Death... and me

Chapter 4293: Godly Sense

Roan wasn’t wrong. In just a little over two hours, he arrived at the area where the nest of the Carcatira Alligators could be found. Just like Wurshan mentioned, those Alligators only came here to lay their eggs, so Roan couldn’t find many of them. The ones he found were all females, too.

Considering how sparse they were, Roan had no issues avoiding them as he investigated the place. Of course, it wasn’t like this was the only area where they laid their eggs. There are other similar places too. It’s just that this was the only area near the hunting ground that the guild mission set for his group.

Roan had a thought that the Godly Beast Alligators would be here for some reason. Yet, even after moving everywhere for around an hour, the only Carcatira Alligators he found were the few females he had seen so far. ’Maybe I was wrong...’

Roan looked at the time and knew that there wouldn’t be much he could do if he stayed any longer. So, he turned around and prepared to leave. But then, Sister Orb contacted him.

[Roan, I have an idea. Can you give it a try?]

’I’m listening,’ Roan answered.

[Our cultivation technique can produce Godly Energy. That’s because we can absorb Godly Pressure to use in the mix. You already showed you can release your own Godly Pressure by running the cultivation technique in reverse. If that’s the case... can’t you use the technique with your Celestial Sense?]

Roan narrowed his eyes. ’But I can’t use Celestial Sense yet. I need to drive my energy outside my body for it to work, and that can’t be done in the Anchor God Realm.’

[You’re right about it if you use the normal method. However, I’m talking about the Godly Pressure. Try to drive your Celestial Sense through your Godly Pressure.]

Roan finally understood what Sister Orb wanted. Since he can release Godly Pressure, she wanted him to use the Godly Pressure as the channel to drive his Celestial Sense out of his body. ’Simply put, I will create the Celestial Sense in my soul like we always do. I just need to use the Godly Pressure as an exit.’

[Exactly,] Sister Orb confirmed.

Roan thought about it for an instant, then followed the plan. Creating Celestial Sense wasn’t hard. It was the same principle as the Spiritual and Divine Senses. It’s just that it used Celestial Energy instead.

However, Roan soon noticed that he couldn’t create Celestial Sense, not even in his body. Not that he was being blocked, but because the Celestial Energy in his body simply couldn’t be used in any way, shape, or form. Well, except for using it with Godly Pressure to create Godly Energy.

[There is no helping it. Change the Celestial Energy for Godly Energy and try it again.]

’Godly Sense?’ Roan asked. ’Is there such a thing? Everyone, even the Law Gods of Besgol, seems to use Celestial Sense instead.’

But then, Roan got curious. ’Now that I think about it, why don’t the cultivators use Godly Energy with their senses?’

[Probably expenditure,] Sister Orb said. [They grew used to saving as much Godly Energy as possible. Using senses with Godly Energy when you can only obtain it from Godly Creatures’ Crystals definitely feels wasteful. However, I believe the main reason is that there is probably no meaningful difference between Celestial Energy Sense and Godly Energy Sense.]

Roan had to admit Sister Orb’s words made sense. ’Maybe you’re right.’

And so, Roan attempted to create a sense based on Godly Energy instead of Celestial Energy. Turns out it was easier said than done. It put quite a heavy burden on the soul, especially since senses also depended on the user’s Soul Power. Roan was quite surprised to see that his Anchor God Level soul could just barely hold it.

Let’s not forget that Soul Power can’t be created from nothing. In Roan’s case, he also had to use Godly Energy for that. Roan continued to work on it for the next thirty or so minutes. Finally, he managed to put everything together, and the Godly Sense was created inside his body.

Of course, it could not come out since he was an Anchor God, so he redirected it outside with the help of the Godly Pressure he had stored in his body.

*VuoM!*

Immediately, his sense spread to all sides. Roan could clearly see every single leaf and grain of sand. Roan was quite surprised by the details. Divine Sense could see everything already, but Godly Sense surpassed even that. It was like looking into their very foundation.

However, Roan also noticed something else. ’Our Echo...’

[Yes,] Sister Orb noticed the same thing. [It is mixed with your sense. That’s likely why you can see everything in such detail, while others think it is not worth using Godly Energy for it. See! I was right to try it out. What would others think if they knew you could use Godly Sense as an Anchor God? Hahaha]

’This thing sure uses a huge amount of Godly Energy, though...’ Roan could tell that he wouldn’t be able to sustain the Godly Sense for more than ten seconds before his entire Godly Energy reserves were gone. ’No doubt it is because our echo is mixed with it,’ and he quickly concluded.

Suddenly...

*Pin!*

[Godly Sense is highly energy expensive. At the same time, it is as important as one’s sight.]

[New Quest Available: Extract the Three-Eyed Raven’s third eye.]

[Reward: Godly Sense energy consumption reduced by 50%.]

[Reward two: 20 Orb Points.]

[Reward Three: New skill available for the Orb System.]

Not only Roan, but the entire twins’ group heard that new quest.

’Hey, what is happening there?’ Rean quickly contacted them.

’Three-Eyed Raven? What’s that?’ Kentucky also asked.

’Whatever you are doing, we should complete it. 50% consumption reduction is worth almost anything,’ and Celis added his piece.

Roan immediately canceled his Godly Sense and, using their connection, told them what happened.

It goes without saying that Rean and the others were quite impressed.

However, before they could say anything, Roan looked in a certain direction. "So that’s where you all are..."
