Thatch shifted awkwardly, but finally began telling his story.

"We've been on the celestial floor for almost ten years already, but although we were harassed, it wasn't too bad. Things only started to get bad around two years ago"

No one here needed to think too much to understand what might have instigated that. Dyon didn't exit the golden flame mystical world until two years ago. After that, many of his exploits came to be known. There were even videos circulating of him defeating the Fiery Lotus and Flame Rebirth Sect heirs, something Dyon assumed must have been Titus' handy work. After all, he was the only one in position to do such a thing. It was likely revenge for him exposing that he was the one who killed Christian III.

"After that, not only did the Golden Crow Sect cultivators react violently, but a lot of shameless bastards who wanted to use your name to make a path to fame for themselves started harassing us one after another.

"But, those people were just clowns, they weren't a match for us It wasn't until the True Gods and their factions started to get involved that we ran into some issues."

Dyon's eyes narrowed. Before he exited the tower, he knew that there were two True Gods on the saint floors, but there were eight more in total excluding himself, not to mention an unknown number of False True Gods as well.

From what Dyon knew, the Star Clan's and the Sprite's True God had both gone to the dao floors. In addition, according to rumors, another True God of a certain qilin Clan had also recently broken through and entered the dao floors as well. Plus, both Falkor and Anak had ascended to the celestial floors as well. This meant that if one included Dyon, there were 8 True Gods on the Celestial Floors alone!

Back when Dyon allowed the Celestial Deer Corner's barrier to lift, Falkor began to harass his people to no end, all in order to draw him out. How could the prideful True Gods sit back knowing that Dyon commanded 1st place on not just 1 trial, but 4 of them?! They were sick and tired of listening to people talk about how Dyon might be in a class all to his own. Unfortuantely, when they wanted to find Dyon to vent their frustrations, he disappeared for several years at a time, taking his sweet time as though he didn't place them in his eyes at all.

These sorts of sentiments were rampant, not just among True Gods, but also among False True Gods who believed they were on the same level. This sort of thing made Dyon public enemy number one. They didn't care what reasons he had, nor did they care he had just "had" a child. They wanted nothing more than to prove themselves by using him as a steppingstone.

On this lowest celestial tier, there was Dyon, Falkor, Titus and Anak. However, one had to remember that the celestial floors allowed free movement between them. This meant that the four others could freely assault them to their will.

Of course, Damaris was among this number. That meant that Dyon had one less True God to worry about. However, this didn't account for the number of False True Gods there were.

Aside from those Dyon had already named, there were three other True Gods, all of whom were from the Drago-Qilin lands! They were arrogant without compare, it was no wonder they were so oppressive and violent.

True God Drathal Aurum. A peak celestial expert of the Aurum Dragon Clan. His demeanor was actually on the calmer side, a silent arrogance exuding from him.

Dyon's golden dragon scale was from an ancestor of the Aurum Dragon Clan. There was no doubt that if Drathal ever found out about such a thing that he would not rest until he had trampled upon Dyon's everything.

The Aurum Clan was known for more than just their beautiful golden scales, much like how the Crystal Dragon Clan had their own specialization in mental energy, the Aurum Clan was known for having very potent Dragon Souls. Their strength at a certain tier of Dragon Soul was as much as double that other dragons of a similar tier! This referred not to just its strength, but also its range.

True God Rahl Lux. She was a pseudo dao expert of the Lux Qilin Clan. Only they had a beauty that could match the Aurum Clan due to their specialty in light will.

The Lux Clan disdained the idea that light will was an inferior will. In fact, they had a special bloodline that made their light will not lose out to a supreme law in any way. Not only did this special path of light give them ungodly speed the likes of which no one of a similar cultivation could match, it also came with a higher realm that gave them a level of attack potency that made even the fiercest war lords run in the opposite direction.

Finally, there was True God Kere Nativus, a pseudo dao expert. She was a member of the Kere Qilin Clan, a Clan of qilins known for their mastery of the elements. Much like the Lux Clan, the disdained the idea that their bloodline will legacy was inferior. Many tended to look down on elemental wills, believing them to be subpar and weak due to how easy they were to learn for most. However, the Kere Clan's use of the elements was unlike anything to ever exist before!

Any one of these three could give Dyon a great battle. In fact, he definitely hadn't closed the gap to pseudo dao expert yet, meaning he only stood a real chance against Drathal. Yet, this was the situation he was tossed into.

...

"Where are Ava, Caedlum and Thor?" Dyon frowned. Looking around, he didn't see any of them. In fact, there were others missing as well like River, Ronica and Arios.
