Book 7: Chapter 56: Rodents (2)

The entirety of Dyon’s home universe was undergoing a massive change.

Family’s quickly packed their valuable into storage treasures, large sects mined their energy stone reserves to the best of their ability, and ancient clans wracked their brains attempting to figure out the best way to protect the valuables they couldn’t take with them.

The Belmont Clan, especially, was faced with this harsh reality. The treasure of the Belmonts had always been the catacombs beneath their feet. Not only was it filled with spatial will, making it a prime abyssal core for many, but it always provided access to numerous Legacy Worlds left over from the war that took place thousands of years ago.

Still… They could only force themselves to come to terms with the idea of leaving all of this behind.

Of course, Dyon promised easy back and forth travel, but those more astute individuals understood his meaning. The resources that were once monopolized by individual families would now become the basis for Dyon’s empire as a whole.

“This is it?” Dyon frowned as he stood in the basement floor of Mino Palace, staring at their ancient ruin.

“Mm. Long ago, my Demon Bull ancestors were chased out of the beast quadrants and ended up here.

“Without the Celestial Deer Sect to maintain order in the quadrant, everything fell into chaos and Beast Kings and Emperors wanted to assert their dominance. Unfortunately, my Mino Clan lost out because we were too humane.”

“Beast quadrants?” Dyon asked.

“Yes. Back then, the Ragnor and Pakal clans had just started to rise up, the Uidah hadn’t even conquered a single universe yet and most the quadrants were controlled by Beast Clans.”

“I see…”

“In truth, it was because of this treasure that my Mino Clan was able to escape. But it was also because of this treasure that we were chased out to begin with.”

“You said that this was only half of it? How do you know that?”

“Everything I know was written in the ancient texts left behind by our ancestors. Every time I use it, I can also sense the other half, which is why I know that it also happens to be here as well…”

“Once controlled by the elves, right?…”

“Mm. According to the ancient texts, the Elves once had both halves, but one of their sages gave this half to my clan, believing that if they stayed together in the Elvin Kingdom, it would bring about disaster.”

“Why your clan?”

“You may not know this, but the Elves are the greatest species of a Beast Masters to ever exist. The only examples of dragons being subdued to serve a master in history was accomplished by the Elves.”

Dyon’s eyes flashed. He suddenly thought back to the vision of a world that Ri described to him…

She had said that she saw a beautiful landscape, filled with ancient trees and beloved by creatures of all kinds. She had even said that baby dragons followed by their parents flew happily in the skies… Dyon would be stupid to believe that these things were unrelated.

Currently, the only family in the Elvin Kingdom to rear beasts was the red-headed Grimbold family. In fact, the first time Dyon met Little Lyla, it was a member of the Grimbold family riding a Crystal-Toothed Tiger that tried to stop him from taking her.

However, it seemed to be a lost art to them… It was likely for this reason that the Elves were no longer in the peak species of this era.

“We Demon Bulls were a subordinate clan to the Elves in the Golden Era. It wasn’t until later than our bloodline became diluted by humans marrying into our main line, but our clan was never strict with such things. Unfortunately, it was because we were kind-hearted that we weakened…”

Dyon sighed. He found arranged and controlled marriages disgusting, but he would be a fool to say that it didn’t serve a real purpose.

Now that the Demon Bulls were more human than beast, it was no wonder that they were weaker than those beast clans.

“Then, what exactly does this treasure do?” Dyon asked curiously.

A few years ago, Dyon allowed Zabia to form a team with the disciples of Madeleine’s parents to go out and search for his Jafari family’s treasure.

From Dyon’s understanding, the Jafari family existed ever since the Chaotic Era, while his Grand Teacher was born between the Primordial Era and the Golden Era. Somehow, over that time, the treasure of the Jafari family landed in the hands of the Elves, triggering the Golden Era.

Afterward, the Golden, and shortest, Era came to an end when this treasure was split. This was likely also related to the fall of the elves as well…

That said, unlike others, Dyon didn’t have to try and stumble around to learn this history, he had the celestial hamster twins. The moment these halves came together when Zabia accomplished his goals, the truth would be revealed. For now.. He’d have to make due with a portion of the story.

“It’s probably one of the greatest defensive treasures ever created and the likely the reason the Elves and Dwarves were able to rise up so quickly… In fact, if it hadn’t been for the Dwarves, it’s unlikely that the Elves would have been able to use it so effectively.

“With this treasure, I was able to block attacks from the dao formation expert, albeit only for my daughter…”

The more King Mino explained, the brighter Dyon’s eyes grew. In the end, he laughed so uproariously that he too shook Mino Palace.
