Death… And Me

Chapter 1738 Why Now?

Chapter 1738 Why Now?

??Celis could tell that Kentucky hadn't really explained everything. That's why he asked. Whether Libraia could tell the same thing or not was something they had no control over. In any case, Kentucky didn't mind since he was going to tell Celis anyway. It's just that he used Divine Sense to make sure Libraia wouldn't hear. Who knows, perhaps she left something behind to watch them.

??Celis was obviously shocked when he heard Kentucky's words. 'Wait! Does that mean I've made a pact with a Regal Divine Demon Bird?! Hahahaha! That's great!'

??Kentucky stuffed his chest in pride, replying, 'You better be! This grandfather was already amazing before, and I'll be even more so once I'm done here.'

??For Celis and Kentucky, who had a pact between them, it was very beneficial. Due to the pact, the more Kentucky evolved, the more the pact would benefit Celis. Well, that will also help the twins on the cultivation side, so it would be more apt to call it a win-win-win-win scenario. 

??That obviously raised Kentucky's confidence. So far, on the cultivation side, Celis, Rean, and Roan had contributed a lot. In the twins' case, they had the system which allowed their Soul Power and Divine Energy to fuse, creating Divine Soul Power. Celis and Kentucky got the same reward due to the connection between the four. Not to mention that anything related to cultivation also affected the Demon Bird and Tree. A good example was the Divine Energy Absorption upgrade, which Celis and Kentucky also received.

??In Celis's case, he was a World Swallowing Tree. It was innate to his race to be able to absorb a lot more Divine Energy than anyone else. Obviously, that contributed even more to the cultivation of the four. Kentucky was the only one that hadn't had anything to add to the cultivation of the four, only being able to cultivate normally. Now, however, his bloodline would definitely help a lot more. The pact will also influence Celis. Last but not least, Kentucky himself was getting stronger. How could he not feel happy from that?

??Kentucky then mentioned something else. 'However, you shouldn't look down on yourself, Celis. According to my father, Divine Demon Trees are much, much rarer than Divine Demon Birds. He did say I'm extremely lucky to have formed the pact with you.'

??Celis nodded, replying, 'Hmph! Obviously! We've seen so many Divine Demon Beasts so far, but I'm the only Divine Demon Tree. I've already suspected that I'm not very common. However, I'm sure that the chances of a Divine Demon Tree appearing in the Realm of Gods is a lot higher than in the Mortal Realm. After all, although we haven't seen other Divine Demon Trees, we did see quite a few normal ones.' Well, Celis still felt very good about that.

??Celis finally calmed down a while later as he thought about the other things Kentucky explained. 'So... that's why you plucked out your feather crown. Well, if that can hide your real identity, then it's fine.'

??Kentucky nodded, saying, 'Yes. In any case, my father also taught me a few innate skills from the Minokawas. The Kawa Blade Domain just so happened to be one of them. Even with my strength reduced to this level at the moment, I still managed to impress Libraia. That's really good.'

??'Innate skills, huh?' Celis mentioned. 'What else did you learn? Is there anything that might increase your cultivation speed?'

??'Can't you think about something else other than cultivation?' Kentucky couldn't help but ask.

??'I can't, and I don't need to,' Celis answered without even thinking twice. 'I'm a World Swallowing Tree, so cultivation means everything. So? Did you get something?'

??Kentucky shook his head, saying, 'No. The skills I learned are all battle-related.'

??'I see...' Celis would be lying if he said he wasn't a little disappointed. Nevertheless, he quickly recovered as the actual news was already good enough. 'Alright, just sit down and focus on your father's bloodline and your own. We need to head back to Jhiod Sect before it opens the portal to the center of the Realm of Gods.'

??Kentucky nodded and went back to lifting up the seal on his Regal Bloodline.

??And just like that, time began to pass. The twins continued their fights against members of the Jhiod Sect while Kentucky worked on his father's blood and the seal. Before they noticed, another two years went by.

??However, things were about to get a lot more interesting as the Jhiod Sect suddenly received a visit.

??In the Teleport Formation Hall, there was a separate room where one could see only a single teleport formation. Due to the size of the room, some might think that it was way too big for such a thing. Yet, the teleport formation was almost as big as the room itself. This formation had a few sect members watching over it every single day. So far, this teleport formation hadn't been activated for almost a hundred years now. 

??*Bzzzz...*

??Suddenly, a huge amount of Divine Energy began to emanate out of it as the formation itself started to activate. It was way beyond anything the other teleport formations in the sect could do, showing that it was a teleport coming from a very long distance.

??"This..." The only elder there at the moment was shocked to see what was happening. "Quick! Send a message to the Sect Master and the Core Elders! The teleport formation to the Jamai Sect is being activated!"

??"What?!" The disciples were taken aback.

??"What are you spacing out for? I told you to go pass the news. Bring the Sect Master here, now!" The elder got angry as he repeated his orders.

??"Y-Yes, Elder!" The disciples immediately left the building, not taking long to pass over the information.

??In less than a minute, many natural spatial runes began to appear around the teleport formation as several elders and the Sect Master himself used their Space Powers to come straight away.

??Sect Master Gean was puzzled, though. "That doesn't make sense... There are still two years and a half before the Jamai Selection starts. Why is the formation activating now?"
