Death… And Me

Chapter 2210 Worth Continuing

?

Rean spent the next few days working on the White and Black Stars, having already mastered the skills necessary to forge them. Of course, a big part of the reason he could do that so fast was because of the Soul Gem System. The Blacksmith Workshop's tools were something that you simply wouldn't find anywhere else in the Universe.

Finally, the last touches were made, giving birth to the newly upgraded weapons. Both were now at the Divine High-Level. "Hehehe, Sky Energy truly made things a lot easier. The weapons even got a little bit of affinity with Stellar Energy, although nothing worth mentioning." Yet, that little extra would make the weapons more resistant, which was the main attribute of Stellar Energy.

Rean then left the Blacksmith Workshop, feeling good about himself, quickly moving to the place where Roan was torturin- Ahem... training with Kentucky. 

*Bang, bang, boom!*

*Crash!*

As Rean approached, he quickly noticed a huge and sorrowful Divine Bird lying on a crater. Its defense, which it was so proud of, was nowhere to be seen. There were only countless broken scales and blade feathers. Naturally, that was Kentucky, who had 'the time of his life' while playing with Roan. "G-Give me a -bre-break, will you?"

Surprisingly, Roan wasn't uncatched. Instead, there were a few injuries on his body as he stood high in the skies. "Stop the bullshit. You can simply use Instant Recovery and heal yourself. Besides, you improved a lot thanks to the awakening of your Regal Bloodline. You can even cause a few injuries on me now, so you definitely can do more than that."

"I have no more Divine Energy at all! I need to recover! You shouldn't have that much Divine Energy, either. Come on, just a moment will be enough!" Kentucky still complained as he struggled to come out of the crater.

Rean, seeing that, couldn't help but ask Roan. "I know he used the blood in that quil to further awaken his Regal Bloodline. Still, to injure you like that... Is his Regal Bloodline really that strong?"

Roan glanced at Rean on the side and nodded. "It is pretty good indeed. From what he said, he already unsealed 90% of it. Sure, another reason is the fact that the system's upgrades are also valid for him, but it is still a great increase of combat power."

Rean then took out the new White Star Scythe, passing it to Roan. "Well, here you go, then. Your new White Star Scythe definitely won't break if we try the same thing before. By the way, my cultivation got quite well in the time I spent in the blacksmith workshop, so I'm going out to try to learn how to use a Spatial Gate. Well, I have a pretty good idea already, so it shouldn't be a big issue."

Roan didn't mind. "Just share your memories of the opening method, and I will know as well," said Roan as he looked at his new Scythe. He could tell that it was a lot stronger and especially its little affinity with Stellar Energy. "Was it because you used Sky Energy to forge it?"

Rean smiled in response. "Yeap. Sky Energy has Stellar Energy within it, so the weapon got some affinity with it, although very small. Anyway, give it a try. As for me, I'm leaving." With a thought, Rean disappeared from inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

Roan looked at the new Scythe and immediately activated the Fourth Stage of Weapon Intent, Weapon Aura. Following that, he looked at a recovering big bird on the ground and couldn't help but smile coldly. "Well, since I have to give it a try, I will give it a try."

Kentucky felt like death itself had arrived when he saw Roan's expression. Well, it was death indeed... As for what happened next, it is better to not talk about it. Just know that Kentucky's Regal Bloodline received a great stimulation in the next few days to the point it almost got completely unsealed. Nothing better than a Life and Death situation to bring out one's best potential.

Outside of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, Rean stood still in the air, feeling the Spatial and Time laws around him. Naturally, it was countless times easier to touch the Spatial Laws than the time laws. Nonetheless, he had to use both if he wanted to open a Spatial Gate. 'Hum... the trick is not to fall in a time displacement while traveling inside the fabric of Space. That's where the Time Laws come into play... if I'm not wrong.'

Rean then used his Spatial Powers to open a fissure in Space, which quickly showed the Spatial Storms behind it. Fortunately, Rean's Spatial Control was just good enough to fend them off, so they weren't the real problem. Instead, Rean was trying to pick up the Time Laws inside before entering it. 'It's so messy inside. Everything is warped.'

Still, he decided to give it a try. He used his Spatial Gate to connect to a relatively close place, so even if it went wrong, he could at least prevent being randomly thrown somewhere in the Universe.

*Vup!*

Rean quickly entered the gate, where the Spatial Storms immediately assaulted his body. He kept his control over the Spatial Power, fending them off with some strain. That was already very good, considering that others wouldn't be able to do such a thing before the Space-Time Realm.

Above all, Rean used the rest of his concentration and Divine Origin Energy to control the Time Power inside the gate. It was the hardest party since his control was very small, and the messy laws behind the fabric of Space made things even more difficult. 'This shit is too complicated...'

Yet, little by little, Rean got a grasp of it. He was spending a lot of Divine Origin Energy but was progressing. Around a minute later, another gate appeared tens of thousands of kilometers away. Naturally, it was the destination Rean set before entering and where he came out.

Rean then sat on the ground while gasping for air. "Si-Sister Orb wasn't kidding. It will definitely take a lot of time if I keep going on like this." Yet, he was excited. "In any case, it is several times faster than we could ever hope to travel, even on Kentucky's back." He decided that it was worth continuing.
