Death… And Me

Chapter 2851: No Denial

Chapter 2851: No Denial

?

"Alright, so the clouds entered our Universe because the four of you were having a breakthrough into the Divinity Realm, correct?" Sansara asked, a little skeptical.

"We don't know," Rean shook his head, though. "We made a full research regarding the Divinity Realm breakthrough. Yet, nowhere in the information we got says anything about Purple Clouds coming from outside the Universe to strike us with Lightning."

Roan looked at the Semi-Celestials. "Kafan and Leandro seemed to mention something regarding a Tribulation. Won't you tell us more about that?"

Kafan heard about the Tribulation from Sister Orb, of course. Roan was just pretending to not know about it since the story they gave to the other Semi-Celestials was that Kafan was the one with some knowledge regarding the Tribulation.

Kafan naturally followed the script. "I heard about it back when I was still a Transition Realm Death Spirit."

"Transition Realm?!" The other Semi-Celestials were taken aback. Kafan was the oldest Semi-Celestial if you don't count Hyeoumu, so how long was it since he heard about it?

Kafan nodded and continued his fake story. "Yes. Unfortunately, I truly don't know much. I heard it from my master back then. At that time, I just found a few mentions about this Tribulation thing in one of my Master's Jade Slips. When I inquired my Master, he told me Tribulations are some kind of trial. However, he didn't elaborate. Instead, he simply told me that I would never see it in my life even if I reached the peak of cultivation. After that, I never asked again."

Kafan didn't create a big story since the other Semi-Celestials might notice he was just talking bullshit. Instead, he looked at Leandro right after. "What about you, Leandro?"

"I don't know much more than you do," Leandro answered. Of course, no one would completely believe him, but they still stayed quiet and heard him. "I also heard that Tribulations are some kind of trial, a trial to see if the targets are worth receiving the Celestial Laws. Don't ask me anything else. I don't know anything else or what it means being worth of the Celestial Laws. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you anyway."

The other Semi-Celestials didn't like Leandro's attitude, but they wouldn't start a fight over it either.

Black Locust turned his attention to the twins' group and continued his inquiries. "What can you tell us about the Celestial Laws?"

Gragatou knew what Black Locust meant. "Don't beat around the bush, Locust. Rean, Roan, Celis, Kentucky, do you think these Celestial Laws you absorbed could lead you to one day becoming Celestial Realm Experts?"

Indeed, that was the question in the minds of all Semi-Celestials in the area at the moment. The repercussions were also enormous. For example, what if the Celestial Realm required one to call those clouds during the Divinity Realm Breakthrough? If that was the case, then all the Semi-Celestials would be stuck in that realm forever.

Rean pondered a bit. "To answer that question we will have to ask our own. Seniors, when you tried to enter the Celestial Realm, did you feel the Celestial Laws? Are you able to control the Celestial Laws if you sacrifice your comprehension?"

The twins heard about it from Huban in the past. Huban said that one doesn't choose when they will try to enter the Celestial Realm. That moment simply appears, and that moment might be their only chance ever. However, even back then, Rean hadn't asked anything regarding the celestial laws. The twins were still in the Elemental Space Realm back then. It made no sense to ask about something they couldn't comprehend.

Sofrixa was the first one to answer. "We can feel them, but our power to change the laws as we see fit only works with the normal laws."

"I see..." Rean nodded and thought about it for a moment. "I will tell you what I can feel from my point of view. I have absorbed these Celestial Laws. And, as you know, we don't absorb laws; we comprehend them. That is the first main difference. Well, at least that is the case for me. What about you, Roan?"

Roan confirmed Rean's words. "It is the same here. As we all know, each law has its four sublaws. But... the Celestial Laws of Darkness feel like a fifth sublaw and, at the same time, not. It is hard to explain."

"Oh! I know how to speak about it!" Kentucky quickly intervened. "We need four sublaws to understand a law. Then, we fuse these four sublaws to understand a Major Law. The Celestial Laws of Dark and Light, in my view, work as an upgrade."

"An upgrade?" Kafan and the others got confused. "What kind of upgrade?"

"That's a very good way to put it, Kentucky," Rean smiled. "Yes, he is right. It feels like an upgrade. Instead of four sublaws, now we have five sublaws that we will need to merge during the Divinity Realm. Now I see how it works. You merge the four sublaws to comprehend a Major Law. But, if you merge the four sublaws and the Celestials Laws..."

Gragatou was the first one to pick up Rean's meaning. "If you merge the four sublaws and the celestial laws... you will understand the Celestial Laws of Light and Darkness."

Everyone looked at Gragatou, surprised. "Explain it better."

Kafan was the second one to see the truth. "That's why Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis absorbed the Celestial Laws!"

Gragatou laughed in response. "Hahaha! Yes, that's exactly the reason."

"We are confused here," Sofrixa complained, and the others agreed with him. No one there liked being left in the dark.

Rean continued from there. "Senior Gragatou and Kafan are correct. Did you forget what we just said? We 'ABSORBED' the Celestial Laws that we were hit with. Why? Because we are not Celestial Realm experts. We would never be able to merge the four normal sublaws and the Celestial Laws because we simply can't feel the Celestial Laws. However, now that we absorbed them through those lightnings, we can."

Finally, the others understood. "Simply put, the Celestial Laws you absorbed during the Tribulation are the missing piece necessary to comprehend a Celestial Law, correct?"

"Yes," Rean nodded. "I believe that once we merge the Celestial Laws and the Sublaws together, we will comprehend our own Celestial Laws. In my case, I will comprehend the Celestial Laws of Light and Darkness."

Black Locust then asked again. "But do you think it will lead to the Celestial Realm breakthrough?"

The twins' group went silent for a moment before Roan spoke. "We don't know. But... it feels

like it, don't you think?"

No one could deny that.
