Death… And Me

Chapter 1933 It is not the Time

”Thatʼs surprising,” Kentucky answered. ”I didnʼt expect the Minokawas to live in the middle of some islands. I thought theyʼd live in some mountain range or something like that.”

”Hahaha!” Jeskli-go couldnʼt help but laugh out loud when he heard that. ”Well, youʼve got the wrong idea here. Yes, we do live in the middle of a bunch of islands. However, theyʼre way higher than the islands you find in the middle of the ocean.”

Only then did Kentucky remember his fatherʼs own floating island, the one with the feather. ”Seems like you guys like those islands a lot.”

”Exactly,” Jeskli-go confirmed Kentuckyʼs words. ”I donʼt even know how many there are right now since it has been a long time since I counted. Anyways, the day you see them, youʼll know you have arrived there, especially due to the different passage of time that occurs there.”

”Different passage of time...” Well, the name of the floating islands already told him a lot. Kentucky still remembered that natural formation that changed the flow of time back in the Mortal Realm. It wasnʼt surprising for something like that to exist in the Realm of Gods.

However, it was at that moment that Kentucky remembered something else. ʼWait! The Floating Islands of Time?! Are you kidding me?!ʼ

Yes, the Floating Islands of Time. Or, to be more specific, the other place in the Realm of Gods that also had a Foundation Fragment! Rean and Roan would eventually have to go there to retrieve it. Itʼs just that Kentucky had never thought it was also the lair of the Minokawas.

Jeskli-go noticed the change in Kentuckyʼs expression but wasnʼt surprised. ”Well, not everyone can see a place where time flows differently. Thereʼs no need to worry, though. We live in a part of the island where it doesnʼt affect us that much.”

Kentucky immediately decided to ask more questions. He couldnʼt let Jeskli leave now. ”Why would a place with a difference in time help the Minokawasʼ cultivation?”

”That youʼll have to see for yourself,” Jeskli answered. ”Now then, Iʼve been here for too long already. If it wasnʼt a personal request from the Dragon Race, I wouldnʼt have left my Divine Tree Nest at all.”

”Wait! You need to tell me more about the islands!” Kentucky still insisted.

Unfortunately for him, Jeskli-go was not in the mood to talk. ”Just ask some of the Dragon Raceʼs higher members. Youʼre connected to those twins, arenʼt you? It shouldnʼt be that hard. Anyways, Iʼm out.” Jeskli-go then opened a fissure in space and entered. However, before it closed, he sent Kentucky a Divine Sense message. ʼKeep your bloodline hidden until the Elemental Space Realm, at least. Only then could you say that you have some power to defend yourself.ʼ With that, the fissure disappeared, leaving only Kentucky alone at the summit of the mountain.

ʼThat canʼt do. I need to go back and talk to Rean and Roan about this.ʼ Kentucky quickly came down from the mountain and reached its base.

Naturally, thatʼs where Celis was waiting for him. ”Oh, youʼre back. So, how is it? Are we going to the Minokawa Race Territory, or are we staying?”

Kentucky faintly smiled and used his Divine Sense to explain everything to Celis. It went without saying that Celis was also surprised by that coincidence. ʼThe Floating Islands of Time? Thatʼs the Minokawa Raceʼs home? Really?ʼ

Kentucky nodded in response. ʼLetʼs go back to the sect and talk.ʼ

Without wasting time, Kentucky and Celis flew back to the System Sect, where Rean and Roan were doing their own things.

Rean noticed Kentucky and Celisʼs approach due to their connection and immediately asked the same thing. ”Oh, youʼre back. Did you return to gather your things and leave for the Minokawa Race?”

Kentucky shook his head, saying, ”I thought about doing that. It seems like all of them are like me, lazy. Those who like to cultivate and train are quite rare. However, I decided to stay. What would happen to you guys if I wasnʼt around to help, huh?”

At the same time he said those words, he used his Divine Sense to tell Rean about the Floating Islands of Time. ʼAnd thatʼs basically what I got from Jeskli-go. The Minokawa Raceʼs home just so happens to be the same place where you need to retrieve the Universe Foundationʼs Fragment.ʼ

Rean would be lying if he said it didnʼt surprise him. ʼThis fucking Destiny shit from the system. It feels like even the fact we found your egg back in the Mortal Realm was already connected to our main objective.ʼ

Obviously, Rean contacted Roan through their Soul Connection, who decided to enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. ʼCome inside. We can talk more there with Sister Orb.ʼ

After some time, they were in a place where no one would be able to eavesdrop. Kentucky, of course, was the first one to complain. ”Sister Orb, your system got me involved in this Universe shit before I was even born. Donʼt you have anything to say?”

[Me? I donʼt know anything. However, all of you know the twins have Destiny Attraction because of it, so why are you that surprised?]

”Are you saying you already expected it in the past?” Roan asked.

[Hmm... I wonʼt say I didnʼt consider that possibility. However, it was quite far-fetched, so I never mentioned it. Only now did I see that it might have really been the case.]

Sister Orb continued. [But itʼs a good thing, donʼt you think? I mean, Kentucky is a Minokawa, so you have the perfect excuse to visit his homeland in the future. We can go there, take the fragment, and get out without anyone saying anything.]

”I feel like Iʼm some kind of tool,” Kentucky couldnʼt help but feel bad about it.

Nevertheless, Rean found it strange. ”A bunch of floating islands where time runs differently... Kentucky doesnʼt seem to be from a race that would benefit from such a thing, so why?”

Roan shook his head in response, saying, ”Itʼs not the time.”
