Death… And Me

Chapter 3737: 24/7

Of course, Rean wanted to hear more. ”Not so fast, Ice Cube. Let’s hear a little bit more first. Why tens of thousands of years, senior Ratria, senior Ploto? I’m a pretty amazing Formations Master, so I might be able to speed things up.”

Roan knew why, and that’s the reason he didn’t want to stay anymore. ”Because there is just not enough energy to create an attack powerful enough to defeat a Celestial Realm Expert, even if it is one past his Expiration Day, am I correct?”

”That’s exactly the case...” Ploto and Ratria were helpless about that, too. ”This land already has enough energy to probably destroy an entire continent of the Divine Realm. Normally, even a Divinity Realm Expert would be helpless against it. However, a Celestial Realm Expert, and a Universe Owner on top of that, is another story.”

Ratria continued from there. ”Be aware, this is something Soul Gem told us, but I believe it is true. You see, a Universe Owner has the power of his entire Universe to use at his will. It is not just the Celestial Laws. If he is in danger, the Universe itself would move to protect him as long as he is within range.”

”Ah!” Rean finally remembered. ”Right... Back in the war against Garisan, the Celestial Realm Expert on their side tried to attack our experts inside our Universe. Yet, our own Universe moved to stop his power, and our Universe back then wasn’t in very good condition. We weren’t the owner yet either, and the Universe was still very effective in reducing his power. If a healthy Universe’s power moves to protect its owner... Yes, forget about the energy in this land. You will need many times more than that.”

”We don’t know about this war of yours,” Ratria commented, ”but I believe you are right in your judgment. Besides, even if we had enough energy, we don’t even know where the Universe Owner is at the moment. The Ermmel Clan is the only one who knows his location, and there is no way they will tell us. They will wait as long as necessary until he grows weak enough so they can finish the job themselves. But for that...”

”For that, they will need even more time than you need to accumulate enough energy in this place,” Roan completed her words.

”Yes,” Ratria nodded. ”This war will take a very, very long time. This is not another Universe attacking us from outside. This is an internal war, with all five sides with similar levels of power. It is different from the Garisan Universe you mentioned, which originated from outside. At that time, you had your entire Universe united for one common cause, against one common enemy, right?”

Rean finally gave up as well. He could try something to help accumulate more energy in his land, but in the end, the energy necessary was just too ridiculous. Besides, this is a Natural Formation, not something made by someone’s hands. It had a perfect balance that was better left untouched. Rean still looked at the runes and the amazing amount of power they could carry. Some of those runes had so much that he wasn’t confident he could make a rune that could do the same.

”Do you at least have a way to find the Universe Owner?” Roan asked the most crucial question.

”We do,” Ratria answered with confidence. ”But we won’t put it into practice until we are certain we can kill him.”

Frife-Ni had been hearing so far, feeling more amazed the more he learned. ”Okay, Mom and Dad already told you all many things that I doubt many on our side know... Well, even I am amazed by some of the things they said. Anyway, with what you heard, you could even mobilize the Humanoid Races to stop our Demon Beasts’ Plans. It should be enough for you to trust us a little and speak about yourselves now, right?” He hasn’t forgotten how the twins stopped Kentucky several times from speaking too much.

Kentucky glanced at Roan, who was thinking about everything, countless scenarios playing in his mind. In the end, Roan agreed with Frife-Ni. ”I guess we can tell you more.”

”Great!” Kentucky was dying to speak of his experiences.

Roan warned him through Divine Sense, though. ’You can say whatever you want, but do not speak of the Celestial Soul System. That might actually put your parents in unnecessary danger, and you know that.’

Kentucky closed his mouth, swallowing hard. Yes, the system was on another level of secrecy. ’Alright.’

”Okay, let’s start with the war of Lisan Universe against the Garisan Universe,” Kentucky started from there.

He could have used Divine Sense to resume everything much faster, but he instead spoke, spoke, and spoke more. Rean and Roan didn’t stop him, as this was his first time seeing his parents. Even Roan had that little bit of sensibility not to intervene.

Now and then, Rean added some bits and pieces, and the conversation went on, lasting over a day. Kentucky truly spoke of everything in very fine detail and seemed very happy to do so.

That allowed Frife-Ni, Ratria-Ket, and Ploto-Ume to have a good idea of what Kentucky’s life was like. They, too, also spoke about their own time here in F974, and always asked many things about Kentucky’s adventures.

Then, came the piece of information that shocked them the most, the fact that Kentucky’s bloodline had actually evolved to a Celestial Bloodline, which is above the Regal Bloodline he was born with. He shared a little bit of his bloodline with his parents and his brother, allowing some of his real aura to escape near the trio. That terrified them... and made them proud to see a Minokawa had reached that far.

Ratria, Ploto, and Frife were unaware of the Celestial Realm Breakthrough requirements, so Kentucky also shared that. He explained to them that they needed to absorb Celestial Laws, and that he already possessed the Celestial Laws of Light and Dark within his soul. He only needed the cultivation level... and the gap to connect to the Celestial Energy World. Best chance? A Great Void Black Hole!

Over thirty hours went by, and you could say Kentucky started to create a real bond with his parents and brother now, even if just so slightly. ”Phew... and thus, here I am.”

Ratria couldn’t help but ask, still amazed by everything she heard. ”Just how many times were you close to death...?”

Rean and Kentucky pointed at Roan. ”24/7.”
