Death... and me
chapter-2466

Flinyu took a deep breath and took the jade slip. Something sent by a Semi-Celestial was destined to be not simple. Flinyu quickly noticed the seal on the message, narrowing his eyes. Right after, he tried to use his own cultivation to break the seal. Yet, the seal didn't even budge, much to his surprise.

Folesve, seeing that, immediately understood. "Let me give it a try."

Flinyu nodded and passed the jade slip to Folesve. After giving it a try, Folesve confirmed his suspicions. "This has the power of a Semi-Celestial in it. There is no way people like us will be able to break this seal."

Flinyu then took it back and made a decision. "I'm going to bring this Jade Slip to my master. He probably can open it... Or, to be better, I'm pretty sure this Jade Slip was meant for him."

Folesve had no complaints. "Go then. I'll keep these guys company. Try to be fast."

Flinyu then opened a Spatial Gate and left, leaving only Folesve, Nolui, and Rean's group. Folesve took the chance to look at Rean's group. "What do you know about the Vruves?"

Rean and Kentucky looked at each other before returning their attention to Folesve. "We know they aren't any weaker than the other three powers of this side of the Universe. If anything, they are probably stronger than just the Realm of Gods, for example. However, it seems like no one really knows what they want as they barely interfere with anything."

Folesve sighed. "That's partially true. It's not that they barely intervene, but that we are always with our eyes open. The Divinity Experts of the Realm of Gods aren't exactly good friends. Well, that much you probably already knew about. Still, when it comes to the Vruves, we are all of one mind. We must not give them a single inch. Otherwise, they might indeed conquer the entire Realm of Gods on their own."

Rean couldn't help but ask. "As I mentioned, I know they are strong, probably even stronger than the Realm of Gods' powers joined together. However, even I find it hard to believe. I mean, look at how big the Realm of Gods is and how many experts we have in total. Could a single organization like the Vruves truly topple such a ridiculously big entity that is the Realm of Gods?"

"They could," Folesve didn't even think twice before answering that. "Not only can they do it, they would have done it already if not for a certain creature."

"Certain creature?" Rean asked back. "Are you talking about the Semi-Celestials we have in the Realm of Gods? Or is it senior Hyeoumu?"

"So you know about Hyeoumu," Folesve nodded. "It's because of Hyeoumu, indeed. We do have Semi-Celestials like senior Gragatou. However, it is believed the Vruve Organization has more Semi-Celestials than we do. Well, as far as I'm aware, our Realm of Gods only has four of five of them, and I'm not even sure. The only one I know to be alive is Gragatou. I have no idea about the others."

Rean also knew about Huban, so that makes two of them. Of course, he wouldn't tell Folesve that. He asked something else instead. "What about the Heavens and the Underworld?" Rean was curious.

"Should be more or less the same," Folesve answered. "But since I don't even know about our Realm of Gods' total number, you can already imagine how hard it is to get information about Semi-Celestials from those other two Realms."

"I see..." Rean pondered a bit. One thing was weird, though. "If the Semi-Celestials could talk to each other by manipulating the laws, shouldn't they all know exactly how many of them there are in the Universe?" Even Kafan, on the other side, could talk to Huban here, after all.

However, Folesve shook his head. "That's not the case. They can indeed talk to each other, but that is only if they make themselves visible to those who want to talk to them. You just need to think about it a little bit. If they can manipulate the laws to talk with other Semi-Celestials, what stops them from doing the same thing to hide themselves?"

Rean had to admit that Folesve's words made sense. "Then how are you so sure the Vruves have more Semi-Celestials?"

However, Folesve shook his head. "That's because, according to senior Gragatou, the Vruves always keep four of their Semi-Celestials visible, and they have been visible for countless years, always holding the fort in the Temporal Path. After so long, no one truly believes the Vruves don't have more of them, even if such existences are ridiculously hard to appear."

Rean thought about it and had an idea. Back in the facility underground on Earth's surface, Rean found out his Father was researching a method to surpass the Divinity Realm. It seemed like such a method did exist outside this Universe. 'Hum... We also found out that the Vruves had contact with the people of the Lingan Universe back in the Ruins of the Stars...'

Indeed. Back in the Ruins of the Stars, the Vruves brought a 'person' who seemed to be a member of the real crew of the Ruins of the Stars before it was sabotaged. After hearing Folesve's words, it wasn't hard for Rean to imagine that, perhaps, the Vruves have their hands on information regarding how to surpass the Divinity Realm. They might not have succeeded yet, but that would at least give birth to quite a few Semi-Celestials.

Roan, knowing what Rean was thinking, also commented. 'Alright, we have Hyeoumu to prevent the Vruves from taking the Realm of Gods. But what about the Underworld and the Heavens? Do they have some existence at Hyeoumu's level?'

Rean was also curious, so he asked Folesve directly.

Hearing the question, Folesve shook his head. "Unfortunately, we have no idea. There might be countless factors as to why they aren't a target either. But if I am to guess, I would say that the three Higher Realms had always been wary of the Vruves. Perhaps the Vruves were afraid that we would all join forces if they tried to conquer one of the Realms. In that case, then we are likely stronger."

Rean nodded. "No wonder the possibility of the Vruves allying with the Devils is such a dangerous topic."

Folesve agreed. "Exactly."
