Death... and me

Chapter 2852: Theorizing

"Sigh..." Himmel felt disheartened. "Then the big question here is how we, Semi-Celestials, could call over those Purple Clouds."

"Let's not rush into this," Gragatou's voice was laced with deep-seated doubts. "For now, it's all just a theory. They 'BELIEVE' they need to merge the Celestial Laws they've absorbed with their normal sublaws. It's not as if they've already accomplished it and gained a true

understanding of their own Celestial Laws. And let's not even broach the subject of entering the Celestial Realm."

The other Semi-Celestials nodded, including the ones from the Vruve Organization. Everything was still too far-fetched. Besides, who said the twins were telling the truth? As far as they know, the twins' group might be concealing what they truly know.

"Alright, but what if they are right?" Himmel insisted. "What if the cloud and the Celestial Laws they brought are necessary?"

"This..." Gragatou went silent. It wasn't like he didn't think about that either.

Rean sighed. "We are asking ourselves how to bring the clouds. But perhaps the real question is why it came for us, don't you think?"

Indeed. Why were they targeted by the Tribulation? "Do you have any idea?"

Rean and the others shook their heads in response. "None. The only thing we can think about is that it is related to the breakthrough into the Divinity Realm. Fro some reason, our breakthrough called over the Tribulation from outside. That is the most confusing part."

"To understand better, we would need to know more about your cultivation techniques," Black Locust suddenly commented.

However, everyone's expressions changed after hearing that. After all, such topics are secrets that no one would reveal. The twins' group was even more so since everyone there knew how much stronger than other experts at the same level they were. Sure they had some big secrets.

"Are you asking me to speak about my techniques?" Kafan asked Black Locust. They all also know Roan was his disciple, so it was expected that everything Roan knew was given to him by Kafan.

However, that theory was immediately taken down by Rean's next words. "It can't be. The reason is simple: Celis and Kentucky are a Demon Plant and a Demon Bird. They don't use cultivation techniques. They are completely different from Roan and me. How could cultivation techniques be the reason if they don't use any?"

Black Locust had to admit Rean was right on that point. Of course, he didn't know the twins were connected to Celis and Kentucky through the system. In Rean's eyes, that was probably one of the reasons. Or, to be more specific, the system was the main reason, Rean believed. "It's talent!"

Suddenly, another Spatial Gate appeared, and Soul Gem came from inside. After the Semi- Celestials left for so long, he couldn't help but come to the underworld to take a look at what was happening. Fortunately, Kafan was convening everything to him thorugh the communication system, so he was aware of the events up to this point.

"Soul Gem?" Everyone looked at him.

Soul Gem floated in the middle of the Semi-Celestials. "If cultivation techniques are not the reason, the only thing I can think about is their talents. They far surpass anyone at the same cultivation level. Kafan and Leandro both said that the Tribulation is some kind of trial; Leandro even added it was a trial to see if they were worthy of receiving the Celestial Laws."

Soul Gem continued. "If you think about it, it makes sense. The Celestial Laws only found them worth the trial, no one else."

"Wait," Kilindou didn't take it. "I agree, they are extremely talented. However, it is not like no one with such ridiculous talent had never appeared before, right? I, too, was pretty much unmatched during my time. I believe it isn't much different from the other Semi-Celestials here."

The other Semi-Celestials were about to agree. However...

"Ha!" Kafan snorted. "No one here can compare to my disciple. I definitely can't. Roan is definitely much stronger than I was in the same cultivation level."

Rean bitterly smiled. 'Why is he saying that? He is pretty much making us an even bigger target.'

Roan shook his head. 'It doesn't matter. After we absorbed the Celestial Laws, we already became the biggest targets in this Universe. It does not matter if he adds something extra.'

'Well... that's true.' Rean agreed and sighed.

Kilindou wanted to retort, but Black Locust stopped him. "Calm down. I don't think Kafan is saying that to provoke you. He is most likely correct."

"That's surprising to hear from a Devil," Sophia commented with a tinge of sarcasm. Still, Black Locust didn't take the bait. "I think we should end this conversation here. The point is, none of us know how to call forth the Tribulation. First of all, will these four still be alive a few years from now? Garisan will attack us again soon, so we might all die in the end. There isn't enough time to wait for their cultivations to reach the Peak Stage of the Divinity Realm. If we survive it, then we can think about it again."

Sansara narrowed his eyes. "Shouldn't we insist a little more? If we can manage to summon this Tribulation, wouldn't we perhaps have a shot to enter the Celestial Realm? If that happens, we will have a much better chance to defend our Universe."

"And how do you propose we do that?" Black Locust didn't seem interested. "Are you perhaps willing to destroy your cultivation and start from zero to see if you can summon the

Tribulation?"

"I..." Sansara didn't even need to answer. Everyone knew he definitely wouldn't destroy his cultivation. None of the Semi-Celestials would.

Leandro took the chance to speak. "We only came here because we thought the Universe was under attack again. Since we can't reach an answer, my Vruve Organization will take its leave. Goodbye." He wanted to return and report to Tuana. Perhaps she knew something else since she is a direct descendant of Turmaloid.

The Vruves all left, leaving only the experts of the three Higher Realms there.

Finally, Dalquiel asked another question everyone was interested in. "So... what do we do with these guys?"
