Chapter 1204: Awaken
It wasn’t like those observers could see Rean and Roan. They simply could feel the emergence of the Star Bodies, which they themselves had. They also used their own methods to break through the barrier that Roan did, but that’s not all. Breaking the barrier was considered the easiest part of acquiring a Star Body. After so long, the top powers of the Realm of Gods had already found their own methods to go through it. Of course, they all keep those methods in secrecy.
The biggest problem in acquiring a Star Body…was that one would need to find the right star! And Roan did exactly that. Well, to be more specific, his own Starlight, which he and all the other living beings are born with, did. But that was also based on pure luck. Roan just so happened to get close enough for his own Starlight to feel the presence of its own compatible star.
As for Rean…well, he might be considered the luckiest person in the universe to be dragged together without lifting a single finger. Maybe those two dwarf stars saw in them what they saw in each other, or something like that? No one knew.
In any case, finding one’s own compatible star in the sea of stars on the other side of the barrier was extremely hard. Only a few people, demon beasts, and spirits had done so. Except for those who died on the way, all of them turned into important figures in the Realm of Gods as a whole. That’s how much a Star Body could guarantee the future of a being.
Unfortunately for them, all they could feel was that two new Star Bodies had appeared. That was the case for every single Star Body in the past countless number of years. It was also good as it would be pretty dangerous if one’s location was found due to that. After all, these Star Body owners might try to get rid of the competition in case they couldn’t get the new owner on their side. Usually, when a Star Body appeared, it was a new cultivator, demon beast, or spirit, so they were all weak at that point.
Well, that didn’t mean they would give up that easily.
“Immediately send the news.”
“Two new Star Bodies have just appeared.”
“I want all the intelligence networks to search for news on this.”
“It’s probably one of the top powers. Tell our spies to gather information.”
“If it’s one of our enemies, make sure you find their identities so that we can kill them.”
Without Rean and Roan knowing, the entire Realm of Gods began to move to try to find them. To be honest, it was quite hilarious that they had the wrong idea. In their heads, they believed only powers equal to them would have cultivators that could acquire Star Bodies. They would never guess two young men in a god-forsaken continent were the ones behind it.
Rean could feel the Starlight in his body, so he asked Roan, “Do I need to do anything else now?”
Roan shook his head in response. “No, don’t do anything with the Starlight just yet. I’ll research this body cultivation technique and see what’s wrong with it.”
“That doesn’t make sense, right?” Rean asked. He heard all the story behind the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique, so he had his ideas. “The problem that Kihin told you about was that the Starlight Energy was the problem with the technique. However, now I’m pretty sure that it’s not the Starlight being the problem. Instead, users are.”
Roan agreed with Rean. “I can get where you’re coming from. You mean that they have a problem with their Starlight because they selected a star that wasn’t supposed to be theirs, correct?”
Rean nodded in agreement. “Yes. I’m not cultivating this Starlight Body Cultivation Technique. However, I can tell that the Starlight I’m getting from my white dwarf has absolutely no harmful effects on me. In fact, the same could also be said for your black dwarf, but that’s most likely because we have our connection. In any case, if a cultivator finds his own star, he won’t suffer whatever the issue Kihin mentioned they would.”
“In any case, don’t cultivate it just yet. Let me learn more about it first. Besides, I want to see just what the methods Kihin talked about to circumvent this problem are,” Roan told him.
Rean nodded without thinking much about it. “Sure, do as you see fit.” Roan was responsible for the training, and Rean wouldn’t intervene unless he had something important to add. “By the way, I’m still in the Cosgles Race’s village. I found something quite interesting here. Once I get back, I’ll talk more about it.”
Roan also nodded in response. “Alright. Let’s go back. You just have to will it, and your mind will return to your body.”
The twins had met in that sea of stars because of their connection. However, now that they were connected to their stars, they wouldn’t be able to do the same thing. Well, they could still have Sister Orb pass over information when they were too far away from each other, so it wasn’t that big of a deal.
When Rean returned to his body, he wasn’t in the field anymore, though. Instead, he was in a bed while Aien seemed to be using his Divine Energy to try and find out what was wrong with him. When he saw that Rean finally opened his eyes again, he felt like a huge burden was taken off his shoulders. “Boy, you gave me a fright out there. You suddenly fell on the ground out of nowhere. It didn’t matter how many times we called you, you didn’t answer at all. Are you okay?”
Rean looked at his body and smiled in response. “I’m fine. I was just rudely invited to a party that I didn’t want to participate in at all.” Rean could see that his spatial rings were all where they had been. He also didn’t have any extra injuries other than the ones caused by the burst of Divine Soul Power leaving his body. The village had the opportune chance to kill him and take all his items, but they rescued his body instead and even tried to heal him. In a place like the Realm of Gods, that was a very heartwarming feeling.
