Death… And Me

Chapter 957 - In The Realm Of Gods

"What do you mean by that? The system was the one who said that it found these coordinates, wasn\'t it? How come it has no other information?" Rean said in response.

[That\'s the weird part. It only found the coordinates on its own. It doesn\'t say why it selected it or if there was even any reason whatsoever. Perhaps the system considered that using the demon beasts\' portal wasn\'t a good idea.]

Kentucky couldn\'t help but point out...after recovering from his sadness from joining them against his will. "Isn\'t that bad? If the system brought us here because it wanted to keep us safe, doesn\'t that mean Calina, Qia, and Zuo are in danger? They weren\'t transferred to this place like we were."

Rean and Roan narrowed their eyes in response.

[As I said, it\'s only a possibility. There isn\'t enough information to reach that conclusion. Who knows? They might be in an even better situation than ours.] Sister Orb tried to ease the mood.

Roan then shook his head and put those thoughts behind, saying, "Whatever. Since there\'s no way to know that for now, we might as well ignore it for the moment." As always, he was very direct. "So, do you at least know where we are, Sister Orb?"

[No idea.] Sister Orb was as useless as ever.

Without much choice, everyone could only take flight and check their surroundings...or so they tried. "We can\'t fly?" Everyone noticed that they simply couldn\'t leave the ground at all.

[You can\'t. Only those above the Transition Realm can fly in the Realm of Gods.] Sister Orb explained.

"Above the Transition Realm?!" Kentucky exclaimed before he immediately closed his beak with his wings. One couldn\'t talk about the Transition Realm, or they would be punished by the heavens...or that\'s how it was supposed to be. "Errr...nothing happened?"

[Yeap. The restriction to talk about the Transition Realm only happens in the Realm of Mortals. That\'s because you need to reach the Transition Realm if you wish to ascend to this place. In the Realm of Gods, the Transition Realm doesn\'t mean much, so the heavens here simply don\'t care if you talk about it or not.]

"I see..." Kentucky sighed in relief. He saw how powerful the backlash was once, so he was afraid he wouldn\'t even survive.

Roan ignored Kentucky as he changed the topic. "So, only those at the Transition Realm are able to fly. I quite like it."

Rean, who was still worried about Qia, couldn\'t help but ask, "Do you know if there\'s a way to go where Qia and the others were transported?"

[No. I don\'t even know where we are. How can I know where they\'re located? I have no idea whether we were teleported somewhere close or on the other side of the Realm of Gods altogether. Well, at least they have the Golden Drohare with them, so hiding shouldn\'t be an issue if necessary.]

Roan noticed an important point in Sister Orb\'s words. "You said \'the other side of the Realm of Gods.\' Do you mean that we\'re on the same planet?"

[Not exactly.] Sister Orb replied. [Well, you aren\'t totally wrong. The Realm of Gods is a ridiculously huge landmass. Let alone one planet, even if you fit hundreds of thousands of planets worth of land, you wouldn\'t get even close to the total size of the Realm of Gods. Don\'t ask me how far it extends because I have no idea. Some even believe the Realm of Gods might be infinite. Of course, I don\'t think that\'s true.]

Rean then looked at the skies and finally understood something. "No wonder it\'s daytime even though I can\'t see a sun. Does the Realm of Gods have nighttime?"

[It does. It\'s just that you won\'t see any stars, just a long and dark sky that extends forever. As for why we have daytime, I have no idea. Maybe it\'s because of the Divine Energy. Perhaps some power is acting over the land. Who knows?]

Celis waited for Sister Orb to give all that explanation before finally asking about what mattered the most for him. "What is this Divine Energy? Can we use it for cultivation? How good is it? Is there anything we must pay attention to before absorbing this energy? What was the transformation we passed through?"

[That\'s a lot of questions. Alright, the answer to your first question first. Divine Energy is what you could call the Realm of Gods\' Spiritual Energy.]

[The answer to your second question. Yes, you can use it for cultivation.]

[As for the third question, it\'s infinitely superior to Spiritual Energy. It can keep the foundation a lot sturdier during cultivation. It makes it easy to find one\'s path. Breakthroughs happen more easily as well. Also, there are no impurities in Divine Energy, so the more, the better.]

[For the fourth question...no, there isn\'t anything you need to pay attention to while absorbing it. However, I recommend revising your cultivation manual if you have any. You will see that Divine Energy acts very differently inside your body. Oh well, Celis and Kentucky are demon beasts, so I believe they don\'t even have cultivation manuals to start with. As for Rean and Roan, the system will modify your manuals automatically.]

[If there\'s anything bad about it, then it\'s probably the restrictions it applies to one\'s body. For example, you can\'t fly without being a bird with wings before the Transition Realm. There\'s also the issue of Divine Sense not reaching very far. By the way, it\'s called Divine Sense here, not Spiritual Sense. Roan tried to use Spiritual Sense before the transformation, so if you try to use Spiritual Sense right now, you will see that it changed as well. That\'s Divine Sense.]

[And lastly, the fifth question. The transformation was done so that your bodies could absorb Divine Energy into your dantians and cores. After all, they were made to hold Spiritual Energy so far. Naturally, they couldn\'t do the same with Divine Energy. Take a quick look at your meridians, dantians, and cores. You\'ll see what I\'m talking about.]

Rean\'s group nodded and tried everything Sister Orb talked about.
