For a man, there would always be a place in your heart for the mother of your child, it was something impossible neglect. But, Dyon had four wives, he couldn't disregard their feelings for one Luna. Though Alauna was his daughter, and he loved her, he loved Ri, Clara, Amphorae and Madeleine as well – their feelings mattered to him just as much.
So, seeing that Luna had found her own path lowered his own emotional weights.
Dyon and Luna's first meeting was quite complex. If he recalled correctly, he had gone to fight a Universe Tournament with King Viserion and the prize for first place was Luna's hand in marriage.
Originally, the tournament was meant to be a formality. The Scion of the Emperor God Viserion Clan was meant to win as he was already betrothed to Luna. However, Dyon, not knowing the reality of these matters, ended up taking first place.
In the end, the Moon Clan was forced to publicly give Luna's hand in marriage to Dyon, and Dyon, not wanting to embarrass Luna, didn't reject despite only having Amphorae in his heart. This was how their relationship began.
Due to her own family issues, Luna was coaxed by her father and the puppet masters who controlled him to take hold of Dyon, resulting in Dyon's father being captured and kicking off the events of the second trial.
Of course, Dyon didn't know how much of the second trial was truly him, or someone else, and maybe he would never know the truth of those matters, but, at the very least, this was Luna's truth.
"In that case… This is really good. Hold on, I'll be right back." Kissing Alauna on the forehead, Dyon rushed out under Luna's gaze.

"Really?" Clara's eyes sparkled.
"Of course, Luna can help you retrieve your talent."
Clara's cold eyes gave way to a light excitement as she held Dyon's hands with both of hers.
This was great news. Though Clara had been taking the Jade Queen Bee's honey every day, she still only had Fifth Grade meridians. The only reason she had been able to reach the celestial stage with a perfect foundation was purely because of the vast resources poured into her.
Unfortunately, after reaching the celestial realm, the appropriate resources became far more expensive, and Clara's lack of talent stalled her heavily.
Unlike Dyon, who managed to find his original constitution, Clara hadn't been able to find hers by luck as he had. As a result, it was far harder for her to awaken the true abilities of her constitutions.
This wasn't all either. Dyon had layered multiple of the same constitutions atop of each other, but Clara hadn't been able to do this, the simple reason being her Array Alchemy wasn't as good as Dyon's.
Back when Clara awakened her constitutions in order to increase her cultivation talent, Dyon's soul had still been sealed. There was nothing he could have done to help her skirt around the three-pill limit.
These unfortunate events culminated to the situation today. Though Dyon never hesitated to pour more resources into her, Clara couldn't help but feel inadequate, which was why she worked so hard on the Mortal Network and with the Association.
Of course, Dyon found her insecurities ridiculous. It could be argued that Clara had contributed the most to the Mortal Alliance. But, maybe, just like Eli, there were some things that could only be fixed with cultivation strength.
Since Luna had said so, Dyon jumped at the opportunity to help Clara, dragging her along back to Luna's room.
"You can really help?" Clara looked toward Luna expectantly.
Luna smiled. "Of course, of course. Just hand me the energy kernel and I'll find the talent meant for you two."
Clara seemed surprised by Luna's change as well. Usually, when she was faced with either her, Ri or Amphorae, she would lower her head and avert her gaze. This only resulted in her distance between the three of them growing. But now it seemed she had regained some clarity and some of the air of the Unblemished One she had cultivated for so long.
For a moment, Clara thought that this was maybe because of something Dyon said. But, after reading the room, this didn't seem to be the case.
In the end, Clara smiled.
"Thank you, truly."
Luna shook her head vehemently. "No, you don't have to thank me. I'm only doing what I should. I'll always be here to support the Sacharro Clan for as long as I can."
A layer of frost seemed to dissipate from Clara's eyes as she chose to say no more.
After nodding with satisfaction, Dyon communicated with The Seal, bringing out a very familiar ball of beautiful rainbow light.
"Ah!" Little Alauna looked toward the ball in awe. "So pretty!"
Luna concentrated, taking the ball of light into her hands. She could clearly feel that yin and yang side, and it only took her a moment to sense the energies that were perfectly in line with both Clara and Dyon.
Her delicate hands spread as she waded through billions of talent sources. Suddenly, her two fingers pinched, as though she was a witch pulling a string of fate taut.
In a flash, her wrist flicked forward, sending two streams of light into Clara and Dyon's bodies.
In the next instant, they were both enveloped by a gentle light as the Heavens seemed to open up.
Clara grunted in pain.
For Dyon, who had experienced his body being reconstructed so many times, he weathered the storm easily, but he couldn't help but feel strong concern for Clara.
Sometimes the difference between the body kernel and the energy kernel could be confusing because of the great boon the body kernel was for Dyon's energy cultivation talent. But the truth was that they were two separate entities.
Dyon's energy cultivation talent happened to be helped by his body kernel, or the constitutions he received from them, because his constitution reconstructed his body.
