Chapter 2045 Cold

?On one side, there was Anak. Beside him, there was not only his wife, Chrysanthemum, but also the hidden genius of the Mist Clan, Valen Mist.

On the other, though There was Aki Void, the very man Dyon had imprisoned for many decades, the man who nearly blinded Ri for a lifetime, the man Dyon castrated in the Valley of Geniuses after realizing his ident.i.ty.

Dyon had raised Aki up for many years. Not only him, but Gin Jikan and Masako Heaven as well.

In truth, their current strength was far beyond what they would have become without Dyon. Even if they trained to the end of their lifetimes Becoming Peak Dao Experts like they were now was nothing more than a pipe dream.

However, were human emotions really so simple? Dyon killed Aki's grandfather, not everyone could forgive that like Chenglei had. Dyon cut off his manhood before the eyes of countless individuals, forever severing his line and robbing him of this pure joy. But, worst of all Dyon s.n.a.t.c.hed his freedom, locking him in a cage for countless years, forcing him to cultivate to his whims

Even through all of this, Aki couldn't retaliate. He thought that if Dyon kept neglecting him, if his strength continued to grow, that one day he would be able to silently shatter the seal Dyon placed in him and escape to plot his revenge alongside his father.

But who knew that a seal Dyon casually cast when he was nothing more than a young man in his 20s could actually persist for so long?

This reality made Aki's blood run cold. Even after Dyon poured resources into him, even after he spent every waking moment of everyday dreaming of revenge He still wasn't better than a Dyon who was nothing more than a child in the eyes of mature cultivators

A devastating blow of this magnitude completely crumbled his resolve. Versus such a character, even if he eventually shattered the seal he neglected What did it matter? How could he ever win against such a monster?

He was prepared to simply live out the rest of his life, dying without descendants to pay for a crime he committed in his youth. But It was then that these three appeared before him, questioning him about the void tunnels of his clan

Because of the seal, he had no ability to directly act against Dyon But how was he to blame for simply answering the questions of a few curious strangers?

...

"Stop sneering and tell us directly." Valen lost his temper.

He had felt so stifled over the last several decades. When his life began, he was already written in as the hope of the Mist Clan. It was he was supposed to enter the Ancient Battlefield and bring glory to them. But Dyon happened.

He had endured for so many years, waiting for his moment, only to realize it probably would never come. This was too infuriating.

Now, one of Dyon's slaves dared sneer at him? It was taking everything in his power to not slap Aki to death.

Unfortunately, he soon realized after this thought that Aki was several times more powerful than he was. Because of the Mist Clan trying to keep Dyon's prying eyes away, they refused much of resources using various pretexts. As a result, Valen didn't improve nearly as quickly as he could have

While Aki was a Peak Dao Expert, he was still a Middle Dao Expert

However, his words had already been said. Even facing the pressure of Aki's gaze, he could only swallow the rest of what he wanted to say.

"The void tunnels of my Void Clan take years to build, so they obviously can't casually be destroyed either. There're definitely still standing. I wouldn't be wrong about something like this."

If it wasn't for void tunnels lingering far beyond their period of use, how could Head Void ever have made it back to Dyon's home planet years after Saru finished using it?

One had to remember the void tunnels were the very reason Saru managed to make it to Dyon's home in any sort of reasonable time. If not for them, she would have been well into her 20s or even 30s by the time she made it. If that happened, how then could she have been just a little girl when Dyon met her?

"Aki, we need a void tunnel that can deliver us outside of Mortal Empire territory." Anak said straightforwardly. "I won't say too much else."

Anak knew that Aki hated Dyon with every fiber of his being. However, if he made it too obvious they were doing this to go against Dyon, Aki's seal would trigger. If that happened, Dyon would be informed and everything would be for naught.

Aki's eyes narrowed. The moment these three had come to ask him these questions, he had been aware of their purpose, he wasn't a fool.

"Using those void tunnels is dangerous." Aki said plainly. "Emperor Sacharro used the Jafari Clan treasure to change the positions of the universes. In some cases they were brought closer together, in others, further apart.

"He even used the Sage Tower to reposition the universes themselves to produce the best defensive formations there could be.

"On top of all of this, haven't you noticed the drastic changes in the stars in the skies? Haven't you noticed that there are far fewer of them than there had been in the past? You can imagine that if Emperor Sacharro has the power to move universes, what do mere stars mean to him?"

Aside from Anak, Chrysanthemum and Valen paled visibly.

Wasn't this the stuff of fantasy and fairy tales? How could a man change the position of a universe?

"In case you need me to spell it out for you, the study maps becomes incredibly complex when the scope of the universe is taken into consideration. It becomes even more complex when a large time factor is added.

"Not only do moons have orbits, but planets, stars, galaxies, galaxy cl.u.s.ters and even universe within quadrants and quadrants themselves have orbits."
