Ellery looked down the hallway and saw that the walls and the floor were completely different from the rest of the palace. The cave walls looked frozen in time because there wasn't even a speck of dust or dirt.

At the end of the tunnel, there was a light that made it seem like the cave was opened to the sky.

"This..." Akimitsu looked around and touched the walls. The walls felt real, but at the same time, they felt fake, like an illusion.

Eliane didn't look at them and slowly walked down the long tunnel. "This is a space created by the Beast God. He left this behind for the first Emperor. From what I know, there was never a time when the Beast God's gift had to be used. Even so, we, as members of the Imperial family, had been tasked to protect this crystal for when a crisis happens that we are not capable of solving."

Eliane stopped at the entrance of the clearing, staring at the perfectly carved crystal orb. It was clear, but when the light touched it, people could see rainbows inside the orb.

"Unfortunately, the only ones who can use this crystal are guides. The Beast God created this for their lover, who was a guide. In turn, when it was given to the Imperial family, we were told only a guide could use it."

Ellery was in awe at the crystal. "How do we use it?"

"When the guide puts spiritual power into the crystal, it will create a line that will point in the direction of the Beast God. The more opaque the line is, the closer you are to the Beast God."

Eliane looked over at Ellery with a serious expression. "Ellery, I would feel more comfortable if you and Aster were the only ones using this divine crystal. If the other countries were to find out we have this, it may start a war for it."

Being able to find the Beast God accurately was akin to keeping the country safe from the ever-growing threat of the Ineks.

"Even if this was a gift from the Beast God, the other leaders wouldn't care about that. They will do anything to have this in their hands."

It was no wonder only the Emperor knew about this.

"I understand, Your Majesty... I will be sure to be the only one who knows of this. I will keep it safe and return it when I am done."

"Thank you, Ellery. I trust you. Do you need this now?"

Ellery shook his head. "No, not yet. I need to find my brother first, and then I will ask you for it."

He wanted to find Orin first because he felt a bit guilty for not trying to find his brother in his previous life. No one else but Aster knew about his rebirth, but this matter weighed heavily on his mind.

Not only that, but he felt he was running out of time. If Orin was still alive, he didn't have anyone to guide him. That meant if he got into situations where he needed to use spiritual power, he could die from the corrupted energy.

For him, finding his brother was more important. His and Aster's situation was more stable at the moment, while his brother's situation was unstable and uncertain.

Finding the Beast God could be put off for a while.

"I understand, then, let's add each other on the terminal. When you need the crystal, let me know, and I will arrange a time for you to pick it up."
