were appealing in this world because they brought up type stones hidden deep with the earth. Since he was on the outer edges, he was still within what would be considered shallow earth, but within the depths, greater type stones would be found, and greater beasts would follow.
[Author’s Note: mountains usually start as flat land that curls in on itself due to some impact. So, the outer edges of a mountain range would represent what used to be the surface of flat land, meaning more valuable type stones would be hidden within.]
Dyon didn’t allow his greed or recent windfall to blind him. He focused ahead on three tasks.
First, he had to raise the 5 wyvern eggs. Only by raising beasts from infancy could he groom them to be capable of using qi. Queen and the female cobra were only weaker than the female wyvern because Dyon could only provide essence grade qi to them, once he began feeding them saint grade qi, even 10 female wyverns wouldn’t be their match.
Secondly, he had to train himself. Since he couldn’t focus on his soul for obvious reasons, he had to accelerate the growth of his body and his wills.
His wills were currently a great strength of his, but he could only use a small portion of them because his control was limited. He had to improve. This would also greatly help his will comprehension and he could potentially break into the dao realm with several wills under this pressure.
As for his body, Dyon knew he needed to grow its strength quickly, namely because of his overbearing soul. He directly killed the two crippled male wyverns while he allowed the alpha wyvern to eat a few dozen holy type stones to recover.
After feasting on the crippled male wyverns, Dyon’s bodily strength shot up considerably. After soothing and nurturing his growth with holy type qi, his body finally shot past the 500 000 000 jin mark. The bodily strength of a wyvern was far more than he could have imagined. If it wasn’t for the purpose of using them in his army, he was have eaten the remaining 8 wyverns too.
The third task Dyon set his mind to was something he had completely ignored simply because he thought he didn’t have the strength to even think about.
Within Orcus’ Legacy, he left a map to his stores of battle corpses. One of those locations… Was on the Ancient Battlefield. The very same place Orcus found the baby skull of the Pride Clan genius that comprehended the Path of Nihility.
**
As Dyon was laying his claim to the Ancient Battlefield, the Mortal Alliance wasn’t stalling in his absence, if anything, they were trying even harder.
Dyon had made matters clear during the last Mortal Meeting. This time, war would be happening whether they wanted it to or not come 2 years from now.
Before, Dyon didn’t really have the means of convincing them with reason. His only reason for pushing war beforehand was The Entity. He knew he couldn’t just sit on his hands, Earth was practically a ticking time bomb that only more strength would be able to diffuse. The issue was that anyone who had even the faintest inkling about how the minds of humans functioned knew that using a problem that wouldn’t manifest for several hundred thousand years as a catalyst for action would never work.
Because of the way Dyon formed the rules of the Mortal Alliance, he couldn’t unilaterally declare war alone. Though he had by far the most power, it was much more balanced than other quadrants. As much as he wanted to simply take the reins and control everything, Dyon knew that that method would be detrimental in the long run.
He wanted to foster an environment that gave his subordinates power and a path to grasp said power. Only by doing this would they try their hardest. Dyon couldn’t do everything alone, he needed powerful individuals under him, so he had no choice but to choose this approach.𝑖.𝘤ℴ𝘮
