Dyon almost couldn't stop himself from completely destroying Evangeline's courtyard. How was this a way to treat people?! They were more like livestock than human beings!

'Remember, don't go doing anything stupid. I told you not to underestimate this quadrant.

'Why do you think the Soul Market has lasted this long? Why do you think this quadrant is still so weak even while taking advantage of such a high level technique?'

Dyon took a deep breath. 'Probably because other, more powerful quadrants are taking their share of the pie.'

'At least you're not entirely stupid. There is a Council of high ranking elders from various quadrants that control the Soul Market. However, what I didn't expect was that those Devil Path cultivators were behind the scenes this entire time.'

'You mean the council doesn't know?'

'Of course not. How could they be willing to allow their enemies to benefit from their hard work? Even when I was an elder of that sect, I had no idea.'

'Wait. How do the Devil Sects benefit if it's the council that heads everything?'

'Remember that singular dao formation expert you've heard mentioned a couple times since being here?'

Dyon nodded. 'According to what I've heard, in the past few tens of thousands of years, this 98th quadrant had only produced a single expert of that level.'

'In all likelihood, that was a lie. This quadrant might not even have a single dao formation expert.

'The reality is that the quadrants involved in this Soul Market scheme aren't almighty powers. None of the top ten quadrants are involved. It's actually being kept a secret from them.

'However, this information of mine is outdated. It's likely that in the time I've been gone, those quadrants that did participate were able to use this evil plan to improve their rankings. They weren't top ten back then, but maybe they are now.'

Hearing this, Dyon couldn't help but begin to worry. Just how many lives had they given up to reap such rewards?

A single universe could already contain trillions of people, let alone the 100 of them that made up a quadrant. With so many people to pick and choose from, Dyon didn't doubt that there would be millions of adequate talents born every year!
