How many more opportunities would he have to defeat enemies cut off from their Faith? How many more opportunities would he have to avoid battling their most powerful Ancestors? Maybe this was the last time.

Still, the resolution in Dyon's eyes didn't fade. Wasn't his mind one of his weapons as well? Who said the martial world had to be purely ruled by strength, who said it couldn't be ruled by intelligence? If his own power wasn't yet enough to stand on the biggest stage, he'd make sure his mind was.

Plus Dyon didn't feel that he would remain weak forever. He had grown so powerful even without using the Dragon and Phoenix Seals left behind for him by Jade. Originally, they had the ability to help him reach the Peak Dao Realm as long as he broke all 33. The only reason he hadn't used them yet was because the Seals were difficult to break.

The Dragon and Phoenix Seals held the immeasurable energy of Jade's Higher Existence self and breaking them required battle prowess. The higher Dyon's battle prowess, the more seals he could shatter, and the more energy he could absorb.

There were 11 body seals, 11 soul seals, and 11 energy seals. Dyon had been capable of breaking all of the soul seals long ago, but his body was too weak to handle such a powerful soul. Now, however, he was more than qualified.

Then he would break the body seals. He felt that if he diligently absorbed the energy within the body seals, he might be able to reach the diamond silk stage, a stage two levels above his current gold stage and only a single step away from the higher fate silk stage.

Finally, there was the 11 energy seals. Before, they were qualified to bring Dyon up to the Peak Dao Stage, but he doubted they had the ability to do so now His energy talent had gone up too much and his meridians were far wider. However, they should still be enough to bring him to the 6th or 7th dao stage.

Dyon felt that he couldn't thank Jade enough for this trump card she left him

He didn't know how many years it would take to fully and comfortably absorb so much energy, but he did know it would be easier with Luna by his side. Once he completely absorbed all 33, he might reach a realm where he no longer had to fear Higher Existences even if he couldn't defeat them.

If those below watching Dyon in reverence knew that he only had thoughts of growing stronger, they might all have weird expressions on their faces. But, this was the reality of Dyon's life, he couldn't relax.

To most, their goal might be to stand atop the mortal plane and maybe one day transcend. In fact, many didn't even have thoughts of becoming dao experts and were greatly satisfied with the title of Celestial.

However, Dyon's enemy was among the strongest transcendents to ever exist. He simply didn't have such luxury.

When Dyon collected himself, he swept his unconscious enemies into his inner world. The battle had long since concluded. No one was foolish enough to continue risking their lives after it became clear the outcome would be decided by Dyon and his opponents.

Lord Odin and Emperor Pakal received the same treatment, being directly sent into Dyon's inner world.

The Ragnors and Pakals were rounded up. Their strength was sealed under Dyon's prowess and their weapons and resources were taken away.

Unlike his actions with the Five Beast Clans, Dyon couldn't afford to assimilate these characters into his army just yet. While he hadn't feared the Faith of the Five Beast Clan Alliance, he was apprehensive about the Faith of two Emperor God Clans. Until he conquered their universes, he wouldn't attempt to use them under his banner.

Finally, after allowing his warriors to rest, Dyon began to march toward the core of Ragnor territory. Once he subdued what remained of the Sapientia, Celestial Quadrant would be under the ownership of the Sacharro Clan.

Back within Star Quadrant, the parliament gathering the Mortal Plane Federation were still going strong. It had already been several weeks of daily meetings, but there always seemed to be numerous more small details to sort.

Several laws had to be put in place, loopholes had to be sealed, and viewpoints had to be configured such that everyone was on the same page. One had to remember that this Federation would eventually become the board that pieced the territories of the tower quadrants, it was impossible for them to not be diligent.

First, the point system had to be created and vetted.

As the point of the Federation was essentially to train up youthful geniuses, the missions had to be chosen as such. However, at the same time, there was little point in completing empty missions. There had to be a balance of safety and difficulty that cultivated better geniuses for the sake of their future. In addition, the completed missions also had to benefit the Federation as a whole.

There was no surprise with the fact that the Star Clan's constructed point system had many holes shot through it. Yet, despite being the target of scrutiny, King Star simply smiled and nodded, making his own opinions clear but also accepting that of others.

In the end, the parliament decided on what they called the Golden Formula. This formula calculated the value of a universe based on its age, resources, potential for growth and energy density.

The result gained from this Golden Formula was then multiplied by unit distance. This distance represented the gap between a Clan or Sect's outer boundary and this universe in question. Of course, the shortest distance possible was taken.

A universe that was directly adjacent and within the same quadrant received a value of 1. A universe that was directly adjacent but within a separate quadrant received a value of 10. Like this, every quadrant boundary represented a 10 times multiplier while every common universe boundary was a jump of a single fold.
