DEATH… AND ME

echniques are like that,] Sister Orb told them.
[On the other hand, it takes a very long time to accumulate the necessary Starlight for the breakthrough, not to mention the required material.]

And that was the part that puzzled Roan.
“Why can we break through straight into the Third Grade, then? We do have the bones, but we don’t have the Starlight necessary for the breakthroughs.”

Sister Orb answered.
[What are you talking about? You have a lot of Starlight Energy for use, just enough to reach the third grade.]

“We do?!” Rean and Roan were taken aback.

Sister Orb confirmed.
[You do.
It’s right at the center of the Dimensional Realm.]

The twins immediately looked at the Foundation Fragment.
That was the only thing present there.
“You mean this fragment has enough energy for our breakthroughs? How?”

[Quite simple.
The Foundation sustains the entire Universe.
Naturally, it also sustains the stars.
After who knows how many years, it has accumulated quite a bit of Starlight Energy.
Well, the fact is that it should have much, much more of it.
But because of how long it was kept in that mausoleum, it lost more than 99% of the Starlight it had accumulated.
That’s why you can only reach the third grade with it.]

Sister Orb continued.
[Well, even if it had more Starlight Energy, your limit would still be the third grade anyway, so it’d be useless.
You will have to gather Starlight on your own after reaching the third grade.]

“That’s quite convenient.
However, there’s another problem.
The Starlight inside the fragment isn’t the same as our own stars’ Starlight.
We shouldn’t be able to use it for cultivation, remember?”

[You’re correct.
You shouldn’t be able to use other stars’ Starlight.
However, the energy inside the fragment is different.
As the Foundation of the Universe, everything in it is compatible with everything outside it.
The Starlight inside the fragment is the only foreign Starlight you’ll be able to absorb.]

Rean couldn’t help but ask, “Then… can’t we use this method a few more times? Use the fragment to gather the foreign Starlights and let the fragment make it compatible with us.”

Sister Orb laughed after hearing that.
[Hahaha! Of course you can… as long as you’re willing to wait for it to accumulate the necessary Starlight Energy, that is.]

Rean and Roan immediately noticed the problem with the theory.
“Er… how long would we need to wait for it to accumulate enough Starlight Energy to enter the fourth grade?”

[Hehe! A million or so years should do the trick.]

Rean and Roan immediately gave up on the idea. 

Sister Orb then explained.
[In the end, it’s because it had been accumulating Starlight Energy for eons that it has this much.
The fragment had never been something that existed for collecting and making Starlight Energy compatible with others.
Think of it as a positive side effect of the fragment.
You two can accumulate Starlight Energy from your own stars countless times faster.]

Rean and Roan nodded after hearing that.
“Well, we can’t complain that we can head straight to the third grade because of it.
Now then, let’s check the material we need for the technique.”
