Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

Dyon shook his head. "There's no point in harping on it. Knowing Amphorae, as long as she hears about the existence of this gathering, she will go even without my saying anything. She'll do us justice. The middle dao experts who can match her strength shouldn't exceed my finger count."

BOOM!

The loud bang of something exploding caught Dyon off guard. He had been focusing on recovering his mental energy while suppressing the flame sprite, so he almost missed it when Little Rain's chain cage broke apart.

However, the scene he saw was incredulous.

Little Rain, a small illusory image of his toddler self, was wrapping his small lips around a struggling bulb of light.

"Isn't this cannibalism…" Dyon muttered to himself. To make matters worse, Little Rain was making such a silly face with his own visage. Dyon found it hard not to be embarrassed under Madeleine's giggling.

Dyon's eyes widened. With a thought, he shot forward, catching Little Rain before he fell out of the air. The little guy had fallen into such a peaceful sleep, completely forgetting that falling into the den of beasts below would be the end of him.

Dyon shook his head, watching what amounted to himself sleeping. He couldn't help but admit Little Rain did look adorable right now. Other than the ball of red light that rested within his stomach, he looked no different that a normal child. He even became less illusory and more corporeal.

"What happened?" Dyon couldn't help but ask the hamster twins in confusion.

"It seems that Little Rain has a rare characteristic among Sprites. He's able to devour those of his species to gain new attributes. Once he wakes up, he'll be the first dual attribute sprite in quite a long time." Little Yin said in surprise.

"This won't affect him, will it?" Dyon felt slightly uncomfortable despite the fact this should have been great news. What other Empire could boast having the support of a dual attribute sprite? Well, for all Dyon knew, many of them could, but at the very least, this was a good and rare thing.

However, maybe it was Dyon's mortal realm thoughts speaking through the loudest, but he found the idea of devouring those of your own race for the sake of gaining strength a little too… evil.

In one arm, he held the little boy to his chest, and in the other, he held Little Rain's broad sword turned surfboard. It was likely because this small boy shared his face, but he didn't want Little Rain to go down a demented path even if it benefited him.

"There's nothing to worry about." Little Yang said in a rare moment of sympathy. "Beasts eat other beasts for the sake of gaining strength, but that doesn't necessarily mean they've gone down an evil path. Just consider it to be a difference in culture. Since Little Rain has decided to take your face, he's already chosen to model himself after you. He'll take your values as his own for the most part, these are just his basic instincts."

Dyon released a deep breath. After allowing Little Rain to rest within his inner world, he turned a serious gaze toward the 13-key-hole door, unable to decide whether he should enter or wait for the mystical world to eject them.

Soon, he turned resolute. What was the point of all of this if he didn't press forward?

"You need to be careful, Dyon." Little Yin said, slightly worried. "There can only be one reason this Lord Creator spent so many years scheming in this small world."

"You know something?" Dyon guessed.

"I wasn't sure before, but now I am. The sovereign flame has only occurred naturally a single time in the history of all that has existed. No matter what, there has always been only a single sovereign flame core. Although there are numerous so-called 'Sovereign Sparks' that are sold at astronomical prices, there is only one sovereign core, a core that has disappeared for trillions of years.

"In all likelihood, this Lord Creator has invested trillions of years into forming a new core after the original was shattered… It's impossible that such an individual wouldn't have fail safes."

Dyon's jaw clenched lightly. Something was telling him that he had to enter, that all of the waiting and the biding of his time was for this moment. But, another, more rational part of him told him that the danger was too much.

The Lord Creator hadn't said or done anything as his descendants died because he couldn't. That meant the Laws he set on this world didn't allow him to leave this third phase sky castle.

With Little Rain unconscious, one of Dyon's trump cards had gone up in smoke. Then there was the fact that he didn't dare to take his beast companions in with him, and he was even more unwilling to take Madeleine. The issue was that there was no way his wife would agree to stay here while he went in.

After this battle, Dyon understood the limits of Madeleine's strength. Now being of the 12th Order and having her improved creation comprehension and constitution, she was able to fight even 8th Order peak celestials on even footing. In truth, she was slightly more powerful than the him now. If he didn't use Titan Emperor's Will, she could defeat him in a few moves.

However, when she was forced to face four 7th Order scions, she suffered greatly. Only with the support of the beast babies did she manage to come out relatively unscathed.

"You're going in, aren't you?" Madeleine's sweet voice drifted into Dyon's ears, causing him to unconsciously nod. "Then let's go."

Dyon turned his gaze toward his violet haired beauty, her eyes glittering like amethysts.

With a thought, Dyon grabbed her small hand, sending the beast babies into his inner world and waving the 13 keys toward the door.

An eerie snap spread through the skies, the soft creaking of doors not opened in several billion years filling their ears as a heat wave the like of which rivaled a star assaulted him.

Dyon and Madeleine walked hand in hand into a sea of blue flames.
