Death… And Me

Chapter 1044 – Separation

'How come,' Rean asked.

Roan didn't answer. Instead, he asked Sister Orb something else first. 'Sister Orb, our cultivations are connected to each other, right? Is it limited by distance?'

[No. Unless you leave the Realm of Gods completely, you will still be connected.] Sister Orb replied.

Rean couldn't help but ask in response, 'Just how the hell can Divine Energy travel between us through such distances this easily?'

[You are wrong to think of it that way, Rean.] Sister Orb responded. [It doesn't need to travel at all. Think of it as a ring. It's just that this ring is made of space and time laws and exists in another plane. It doesn't matter how far you are from each other. This ring will stay the same size.]

'Space and time laws?' Roan felt that Sister Orb was up to something there.

[There's no point in me talking about it right now. Once you reach the necessary cultivation level, you will understand.]

Roan nodded in response. 'Alright, you already answered my question anyway.'

With that, Roan explained why he said that Celis didn't need to come. 'As you know, our cultivations can be pulled by a single member. That means, if Celis stays here and keeps cultivating, he will pull our cultivations with him. Because of the Divine Veins, it's probably faster for Celis to cultivate here alone than if the four of us cultivated together outside.'

Everyone had to admit it made sense. However, Celis somewhat didn't like the idea. 'Hey, if you do that, wouldn't I be the only one cultivating for the four of us at the same time?'

Roan shrugged his shoulders as he replied, 'Would you rather leave the Divine Veins behind and cultivate slower somewhere else with us?'

Rean also added, 'Roan and I have always cultivated regularly. It's not because we're leaving you here that we would stop completely.'

Even with that, Kentucky saw a problem. 'Hey, but what about my nest on Celis. One of the reasons Celis and I can cultivate faster is because of our pact. It's all thanks to that that we can match Rean and Roan even though they have the system on their side. Would it be slower if Celis and I separated?'

Rean, Roan, and Kentucky then looked at Celis. In the end, it depended on whether he thought the Divine Veins would be more worthwhile than staying with Kentucky. 'Hmm…I don't know how good all those Divine Veins would be without testing them first. The best thing would be if you could leave Kentucky as well. If that happens, then the two of us can greatly push our cultivations.'

The problem was the size of the Realm of Gods, so Rean explained, 'That would make things complicated. Without a Demon Bird just like Kentucky to take us flying, our journey might take several months. I've checked where Erqs Forest is located. If Roan and I don't find any hindrances all the way to Erqs Forest and move as fast as we can, we'll take around eight months to get there.'

One must remember how long the caravan took to bring the twins to Cosec, and they were already over halfway there from Huvol City when they joined. That…was just the distance between a city and another. This also explained why the assemblies took one hundred years to take place each time. That's because traveling was a pain!

'To think eight months of travel still wouldn't bring you two out of the Kamos Kingdom, just some forest north from here…' Celis couldn't help but find it astounding how gigantic the Realm of Gods was.

Rean and Roan nodded in agreement. 'Anyway, if Kentucky brings us there flying, this time would be cut to somewhere around a month and a half. Of course, that would mean three months if it's a round trip.'

Kentucky then raised his wing, telling all of them, 'I vote for staying. I have a lot of girls as my fans here too. I don't want to leave now.'

The twins didn't even bother to complain about the pervert bird anymore. 'Celis, would you make sure that Kentucky also trains while staying here? Otherwise, he'll just stay in the nest and play with the girls for the rest of his life.'

Kentucky felt excluded from the conversation even though he was the topic. 'Fuck you! I don't need anyone to check on me. The great Kentucky is very diligent.'

'I doubt so,' Rean, Roan, and Celis replied at the same time.

Of course, that only made the bird angrier. 'Hmph! Then just watch me! When you two are back, I'll challenge you to a battle. Look how I'll wipe the ground with your faces.'

Rean sighed as he shook his head and shrugged his shoulders. 'Alright, alright.' After that, he looked at Roan and asked him, 'What do you think? I wanted to get there as fast as possible to prevent losing contact with this fairy. However, having Celis and Kentucky cultivating here with the Divine Veins will really boost our cultivation speed by a lot.'

Roan pondered over the issue. The point was how big the chances were that this fairy had anything to do with Calina and Qia at all. Roan wasn't delusional. They had never met a fairy before, so the chances were so low that they might call it zero. 'Considering our chances, I would rather take the longer trip. At least, it will serve as training for us both. We will have a bigger chance of reaching the Demon Beasts' side of the Realm of Gods with higher cultivation than through this fairy, after all.'

Rean nodded after that. 'Very well. We will travel alone this time.' Rean then looked at Celis and Kentucky, telling them, 'We will also cultivate every time possible. However, our advancement will mostly rely on the two of you since you can use Celis's ability and your pact while staying close to the Divine Veins.'

Celis and Kentucky nodded in response. 'Leave it to us.. We will drag you up to the Late or maybe even the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm before you make your way back.'
