Death… And Me

Chapter 1934 Well Known

”Itʼs about the Universe Foundation Fragment,” Roan answered.

Rean didnʼt need to hear it twice to understand the issue. ”I see... the Universe Foundation Fragment contains a balance of Dark and Light, Yin and Yang. The Minokawas have both Light and Dark Elements as affinities. Naturally, the fragment helps them with their cultivation.”

Kentucky nodded in agreement. ”I also thought the same thing. Jeskli-go said it was because of the ancestral land, but I wouldnʼt be surprised if it was due to the fragment itself.”

Roan also wondered. ”The problem here is whether they know of it or not. Thereʼs a good chance that the fragment is known or not by the Minokawa Race. After all, it wasnʼt like the Minokawas never thought or tried to understand why their cultivations got much better there.”

Rean pondered over it for a bit. ”Thatʼs weird. If the demon beasts knew about this fragment, they would have taken it away already. Itʼs pretty obvious by now that the experts of the devils, angels, and the Realm of Godsʼ races know about the fragments. Havenʼt they thought that the Floating Islands of Time might have one? I mean, it helps with both Light and Dark Element cultivations. Could it be they donʼt know about this specific trait of the Universe Foundation Fragments?”

[Itʼs a possibility. All of them know about the fragments. However, how many of them have seen one? But then again, those islands and their special properties should have caught the attention of the experts who know about the fragments. ]

”Correct.” Roan agreed with Sister Orb. ”There are some theories we can speculate. First, they know itʼs there and canʼt retrieve it. Second, they thought it might be there but havenʼt found it in the end. We just donʼt know if they gave up or if theyʼre still searching for it. Since the Minokawas live there, perhaps the ones who know about the Fragments arenʼt looking there anymore.”

Rean found it weird. ”The one who told us about the Floating Islands of Time was the devilʼs soul on the altar. Could it be that he was the only one who knew about it?”

”Very unlikely,” Roan didnʼt believe that. ”Chances were he received the information from someone else. How long have those islands been there? How many times did they search? Weʼll only know after going there by ourselves. What we can possibly conclude is that the fragment there hasnʼt been recovered yet. Or... it has been recovered, and the effects in the Minokawas is just a remnant of its power.”

”Sister Orb, are the fragments capable of affecting time?” Rean then asked another question that was bothering him.

[Theyʼre part of the foundation of the universe. Itʼd be strange if they didnʼt have anything to do with time and space, donʼt you think? Of course, the time imbalance there might be because of some formation, just like back in Sunkan.]

”Well, thatʼs true.” Rean could only accept that.

”Forget it for now.” Eventually, Roan decided. ”The only way to find out is to go to the Minokawa Raceʼs territory and use Sister Orb to check it. However, thereʼs no way we can leave this place for now. Instead, letʼs mark it as our first destination once we decide to leave this place. Obviously, you better not mention it to anyone, including the people in the sect.”

Rean, Celis, and Kentucky agreed with him. ”Itʼs good that we donʼt need to be in a hurry.”

Rean then looked at Kentucky. ”The guy said that you can ask the Dragon Race about the Floating Islands of Time. You might as well go to them and learn what you can.”

”Wouldnʼt it raise any suspicion?” Kentucky asked back. ”If one day we leave, they might think weʼre going there. The best thing would be for them to not know about it at all.”

”No need to worry,” Roan intervened. ”They know we have a Minokawa and that you want to know more about the Minokawa Race. For them, you would just be curious about whether you should leave or not. Did you forget? All Minokawas can cultivate much faster there, so it would be weird if you didnʼt show any interest instead.”

Kentucky decided to do it in the end. ”Alright, Iʼll ask them. So, are we done now?”

Everyone nodded, and the twins immediately connected to the outside world. Right after, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky reappeared in the Realm of Gods while Celis continued to cultivate as always.

”Hey, Rean.” Suddenly, Rawor called Reanʼs attention. ”Why did you leave all of a sudden? Weʼre in the middle of discussing the route of our communication formation.”

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. ”Didnʼt you hear? The Minokawa that we asked Placake to come here finally arrived. Well, he left already. Kentucky is also a Minokawa, so he wanted to talk about it. I wanted to know if he wanted to go away with the Minokawas or if he would stay. We have been friends for a very long time, after all.”

Rawor didnʼt find it strange. ”I see... any Minokawa would be tempted to live in the Floating Islands of Time. Truly, I envy such a perfect place. Theyʼre so lazy but get to cultivate so easily because of that. Worst of all, itʼs useless for other races unless they have both Dark and Light Element Affinities.”

”Is that so? Itʼs quite unfortunate that you need both for it to be useful,” Rean added.

Rawor didnʼt deny that. ”Indeed. Some spirits who had only Dark or Light Affinity tried to use the place. However, the opposite element only caused trouble. The fairies were a good example. Some even died because they couldnʼt separate the Dark Element from Light. You better not think about living there as it will only hinder your cultivation.”

”Thanks for the warning.”

ʼHey, how long will you make us wait? Come back!ʼ It was then that another Formation Master called them through Divine Sense.

Nevertheless, Rean thought on his way there, ʼIt seems like the Minokawa Raceʼs territory is quite well known between the Divine Demon Beasts.ʼ
