Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God
chapter-1437

However, there were too many obstacles to this. First of all, finding someone who could match the [Dao of Array Alchemy] in comprehension was near impossible. This Soul Tag was a concept Dyon gleamed from it, which made it a dime a dozen in the martial world.

Secondly, Dyon was a Planet Lord with the comprehension of a Moon Lord. No one within the tower quadrants could match him. Only some lofty individual from the outer quadrants might be able to. But, considering it took a minimum of ten years to travel from one universe to another even within this cluster of tower quadrants, one could imagine how long it would take to come here from the outer quadrants.

One might wonder, then, how Lilith and the other Devil Cultivators got here while still so young. And the answer to that lies within the planet grade teleportation formations Soul Rending Peak ancestors left behind. After doing so much business here, of course the Devil Cultivators would take one for themselves for the sake of convenience.

Unfortunately for them, that formation was now useless since Dyon cut off the connection.

This aside, Dyon's Soul Tag was impossible to replicate as far as those here were concerned.

Though, hearing about this Soul Tag, those in attendance felt apprehensive. A Soul Tag? They had to be tagged like animals? Wasn't that too…

"While the Soul Tag has a crude name, its uses are very benign." Dyon spoke, reading their minds.

"A Soul Tag can 1) Identify a person, 2) act as an entry pass to freely enter and leave this universe, 3) it acts as a calculator of merit points and a policer of the legitimacy of those merit points, 4) it can track your location and 5) it ties you to up to two Clans."

"Isn't that a bit too… Invasive…?" One of the Clan Leaders couldn't help but ask.

Maybe acting as an identity and a pass was fine, but the mere act of calculating merit points means that the tags are capable of monitoring you. This is only made worse after knowing it can track location as well.

Dyon nodded, understand their points of view.

"It may seem so, but once you understand how it works, it's actually not very invasive at all.

"The location tracker is a feature that is only activated in case an individual commits an irredeemable crime and is also something only the Clan of the individual controls. I will not have access to this information.

"If I should want access to this, the burden of proof will be on my shoulders to prove that it is necessary.

"In addition, there will be regulations on individual Clans in utilizing this information as well. The formation that needs to be used can only be activated by a Comet Lord, of which, as things stand now, we only have two. One of which is me, and the other of which is my wife.

"For now, if you want to track an individual, you can only ask one of the two of us. In that case, you will need to provide proof of why you need to access such information.

"I know what you're all thinking." Dyon said after a pause. "With the power in my hands, and with none of you having such expertise, it's impossible for you to know whether or not I abuse this power. But, this is why the Soul Tag alerts its owner of the fact he or she is being tracked once it occurs, this in turn also alerts the Clan."

Though this explanation wasn't airtight, the Clan Leaders could only accept it.

This plan of Dyon's had another layer hidden within it as well… 'You want the right to know whether I'm cheating you or not, right? Then produce Comet Lords for yourselves!'

Only when his subordinates were fueled with the desire to gain strength for themselves could Dyon's dreams be accomplished.

Dyon smiled lightly, knowing that his plans were coming together slowly.

"Then, there's the matter of calculating merit points. This matter isn't as invasive as you believe either.

"Those of you from Earth are already aware of how this works. When you sent your youths to campaign, it was the Sapientia that provided a tag in order to calculate points."

Those from Earth came to realization. Back when Dyon fought in the world tournament, wasn't he ranked first? How did that happen? Wasn't it because the Sapientia utilized a merit calculating system much like that one?

The only difference between this and that was that this Soul Tag would follow one for life while the Sapientia Tag only activated during Campaigns.

"This merit calculating system is only a passive observer. If it detects a merit, it will reward points. As for demerits, it has no ability to calculate such a thing. This is because the system can be turned on and off at a person's leisure. Although I have the ability to have it calculate demerits as well and always be on, I've deemed it inappropriate to do so."

The Clan Leaders nodded in agreement, appreciating Dyon's point of view.

"Should you accidentally forget to turn on your system or are unable to before an act of merit, then you can always provide proof of your feat through a system of Administration to be awarded your points."

Dyon looked around for a moment before he continued.

"Now, the main purpose of these Soul Tags aside from what's already been said is their ability to affiliate an individual with a certain Clan.

"Upon birth, a child will be connected to two families. The family of their mother and that of their father. The merit points a child earns can go to either clan depending on their choices. However, it must be noted that should this child have a child of their own in the future, this newborn will only be affiliated with that parent's paternal clan.

"For example, if a woman of an Elvin Clan marries a man of the Pakal Clan, their child will be affiliated with only the paternal clans of their parents by default. Should they want to acknowledge the maternal clans of their parents instead, they can once more go through a channel of Administration.

"This system is put in place so that individuals cannot become merit mercenaries, selling off their merits to the highest bidder, not because I believe that a father's clan is more important."
