'A Heart Demon trial, huh?' Dyon looked around with placid eyes. 'Maybe a few weeks ago, before I shattered that glass house of a dao heart I would fear such a trial. But, now?'

The scene before Dyon's eyes shifted. The serene atmosphere became painted with blood and gore.

The once pristine homes lay in a pile of their own waste, the perfectly paved road became cracked and splintered, all while the bodies of their owners were strewn to the ground.

It didn't take much for Dyon to understand what he was seeing. Back then, it was because he enraged Matriarch Niveus and used his Celestial Puppet to kill her that she retaliated in this way. She slaughtered an entire Clan of people simply out of spite and bitterness.

Dyon had no idea he was undergoing another War God trial, but if he did, he would understand. The so-called Battle God of the past would have seen his battle with Matriarch Niveus as a victory, he wouldn't have looked toward the reverberating effects it had. However, Dyon always had, in fact, he still blamed himself to this day for the matters of that time.

If only he had been stronger, he could have blocked that desperate strike. If only he had been stronger, he would have killed her in a single blow and disallowed that strike from happening at all. If only he had been stronger, wouldn't everything become as simple as flipping over a hand?

While the Battle God would have been shocked by the scene before him due to the fact he never thought about the consequences of his actions, Dyon thought about the consequences of his everyday. He no longer fought for just himself, he was no longer that teenage boy who had lost all of his family and only had himself to answer to. He had wives and friends, he would one day have children and an empire. That sort of immaturity had left him long ago.

The lesson the War God Heart trial was trying to teach Dyon was one he had already learned on his own.

Back when he left Focus Academy, he had done so in a blaze of glory. He single-handedly defeated eleven geniuses on his own, even crippling and killing the young masters of several God Clans. Yet, what had happened when he returned from the Elvin Kingdom?

First, he found that Focus Academy had disbanded. Without Focus Academy to rely upon, the Bai family was forced to relent under the pressure of the Daiyu and marry Meiying off to Chenglei.

After that, he found out that the Big Sects took out all their anger on Eli's Viridi family. They ended up being sold off as pill slaves, an experience Eli wouldn't have survived had it not been for the fact he was a Heaven's Child.

Then there was Delia and Patia-Neva. Because of his actions, their perfect cover was destroyed, forcing them to relocate. Delia then joined the ranks of the Niveus Sect headed by Matriarch Niveus while Patia-Neva went into hiding.

His actions, the very actions he had been so proud of, effected the lives of at least three people he cared for dearly in terrible ways.

'This lesson is one I've already learned, and it's one I'll never forget…' Dyon closed his eyes.

The images continued to quickly change. Scenes of G Man's death, the struggle of the remainder of the Mortal Clan, and even some unexpected scenes filled Dyon's mind.

Dyon saw images of Lionel and Evelyne struggling in the outskirts of an unknown territory. With Lionel being a cripple now, having been stripped of his Belmont bloodline, he could only rely on Evelyne. Oddly enough, the makeshift couple stayed together despite their struggles.

Then Dyon saw images of Lilith and Sokzac, as well as the other Devil Path geniuses. They muddled about their newfound Sect, suffering hardsh.i.p.s while trying to keep their true power hidden.

Sokzac frequently fought unwinnable battles, trying to protect not only his prestige, but that of his fiancée as well. It seemed that Lilith's heart had grown a soft space for Sokzac within, even more profound than it had been back at Soul Rend Peak.

Asyna, the dark elf, was especially affected. It seemed her loss to Dyon fueled her to greater heights, pushing her forward with a ferocity.

But then there were scenes Dyon didn't fully understand. Like sights of the secluded Kitsune and their unknown new Void Clan Head.

The scenes continued to shift, as though trying to find something that effected Dyon greatly. However, it failed. Despite being despicable, the Heavens were forced to follow its own rules. The War God trial was meant to make a genius aware of the consequences of their actions. Therefore, it was unable to use Dyon's parents against him since their death weren't as a consequence of any actions he, himself took.

For the Battle God and anyone else who shared an unbridled arrogance, this trial would shatter them wholly. However, Dyon didn't seem effected at all.

Unfortunately, the Heavens would never allow things to end like this. When the scene shifted to Jade's ice sculpture and the Heavens detected the ripple in Dyon's heart, it immediately latched on, refusing to let go.

The scene of Dyon walking to the top from the Acacia Academy Library overwhelmed his vision. Suddenly, he could no longer control his actions. Instead, he was thrust a life he could only watch.

At this time, Dyon's manifestation had just awoken and set the Elvin Kingdom ablaze. Yet, while everyone else was losing their minds trying to figure out the owner of the arrogant words in the sky, he was sharing a calm, sweet moment with a silver haired beauty…
