The Innkeeper

Chapter 1302  Please consult with me in the future

For several seconds they just looked at one another which, considering the fact that they were immortals and processed time much faster than mortals, may as well have been hours.

"No seriously, what\'s wrong with her?" Lex asked.

"I have not exaggerated your sister\'s circumstances. In fact, considering that my clone does not have the full scope of my own investigative abilities, I may have understated the intensity of her situation. From what I can tell, the realm seed within her body is also nurturing the souls of countless humans who remained within the original world.

"I cannot be certain of their current status, but it is entirely possible that they too come linked to the new realm or even your sister. If they have strong feelings of worship or admiration towards your sister, it is entirely possible that they start to generate divine energy, which would feed your sister, either turning her into a Deity, or the new realm into a divine realm! "If your sister becomes a Dao Lord level Deity with a divine realm… I cannot even begin to speculate how immensely powerful she will become. It is almost certain that she will become one of the strongest Deities alive in the universe. For that reason, I actually encourage you to shift her from the Midnight Inn to the Temple of Fasting.

"The Temple of Fasting is specially equipped to stay hidden from even Dao level entities, preserving the possibility of a resurgence among humans. This way, no one will be able to discover her existence at all - including those Dao level entities who seek to keep humanity suppressed. Of course, this is just my suggestion.

"If the Innkeeper is willing to hide your sister, then I\'m sure she is just as safe here as she would be within the Temple of Fasting. It\'s just that, if she is moved to the Temple, then the Innkeeper will avoid being pulled into this power struggle prematurely.

"For the sake of full disclosure, I also have to admit that I have never seen a physique like your sisters. If she is moved to the Temple, then we can look more deeply into the details of her physique."

"Are you saying that the Destiny ranked protection formation of the Midnight Inn is not enough to hide Moon from being detected by other Dao beings?" Lex asked, ignoring the enormity of everything else that Cassandra just said.

He was also now thinking if he should look into ways of finding Taro fertilizer once more to speed up the maturing process of the realm within Moon. At the same time, he was concerned if speeding up the process might somehow harm Moon.

Why was this so complicated? Compared to what he did with Liz, all he did with Moon was help her absorb a planet. What was the big deal with that? Wait…

"I will consider what to do with Moon, but first, I might need you to come look at my other sister as well. She\'s currently bonding with a Sovereign."

Cassandra showed no change of expression externally, but Lex felt that her emotions were quite turbulent beneath that calm facade. This time, it was Cassandra who kept looking at Lex, waiting for him to reveal that he was joking, but he did not.

"Do you know, in the history of humanity, there has never been anyone as absurd as you and your siblings," Cassandra said straightforwardly. "Not even the original thirteen humans, born directly from the hand of the Mother, could match up to you. Come, take me to your other sister. Let me see how far her bonding process has gone, and what its repercussions are going to be. It would be quite funny if humanity, which has lacked a Dao Lord for so long, suddenly gains two of them, and they happen to be sisters. In the future, when doing something so… out of the ordinary, please feel free to contact someone from the Temple. Even if I am not available, they will always act in the best interest of humanity."

Lex did not respond to that. He was well aware of the fact that what might be in the best interest of humanity might not be in his personal best interest. That was why he was hesitant to move Moon to the Temple. Though it might assure her safety, her physique was extremely unusual. Who knows what the Temple might decide to do once they learn more about it - all in the pursuit of strengthening humanity. He did not want to deal with any more Moon clones than he already was.

It seemed like the only viable option would be to strengthen the Inn\'s protective formation somehow.

Lex teleported Cassandra and himself to the site where Liz was fusing with Nemo. They did not go too close lest they disrupt the process, but just came close enough for Cassandra to take a look.

"Well, the good news is that your sister won\'t directly shoot to the Dao realm, which means her bonding process won\'t take billions of years. The not so good news is that she will need a very effective way to hide herself if she ever wants to leave the Inn. The enemies of humanity will sense the turbulence she will cause as soon as she leaves the protection of the Inns formation.

"To be clear, her strength and universal relevance are nowhere near that of your other sister. But it will take a long time before Moon reaches a level where others might sense her even for just existing. This sister of yours…"

"Liz," Lex informed her.

"Liz\'s presence in the universe will immediately throw a lot of things into disarray as soon as she leaves the Inn, which means she will be a lot easier to detect."

"How long do you think it will take her to complete her bond?" Lex asked. He did not think it would be much of an issue to convince Liz to stay in the Inn for a while. The Midnight realm was big enough for her to explore for quite a while, not to mention the many minor realms it held.

"That is completely up to how long the Sovereign thinks it should take," Cassandra said, a rare hint of fatigue showing up on her face. "Let\'s hurry to the Crystal realm now. My clone is running out of energy."

Lex nodded, and then teleported the two of them to the Crystal realm. This technically counted as a use of Cassandra\'s privilege, as well as Lex\'s increased authority over the system. Otherwise it was not so straightforward for guests to travel to the other realms connected to the Inn.

It had been a long time since Lex had come to the Crystal realm, and from what he recalled the entire realm was being engulfed by a savage war consisting of hundreds of thousands of immortals. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Such a vast number of immortals was difficult to gather even among the average Fuegan battlefield within the Origin realm. Considering the fact that the Crystal realm was also suffering from a severe weakness in the foundation of the realm itself, Lex expected that the war had caused the situation to deteriorate.

When he arrived in the realm, however, he discovered the opposite to be true. The sense of weakness he felt from the realm had in fact dissipated to quite a large degree, while the realm itself seemed much more solid and vibrant in its laws, though the landscape seemed utterly devastated.

It had been a while since even the tavern left the Crystal realm, so he was not exactly abreast with the news of the place, but the situation was completely out of Lex\'s expectations.

"This land has been nourished by the blood of countless foreign immortals," Cassandra said as she surveyed the lands. "It has sped up the maturing process of the realm, but the realm is also unstable and its accelerated growth is actually putting it on the path of destruction."

"Yeah, the realm is being invaded by a foreign race known as the Kraven. I actually have an appointment with one of the leading figures of that race coming up. But that can wait. Let me take you to the capital of Hum nation. That\'s where the King of the nation should be."

Since Lex had spent some time within the Crystal realm, he could easily find the locations he had previously visited even without the need to visit actual teleportation formations. His teleportation capabilities had progressed drastically from when he was here last.

A moment later, the two of them disappeared.
