Death… And Me

Chapter 1904 The Hallsʼ Improvements

Leonardoʼs smile quickly disappeared as it changed into a serious expression. ”Donʼt worry, Sect Master. What you and Sect Master Roan taught me wonʼt be used like that. Ever since you rescued me from that miserable life, Iʼve decided to use my power for the sect only.”

Rean shook his head, though. ”No need to do that. Itʼll be enough if you simply donʼt betray us in the future.”

Rean finally decided to leave after that. ”Alright, Iʼm off to the Formation Hall.”

It was then that he remembered something. ”Oh, right! The fact that all the sect members have to struggle in the Nascent Soul Realm is because we canʼt use Void Shattering Pills. Roan obtained the recipe, and it allows anyone who swallowed it to easily reach the Void Tempering Realm. Unfortunately, anyone living in our Dimensional Realm has to be at least one entire cultivation realm below us. Since Roan and I just reached the Initial Stage of the Void Tempering Realm, we wonʼt be able to use it for a while.” Of course, there was the Soul Gemʼs 20000 Destiny Points option to allow someone to break that rule. However, there was no way the twins would use it for everyone.

”Itʼs fine.” Ophilia didnʼt care. ”I intend to cultivate faster now that Iʼve passed that phase. You told us before, didnʼt you? Your dantians need a lot more Divine Energy than most, so I can definitely catch up. Once you reach the Initial Stage of the Space Bending Realm, Iʼll definitely be ready for the Void Tempering Realm.”

”A cultivation and sword freak as always,” a voice suddenly appeared. It was none other than Luan. ”Uncle Rean, you better look out for her. Even I donʼt know if I can stay ahead. Hahaha!”

Luan then patted the girlʼs head, much to her irritation. ”Stop it! You arenʼt that much older than me.”

Rean laughed as well. ”Well, being older is being older. Alright, Iʼm leaving now. Luan is Roanʼs problem, not mine.”

Sometime later, in the Formation Hall, Rean met with Havek for the first time in several months. There wasnʼt any other choice since he was the one traveling. ”How are things?”

Havek glanced at Rean with a slightly unhappy expression. ”Almost half a year outside. How do you expect us to fix the bugs in the Communication System if you keep spending most of your time out?”

Rean wasnʼt that concerned, though. ”We have you, donʼt we? Why would I have to worry about that?”

”Thatʼs true,” Havekʼs mood immediately improved when he heard that. Nothing worked better on this guy than inflating his ego.

”So, what are you working on now?” Rean then went back to the main topic.

”The overflow of information bugs,” Havek answered. ”Many times, we lost information because there were too many messages going through. Do you remember? We had to issue an order to only use the communication system for war-related things because most of the time, it was used for normal conversations. The crystals used to save information couldnʼt keep so many at the same time in the queue, which resulted in the loss of information.”

”I see where youʼre coming from,” Rean answered. ”Youʼre trying to improve the code to reduce the size of the information and, at the same time, increase the memory crystalʼs capabilities.”

”Pretty much.” Havek didnʼt deny that.

Rean pondered over it for a bit before asking, ”Did you try to use bigger-sized memory crystals in the simulator of the Circuitry Formation Repository?”

Havek nodded, telling him, ”That was one of the first ideas I used. The crystals did indeed save more information. However, I noticed a problem. For example, a crystal thatʼs double the size doesnʼt mean twice the amount of information stored. Thatʼs because the parts of the memory crystal that have to be read need more Divine Energy to generate the electrical currents necessary to make the recording. The bigger the memory crystal, the more apparent this problem becomes.”

Havek continued, ”For the System Sect in the Dimensional Realm, the memory crystals we have are more than enough. However, when the system starts to encompass several cities, that becomes a problem. Thatʼs why Iʼm trying to improve the code where the information is recorded as well.”

”Another issue is that the Divine Energy in the environment we use to generate the electrical current isnʼt enough when the memory crystal increases in size. As I mentioned, the bigger the crystal, the more Divine Energy we need. Depending on the location, we might need to reduce the size of the crystal instead. Unless, of course, we compensate for it with Divine Stones, but thatʼs just too wasteful.”

The memory crystals were something invented by a sect back in the Sunkan Planet. Later, when Rean reached the Realm of Gods, he had to use new materials to recreate that crystal. However, they had never been the same again. ”Hmm... I guess we need to create a new memory crystal. Iʼve been planning to change its shape for easier access to information. Letʼs first take a look at what youʼve done so far, and then Iʼll show you my ideas. Iʼm sure we can reach a solution if we combine both.”

”Suits me just fine.” Havek was obviously happy to be able to work on his Circuitry Formations.

Rean worked with Havek for several days until finally, Havek let him go. ”Hmm... letʼs take a look at the Blacksmith Hall now.”

The Blacksmith Hall was also mainly run by other cultivators. Rean only came by when he had to teach them more about the forging process of higher-level equipment. As his cultivation increased, so did the blacksmiths. That meant they could advance their forging as well. Jayo was still the one who commanded it while Rean wasnʼt there.

”Jayo, how are the Circuitry Forging equipment we created for the hall?” Rean asked Jayo when he got there.

”Itʼs truly a sad thing,” Jayo answered. ”We participated in an entire continental war, but we could never bring out our Element Gathering weapons. That would have been a real good test for our blacksmiths. Other than that, the forging equipment is working just fine.”

Rean nodded in response. ”Thatʼs good. Once we grow strong enough to not care about showing the weapons anymore, youʼll have your chance. For now, let me take a look at everyoneʼs improvement, including yours.”

Jayo nodded with a smile. ”Right away.”
