”He is telling the truth. I am Wyattʼs elder sister, and we share the same bloodline. You can check if you want,” Dalie said, noticing the skepticism in the Field Marshalʼs eyes. She drew blood from her palm, intent on proving her connection to Wyatt and establishing their shared lineage.

The Field Marshal was taken aback, startled by Dalieʼs bold gesture, especially seeing her draw blood. This incident stirred questions in the Field Marshalʼs mind about her understanding of celestials. ʼSince when did celestials start to bleed?” she thought but soon dismissed it, assuming Dalie might have created an incarnation using Wyattʼs blood. This could explain her resemblance to Wyatt and the claim of a shared bloodline.

”Dalie, stop. Thereʼs no need for that,” Wyatt said, intervening before she could further pressure the Field Marshal into verifying their bloodline.

”Yes, Your Highness Dalie. Thereʼs no need for a blood test. I trust your word,” the Field Marshal added, playing along despite her skepticism about Wyatt and Dalie being siblings to humor the celestial.

”Wyatt, why donʼt you call me ʼelder sisterʼ? If you had, there wouldnʼt have been such misunderstandings,” Dalie pointed at Wyatt, blaming him for the Field Marshalʼs doubt. She had wanted to bring this up for some time and now had the perfect reason.

”Thatʼs not it,” Wyatt replied, dismissing her complaint before abruptly changing the topic. ”The space furnace array formation is going strong.” He then entered the arrayʼs storage section, where numerous two-pound bars of refined L.SG were neatly stacked. Wyatt had failed to monitor the array formation because of the disturbance ealier, but the abundance of refined bars indicated that the array was functioning well.

”You know, you donʼt need this array to extract resources. I can do it for you. Now that Iʼm a true celestial and can feel the rule sources I donʼt need to depend on these resources for sustenance anymore, so I could gather and store them for you,” Dalie generously offered to her younger brother, choosing not to bring up that he wasnʼt willing to call her elder sister or mention that he had previously attempted to take her resources without permission or that he hadnʼt consulted her about mining activities after establishing their relationship as siblings.

Though she no longer needed these resources, Dalie shouldnʼt overlook the fact that before becoming a complete celestial, she had to rely on these supplements to maintain her existence as relying solely on energy from two suns- two of the

remaining creations of the celestial whose remains were used to create her-would have been insufficient to sustain her.

In her eagerness to have a family, Dalie was blind to the fact that Wyatt was simply taking advantage of her. However, Wyatʼs crime wasnʼt intention but out of ignorance. Because Wyatt had stopped his study of the celestial array formation midway had yet to realize the importance of the resources buried in the realmʼs crust for Dalicʼs survival before he unknowingly helped her become a complete celestial.

He wasnʼt that the majority of the resources gathered by the celestial array formation from the meteors and asteroid were continuously used to supplement the array itself, along with energy from its two suns. The formation was neither as self-sufficient nor as efficient as it appeared on the surface. Nearly ninety percent of its collected resources were used to power the array, with the rest stored as reserves for low-yield

seasons.

Considering that Dalie had never seen her creator, every inch of her realmʼs crust should have been rich with rare resources collected from meteors over millennia. Since, no one had mined ever mined her crust. However, Wyatt had found only a single LSG deposit since his arrival and Henricks, who had been there before, had assumed the realm was barren based on his experience on it.

This suggested that the celestial array formation had totally failed in its purpose to gather resources from the meteors and astroids, which could explain why her creator might have abandoned it. Dalie had long feared this possibility but had consoled herself over the several millenniums with one question: if the array was truly worthless, why hadnʼt her creator taken the celestial array formation core and repurposed it, given its value?

”About that, I owe you an apology. I was greedy for the resources in your realmʼs crust and began mining without considering that they might belong to someone. Iʼm sorry,” Wyatt admitted, feeling ashamed. His actions now seemed similar to the dark races he had recently grown to despise.

Realizing his mistake, Wyatt felt it was wrong not to have contacted the realmʼs will upon his arrival or to have sought permission to mine its resources. He had behaved as a demon merchant might, trespassing, claiming the realm as his own, and mining its resources without respect. Knowing he was in the wrong, he asked Dalie for forgiveness.

Hearing Wyattʼs apology, the Field Marshal felt her blood run cold, recalling how she had pushed him to continue mining until the unknown threat appeared. Though Wyatt hadnʼt informed her of the threatʼs details, she had a strong feeling that Dalie was the one and that she might have overheard her insistence on mining the LSG deposit. Gathering her courage, the Field Marshal asked for Dalieʼs forgiveness. ”Your Highness Dalie, please forgive me for my insolent remarks. It was not my intention to steal from you, I hope you can forgive me.”

”Itʼs okay; itʼs all water under the bridge. You donʼt have to sweat over such small things,” Dalie forgave the duo and then with a wave of her hand, she used her celestial force to unearth the entire 15.6-cubic-mile LSG deposit, saying, ”Consider this a gift from an elder sister to her little brother.” Soon, she employed a spatial disaster to refine it, neatly arranging the refined LSG into stacks of two-pound bricks-all in under a minute. Now that she had established a space rule stream, Dalie was finally able to showcase her true might in terms of spatial rule mastery.
