Death… And Me

Chapter 1568 Wouldnʼt it be bad?

[Energy Absorption Upgrade Level 5 - 50000 Destiny Points] (It will go to 25% when they buy it, they have 20% at level 4)

[Confirm purchase?]

”Yes!”

Kentucky, Celis, and the twins were affected by the upgrade at the same time, just like last time. The only good thing was that they were all waiting for the pain to come. Thanks to that, they didnʼt look like idiots when the upgrade hit them.

Once that was done, Rean wiped the sweat off his face before saying, ”Phew... so we finally increased our cultivation speed by a quarter, huh?”

Celis shook his head, saying, ”Thatʼs only the case for you two. Kentucky and I were only affected by the last two upgrades that you did, so weʼre both at 10%. Well, not that Iʼm complaining.”

Roan was more interested to see how much the next upgrade would cost, though. ”Perhaps the remaining 70357 points can buy the next level as well.”

[Energy Absorption Upgrade Level 6 - 200000 Destiny Points]

”Forget I said anything.” Roan immediately threw away his ideas after that.

”70k, huh?” Rean couldnʼt help but look at a certain upgrade.

[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade Level 4 - 50000 Destiny Points]

Rean then mentioned, ”I wonʼt lie. Iʼm curious to see what we would get from the Dimensional Realm if we upgrade it.”

Roan was more interested in something else, though. ”I believe the Soul Connection Range is the best choice. At the moment, we have access to the systemʼs perks as long as weʼre within 10000 kilometers of each other. With the next level, this distance would increase by ten times.”

[Soul Connection Range Upgrade level 5 – 50000 Destiny Points] (100000km)

Rean still preferred the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade, though. ”Itʼs extremely rare for us to go further away from each other than 10000 kilometers. I still think Dimensional Realm Upgrade is the best one as Soul Connection Range wonʼt really add anything.”

In the end, the twins couldnʼt make a decision, so they decided to ask the others.

[I definitely prefer Soul Connection Range.] Sister Orb, as the Systemʼs AI, immediately selected the Soul Connection Range since it would make things easier for her to act.

Celis, on the other hand... ”I vote for the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade.” He spent most of his time cultivating in the Dimensional Realm. Besides, the new upgrade might give some extra cultivation speed to him in some form.

Luan was still in his statue form, so he couldnʼt vote. At least, due to Sister Orb pouring Divine Water on his body, it was obvious that he would be able to think again soon. Several parts of his skin were already back to normal.

In the end, the only one remaining who could vote was Kentucky. Since each upgrade got two votes, he would be the one to make the final decision. ”Hmm... both of the choices seem very good. Rean wasnʼt completely right about the Soul Connection Range not adding anything. You can still travel almost 100000 kilometers from each other and teleport straight back through the Dimensional Realm. Thatʼs a very good thing.”

He continued, ”On the other hand, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm usually gives something very good when itʼs upgraded. I have to say, itʼs a tough choice. With that being said, I guess Iʼll leave it up to luck.”

Kentucky then took a coin out. They had quite a lot of those for times when paying with spirit stones was way too much. ”Iʼll throw a coin, and whatever it falls on, the other side wonʼt complain. Is that okay with all of you?”

Everyone nodded as they couldnʼt deny the other partʼs words.

”Good! Then letʼs go outside since Sister Orb, Rean, or Roan could totally use their control over the Dimensional Realm to influence the result.” Kentucky really wanted to leave it to luck.

Outside, he covered his surroundings with Divine Energy so that no one could touch the coin. ”Soul Connection Range on heads. Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade on tails. There we go!” He then blew the coin with his wings so that he also couldnʼt know exactly how it would fall.

Eventually, the coin fell to the ground and ended up on tails. ”Well, Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade it is.”

Roan sighed but accepted the result. He had his Divine Sense on the coin all the time, so he knew there were no tricks involved. ”Letʼs head back inside.”

Without wasting time, the twins touched the Soul Gem Orb and selected the next option.

[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade Level 4 - 50000 Destiny Points]

[Confirm Purchase?]

”Y-”

”Wait!”

Suddenly, Celis called their attention and asked, ”Can we stay in the Dimensional Realm during the upgrade? I just saw you guys couldnʼt enter the side-occupation workshops while they were changing. If we get forced outside, wonʼt the altar come outside as well?”

Immediately, everyone looked at Sister Orb after that.

[Oh! Good point. Alright, Iʼll need you guys to go out. As for the altar guy and Luan, Iʼll protect them from the Dimensional Realmʼs transformation. Since they canʼt see anything, there wonʼt be a problem.]

Naturally, the twinsʼ group had no issues with that. ”Good! Letʼs continue.”

[Confirm purchase?]

”Yes!”

[Purchase confirmed. Initializing upgrade...]

Immediately, the twins, Celis, and Kentucky were sent outside. As for the altar and Luan, they couldnʼt see anything of what was happening inside, so they were left in there. One was sealed in a chamber while the other was a statue, after all.

It was then that the systemʼs voice echoed in the twinsʼ minds.

[Upgrade time: 336 hours]

”Thatʼs gonna take quite some time,” Celis didnʼt expect it to take that long.

Roan shook his head, though. ”Itʼs just two weeks. Nothing much compared to all the free time we have.”

Rean couldnʼt help but bitterly smile in response. ”However, our cultivations are coming back to normal way before then, you know? I also left the chamber with the teleport formation in there.”

Sure enough, those words took Roan, Celis, and Kentuckyʼs attention. ”Wouldnʼt it be bad if the others saw that our cultivation went back to the peak of the Elemental Transformation Realm out of nowhere?”
