Death… And Me

Chapter 3197: Something Else To Worry About

Using his CD, Zangeshu passed a bunch of information to Reanʼs CD. ”Take a look yourself.” Rean quickly checked his CD, using his Spiritual Sense to go through everything in there faster. In just a few seconds, he took in all the information Zangeshu gathered. He then looked in the skiesʼ direction, narrowing his eyes. ”So much Spiritual Energy...”

Zangeshu nodded. ”It is all coming from outside.”

Through Zangeshuʼs investigation, he managed to find out that the high concentration of Spiritual Energy around the formations was because the Formations were being used to receive Spiritual Energy from other planets. To be more specific, all the seven inhabited planets from the solar system.

”But the Spiritual Energy isnʼt being released in the planet...” Rean concluded on his side based on the information Zangeshu gathered.

Zangeshu agreed with him. ”Indeed. The high concentration of Spiritual Energy around those formations was nothing more than small remnants of spiritual energy that escaped the formation as it stored everything. Yet, these little bits of Spiritual Energy escaping already create such a heavenly cultivation environment for everyone settling around. You can imagine just how ridiculously high the concentration of Spiritual Energy stored in the formations might be.”

Hundreds of formations around the entire Closal Planet, each one several hundred kilometers long. They all have their own protection formations and are being watched nonstop. On top of that, they are receiving Spiritual Energy from the other planets.

Suddenly, a new piece of information was released in the Werdlem Network, creating a commotion outside their hotel window. They quickly looked at the screens outside and returned inside to check their own CDs.

-After reaching an agreement with the other planets of our Solar System, it has been decided that the next Divine Werdlem Stone Contest will be carried with all seven planets at the same time. Obviously, that will also mean seven Divine Werdlem Stones will be at play in seven monthsʼ time.-

-The contest will take place here, in our Closal Planet. The Inquisition Hall of Closal Planet is looking forward to the visit of our Solar System experts. All the action will be transmitted live over the Solar System Werdlem Network to all planets involved.-

-As everyone knows, the formations that will be used in the next contest are already being prepared all over the world. Make sure not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime event. For more information, access the Divine Werdlem Stone Official Website.-

”They are bringing everyone here?” Rifindio asked, curious about the reason. He studied a little about the Mortal Worlds and the Divine Werdlem Stone Contests. It usually never happens outside a planetʼs own borders. Gathering several planets together didnʼt make much sense resources-wise.

Even Kentucky could see where it was going. ”Simply put, they are trying to gather as much Spiritual Energy as possible. What better than Transition Realm Expertsʼ Dantians and Cores, whose owners are eager to win a Divine Werdlem Stone and ascend to the Divine Realm?”

Zangeshu and Rean nodded, having understood the same thing. ”They still think it is related to the Divine Werdlem Stone Contest, though.”

Following that, Rean changed his focus and decided to call Karev. ”Karev, can you tell me if the events of spatial cracks, rifts, etc, increased since they started?”

Karev wasnʼt expecting Rean to call that early, but he checked it nonetheless. -Letʼs see... Yes, they have been progressively increasing since their first appearances four and half years ago.-

”Okay, thank you.” Rean ended the call and pulled out another chart in his CD while Zangeshu and the others watched.

”The Solar System Chart?” Zangeshu asked, curious.

Rean nodded and began to play with it. He looked into all the planetsʼ orbits and their paths to see where they would find themselves when the Divine Werdlem Stone Contest started. Sure enough...

”In seven monthsʼ time, all seven planets will be aligned. Closal Planet just happened to be the last one on the line,” Rean spoke.

Zangeshu, Kentucky, and Rifindio then looked where that alignment pointed at. ”Isnʼt that the place where we came out of that fragile Dimensional Realm?”

”Thatʼs why I opened the solar system chart,” Rean commented. ”Karev confirmed that the events of Spatial issues have been increasing since four and half years ago. We also happen to have escaped that place at the same time these events started. Last but not least, the monument depicted Closal as the main focus of whatever it was trying to demonstrate.”

Rean continued to look at the chart. ”They truly are preparing to gather as much Spiritual Energy as possible.”

”Wait!” Zangeshu quickly took over and used his CD to add the paths of Spiritual Energy and their forms. He visited quite a few of those formations with Rifindioʼs help. As a flying Demon Beast, Rifindio could fly really fast in his form, especially since he was in the Transition Realm.

Soon, the forms of those currents of Spiritual Energy appeared on the chart.

”Is this some kind of cannon?” Kentucky couldnʼt help ask, looking at it.

”It does feel like that, doesnʼt it?” Rifindio commented as well. Taking the sun as the starting point, the forms of spiritual energy truly created the shape of a cannon.

”That explains the Spatial Cracks and everything else happening on the planet,” Rean added. ”The sun has the highest gravity in the Solar System, obviously. So, it also affects space to a certain degree. The Spatial Power is courtesy of the sun, while Spiritual Energy is a gift from all the planets. It is all accumulating here, in Closal. And this cannon, if it really is such a thing, is aiming at that fragile Dimensional Realm.”

Everyone looked at each other. ”Or... it is actually pointing at that Crack where that Cocoon monster appeared, which just so happens to be inside that Dimensional Realm.”

Rean then closed his CD, making the chart disappear. ”Just one more reason for us to get out of here. Letʼs finish everything we have to do and get going.” Even he didnʼt want to extend his time on this planet anymore. As for everyone else who lived here, Rean wasnʼt a saint. He couldnʼt go around saving everyone. He already had a Lisan Universe to worry about.
