Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 2434 Leave It At That

"Ahem, so, why was I called here?" Soul Gem tried to change the topic. "No, wait. Since Kafan is here, then it should be about the time when I asked for his help."

Kafan nodded. "That's correct. Roan wants to know what I had to do with it."

Soul Gem pondered a bit and began to explain. "Back then, when I crossed to this side of the Universe with the system's abilities, I had little information about this side of the Universe. After all, quite some time had passed already since the extinction sphere's events."

Kafan continued from there. "The main issue he found when he got to this side was the lack of cultivation energies like Divine Energy. But he was already here and couldn't go back anymore, afraid of being found by the Vruve."

"Yes," Soul Gem agreed. "I only had a limited amount of Divine Energy stored in the Dimensional Realm. Besides, since I created the system on the other side, I didn't know the impact this side received after the calamity. I truly didn't expect this side of the Universe to have no cultivation energy whatsoever."

"In the end, I had only one choice: contact the only expert I knew wouldn't make a move against me in my weak state. After all, the Soul Gem System without a host was just too vulnerable. I didn't even have the energy to go and meet Kafan, so I had to wait for him to come out of his organization and come take me."Thɪs chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.ɴet

"Of course, I had no idea Kafan had created an organization by that time. After he told me everything that happened on this side of the Universe, I was even afraid he might take revenge on me since the extinction event plans went out of the rails with me in charge. Surprisingly, he didn't seem to hold a grudge."

Kafan shook his head. "I told you before when you came to ask for my help before the events of the extinction sphere. My race was just too small. We were barely scraping by while using myself as their pillar of support. That's why I didn't intervene, as I couldn't buy a fight with either you or your enemies."

"However," Kafan continued, "I knew very well that you were just trying to save this Universe. Our ideals might not match completely, but I could at least respect that much, especially after finding out how the Universe ended up splitting. That was truly hard to fault you. If anything, at least the extinction sphere is no more, so the outcome wasn't that terrible."

"Thank you, senior Kafan," Soul Gem was happy to hear that again. 

Gem then turned to Roan and Sister Orb. "Anyway, I came here and asked Kafan for his help. I purposely made myself detectable. By now, you should have already heard from Kafan that I was someone at the same level as him, so it wasn't that hard to catch his attention. A tiny manipulation of celestial laws, just enough to cause a wave, was enough. After all, Kafan was supposed to be the only one on this side capable of doing such a thing."

"Sure enough, Kafan appeared a few minutes later. He then brought me to his organization, and I explained everything. It was during that time that I told him about the Soul Gem System and its power. I needed a reason for him to help me, after all."

Kafan knew it. "And he sure did give me a reason. The information he sicked was about the souls of this Universe. He wanted to find a compatible soul to attach his system to it. For that, he needed Divine Energy since my race's Death Energy was of no use to him. Yet, this side had none."

"However, I've been living on this side for a long time, haven't I? I might not have much use for Divine Energy now, but I sure did use it a lot when it was present. Don't forget, a death spirit uses Death Energy to cultivate, but that doesn't mean they can't use Divine Energy. In fact, during a fight in the old Universe, we used Divine Energy to fight since Death Energy wasn't as easy to accumulate."

"That said, I still have plenty of Divine Stones that I kept for myself. Hehe! If I had taken these stones out during the time the Living Beings were running out of Divine Energy, I wonder just what kind of wars it would have brought to this side of the Universe."

"Anyway, Soul Gem explained his plan for the Reunification of the Universe. Explained how he needed a soul born on this side to go to the other side and act as a connection between both sides. It goes without saying that my idea to send Roan to the other side appeared in my mind during that conversation."

"Ah!" Soul Gem immediately looked at Kafan. "I knew it! How could a Death Spirit suddenly join the system out of nowhere?! The system almost couldn't handle both souls because of that and nearly collapsed! Senior Kafan, how could you..."

"Hmph!" Kafan didn't seem to mind. "I asked you if it was okay to send a Death Spirit instead of a normal soul, but you were too afraid that the Death Spirit Soul, which was not exactly alive, could turn out to be a problem. You didn't even want to tell me which soul your system chose to attach to. Naturally, I had to move on my own."

Kafan then shrugged his shoulders. "In the end, everything was fine. Look at Roan. He is very well alive and is capable of using this little toy of yours. I heard Roan's entire story so far, so you have to admit that two reincarnating was much better than just one."

"But what if it had gone wrong and the system-"

"Enough!" Kafan stopped Soul Gem. "It didn't, and that's what matters. Leave it at that."
