Chapter 2263 - Ages (2) (1/2)
Due to the exploration of his clones, Dyon had a far better understanding of the Ancient Battlefield in comparison to everyone else on the mortal plane. If he could solve this issue himself, he would have long since done so. At the very least, he would have taken action in the last two years.
One had to remember that Dyon's battle prowess on the Ancient Battlefield was even higher than it was on the mortal plane due to the fact it was his constitution's world. Yet even with this being the case, he still wasn't 100% confident.
Though Dyon had a certain level of certainty that he could protect himself and his family, this simply wasn't good enough. Dyon's enemy was never those of the mortal plane, or even the ancient battlefield, but was rather The Entity that still lay in slumber.
Dyon believed that his master was correct. The key to defeating The Entity would likely lie with Faith. But, if he took a back step and solely focused on defending, though he would survive, he would lose a massive amount of ground as well.
If this happened, his be right back in the same situation he was in the previous timeline. It would take him too long to unify the mortal plane, giving The Entity too much time to complete its absorption of his home universe, which would ultimately lead to his loss in the end once more.
Dyon couldn't allow this to happen. Not only did he need to defend the Mortal Plane from the Failed Clans, but he also had to take the opportunity to firmly grasp the plane itself for himself.
The first and most important thing was obviously his personal strength. If he grew strong enough in the next eighty years, it didn't matter how many enemies the Failed Clans sent toward him.
However, he knew he alone wouldn't be enough. The Higher Existences of the Ancient Battlefield were true powerhouses that made Estein and Yadmere look like mere dancing clowns.
Of course, there were only a few of them with that level of power, but there were many more who were equal to these two Ancestors, easily dozens. This didn't even mention the numerous lower-level Higher Existences beneath them, or the ridiculous number of Fallen.
On the Ancient Battlefield, the path toward transcendence was completely cut off. However, instead of being a detriment, this actually became a strength of theirs.
Long ago, Dyon heard the story of how Amethyst was fȯrċɨbŀƴ sent to the Immortal Plane after her strength reached a certain level. There was also his mother from the second trial who was forced to transcend after giving birth to him.
However, those Higher Existences of the Ancient Battlefield were allowed to sweep past this threshold as they pleased!
