Death… And Me

Chapter 2181 Optimal Example

Of course, the twins still had one more thing to try. ”Alright, having cultivation upgrades is good and all, but the fact is that there isnʼt enough Rank Four Divine Stones to keep us up all the way. It is painful, but we will have to try the Divine Origin Energy Cores we got from the Spaceship.”

Rean sighed but was forced to agree. ”Letʼs give it a try then. Sister Orb, how many cores are  present in all those containers?”

[A lot! Even after you gave Spiegel some, you still have hundreds of thousands inside. Tanxan wasnʼt kidding when he told you that it should be enough to easily reach the Space-Time or even the Divinity Realm,] said Sister Orb.

Rean nodded, satisfied with the answer. He then quickly used his connection with the Soul Gem Realm and teleported a thousand of those cores straight into the hole. Naturally, he first turned off the circuitry formation and removed the Rank Four Divine Stones. ”Okay, letʼs see how many times we can accelerate.”

-1000 times acceleration- Divine Origin Energy Cores.

”It maxed out...” Rean was taken aback by that number. However, after thinking a little, he understood it made sense. ”Well, only at Rank Seven do the Divine Stones have Divine Origin Energy inside, and they are mixed with normal Divine Energy. These cores are pure Divine Origin Energy only, so they are definitely much higher in value.”

Out of curiosity, Rean decided to select a thousand times acceleration. ”Perhaps there is so much energy inside that it will take a lot more than ten seconds for each one of them to be depleted.”

The realm went through the brightest glow of golden light it had been so far as it accelerated to a thousand times the speed. In the end, Rean was right. It did take more than ten seconds for a Divine Origin Energy Core to be completely used up. However, the result wasnʼt that much interesting. Thatʼs because it took just 30 seconds instead, which was obviously still a very low number. ”Even Divine Origin Energy canʼt keep up with the formationʼs belly...” Rean couldnʼt help but lament.

Roan wasnʼt disappointed, though. ”Stop the bullshit and just select fifty times the speed. If the proportion is right, fifty times the speed should give a very nice result.”

Rean nodded and quickly reduced the speed of the formation. Now, the time inside the Dimensional Realm was ʼonlyʼ fifty times faster than outside.

[Well, you two can sit down and wait now. I donʼt think the first Core will be used any time soon,] said Sister Orb.  𝑛𝐎𝓥𝑒𝑙𝑢𝓢𝐛.𝐜𝑂𝓂

Sure enough, the twins simply sat down and began to cultivate together with Celis. Fifty times was a very good number that they were willing to wait. Still, if it was possible, they would also try a hundred times. But first, they needed to see the results with only fifty.

And there they waited, cultivating as the days went by. This wasnʼt an exact science since the type of energy and the realm itself changed from time to time. Consumption was slightly different at every second. Still, the formation was operating at only one-twentieth of its capacity, while the cores had way more energy than the formation could use if it was at full speed. That combination of results showed a surprising result many days later.

*Crack!*

Suddenly, one of the Divine Energy cores inside the hole split in half, showing the empty runes and especially space inside. Letʼs not forget those cores were failures, but they were still pieces of technological equipment. It was obvious that they had many circuitry-related parts and runes inside them to hold the Divine Origin Energy.

Rean and Roan looked at each other, seeing the satisfied expressions on their faces. ”Twelve days! A single core lasted twelve fucking days!”

Roan nodded. ”At fifth times the speed, only a little more than five hours and a half passed in the outside world. We can definitely sustain this speed for a thousand years with our stock of Divine Origin Energy Cores. This is truly a great result. But then again, we are using a resource that we definitely wonʼt find again in this Universe. Each Core we use is one Core that will never be replaced.”

Reanʼs mouth twitched. ”Why do you have to remind us of such a sad fact? Couldnʼt you let me feel happy for a few more minutes?”

”Since when do I care about your happiness?” Roan was merciless as always.

”Luan, are you truly okay with someone like this guy as a father?” Rean turned his attention to Luan, who was also cultivating.

”Father is just realistic. I like it.” Naturally, Luan took Roanʼs side without thinking twice.

Even Roan couldnʼt hide the little bit of pride he felt for Luan. ”Good boy. Do you see this man?” Asked Roan while pointing at Rean. ”This is the optimal example of what kind of person you must avoid at all costs. Do not turn like this thing.”

”Yes, Father!” Luan nodded straight away.

Rean felt like he was in a losing battle having two against one there. ”Hmph! You both will turn into two sad old geezers, mark my words.”

He then shifted his attention back to the formation. ”Anyway, should we try to speed the formation 100 times and see how long it takes to consume the cores?”

Roan immediately shook his head. ”No can do. Seeing how the formation works, doubling the speed will definitely spend a lot more than just doubling the energy. The last thing I want is to run out of cores since we will use them for cultivation as well. How idiotic would it look like if we donʼt have the energy to reach the Space-Time realm in the end?”

”Thatʼs true,” Rean agreed with him. ”In that case, we should now look at the upgrade list and see what we will spend on the last 1633215 Destiny Points available.”

”What else?” Roan asked. ”We will obviously buy the cultivation upgrades. Letʼs go.”
