Death... and me

Chapter 1730 I Have An Idea

‘The only thing that bothers me is that I can’t transfer what I learned here to my real self. It’s quite a shame,’ Ume lamented.

Kentucky then remembered why he decided to stay. “Oh, right! We’re planning to go to the center of the Realm of Gods in the future. Tell us more about the place. Where we can go to cultivate? Where are the demon beast territories, and which ones are they? Who I should be careful around in order to not be found?”

‘Unfortunately, I can’t tell you anything like that,’ Ume answered.

“What?!” Kentucky was taken aback by that. “You better not come with that annoying excuse about disturbing my training or any bullshit like that. For these things, one Roan is enough.”

‘That’s not it,’ Ume’s feather shook from side to side as he clarified, ‘It’s just that I don’t have any of this information.’

“Oh, come on!” Kentucky didn’t believe that. “It doesn’t matter what happened in the past. I refuse to believe that everything has changed so much that you can’t tell me anything anymore.”

‘Wait, what? No, that’s not what I meant!’ Ume quickly fixed the misunderstanding.

“Then, what’s stopping you from telling me?” Naturally, Kentucky still wanted a reason.

Ume then explained his problem, telling him, ‘All my real self left behind was a piece of my sentience. The information you’re requesting from me is not contained in this feather. Simply put, the real Ume hasn’t left any memory relevant to the questions you just asked.’

Kentucky didn’t like that. “Why would he do such an idiotic thing? He could have left a lot more for me to learn, no?”

Ume’s feather shook again. ‘The problem is the length of time this piece of sentience has. The less amount of information I have, the longer I will last. If the real Ume left all his memories in this piece of sentience, I wouldn’t last a single day, let alone two to three years.’

“This…” Kentucky was obviously sad to hear that. “I guess there’s no helping it then.”

‘Sorry, leaving the information about what happened to you and the seal breaking was more important. My real self didn’t want to risk letting this opportunity pass up, even if the chances of it happening were low. Fortunately, you ended up coming to this side of the Realm of Gods.’ Ume apologized.

“It’s fine. I’m already happy enough that I happened to hear the whole story. I wanted to learn more about the rest, but since there’s no memory of it, then so be it.” In the end, Kentucky could only accept that.

Ume then added, ‘However, I did leave a few more things to teach you while you’re here.’

“Oh! What is it?” Kentucky interest was picked.

‘Minokawa skills,’ Ume answered. ‘I left behind three of them that are passed from Minokawa to Minokawa. Not only that, but these ones are also quite at a high level. Hehe! With this small set, you’ll be one stage stronger compared to other demon beasts at the same level in the center of the Realm of Gods.’

“So you did have something else!” Kentucky was delighted to hear that. Didn’t that mean they would become stronger than Rean or Roan when they fought alone? Perhaps the time when he could beat Roan in a one vs. one fight would finally come! “Hehe… Hahahaha! Great! I’ll make sure to learn them well.”

However, Kentucky noticed a problem. “Wait, won’t you have disappeared by the time I’m finally able to fight?”

‘All I said is that you won’t be able to use even a tenth of your strength during the breaking of the seal. That doesn’t mean you can’t do anything. Let’s wait a year first so that your body gets more used to the lifting of the seal. Once the time comes, you should be able to try the skills out even if you’re in a weakened state. Don’t worry. I’ll be with you to control my blood so that it won’t affect you too much.’

Kentucky nodded after hearing that. “So, which ones are they?”

As mentioned before, Rean gave Kentucky five years to go to Astonkay Country and then come back. Otherwise, he would go there to check what was happening. Unfortunately, Kentucky’s travel to Astonkay took one year and a half alone. Not to mention that the seal breaking of his bloodline would take another six.

Because of that, it had now been three years and a half since Kentucky started to free up a small part of his Regal Minokawa bloodline power. He still had another year and a half to go.

The problem was that Rean was still waiting in the Jhiod Sect, and Kentucky hadn’t appeared in the end. “It seems like I’ll need to pay a visit to Astonkay Country…” Rean thought.

Roan glanced at Rean and said, “Our connection with Kentucky is still strong, which means he’s fine. There’s no need to go after him just yet.”

Rean shook his head, though. “I’m also bored of staying here for so long. In the end, Libraia and two more people were able to awaken their weapon intents. We have been watched by tens of people of the Yume Clan during these past five years, but the rest don’t seem to be anywhere near comprehending their intents.”

Roan glanced at Rean, telling him, “This isn’t a very good idea. Don’t forget that the news about our weapon intents has finally been found out by the other factions of the Jhiod Sect. No one will touch us while we’re in the Yume Clan. However, the story won’t be the same if you leave. Not to mention I don’t think Philip will risk letting you go before the Jamai Sect Selection.”

Rean narrowed his eyes in response. “That’s true… could it be that we can only wait in the end?”

Celis was also there, and he was obviously annoyed that Kentucky hasn’t come back yet. “In that case, I have an idea.”
