1518 Awoken
The second point was that Dyon had vast oceans of resources here. According to Ri, there were over a million energy stone mines. Unfortunately, Dyon simply didn’t have the time to draw any large-scale formations. However, he didn’t need to draw ones as exaggerated as he had for Low Gold City.
Back then, he was forced to make them stretch over hundreds of miles. But here, a radius of a few kilometers was enough. Since the battlefield would be decided by him, this was his advantage.
Dyon once again chose the [Infinite Heart] Formation. However, this time, he concentrated around a small circle of nine dao stone mines and placed the Jafari Clan treasure at the very center.
Dyon couldn’t choose [Gaia’s Will] since earth was the antithesis of water. If he built a earth based formation in the depths of the ocean, he would be asking to get embarrassed. Luckily, Water had many defensive formations as well, some which didn’t lose out to earth. In fact, their effects would be even stronger than [Gaia’s Will] due to the environment.
Dyon chose [Water Maiden’s Harmony]. Scaling to quantity of water, this formation was able to absorb and dissipate force. The only unfortunate part was that quantity of water was decided by the formation’s surface area and not the amount of water it was submerged under. If it was the latter, no one in existence could shatter it under Dark Ocean.
Dyon didn’t have much time to increase the formation’s surface area, but he did his absolute best.
By his calculations, the nine dao stone mines would be able to sustain ten higher dao puppets for 5 minutes. As for the [Water Maiden’s Harmony], it would be able to withstand three blows from a Higher Dao Expert once it was completed. That was the best he could do give the time constraints.

Amphorae had awoken.
…
Amphorae looked at Dyon silently for a moment. She felt that something had changed about her husband, and her instincts definitely weren’t wrong.
“Did something happen?” Amphorae probed.
“It’s no longer safe to go to the Conference. You took a relay station with you just in case, correct? Use it as soon as you can and return to Soul Palace.”
Amphorae frowned.
The relay station Dyon was referring to was the very same array set created by the 24th White Mother for the Sapientia. Dyon knew this thanks to the special abilities of the hamster twins.
According to Little Yin and Yang, there were a set of 1030 planet grade arrays, 30 of which were ‘Master Key Arrays’. These 30 master arrays were placed as a fail safe because the 24th White Mother didn’t trust the Sapientia Clan. Thus, these 30 arrays were left hidden within Soul Rending Peak until they were brought out for use by The Cathedral.
Currently, Dyon had control of 10 of these master key arrays. The remaining 20 were still in the hands of the 99 universes. However, this wasn’t a big deal because Dyon cut off their ability to teleport to the 10 in his hands. When the time came, he would come to control all 30. When that day came, the Sapientia would be in for rude awakening… The humiliation they handed Dyon this day would be handed back several hundredfold.
Still, this wasn’t important now. What was important was that the master key arrays could create 10 relay stations each. These relay stations could allow one to teleport back to the master key array that created it at any moment. And, it also allowed anyone at the master key array to teleport to it.
Amphorae had brought one with her. Originally, Dyon had given it to her after hearing she wanted to go Dragon Hunting. He didn’t want her to be without means of escape, just in case. But, it seemed it would come very useful now.
“… What happened?” Amphorae said after a long time.
After listening to Dyon’s explanation, Amphorae understood. Since these people wanted to cut all cordiality with him, there wouldn’t be much of a reason for them to let Amphorae go free.
“What about the relay station, though?” Amphorae said, slightly apprehensive.
“This is a good opportunity.” Dyon said after thinking a while. “Find an abandoned, preferably uninhabitable planet with a predictable orbit to hide it. Use a few concealment arrays to block the energy fluctuations and stop the Star Clan from being able to sense the influx of spatial qi. When the time comes, this relay station will make warring with the Star Clan far easier.”
Amphorae nodded. She didn’t know when her and Dyon’s relationship flipped back to him taking the lead, but she couldn’t say she hated it. At least this way, their 5-year long trip wasn’t entirely wasted.
“Do you need my help?”
“No. Once you get back to Soul Palace, don’t leave. In fact, I left a martial saint pill with Meiying just for you. Take it as soon as you can.”
Amphorae’s eyes widened. “Martial Saint Pill?”
How could she not know the significance of such a thing? It was precisely because of his Martial Saint constitution that her father dominated for so many years. There was a reason it was ranked top 3 among male constitutions.
However, the martial saint pill was even more valuable because it actually allowed women to gain the constitution as well. Amphorae couldn’t even begin to imagine how Dyon got his hands on such a thing.
Still, Amphorae didn’t feel very comfortable doing this. If she really took the pill, because she was already in the dao realm, being incapacitated for only 10 years was a best case scenario. She didn’t know if her odd slumbering constitution would help or not, but she didn’t want to put hope in the unknown.
“Listen.” Dyon’s voice said firmly. “Madeleine is in danger and Clara…” Dyon took a deep breath. “If anything happens to you or Ri right now, I might really lose my mind. I’ll never ask you for something so selfish again. But just this one time, okay?”
Amphorae’s emerald eyes sparkled, but in the end, she nodded. “Okay.”
