Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

Dyon, the instigator behind all of this, was leisurely reading with his wife sleeping in his arms. It was as though the ringing bells had nothing to do with him.

These records were of course set by the geniuses of the Sprite Alliance who had consumed Martial Saint Pills, however, all of Dyon's Demon Generals had also consumed Martial Saint Pills.

On top of this, record were divided into the Lower, Middle, Higher, and Peak Dao Realm. Since all of the records his Demon Generals were annihilating were of the Lower Dao Realm, the Sprite Alliance truly stood not a single chance.

'Hm… I could break into the Middle Dao Realm and obliterate those records as well. Then I can let Amphorae deal with the Higher Dao Realm records… But that's unnecessary. Let's not push it too far for now, or else they'll feel justified in sending over their upper echelon. Instead…'

Dyon smiled lightly as he perused the Soul Tome in his hand. This little guy was truly too fickle.

The only technique it had ever shown Dyon was [Inner World: Sanctuary], and that was only after he called it useless all those years ago.

Dyon still remembered the day he gained the Soul Tome. He had just awakened his Manifestation and caused the Stone Monument of the Elves to shatter, revealing the Soul Tome hidden within.

When he first got the Soul Tome, he realized its pages were blank. So, he called it useless. In response, the Soul Tome gave him the greatest cultivation technique ever created.

Dyon didn't know why, but since that day, the Soul Tome hadn't shown him any other techniques. Maybe it was because he didn't try actively enough, or maybe there was another hidden reason. But none of that mattered now. Because the very first time Dyon tried to actively snatch another technique from its pages, the results were so great he grinned from ear to ear.

The second and third portion of [Soul Aid] was actually within the Soul Tome!

Dyon had earned [Soul Aid] from Orchus' core treasures. Since then, it had been a great help to him in battle. This auxiliary technique was one of the best for converting soul strength into combat prowess.

Unfortunately, back then, he had only found the first portion, with the whereabouts of the second and third completely unknown to him… until today!

The first portion was split into three stages, or what were called Degrees of Freedom.

With it, one gained three abilities. Tier One allowed to [Weaken] or [Strengthen]. Tier Two allowed one to [Accelerate] or [Slow]. Tier Three allowed one to [Shrink] or [Grow].

The simple explanation was that one used their soul in order to perform numerous calculations to find a path to change comprehended techniques. This allowed one's combat prowess to skyrocket by relying on the soul to increase strength.

The second and third portions also had their own heaven defying abilities.

The second portion also had three abilities. Tier Four allowed one to [Manipulate]. Tier Five allowed one to [Change]. Tier Six allowed one to [Layer].

[Manipulate] gave one the ability to control the shape and density of one's technique. This ability was an upgraded form of [Shrink] and [Grow].

When one used [Shrink] it concentrated the power of a technique into a smaller form, thus allowing its strength to skyrocket. When one used [Grow], it dispersed the power of a technique into a larger form, thus weakening it, but giving it a greater area of effect.

[Manipulate] could concentrate more power or disperse more power without changing the size of a technique, making it the greater Degree of Freedom. It was also possible to stack [Grow] and [Manipulate], allowing a technique to grow in size without losing its potency.

[Change] gave one the ability to convert the core of a technique. Essentially, one could make a fire technique into a water technique, or vice versa. However, it was deeper than this. It was possible to apply the concepts of a fist technique into a leg technique, or even convert concepts of a movement technique in an attacking technique.

This Degree of Freedom was only limited by the imagination and soul strength of its wielder.

[Layer] gave one the ability to fuse and stack techniques in the truest sense, vastly increasing their strength. It was the simplest of these so far, but its abilities were likely the most potent, especially when stacked with the others.

The third portion had the final three Degrees of Freedom.

[Enlightened Lines of Efficiency] has the ability to drastically lower the energy needed to perform techniques without decreasing their power. It was essentially a stronger version of the [Weaken] and [Slow] Degrees of Freedom.

[Reinforce] could make techniques far stronger in exchange for increasing their energy requirement. Techniques usually had a cap on their strength depending on their grade, but [Reinforce] could circumvent this cap forcefully. It was essentially the upgraded version of [Strengthen] and [Accelerate].

Finally, [Transcend] was the final Tier Nine Degree of Freedom. It allowed one to raise the grade of a technique entirely, causing a qualitative change in its strength. This was the upgraded version of [Reinforce]!

Dyon felt like a child on Christmas day. He also felt less troubled about only finding this technique now. Judging by its complexity, he wouldn't have had a chance in comprehending it before his Divine Sense broke into the Immortal Sense Realm.

'Could [Enlightened Lines of Efficiency] have what I need to fix Luna's problems…?'

[Soul Aid], after the first portion, wasn't as simple as mere calculation any longer. Each held profound laws that manipulated the rules of existence itself… It really might hold the very keys he needed.

"My Earthen Sprites will not stand for this!"

A man who would have looked mighty familiar to Dyon roared, causing an unknown independent space to quake under his surging qi.

For powers on the level of the Sprite Alliance, there were numerous modifications made to their territory. For example, even their lesser planets could withstand a battle between celestials, while a place like this that housed their capital, could handle a decent battle between dao experts and maintain its form. An impressive feat considering Dyon's home planet could barely withstand a battle between saints.
