However, what did Dyon have to worry about? Since he had chosen to do this, let them come! Nothing was more important to him than helping his Demon Generals pursue their path of cultivation. They had helped him out greatly when he was too weak to protect himself. Now that their roles had flipped, he wouldn't forget about them.
With this in mind, Dyon got to work doing what he did best. With Meiying's help, he grasped full understanding of the Feng Shui in and out of Low Gold City. With this firmly in mind, he started mapping out the largest formation he had ever built himself.
Even back during his second trial, although Dyon provided the formation, it was actually Amphorae's mother of her first life that handled laying it down. After all, his soul was sealed back then. And, even if it wasn't, he was a mere grandmaster at the time. However, now, things were different.
Dyon chose to lay two formations. One was a defensive formation that relied on pockets of heavy earth will, and the second was an offensive formation.
The defensive formation was known as [Gaia's Will]. It relied heavily on a comprehension of sturdiness and stability inherent in earth will.
Obviously, Dyon had no comprehension of earth will. As a result, he could only rely on Meiying's abilities to supplement what he lacked. This was the power of a Feng Shui Master.
Dyon didn't have years to lay down the full formation. After all, he was only one man. Usually, such large scale formations were laid down by entire teams of array alchemists, which was why he created an entire Faction dedicated to them.
Unfortunately, that Faction was nowhere near prepared. Many of them hadn't even broken into the saint realm. So, Dyon was alone. As such, he couldn't even replicate 1% of this Comet Grade Formation.
The second formation was known as [Infinite Heart]. It was actually a puppet master formation.
What puppets struggled with most were appropriate energy sources. A large part of why Dyon never used the puppets the Demon Sage Tower awarded him was precisely because of this.
Luckily, the [Infinite Heart] formation mitigated this issue. The only problem was that it limited the range a puppet could travel in. Obviously, if a puppet left the range of the formation, there would be no more energy supplementing them.
[Infinite Heart] came in 3 tiers with each tier separated into four grades. The lowest tier could power saint puppets, the second, celestial puppets, and the third, dao puppets. As for the grades, it corresponded to the divisions within those cultivation realms, lower, middle, higher, and peak.
Though Dyon met the minimum requirement for drawing the dao tier as a planet lord, he, once more, didn't have the time. In addition, [Infinite Heart] was a Moon Grade formation, as such it was even more difficult to draw than [Gaia's Will].
Dyon could only settle for the peak celestial tier version of the formation. Even more unfortunately, with the two-month time limit he gave himself, his puppets had a range of 100 km from the center of the formation at most. Considering how large the celestial floors were, it was near negligible. Luckily, a 100km radius covered the most core portions of Low Gold City. As for the outer regions, [Gaia's Will] would have to protect them.
The last piece of the puzzle Dyon needed were the energy sources the [Infinite Heart] formation would need. These were provided by energy stone veins it was once more up to Meiying to find. Luckily, she didn't let him down.
Even though Dyon was greatly dissatisfied with his performance in laying these two formations, all of the Low Gold City was completely mesmerized.
Videos of Dyon's overwhelming soul qi sweeping through the city for almost two months took up what seemed like the entirety of the Sapientia Forums.
When the Sapientia Guilds caught wind of these videos, they sucked in a cold breath. Months ago, when they heard Dyon's demand of 30 turned 40% of the Sapientia Network, they had snorted in disdain. Dyon might be a genius in combat, but the secondary professions were a completely different beast.
But, seeing these images, they could only shrink back at their own inferiority. It was then that Aritzia was called in for a meeting with the Sapientia upper echelon
As these things were occurring, Dyon wiped off a final bead of sweat as he finished etching in the final symbol. He had invested more than just his own stamina into this, large scale formations required an ungodly amount of resources. Dyon easily spent half a million dao stones gathering what he needed, and these were just two formations! The price would have been even worse had it not been for relying on Feng Shui.
Just as Dyon was finally relaxed enough to finally check out the gold danger zones, he got a message from Clara that froze him in his tracks.
"Dyon, hurry! The twins won't last more than a few more minutes They want to see you one more time"
Dropping everything, Dyon left at his fastest possible speed.
Dyon went as fast as everything he had would allow.
After leaving the tower, he appeared in what remained of abandoned Earth, then quickly used a planet grade teleportation array to appear within Soul Palace. It hadn't been more than ten seconds since Clara called him before his spatial qi swarmed and allowed him to directly appear by Mia and Bella's death beds.
The atmosphere was incredibly solemn. Even with Dyon appearing so abruptly, those around barely reacted.
Mia and Bella were two weak little girls. In any other empire, their existences would be marginalized to the point of being completely ignored. But, here? They were family. They were beloved by every person here.
Of the Demon Generals, Kaeda was the only one to directly leave the celestial floors after passing her celestial door trial. As someone who had cared for Mia and Bella for the last more than decade, she would never forgive herself for not being by their sides in their final moments.
