Book 7: Chapter 87: Provocation (2)
A week later, the demon sage tower had finally broken into the central galaxy. In just a few hours, Dyon had homed in on a particular planet.
From outside the planet’s influence, Dyon saw swaths of rocky and tall jagged mountains. The rivers and oceans that ran across its surface were even an eerie red color, making it look like a molten rock of red and black from above.
However, just as Dyon was about to descend, his eyes trained of a foggy barrier that covered about 20% of the planet. ‘It must be there.’
Looking back toward the beast babies, he spoke. “You four stay here. Little Yin, Little Yang, you can come with me.”
Although the four beast babies wanted to protest, they could only accept that they were still too weak to follow Dyon. In the end, they headed off toward their training rooms before rigorously starting on the techniques Dyon gave them.

Within the odd fog barrier of the planet, there was an entirely different world.
Extending for several thousand miles more than what it seemed on the outside, there were lush green grasses, tall and strong trees, and even healthy and raging rivers. This was clearly a Mystical World! Not only that, but a Mystical World that was easily accessible.
“This mine is my property! If you want it, you’ll have to claim it over my dead body!” A young man with beady purple eyes roared as he watched the approaching enemies.
“Don’t be like that. Aren’t your and my clans friends? Haven’t you learned to share?” A group of three slowly and cautiously approached, greed clear in their eyes.
Usually, a mine like this wouldn’t be too rare. This was because this Mystical World lived in a pocket of accelerated time where a single day was worth only a portion of an hour in the real world. Yet, at the same time, unlike the other areas of Chaos Universe, the things here grew along with the accelerated time. It was obvious to anyone who knew much of anything that this was due to an otherworldly expert bending the laws of the universe and forcing it to accept this new timeline.
As a result, whenever the five-clan alliance came to this universe once every 1.2 million years, the marker for a new generation, the spiritual fruits, plants and mines had all had over 120 million years of growth!
Although Dyon had experienced 53 years in this universe, because of the volatility in time, others experienced much less, while some experienced more. Thus, despite having had a 50-year time limit given by their 12th
elder, the beast alliance clans were still here.In the sky, Dyon shook with rage. This wasn’t because he cared about the young man being bullied, it was because his divine sense could cover the entire Mystical World and he could see the Legacy that should be his being taken by others. The Demon Sage really was too careless in making this world.
“Scram!” Dyon roared from the skies, causing the four beast men to look up before their eyes widened in fear.
Without even inquiring about who it was, all four of them turned tail and ran. Dyon’s demeanor was far scarier than even the infernal embryonic beasts on the outside, how could they dare to cross him?
However… Each of them rushed toward their own leaders. The beady purple eyed young man immediately headed toward the genius of the Purple Scaled King Viper Clan… And the three young men dashed toward the Earth Skinned Salamander, Ignis.
Dyon hardly cared. It was better if they all came together so he could kick them out at once. How dare they touch what was his?
“Mm.” Dyon nodded as he walked into the mine. “I shouldn’t waste time here… There are several hundred mines that I can sense. Dammit, I don’t have time to take them all.”
“You can move Mystical World’s with you, you know. But, you need the world’s core. The Celestial Mystical World’s core was the Life Stone. I’m not entirely sure what this world’s core is.” Little Yang suddenly said.
Dyon’s divine sense trained in on a grey blob at the very center of the mystical world. In reality, it wasn’t a grey blob at all, it definitely had a form and shape… It was just that, for some reason, Dyon’s divine sense wasn’t allowed to scan it.
‘If the world core exists, it’s definitely there.’
After a look around, Dyon lost interest in the mine. It wasn’t that it wasn’t fruitful. In fact, there were several billion saint stones to excavate, not a small reward by any means. But now that he had undone the lock on his thoughts and had begun to balance his beast and human path once more, his calm had come back as well.
Why focus on this one saint stone mine when he could sense several dozen celestial stone mines and a half dozen dao stone mines? His main priority was to receive the world’s core. Then he could receive all of these rewards at his leisure.
‘You really didn’t make this easy on your successor.’ Dyon thought, still feeling aggrieved. He could only imagine how many treasures he had missed out on because of the Demon Sage’s blunder.
However, what Dyon didn’t realize was that the Demon Sage was laughing heartily at his plight. Or, rather, when he left the Mystical World open, he had. After all, because of Dyon, he was prophesied to die. How could he not bear a small grudge?
