Death… And Me Chapter 2897: That's How It Is

Chapter 2897: That's How It Is

Having a Peak Divinity Realm Level Soul wasn't just for show. In just three days, the twins managed to learn pretty much the entire new language. It could have been even faster, but they were also focused on other things. For example, they are trying to restart their cultivation, but with no success.

Rean and Roan were sitting by a river near their new home, still looking for a way to make it work. They were now wearing simple leather clothes and seemed to be in perfect health. Nonetheless, they didn't feel the least bit happy.

"Just what is wrong with this s.h.i.t? There is plenty of Spiritual Energy in the environment, but why can't we start the Body Transformation Realm?" Roan couldn't help but complain. They thought that as long as they had enough energy, they could even reach the Divinity Realm extremely fast. They didn't forget their laws, after all. Yet, it simply didn't seem to work.

"Hey, you two." The middle-aged man suddenly called the twins. By now, they knew his name was Clansto, and his wife was called Tiaba.

Rean came up with an excuse that they had gone into some ruins back where they lived before. For some reason, a flash of silver light enveloped the two. The next thing they knew, they were standing naked near the village and didn't know what to do.

Clansto cultivation was very low, but he at least knew it existed. He had heard about magic places that could transport people very long distances in a matter of seconds, although he had never seen one. In any case, from the twins' description, it was obvious they stepped on some of those magic places.

Rean also said that they came from some random settlement and region, which he invented on the spot. The man, naturally, never heard about those places and a.s.sumed the twins were sent truly far away. For now, he allowed them to stay with him and his wife as long as they helped him with his daily work. Neither Rean nor Roan had anything against it.

It came as a surprise for Clansto how fast the twins learned his language. But then again, he didn't know if such things were normal outside his village, so he didn't go much further into the topic. If anything, their intelligence made everything much faster. "I need one of you to help me collect firewood. Who is coming?"

Rean slowly got up. He and Roan decided they would share the works equally since neither side would accept being the other's b.u.t.tler. It was Rean's time to do that now.

Roan glanced at Rean, who understood his meaning and slightly nodded. "I know."

As Rean and Clansto made their way to the usual spot where Clansto gathered firewood, Rean took the chance to ask for the first time. "Senior Clansto, you seem to be so strong. I can't carry anywhere near the amount of logs you do. How do you do that?" The twins had refrained from asking anything about cultivation until now since they didn't know if there were any rules. However, after three fruitless days, they had no choice but to do so.

Clansto didn't seem to mind the question, though. "Hahaha! I'm not strong at all. I just cultivated a little bit. That's all."

"Oh!" Rean nodded. "I heard about cultivation back at home. So cultivation can make you stronger?"

"Of course!" Clansto nodded, speaking happily. "Believe it or not, you should be able to even fly once you grow strong enough. Well, such a thing will be impossible for me in this life, though."

Rean looked at him with expectant eyes. "Senior, can you teach me? How does one cultivate?" "This..." Clansto stopped speaking for a moment, narrowing his eyes.

Rean obviously noticed that and wondered if his fear was correct. 'Could it really be any rules in his village that prevent teaching cultivation?'

"Sorry, Rean," Clansto continued. "To cultivate, you will need a Werdlem Stone to be infused into your body. Otherwise, you can't do anything about it. At the moment, we don't have any left in our village."

Rean was taken aback. The twins heard from Hex that they were in the Werdlem Empire, but the Werdlem Empire was a multi-universe hegemon. A small village like this one probably didn't even know they were part of it. Yet, it seems like they might be wrong. "Werdlem Stone? Infusion?"

Rean pondered a bit about those words. When the twins used their Yin Yang Stellar Body Cultivation, they had to do similar things at each Realm. They always needed some different item to cultivate the next realm. Rean wondered if this Werdlem Stone was something similar. Of course, he didn't tell Clansto about any of it.

Clansto then put the firewood down. "Seems like you came from a place even more isolated than my village. Let me show you." Right after, he took out his upper clothes, revealing his torso. Exactly where one would find one's dantian, there was a clear green stone embedded inside. Of course, Clansto didn't have a Dantian since he was still in the third stage of the Body Transformation Realm.

The weird part was that it didn't seem like it was a foreign object forced into the man's body. Instead, it fused perfectly with the skin around, making it look like the man's body and the green stone had been together from birth.

"See?" Clansto spoke. "This is a Werdlem Stone. It is thanks to this stone that you are able to cultivate.

Even though the man said that it appeared like something completely different in Rean's eyes. 'Impressive. It is making an interaction between the environment's Spiritual Energy and Clansto's body. He is still in the Body Transformation, so he doesn't have a Dantian yet. This Werdlem Empire is something else. They devised some method of impeding anyone without this stone from cultivating.'

Still, a doubt still persisted in Rean's mind. He didn't know much about Werdlem, but he at least heard from Leandro of the Vruve Organization and Soul Gem about how it had suddenly disappeared overnight. Yet, here he is. Can he truly be in this Werdlem Empire?

Rean then mentally shook his head and put those thoughts away. He wouldn't find the answer to such questions in this place. Instead, he looked even more excited at Clans...o...b..fore asking. "Oh! So cool! Can I touch it, senior Clansto?"

"Hahaha!" Clansto laughed. "Sure, go ahead. It doesn't hurt or anything. It truly feels like part of my own body."

Rean's smile brightened, and he finally touched it.

*Pin!*

As soon as he did it, the Control Orb in their Spatial Dimension seemed to come back to life,

albeit just barely.

[Error! Parameters are bound to the stone's host. An unbound stone is necessary.]

Rean faintly smiled. 'So that's how it is...'
