Death... and me

Juri looked at everyone in the room before asking.

"Do you understand now just how incredible a Purple Color Aptitude is? The five sects would definitely fight for him. Also, the Royal Family would most likely intervene as well. A blue color aptitude would be enough to give us many problems, maybe even wiping out our Tribe. But a Purple aptitude is guaranteed to do so."

Of course, Juri just gave a Blue Color as an example, he didn't mention Inna Malaka at all.

"We understand, Tribe Leader."

Juri then looked at the baby.

"By the way, what is his name?"

"Mivo Yalen."

Time passed, and Juri discussed with those parents about Milo's future. They were a little curious about why Rean and Roan were there, but Juri assured them that it was okay. Finally, they all left the Aptitude Test hall.

On their way back, Juri looked at Rean and Roan.

"You perhaps don't have anything to do with this, do you?"

The twins' hearths skipped a bit after that question.

"Cough, cough. Errr... How can I say it... Maybe...?"

Juri's mouth twitched, but he didn't ask anymore. Rean then finished the Steel Workshop discussion with Juri, and the Twins returned home once again.

"Purple Aptitude, uh? Sister Orb, could it be better than our Black and White?"

[Hum... I can't be sure about that. It is obvious that you two are far better than Inna Malaka's Blue Color one. Still, I have never seen a Red or Purple Aptitude before. Don't forget that I was also on the other half of the Universe with you before coming here. We would need to pay attention in the future. However, I would say that he is at most at the same level. After all, he can't do the Elements Exchange like you.]

Rean and Roan agreed with her.

"Besides, we do have the tenth pillar too. Anyway, we are almost nine years old at the moment. So by the time his talent starts to show up, we might not even be here anymore."

The twins then started to cultivate once more.

Another year went by in a flash. During this time, Juri expanded the Steel Workshop and started to offer other types of service. Rean also helped to create other types of alloys like aluminum, which couldn't rust. Of course, they registered everything. With that, the income of the Varen Workshop increased even more. Everyone was curious about how they could think about so many new types of metal.

Juri had to acquire another two workshops to be able to attend the demand. The Zafa bank, of course, was more than happy enough to help. Rean also visited the Workshops quite a few times to make sure everything was going according to his ideas.

Thanks to all of that, Rean was able to obtain another 40 Destiny Points.

On Roan's side, he kept teaching the kids. As for his Death Sword Style, a few Tribe Warriors finally started to show some progress with the skills. Alanda, for example, could use the first form, Stellar Piercer, on a basic level. As for Juri, he put his focus on the second form, Crescent Moon.

With the extra spirit stones for cultivation, the Tribe's overall strength increased, giving Rean and Roan another 20 Destiny Points.

Varen was definitely at the level of a medium-sized one now. Of course, Almost no one knows that the Varen Tribe has two extra Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, Rean and Roan. Thanks to that, the other Tribes still considered them to be a Small Tribe. Since the Varen Tribe never looked for trouble with the nearby Tribes, others also couldn't tell exactly how strong they were either.

At the same time, in the Kianme Tribe, Kianme Yisval was in the middle of a meeting with another two Tribe Leaders. Kalan Bokou, from the Medium-Sized Bokou Tribe, and Xinken Hersin, from the Medium-Sized Hersin Tribe.

"Yisval, so you agree that all the spoils will be shared between Xinken and me alone, is that correct?"

Yisval nodded.

"Correct. As long as we wipe out this problem of our territory, you can have everything from there."

Xinken couldn't help but ask.

"But didn't you say before that you were going to wait after ten years had passed? Why are you acting one year earlier?"

Yisval grimaced before saying.

"The Varen Tribe started to receive a lot more Spirit Stones thanks to their Workshops in the Astreg City. It seems like they were even able to create new types of metal again, which increased their income. From what I found from their Tribe, Juri didn't keep all the Spirit Stones for himself as any other Tribe Leader would. He is sharing it with all his warriors nonstop. If I wait any longer, they might become too hard to deal with."

Xinken and Kalan narrowed their eyes. They are Medium-Sized Tribes from other territories, so they don't have much information from the Varen Tribe. Still, they knew about their Workshop, that's why they decided to take this deal and help the Kianme Tribe. They would be able to take all the Spirit Stones that Juri saved for themselves. But they didn't expect that Juri wasn't saving it but giving it all to his Tribe Warriors to cultivate. That meant that their profits would be a lot smaller.

Yisval understood what they were thinking and then said.

"Don't worry. As much as Juri is giving the Spirit Stones to his Warriors, the fact is that he is still a Tribe Leader. Do you really think he wouldn't keep more for himself? If he is giving so much away, you can already imagine just how much more he has with himself there."

Xinken and Kalan's eyes lit up, what Yisval said made a lot of sense.

"Wait, isn't the Zafa Bank their ally? Wouldn't Juri keep all these Spirit Stones in their bank instead?"

Yisval heard that and laughed out loud.

"Would you two really leave all your Spirit Stones in the Zafa bank?"

"Ah!"

They wouldn't. They want to be as close as possible of their own things, so at most, they would keep only half there.

"You are sure that the Zafa Bank will not intervene in this Tribe War, right?"

Yisval nodded once more.

"I already checked, the Zafa Bank will only protect the Workshops, they will not do anything about the Varen Tribe. I can guarantee you that."

"Very well, we are going to gather our warriors. When will the war start?"

Yisval smiled after receiving their agreement.

"In two weeks."
