No one but Clara would understand why Dyon was laughing to himself like an evil mastermind, but he didn't mind. It was just a shame that his naming scheme didn't really match up to the genders of the celestial beast babies.

For example, Shere Khan was a female, and so was Franklin. In fact, the only male of the group was Sengoku. So, in the end, Dyon made a few modifications, calling them by nicknames instead of their chosen names.

He would call Franklin, Linlin. He'd call Shere Khan, Shere. He'd call Sengoku, Sen. And, he'd call Bambi, Biibi.

The last two name changes weren't strictly necessary, but he knew he would feel too embarrassed to call those two Sengoku and Bambi even if others didn't understand.

After performing the same ceremony with him as the hamster twins had, the baby celestial beasts felt an unwitting closeness to Dyon that they couldn't describe. Even if they didn't understand they full weight of the ceremony now, they would come to in the future.

Truth be told, Dyon felt kind of bad they were forced into this choice. The celestial hamster twins were very much aware of what their decision meant, but these newborns had no idea the kind of responsibility they had been given. They couldn't even fully form words yet.

In the distance, Dyon could see their worried parents even as the four of them begun to cling to him. But… he could only sigh. Nothing he could say would make a mother and a father feel any better about sending their newborns out into a world of danger, especially after they were just born.

What made matters worse were the circ.u.mstances around the birth of these four. Just how convenient was it that such a low population of celestial beasts just happened to have four newborns waiting in the wings? The truth was that it wasn't convenient at all.

Thinking back to Little Black's birth, hadn't Dyon's Master been dead for thousands of years? So, how was Zaire newly born when Dyon met him? It didn't make much sense.

The truth lied in an ability their celestial bloodline still had.

Their bloodline was blessed by the heavens and could thus accomplish things others could not. Its ability to help form an impossible to form pill was just one aspect… It was almost like celestial beasts were the original Heaven's Children without the restrictions.

Mother's had the ability to suspend their newborns in a limbo-like state and only "give birth" when the timing was the most convenient. This process was much less taxing than what Delia's mother had to do. One could be done indefinitely, while the other had a limit that included severe repercussions.

As long as the celestial beast mother maintains consciousness, whether that be in body or in soul, or even in energy, the limbo state can be preserved.

For Esmeralda, because she had The Seal, she was able to stop her soul from dissipating and keep her son in limbo, only allowing Little Black to be born when she sensed Dyon and chose to accept him as her disciple.

So, why was this important now? It was because four mothers, from each of the four remaining celestial beast clans, had kept their babies in limbo because they didn't like the current state of affairs… They wanted to give their children the chance to be born into a better era… An era where they weren't restricted to living like prisoners…

However, for the sake of the clans, these four mothers made the very difficult decision to allow their children to be born… Entrusting their life and death with Dyon…

This was the kind of weighty promise Dyon had decided to take on. This was his so-called calculatingly reckless move…

It turned out that these 'attendants' weren't attendants at all, but rather, worried parents. Although they didn't speak, Dyon could see how heavy the look in their eyes were.

"I'm going to be honest with you." Dyon spoke as he looked them in the eye. "I didn't want to do this. That's not to say that I'm pushing the blame onto all of you, but rather that I understand how much weight my taking them with me has. Still, I know my own worth. Following me, these four babies will soar far higher than you could ever imagine.

"That said, just saying so is pretty empty… So, how about I show you?" Dyon smiled as a chaotic energy erupted from him.

Granny Celest eyes widened along with the three kneeling family heads. 'This…'

The energy core within Dyon's inner world spun wildly, expelling a mere fraction of the Primordial Energy it had built up…

The 18th tier was only a twentieth of the size of a normal planet, yet Dyon poured what easily amounted to ten planets worth of this ancient energy.

The energy swirled, filling the space and dueling it out with copious amounts of life energy before they seemed to reach a consensus.

'Where… How…' The elders of the celestial beasts just couldn't understand how this was possible. This energy was extinct!

In the end, tears couldn't help but stream down their faces…

Hope. It was a powerful thing… And for a sovereign, it was the most important gift you could give to those who decided to follow you.

The First White Mother spent millions of years formulating Ethereal Permeation to solve this problem, but it was a will that was simply too difficult to learn… Plus, without Primordial Energy as a reference, or the towers to help, the celestial beast clan had not a single chance… But, Dyon had gifted them a ray of hope so fierce that they could already see their destination…
