Death… And Me

-58 Times Acceleration- Rank Two Divine Stones

Finally, Rean turned on the Circuitry Formation, which made the entire Dimensional Realm glow with golden light for a moment. Time accelerated 58 times as the sound of Divine Stones breaking apart could be heard. Just like before, one Divine Stone turned to dust every ten or so seconds.

"Seems like that as long as we use the highest acceleration available, the Divine Stones will be consumed by one every ten seconds," Rean considered.

Roan nodded. "Just take them out and try the Rank Three Divine Stones. However, don\'t use the higher time available. Instead, select the middle option. If it allows 50 times, choose 25, and so on."

Rean understood where Roan was coming from. "You want to check if we can save Divine Stones while still keeping a good enough acceleration."

"Correct," Roan confirmed.

Rean quickly turned off the circuitry formation and replaced the Rank Two Divine Stones with Rank Three ones. This time, the screen gave the option to select up to 134 times the speed. Sure, it does look like a lot of acceleration. However, one must remember that full speed will consume one Divine Stone every ten seconds. It won\'t be of any use to accelerate 134 times if they can\'t keep it up for more than a few days.

  Nonetheless, Rean only selected the half-point, 67 times. 

The twins waited for a while until, three minutes and a half later, the first Rank Three Divine Stone broke. "67 times the speed and one Rank Three Divine Stone every one and a half minutes..."

Roan pondered a bit. "How many Rank Three Divine Stones do we have?"

Sister Orb was there too. [Not many. Only 18723 are available at the moment. That\'s because the guys of our sect during our time back then spent a lot of time filling the coffers. For us, it isn\'t hard to obtain a lot of Rank Three Divine Stones, but we would need something like a city, and a big one at that, to trade for it. I doubt we can find such high-level Divine Stones in this continent where Divine Energy is so sparse.]I think you should take a look at

Rean sighed in response. "If we use all the Rank Three Divine Stones, it will only be enough for forty-five days and a half of acceleration at 67 times the speed." They needed 1000 to 1200 years at least, and that would still mean 15 years or more gone in the outside world. Forty-five days while they needed a thousand years was truly nothing at all. 

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "Sure, the formation is marvelous, but it is also hungry as fuck!"

"However, we still have around 3000 Rank Four Divine Stones. Give it a try and let\'s see how much we can get from that with a not-so-fast acceleration," Roan said. "If possible, I truly don\'t want to use the Divine Origin Energy cores for this."

Rean nodded and quickly made the swap. This time, with Rank Four Divine Stones, the screen showed an acceleration speed of up to a ridiculous 311 times. Rank Four Divine Stones were much harder to get, but the screen in front of Rean reflected their worth. 

Too bad that the crazy number was pretty much useless. Selecting that speed would consume one Rank Four Divine Stone every ten seconds. With only 3000 available, this kind of acceleration would only work for 8 hours and something.

Rean already knew that one Divine Stone would be used every ten seconds if he chose the highest option. This time, however, he didn\'t select half of 311. Instead, he chose only 30 times, less than a tenth of the speed acceleration available.

Once again, the Rank Four Divine Stone\'s worth was proven. The twins had to wait 13 hours before the first one broke! "Holy Shit! One Rank Four Divine Stone every thirteen hours with a 30-times speed increment. This is amazing, and 30 times speed isn\'t anything to scoff at. It just pains me to see that we have to use Rank Four Divine Stone for that."

Roan didn\'t mind. "It\'s better than using Divine Origin Energy Cores. These things are priceless in our Universe. Still, let me calculate how long we can keep 30 times acceleration." Roan did a quick check in his mind before saying, "Sigh... still not good enough. Our 3000 Rank Four Divine Stones will only give us four years and five months or so of acceleration. A lot better than the previous tests, but still lacking."

"Should we reduce the speed increment to 20 times and see what happens? It will definitely last way more than just four years. Proportionally, it will definitely last more than double that time," said Rean.

Roan shook his head. "It would be good in other situations, but not this one. Remember, we need at least a thousand years to get to the Space-Tiem Realm. If we use a 20 times acceleration, that would mean 50 years in the outside world. The Realm of Gods is at war with the Devils. Do you want to wait that long before we can leave this place? I would rather try my luck and fly in the direction of the Center of the Realm of Gods, trying to find a Demon Beast city with a teleport formation. 30 times is already not to my liking, to be honest, but I can at least accept it."

It was then that Sister Orb reminded the twins. [I did say you would take at least a thousand years to get to the Space-Time Realm. However, did you forget you still have 1633215 Destiny Points available? You could buy upgrades related to your cultivation speed.]

The twins\' eyes lit up. "Well said, Sister Orb."
