Death… And Me

Chapter 2985: Opening



With everything resolved, Rean turned his attention to the Palace Gate. "Master, why is everyone waiting here? Can't we open the gate? Also, what do you know about it?"

"I don't know much," Diliy shook his head. "First of all, I didn't even know this place had a Palace. The only reason I got here was because I used my Sword Intent on someone else. If you look around, you will see that we don't have even half of the Transition Realm experts from back in th entrance. Most likely, the rest also don't know about this Palace or don't know how to get here."

He continued. "As for the reason we are waiting, that's because we can't open the gate, just like you said. Look at the gate itself."

Rean paid attention to the gate and couldn't see anything out of the norm. "Was there something in the gate?"

Roan was the one to answer that question. "Idiot. Look at the gate again. Can you see any damage?"

Rean finally understood. "Right! The gate is completely intact."

Diliy smiled after hearing that. "That's the point. Do you think we didn't try to force our way in? We already tried to join forces to attack the gate or the walls of the Palace. However, it is simply indestructible for us. No doubt this Palace was made with Materials of the Divine Realm."

"Is the Divine Realm part of the Higher Realms in our Universe?" Rean took the chance to ask. "Exactly," Diliy confirmed. "In the end, we had to give up and stay here. Of course, I only meant we gave up attacking the gate. We didn't give up trying to open it. If you pay attention at the bottom of the gate, you will be a few slots there."

Rean quickly turned his attention to the gate. Wait, aren't those slots..."

Roan nodded. "No doubt. They are identical to the Flower Frame Gofel used to find the Palace."

"So... we need the Flower Frames to open the gate?" Klifon asked.

"That's what we believe," Diliy quickly nodded. "Well, I'm simply staying here and waiting to see if more people bring those Flower Frames or whatever they are. I myself didn't even know those things existed until a few hours ago."

Diliy then pointed out. "The ones I know to have a Flower Frame are Zana of the Howester Treasures, Queen Amelia, Trogan Sect's Hruwan, and now that Gofel you just mentioned to have one. To enter the Palace, we will need five of those Flower Frames since there are five slots."

Suddenly, Gofel went to the gate with Donnan, stopping in front of it and looking at everyone else. "Everyone, I just heard about the Flower Frames needed for the gate. I just so happen to have one myself. Zana, Kruwan, and Amelia have one each, too. We just need one more, and considering the number of groups here, I'm pretty sure at least one of you has another."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gofel took his Flower Frame out. "Those who have one and haven't said anything are probably waiting to see if someone else doesn't offer a Flower Frame. Or perhaps there are only five Flower Frames to start with. Nonetheless, I ask you. Do you truly want to stay here and do nothing? At the moment, we don't have even half of the top experts from back in the entrance. However, sooner or later, they will find their way here. That means more competition. Please join me, and let's slot in our Flower Frames so we can enter the Palace. The less competitors after the Divine Werdlem Stone, the better."

Gofel's words were quite effective. Zana, Kruwan, and Amelia flew to their side and looked at the rest. Finally, Potari Dian, the Clan head of the Dia Clan, flew to the front of the gates. "Alright, your words make sense." Following that, he pulled out another Flower Frame from his Spatial Ring. "However, I will not be the first one to use my Flower Frame."

Amelia raised her hand. "Don't worry. I will be the first one. I just hope these friends here will do the same once I'm done."

Everyone nodded. As long as someone else went first, they had no complaints.

Amelia took out her own Flower Frame and approached it to the first slot on the gate. As soon as she did it, the slot shined together with Amelia's flower. An energy came out of the gate and pulled the Flower from Amelia's hand, slotting it into the gap. Finally, the slot in the gate and the flower frame changed. Both disappeared, and only the painting of a flower on the gain remained. No doubt it would be impossible to take the flower back now.

Amelia didn't mind and stepped away from the gate. "Alright, friends. Who's next?"

Gofel immediately took the lead. "I was the one who asked everyone to join forces, so I shall put in the effort as well. I will use my own Flower Frame now."

Gofel's flower had the same destiny as Amelia's. It was sucked into the slot and disappeared, leaving only a flower painting behind.

Kruwan and the others nodded and didn't waste time anymore. They all approached the slots and used their Flower Frames there. All three flowers disappeared a moment later, and now the gate had five flower paintings.

*Rumble...*

A burst of Spiritual Energy came from the gate as several mechanisms seemed to move inside. All the groups in waiting immediately got close to the gate, waiting to charge inside. Slow but surely, the gate began to open. However, the first guy who tried to dash inside was immediately assaulted by a power burst of Sunlight Energy.

"Get back!"

Diliy immediately grabbed Rean, Roan, and Klifon before flying away from the gate. The other experts did the same and took distance from the gate before they were hit by the same energy. As for the guy who tried to go in first, he was instantly turned into a dried corpse; such was the power of the Sunlight Energy inside the Palace.

*Roar!*

That wasn't all. The gate finished opening, and a huge mob of Sunlight Beasts came out, every single one of them as strong as an Elemental Transformation Realm expert or higher.
