Chapter 2661 Which Side?
Chapter 2661 Which Side?
“Is there anything special with your Loporrit Race?” Rean asked Bunbun.
“For a start, no other race can beat us at controlling Chaos Laws,” Bunbun mentioned as he gathered Chaos Laws around his paw. Anyone in the room could tell that Bunbun’s proficiency wasn’t something they could imitate, at least not at the moment at least.
“But if I were to point out the main difference between us and the Demon Beasts, it is the fact we acquired intelligence even though we had no cultivation,” Bunbun then added the most important part.
“This…” Rean, Celis, and Kentucky had forgotten about this point. Indeed, in the Mortal Realm, one must reach at least the fifth stage to gain sentience as a Demon Beast, which is equivalent to a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. In the Realm of Gods, it is even rasher, as you need to get to the Transition Realm instead.
Seeing Rean’s group face, Bunbun snorted. “We told you we weren’t Demon Beasts, but it seems like only now you truly started to think about us as something else, right?”
Rean scratched the back of his head as Celis and Kentucky looked away. After all, the Loporrits seemed to be Demon Beasts, so even if they said they weren’t, it was hard to believe.
Bunbun added another point. “Hmph! Quite a bunch of idiots. First of all, Demon Beasts go through stages during their early cultivation realms. Yet we, Loporrits, are properly going through the same realms as the humanoid races. Try to use your brains a bit.”

Roan didn’t really care about any of that when Lolio mentioned it to him, though. “Whatever. I’m more interest in the tower you found. When I was moving in the tower’s direction, I could see it even though I was so far away. It didn’t seem to be underground at all.”
Lolio pulled more memories to the Sea of Mind as he explained with their help. “You aren’t wrong. The Tower you saw could be said to be anything but underground. However, look at what we found when we tried to dig around it.”
Roan absorbed those memories and finally understood. In the memories, only the very last floor of the tower existed. As for the rest of the tower, it was submerged in what seemed to be a Spatial Distortion. “Is it inside a Dimensional Realm?”
“No,” Lolio shook his head. “All I know is that it came from a place were the same type of Laws that exist in our world now is extremely abundant.”
—
“What?!” Rean, Kentucky, and Celis were shocked by that news. “Could it be the Chaos Origin Source?! How’s that possible? No one even knows where you can find it.”
[I know how, and you know that,] Sister Orb mentioned. Well, she did say she could bring the twins into the Chaos Origin Source many years ago and it wasn’t like Rean and the others forgot. (Chapter 2055) It’s just that Rean wouldn’t mention that to Bunbun. [Anyway, it seems like I was right. Do you remember when I said this place might have a connection with the Chaos Origin Source? Now we know what that connection was; it was that tower.]
Bunbun obviously didn’t Hear Sister Orb, so he simply continued with his own explanation. “You call that place Chaos Origin Source? Well, I guess it makes sense since you call the laws of our world Chaos Laws and Chaos Energy. One thing is certain, though. Back when we found it with Kafan, no one used this name for these Laws. It was probably Kafan’s subordinates who ended up spreading the news many years later.”
Rean didn’t doubt that. “To think it was Kafan who first got in contact with Chaos Laws. In the outside world, we have a few items that contain a bit of Chaos Laws inside. I wonder when these laws began to be called Chaos Laws.”
At the same time, Rean asked Sister Orb. ‘Sister Orb, the first time we heard about Chaos Laws, it was you who told us. Do you remember from where you picked that name?’
[Sorry, this is probably part of the memories I don’t have access to.]
Rean didn’t mind. He was just curious. Whatever name the laws had didn’t matter much.

Although Roan and Lolio were talking, all the other memories not related to the story were also being absorbed by Roan. Yet, he could feel that they weren’t taking over his mind like he first feared. It truly didn’t seem like Lolio wanted to take over his body, so Roan didn’t say anything about it. Instead, he continued to focus on the story. “Alright, you found what probably was an entrance to the Chaos Origin Source. I don’t need to explain to you what it is since you also have access to my memories, right?” Lolio nodded. “I do. And I have to admit that was probably the case. Of course, we had no idea back then. It was Kafan who first noticed that those weird laws could be used to help comprehend other laws, too. After all, he was already a Semi-Celestial back then. Too bad it was way too little.”
Roan nodded. He already noticed during his journey in this world that depending on the concentration of Chaos Laws, they might not help at all with one’s laws comprehension. “Let me guess, you all decided you wanted to enter that place, right?”
“Not quite,” Lolio shook his head. “You see, that tiny, tiny bit of Chaos Laws already caused such a huge change to a race of mortal animals. What could possibly happen if we unleashed all the potential of the place where the tower was submerged?”

“Turns out that Laweia was completely against it,” Bunbun also reached that part of the story. “It was too risky, and no one could say the opposite. Nonetheless, Kafan was adamant he wanted to explore that place. After all… the secret for him to finally surpass the Semi-Celestial Realm might be inside.”
Bunbun’s memories drifted to that day. “Laweia’s group didn’t want the tower to be touched to not cause a calamity while Kafan and the Death Spirits wanted to open it and use that chance to increase their cultivation. Right in the middle… you had Lolio, who couldn’t decide which side to take.”
