“You’re not making any sense. Every constitution is fundamentally created with the same runes. If I combine them, no matter how many, the fundamental runes aren’t going to change. They’ll just rearrange themselves differently.”

“You’re an idiot. How can fundamental runes work by means of normal common sense? In the mind of a mortal, ice and water have the same chemical structure and are therefore the same substance at different temperature points. But, if you observed the fundamental runes of each, you’d realize that they were drastically different.

“It’s the same concept as quantum physics. On a macro level, everything works by means of normal logic. However, when you observe things on the smallest of levels, you suddenly have substances acting as both particles and waves, all while they can randomly leap and switch places as they please.

“Fundamental runes act on an even smaller scale than what quantum physics encompasses. What are you doing wasting your time applying normal reason to it?”

Dyon froze for the second time in such a short period.

His mind began to work through things at warp speed. A lot of the questions he had were suddenly solved in an instant.

Junior said nothing, simply waiting silently. Even though Dyon inexplicably remained in this state for half a year, Junior, Saru and Lilith didn’t even so much as breathe too heavily.

“… I understand.”

Dyon hadn’t cultivated in this time, but the three of them could feel that he was much more powerful than he had been just half a year ago. If he were to battle a fully healthy Emytheus now, the battle wouldn’t last more than a handful of exchanges.

“About damn time.” 𝘪𝑎.𝒸𝘰

“My face really is too annoying, put that smirk away.”

“Many people hate me because I was born too handsome, I didn’t think my own self would fall into such a category too.”

“Self hate and self awareness come hand in – wait, what did you just say? “My own sel –”.”

Junior’s palm pressed itself flush against Dyon’s chest.

“Tsk, too smart for our own good. Just be sure to not ** this up. There aren’t any other versions of us to sacrifice. Be sure to call our new constitution something cool and flashy.”

Junior turned his head and winked toward Saru and Lilith.

In the next moment, he turned into numerous motes of black light, swirling around and eventually into Dyon’s body.

Even though the two women knew they were one in the same… They couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss.

Dyon didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Maybe to Saru and Lilith, Junior was just him with a few extra memories. However, to Dyon himself, Junior was a brother he had come to know for over a hundred years. Watching him disappear just like that for the sake of perfecting his body left Dyon at such a loss that he didn’t react immediately to the change.

It was only after a moment, when the barriers to Junior’s mind almost perfectly fused with his own, did he understand that Junior had never been another person to begin with. But, had always been him…

Still, the bitter taste in his mouth remained.

Dyon didn’t spend much time philosophizing. However he couldn’t help but think… was every version of him really the same person? Was it different to get to know a ten year old version of himself versus a hundred year old version of himself? What about if this version of himself had more than a hundred years worth of memories and experiences that were completely separate to his own?

Unfortunately, Dyon didn’t have a chance to brood on this matter for very long, because he could immediately feel that his skeleton was being reforged by a dense black qi.

Death God Body had always been one of the top three defensive constitutions. However, unlike Titan Diamond Body which relied on flesh and diamond skin, or the Silver Mirror Constitution which relied on qi, the Death God Body reforged the bone into a deep black that made steel seem comparatively malleable.

This was precisely the reason why Orcus’ skeleton remained even so many trillions of years beyond his death, and why it was the perfect catalyst for Junior’s birth.

Now that Dyon’s body was changing once more, he had to take hold of this opportunity. Ironically, he would be using the Heaven’s help to break away from its existence.

In a state of awakening like this, Dyon’s body broke down into its most elementary pieces. It was now that his chance became the most optimal. It was simply impossible for him to continue thinking of Junior in such a state. If he wanted to honor Junior’s memory… Then he could only maximize this gift he left behind.

During this past half month, Dyon’s comprehension of fundamental runes had reached an astronomical level. He already believed that he could perfectly control every fundamental rune that constructed the mortal plane. In fact, if he had the time, he could rebuild a much better Inner World for himself.

However, at this moment, he turned all of that knowledge toward himself. What he wanted wasn’t the perfect refined body. That was impossible with his current strength and knowledge. But, what he could do was lay a malleable foundation that he could build upon in the future.

Dyon already had the perfect blue print: Inner World: Sanctuary.

What made this the best technique of their world wasn’t only its great qi reserves or even its godly domain. Rather, it was its ability to improve a foundation one had already laid!

Dyon latched onto his small one-meter world, undergoing countless calculations a second.

Junior’s words hadn’t fallen on deaf ears. He had a constitution for his soul, his qi, and two for his body. At the same time, his mortal body was the perfect fusion of the three paths.

Thinking to this point, Dyon didn’t hesitate to make his Sovereign Flame infused Perfect Fusion Meridians as the foundation of it all.
