Death… And Me

Chapter 3099  Not What It Seemed

Suddenly, Tomoe reappeared back in the teleport formation back in the World Splitting Sect. Roan entered the Dimensional Realm there, using the flash of silver light of the formation to cover his disappearance. Naturally, that was the exit he left behind on his side. Until he comes out of the Dimensional Realm on Rean's side, that exit will continue to exist there unless Rean moves over a million kilometers away from that point.

The guys taking care of the formation looked at Tomoe, puzzled. The formation definitely didn't activate right now, so how exactly did Tomoe appear there? Well, that was something for Tomoe to deal with.

Back on Rean's side, Roan reappeared outside, this time completely deleting the exit back into the World Splitting Sect. "One less thing to care about."

Rean nodded. "That girl is the picture of straightforwardness. Above all, she isn't anyone important, so no one will really pay attention to her too much. She is one of the geniuses of the World Splitting Sect, but they have plenty of Sword Cultivation Geniuses. She is perfect and the most trustworthy type of person to take care of Clansto and Tiaba."

[Since you two are done with the annoying parts, come back inside,] Sister Orb called out. [Don't forget you got quite a few Celestial Points recently, so it is time to check the Upgrade List.]

Those words reminded Rean. "Oh! I almost forgot about it. The system did say something about new options now available in the Upgrade List, didn't it?]

"It did," Roan agreed. "Let's go take a look."

The two quickly entered the Dimensional Realm, touching the Control Orb and sending their Spiritual Energy and Sense inside. Finally, the list of upgrades appeared in their minds.

[Celestial Points: 53]

[Universal Cultivation Enhancement Level 4: 50 Celestial Points]

That was the first thing the twins paid attention to. "With this one, we could increase the speed of absorption of cultivation energies by another 5%..." Rean commented.

Roan shook his head, though. "We don't really need it at the moment. Until we reach the Void Tempering Realm, there is no point in increasing our cultivation speed since it is already ridiculously fast. Another 5% will make no difference in the short term, and we should get to the Void Tempering Realm not too long from now once I finish the pills."

Rean nodded and put that aside.

[Nascent Soul Revival: 10 Celestial Points]

[Soul Connection Range Upgrade Level 7: 60 Celestial Points] (One Light Year - Almost Ten Trillion Kilometers)

[Celestial Destiny Shift: 1000000 Celestial Points]

The twins didn't even bother mentioning those options. Their nascent souls are fine, they don't need to increase their connection range at all, and the Destiny Shift might never be used due to that idiotic price. Instead, they paid attention to the two new options available. [The Call: 50 Celestial Points - Warning: This option can only be used once due to the restrictions of the Werdlem Empire's Bubble.]

[Celestial Clue: Based on the Task]

The twins were compltely lost about these options. "What are they about, Sister Orb?"

Sister Orb quickly answered. [The Celestial Clue is all about searching for anything. Do you want to know the answer to a difficult question? It will give you a clue. Do you want to know the location of something important? It can give you a clue about the direction to follow, some landmark or whatever.]

The twins had to admit it could be useful. "Not bad... Can we test it out without buying the clue?"

[Sure, give it a try.] Sister Orb also wanted to see it.

Roan quickly came up with a question. "System, where is the easiest place to find Dragon or Dragonkin blood on this planet?"

[Analysing...]

[Clue cost: 07 Celestial Points]

[Accept the clue?]

"No." Roan obviously didn't take that. Rean turned in Roan's direction. "Didn't seem too bad of a choice. If we can get the blood, you can finish the pill, and we can get to the Void Tempering Realm straight away.]

Roan shook his head in response. "It is not worth it. You saw how hard it is to gain Celestial Points, didn't you? Besides, even though Divine Demon Beast races are protected in this Universe, it shouldn't be all that difficult for the two of us to get our hands in some blood. Don't forget that Foliana mentioned the Dragon and Dragonkin Races can give their blood voluntarily or even sell it. It is not against the rules of the Werdlem Empire in those cases."

"But Foliana also mentioned that it would be extremely difficulty," Rean added. "Well, if it is the two of us, we probably can think about something, and the information where to find them here shouldn't be hard to acquire."

"Exactly," Roan also thought that.

Out of curiosity, Rean asked the system another thing. "System, give me a clue of how to go back to the Lisan Universe as fast as possible."

[Analysing...]

The system stayed silent for almost thirty minutes, making the twins wonder if it got stuck or something. Of course, that wasn't the case, and the answer appeared at some point.

[Clue Cost: 102867 Celestial Points]

[Accept the clue?]

Rean felt helpless. "Accept," he ended up saying, just to see what would happen.

[No balance available. You are too poor.]

Rean's mouth twitched. "Fuck this piece of shit!"

Roan ignored Rean's antics and focused on what mattered. "Alright, we know what the Celestial Clue is about. Sister Orb, what is this The Call thing?"

[I wish I knew...] Sister Orb was just as curious. [There is simply no explanation in the system. No, to be more specific, I can't get access to this option's description. It is kind of a gamble, to be honest.]

Roan hated gambles. "Simply put, useless."

"Wait!" Rean thought of something. "Look at the name. Perhaps it would allow us to call someone? Who knows? We might be able to get in contact with Lisan. It did say something about the Werdlem Empire's Bubble, right? That might be the reason we can only use it once since it is trying to communicate to the outside."

Roan glanced at him. He still didn't like gambles, but he had to admit he wanted to know what happened to Lisan after they left. "50 Celestial Points... and we don't even know if what you said is the option's real use."

Rean pointed at the control orb. "Still, isn't 50 Celestial Points worth a try? Even if the chances of knowing anything are low? Sure, it might have nothing to do with what I just said, but I'm willing to spend it just for the chance of hearing about Qia and the others."

Roan finally relented. "I hate to admit it, but you are right." He definitely wanted to know what happened to Calina and his idiotic son. It's just that he felt like they were getting the wrong idea about it... also... the option made him feel annoyed for some reason.

[The Call: 50 Celestial Points - Warning: This option can only be used once due to the restrictions of the Werdlem Empire's Bubble.]

[Accept?]

"Yes!" The twins answered straight away.

[Please step out of the Celestial Dimensional Realm.]

The twins didn't expect that request but did what was told.

Back in the small cave, the system's voice continued.

[Establishing the connection...]

The twins' souls shined for a moment, seeming like the system was using them to look for something. Suddenly...

*BANG!*

The entire cave burst, unable to fit a certain confused newcomer.

"Ouch... What happened?" Said a very familiar voice.

The newcomer then opened his wings, shouting for everyone to hear. "Who dares to disturb the Great Kentucky's slumber?"

Kentucky looked down, noticing an extremely annoyed expression. "Ah..." Even though the appearance of that new body was different, the dark lines on his face were unmistakable. "I see, I must be dreaming. I guess I will just go back to sleep."

Roan, who had several of his bones broken after being pressed against the cave wall, finally understood why looking at 'The Call' option made him feel so angry. "Sleep your ass!"
