Death… And Me

Chapter 1344 - Gone For Real

”Perhaps itʼs because Iʼm a mutated Minokawa that it didnʼt work on me,” Kentucky hypothesized. ”By the way, can we go now? Weʼre thankful for the help you gave us, but we still have a lot to do in this Lost Star Realm.”

The little girl obviously didnʼt like what just happened. However, she seemed to remember something before she gave up right after. ”Very well. I shouldnʼt be stopping the rest of you from continuing your journey anyway. Since I canʼt tame you, then I have no interest. Your companions didnʼt try to stop me either, so that should count for something.” The little girl turned around, preparing to leave.

However, Rean couldnʼt let that chance pass up, asking, ”Sorry, senior. Weʼre not very knowledgeable about this area. You said something about the Lost Star Selection, right? Would you mind explaining to us what itʼs about? As you can probably see, we arenʼt part of any of the top ten powers of the Lanqueas Continent.”

The little girl looked back at Rean and narrowed her eyes in response. ”Seems like I talked too much. Oh well, whatever. This could just be fate that brought us together.” She then began to explain, ”The Lost Star Selection is regarding a separate plane from where real immortals once lived... or so people believe.”

”Real immortals?” Rean and Roan were confused to hear that. ”We know that oneʼs lifespan increases the higher oneʼs cultivation realm becomes, but can one really become immortal?” Roan could be said to be immortal back when he was a Death Spirit. However, he wasnʼt considered a living being back then, so he knew that didnʼt count.

The girl shrugged her shoulders in response. ”Who knows? At the very least, Iʼve never seen one. People think itʼs related to real immortals because they donʼt know anyone capable of creating such a thing. But then again, this Lanqueas Continent is a very weak and far away place. What people canʼt do here, perhaps the people from the center of the Realm of Gods find it as easy as breathing. Just donʼt dwell on those words too much. Especially since no one found any remnants of real immortals or whatever lived in those ruins at the third level.”

She continued, ”Now then, about the Lost Star Selection. As Iʼve mentioned before, itʼs a separate plane that can be found in this Lost Star Realm. Those who gain access to it will be able to stay there for one week. The place is known for having unlimited Divine Origin Energy, so everyone wants to enter that place.”

Unlimited Divine Origin Energy! Naturally, Reanʼs group was astounded to hear that. Just a few hours inside the Divine Origin Energy was almost enough to jump an entire stage. With that in mind, how far could they cultivate if they had an unlimited supply of it for a whole week? Of course, Rean, Roan, Hurio, and Kentucky knew that once they entered the Elemental Transformation Realm, their cultivation speed would drop since itʼs a higher realm.

Nevertheless, they might be able to cultivate an entire realm with so much time. That alone was enough reason for those people from the top ten powers to monopolize it. At the very least, it was a much more efficient way to look for Divine Origin Energy than travel randomly everywhere in the Lost Star Realm. Finding those small patches of Divine Origin Energy was just too difficult.

”No wonder the top ten keep this secret hidden. They naturally donʼt want others to know.”

The little girl nodded in response, saying, ”However, thereʼs a cultivation limit to enter that place. The Transition Realm is as far as that plane can hold. If anyone above that realm tries to enter, the plane wonʼt be able to sustain their existences and will break apart in just a few minutes. Thatʼs why you wonʼt see anyone with a very high realm contending for it. To make full use of that place, you need cultivation that could last seven days without surpassing the Transition Realm.”

Roan immediately shook his head after that. ”Thatʼs not entirely correct, right? If Iʼm not wrong, a lot of the top ten powersʼ disciples who came have the right cultivation to go all the way to the peak of the Transition Realm. After that, they would use the remaining time they have to break through into the Void Tempering Realm. As long as they voluntarily leave that plane in the next few minutes, it wonʼt break apart. At the very least, I would do that.”

”Smart,” the little girl responded with a smile. ”Indeed, youʼll find quite a few cultivators in that threshold. After so many years, the top ten powers had already figured out that the best cultivation to have when you enter that plane is the Initial Stage of the Transition Realm. At most, they would be at the Middle Stage of the Transition Realm.”

Lilia couldnʼt help but become nervous after that, asking, ”Is it really okay to tell us that?”

The little girl shrugged her shoulders, replying, ”I donʼt think youʼll leave this place alive anyway, so who cares?” She also added, ”But you donʼt need to worry. I wonʼt say anything about you to the others, especially the hidden Dragon Wing Marks on your foreheads. I have to admit, thatʼs a very good concealing ability. If not because my cultivation is so much higher than yours, I wouldnʼt notice it either.”

Rean bitterly smiled after hearing that. Sure enough, his abilities had a limit at his cultivation level. ”Senior is being too courteous. Itʼs just some simple skill I learned in passing.”

The little girl didnʼt mind Reanʼs words, waving her hands as she replied, ”Well, Iʼm not here to pry into your secrets anyway. Although I canʼt intervene and believe you will die, Iʼll definitely pray that you pass the selection. That way, the Minokawa wonʼt die. I truly wish to see it again. Hehe!”

Roan ignored that last part and asked, ”How do we join this selection? Is it as we thought? Do we need all the marks from the three levels?”

The little girl nodded. ”Thatʼs correct. You need to find the other dragon pools in the next two levels since any other beast pools wonʼt work for you anymore. Once you gather all three marks... Well, letʼs keep that part a secret. I hope you enjoy it.”

Reanʼs group didnʼt have the time to ask about her last words, though. ”Alright, thatʼs all Iʼll tell you. It isnʼt much, but itʼs better than being completely oblivious. Oh, right! One last piece of information. The Divine Origin Energy isnʼt the only thing you can get in that plane. Whether you can make use of this information or not is up to you.” Right after saying those words, a breeze passed by, and the little girl soon disappeared.

Rean didnʼt give up, though. He immediately filled his throat with Divine Soul Power and shouted, ”Senior, you havenʼt told us your name!”

Surprisingly, he got an answer through a Divine Sense message. ʼHow unpolite of me. You can call me Aelrie Holamenor. Perhaps we will meet again in the Realm of Gods.ʼ

Rean then tried to ask a few more things, but he didnʼt receive an answer this time.. In other words, Aelrie Holamenor was gone for real.
