Death… And Me

Chapter 723 - Better Be Ready

Chapter 723 - Better Be Ready


Rean was quite surprised to hear that, saying, "How so? If anything, this planet was pretty bad until a few months ago. Only recently did the ice disappear from what I know."


Phex shook his head as he explained, "I"m not talking about the environment. You might not know this, but this planet was very green in the past. It"s simply returning to its original form. Of course, it"ll take a very long time before it can compare to what it was back then."


Phex continued, "Anyway, the reason why the planet"s ice is melting is still unknown. What I want to talk about is the planet"s connection to the Divine Demon Beasts. No one knows why, but having a Divine Demon Beast bloodline in this world allows you to gain a few benefits." Phex looked at Kentucky right after and asked, "Have you never noticed? Your cultivation was probably increasing a lot faster than what it did back on the other planet."


Kentucky shook his head, responding, "I was only a Stage Three Demon Beast back then. With that said, I still didn"t have sentience. I don"t know if my cultivation is faster here than there. However, Rean told me that the Spiritual Energy around us right now is definitely denser than what it was for him in the other world."


Rean nodded, continuing where Kentucky left off as he said, "It"s true. The Spiritual Energy before the ice melted was severely lacking. But now that the ice is melting, its concentration far surpa.s.ses our previous planet. It wouldn"t be wrong to call it a paradise for cultivation."


Of course, Rean avoided mentioning that Kentucky"s cultivation speed didn"t increase. That"s because his cultivation was limited to the twins" speed. Even if his cultivation could be faster on this planet, there would be no way to know unless the connection with the twins was cut. However, it wasn"t that bad either. After all, Kentucky"s cultivation would be pushed forward if he fell behind thanks to the same reason. He would be able to match the twins" cultivation quite quickly.


Phex nodded soon after hearing that. "Well, it makes sense that you didn"t notice the difference because of the recent events. However, it"s definitely there. That"s why we have this many Divine Demon Beasts. It"s not only my grandchild and me. There"s also a Black Tortoise in the Sea Beasts" territory, a Basilisk who also lives in our Demon Beast Continent, and a White Fenrir who lives at the South Pole. This Minokawa is the sixth Divine Demon Beast on our planet at the moment."


While listening to Phex, Kentucky could not help but find something strange as he soon asked, "Wait! What about Gulan"s parents? You"re a Phoenix, and I know Blue Luans are connected to them. That being said, shouldn"t his parents also be Divine Demon Beasts?"


"You"re wrong," Phex replied as he shook his head. "Gulan"s Grandmother was not a Divine Demon Beast. Also, Gulan"s parents are common Demon Birds. Obviously, my and Gulan"s grandmother"s child wasn"t a Divine Demon Beast due to her ordinary bloodline. However, as long as there"s a hint of a Divine Demon Beast bloodline inside their blood, their offsprings have a chance of being born as one. Thus, I now have Gulan."


Rean and Kentucky nodded after listening to his explanation. It was a piece of new information that even Elder Reliance didn"t know. At the very least, Elder Reliance had never told them about that. "So that"s how it is. Still, six Divine Demon beasts...it makes sense that the Soul Rulers don"t dare to try and take control over you either."


Phex snorted, saying, "Hmph! If not for the World Swallowing Cedar, they definitely wouldn"t be like that right now."


Rean immediately took that chance to ask, "What will happen now that the Spiritual Energy is back to normal in the world?"


Gulan also nodded, saying, "Yes, grandfather. That"s why I came to see you this time around. For the Spiritual Energy to have returned back to normal, something must have happened to the World Swallowing Cedar! Could it be that it has finally died of old age?"


Phex already expected that question, replying, "You"re forgetting the part where it might also be a trap created by the Soul Rulers. What if we decide to take this chance to appear again, and they play a dangerous card?"


Kentucky shook his head as he soon said, "Who are you two fooling here? We"re demon beasts! I refuse to believe that we would just sit back and do nothing when such a chance has appeared, even if it"s a trap."


Phex was surprised by Kentucky"s words. However, he immediately laughed out loud after that. "Hahaha! Indeed, you know us very well. Alright, all I can tell you right now is that we"re preparing for it. When the time comes, you better be ready."


Phex then turned around and headed in the hut"s direction. "Well, we"re done here. You can ask Gulan anything else about the Demon Beast Alliance. Also, Gulan, make sure to visit me more often."


Gulan nodded as he replied, "Yes, grandfather." Following that, he opened his wings as he looked at Rean and Kentucky, telling them, "Time to leave, let"s go." Gulan immediately took flight after that.


Rean jumped on Kentucky"s back and took flight as well. At the same time, he took out another slave collar from the Dimensional Realm to put on his neck. After all, only Phex and Gulan knew that his pretense as a slave was fake.


Their group flew for over an hour until finally, they returned to the same mountain range from before. Of course, that only made Rean and Kentucky more impressed. One must remember that Phex flew all this distance in just a few seconds while carrying them!


Gulan then pointed in a certain direction as he told them, "Alright, you will find the main city where the Zasfins and Demon Beasts do their trades if you head in that direction. As for me, I"m heading to the Alliance"s territory to exchange these Heaven-level ores for a few cultivation resources."


Rean couldn"t help but ask, "What about the tasks your grandfather told us? Shouldn"t we go with you to take them?"


"There"s no need," Gulan said as he shook his head. "When the time comes, you will receive the order. To be honest, any tasks given by the Demon Beast Alliance will probably be related to the confrontation against the Zasfins, so you best be ready."


Rean and Kentucky nodded as Rean soon responded, "Alright. We"re going ahead, then."


The two sides then exchanged a few more words before they headed in different directions.
