Chapter 1233 Because Of Me

Dyon followed the Demon Sage into a warmly lit room. The soothing gold light wasn't too invasive, but at the same time, it carried the contradictory feeling of covering any and all things.

"How did you manage to suspend her in time for so long?" Dyon couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

The Demon Sage, who was still in his own thoughts, took a while to answer. "Oh That is connected to the treasure those in-name disciples of mine came to search for."

Dyon blinked. "You mean the other half of the Jafari treasure? It has such an ability?"

"Mm. The Jafari family is one that lords of darkness, time, and s.p.a.ce. Some of the greatest warriors to ever exist hailed from that family and a large part of their success and many successes of others afterward are connected to this family.

"It's quite rare from humans to have high affinities for such enigmatic wills, so they truly were a rare breed." The Demon Sage explained.

Dyon nodded to himself silently. According to the ent.i.ty, while his grand teacher had 5 core abilities, only 2 were created by him alone: Cycle of Reincarnation and Time Lock. Both of these abilities were heavily tied with concepts of darkness, time and s.p.a.ce.

Of course, Dyon had known of his grand teacher's connection to the Jafari family ever since Zabia blew a hole through his heart and body. He definitely seemed to have some lingering attachment to Zabia.

"It's even more rare for a single family line to exist for so long. As far as I know, if not the Chaotic Era, the Jafari family has existed since the beginning Primordial Era at worst. The only other clans that could even remotely claim such a thing are the infernal and celestial beasts, but they're quite literally blessed by the heavens. Humans have no such gift."

"Then how exactly does the treasure work? How is it so useful?"

When Dyon spoke to King Mino, he had gotten a portion of the answer and used his intelligence to figure out the rest. However, he didn't dare to be certain despite how excited it made him.

King Mino's half of the treasure was a G.o.dly spatial treasure. Even characterizing it as a supreme grade treasure seemed lacking It was similar to how Dyon no longer bothered to call the demon sage tower a supreme grade treasure either. They both seemed to transcend that.

In the martial world, there were items known as pseudo treasures of the 33 heavens. In fact, Dyon had one in the Demolition Cube. However, this was just a fancy name for supreme grade treasures of the 10th to 12th realm.

Still, there was a ma.s.sive gap between even a 12th stage supreme grade treasure and a true treasure of the 33 heavens. If Dyon had to guess, the Jafari treasures and the demon sage tower fell in between this gap.

This aside, King Mino's half had earth shattering abilities. It was capable of creating a s.h.i.+eld of nigh impenetrable spatial will, protecting a certain area. With enough power, it was possible to cover entire planets, entire galaxies and even an entire universe!

It was no wonder Dyon was so excited. A ma.s.sive problem anyone with ambitions to conquer faced was maintaining the territory you had taken while expanding it further. This sort of splitting of resources was the reason so many failed!

But, imagine for a moment that you no longer needed to actively protect your back. The moment you conquered a new universe, you could close it off from the outside world entirely! This was the possibility given by just one half of the Jafari Clan treasure!

"The other half of this treasure is anch.o.r.ed in spatial will. However," The Demon Sage continued, "My half is anch.o.r.ed in time will. Its capable of suspending a certain area, given enough energy, within its own timeline, making it almost unreachable. It's because of this treasure that I came the closest to starting from nothing to almost creating an Emperor G.o.d Clan."

Dyon breathing slightly quickened. Its own timeline? Who the h.e.l.l created these treasures!? How heaven defying. If these two treasures came together

"With this treasure, how did everything go wrong?" Dyon muttered.

The Demon Sage sighed. "I was arrogant. Firstly, this treasure needs an exorbitant amount of energy to work properly. In fact, even just covering a single planet would require everything you have. The good news is that this barrier only needs to be created once, but this one time cost is astronomical.

"When I left to the Timeless Library, I took the Jafari treasure with me. I'm afraid that had I not, it would have long since been plundered by my enemies, but that's beside the point. I needed the Jafari treasure to narrow the timeline the library could jump me forward through."

"But you said you only needed to make the barrier once, so why does it matter if you had to take the treasure away?" Dyon wondered.

"There's a reason this is only half of the treasure The barrier created has flaws. If one is adept at time will, it's possible to find these flaws and exploit them. Only by combining both halves would the true abilities of the barrier manifest.

"Because I took the treasure with me, my enemies only needed to pay the price once It was too difficult for my people to regroup with so many shameless individuals wanting to kill them in my absence"

As Dyon listened to the Demon Sage, they continued to walk through the world of gold. Soon, a floating pod about the size of a human came into view.

"We've walked into another timeline." Little Yin and Yang suddenly said simultaneously.

Even though they spoke, Dyon wasn't listening at all. In fact, he had tuned out the Demon Sage completely as well. His heart was threatening to rip his chest apart and his entire mind was filled with one line the Demon Sage had said earlier, a line that he had completely ignored when he heard it then, but now was responsible for his whole world cras.h.i.+ng down.

'I remember her being devastated Many people said terrible things to me in that time, but knowing that my daughter lost the man she loved because of me'
