The first thing Yasenia did after she returned was to order the loot and send each power a part of her spoils of war, as agreed previously. 

Of course, she wouldn't be silly enough to send items useful to her. The way she separated them made sure that she kept everything that interested her. 

There was also one treasure Yasenia didn't reveal when speaking with the leaders. It was in the Garuda Patriarch ring, and when she found it, she was quite surprised. This single item was more useful than any mountain of low-level treasures.

After ordering all the treasures with the help of her ring, Yasenia used her communication device. "Honey, Baby, can you come to my office?"

Kali heard the message and told Yasenia to wait a few minutes until she finished concocting her pill. 

Angel also asked for a bit of time because she was mid-formation-building. After finishing it, she put down the Formation Pen and went to see Yasenia. 

In the meantime, Yasenia took out the item and held it in her hand. 

It was a rock with a stormy aura around it. Its aura was profound enough to be considered above the Heaven rank, and the energy's purity would confuse an ignorant cultivator, making them think that it was a Natural Treasure. 

What Yasenia didn't know was that the second she took out the rock, Kali's fox ears straightened as a feeling of attraction caused her to almost fail her pill concoction. 'This aura… It comes from Yasenia's place?' The fox woman couldn't help but laugh. 'What did she get this time?' 

Angel was the first to arrive, and after opening the door and peeking inside, she saw Yasenia sitting on her comfortable chair while looking at a strange rock.

She trotted inside and reached Yasenia's side. Before she could speak, she felt something soft but firm coiling around her waist and lifting her. She was turned around mid-air, and then her little butt was seated on Yasenia's lap. 

Two arms went around her waist as her body sank into a world of softness.

Then, a breathy and seductive voice caressed her hears. "Why are you sneaking around, baby?"

Angel's heart pounded. Even after so many years, she still couldn't get used to the utterly sensual voice of her lover. She looked sideways, meeting with a pair of enchanting golden eyes with vertical pupils. Then, with a shy voice, Angel spoke. "Um, you were focused on that rock, so I didn't want to interrupt." 

Yasenia laughed and leaned forward, gently caressing Angel's lips with hers. "What is more important than you, baby?"

Angel melted in her arms as her lips were savored as if they were ice cream. 'I'm melting~.'

After a few seconds of kissing Angel, Yasenia separated. Looking at the expression of comfort of her baby, she couldn't help but laugh. "I'll tell you a bit later why I called you here. I want to speak with Kali first." 

Angel twisted her body to sit sideways and hugged Yasenia, snuggling in her embrace. Yasenia's curves gently pressed against her as she hid her face in the crook of her neck, making her feel blissful. 

Yasenia's left hand caressed her back while the other hand held that rock Angel saw. The cutie asked as she looked at that strange rock. "What is this? It has clouds around it?"

The dragoness answered. "Well, if I guessed correctly, this should be part of Kali's Natural Treasure."

Angel blinked, confused. Yasenia chuckled, kissing her forehead. "You might've forgotten, but Kali's [Whether Controlling Primal Stone] is not whole. It was a Natural Treasure that was broken in the past, and the shard Kali has is just one piece of the entire thing… Or so Valeria and the others said." 

Angel nodded. "I see. So, this rock is part of it?"

Yasenia nodded. "I'm not entirely sure, and that's why I called honey, but I'm more than eighty percent sure." 

Kali's gentle and nature-like voice was heard from the side. "Well, you are right, Yasenia. It is part of the treasure."

They both looked to the side, gazing at the graceful fox-lady walking toward them at a gentle pace. Her movements were in harmony with her surroundings, giving her an otherworldly aura, and her tree tails gently danced behind her, adding a playful charm to her being. 

Angel blinked, surprised. "Wow~! Kali, since when did you have such a demeanor?" 

Kali tilted her head, unaware of her own changes. "What do you mean?"

She didn't realize her changes because her current demeanor was innate, enhanced by her bloodline and innate skill awakenings. With Yasenia's constant efforts to make Kali more and more comfortable with herself and her Origin Fox bloodline slowly swallowing her human bloodline, Kali's natural aura was increasingly being revealed. 

Yasenia laughed and beckoned Kali. "Don't worry about it, honey. Come here."

Kali smiled gently and approached. As she came closer, the dragoness made space on her lap and sat Kali on her other leg. 

With both her dears on her lap, Yasenia circled their waist and used her tail to move the rock in front of Kali. "This is for you, honey."

Kali grabbed it and looked at it curiously. After a while, she discovered its name engraved in its aura thanks to the [Weather Controlling Primal Stone]. "This stone is called [Rain Storm Meteorite]. Sadly, it's an even smaller part of the whole compared to what I have, but discovering it is quite lucky."

Yasenia nodded. "It feels like Fate had some dealings in this. After all, it's too coincidental that this thing appears here, in a New World."

Valeria's voice reached them. "You are wrong this time. It really is just a coincidence." 

Yasenia blinked and then laughed. "Really? Then, aren't we too lucky?" 

Valeria commented. "Well, the fact that you landed in Distancia might be related to this stone. After all, the [Weather Controlling Primal Stone] is very mysterious. While I still don't know its exact origin, I can tell that it is extraordinary. It most likely comes from a high-level world." 

The girls nodded. 

Kali summoned the Primal Stone from her Dantian, and when both items felt each other presence, they attracted like magnets. 

In an instant, both of them merged, and the room's atmosphere changed. Atmospheric events like rain, wind, thunder, lightning, and snow appeared one after another, filling the entire room. 

Thankfully, everything was nothing but an illusion, so the room remained the same. After both rocks combined, Kali felt a sharp pain on her finger, and her blood flew toward the rock. 

Yasenia frowned for a moment. Valeria commented. "Feel its aura like we taught you in the secret realm."

The dragoness calmed down and released an energy ripple. Then, she felt a strong and destructive force from the rock, but there was no maliciousness, making her relax. 

After it merged completely and absorbed Kali's blood, it flew inside her and rested on her Dantian. 

Kali blinked twice and muttered. "It is now a high-level Transcendence Treasure. It had two small breakthroughs from the low-level Transcendence Treasure."

Angel exclaimed. "Then, it has become the item with the most quality we own other than Yasenia's unfair treasures." 

Yasenia's lips twitched. "What do you mean unfair?"

Angel pouted. "You didn't get them personally, so they don't count!" 

The dragoness was amused and asked teasingly. "What about your inheritance or the Natural Treasures?" 

Angel hmphed. "You know what I mean. I'm speaking about normal treasures we earned."

Yasenia chuckled and pecked her pouty lips. "En, I understand." 

Angel asked Kali. "Did its name change?"

Kali was about to ask why it would change, but when she checked, it really did change, making her swallow the words she was about to say.

"It really did. It is now called [Weather Controlling Primal Meteorite]."

The two girls acknowledged, and Yasenia turned toward Angel. "The reason I call you here is to ask you to create a few formations." 

Angel asked about the details, and Yasenia explained. 

She wanted her to prepare formations that would aid the leaders who joined the alliance in their training. It would also work as practice for her baby and as a way to fulfill part of her promises to them. 

Knowing that Yasenia was done, Kali and Angel were about to leave, but Yasenia kept them by her side for a while more while she worked. They happily obliged and received Yasenia's pampering as their dragoness worked. 

Her serious face when dealing with sect matters was extremely charming, making both of them look at Yasenia's face dazed. 

Other than that, the news of the army's defeat spread far and wide quicker than those who wanted to contain the information could react. After all, with the new alliance members using their own channels, it wasn't hard to spread the news around, especially those that were as thundering as this one. 

It wasn't an everyday thing that an army of 30 million got so miserably beaten down. Not to mention, a new and upcoming power defeated them. 

What was even more unbelievable was that it wasn't another army that defeated them but fifty fairies with otherworldly strength. 

If people had to choose to believe it or not, they wouldn't. However, the evidence was clear. From the 20,000 Epoch Cores, only 16,000 managed to come back, with a few hundred thousand lives lost just because of collateral damage. 

The death toll was staggering, considering that only 50 people did it.

For beings that were considered top powerhouses to be killed in such big numbers by a small group of 50 was fantastical, even for cultivators.

Time moved quickly after that, and after two weeks of work, Yasenia finally created a comprehensive system for the seniors. Similar to the Astral Sky Shop in her clan, but for the alliance. 

Yasenia knew that they would not be that eager to work with her if she tried to act as their leader. That's why she thought of an alliance at that time. 

Instead of a power with a single master, creating a group tied by benefits was best for now. In this way, everyone would have a small range of self-agency, just needing to answer the Alliance's calls occasionally. 

Then, adding a reputation system and internal economy, outside capital influence would be kept at a minimum.

Even if someone had billions of Flawless Parus, they would still be unable to buy the top benefits that constituted the core secrets of the Alliance. 

Moreover, while Yasenia was acting as a leader for now, once her strength caught up, she would be able to comfortably swallow the entire thing under the shade of her ever-growing wing. 

For now, though, Yasenia was not going to share Spiritual Cultivation methods, but when she was finally sure that she could leave Distancia, she would open it. 

She didn't make any haste to increase the strength of the other leaders of the alliance. First, let her catch up. Then, they would talk about allowing the leaders to get stronger. 

Other than that, she asked that if any power wanted to send a producer, like an alchemist, blacksmith, or something similar, they would need to make a heavenly oath not to divulge any information they learned without permission. 

With this and many more details and benefits, Yasenia created a comprehensive power system that would reward those who were loyal and would also prevent core secrets from leaking while maintaining a semblance of unity until she could take over. 

Tatyana, Mirrory, and Valeria reviewed it with her, and other than a few loopholes in the oaths that could be exploited by those knowledgeable and that Yasenia missed, they didn't change much at all. 

The dragoness wrote the final letter to all the leaders, including all of this information, and then she smiled. "Done. It has taken a while, but it should be worth it."

Now that Yasenia would dip her feet in Distancia's deep waters, she had cooperated with the leaders to expand her intelligence network. 

Since day one, this network that Tatyana developed had been a big help, spotting dangers even before they could do anything and neutralizing them. 

Now, with the leaders' help, her shadow had finally spread across the most important places of the entire world, underwater cities included. 

People didn't know, but her intelligence organization had more than five million people spread across the entire land, 100 times more than people in her sect.

The way Tatyana used to increase the numbers was by assimilating existing underground powers. Like a real shadow, Tatyana had swallowed most of the independent underground organizations, making her an ever-present power before anyone could even realize it. 

Not even Tengliu and the others knew that Yasenia's information network had developed to this extent. Only the top figures of the sect knew a little about it, and those who knew were under strict oaths.

While reviewing important files, one caught her attention. "Hm? Fu Lang Zu is bringing forward his wedding with Zephyrith?"

The dragoness frowned and began looking at the details.
