Death… And Me

Chapter 3811: It Is Decided!

Rean was just about to step out of the old man’s office when he remembered something. ”Oh, right! I forgot to ask, who are the guys in the next batch of the Main Core Protection?”

The man’s mouth twitched. ”Are you mocking me? Do you really think such information would be available for everyone to see? When you mentioned wanting to convince someone, I assumed you actually knew someone who was going there.”

Rean scratched the back of his head. Of course, he didn’t know. ”Well, everyone wants those positions, so even if I know someone who is going there, I doubt they would have told me about it.”

”Exactly!” The old man looked at Rean as if he were an idiot. ”The names of those going there in the next batch are classified, and as far as I know, your Class Seven Propagator position does not give you access to it. Now, stop wasting my time and just leave. You aren’t the only one using my office to report back, you know?”

Rean left the office and went to explore the Hondel Branch. He wasn’t paying much attention to what was happening around, though. Instead, he was talking to Roan and the others in the Dimensional Realm. ’What do we do?’

Kentucky shrugged. ’Should be pretty simple. Let’s just beat someone with a Higher Class Position, copy his ID, take his appearance, and then check this list that guy mentioned.’

Roan narrowed his eyes. Things weren’t that simple. ’Sister Orb, use Xanfel’s ID and check the conditions to obtain a higher Class Position.’

[Alright, give me a moment.]

Sister Orb went silent for a few seconds, finally coming up with the information.

[It is not a secret, actually. It is available in the exclusive network for the Propagators of Class Six and above. Class Seven is already the limit of what Xanfel can acquire. It is not about authority, but pure and simple cultivation. Class Eight Propagators are required to be at least in the Divinity Realm.]

’As I thought...’ Roan wasn’t surprised to hear that. ’Simply put, beating someone with a Class Eight ID would be meaningless since neither of us would be able to copy the guy’s cultivation. If we want to be in the next batch of experts going for the Main Core Protection, we will need to find them directly.’

’How about just copying the ID of someone with a high position and checking the list quickly?’ Rean added. ’No, forget it. There is no way to wipe out the traces that the ID accessed the list. If the owner of the ID checks it out himself, he will understand immediately that someone has used his ID somehow. Such a thing is supposed to be impossible, and it actually is without our Celestial Soul System’s support. That would be the same as exposing that someone can do what we can, and it would only make our lives harder later on.’

’Then there is only one way to find out someone,’ Celis came up with an idea. ’We have to lure them to us.’

’Lure, uh?’ Roan understood where Celis was coming from. ’Sister Orb, access this universe network and check its online market for Space-Time Realm experts. I want you to look for what kind of items are available for those who want an easier time comprehending laws.’

Sister Orb understood. [Oh! Yes, that might work!]

She once again accessed the network, and with the help of the system’s processing power, she checked millions upon millions of offers, trades, markets, treasure houses, auction lists, etc. Finally, she came up with her answer.

[Roan, you mentioned recently that your pill, which can increase one’s comprehension towards law permanently, was something unique back in the Lisan Universe. However, you also noted that it might not be the case in the Werdlem Empire. Well, you were right. I’m looking here, and there are indeed pills with permanent effects for laws comprehension. However, they are absolutely damn expensive. We are talking about Rank Ten Divine Stones!]

Roan faintly smiled. ’Now, check for me what the payment is to protect the Main Core of the Corrupted System. If I’m not wrong, such pills are likely within the rewards for that.’

Sister Orb found the answer instantly. [And you are correct again. However, the requirements are quite harsh. To get a Laws Comprehension Pill, you will have to spend ten thousand years protecting the Main Core; you have no right to leave the place until it is done.]

’Harsh? Hmph!’ Roan didn’t think so at all. ’That is actually pretty cheap. Space-Time Realm Experts have infinite lifespans, so what are just some ten thousand years? Were I not able to make those pills myself, I would be highly interested in it.’

Then, Roan asked Sister Orb something else. ’Alright, make a new post in the markets. Xenfal is willing to give a Laws Comprehension Pill for a position in the next batch of experts going for the Main Core Protection.’

Zangeshu couldn’t help but ask. ’Wouldn’t that be too suspicious? It seems like these pills are the ultimate goal for many of the Space-Time Realm Experts going there. You’d better come up with a good reason to want to exchange your pill for that.’

’There is no need,’ Roan shook his head. ’The pills are indeed one of the best rewards, but they aren’t everything.’

As Roan said that, a giant list of rewards was open in front of him. That was the list of things you could ask in exchange for your time protecting the Main Core. The Laws Pills were some of the most expensive, but they weren’t all. There were plenty of other things that were just as expensive or even more.

’Simply put, we can just say that what we want is different from the pill, and that’s why we are willing to trade,’ he said.

Rean quickly scanned the same list, his eyes stopping on a particular item. ’Oh! Isn’t this one interesting?’ Then, he shared that option with Roan, Kentucky, and Celis.

’Starlight Energy!’

And so, the group quickly reached the same conclusion.

’It is decided!’
