“Mom, it seems like dad was right.” Alauna said softly.
“Mm… Your father has never been wrong about this kind of thing for as long as I’ve known him.”
“Is that so?” Alauna teased. “Never?”
Luna sighed. “Sotis I think he’s simply on a different level from the rest of us. You should cherish these mories you have… I fear that one day he may grow too distant from us all.”
Alauna’s playful expression faded. She wrapped her arm around her mother’s, leaning into her shoulder.
“You worry too much, mom. If there’s one thing that dad would never do, it’s separate from his family. But… What he’d do if we left this world before him… That’s sothing I worry about all the ti.”
Luna pinched her daughter’s cheek. “Listen to you, what are you thinking about. What kind of daughter worries about dying before her father? Maybe I didn’t discipline you enough as a child.”
Alauna giggled. “How could you bear to punish such a perfect little girl like ?”
The mother-daughter pair had a small intimate mont. But unfortunately, they couldn’t bask in it for long.
“What should we do?” Alauna asked.
“It’s exactly like your father said. The Sapientia are split along two lines, but which holds more power is already clear. If this continues, Little Sister Madeleine’s parents can only wait for death.”
The mother-daughter duo hadn’t been sitting idly by as everyone else fought. They had snuck into Sapientia territory for several years already.
Dyon didn’t actually mind giving them such a dangerous mission only because the safety asures he put in place were beyond the ans of the Sapientia to handle.
Of course, Dyon himself had entered Sapientia territory before, but it was impossible to simply expect to stumble upon an incredibly important conversation going on at just the right tis. Even if Dyon could scan an entire universe back then, the Sapientia controlled over 300. He obviously couldn’t monitor them all at once.
So, Dyon decided to wait… Wait until the point the Sapientia were certain that he was out of the picture. Then, he made use of his talented daughter.
As the offspring of a Heaven’s Child, Alauna’s talent couldn’t be questioned. While Amphorae was the first of Dyon’s wives to reach the Supre Realm, Alauna was the first of the Mortal Empire to reach it in that ti, period.
Not only this, but she had broken into the two facet Overlord Realm as well. In truth, she could have beco a three facet Overlord as well, but hadn’t done so, so that she could continue to appear on the mortal plane.
As things stood now, she had reached that realm in the two facets the Heavens tolerated: her body and her soul. This was exactly why Dyon could entrust her with this mission, because her Immortal Sense would give her a certain advantage in concealnt.
Even if the Sapientia were hiding a soul facet Overlord, the soul talent Alauna had simply being Dyon’s daughter wasn’t sothing a normal First Grade World Seer could match.
Alauna rubbed her little hands together, smiling an evil grin.
“We could just beat them all up. I’d really like to see if the Sapientia are hiding anything that could catch my interest.”
Luna rolled her eyes, smacking her daughter’s forehead with a palm.
“Don’t run around being as reckless as your father. This has to be handled delicately.”
Alauna sighed, but it was unknown whether this sigh was for the faction of Sapientia in danger, or if it was for herself.
“I just don’t understand what they were thinking? Is this all their plans amounted to?
“Momma Madeleine’s parents ran off to dad’s ho universe to train up so disciples, but those sa disciples, even with dad’s help, could only beco Higher Existences even if they survived their Heaven’s Staircase trial which they’ve yet to take…
“On top of that, even after undertaking that mission, they left a ticking ti bomb like Oshire who almost killed dad all while abandoning their daughter at the sa ti. What kind of plan was this? Whoever thought of it should be ashad.”
Luna shook her head. “I don’t believe such geniuses in cultivation could be such fools, but that doesn’t bar them from being naïve. If your father is correct, maybe they wanted to train up disciples from his ho universe to see if any of that latent still remained. After all, they likely guessed that the true pinnacle human race of the mortal plane would be born from there…
“In the end, they were right. It’s just that your father succeeded where they failed.”
Alauna’s eyes flashed with understanding.
“Only by revitalizing the pinnacle race could they potentially delay the Ancient Battlefield’s descent. Dad’s words…”
Luna nodded. “He didn’t explain everything to you because he wanted you to co to the conclusion on your own… It looks like you did.
“The Ancient Battlefield’s descent this ti is so early only because the pinnacle race failed to be born, causing the Heavens to give up on the Era and seek to start anew.
“The minority faction of the Sapientia likely wanted to stop this descent by rebirthing this race of people…
“Going to your father’s universe, raising up disciples, hoping that they would beco key wielders. All of this was for the sake of finding the remains of that pinnacle race.
“I’m sure you understand what that ans.” Luna said solemnly.
Alauna’s expression turned serious. “The crux of the Sapientia’s plan lies within the Ancient Battlefield and the minority faction knew that and wanted to stop it. Maybe the catalyst for dad’s failure in the past tiline was sparked long before he even got the chance to fight back…”
Luna’s gaze beca cold. “No matter what they’re planning, this ti, we won’t allow them to succeed.”
