Death… And Me

Chapter 2487 There... is?

Celis continued. ”Wood Laws are a variation of these two laws of water and earth, so just one of the two wouldnʼt work either. Sure enough, I could tell they were there because of the Wood Laws, but I couldnʼt touch them. Thatʼs when I understood that it wasnʼt either of these laws.”

”If it wasnʼt Earth nor Water, then what could it be?” Celis thought about the event. ”Only then did I perceive something. Isnʼt Luan a Space Affinity Cultivator? Space isnʼt exactly an Element, but thatʼs still Luanʼs affinity. Then... what else do I, a World Swallowing Cedar, have? Obviously, my ʼabsorbing powers,ʼ which are at the top of all races. That thought immediately opened the door to a new world.. No, it only showed me the entrance... I already knew that world since birth. The Laws of Absorption...”

Celis then sighed. ”Well, to be honest, I donʼt even know if Laws of Absorption area the right name. Perhaps I should call it Laws of Glutony? Laws of Greed? All of them seem fit. Nonetheless, those were the laws I was lacking, laws that my World Swallowing Cedar Race absolutely needs to advance further.”

Rean didnʼt lose the opportunity. ”Then, how fast can you absorb Divine Origin Energy now that you touched those Laws of Absorption or whatever?”

Celis then used the last few Divine origin Cores around to make a demonstration. His Roots soon attached to them, absorbing the energy inside like dry sand absorbs water. It only took Celis a few minutes to completely dry them up. ”This is just the initial result. I only touched the Laws of Absorption and havenʼt really compreheend anything. Iʼm sure I can be even faster in the future.”

Rean, Roan, and Kentucky were surprised to see that. Celis was at least two times faster than before, only losing to the absorption rate of a breakthrough. If he had this kind of power of absorption before, the twinsʼ group would have saved hundreds of years of time. ”We are truly lucky to have you on our team, Celis,” Rean couldnʼt help but comment.

”Hahaha!” Celis laughed in response. ”Iʼm the lucky one here. Had you not appeared back in the Zasfin Planet, I would probably still be trapped by the Zasfins up to this day. I didnʼt even know the Space-Time Realm existed, let alone cultivate until reaching it. Thank you.”

Roan didnʼt care much about that sentimental moment and just voiced his doubts. ”It feels weird... Celis, these Laws of Absorption are indeed very good because we have Divine Origin Energy Cores. There is no need for us to convert Divine Energy into Divine Origin Energy. However, what if we didnʼt have them? It doesnʼt matter how fast you can absorb normal Divine Energy. If your conversion rate canʼt make up for the extra energy, your cultivation would advance at the same speed.”

Celis agreed with Roan there. ”Thatʼs true. However, did you forget the other abilities my World Swallowing Cedar race has?”

Roanʼs eyes lit up. ”I see... You can absorb other peopleʼs energy during battles and even their life force. If you add your Laws of Absorption to it during your Energy Draining Domain, just how fearsome would it be...”

Celis was happy. ”Exactly. I might not have the combat power that Kentucky, Rean, or you have, but in a battle of attrition, Iʼm absolutely certain even you three together wouldnʼt last as much as I. If the four of us are together against an enemy...”

Rean could already see it. ”With us four together, Iʼm not afraid even if we had to fight against Kinblei.”

Kinblei was the Peak Stage Space-Time Realm evil cultivator. Not only that, but he also was a lot stronger than what you would expect from someone at his level. He even fought a Peak Stage Space-Time Realm from the Vruves to a standstill, which showed his power nearing that of a Divinity Realm expert.

Celisʼs happiness then disappeared as he remembered something. ”Roan... is it even possible to create a pill to help comprehend Laws of Absorption? This seems to be a type of law very hard to appear if not for races like mine.”

Roan was indeed worried about that point. ”I know. Of the pills I created, the easiest ones were obviously the Light and Dark laws pills. Not just because Rean and I have Light and Dark Element Affinities, but also because we had the chance to acquire information regarding them back in the Underworld and Heavens.”

”Your Earth Life Pill was definitely the hardest one to come by. Wood Affinity Experts are very rare since this is not a mainstream affinity. Nonetheless, they do exist, let alone Demon Plants of various races. Pretty much all Demon Plants are Wood Affinity Experts. After searching a lot and using Reanʼs communication system, I finally created the recipe for the Earth Life Pill.”

”But what about Absorption? Greed? Gluttony? Or whatever the name is? If we donʼt even know the name, how can I search for it?” Roan asked. ”Of course, you are also lucky.”

”Lucky?” Celis was confused. ”Why?”

Roan explained. ”There is no such thing as a ready-made pill recipe. All of them had to be researched from zero. Your Laws of Absorption are no different. Iʼll try to look for information regarding your laws. But even if I canʼt find it, I can still attempt to create one. My pills are all unique, even though I used othersʼ references. Iʼm sure that given enough time, I can create a recipe for Laws of Absorption.”

Roan also added. ”Besides, the Alchemy Workshop was now upgraded and the equipment available made everything much easier. With the specialists that have worked with me all this while, sooner or later, we will find the right combination.”

Celis quickly nodded. ”Alright. If you need help, let me know.”

”I obviously will need your help. As the only one capable of using Laws of Absorption here, I need your input into the research.” Roan then narrowed his eyes. ”The only problem is the level of your understanding regarding these laws. You just touched them, so it will take quite some time until we can come up with something, and thatʼs already considering all our advantages.”

Rean and Celis went silent. Indeed, there was nothing they could do about it... or so they thought.Youʼll discover the inception of this content at n0v@lbin★

”What are you talking about? There is obviously someone we can ask about these laws,” Kentucky suddenly said.

”There... is?” Rean, Roan, and Celis looked at Kentucky in surprise. ”Who?”

Kentucky smiled. ”Beelzebub.”
