Chapter 3638 The Venue
"..."
Davis carefully watched Evelynn mine. Her antics became funny to watch after some time, making him and the others relax as they watched her mine the immortal crystals.
"I didn't expect first mother to be so funny."
Eterna sat at the edge of the pool and giggled.
"Oh, she is fun..."
Davis nodded proudly while Mingzhi gave a side-eye, knowing he was eying Evelynn's fun bags. However, Mingzhi had to admit the experience was like watching a streamer play a mining game.
Seeing that Evelynn was safe, they diverted their attention to Isabella and Shirley.
Isabella seemed to reach the hidden cave behind a lavafall while Shirley still seemed to be on her way to searching a Hidden Pagoda, traversing on the mountain range.
It wasn't long before Isabella encountered Altross.
They heard him say something that incensed each and every one of them before Isabella escaped using an escape talisman.
"What's a demon spawn...?"
Celestia asked.
She had come out of the pool and was lying on Natalya's body comfortably. When they heard her question, everyone felt guilty for some reason. Celestia was so innocent because Eterna looked like she already understood a bit, her eyes turning cold like those of her mother, Shirley.
"It's nothing, Celestia. Just a bunch of people jealous of our talents and want to mock us with insults."
Eterna harrumphed in her cute voice as she shrugged.
She was lying on Davis as she said that, causing Davis to be moved before he patted her head and inwardly praised her.
"Celestia, come here."
Davis beckoned, and Celestia did so obediently. She stood beside him, causing him to lift her up and place her on his lap to Eterna's side, holding them dear.
Davis didn't know what to say.
It wasn't like Mingzhi laughed. She was speechless.
However, they both knew they had to teach their children reality, but they didn't know how to go about it as they also felt like they shouldn't be advocating killing to their children. They felt it was enough if they dirtied their hands but clearly, such wishful thinking wasn't entertained by Eterna and Celestia's mothers.
It was they who were half-hearted about it, making Davis and Mingzhi feel ashamed.
It was now obvious to them that before Isabella and Shirley departed, they imbued their values onto their children without holding back.
Nonetheless, looking at Isabella, who was finally out of danger, he let go of them.
He had wanted to close their eyes before they see something gory but fortunately, Isabella wasn't in danger anymore. Eventually, she managed to regroup with Crystia and Noctis, which made him sigh in relief.
By this time, Shirley also found a huge tree in the distance.
They followed her journey while Eterna went full fan mode, cheering on her mother until Shirley and Dewzai arrived near the huge tree.
The two of them were flabbergasted.
Davis and the others were also flabbergasted as they noticed the difference between the Eternal Lumina Tree and this tree, not to mention the Empyrean Stage Crystal Beasts.
"What the hell is this Candidacy supposed to be?" Mingzhi fumed, "There's no way Immortal Kings could beat Empyreans..."
"Does that mean once all the seals are lifted, it is possible that they would all be entering the Immortal Emperor Stage...?"
Natalya inclined her head and wondered out loud.
The others also made some deductions, but Myria finally opened her mouth.
"I think I know what this place is..."
"Did you recognize from the tree?"
Davis asked. He wanted to ask her if she recognized the mammoth tree. If yes, then she might know its habitat as well.
Myria nodded, her expression churning with a bit of disbelief.
"It should've been obvious from the name. This is most likely the Crystal Dimension, a repeatedly occurring Minor Dimension in the Three-Layered Universe that carries an almost endless amount of immortal crystals, although the number of appearances can be counted on one hand..."
