517 Henrietta’s Offer“Why not?” Vaan asked with knitted brows, seemingly unconvinced unless he heard a good reason from Henrietta.
“According to what I know, the Ancestral Golden Dragon Pangea is at least a Divine Beast at the Divine Transformation Realm in order to be this big,” Henrietta mentioned.
“Although beings in the Divine Transformation Realm are as powerful as Rank 8 divine beings, they don’t live as long. A being at the Divine Transformation Realm can only live around fifty-thousand years.”
“How long do you think the Ancestral Golden Dragon Pangea had been trapped on this planet? Hundreds of thousands of years? Millions of years?” Henrietta asked rhetorically.
Nevertheless, she made her point.
Indeed, if the Ancestral Golden Dragon Pangea were only a Divine Beast in the Divine Transformation Realm, it would have died long ago. But that was only if the Ancestral Golden Dragon Pangea was in the Divine Transformation Realm.
“I understand your point,” Vaan acknowledged before calmly mentioning, “However, you said Pangea was at least in the Divine Transformation Realm. In other words, there is still a chance that Pangea could have been even stronger than this so-called Divine Transformation Realm, right?”
“Furthermore, from what I can see, you only estimated Pangea’s strength based on her body size. You didn’t account for her soul, did you?” Vaan casually asked. Henrietta was unable to refute Vaan’s words.
Indeed, even if Pangea’s physical body was dead, it wasn’t necessarily the same for the soul. After all, the soul could live much longer than the body.
Furthermore, the mana from Gehenna was nourishing the world of Pangea. Thus, if there was even a sliver of a chance that Pangea’s soul was still alive after all these years, it was hard to guess how much her soul had recovered from all the nourishment.
“You’re right,” Henrietta acknowledged with a nod before admitting, “Since you pointed that out, it does seem more likely for Pangea’s soul to be alive and responsible for the divine energy’s disappearance.”
“I should also point out that all life was born on Pangea’s body. In a sense, we are all part of Pangea. As such, I also think it’s reasonable to believe it’s not difficult for Pangea to absorb all the divine energy for herself,” Astoria inserted her opinion.
“That is also a valid point, Astoria,” Henrietta acknowledged.
“But no matter what we think, we won’t be able to confirm the truth just by standing here talking about it. We must reach the source and see for ourselves if we want to confirm it.”
“However, that’s something I would like to leave for another time,” Henrietta stated.
Even if they started digging into the earth, it was hard to say how long it would take to locate where all the energy went.
After all, Pangea was so large.
And even if they did locate the source, what could they even do if it was truly Pangea’s soul gathering all the energy?
Steal the energy back from Pangea’s soul? It doesn’t seem possible.
Help Pangea reawaken her soul and seek her help against Gehenna? Did they even have the ability to help such a mighty existence at their current level?
As such, Henrietta focused on the most realistic choice – becoming stronger.
“Anyway, you should be satisfied with my answer, right? Vaan? Can we talk about the divine energy crystal you acquired now?” Henrietta requested under her master’s urging before asking, “Do you have any more of them?”
“I do have more of them,” Vaan calmly admitted before asking with a thoughtful look, “But what will you do with such information?”
“An exchange. I wish to make an exchange with you, Vaan!” Henrietta stated before guaranteeing, “Whatever you want, I promise it’ll be worth the trade!”
“Oh?” Vaan smiled with interest and said, “Even if I give you a divine energy crystal for something I want, how do you intend to use it before all the divine energy dissipates into the ground? Or rather, can you protect the divine energy before you even receive the divine energy crystal from me?”
“This…” Henrietta was immediately tongue-tied for an answer.
However, Empyrean Scarletsea shortly informed Henrietta how she could protect the divine energy from dissipating into the ground. They just had to leave the planet and escape the absorption range.
At Henrietta’s level, she could indeed leave the world with some effort. But she wouldn’t be able to survive in outer space for long.
“There shouldn’t be a problem if we make the exchange in the sea of stars,” Henrietta stated before carefully reading Vaan’s expression, “However, that’s something you already know, right?”
“That’s true,” Vaan openly admitted before smiling calmly. “Alright, I can agree to exchange the divine energy crystal with you-but only if you can offer something I need of equal value. Do you have something like that?”
“You must know this divine energy is very beneficial for my aura cultivation,” Vaan added, putting additional pressure on Henrietta in hopes of getting the most value out of the exchange.
Henrietta took a deep breath to calm herself before weighing the options with a big frown.
‘Offer to teach him the method to reach True Divinity in energy cultivation, Empyrean Scarletsea instructed.
“T-The True Divinity-rank energy cultivation method, Master? Are you sure? Isn’t that far more valuable than a few divine energy crystals?’ Henrietta responded with shock due to her master’s decisive decision.
If it were in the Divine Realm, people would never imagine anyone would make such an absurd exchange. After all, the value of a True Divinity-rank energy cultivation method was priceless.
‘No matter how good a True Divinity-rank energy cultivation method is, it’s useless if there is no spirit energy or divine energy to use for cultivation. Moreover, this man won’t be satisfied with just some information about divine energy cultivation. We have to offer something of this level at least to show our sincerity,’ Empyrean Scarletsea calmly explained.
There was also no need to hide her presence anymore. She was certain that Vaan and Astoria were already suspecting something from all the information Henrietta had revealed.
Furthermore, knowing the method to reach True Divinity was one thing, but actually reaching that realm was a completely different story.
‘I understand,’ Henrietta complied.
Shortly after, Henrietta took another deep breath to calm herself. Then, her eyes flickered with a determined look.
“I will offer information about the energy cultivation system and teach you the method to effectively use divine energy to reach True Divinity” Henrietta firmly stated.
