Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God
chapter-1374

In addition, the Golden Crow bloodline was already far too diluted. The fact they even maintained even a faint resemblance up to now was a testament to how powerful the bloodline had once been. It was similar to how the celestial beasts still managed to survive until now, except for the fact the celestial beasts are even more ancient than the golden crow.

Dyon walked to the throne, looking from the crown to the throne and back again, he suddenly felt like he understood something.

"What a cautious guy. Even with all of his previously laid out plans, he had one more contingency plan. If it was the me before… I definitely wouldn't have noticed this. It's no wonder he didn't risk allowing dao experts in despite the fact using them would have drastically cut down the time he needed…"

Soon afterward, Dyon had explained the situation to Madeleine.

Within the throne, there was a final gem connected to Orcus' Crown. The problem was that this gem had an inner space set to self-destruct. Orcus clearly decided that if he were to fail, he didn't want anyone benefitting from his treasures.

If it was a normal individual, Dyon would have sneered at the attempt. The issue was that Orcus was a Star Lord in his life! What did Dyon's newly formed planet qi have in the face of star qi? If he even attempted, it was likely his mind's eye would shatter.

Luckily, not all hope was lost. The same mistake that cost Orcus his life was the same mistake that would force his treasures to have no choice but to land in Dyon's hands. It all boiled down to his Soul Nature!

Due to his caution, the one formation in this mystical world that Orcus never neglected to upkeep was the very one hidden within his throne. The problem was that as his Soul Nature strengthened, so did the death characteristics of the arrays he drew.

There was something else that benefitted Dyon. Orcus claimed to be an alchemist, a beast tamer, and a runic vein master, but he never claimed to be a formation master! From what Dyon could see, his skill level in formation was barely at the Comet Lord realm, far weaker than Dyon. It was just that the star qi he used to form this Comet grade array was giving Dyon headaches.

However, if Dyon and Madeleine worked together, they could fuse Dyon's planet qi with life essence. In that case, it would be enough to combat Orcus' death natured star qi, especially since Dyon's Presence had been perfectly fused with his soul qi.

With those thoughts understood, the husband-wife pair set off to work. In the end, it took them almost a month of slow, agonizing work before the array finally shattered safely. By now, there were only a few hours until the world collapsed. But, now that Dyon and Madeleine had taken control of the true core of the world, the mystical world stabilized once more.

Dyon laughed. "This Orcus was definitely a genius. He managed to trick the Heavens into thinking that this place was a Legacy World, and now the Heavens think that we're looking for inheritors as well."

It was only now that Dyon and Madeleine partially understood. A large part of Orcus' resources had gone toward stabilizing the cognitive dissonance the Heavens experienced due to this fake legacy world. This allowed Orcus to receive the help of the Heavens while also having the benefits of a mystical world. The theory behind it was so complex that Dyon found it impossible to wrap even his head around it. This required such a deep understanding of Heavenly Laws that Dyon could only admit it was too far above him.

However, at this moment, Dyon couldn't be bothered to care. Before him now sat exactly what he had been looking for: Orcus' Core Teachings!

It wasn't just that either. The treasures here were few, but their level was rare even by Dyon's standards. He could only shake his head and smile stupidly as he wiped the sweat from his face.

There was one treasure here that Dyon was the most excited to see, one he ignored even the ominous black booklets for.

It took the shape of a small black skull the size of a baby's head, but it was distinctly inhuman. Its eyes were far too large, its teeth were jagged, and it had horns that curled into a demonic spiral.

Dyon's instincts told him exactly what this was immediately. This treasure was the secret to cutting off the connection between slumbering Ancestors and their Clans!

Dyon looked at the small skull in his hands. Off to the side, Madeleine sat in meditation. For her, these flames were an important source for increasing her comprehension of Life Will. Considering its important, life abyssal cores were even rarer than death abyssal cores. Such an opportunity was unheard of, so she took full advantage.

In truth, Madeleine Life Will was tied to her Ice Phoenix Flames, the issue was that this wasn't enough. The ice flames had the characteristic of life, even ranking ahead of Purgatory Flames to solidly place 6th, however, this characteristic had to be nurtured as it could very easily be suppressed by the flame's Piercing Cold characteristic.

Although Madeleine's flame will had reached the 9th intent realm, her life characteristic was lagging behind severely. As a Supreme Law, how could Life Will be so pitiful? Yet, Madeleine was unable to heal Dyon's body alone without support. This showed just how lacking her flame's life characteristic was.

The best way to solve this issue was to comprehend life will separately and slowly infuse this comprehension into her flames. Eventually, they would become one and Madeleine could focus on simply raising the grade of her flames as a whole.

Dyon turned back his attention to the baby skull. "What is this?"

"The path of death infused within this skull is very odd and complex, but it also has a very deep and rich history." Little Yin and Yang spoke as one as they often did when using their historical path time will.

"This skull was is from a species of Demon Royalty. The Demon Royal has long been extinct and disappeared after the Chaos Era. At least, this was the case in their true form.

"Smaller branches of Demon Royalty survived into the Primordial Era, but by then, they were mere shells of their former selves, were eventually replaced by the Devils that practice along the devil path. However, Demonic Royals are the originators of all such paths.

"As things stand today, the only remaining pieces of this history can only be found on the Ancient Battlefield where the beginning of time meets the end.

"This skull is that of a child from the Chaos Era, a True Blood Noble of one of the most powerful of the Seven Sinful Clans – The Pride Clan."

Dyon's eyes contracted. What did the twins mean the only remaining pieces? How could that be true?

Back when Dyon entered the Valley of Geniuses and captured the three kitsune geniuses, one of the Emperors that gung up on him was a member of one of these Sinful Clans too, wasn't he? His name was Chanzui and he was an obese young man who proudly touted that he was part of the 23rd ranked quadrant's Glutton Clan.
