Death... and me



After leaving the city, Kentucky came out of the Dimensional Realm so Rean could jump on his back. Right after, he took flight and disappeared in Region 12111's direction. Naturally, Rean covered him with his Light and Divine Sense Bending skill so that no one could notice them flying.

Time passed in a flash while Kentucky continued to fly nonstop. Soon, three months went by. Kentucky was now getting close to Region 12108, the last region before arriving at Region 12111. At the moment, he was flying above an Angel Beasts Territory, using his Divine Sense to check the Beasts below. "It is kind of unfair, don't you think? Literally, all races here in Heavens have wings. What are birds there for, then?"

Rean didn't mind Kentucky using his Divine Sense since he was using his Divine Sense Bending to prevent being found. "Hehe! They do have wings, indeed. However, if you look closely, you will see that those wings can't be used to fly. The Angel Beasts that aren't bird types only get to fly when they reach the necessary cultivation level. Until that point, their wings are kind of just for show. Well... not just for show since Angel Races use their wings to increase their overall abilities. But that doesn't allow them to fly without the prerequisites."

Kentucky then pointed at a White and Brown Lizard in the distance. "So what? Look at that guy! He was supposed to be just a Lizard with some meager strength. But look at the wings on his back! It makes him look so cool. They all look a lot better because of their natural Angel Wings. That's not fair at all with the birds and other Demon Beasts from the other Realms."

Rean shrugged his shoulder. "Then what do you want to do? Go down and rip off the wings of every single Angel Beast we see from now on? We will take tens of thousands of years just to clear this single territory."

"I'm not that evil," Kentucky immediately refused the idea.

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed at Kentucky's helplessness. "Look on the positive side. You think they all look cooler because of their wings. However, here in Heavens, Wings are just seen as another member of one's body. For everyone else, seeing the Wings makes absolutely no difference. It only makes a difference for us because we aren't used to them." Rean also added, "Besides, perhaps due to how common wings are, the Angel Races here might think that we are the cool and different ones."

Kentucky sighed and nodded. "Fine... I'll try to see it like that." Looking at the Angel beasts below, Kentucky remembered something. "Oh, right! We have an entire planet as a Dimensional Realm now. Celis is working on growing all the plants, increasing the size of the forests day by day. Do you think we should also acquire a few Angel Beasts?"

Rean was taken aback. "This..." Right after, he asked Roan, Celis, Luan, and Sister Orb inside the Dimensional Realm. 'What do you guys think? Should we get more Beasts? In this case, Angel Beasts for our Dimensional Realm?'

Celis immediately refused. 'I think it is a terrible idea.'

Roan and the others looked at him. 'Why?'

'Because Angel Beasts need Heavenly Energy to cultivate. At the moment, they would have Heavenly Energy since the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm is absorbing it from the outside. However, once we leave for the Realm of Gods, they would get stuck in their cultivation. Eventually, they would all die to the Demon Beasts we already have here,' Celis explained.

Rean couldn't help but ask back. 'What about the Demon Beasts we have inside? Are they being negatively affected by the Devilish Energy of the Underworld or the Heavenly Energy of the Heavens?'

Sister Orb was the one to answer it. [Don't worry. I knew that those two energies weren't the same, so I isolated the Demon Beasts away from them. It's just that they also have no Divine Energy to cultivate other than a converted Divine Energy that Celis releases with his roots around the planet. Of course, this little amount Celis makes available for them isn't anywhere near what they can get when we are in the Realm of Gods.]

Rean was quite shocked to hear that. 'Wait! Did you say that Celis is giving some of his most beloved Divine Energy to other Demon Beasts instead of using it for cultivation? Hey, are you really Celis? Are you sure you weren't replaced by an impostor?'

Even Roan was forced to nod this time. He didn't expect Celis to waste any energy at all, let alone the others. They all looked at Celis as if they were seeing a ghost.

'H-Hmph!' Celis felt someone embarrassed. 'What? If the Demon Beasts don't get Divine Energy, they will also be negatively affected with time. I'm not so heartless that I will let them run completely dry. Besides, it is only a temporary measure until we get back to the Realm of Gods.'

Rean smiled but didn't insist on that topic. 'Still, this is kinda sad, don't you think? We went to the Underworld and now we are in Heavens. To think we could not bring any Angel or Devil Beasts to increase our fauna feels like a waste.'

Luan shook his head. 'To get what Uncle Rean wants, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm would need to be able to generate all three types of energy at the same time. That's just not realistic.'

Sister Orb wasn't so sure, though. [Do you really think so?]

Sure enough, she caught their attention. 'What do you mean?'

[Did you forget what Heavenly Energy, Divine Energy, and Devilish Energy are?] She answered with a question.

Roan understood where she was coming from. 'All three of them. In fact, all energies in the universe are just variants of Divine Origin Energy. But so what? It's not like we have a source of Divine Origin Energy to start with.'

[Yes, we don't. However, if we can go reach the Chaos Origin Source, I'm pretty sure this problem can be solved,] Sister Orb explained.

Roan just shook his head. 'Just how long do you think it will take to get there? We are nowhere near the necessary cultivation level to leave the three higher realms with our own strength. However... this might be a good idea to consider in the future.'
