Chapter 1205 Reappearance

As Dyon was finally preparing to leave toward Chaos Universe, an uproar was blazing through the martial world, unbeknownst to him.

The first bit of news sounded the death of former Head Void and the instatement of his son, Kaori Void as the new head of the kitsune clan.

How this news became public knowledge was truly baffling, especially considering the fact that Kaori sealed the clan and recalled all youths in training back. Even Kaori would have been stunned to know that this had somehow become common knowledge However, with a bit of thought, he would have understood exactly how this happened.

In the end, it was too late to stop the spread of news. The death of a clan head from a top 30 quadrant wasn't anything to ignore, however Kaori's swift action stopped the Shruti from being able to take advantage.

All kitsune withdrew from the tower, returning to their home quadrant and stopping the enemy's ability to use them as leverage or spies for their clans.

After this, the kitsune withdrew their armies from gates that bordered their and the Shruti's territory.

According to reports, instead of fighting for gates, Kaori directly commanded the release of all tower owners.h.i.+ps but one. On the surface, this move seemed stupid, but even Aritzia Sapientia's eyes glowed with a fierce light when she read the reports.

If the kitsune only had to defend one tower for every gate the Shruti could attack from, that meant that they could apply the least amount of manpower to achieve the best benefits.

And, even if the Shruti managed to conquer that final tower, so what? The Shruti would still have to then attack on kitsune soil. Something they weren't ready to do. No one wanted to fight pyric wars, which was why campaigns were mostly just used to temper young geniuses.

When clans began to realize that the Sapientia News Network was useful for more than just giving updates on the latest gossip and could actually be used for keeping tabs on the large movements of important clans, subscriptions skyrocketed.

If Dyon had known about this, he would have laughed like a little girl. In just a few months, profits jumped from just 10 to 20 dao stones, to over 100 a month!

This was a true blessing in disguise. The Sapientia suddenly understood that what Clans values most wasn't information on the latest fight between the Masked Wife Stealer and his love rivals, but rather practical news about movements of clans and large corporations.

Because this realization dawned upon them, when Clara presented phase two, their resistance was far less than it would have been before.

With the implementation of phase two, a new tier of subscriptions would be included on a clan to clan and sect to sect basis instead of individual.

By paying a hefty fee per month, clans could create what Clara called a "forum". Using this "forum", they could post job listings for experts in combat, formation theory, alchemy and so on. In addition, they could also provide rewards for information they needed and missions they wanted completed.

Originally, the Sapientia would have been opposed to this idea. This was because it would have given various clans and sects dominions of their own over something the Sapientia wanted to control exclusively. But, by presenting it just when they felt the greed for increased profits, Clara's idea weeded its way through with ease.

Surprisingly, the first organizations to sign up were a.s.sa.s.sin organizations. The convenience of using the Internet over back alleys was clearly the most useful to them. Coupling this with the fact the Sapientia promised perfect anonymity, and the fact everyone knew the Sapientia were famous for neutrality, and even those big underworld bosses felt at ease.

Even though the fee for even the lowest tier of "forum" was 100 dao stones, these organizations paid without blinking an eye.

Information networks soon followed suit, unwilling to be left behind. Although the Sapientia News Network provided the news, in order to keep their unbiased stance, they could only publish information that was relatively benign.

For example, they could publish about the Emperor Giant Clan's young master being embarra.s.sed. But they couldn't do so if it was the actual Head of the Emperor Giant Clan. They had to draw a line that was impossible to cross over.

However, various famous information networks like Lotus Vein and Enigmatic Tunnels had no such reservations and released information wantonly on a tier-based system.

The Sapientia higher ups had their eyes light up when they saw just how effective this second phase was for them. Not only were the profits mind numbing, they could by proxy receive information on every quadrant without paying a single dime.

Next, another surprising contestant stepped up to the plate. Some of the most famous brothels began to promote their events and push new virgin belles they had recently acquired on their own forums. Sometimes the betting on the virginities of these maidens would reach millions of celestial stones, causing the Den Mothers of these establishments to faint of happiness.

This wasn't even the end of profits either. Every transaction had to be done anonymously, which meant that the only establishment they could rely on was Sapientia Bank. For every transaction made, the Sapientia were able to take a small percentage for handling fees, causing their revenue to balloon to new heights.

However, all of this didn't mean that individuals stopped being interested in the normal SNN In fact, this was proven quite soon as a bomb sh.e.l.l was dropped on the martial world.

Madeleine Sacharro, with a cultivation age of less than 12 years old, shattered the saint barrier and became a true celestial realm cultivator

The martial world finally came to know Madeleine for something other than simply being a True G.o.d's wife. She had been a beautiful flower before, but it wasn't until now that everyone understood that the only thing stopping Madeleine from becoming a True G.o.d herself was the fact that the Golden Crow Sect had owners.h.i.+p of key.

Still, no one dared to laugh even behind G.o.d Goldeen's back. This was because whether or not Madeleine could do so was simple speculation, whereas he, despite not being a True G.o.d, was still a G.o.d!

That said, this didn't stop the martial world from gossiping about Madeleine. Rumor had it that the universe blessed her by filling nine meridians before her trial even began!

This wasn't the only poignant point either. Madeleine had advanced as a peak first grade celestial! Such a feat could only be claimed by less than 500 individuals currently alive within their 100 quadrants!

Rumor had it that her tribulation was nothing short of spectacular, raging over several weeks and even evoking a fire tribulation! It was then that Madeleine exposed her One with World Fire intent to the world, shocking the various masters of the Flaming Lily Sect to no end.

The world couldn't help but sigh. The husband already captivated the attention of the world, yet the wife wasn't far behind.

Yet, the announcements weren't concluded yet either, because soon after, the Master of the Flaming Lily Sect declared Madeleine to be the heiress of their sect, skipping over her core disciple credentials to directly crown her as their second Legatee!

After this news, the world finally settled down for as much as half a year, but soon afterward, the tides of more coming began to roll once more.

A little-known clan ranked just within the top 65 began to slowly creep upwards.

Months ago, information about a certain King Emytheus dethroning his clan's key wielder to his place had caused a small stir. Many believed that he would enter his trials to raise his ranking afterward, but who would have thought that this young man would completely forego such thoughts!

In front a crowd gathered around the trial to the celestial floors, he declared that he would form a brotherhood to rival the Heavenly Sword Guild and the Star Force. Right then and there he blasted through the guardians of the celestial floor with impunity, naming his new formed alliance "The Brotherhood of Guardians"!

The world snorted at his arrogance, but they couldn't ignore the waves the Guardians began to make.

Making use of the Sapientia "forums", Emytheus began to slowly recruit and build up his coalition. He never plucked talents away from quadrants above his own, yet his forces were shockingly fierce.

They directly began to make waves on the celestial floors, vowing to raise their new quadrant up by 20 ranks within five years!

The martial world was stunned. Such an arrogant young man, yet he was a mere King!

Just as the world was distracted by Emytheus, Alexandria Snow made her reappearance into the world!
