Death… And Me

Chapter 1715 She Is Doing Just Fine

Later, Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis were given their own residences to stay in. In fact, Kentucky and Celisʼ residences even had two different parts. One for them to use in their human form and another much bigger part for them to stay in their real form. Then again, they were free to choose whichever.

Philip worked very quickly and swiftly gathered the members of his clan that he could trust. That included both the young and older generations. With that, he called the twins back, expecting them to start the work with their weapon intents.

”Sorry, Roan. Can you take care of it? Iʼm going back to the Dimensional Realm to take a look at the System Sect,” Rean asked.

”Fine. You will be the next one, though.” Roan accepted and left straight away.

With that resolved, Rean entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Obviously, Celis had already settled once again at the center, using the realmʼs and the Divine Stonesʼ energy to cultivate nonstop. Rean ignored that, though, as he went to look for Ophilia, the girl who learned sword intent before he started to take the twelve tests.

”Oh! Hage, itʼs been some time.”

Hage, one of the first people to be recruited to the System Sect and the one responsible for the kids, immediately looked at Rean. ”Ah! You finally decided to show your face again! If not because you could use your connection to this Dimensional Realm to talk to us, we would have thought you had abandoned us here.”

The twelve tests plus the other arrangements prevented both the twins from entering the Dimensional Realm during the last year and something. Naturally, the sect members would notice that long time of absence. ”I explained to everyone about what was happening, didnʼt I? Thatʼs why I couldnʼt let any of you come out either. Donʼt forget that all of you agreed to it until we could finally establish the sect somewhere.”

Hage sighed in response. ”Fine, I wonʼt complain about that. After all, this year has been very good for most of the sect members. Several things very sect-like happened during this time as well.”

”Oh?” Rean became interested as he didnʼt pay attention to the System Sectʼs affairs since a year ago. He only provided the Divine Stones for it to keep running. ”Tell me more.”

Hage nodded and began to walk with Rean. He could tell where he was going. ”Well, first is Ophilia. Youʼre going to see her now, so let me give you the rundown. We followed Roanʼs training schedule strictly and also gave her the necessary resting time. We made sure that all the Divine Stones she used to cultivate were earned through her own efforts during the missions given by the sect.”

Roan didnʼt want anyone in the sect to grow lazy. If they wanted Divine Stones, then they had to work. Mostly, it involved the sectʼs constructions or the demon beast forest outside the sectʼs territory. The cultivators of the sect had to take turns between the sectʼs improvement and battling so that everyone would grow.

Of course, Roan wasnʼt an idiot. He told Celis that the demon beasts there shouldnʼt hold back at all. Anyone taking missions inside the demon beastsʼ territory would truly be at the risk of death, just like any other demon beast area outside the Dimensional Realm. That was how the sect members, although a few deaths occurred, were able to improve a lot during the last year.

Rean and Roan also set the rules for many internal competitions carried out by the elders. Divine Energy, Soul Power, and physical strength, there were often competitions happening regarding these three. Not only that, but Rean also told the side occupation masters to hold their own side occupation competitions. Blacksmithing, Talismans, Formations, it was there.

As for the one overseeing all of that? It was obviously Sister Orb. As long as it was happening in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, she would see it. There was no way anyone could cheat. However, she was also told that her intervention could only be limited. Why? Because Roan wanted the sect to have its own internal struggles. Otherwise, why would he have recruited many cunning and evil members?

That and many other measures were taken to make sure the sect would grow as a whole. Even the eldersʼ positions were part of the competitions, theirs happening once every six months. The sect had quite a few substitutions regarding who would be the elders already. In Hageʼs case, he hadnʼt lost a single one so far. After all, the knowledge and leadership tests were the ones that gave the most points for it. Hage might not have the highest talent, but he was definitely intelligent and experienced. If anything, he was getting better at it each day.

Letʼs not forget that taking part in the classes to learn several subjects was mandatory for every single sect member. There were even formations connected to each classroom, which were connected directly to Sister Orb so she could teach everyone at once. Sure enough, being an AI had its advantages in this kind of scenario. A single person would never be able to do that. At least, the twins definitely couldnʼt at their current level.

”Ophilia had to fight hard during the missions in the demon beast forest to get her Divine Stones. The same happened during the younger generationʼs competitions and sect duties. That girl seems to be living for the sword now.”

”Thatʼs not good.” Rean immediately shook his head after hearing that. ”A kid must also be a kid. I hope you made sure she understood that she should take breaks while training. Play with the other kids, create relationships, and interact with the older ones. All of that and more is also important.” Back in the Varen Tribe, the twins made Malaka go through hellish training, but they never neglected those issues either. They gave her the time she needed to be a kid as well. Thatʼs how she stayed cheerful as she grew into an adult.

Hage, who had his hand on his back, smiled in response, telling him, ”Hehe! Thereʼs no need to worry. Sheʼs doing just fine.”
