"You dare do this to me?!"

A roar shook the once icy landscape, but it was immediately followed by cries of pain. How could The Seal so easily allow an enslaved beast to have thoughts of rage and murder toward its new master?

Madeleine smiled and shook her head.

"Is this really what you meant? You're so bad." She couldn't help but giggle. In reality, she felt a little bad. This Ice Phoenix had probably ruled over countless individuals with impunity for so long, yet now he was in this state.

"There's no need to feel bad. He sentenced billions of dwarves to death on a whim just a few weeks ago for his own purposes, yet I gave him such a blessing in return. This is already his best outcome."

Madeleine smiled, but didn't respond.

She felt that Dyon's manor of speaking had changed. It wasn't that his words were different per se, but rather that he spoke from on high suddenly… As though everything was beneath his notice.

Something was bubbling up within her husband, she could clearly see it. If this world pushed him too far… He really might destroy it all.

"Was this the foundation for the four facet Overlord Realm you talked about?"

Dyon shook his head. "This is actually just a convenient detour. What we really needs is Phoenix flesh and blood."

"You mean… Your master's pill concoction path?"

Dyon nodded. "There are no phoenixes on the mortal plane aside from Mia and Bella. But, even if I was willing to use them for such a thing, they are Dark Phoenixes, so they aren't truly compatible with you. Luckily, there are so many phoenixes here.

"What you're lacking in is your bodily strength. Though Amethyst reformed your body to a certain extent, both your Sapientia bloodline and your Goddess' Disposition constitution are qi centric. You don't inherently have a very powerful body, unlike a beast would. So, reaching the Overlord Realm with your body will be very difficult for you.

"If we want to change that, we'll have to slowly start reforming your body and make it more bestial. If I concoct some pills with Phoenix blood, it would naturally be the most compatible with you. At that time, reaching that realm in all four facets won't be impossible."

"But…" Madeleine's brow furrowed. "… I have a feeling that there's a reason no one has reached four facets before. It's likely that the Heavens simply don't allow it."

"I agree. I don't believe that in the history of the Ancient Battlefield, there was no one capable of such a feat. In fact, I believe there are two possibilities…

"The first is that we are wrong from the very beginning and that there have been individuals who have succeeded."

"You mean they've been purposely erased from everyone's memories?"

"Mm." Dyon nodded. "It's not impossible. The Unicorn corpse puppet I gained from Orcus was forgotten by me many times despite my having The Seal. It wasn't until recently that that forgetfulness no longer affected me. But, by then, the corpse puppet itself was already useless."

It was quite an unfortunate series of events.

Dyon continuously forgot about having the corpse puppet by his side. And, by the time his soul was strong enough such that The Seal improved to the point of this forgetfulness fading, the corpse puppet was already of no use to him.

With how difficult it was to create Higher Existence corpse puppets, one can imagine that the unicorn corpse puppet wasn't even a Lord, let alone a Supreme or an Overlord in strength. The current Dyon could shattered it into pieces with a single glance.

"If the first option is true, then it likely means that the four facet Overlord is a ray of hope left behind by the Heavens, which makes sense. After all, though these are Failed Clans, the generation that 'failed' died off long ago. It's not fair to punish their descendants with absolutely no way out.

"In that case, those who were 'forgotten' likely reached the fourth facet and transcended. Or maybe there is another secret we're unaware of.

"The second possibility though, is much more complicated. In case that it's true, it means the Heavens are completely opposed to the existence of a four facet Overlord."

"But why would that be the case?" Madeleine asked thoughtfully. "Is it because the four facet realm is beyond what a mortal body can endure?"

"I think the truth actually may be hidden within [Inner World: Sanctuary]. It's the most complex cultivation technique I've ever read, to the point where it's deliberately precise about its every detail. In fact, due to its understanding of its complexity, it's very forgiving at the same time, being the only cultivation technique I've ever know to allow its wielder to return to their foundation and rebuild it anew as a stronger, sturdier base.

"But what's odd is that it suddenly becomes extremely vague when describing the transition between the mortal and immortal realms.

"That either means its creator was harboring a secret they didn't want anyone to find out about…

"… or… Maybe even the creator of such a mighty technique had no idea of how to deal with this mysterious realm between mortal and immortal."
