"That's great news!" Clara showed a rare look of excitement when she heard of Mia and Bella's matters. She had only awoken from her coma just a few minutes ago, so her body was still incredibly weak, but it seemed Dyon didn't need to worry too much about her. Unfortunately, Madeleine didn't seem like she would awaken for a while longer.

"Ah…" Clara grabbed her forehead, laying back down slowly as though to apologize to her splitting headache for moving so abruptly.

"Are you okay?" Dyon shifted forward, placing his hand on her forehead, pouring his soul qi into her and soothing the pain.

"It's not too bad, I just overexerted myself during the last steps… Phase 3 was supposed to be implemented slowly over a few weeks to months, but I did it all in a few days."

Dyon smiled lightly, a bit of guilt hidden deep within his eyes.

"Don't be like that, pervert." Clara said with a teasing voice. "Because of this, I feel like I might sense moon qi very soon. The barrier is incredibly thin for me right now."

Dyon's eyebrows raised. That was great news. The only individuals capable of manipulating moon qi in their Mortal Alliance right now were himself, Granny Celest, and the former weapon's guild head that was still currently recovering from his injuries.

However, Granny Celest was too focused on quickly increasing her cultivation for Dyon to ask her to take part in mundane things, while he himself was incredibly busy all of the time. The addition of Clara would greatly reduce that stress.

In addition, for a talent like Granny Celest to still have only comprehended moon qi, it was obvious her passion didn't lie in array alchemy like Dyon's master's did. Maybe this was why the White Mother title skipped over her.

That said, the population of celestial beasts wasn't exactly large. They were only about a few dozen in size, so the number of that caliber were even less.

Of course, Clara was only able to cultivate so quickly thanks to her dual cultivating with Dyon for so long. His soul talent had a great affect on his wives.

"Forget about me." Clara said softly. "How did they survive for so long?"

"Mia and Bella? I think it has something to do with the death qi. The Life Stone likely responded to their presence and sustained their lives with that qi. If it wasn't for that… I think I would have made yet another big mistake."

Clara sighed. "It wouldn't have been your fault if a tragedy like that did happen. Who could have guessed that this would play out like this? Have you figured out why they reacted like that?"

"They weren't naturally born Dark Phoenixes, they are a necessity that Heavens mandated for its balance, so it was likely that their normal human bodies were clashing with the Dark Phoenixes slumbering deep within them.

"They had to be reborn, but the excess life energy of Soul Planet thanks to the Life Stone was slowing that process down and clashing with the work their souls had to accomplish… This ended up rotting them from the inside out as life clashed with death.

"Eventually, life lost and they died, allowing their true Dark Phoenix selves to accomplish their task and help them be reborn. At least that's the old man's theory… He's probably right considering his breadth of knowledge."

"So their parents weren't phoenixes?"

"Probably not. There's no information about Dark Phoenixes having to go through such a baptism. If their parents were phoenixes, they likely would have been phoenixes from the very start without having to suffer through such pain…"

"Do they have their memories?" Clara asked nervously. It was no wonder she would. If they didn't, were these two little girls really Mia and Bella? It might be a different kind of death, but it was still a death nonetheless if what made them, them was lost…

Dyon sighed. "Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that way."

Clara frowned, leading the couple into a moment of silence. It was no wonder they felt this way, it seemed the Mia and Bella they once knew were gone.

Dyon closed his eyes.

"I decided almost three years ago to never put anything above family any longer. Everything we do, we do together. I don't think I can stand to leave them there anymore."

Clara didn't need to ask to know what Dyon was talking about. He was definitely referring to the remnants of the mortal world.

After expanding the habitable planets from 6 to 10, there was still 1 that hadn't been colonized yet. It was one Dyon reserved for the people of his mortal world. But, if he had to be honest, he saw them as cowards, people who would rather stay in a cage than forge a path toward strength for themselves.

That said, Dyon also realized that the stagnated growth of the mortal realm geniuses might be connected to their lack of belonging. As a leader, it was his duty to fix this, he had to fix this.

Dyon probably shouldn't see them as family, after all, he had no true connection with any of them. But, the small bit of kinship he still had hadn't been snuffed out just yet…

"I'll come with you." Clara said without room for discussion.
