Chapter 978 - All Ears
After asking Rean and Roan, Cynthia returned to Kayla to tell the news, which obviously made Kayla ecstatic. Wuxan and Jusis were naturally ecstatic as well. "Great! We might really have a shot at the low-level veins with those two."
Cynthia nodded before mentioning, "However, I agreed that if they got one of the veins, we would pay three hundred Divine Stones."
Kayla, Wuxan, and Jusis felt a slight twinge in their hearts when they heard that number. However, they also understood the requirements. "Fine! If they really get one of those veins, then three hundred Divine Stones is a very low price to pay."
Rean and Roan, obviously, discussed the assembly through their Soul Connection after Cynthia left. 'Roan, what do you think about it? Should we go all out?'
Roan pondered over it for a bit before nodding. 'Yes. You heard what they said before, right? Our cultivation and age only put us between the above-average geniuses.. With that being said, it wouldn't make any difference if we show a little bit more than what they expected.'
Sister Orb couldn't help but ask after hearing that, [However, why did they say you're in your late thirties? The two of you are already 48 years old.] Sure enough, Rean and Roan spent a lot more time than just thirty years after they reincarnated.
Rean was the one to explain that to Sister Orb, though. 'Sister Orb, you are still using the counting method from Sunkan Planet. I asked about it during our travel in the caravan. From the looks of it, one year here is larger than our Sunkan Planet's year. I calculated the right amount, and it seems like Roan and I are 37 years old in this place.'
[I see...then again, the year in Sunkan Planet is also bigger than the year on Earth, so I guess that makes sense.]
Rean couldn't help but laugh in response. 'Hahaha! If we were still on Earth, Roan and I would be two old men at fifty-something years old. Of course, cultivation increases our lifespan, so we would still look very young despite our age.'
Roan also added, 'That also means we have to calculate the right amount of lifespan we gain with each cultivation realm. For example, a Saint Realm's lifespan in Sunkan was somewhat around 1600 years. Here in the Realm of Gods, it would translate into 1232 years instead. Simply put, it's around 77% of the values from Sunkan Planet.'
Rean nodded as he said, 'Indeed. Soul Transformation Realm cultivators had something close to 1000 years there, which means we have around 770 years of lifespan. Well, we have more than enough time to cultivate anyway. That doesn't change our view of the Sect Master and the elders that much either.'
'Anyways,' Roan continued. 'We can expect a lot of Soul Transformation Realms in this assembly. The only doubt is whether our advantage in absolute strength stays the same.'
[It shouldn't have changed much. Although you can store a lot less Divine Energy than Spiritual Energy, it doesn't change the fact that your dantians can hold around three times more than others. The only difference here is whether the fusion of Divine Energy and Soul Power is as strong as the fusion with Spiritual Energy. Of course, even if there is a difference, it wouldn't be anything big.]
'By the way.' Rean called their attention as he asked, 'Are we going for our Elements Exchange, or will we fight with our own strength?'
Roan pondered over it for a bit before saying, 'Let's start fighting with our own strength first. If you see that you can't deal with an opponent with just that, then use the Elements Exchange.'
Rean nodded, saying, 'Alright. That'll probably happen anyway, as I believe we will definitely find some Saint Realm experts below the age of fifty. In the end, this eleven-year discrepancy is a disadvantage for us.'
'Stop complaining,' Roan could not help but say. 'We can already jump an entire cultivation realm in strength when we go all out, let alone when we exchange elements. If nothing changes, we won't be at much of a disadvantage. That's a good opportunity if anything.'
Rean shrugged his shoulders when he remembered something. 'Oh, right. Send your White Star to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. I'll take it out here in the Blacksmith Hall. I'm learning about the forging methods of the sect so I can modify them.'
Roan nodded as his White Star disappeared from his spatial ring and entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. However, Rean didn't take it out straight away. First, he would use some of his Heaven-level materials to try things out. After all, Divine Energy was new for Rean. 'I'll be done with it before the assembly starts in two weeks.'
Roan didn't mind. 'As long as it's back in time, that's fine.' He then returned to reading the alchemy books. He was able to see many different requirements, herbs, and things like that in there.
However, Sister Orb couldn't help but ask, [When are you going to use your Destiny Points? You got 30000 points from reactivating the World Beast Formation. Also, you got another 11326 from the Destiny Changes caused by the Communication System and other things. Considering you have 4402 points remaining since your last purchase, you now have a grand total of 45728 Destiny Points ready for use.]
Those words made Rean consider buying something for a bit. 'Sister Orb, you said before that if we're too far away, the system won't count the changes in destiny that happened because of us. Obviously, we won't get any more Destiny Points from the Zasfin Planet. The system simply couldn't detect something that far.' Rean then asked his real question. 'Does it apply for the Realm of Gods as well?'
Roan had to admit he was curious about that as well. 'Indeed. The Realm of Gods is a single piece of land, right? Perhaps that restriction doesn't apply here?'
[Sorry to disappoint you two, but distance is still distance. However, thanks to the Realm of Gods' shape, I can at least tell you how far the system can detect Destiny Changes caused by you two.]
Naturally, Rean and Roan were all ears.
