1713: Just you wait and see!

Just you wait and see!

"Then again, be aware that my knowledge about the Realm of Gods is very shallow," Philip added.1

Rean shook his head, saying, "Just the fact that you know something about it is already much better than any other continental powers. Please, tell us what you know."

Since Philip already didn't care if the twins left after the selection, he saw no reason to hide the little he knew. "Alright. From what I know, and I might be wrong, the center of the Realm of Gods is separated into four main continental regions. Think about it as a huge circle with who knows how many continents inside."

Philip continued, "This circle is separated into four territories. One territory is taken by our humanoid races, and it's the southeast region. The southwest is in the hands of the spirits. The one you want to head to can be found in the northwest, which is the demon beasts' territory. As for the last one, northeast, I have no idea. Well, I've never tried to investigate anyway."

"By the way, the Jamai Sect is close to the center of the Realm of Gods but is not really located there. In any case, it can be found if you continue going southeast once you leave the center of the Realm of Gods. Don't misunderstand, though. When I say close, I mean it when you take the Realm of Gods as a whole. Otherwise, I can guarantee that the Jamai Sect is several times further away from the center of the Realm of Gods than our Jhiod Continent is from Huring, for example."

The twins' group had already gotten used to the scales of things in the Realm of Gods, so they were surprised by that distance. "Compared to the distance from here to Jamai Sect, that's nothing. We just need to wait eleven years, and we'll be able to cross this entire distance. That's more than enough already."

Philip nodded in agreement. "Indeed." Soon after, he changed the topic. "Well, that's as much as I know about that topic. The rest is up to you. Now, let's talk about the sparring schedule you will have with our trusted Yume Clan members."

In the end, Philip really wasn't willing to pay much for the days that the twins would fight. He used his offer to get to Jamai Sect to reach an agreement where Rean and Roan would only get 100 Rank Two Divine Stones for each day of work.

Of course, the twins didn't really care about that. They didn't lack Rank Two Divine Stones at the moment anyway. The teleport was all they needed. With that resolved, Philip finally left the twins' group alone for them to discuss their own issues. 

Well, the only problem at the moment was the journey Kentucky had to do to head to the Minokawa's country. "Kentucky, it seems like you will have to go alone."

Kentucky didn't seem to mind, though. "It's fine. I can take care of myself. You said it, didn't you? I could leave anytime I wanted. Now I want to go alone."

Celis narrowed his eyes in response. "What do you mean alone? Didn't I say I would go with you?"

However, Kentucky shook his head. "Our Divine Demon Bird and Tree pact does really help our cultivation a lot. However, during the time you're with me, you won't have access to the Soul Gem Realm and the high-level Divine Stones there. Don't forget that the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm gathers more Divine Energy on its own as well. Once your ability to spread your roots and absorb the entire area's Divine Energy is used to the max there, our cultivation speeds reach their maximum speed."

Kentucky continued, "I believe our pact is not as effective as being in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Of course, the best would be for us to be close to each other while staying in the Dimensional Realm, but I have to go to that country. Unfortunately, Rean and Roan have to do their business here in the Jhiod Sect during these next eleven years."

"Anyways, the cultivation connection between me, Rean, Roan, and you will allow me to receive my part of the Divine Energy even if I'm very far away. It's just that it won't be as effective compared to staying around with all of you."

Roan gave Kentucky a rare nod of approval. "It seems like you already thought about everything."

Kentucky was happy to hear that. "Hehe! But of course! It's already time for me to venture outside on my own as well. I'll take it as an opportunity."

"That's good and all," Rean intervened. "But I hope you won't stop at every city to start a new Minokawa Reverence Cult with the women there."

Kentucky looked away after that. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Five years," Rean told him. "The round trip should take two years less than that, so I'm giving you five years to go there and come back. If you don't, I'm heading there myself to check what's happening."

Kentucky thought it to be more than enough. "Sure, I'll be back in five years." At the same time, he thought, 'Hehe! I'm going to use three years for the round trip and enjoy myself during the last two.'

It wasn't like Rean, Roan, and Celis couldn't tell what the idiot bird was thinking. However, they decided not to intervene this time. "By the way, when are you intending to depart?"

Kentucky pondered over it for a bit before answering, "In a month or so. I want to wait and see if everything goes well on your side. After all, you might get worried about me, and so do I about you. What will you do when the great Kentucky isn't around? You need to get used to that."

"The great Kentucky, huh?" Rean smiled in response. "Well, let's hope the great Kentucky won't get himself in a dire situation because we aren't there to cover his ass."

"Hmph! Just you wait and see!" Kentucky rebuked back.
