Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God
chapter-855

But, what they didn't know was that Dyon would never allow his wife to go anywhere without protection.

The Demon Sage's Tower immediately protected Ri as she looked down on them all with disdain. And then, it flashed away to the Epistemic Tower.

Even though the Void clan were space will masters, they were completely unable to lock down the space and could only watch as Ri disappeared.

Of course, they had sent their younger generation to chase after Ri and bring her back since they could no longer enter those Epistemic Tower floors since they had already reached the dao floors and because of the rule that those who ascended could no longer descend.

Unfortunately, the key wielder of their quadrant was a member of the Shruti Clan. And who would have imagined that even though they tried to provide ridiculous amounts of compensation in exchange for Saru kicking Ri out, that Saru would actually state that Ri was her big sister and no one was allowed to harm her!

The Supreme Kitsune Clan could only mash their teeth in anger at their own incompetence. They had truly underestimated this little girl. They had assumed that she was easy prey and easy to manipulate, but who would have known that she had such a power backer. What they didn't know was that her powerful backer wasn't Saru, but rather her husband!

Days after Ri learned that the Kitsune clan had tried to bribe Saru into kicking her out, as this was a power the key wielder held, she sneered, inwardly praising her husband for seeing so far ahead.

At that point, she couldn't help but touch her opaque visor with her delicate hand, trembling in rage. There would be a day where she eradicated the Void family, or else she would never be able to settle this grudge.

After that, taking the name of the Snow family temporarily, Alexandria Snow sent a clear message to the Void family higher ups. It was simple: 'Wash your necks.'

As much as Ri wanted to keep the Sacharro name, she knew she couldn't. This was because the Snow family had searched for her mother previously, as such, they knew what universe Ri came from and could thus find the Epistemic Tower in this way.

If Ri was to make her affiliations clear, the Void family would connect Ri with her 'traitor' mother.

Currently, the Snow Clan was hiding this truth because Ri and her mother were the most talented young women in their history, they couldn't have a falling out with them. In addition, they knew that this was the chance for their Snow family to rise up. If they angered Ri by putting her home universe in danger, what was stopping Ri from cutting ties from their Snow family as well?

So, the Snow family hid the relationship between Ri and her mother. This was very easy because despite being a comparatively weak family, the Snow family still had millions of members. As long as Ri didn't make her relationship with Dyon and their universe clear, their home would be safe.

Then, when the time was right, she would storm the Kitsune Clan with her husband by her side!

As Dyon was sure he was breathing harder than he ever had before, unbeknownst to him, the ranking of the Celestial Deer Quadrant was sky-rocketing.

Although Ri, Madeleine and Clara didn't list their trials under their home universe, Delia, along with the 3000 Demon Generals definitely had. In addition to that, Dyon allowed Thor to undergo his trials alone with the youth of the Daiyu. He now treated the Daiyu as slaves, but that didn't mean he wanted incompetent subordinates. But, Dyon kept Vidar in chains.

In truth, Dyon had irreconcilable hatred with both Vidar Ragnor and Daiyu Chenglei. However, because of his promise to the Daiyu ancestor, he decided to keep Chenglei on a short leash while also nurturing him to a certain extent. However, Dyon felt no such obligation for Vidar. Instead, he allowed him to rot in a holding cell until he could play his role in Dyon's plans.

Because the Ragnors only had four faith seed wielders in all their history, they would without a doubt place heavy importance on Vidar. This importance was something Dyon knew he could take advantage of.

Of course, in order for his plan to work, he still needed to find a way to remove the restrictions on Thor's faith seed to truly allow him to be free, but that was a problem for another day.

This aside, it wasn't a surprise that the Demon Generals performed well. Considering they were absolute geniuses plucked from their original times and taken to the modern world, it was no wonder their performances were so perfect. As for Chenglei, Zabia and Thor, their potential has already long been seen, of course they performed well as well.

The vast majority of them became Dukes within a year, while the rest finished before the end of the third. Afterward, all those who finished within a year proceeded to the King trials, and just as Dyon was completing his hundredth beast wave, the first of them were beginning to come out, causing the Celestial Deer Quadrant ranking to inexplicably go up once again, causing the quadrants who had become complacent to once again feel as though they were walking on egg shells.

Within the first few months, they shot up from the 67th spot, to the 61st.

When people rushed to the third-place rankings to see if Dyon's name had appeared, they were shocked to find out that there were no changes to the God tier rankings at all. What was going on?!

It was only at that time they thought of a frightening possibility: maybe geniuses other than Dyon…

They were all aware of the fact that the only tiers that could make such drastic changes in a quadrant's ranking were the King, Emperor and God rankings. And, the fact that no new names had appeared on the top 100 for any of their 15 ranking stones, that meant that it was multiple geniuses passing at once!

The scariest part was that, if they all assumed that everyone from that quadrant had begun their trials at the same time, after accounting for the years non-key wielders would have to spend taking the Duke trials, there could very well be more ranking changes to come!

Finally, those spectating had jumped to the correct conclusion.

After Dyon left, the Demon Generals had to restart their cultivation from scratch so that they could all practice the Inner World: Sanctuary technique. Although they had little experience in the martial world outside of battle, they understood that cultivation techniques were precious. In fact, they were so precious that for most of their lives, they had to create and experiment with their own. It wasn't that the Demon Sage didn't have cultivation techniques for them, it was rather that he had sealed all of his possessions in the Chaos Universe. So, they had no choice.

That aside, it made them very grateful toward Dyon. They could all see just how amazing Dyon's cultivation technique was, yet he shared it with them all without reserve. Dyon's kindness was engraved in their hearts, so the cultivated with all of their might.

As one might expect, even for geniuses like them, cultivating [Inner World: Sanctuary] was difficult beyond belief. However, they weren't known as geniuses of their times for no reason.

Unlike Dyon who took months to reach the peak of the foundation stage, even the slowest of them only took a few weeks despite how thorough and taxing the technique was. However, also unlike Dyon, they didn't receive a meridian implant short-cut. As such, in order to reach the peak of meridian formation, they labored for months before they eventually all filled 108 meridians. It was only after that, that they began their trials.

Unfortunately, although they were all worthy of being easily within the top 100 rankings of almost every trial they took if they had been at their full power, they couldn't manage to perform as well as Dyon had because unlike Dyon, they didn't have the Demon Sage's blood essence to boost their body cultivation. As such, they ranked fairly poorly as compared to their full potential due to their wills, soul and energy cultivation being sealed.

However, this was within Dyon's plans as well. He wanted his universe to be dazzling and overbearing, but to be too much so would only result in them being stamped out before reaching their full potential. In the past, Dyon wouldn't have cared and would have boldly faced off against any opponent willing to come, but he was also trying to grow up and see the bigger picture.

In order to protect everyone behind him, Dyon would take the full brunt of the public eye, while he secretly cultivated his Empire to become the greatest that had ever existed.
