So, when they learned that Luna was likely hiding a child of her own, they saw an opportunity. They said that this was for the Timeless Library, but everyone shrewd enough knew well that the main purpose was to control Luna herself!
Now, everything was seemingly backfiring. The situation had suddenly been ripped completely out of their control.
Not long after she finished these words, the Heavenly Sprite elder and the others of their faction began to shimmer out of existence.
"I hope we find your answer satisfactory, or else, effective three days from now, the Heavenly Sprites will leave the Sprite Alliance and declare war."
"Are you crazy!"
A roar sounded as they disappeared, but it only received a smirk of disdain.

Dyon, who reclining leisurely in a hammock with Amphorae still asleep on his chest smiled as the sound of broken records continued.
"Who said bending the truth a little every hurt somebody?" He mused to himself.
"No plan, huh?" Clara glared at Dyon.
"I told you I had a plan, you just didn't believe me."
"You…" Clara suddenly felt irritated.
Dyon had indeed said he had a plan, but he had only said that plan was wreaking havoc. If it wasn't for the fact their soul were melded as one and she could see certain aspects of his mind during the last few moments, she really would have continued believing that Dyon came here to do nothing but kick up a fuss.
"Oh come on, I'm more mature than that. I'm the mighty leader of hundred of universes, I am not so petty."
Clara rolled her eyes.
"If I really wanted to kick up a fuss, my target would have been the Nephilim Gathering."
Dyon had obviously known about the Nephilim Gathering long ago, not because of anything left by Jade, but rather because of Damaris. After all, even if others didn't know where all the Dragons had disappeared to, since his family was so close with the Crystal Dragon Clan, they wouldn't be left in the dark.
"Knowing you, you're going to do both." Ri said lightly.
Dyon sighed. "Not this time. I can't afford to show off too much of my strength right now, there seem to be a few people lurking who want to know exactly what my limits are… I think I'll leave a little surprise for them.
"The Nephilim Gathering isn't just for the younger generation anymore. I hear there's even Higher Existence participants for some portions. I can't join such a stage without being willing to give it my all… I don't like the idea of losing on purpose."
Madeleine giggled at these words. Maybe only Dyon would ignore the fact there are Higher Existences participating to say that he wouldn't want to lose on purpose to them. He really was too much.
"So we're not going?"
"Of course we're going to go! I have a feeling that that brat Rose and Jade have been hiding away in the Nephilim Clan's territory all this time. It's too dangerous for them to stay alone, we need to bring them back."
Ri, Clara and Madeleine nodded solemnly, agreeing fully. They too felt thankful to Jade for giving them this second chance in exchange for her life. The times were too volatile for them to be alone.
But, who knew how Rose would feel about being called a brat considering her current strength?
"Ah, looks like they still couldn't resist." Dyon smirked, sensing eight auras entering the tower. "And it seems they've gotten smarter too, at least they want to lose outside the public eye this time…"
...
'Ai, these elders never learn. Even after my well planned warning, they still decided to send these bumbling fools.'
It only took several split seconds for the so-called Battle Gods to make their way into Dyon's field of vision. But, to Dyon's Immortal Sense, it was almost as though he had spent days observing them.
It was unfortunate, but it seemed the gap between them and his Demon Generals still existed. This was to be expected. After all, his Vice Commanders had only just broken into the dao realm, while his other Demon Generals were still consolidating their foundations and readying for the perfect opportunity to breakthrough.
As things stood now, only he and Amphorae could match these eight with ease. Madeleine and Ri could likely do so if they pulled out all of their trump cards, but in a place like this, it wasn't worth it. As for Clara, she was still a bit too green though she was rapidly getting better.
In the end, Dyon decided wasting his time with this fight was meaningless. Since the Sprite Alliance still didn't understand their place…
A savage Presence that enveloped the whole of the Mystical World suddenly erupted.
The eight geniuses who had been confidently making their way forward suddenly felt their footsteps faulter. As though they were trudging through quicksand, their sense of time began slowed and warped, their knees buckling and trembling.
"It seems the Sprite Alliance doesn't take the words of the Unblemished One seriously. In that case, you can all stay here and kneel until they come to get you."
**
In a corner of the Nephilim Alliance's territory, two women Dyon had in his thoughts were training deep within a forest of obsidian rocks.
Rose's features had grown far more mature, but her stature was still quite petite. She had a stern, but beautiful expression as she watched on toward Jade's battle with what seemed like an obsidian scaled panther.
As for Jade, her expression was serious as well, cold, even.
Her hair had become gold from its previous silver, much like her former timeline's self, her curves were just as voluptuous and proud as Dyon would remember, and her pointed ears had an exotic and foreign air to them that could make any man's blood boil.
A dazzling golden moon suddenly appeared to Jade's back, her body moving in a lithe and flexible manner as she weaved through the strikes of the beast that must have been several kilometers tall.
