Chapter 2183 No Use For Hostages



Fortunately for Kentucky, his Divine Demon Bird Bloodline and cultivation made any Demon Beast around run away in fear. "Fuck, why can't they wait for me to be back first?" Kentucky got up and looked at the crater his body created on the ground. Of course, with his body defense, such a fall didn't leave as much as a scratch on his body. He simply sighed and took flight once again. He still had a lot of Demon Beasts to talk to.

Back in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, the twins finally got up after experiencing the pain, a type of pain that even Rean's pain-killing skill couldn't help about. "Sigh... Such an advanced system, and it still can't deal with this annoying part."

Roan didn't seem to mind. "A little pain for great benefits. Anyway, let's not waste time. Check if we can still buy more Universal Cultivation Enhancement."

Rean and Roan checked the Reward List, looking at the next level of the upgrade.

[Universal Cultivation Enhancement Level 3 - 500000 Destiny Points]

"That's more like it!" Rean couldn't help but feel happy. They just so happened to have almost the exact number of Destiny Points to buy this next level.

"Let's get it," said Roan.

[Universal Cultivation Enhancement Level 3 - 500000 Destiny Points]

[Destiny Points: 533215]

[Confirm Purchase?]

They braced themselves and confirmed. "Yes!"

[Purchased Confirmed]

[Initializing Upgrade]

Once again, a certain Black and White Bird fell from the skies somewhere else. It's just that the twins didn't really care about it at the moment since they were passing through the same pain.

Sometime later...

[Upgrade Completed]

The twins finally got up from the ground as a result. "It's finally over."

Rean then looked at Sister Orb, who was awfully silent during both upgrades. "How come you didn't start recording or making jokes about our pain this time?"

[Hum? Oh, that's because I already have enough content to make a movie. I will call it "No pain, no gain!"]

The twins' mouths twitched. They shouldn't have asked the Orb that question. They quickly put her antics on the back of their minds and asked something else. "So, 10% upgrade now, right?"

[Yes, that's pretty much it. You can ask Celis and confirm it with him,] said Sister Orb.

Sure enough, the twins contacted Celis straight away.

"It is great!" Celis was obviously ecstatic. "I'm able to absorb the Divine Origin Energy from the cores exactly 10% faster. This will be a huge difference as time goes by."I think you should take a look at

Hearing that, the next plan was pretty obvious. "Well, it is time to cultivate, I guess?"

Luan couldn't help but ask. "What about the Minokawa and that friend of his?"

Roan pondered a bit and nodded. "Indeed, I need to talk with those two before they start causing trouble."

[What trouble? Hahaha!] Sister Orb laughed in response. [As long as they are inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, they won't be able to do anything at all.]

Roan shook his head. "That's not the kind of trouble I'm talking about. Instead, I don't want them to grow even more suspicious than they are."

[Oh, now that I think about it, why did you bring those two into the Dimensional Realm?] Finally, Sister Orb had the chance to ask this question.

Rean was the one to answer, though. "What is that Demon Beast? A Minokawa, right? Where is the next Universe Foundation Fragment?"

[I see... The Floating Islands of Time... Also known as the Minokawas' home.]

"That's correct," Rean nodded. "We are going to use the Minokawa to get information about that place. Also, if possible, it would be even better if we could get his help when entering it."

Rean then looked at Roan. "Should we keep the Circuitry Formation Activated?"

Roan nodded. "We can. Each core takes thirteen days to be used, so it is already saving us time from the outside world. Fifty times faster will be a great help. Just keep at it."

[Oh, now that you got two levels of upgrades, I think there is a very good chance you can reach the Space-Time Realm before 1000 years have passed inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.]

"That also helps," the twins were obviously satisfied.

Rean, Roan, Luan, and Sister then teleported away. In the next moment, they were right in front of an enormous house that could fit even Kentucky without issues. Around them was a grass-flat land that extended as far as their eyes could see. That was obviously another place in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm planet.

Inside, there were two guests at the moment, Werin and Pulanli. Thanks to the last Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade, there were no more restrictions to cultivation level in the Dimensional Realm, so Pulanli's Space-Time Late Stage cultivation didn't cause any disturbances in the space around.

At the moment, Pulanli and Werin couldn't use any Divine Energy, Soul Power, or Divine Sense. If not because of their much stronger bodies, they would be no different than simple mortals. That said, they didn't notice when the twins' group arrived. "I say, they probably want to use us as leverage," said Pulanli to Werin.

Werin shook his head. "Leverance for what? Other than harmonizing with the entrance of the Ruins of the Stars, I don't have anything worth considering being kidnapped for. And it is not like you are that famous either."

Pulanli narrowed her eyes. "You do know I'm still a Space-Time Realm cultivator, right? I sure must be worth something in the humanoid territories of the Realm of Gods."

Werin shrugged his shoulders. "You don't even live there to start with. If not because of my Minokawa Race, you wouldn't even know that the Ruins of the Stars opened. You said it yourself in the past, didn't you? Even if you went back to the humanoid races, there wouldn't be a place for you."

"This..." Pulanli didn't get along with other cultivators, so she ended up leaving their territories thousands of years ago. Because of some past issues, the humanoid races didn't really mind her going away either. She only participated in the exploration of the Ruins of the Stars because she was close friends with Werin, one of the few Minokawas that could achieve the harmonization, and especially because Werin insisted he would only take part if his partner was Pulanli. "Fine, we are terrible Leverages, happy? I said it. However, our captors don't know that."

"We didn't, but now we do," it was then that a voice came from the house's entrance. There, Rean entered the building with a smile while Roan followed right behind. Naturally, they were not using their real appearances. "Too bad, though. We have absolutely no use for hostages anyway. We spared your lives for another reason. Besides, we bring you a deal that we believe you will be most happy to accept."
