Chapter 1227 - Why (2) (1/2)
--The 74th Quadrant.
Much like many other quadrants, the 74th has a very complex power structure, rife with powerful families and sovereignty disputes.
The 74th quadrant was an amalgamation of the sect and clan system, having one Emperor God Sect, but two Emperor God Clans. Similar to Dyon's home universe, these three power houses controlled 80 or so universes between them, making the remaining near 20 a battlefield for their vying.
Among these three Emperor God level conglomerates, one stood above the rest. The Grand Templar Sect.
Truth be told, this wasn't due to some innate superiority, but rather because while the Emperor God Clans were held together by a single strong family, the Emperor God Sect had two pillar families. The Cromwell and Valore families.
At this moment, a villa styled akin to ancient medieval era aesthetics was the location of a meeting between two noble men and a servant.
”What did you say?” A man wearing leather armor stared at the servant with a fierce aura radiating from him.
His aura was valiant, identical to a legendary paladin. His deep brown eyes and long flowing hair involuntarily emitted a golden aura that made those around him want to bow down. Not to mention the fact that the two-handed sword that hung from his waist filled him with a sense of awe-inspiring might.
This noble man was none other than the successor to the Valore family, key wielder, and one of the few Kings of the 74th quadrant, Percival Valore.
”I'm sorry, Sir Percival.” The servant trembled, unable to withstand the successor's anger. ”We did a thorough investigation, but Young Master Rand was nowhere to be found. He didn't exit the Valley of Geniuses.”
If Virvor was there, he might have snickered in laughter. This 'Young Master Rand' was none other than the Duke who provoked him outside of the Pill Tower of Sapientia Corner. He was also the same 'Young Master Rand' who tried to corner him within the Valley of Geniuses, but ended up dying instead.
”How is that possible? My son wouldn't die in so easily!” Percival roared, causing the servant to fall to his knees and beg for forgiveness.
Percival's valiant aura shattered the ground beneath his feet, sending ripples through his leather armor. Because of an extreme yang technique he practiced, the probability of him siring a male heir dropped drastically. As a result, despite his best efforts, he had dozens of daughters, but only two sons despite being almost 2000 years old!
It was the way of the heavens to bring balance to everything… Since he was an extreme yang, it was almost guaranteed that he would always give birth to an extreme yin. The good news was that his daughters were all extremely powerful in the yin path, and equally as astonishingly beautiful, but, in the 74th quadrant, a woman had never led, nor would a woman ever be accepted to lead.
He originally found this technique in a ruin on the celestial floors of the tower, but it was a double-edged sword that he had no choice but to accept for the sake of grabbing hold of this 74th quadrant.
