Death... and me

Chapter 2973: The Visitors

Falatis returned to the airship sometime later, calling Klifon and the twins to talk. He seemed in a very good mood, although he didn't say why he was like that. Well, the twins already told Klifon about it anyway. "So, the opening should be happening any moment now. We will be gathering in front of the Sunlight Realm entrance in a few minutes. If you have anything else you have to prepare, do it now."

Klifon shook his head, seeing many experts flying down from the countless airships around. "We were already prepared by the time we left my tower. We can go down now."

"Good!" Falatis nodded. "Let's go join the Parton Sect forces."

Falatis took the front while Klifon and the twins followed right behind. A few other disciples from the same ship also came together.

Although the entrance seemed small from far away, it was anything but up close. It looked like a hole in the Sunlight Energy barrier that extended almost five kilometers. Yet, even these five kilometers seemed small in front of the countless experts in front of it. The Parton Sect's disciples took a spot near the center where the other powers of similar power did. The others who weren't as influent went to the sides.

Rean and Roan quickly recognized a few of the experts from the other powers. Unitten from the Lincae Sect, Amelia and Karev from the Rusbav Royal Family, Diliy of the World Splitting Sect... They and many other leaders gathered there with other experts from outside the country.

Grandel, the Sect Master of the Parton Sect, joined the other leaders of the other organizations at the very front while the rest just watched.

"You guys have no shame. This is our Rusbav Country Realm, and yet you show your faces here," Grandel couldn't help but complain to the experts from outside.

"Hmph!" An old woman called Susana snorted in response. "We are talking about a Werdlem Divine Stone. Let alone Rusbav, I would go to the Demon Beasts' Territory if that meant I could get one." She was the leader of an organization called Huwester Treasures from a faraway country, Zana Huwester. She could be said to be one of the wealthiest experts here, but even she couldn't use her money to buy a Divine Werdlem Stone.

"You people from Rusbav would be no different," Potari Dian, the Head of the Dian Clan from the neighboring country, Turali, joined the conversation. "If the news of a Divine Werdlem Stone appearing in our Turali Country came out, all of you would be knocking on our doors without question."

"Let's not antagonize each other so soon, shall we?" Amelia, the queen of Rusbav, spoke. She then looked at a man a few meters away with a royal countenance. "Long time no see, Tiu. I heard that you got yourself quite a talented descendant you intend to make the new King. Congratulations are in order to your Lales Family."

Tiu couldn't help but smile brightly. His descendant was indeed very promising. "Queen Amelia jests. The boy is still wet behind the ears and has much to learn." Even though he said those words, the pride behind his behavior was obvious. "What about you, friend Hodard? Your organization doesn't care about bloodline, so it is much easier to find a worthy successor to take it over in the future, right?"

Hodard, the president of the Luvel organization, which specialized in Circuitry Formation Treasures. They also were the controlling power of Docaxe Country, similar to a royal family in this regard. "I'm still young, so why should I find a successor. Even if I need to, I will leave this task up to my subordinates. Still, who knows? If I manage to get a Divine Werdlem Stone, then I won't be staying on this planet for long. In that case, I might truly need a successor."

A few eyes narrowed. If there was a Divine Werdlem Stone, it wouldn't be more than one, the Sun Urpin's one. It would be a miracle if more than one could be found inside. First of all, perhaps there wouldn't be a Divine Werdlem Stone at all.

On the side, Diliy of the World Splitting Sect ignored all of that. He just kept his hand on his sword hilt, seeming ready to cut everything in his path if necessary. Yet, someone still came to talk to him. "Diliy, how has your Sword Intent developed so far?"

Diliy glanced at the guy, someone called Kruwan. He was the Sect Master of the Trogran Sect. If the World Splitting Sect was the Sword Sect of Rusbav, then the Trogran Sect held that same position in Yavifis Country. Diliy and Kruwan also had a story together, so it wasn't surprising seeing Kruwan approaching the man.

"That is none of your concern," Diliy spoke with a dark expression. "But I can give you a demonstration of you cross my path later. I don't think you will like it, though."

"Hahaha!" Kruwan laughed in response. "You truly never change, Diliy. Well, I feel even more like crossing your path now. I would like to see how much you managed to understand after the demonstration of Spear Intent of the Divine Realm guy."

"Hmph!" Diliy wasn't an idiot. He recognized Kruwan was no worse than himself when it came to the path of the sword, so Kruwan definitely made improvements in his Sword Intent as well.

Similar conversations from all these Peak Transition Realm experts could be seen in this group. Some had old grudges, others seemed to be on good terms. Nonetheless, one thing was certain. If the Divine Werdlem Stone appeared, they would fight friend and foe to death to acquire it.

*Rumble!*

Suddenly, the region began to tremble again, and the Sunlight Energy at the entrance shifted once more. This time, however, it didn't stop there. It continued to decrease at a slow but steady pace. In a few minute's time, its power would be weak enough for the first experts to enter.
