Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God
chapter-1578

"What happened to those cages filled with people?"

"Only you can give permission to bring people to Soul Planet and my Inner World isn't large enough to fit the cages themselves, so they're still in Middle Sapientia City." Zaire answered. "Now that you're awake, we can bring them over whenever. The issue is that we don't have the means to open the cages."

"What happened to the key you used to release Virvor?"

"That was the only key Primus had, it could only open Virvor's cell. It seemed that the only reason he had that key was because it was his decision, along with Aritzia's, to capture Virvor.

"However, usually, the process of getting keys for those cages is far more complex. According to what Little Lyla found picking through Primus' brain, there's a complex chain of command they need to go through to open the cages. If we try to forcibly open the cages, the ones inside will lose their lives."

It was lucky that Madeleine didn't have enough strength back then to forcibly open the cage, and as such wasn't seen as a threat. Or else Virvor would have lost his life…

Dyon's frown deepened. It sounded to him like a team of researchers the Sapientia went through so much trouble to capture and cage would be incredibly useful to him. But, it seemed it would be far more trouble than he thought to take advantage of them.

Still, Dyon didn't worry too much. He had a lot of confidence in the [Dao of Array Alchemy]. He didn't believe there was a mechanism in existence he couldn't crack with its help.

"I'll make a trip and bring the cages here, then. We can figure out how to open them in time. They shouldn't starve since they're most likely cultivators. But, we also have to be cautious. We have no idea how powerful these individuals are or aren't."

Since these individuals were being held on the celestial floors, common sense would dictate that they were not older than 5000 years old and were likely not dao experts either, however, Dyon had an odd instinctual reaction to the cages they were kept in.

According to the Zaire, Madeleine had displayed the strength of a lower dao expert, yet still couldn't open the cage. This was definitely no normal cage.

Still, Dyon felt a bit… hesitant. Was fear of the cages being found of Planet Sapientia really enough of a reason for them to be stored on the middle tiers instead of their much safer home planet?

Dyon had a feeling that the story behind this was more complex. Maybe Primus simply didn't have the cache within his own clan to know the truth, so Lyla's ability was useless here. If they trusted him as much as they trusted Aritzia, he definitely would have had more than just the key for Virvor's jail cell on him.

"I have a feeling that they'll be useful to us, but our safety is more important than that. As for what we can do about the Sapientia…" Dyon's eyes sharpened, causing Soul Palace to quake. "There's no room for negotiation. We'll push them out until they have no place remaining the tower quadrants.

"I plan on entering Calming Lake very soon. I expect it to take one or two years." Dyon had long since given Giralda enough payment to enter for such a period of time, so he didn't feel like he was taking advantage at all. "I'll be leaving a clone of mine here, of course. He will be more than enough to deal with what we need to do.

"The first is to take advantage of the Open Phase. For now, we have two priorities in that regard. The first is the Mortal Library. Lead by example. I'll be flooding the library with pools of knowledge we can afford to share. The less power the Sapientia have over knowledge, the better.

"The second priority are pills. Even above weapons and arrays, panaceas are ranked first among the most important products of secondary professions. We'll crush them in this regard.

"Essence condensing pills, saint condensing pills, celestial condensing pills and dao condensing pills. We'll sell both low and high quality healing pills. The highest quality with be the comet grade Heaven Soothing pill, but they'll be in low quantities. We'll mass produce master grade Bone and Flesh Mending Pills.

"We'll sell pills appropriate for soul and body cultivation as well.

"Right now, what we need the least is money and resources. We have more than we can spend in countless millennia if we maintain this size and population. What we need to do is move forward and think about how to spend these funds efficiently. We need plans to increase population size and improve the foundation of our Mortal Alliance.

"This is the plan, but we'll have to go through proper procedures and call for a Mortal Meeting. Though, I don't believe anyone will take issue."

Dyon spoke quickly. His every word seemed to shatter the worries and trepidations of those around him. Even Amphorae who usually had an unfeeling expression on her lovely features smiled.

"But now… What was this you said about the Life Stone?"

Aoife and Stella who had been trying not ruin the proceedings realized that it was their turn to speak. After a quick explanation of what they experienced, Dyon's frown, which had finally relaxed, came back in full force.

'Death qi?... Why would death qi be here of all places? Could it be Junior?'

Junior's Death God constitution wasn't normal by any stretch. Due to the fact he had taken Orcus' bones, it was far easier for him to shoot through the grades of his constitution. This was only made more certain by the fact his soul talent should be just as powerful as Dyon's. Theoretically, that is.

But, it seemed too exaggerated for Junior to be the reason the Life Stone wasn't working properly.

From Dyon's memory, he remembered learning about the life stone from the statues in the Valley of Geniuses.
