Death… And Me Novel Chapter 1196 - Very Likely

Chapter 1196: Very Likely

[Hard to say.] Sister Orb replied. [It might break out of its shell in the very next second, or it might happen one hundred years later. Who knows? It’s not sothing we should care about unless it happens when we’re just beside it.]

Rean nodded. ‘Nevertheless, it’s too dangerous. I will have to tell Aien to move his village sowhere else. Otherwise, they will be the beast’s first al as soon as it escapes.’

Aien noticed that Rean went silent for a mont and couldn’t help but ask, “Is sothing wrong? Is this crystal’s energy not enough?”

Rean looked at Aien and sighed after hearing his question. However, just as he was about to tell Aien to move his village away, Sister Orb added another thing. [You don’t need to have them move. Did you forget what this Flash Beast is after?]

Rean felt like he was an idiot. Obviously, he understood what Sister Orb ant. Nonetheless, he decided to explain to Aien what this crystal was. “This is called a Convergence Crystal. Inside of it, there’s a creature called a Flash Beast…” Rean then took his ti to explain everything.

Aien felt terrified when he heard the whole story. He wasn’t well aware of what it ant for the Sacred Land to not be able to deal with it since he didn’t know how strong the Sacred Land was. However, he was absolutely sure that his village people couldn’t contend against it when the strongest power of their continent couldn’t do anything either. “Let’s leave! I will prepare our village to move out straight away!”

Aelua couldn’t help but ask, “But elder, we need a high concentration of Earth Elent to survive. Where will we find it?”

“Doesn’t matter,” Aien replied. “If this thing cos out, we will die even faster than if we try to find a new place.”

Rean patted Aien’s shoulder to calm him down, telling him, “Don’t worry, don’t worry. If there’s a safe place in this Realm of Gods, that would be your village.”

Aien and Aelua were surprised to hear that. “How co?”

“Did you forget what I said?” Rean told them with a smile. “This Flash Beast will always look for the place with the highest concentration of Divine Energy. To be honest, I think the reason why this entire area has so little Divine Energy is because of this thing here. As soon as it cos out, it won’t even notice the existence of your village. The cultivators there are just too few and weak. Even if your town gets ten tis stronger and the cultivators reach the Transition Realm, the Flash Beast would still completely ignore your existence. You have no need to move out.”

“I-Is that so? Are you certain?” Aien still found it quite risky.

Rean nodded, reassuring him. “I’m certain. Besides, this thing is perfect for the formation.”

Aien couldn’t help but let out cold sweat as he asked, “Is it okay to touch it?”

“Of course not! Hahaha!” Rean laughed as he replied. “I won’t try to rob the crystal’s energy. Instead, I will use the energy that it’s naturally emanating to power up the Triple Layer Formation. For the crystal and the Flash Beast inside, it’ll be as if nothing had changed at all. We don’t know when the beast will co out either, so you might be in for centuries of free energy. You really shouldn’t move away from this place.”

Aien didn’t know whether to be sad or happy from his words. “Fine…if you’re telling us it’s safe, then it should be.” Aien knew that Rean needed their Earth’s Remnants, so he wouldn’t tell them to stay there if there really was a risk of death.

Aelua, however, couldn’t help but ask sothing else. “That’s good and all. However…was this cave supposed to be like this? Do all Convergence Crystals create a perfect square-shaped chamber around themselves?”

That was the issue, right? It didn’t matter how Rean, Aien, Sister Orb, and Aelua looked at it. This place was definitely built by soone or sothing. There’s no way it took this form on its own. That also ant soone knew of the crystal’s existence.

“Now that you ntion that…” Rean added, “Looking at the state of the walls and the ground, I can guarantee that not a single living soul has appeared here for a very, very long ti.”

It was then that Rean had an idea, so he asked Sister Orb. ‘Sister Orb, while this thing isn’t out, would it be possible to teleport it away? That would be a very useful way to get rid of the problem.’

[Hmm…it’s definitely possible. However, you would need so ridiculously powerful teleport formation. Especially since it has to be sent past the continental barriers. I don’t think the Sacred Land of this continent has any Formation Master capable of doing such a thing.]

Rean shook his head, clarifying himself, ‘I’m not talking about us teleporting it away, but that it was teleported here.’

[That’s…very likely.] Rean’s words reminded Sister Orb of the entrance to this chamber. It was a rectangular-shaped gate, but it was incomplete and missing a part of it. If a teleport formation was used, it would make sense that only part of the gate ca together as the teleport formation was built with the Convergence Crystal in mind only. The rest of the things simply didn’t matter as long as one could send the crystal away.

Rean nodded in agreent. ‘Then this place isn’t really where the elental convergence is happening. It’s sowhere else. Sister Orb, since the convergence isn’t here, will this Flash Beast ever be born? After all, it lost its source of power, right?’

[On the contrary, my dear Watson. Without its source of elental convergence, this Flash Beast will likely pop up a lot sooner. After all, it will feel hungry far earlier. Well, it doesn’t change the fact that it might be now or in the next who knows how many years.]

Rean sighed in relief after hearing that, as it would probably take a long ti. Since the ti it would take for the beast to hatch was so big, it gave them plenty of ti.
