Death... and me

Mou Traste was a cultivator at the Late Stage of the Void Tempering Realm. As for Regil and Druvan, they were at the Initial and the Middle Stage of the Void Tempering Realm, respectively. Of course, one shouldn't think of it as too small. One must remember that to go from the Transition Realm to Void Tempering Realm, one would need Divine Origin Energy.

The problem was that only Rank Seven Divine Stones and above had Divine Origin Energy in them, except for some very specific locations in the Realm of Gods. With that being said, the cultivators had to get Divine Origin Energy through some other method. As for what method that was, it wasn't that hard. One only had to convert Divine Energy into Divine Origin Energy.

However, although it wasn't a hard process, using this method was anything but fast. Back in Huring or Lanqueas Continent, one had to use ten days' worth of Divine Energy cultivation to convert the necessary amount for one hour of Divine Origin Energy cultivation. Then again, that wasn't so bad as Huring and Lanqueas had around five times more Divine Energy in the environment.

Treavin, on the other hand, lacked that same Divine Energy concentration to make things as fast. With that said, once someone reached the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm, they pretty much got stuck. Few could really surpass the Transition Realm and enter the Void Tempering Realm. As for those who did, they would see themselves progress slowly for a very long time.

That's why Mou, Druvan, and Regil's cultivation couldn't be underestimated. Just the fact that they reached this level showed how much persistence they had compared to others. Of course, things were still several times better for them. After all, even though Treavin Continent had less Divine Energy, a clan as big as Traste still got their hands on a lot of Divine Stones. It's just that most of them were Rank One, with very few being allowed to even touch Rank Two ones.

The only problem for them was that the message took several days to arrive at the Traste Clan. Then again, that's to be expected. Expensive, very long-distance Thoughts Transmission Talismans weren't things one would get their hands on easily. And it was no different for the Traste Clan. They might be one of the big powers of the Vankotis Region, but this was just one region among the hundreds of different ones in Treavin Continent. Only people like the clan leader and Mou Traste would have them in their hands. Someone like Zostemou didn't have the right to keep them.

In any case, when the message arrived at the Traste Clan, it was also the time Rean and Roan had decided they had enough rest. Other than those two days they intervened in the matters of Dry Sky City, the rest of the days, they really didn't touch on anything cultivation-related at all. The only exception was Celis, who continued to cultivate nonstop in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Then again, Celis himself didn't want to stop, so the twins didn't say anything.

[Rean, Roan. Before you go fetch everyone, how about you buy something in the Soul Gem System? Don't forget that your actions in Lanqueas Continent changed the destiny of a lot of people. Just the fact that immortal-level cultivation techniques were given to those disciples was enough to make your Destiny Points greatly soar.]

Rean and Roan obviously were happy to hear that. 'Oh?! Then how many Destiny Points do we have right now? I remember we were left with 24945 last time we bought something.'

[That's correct. Anyway, after accumulating points for a long time, you two got another 32412 points. You told me to remind you when you got another 50000 points, remember? Well, there you go. You have 57357 Destiny Points at the moment.]

'That little?' Roan was surprised to hear that. 'I thought we would have over 100000 right now exactly because of the immortal cultivation techniques that leaked out.'

Rean shook his head, though. 'I understand why we didn't get more. Did you forget? The Soul Gem System can only calculate changes in destiny up to a certain distance. We even have one skill to upgrade in the rewards system that will increase that same distance.'

Rean was right. The Reward System had Destiny Perception Range Upgrade Level 1, which cost 50000 Destiny Points. At the moment, that perception range was at level zero. That gave the twins a total of 500000 kilometers for the system to detect changes in destiny.

'After those cultivators got the immortal cultivation techniques and left through the portal, they were teleported randomly throughout Lanqueas Continent. That far surpassed the 500000-kilometer range of perception that the system has at the moment.'

Roan had to admit Rean was right. 'So that's why...'

[Well, Rean said everything. Anyways, you did get quite a bit there. Aren't you going to use it?]

The twins didn't need to hear it twice before they entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Soon after, they sent their Divine Soul Power and Divine Sense into the Soul Gem Orb before accessing the Reward List. Usually, the twins only saw the skills available for buying. This time, however, the twins opted to see the entire list, including all the skills they had acquired so far.

Rean and Roan nodded once they looked at all of their bought upgrades, satisfied. They had really come a long way. Still, they already knew what they would buy even before opening the list. Back then, the twins wanted to buy the Destiny Perception Range. But because the Yin and Yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique appeared, they delayed their plans. This time though, that won't happen.
