Reaper of the Martial World

Book 6: Chapter 249: Contract (2)

The process wasn’t particularly painful. In fact, Dyon felt a keen sense of calm overtake him, as though the universe had opened up to him.

At that moment, he suddenly understood that this drop of blood that the Celestial Hamster twins gave him wasn’t regular blood essence.

Unlike the norm, each Celestial Hamster only had one drop of this blood.

What Dyon came to understand was that the abilities of the Celestial Hamster weren’t just a blessing, they were also a curse. The power to stand above the normal ties that bound humans and beast alike in time also made it very difficult for the Celestial Hamster race to put their mark down on history.

If things continued like this for the Celestial Hamster, their lineage would eventually be wiped from existence. To exist outside the bounds of time would also make certain that no one would remember them.

As a result, the Celestial Hamster ancestors decided to anchor themselves to worthy humans. In this way, the legends of the Celestial Hamster race leading candidates to stand atop the world was born.

On one hand, this ensured that the Celestial Hamster race would never be forgotten, and on the other, it ensured that the race could continue doing what they loved to do: learn about history. At the same time, they could also make history themselves, fulfilling their purpose for existing.

The blood that the Celestial Hamsters gave to Dyon was this very anchor. Using Dyon’s placement in history, the twins would bind themselves to Dyon’s timeline, allowing them to become tethered to reality.

In conjunction with this, Dyon gained an ethereal experience that helped him gain enlightenment into what it meant to exist outside the bounds of time. There was no doubt that in the future, his affinity for time will would skyrocket.

Hours later, Dyon finally opened his eyes, releasing a breath of satisfaction. When he looked down on the adorable brother-sister pair, he felt that they didn’t feel as out of reach as they had before.

The twins also sighed a breath of relief, although they hadn’t made it obvious before, it took a lot of energy out of them to have their bodies appear. But, now, it wasn’t so difficult anymore. Although only Dyon could see them right now, if they wanted others to see them, it would be easier.

From now on, the heights that Dyon reached would decide how great their impact on history was.

However, when they were thinking this, they suddenly gasped when they looked at Dyon. The twins looked at each, unable to hide the happiness in their eyes. They were absolutely certain now that they had chosen correctly. Forget them, even if their ancestor was here personally, he would be falling over himself in happiness.

Dyon didn’t notice this interaction between the two siblings because he had already begun formulating a new plan.

“Little Yang, Little Yin, you can leave this cage, right?” Dyon suddenly asked, after pondering a bit.

“Of course,” Little Yin giggled, “The only thing completely unrestricted by space is time. They are not equals. There’s a reason Void will is ranked above Space will.”

Dyon nodded, that conformed with the definition of time his mortal realm had. Units of time weren’t bound by space and dimension, it existed separately. A user of time will would run circles around an expert of space will.

That said, Dyon still found space will to be the sharpest will in existence. It brought his weapon’s wills to another level, so he didn’t ignore it like he did time will before.

Dyon took a deep breath. “We only have a week. But, if I give you guys the Demon Sage Tower to go and save everyone, we’ll be discovered before too long.”

It was obvious. If prisoners who had no chance of escaping suddenly started doing so, the Cathedral might decide to shut things down prematurely.

Of course, Dyon had planned for this, but that was before he was aware that Soul Market was actually spread across 20 or so asteroids instead of being held in a single place. The difficulty of it all scaled upwards considerably now…

Dyon suddenly regretted giving Eli the life ring now. He didn’t plan on having the twins by his side, but now he couldn’t take advantage of the fact there were two of them. There was only one tower, but two of them.

There was the possibility of handing the twins array plates that contained teleportation arrays, but there were two glaring problems with this approach. For one, Dyon’s master was in a deep sleep. If Dyon had to draw the arrays himself, he wouldn’t be able to draw the millions, if not billions, needed before time was up. Secondly, even if his master was awake, he definitely didn’t have that number of array plates on him now.

This didn’t even mention the fact they were floating in space on one of the 20 or so asteroids. The quality of array plate that would be needed to send even one person from here to Planet Cathedral was a price Dyon couldn’t even imagine, let alone that price multiplied by who knows how many soul slaves there were.

“How about you two start by scouting out all of the asteroids? I should be able to see everything from your eyes now that we’re connected.”

The twins nodded before disappearing in a flash.

“Oh yea, Big Brother, Big Sister Evangeline said to check your inner world thoroughly.” Little Yin’s voice called out from afar.
