Dyon took a deep breath and closed his eyes. To think the Sprite Alliance had five Higher Existences, six if Luna was counted, yet they weren't the strongest of the outer powers. Of Luna's words, this was what impacted him the most.
Still, he quickly collected himself. These were matters he had known long ago, but there was something about seeing the reality before him now that shook him. Maybe the scariest part wasn't that he was shaking from fear… He was shaking from excitement.
There was a keen confidence coursing through his veins. He felt like the higher the wall was, the more exciting the climb became.
"Is there something you'd like me to do?" Luna asked after Dyon remained silent.
In the end, Dyon shook his head.
"No. But, I don't think it's safe for you to remain here, I'd like you to leave a projection here and follow me to my Mortal Alliance, can you do that?"
Luna nodded without hesitation. "I can form a projection, yes. But is it really so unsafe here?"
"It's not the Sprite Alliance that worries me… It's the ones behind the Timeless Library. Those people are definitely aware that you all are Heaven's Children and that you're all here. I'm not sure how, but of this much, I'm certain."
Hearing this, Luna agreed. She had a deep trust in Dyon.
Dyon felt the safest place for the Heaven's Children was his inner world. Though he wanted to make use of them, he knew he had to be cautious. If they could find them once… They could do so again.
"If it's through you, I think I could enter and exit the Ancient Battlefield if what you say is true about it being your constitution's world."
That was when Luna said something Dyon would have never expected. If this was true, it could change everything.
"That's not all. As long as I'm prepared to hide our presences, no one would be able to find us. You don't need to worry. You can trust me."
Dyon looked into Luna's opal eyes. They were brimming with an energy… It wasn't pride, but rather… It was hope, hope that Dyon would choose to believe in her.
Contrary to her expectations, there was no hesitancy in Dyon's nod. He directly agreed to trust her.
Luna – Absolute Energy Control. There wasn't an energy in existence she couldn't control… Even if that energy was from the portal that connected Dyon to his constitution world. Dyon had suddenly gained the ability to move people in an out of the Ancient Battlefield.
Dyon had made massive gains during this trip. Not only had he gained the Heaven's Children, he had found his daughter, a precious little girl who was priceless.
Now, all that remained was to sweep through the 99 universes, the Uidah, the Pakal, the Ragnor, and the Five Clan Beast Alliance.
110 years remained.

"Wow, wow~."
Little Alauna looked around Soul Palace with a fascinated look on her face. She sat on Dyon's shoulders, greedily trying to take in everything around her.
In truth, Soul Palace wasn't much better than Unblemished Castle. Though Meiying's designs were bordering on heavenly, Luna's comprehension of energies didn't lose out to anyone, making her level of Feng Shui far deeper than Meiying's though she never truly reflected upon it.
The only reason Alauna reacted in this way was because she was a child. Of course she found new environments exciting, especially when it was a place her father called home.
"This is daddy's home, do you like it?" Dyon smiled widely, holding onto Alauna's small ankles to make sure she wouldn't fall from his shoulders. Though, he was definitely being overprotective in that regard. With Alauna's level of body control, it was nearly impossible for such a thing to happen.
"I like it, I like it!" Considering how happy Alauna was, even if Dyon brought her to a garbage dump she'd react in the same way.
Luna followed behind Dyon nervously as the six Heaven's Children also followed behind her. They could see the nervousness of their Mistress and could only wonder why she was acting like this.
It was then that a number of swarming individuals converged upon the Soul Palace's grand hall. The activation of a planet grade formation wasn't something that happened every day, after all. The fact it had could only mean that something big had happened.
"Dyon? Dyon!"
Clara's body blurred. Her Wind Spirit constitution had clearly taken a massive leap forward after she entered the celestial realm because even Dyon was astonished by her speed. She crossed what should have been several dozen meters in less than the blink of an eye, crashing into Dyon's body.
Considering Clara's normal disposition, it was obvious how much she had worried over the past almost year. For Dyon to swear to bring Eli back, only to not come back himself, it was a devastating blow to the Sacharro Clan. The center of their world had suddenly been taken away.
To make matters worse, Eli could only be honest with them as well. Because Dyon hadn't allowed his wives to teleport to his inner world, for fear that they would worry too much, the information the received was squeezed from Eli himself.
When they heard that Dyon was acting weirdly, even ignoring Eli to a large extent, they began to worry more fiercely, especially when they learned that there was an individual among the Heaven's Children capable of manipulating emotions.
But here Dyon was, with a big smile on his face as though nothing had happened.
Keeping one hand on Alauna's little ankle, Dyon used the other to wrap around Clara's body.
"It's okay, I'm here now."
The Heaven's Children watched this scene with weird expressions on their faces, looking from their Mistress, to Clara, back to their Mistress, and then to Dyon. Suddenly, they both understood and didn't understand why Luna had such a nervous expression.
They understood because apparently the father of their Mistress's child had more than one woman but… They couldn't understand how a man could dare to have another woman besides the Unblemished One.
