Junior really was the key reason he had been able to remain calm. Yet he was actually here!?
"Hey, you need to calm down." Junior said with a slight smirk Dyon had never been on the receiving end of.
He suddenly realized that his face, despite how handsome it was, truly had a way of pissing people off.
Dyon slammed Junior into the cave walls, causing the den he had called home for so long already to quake and tremble.
"Calm down?! You should know exactly why I can't!"
"Dyon!"
Saru and Lilith tried to separate the two men, but despite their vast improvement, they were still several levels beneath Dyon despite the fact Dyon hadn't improved even a single step in the last ten years.
However, they couldn't just stand around and do nothing. They could tell this wasn't a joke, Dyon really was pissed off to the extreme. Their eyes watered, able to understand the torrent of emotions coursing through his heart.
Looking at the cave around them, they could tell that Dyon hadn't moved a single inch in pursuit of his goal. There was nothing on his mind besides returning to his family. But, the only way for that to happen was if they could remain safe in his absence.
Ten years of seclusion was nothing to most Dao Experts, but this was contingent on their great age. Dyon was ultimately still barely 200 years old. Such a fact only applied to Dao Formation experts who lived hundreds of thousands of years. They knew well that Dyon's mental energy hadn't been tempered to such a level yet.
The only way he secluded himself so long without losing his mind was purely due to his own will power. A reality that made their hearts tremble.
"Dammit!"
Dyon's arm flexed, shoving Junior further into the wall. Maybe if he still had his eyes, they would be blazing with fury.
"If you were going to come and could even take two with you, why didn't you take them all?! What are you playing at?!"
Junior hardly reacted to Dyon's rage. In fact, all he did was sigh and shook his head.
"… Was I always so brash in my youth…?" Junior mumbled.
Lilith turned her head to avoid rolling her eyes. This same Junior obliterated a solar system before her just a few years back in a fit of rage. What did he mean by "in my youth"? He was clearly still just as brash.
"What did you just say?" Dyon frowned.
"Nothing. It doesn't matter. All you need to know is that I'm here to help you."
"Junior, even if I call you brother, there's a limit to everything. Even if I don't have the heart to kill you, don't think I won't shove you in a cell for a few thousand years if you keep pissing me off. Since when did I need your help?!"
"I'm here to give you my Death God Body." Junior said plainly.
"…"
Dyon's grip involuntarily loosened.
"What did you just say?"
Junior didn't respond, slapping Dyon's hand away.
"Stop saying stupid things." Dyon's frown deepened. "I've already decided to sever my path from the Heavens. Adding another constitution tied to it will be of no help to me. I also have no intention of accepting such a thing even if it wasn't like this."
"You're wrong." Junior said calmly. "The bones of a Death God are exactly the last piece you need."
"You… What are you talking about?"
Maybe these were the most questions Dyon had ever asked in his lifetime. He wasn't used to being confused or having others lead him by the nose. Even those far more powerful than him usually danced on his palms to his own rhythm.
"Titan Diamond Body for your flesh. Silver Mirror Constitution for your meridians. Eternity's Balance for your soul. Death God Body for your bones."
Junior poked Dyon's chest and forehead with every line he spoke as though reminding Dyon just what part of his body was where. He didn't seem to notice that Dyon froze completely.
"Wha…"
"Before you speak, put on some damn clothes. There are two innocent fairies here."
Dyon looked down at himself, seemingly only now realizing that he hadn't actually bothered to wear much of anything in the last ten years. But, considering his personality, he wasn't exactly embarrassed by the fact. He only casually conjured some sweatpants up for the sake of Saru and Lilith's blushing faces.
Dyon had too many questions. Why was it that they were here? Even if this was Junior's reason, what was the point of bringing Saru and Lilith? Also, why did the two women seem to weather the suppression of the Immortal Plane just as easily as he did? Saru being an Overlord would make things a bit easier, but Lilith was still at the Peak Dao Realm.
However, he didn't ask about any of these things because what Junior had just said was too shocking.
"What is that supposed to mean? What is the purpose of these things if they're all connected to the Heavens one way or another?"
"Obviously it's so that you can fuse them into one, creating a new constitution that's not under the control of the Heavens at all."
"Create a new constitution? Are you insane? I just spent ten years creating a one meter wide world that amounts to nothing more than a big rock. I pass out every single time I try to observe my own body with the highest detail. How the hell am I supposed to create a new constitution?"
"Tough luck, it's your only choice. No matter how much you want to tear yourself away from the Heavens, talent ultimately matters. It's the cruel truth. If you really did something as foolish as stripping your constitutions away from yourself, you'd become even more of an ant than you already are to this place
"In truth, you've already partially done it. You technically have two Titan Diamond Body constitutions, three Eternity's Balance constitutions and ten Silver Mirror constitutions. They're already mutated versions of themselves, which by extension weakens the control the Heavens have over them.
"However, I only have this singular Death God Body. After we fuse, if you don't take that opportunity to accelerate your evolution into something new, then the grip the Heavens have on you will actually tighten."
