Chapter 2992: Act with caution

The Golden Crow noticed its own problem and immediately ignored the cultivators below. Instead, it looked into the distance, seemingly aware of what was happening. Right after, it took flight and disappeared to the south of the palace.
Everyone was dumbstruck by those events. It had the power to destroy them all without resistance. No treasures would help them there. Yet, before it started to massacrate everyone present, it began to fall apart somehow. Then... it just left.
Rean and Roan looked at each other, feeling confused. Not that the Golden Crow was falling apart, but because of its Space Bending Realm.
'This Werdlem Empire is really weird... I couldn't feel it.' Rean couldn't help but comment. Roan understood why. 'Indeed. I couldn't feel the suppression of the Mortal Realm either.' Back in Lisan, the laws of the Mortal Realm always try to reject those who aren't supposed to be there. The twins went there back then and had to leave after a while. The suppression of laws was very apparent, and it was easy for anyone near to notice as long as they had the necessary cultivation to feel it. However, the twins have a Peak Divinity Realm Soul, but they still can't feel anything.
'Could it be we just didn't feel it because our cultivation is too low... I thought our soul was enough to make up for our senses,' Rean commented.
[No, that wasn't it.] Sister Orb immediately spoke. [I also didn't feel anything, and I don't have issues of cultivation since I don't have any. To be honest, I didn't even know that 'sun' was actually a Golden Crow. No, calling it a Golden Crow isn't really correct either.]
'What do you mean?' The twins asked back.
[Didn't you see how its body seemed to crack down? It will take some time for it to truly fall apart, but that isn't something you would expect of such an existence. To be honest, it felt more like a puppet than anything else.]
Rean pondered a bit and comprehended the situation better. 'Well, that makes sense. But I wouldn't call it a puppet, either. It is more like a projection or a guardian of sorts. Well, who knows? Perhaps the suppression acts differently in this Universe. After all, it was breaking down, so that might be the result of this Universe's suppression.'
[True, I can't deny the possibility.] Sister Orb didn't think much about it. [Anyway, don't waste your time. With it gone, the Sunlight Energy around the tower will diminish soon, perhaps even disappear. Get ready to enter the hut.]
The twins nodded. Roan looked in the direction of the other experts, and they all seemed to understand the same thing. Regardless if the monster disappeared or not, it was a fact it was kind of protecting the tower. Now that it was gone, that was their chance to get inside.
Not everyone stayed behind, though. Some of the experts immediately left, following the Golden Crow. It seemed to be dying or something like that, after all. It also had a power much higher than a Transition Realm expert, so who could say the Divine Werdlem Stone wasn't inside it? Everyone understood that possibility, but it was a gamble. Some risked to follow the crow, and the rest stayed.
[Why are you always like this...] Sister Orb was helpless.
Nonetheless, the twins had to accept it for the sake of the system. 'Alright, go ahead, system.'
[Permission granted.]
The Control Orb came out of its spatial gap and immediately pulled the crystal where Sister Orb was inside. The crystal disappeared inside the Control Orb, merging with it.
[Integration Process initialized.]
[Reading the connection of higher energies. Attunement in progress...]
[Foreign scanning detected. Blocking signal...]
The twins got nervous. At their level, they would be nothing but ants if the Werdlem Empire
focused on them.
[Scanning successfully blocked.]
The twins sighed in relief.
[Be aware,] the system continued, [even though the scan was blocked, the fact a scanning
process was initialized means that the system attunement with the Werdlem Empire was detected. Hosts must act cautiously.]
