Death… And Me

Kentucky could not help but laugh in response. "Hahaha! It won\'t be long before we also instill fear into others, you\'ll see! Now, with Sally protecting us, let\'s rush to the third level. I want to see that second plane full of Divine Origin Energy."

Rean shook his head, telling Kentucky, "That can wait. We need to find Fallen Light Star Fragments first."

Hurio, obviously, agreed with Rean. "Indeed. In fact, Kentucky doesn\'t even need to head straight to the third level. We\'re in the region between, and it should already be somewhat easier to find Fallen Light Star Fragments."

"Is that so?" Rean\'s eyes lit up after hearing that. "Then, let\'s go back to our searching mode."

Hurio agreed with Rean and immediately jumped down from Kentucky before opening a gap of ten kilometers between them. From there, they began to make their way to the third level at a slightly rushed pace. However, seeing their speed fall drastically, Roan narrowed his eyes before saying, "Hurio, come back. If we keep going like this, we\'ll take at least a month to arrive at the third level."

Hurio narrowed his eyes after hearing that but returned straight away as Roan asked. Rean couldn\'t help but shrug his shoulders after hearing that, though. "However, if I don\'t find enough Fallen Light Star Fragments, I won\'t be able to use the Divine Origin Energy in the second plane to break through anyway." Indeed. Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis\' cultivations were connected to one another. If Rean couldn\'t break through, none of them would. Only Hurio would benefit from it, but Hurio seemed more interested in the Fallen Light Star Fragments as a whole.

In response, Roan told them, "The third level is supposed to be more dangerous but has more Fallen Light Star Fragments in it. However, we have Sally on our side. Let\'s just risk it." Roan then used the twins\' Soul Connection. \'Besides, with Sister Orb here, we aren\'t at any risk of falling into ancient formations either.\'

Rean pondered over it for a bit before agreeing with Roan. He then looked at Hurio and asked, "There should be more Fallen Light Star Fragments in the third level, right?"

Hurio nodded in response. "As far as the records go, that should be the case. However, we would need to be extra careful there. To be honest, I would rather spend our time outside the third level so that we can find Fallen Light Star Fragments here. It\'ll take longer, but it\'s a lot safer. Now that we have Saly to protect us against the Light Element Wave, we don\'t really need to enter that second plane."

Roan shook his head, telling him, "If I could have both the fragments and the Divine Origin Energy, why would I give up? Are you even a cultivator? Stop running away from problems, and let\'s go. Besides, it\'s not like we are that much safer outside either."

Hurio looked at Rean, who nodded at him. Rean knew that Roan was thinking about Calina, so being able to gather the fragments and use the second plane would obviously be better. Rean also wanted to find Qia, so he decided to do as Roan said.

Hurio obviously wouldn\'t stay behind while the twins entered the third level. After all, without Sally, even the outside would be much more dangerous. Not to mention that he wouldn\'t have the twins\' method of avoiding ancient formations, although he didn\'t know how they did that.

Eventually, Kentucky returned to his normal speed. He didn\'t go all out, though, as it would use too much energy. They were making full use of the headstart that Sally provided them. Of course, because of that, it allowed many of the top ten powers to exit the second level with their marks and more or less catch up to the twins\' group.

Two weeks went by, and Rean\'s group finally arrived at the entrance of the third level. However, saying that it was an entrance was wrong. What appeared in front of them was a vast place filled with ruins that seemed to originate from a city in the past. They couldn\'t see the end of the ruins as far as they could see on Kentucky\'s back. Well, Kentucky could only fly twenty meters at most before encountering the pressure restriction, so it wasn\'t like they could see much anyway. After all, the ruins were huge by themselves.

Rean couldn\'t help but comment once they arrived, "Aren\'t these ruins way too big? Even the houses have enormous entrances. It feels like the people... if they were people at all... were at least twice as big than normal humans."

Hurio and Lilia shrugged their shoulders, saying, "Well, Lilia and I aren\'t humans either. Don\'t forget that there are a few humanoid races that are indeed twice as big as humans, or us for that matter. Some are bigger than that, so nothing here is too out of place."

Rean had to admit Hurio and Lilia were right. "True. I guess I\'m just not used to seeing a city made exclusively for large humanoid races. The cities I\'ve visited so far were mixed except for the commercial sector, which had to have big entrances to allocate all races."

Suddenly, Rean and Hurio noticed something and looked in the same direction. Hurio then took out a tablet from his spatial ring, which pointed in the same direction. "Fallen Light Star Fragment!" Without wasting time, Kentucky flew in the direction shown by the tablet and the direction of Rean\'s Light Element detection.

Sure enough, no one cared about Fallen Light Star Fragments. It wasn\'t as if it was hidden or anything like that. In fact, the fragment was being displayed at the top of a rundown ruin that looked like a store.. It was more like a decorative item than anything else.
