Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

Not everyone was as pure hearted as Virvor. Therefore, not everyone would follow the vow they made. In fact, Dyon was certain that a good portion of them would directly ignore this promise and build their own forces.

It may seem stupid for the Celestial Deer Sect to not bind these individuals with contracts, however, think about it. Would you want to build your sect or clan off the back of individuals who were forced into joining against their will?

This wasn't all either, the elders of the Celestial Deer Sect, physically speaking, couldn't prepare contracts. Remember, Elder Daiyu had his grandson, Chenglei, sign a soul contract with Jade instead of him because his soul was severely injured.

If a person who was alive and injured couldn't withstand a soul contract, then how could a mere spirit withstand it?

And, considering they didn't have live bodies, they obviously couldn't use blood or blood essence contracts.

In the end, those elders had no choice but to accept empty promises, hoping that their successor would be able to force those individuals to kneel in the future.

Maybe the only reason The Cathedral and Soul Rending Peak were still in power was because, just like Dyon's home universe, they had forgotten about the existence of the Epistemic Tower over time. If that was the case, it was no wonder they didn't attack to conquer this universe.

That aside, these were only Dyon's conjectures. He had no idea what state the rest of the quadrant was in, but he knew it wouldn't be easy to unify an entire quadrant. Still, he had no choice.

The saddest part was that comparatively speaking, it was his easiest task. After all, he was still much too far away from seeking revenge against the Pakal and Ragnor Emperor God Clans.

This was all to say that Dyon had too many troubles in this Soul Rend Quadrant to entertain having an enemy as an ally. He wanted to give the key wielding responsibilities to someone he trusted, and that definitely wasn't Lilith.

Lilith grit her teeth. The moment Dyon made his identity clear, she had expected this.

Her father had warned her of the possibility of the Celestial Deer Sect preparing a successor, but who knew that that successor would be so powerful?

She suddenly felt lucky that they had prepared Presence protecting treasures after Asyna was so easily defeated. Had they not, none of them would stand a chance against him.

Looking at the hostile gazes of the celestials around them, Lilith could only bitterly smile. Just a few moments ago, they wanted to kill Dyon, but now each of them was searching for an opportunity to curry a favor with him.

However, just how important was this key to her?

In truth, it wasn't absolutely necessary. To enter the auction, you only had to be a king. But, the key was a matter of pride for her. She was a genius among geniuses, how could she accept a title any lower than True God? She wanted to become the 12th among them!

That said, Lilith wasn't stupid. Even with Sokzac, it was impossible for them to defeat so many celestials.

It was at this point that Sokzac finally couldn't withhold his temper anymore.

"To want to take the things of my fiancée before me…. ARE YOU TIRED OF LIVING?!"

Dyon's eyes trained on Sokzac. "I don't care who she is, anyone who stands in my way dies!"

"What a good "True God" you are. You want to rely on your title to pressure others into doing what you want? Did you forget that you have yet to earn the Master Symbol of this sect?! If you want it, you have to come through me!"

"How funny. I can't use a title that I earned with my own two hands to pressure others? If I can't use something that's mine, what am I supposed to use? I guess all that black lightning fried your brain cells."

Sokzac's anger rose higher.

Dyon turned toward Lilith again, his brow slightly frowning. "You're still hurt."

Although Lilith tried to hide it, the initial shock didn't escape Dyon's Perception.

Dyon nodded. "It seems you do have a conscience. I was wondering why you were letting you background character run around to rampantly, it turns out that this is the reason."

Seeing Lilith's shocked expression, Dyon chuckled. "There's no need to be surprise. My body could actually be considered one of my weaker points, my true strength is my soul."

Although Dyon's words were simple, they sent a cold shiver down everyone's spine. That was right, how could the successor of the Celestial Deer Sect be a body cultivator? At that moment, they understood why Dyon hadn't used anything but his body from start to end… He was actually handicapping himself!

Of course, this was a half truth by Dyon. He only said this because he wanted to erase the last lingering doubts they might have. The person who told Dyon that Lilith was still injured was his Master.

That aside, Dyon's meaning was clear. He thought before that Lilith used some tragic soul slave's soul to heal herself quickly. But, it turned out that she was just suppressing her injuries.

"You should thank her." Dyon's gaze turned back to Sokzac. "She's the reason you have a chance of leaving alive today."

"Enough bullshit!" Sokzac raged, pulling out a large saber weighing hundreds of thousands of jin.

It was almost six feet long and more than a foot width. However, its thickness was so thin that it moved like a piece of aluminium.

Its body was a complete jet black, not reflecting even the slightest bit of light of lightning crackled over its body.

Everyone took a step back. This was Dyon's final test for them. They could tell how powerful this young man Sokzac was. So, if Dyon could defeat him, there would be no doubt left. Human beings were fickle, and it hurt them to give up so much profit. It was no wonder some were still hesitating.

'Hey master, are you thinking what I'm thinking?' Dyon said with a grin.

At that moment a light giggle sounded in Dyon's mind as a brilliant formation appeared before him.

The surrounding experts watched in awe as a dull grey saber was forged into existence. There were no fancy symbols or intricate patterns, just a simple saber body and handle.

Dyon arms lightly shook as he grasped the saber.

Seeing his reaction, the eyes of the surrounding experts couldn't help but narrow. They could tell that this weapon exceeded one million jin in weight, yet it was created on a whim like this? Just what kind of genius was this Dyon Sacharro?

Of course, it was Dyon's master who created the array. But, to keep up appearances, Dyon took the credit. After all, it wouldn't be good for him if his enemies knew that his soul was sealed.

However, what shocked them even more was the fact Dyon didn't seem to be familiar with a saber at all.

"Interesting." The saber swept across, blatantly displaying Dyon's lack of skill with it. "I'll show you the difference between you and I."

Sokzac immediately understood what Dyon meant and it nearly sent him into another rage. Dyon had never used a saber before, yet he chose it simply because Sokzac did. On top of that, he created the weapon on his own! If Dyon really won this, it would be clear who among them was better.

The worst part was that Sokzac no longer had the excuse that he was suppressed while Dyon wasn't because who didn't know that Dyon was the key wielder of the Celestial Deer Quadrant? If he was born in Soul Rend Quadrant, he would have been kidnapped as a child and sold at the highest price in soul market!

'[Saber Tiger Three Stances].' Dyon's master's voice sounded in his mind.

Dyon's teasing expression disappeared, replaced by the utmost seriousness. No matter what he said, he took Sokzac very seriously as an opponent.

Although Sokzac wasn't a Peak First Grade Celestial who had filled all 108 meridians, he had filled 102, making him a genuine first grade celestial and the very first Dyon had faced personally. There were only a few dozen geniuses in the entirety of the 100 quadrants that could match him.
