Death… And Me-Chapter 1631 Can’t Rely On Them

Rean and Roan would be lying if they thought something like that wouldn't happen. Three years without anything happening? How many times did they have so much free time? They were absolutely sure that the System would come up with something as soon as the mode was turned off. It wasn't a bad thing, though. After all, they wanted Destiny Points to buy the next upgrade of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. 'There it comes.'

[Jhiod's Continental Barrier is protected by the Temporal Barrier Fusion Formation. One way to get through it is to acquire permission from one of the top five powers of Lebgram.]

[Quest Objective: Enter Jhiod Continent without relying on any of the top five powers of Lebgram.]

Rean and Roan were taken aback to see that. That's exactly what they were intending to do. But now, the quest would fail if they did that. Then again, Rean and Roan immediately got another idea that would comply with the quest's objective... too bad the System didn't stop there.

[Failure Condition: Leaving Lebgram Continent]

Their mouths twitched after that. "Fuck this shit!" Lebgram wasn't the only continent surrounding Jhiod, after all. Since they couldn't rely on the top five powers of Lebgram, they just needed to go to another continent and do that. Unfortunately, that option was now gone... unless they didn't mind if the quest failed.

[Quest time: Ten years.]

'At least the time is long enough to match the official opening of the continental barrier,' Rean and Roan thought.

After that, the System mentioned the rewards.

[Quest Reward: Based on the time necessary to get to the other side.]

[Baseline: 300000 Destiny Points, quest completed in less than a year.]

[270000 if less than two years but more than one.]

[240000 if less than three years but more than two.]

[210000...]

The description continued until the last year. Obviously, the last reward was 30000 Destiny Points if the quest was concluded there.

The twins then waited a bit more, but it seemed like the System was done explaining.

"This is going to be complicated. Depending on how long it'll take for the official opening to happen, we might have to wait for nine years."

Sister Orb then gave them a piece of good news. [Hey, it's not all that bad. Haven't you noticed? There's no punishment for quest failure. That means you can also completely ignore this quest and rely on one of the top powers of this continent to get on the other side. All that will happen is that you won't get a single Destiny Point from it.]

The twins had to admit Sister Orb was right. Well, they had no intention to break the rules of the quest since they definitely wanted as many Destiny Points as possible. Besides... "That's a very generous reward just to get to the other side of the continental barrier," Rean mentioned.

Then again, how would they get to the other side without relying on the top powers of Lebgram? Was that even possible? After all, cultivation was out of the question.

Roan then shook his head, saying, "Let's head to the center of the continent first. That's going to be the best place to gather information." He then looked at Rean before asking, "I won't save Divine Stones. Is that okay?"

Rean nodded in response. "Definitely. Destiny Points are more important than any amount of Divine Stones."

Rean then returned to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm with Luan, leaving Roan alone to take the teleport formations. Surprisingly, Roan really didn't save Divine Stones. He didn't care about paying extra to get to use the teleport formations straight away instead of having to wait their activation times. The only good thing was that he didn't need to use Rank Two Divine Stones for that.

It went without saying that Roan got to the center of the continent in a flash, as he didn't spend more than a few minutes in each Formation Guild of each city. No more than three days had passed so far, although the Dimensional Realm was down by over 5000 Rank One Divine Stones in exchange.

Rean then came out of the Dimensional Realm before saying, "I'm going to exchange some Rank Two Divine Stones for Rank One again. We still have more than half of them, but I would rather be safe."

Roan didn't mind, saying, "That's fine. Just remember that Destiny Avoidance Mode is not working anymore. There's a good chance that you will catch a bit of attention if you trade too many of them like last time."

It was then that Rean got an idea. "Perhaps that's a good thing, no? We're in the Transition Realm. Anyone who comes after us is definitely someone powerful enough and with some information. Chances are that we will get some Peak Transition Realm or Initial Stage Void Tempering Realm cultivator to come after us. Naturally, such experts are of little concern to us."

Roan narrowed his eyes in response. "But if these experts turn out to be someone from the top five powers, we would be infringing the system quest's rules."

[Not really.] Sister Orb intervened there. [The quest only said you can't rely on them to get through the barrier. It didn't say anything about getting information from them. As long as the reason for you to get through the Continental Barrier isn't directly connected to them, then it's fine.]

Roan was happy to hear that. "If that's the case, I'll follow Rean from the shadows during this trade. Just remember that you will need to leave the city if you really want to be attacked."

"What if our opponent is too strong?" Rean asked. Well, the twins could even fight those in the Peak Stage of the Void Tempering Realm with their actual strength. Even an Initial Stage Space Bending Realm cultivator wasn't out of the question if they joined forces. After all, they now had an incredibly small amount of control over spatial powers.

Roan shrugged his shoulders once he heard that. "Then we'll just give all our spatial rings to them."

Sure enough, they wouldn't leave many things inside the spatial rings.

With that, Rean went to the main bank of Ducla City, Gromel Clan Bank.
