Death… And Me

Chapter 2582  Pretend I Didnʼt Say Anything

Finally, he looked at Huban, shocked. ”Holy shit! If that explosion happened here or outside, I think hundreds if not thousands of kilometers would have been pulverized by it.”

”I destroyed it, after all,” Huban mentioned. ”Only by altering the laws and making them go completely out of control could I generate enough power to eliminate the Extinction Sphereʼs Energy. Thatʼs the kind of energy we were dealing with. Sigh... I will need at least a few thousand years to comprehend the laws I forgot now.”

Soon, another Essence Race member entered the room. It was Joju, who was waiting outside initially. ”Master! I felt the change in the laws! Did something happen?”

Huban then began to move outside. ”Itʼs fine. I just finished my business here. Joju, call Trulo and Landeau. I need all of you in my chamber. I lost quite a bit of my comprehension towards the laws, so I will need you three to accelerate time around me for a while.”

”This...” Joju was at a loss. Huban hasnʼt done something like that for a long, long time. ”Master, this sudden display of power will probably catch the attention of the other Semi-Celestials. They will definitely come to look at what happened.”

Huban didnʼt seem to mind. ”Let them come. It matters not anymore. My job in this place is finally done. Now, do what I said and go call those two. Meet me in my chamber as soon as possible.”

Joju could only accept in the end. ”Yes, master.”

Rean watched as those two Essence Race experts left, seemingly to completely ignore that Universe Foundation Fragment that remained behind. After Huban extracted the Extinction Sphereʼs Energy of the Fragment, all the machines were turned off. Naturally, the Fragment reverted to its physical form.

ʼSister Orb, check it. Make sure there isnʼt any trace of the Extinction Sphereʼs energy left in the Fragment,ʼ Rean asked through their connection.

[Iʼm already on it.] Sister Orb was making a thorough check. Usually, such things she finished in an instant, but even she was afraid of missing anything, so she took several minutes, going over and over the same procedures hundreds of times. Only then did she get enough confidence to confirm. [Yes, it is absolutely certain. The Extinction Sphereʼs Energy has been removed.]

Rean smiled in response. ”Then you know what to do.”

*Zush, zush!*

Roan and Luan quickly appeared, having heard about the success. ”Open the Dimensional Realm, Sister Orb.”

Immediately, a tunnel connecting the outside world to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm appeared. The Fragment outside obviously noticed the presence of the Fragments inside, and so happened vice versa. *Zum!*

It goes without saying that the pulling force of the Fragment inside was several times bigger than the one outside, so the Fragment Rean worked on until now shot like a bullet into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Sister Orb quickly closed the entrance, turning her attention to the Fragments.

*Bang!*

Both Fragments slammed into each other. Following that, they changed into a black-and-white liquid before once again assuming a more robust Fragment form. Finally, it calmed down and was sealed in the core of the Planet by Sister Orb so that its power wouldnʼt affect the Dimensional Realm itself.

”So we got one more, it seems,” Roan commented, watching the Fragment in the center of the planet with his senses. Rean, who had already sent the Blacksmith Workshop back inside, nodded, and so did all the experts who helped him with the work. ”Indeed. We are truly getting very close to our final objective. Perhaps fixing the Universe Foundation is truly possible.”

Turen then appeared there, having been called by the twins. Of course, this was his avatar. ”Including the Fragment I have in my Dimensional Realm into the Temporal Path, you now have ten of them in total. There are only another four to go.”

Rean pondered a bit after hearing that, so he looked at Turen. ”Father, tell me the truth. Are you really just a Peak Stage Divinity Realm expert?”

Everyone looked at Turen, surprised... except for Roan. He seemed to want to ask the same question.

Turen scratched the back of his head. ”Of course, Iʼm a Peak Stage Divinity Realm expert. No one has ever surpassed this Realm.”

Rean shook his head. ”You know thatʼs not what Iʼm talking about.”

Finally, Turen sighed and nodded. ”Fine, I was planning to let you know sooner or later anyway. Indeed, Iʼm also what you could consider a Semi-Celestial. So... how did you find out?”

”The fact you have been safe in that Dimensional Realm inside the Temporal Path,” Roan was the one to answer. ”After we learned about the existence of Semi-Celestials, it became weirder and weirder that they didnʼt pay you a visit to that place. I donʼt think the Temporal Pathʼs chaotic environment is enough to prevent them from coming after you.”

Rean nodded. ”Indeed. Especially since Semi-Celestials are allowed to make a move if the target is another Semi-Celestial. You said you were pursued in the past and had to create this Dimensional Realm in the Temporal Path. Only Semi-Celestials could pose any threat to you. Besides, Roan and I know that Universe Foundation Fragments are one of the very few things in this Universe that can make a Semi-Celestial come out of their seclusion.”

”So it became that obvious, uh?” Turen shrugged his shoulder. ”Well, thatʼs the truth. Iʼm indeed a Semi-Celestial. What, do you think Iʼm using you to collect the Fragments for me?”

”No,” Rean and Roan immediately shook their heads. ”That much we are certain you would never do. We just donʼt know the reason to keep it a secret until now or even longer if we had nod deduced it.”

”Oh...” Turen understood. ”It is actually quite a simple reason. The same reason this Sister Orb of yours almost never talked about the higher realms before you actually got close to it. Knowing too much might have been detrimental to your cultivation, so I thought you would do better if you simply focused on what you were doing for the moment.”

[That much, I completely agree.] Sister Orbʼs impression of Turen immediately skyrocketed. Being commended wasnʼt exactly a common occurrence when dealing with the twins.

Roan glanced at Turen for a moment and nodded. ”Alright. As someone who has trained quite a few disciples and whatever, I agree this was the best option.” He then faintly smiled. ”In any case, it is quite good to know I have a Semi-Celestial I can use in the future.”

”Use...?” Turen felt helpless. ”Is that how you talk to your father?”

”You mean, the liar who fooled Mom for decades? That father?” Roan retorted with a snort.

”Ouch...” Poor Turen was hit right where it hurts. ”Pretend I didnʼt say anything.
