Death… And Me Chapter 2902: Wise

Chapter 2902: Wise

Clansto followed Rean with Roan on the back. The families of the other three winners did the same; they all went to Didi's residence. On the way, Rean continued his conversation with Roan through their connection.

'I've been thinking, if you need these stones to cultivate, doesn't that also mean the Werdlem Empire has absolute control over its subordinates?' Rean asked.

'Possibly,' Roan had thought about it too. It wasn't hard to understand. Since the stones were given by Werdlem Empire and only with it you could cultivate, it was possible that Werdlem Empire could cut someone's connection with the world's cultivation energies. That would be the ultimate type of control that prevented any possible insurgences.

'I wonder what we will do if we are cut from the world's cultivation system,' Rean commented. 'This infusion seems fishy as well.'

Roan wasn't as worried, though. 'There is no point thinking about it now. All we need is to have access to Spiritual Energy to cultivate. With our Peak Divinity Realm Souls, we can rise really fast. Even better, if I manage to find the right items, I could concoct Void Shattering Pills.'

Let's not forget Roan was now one of the best, if not the best, alchemist of Lisan Universe. It was quite easy to concoct a Void Shattering Pill with his knowledge. Sure, the lack of the Alchemist Workshop and the equipment inside would cause the pill to be of inferior quality. But it didn't matter. Neither Rean nor Roan needed to worry about side effects since they had been to those realms before.

The main issue of the Void Shattering Pill was the lack of knowledge of the realms prior to it. Those who used such pills would have a hard time matching anyone who got there through their own effort. Chances were they would never be as good, either. That's why Roan never allowed any of his disciples, family, or sect members to use that pill.

If Roan had to point out the greatest disadvantage of the Void Shattering Pill, it was the fact it made the cultivator skip the challenges of the Soul Transformation Realm breakthrough. When a cultivator had to go from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Soul Transformation Realm, cultivation energy wasn't of any importance. It was all about finding one's path. Only after finding that path would the Soul Transformation Realm open for everyone. Skipping this step with the pill was definitely harmful since the cultivator might never find it in the end.

'Right! Void Shattering Pills! I had completely forgotten about those,' Rean quickly got excited. He truly didn't like the idea of cultivating all the way to the Divinity Realm again. Going straight to the Void Tempering Realm was the best choice. Although the twins wouldn't take even a hundredth of the time to do it all again, it still would take years.

'Say...' Rean continued, 'What exactly are we trying to accomplish here at the moment?'

Roan snorted. 'Hmph! Nothing! All we will do is go back to Lisan Universe. The rest matters not. We saved the f.u.c.king Universe, so what else could be asked of us? I don't give a s.h.i.+t about anything else.'

'Good to hear we are on the same page for once,' Rean smiled when he heard that.

In the residence, there was a formation in a separate room. Rean obviously noticed that. 'Different from the rest of the village, which seemed to be stuck in the medieval age, the formations here are quite advanced. I can recognize Convergence Runes and Circuitry Runes, and there are even Runes for signal transmission, although they are very different from the ones I created with the others back in Lisan.'

Didi obviously didn't hear Rean, so he just continued with the procedures. "Who wanna go first? The order doesn't matter."

Rean and Roan had already decided to not be the first anyway, so Rean stepped back. Rean wasn't from this Universe, so there might be some problems when he goes inside. It was better to observe first.

Kalisto, the nine-year-old boy, was the first one to enter the formation. Immediately, the formation activated, absorbing the environment's Spiritual Energy. The Werdlem Stone he was holding suddenly shot from his hand and touched the location where his Dantian would exist in the future.

Kalisto didn't seem to be able to move, but it didn't matter for the process. The stone slowly sank into his skin as both merged perfectly. In the end, just like Clansto, the stone and the boy seemed to be one with each other. It didn't look like the stone was a foreign object at all. Kalisto was finally released. He quickly ran back to his father, who seemed very happy for him.

The next two kids, the two women, went through the same process without any differences. However, Rean and Roan did notice the stones used for the two little girls were slightly different from the stone used by Kalisto. 'Seems like gender matters in these things...' Rean commented.

'Did you see anything wrong?' Roan asked Rean, who knew much more about formations than himself.

However, Rean shook his head. 'Not really. I'll give it a try.'

Rean entered the Formation and then received the Werdlem Stone from Didi. As soon as he touched it...

*Pin!*

[Werdlem Stone acquired. Copying properties. Adding the previously received parameters... complete.]

[Hosts can now discard the stone.]

Rean and Roan immediately felt the Spiritual Energy of the world react to their presence. There was no doubt, they could absorb the Spiritual Energy of the environment if they wanted. As for the stone in Rean's hand, it was useless.

Yet, the formation activated regardless. The stone left Rean's hand, trying to enter his skin like it did with the other kids. However, now that Rean had access to Spiritual Energy, he could block it. 'What do I do? Should I let it fuse with my body?'

Roan pondered a bit. 'It would be a bad thing if others find out you can cultivate without it. Just pay attention if it can cause any harm. If not, let it continue.'

'Alright.' Rean agreed and let the stone sink into his body.

[Foreign connection attempting to access the soul. The signal has been transfered. The host's soul has been protected. Dummy created. Foreign connection attached to the dummy.]

The twins would be lying if they said they didn't expect something like this to happen. 'Sure enough, things aren't that simple.'

It wasn't the first time the system's dummy was used. It could create fake souls to act as the real ones for the twins. The last time they were used was with the soul binding contracts when the twins first got to the realm of the G.o.ds. Another moment was the first Soul Pact with Beelzebub, the one Roan tricked him and kept Beelzebub locked in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm for many more years.

Still, with the system's protection, Rean let the stone enter his body and lodge itself in the same place as the other kids did. He also gathered a little bit of Light Element and isolated it, just in case he needed to remove it at some point. For anyone watching from the outside, the process went smoothly, although it took longer than normal.

"Congratulations," Didi seemed very happy. "You are now warriors capable of cultivating. Make sure to use this power wisely."
