Reaper of the Martial World

Book 9: Chapter 47: Regret 2

Dyon noticed some other good seedlings among his home universe’s people. But, he could only sigh when he found his own people struggling.

Dyon should have noticed the outstanding talent of his people long ago, but he hadn’t precisely because his hope in Allura, Sibyl, and Kedar, the first three babies born after the shattering of the seal, had never been realized.

The three came to the martial world, full of confidence and hope, but the reality of this cruel rule shook them all deeply.

Dyon didn’t blame them. In fact, he blamed himself. He had uprooted them from their world, but then he disappeared to go and deal with his own problems. Was that the disposition a leader should have?

Their matter reminded him eerily of his failure to help Mia and Bella. Though the twins were alive now, they had no memories of the past and even acted differently in comparison to their former selves. It was nothing but a moral victory that their bodies still existed in this plane, the reality was that the Mia and Bella Dyon once knew had long since died.

The three of them were geniuses, but they never reached their full potential. To a cultivator, one’s mentality was just as important as their talent. If not, why would dao hearts exist? Why would comprehension be such an important part of progressing?

Dyon left them to their own devices, believing they would find their own way just like he found his. But, in doing so, he had failed them.

Dyon could only watched as they cowered along the back line of the army. They should have died long ago under these circumstances, but they were being heavily protected by Thadius who paid special attention to them. Knowing that they were his people, Thadius likely felt he couldn’t allow them to die like this.

Dyon sighed once more and turned his attention away. He didn’t have an immediate solution for the problem they faced… He could only try to slowly change things in the future. Maybe he could try to pick a disciple amongst them…

The people of Celestial Universe weren’t the only talents Dyon had under his wing, there were also the people of Soul Universe.

Unseen Peak, Slaughter Peak, Holy Peak, Gliding Peak, and Blooming Peak had all fostered some good seedlings. They weren’t quite good enough to join Soul Rending Peak, but they were definitely a step above the normal talents of the Five Beast Clan Alliance.

However, the talents of Soul Rending Peak were outstanding. The contrast between their performance and that of the mortals made Dyon nod with satisfaction. At least not everything was going poorly.

Ryu, Giralda’s son and a young man who was a mute, was a particularly gratifying talent. His control of natural breath reached a depth even his mother couldn’t match. It was as though his silence allowed him to be more perfectly in tune with his surroundings.

Others couldn’t notice it, but Dyon realized that Ryu was actually communicating with the universe’s Gama energy with his every movement, using it to fuel his strength.

Normally Crystal Dragons would have to breathe their Natural Breath to use this ability, but Ryu’s understanding seemed far deeper.

Though he remained in his base human form, his strength was undeniable as he swung the solid black rod in his hand.

The other two S rank talents aside from Ryu weren’t yet mature enough to take the battlefield, but Dyon had hopes for them as well.

Virvor, who had recovered long ago, once more wielded his saber with a fiery passion. His experience with the Sapientia had made him swear to himself that he would never be in a position again.

His fighting style was odd. Dyon wondered how he managed to appear like a saintly monk despite reaping several lives in succession.

The Caedes Clan. They once ruled over Soul Universe alongside the Jafari Clan until they allied with the 99 universes and The Cathedral to chase them out. But now, they had their own talents bolstering their position, namely Donari, wielder of Assassin’s Symphony.

As one of the few constitutions that could be upgraded, Donari was in a special position on this battlefield. Absorbing the air of killing intent made him feel right at home. If Dyon continued to war, it likely wouldn’t be long before Donari reached the Heaven Grade of his constitution and led his family onward to glory. It seemed Dyon’s decision to take key wielding responsibilities from him had lit a flame beneath him.

Dyon also faintly remembered that Donari’s mother was a commoner his father took a liking to. She seemingly had the ability to birth great talents. But, because she didn’t truly love Donari’s father, she didn’t birth any children for him after Donari.

[Author’s Note: The talent of Donari’s mother was mentioned long ago, thought I would take this opportunity to wrap up that plot point]

After some investigation during Soul Universe’s census and the distribution of the Soul Tags, Dyon found out both mother and son had constitutions with multiple iterations across the Earth, Heaven and God grade boundaries. It turned out Eilei Caedes had the Fruit of Life constitution.

The good news was that this constitution wasn’t only useful for birthing talents and had many other applications. This gave the Caedes Clan two talents Dyon found to be worth nurturing though Eilei wasn’t on the battlefield currently.

Finally, there were the Devil Path Geniuses. Dyon had no need to watch over them. After planting the Devil Vein within Chaos Universe, Lilith had shown great leaps in strength. From the lower celestial realm, she reached the higher celestial realm in just 2 years. Such speed was astounding.

Still, until he took control of the Devil Path cultivators for himself, Dyon had no intention of passing on the talent of Mortals to them.

Like this the battle came to a close and Dyon pointed his spear toward the four remaining core universes. Without suspense, they all fell…
