Chapter 1846: I’ll Keep It Safe
“Not only this side,” Roan clarified. “As I mentioned before, I was a Death Spirit and had lived for a very long time on the other side. If we talk about age alone, I’m not sure who’s older, you or me. In any case, I’ve never heard anything about the universe being divided in two.”
Turen sighed after that. “Hearing your son say that he’s older than you feels quite weird…”
“Don’t worry, dad. I’m still a normal guy,” Rean quickly added.
Roan wasn’t in the mood for the jokes, though. “Can we return to the main topic? Father, do you think that really no one knows about the two halves of the universe, not even Soul Gem’s Vruve Organization? Well, it’s not his organization anymore since they tried to get rid of him.”
Turen shook his head, replying, “I don’t know. The Vruve Organization is quite untouchable, to be honest. They never intervene in the Underworld, Heaven, and the Realm of Gods. Well, that’s basically because these last three would definitely ally themselves against the Vruve Organization if they tried anything funny. As strong as the Vruve Organization might be, it couldn’t possibly fight everyone alone, so it keeps itself away from the others. Even I would have quite a bit of trouble getting in contact with them. Unless, of course, I show some weakness, and they think they can acquire my fragment. In that case, they would come running.”
“Forget it,” Rean shook his head after that. “It’s obvious that they aren’t the kind of group we should mess with at the moment.”
Turen nodded in agreement. “Exactly. I wouldn’t allow you to go after them either. At least, not with how weak you are. It’s truly impressive. The Peak Stage of the Transition Realm in just a bit more than a hundred years. And you two were even born in the Mortal Realm. Even with Soul Gem System’s help, it’s still a huge achievement. By the way, do you want a Void Shattering Pill? It should allow you to break through to the Void Tempering Realm straight away.”
Adding the extra 20 years of the competition, the twins had now reached 116 years of age. It wasn’t wrong to say they had lived just a bit more than a hundred.
Roan immediately shook his head, telling him, “We’re almost there ourselves. It’s been many years since we reached this level. We could have broken through already, but the war took a lot of our time for cultivation. I would rather keep following our cultivation technique to prevent any mistakes.”
It was true. In the years that followed their breakthrough into the Peak Stage, they would have gotten enough Divine Energy to enter the Void Tempering Realm if they had focused on cultivation. Then again, at least Celis kept cultivating most of the time, which meant that he cultivated for the twins as well. Although a lot more time was necessary, the twins were indeed very close to the Void Tempering Realm.
“However, I would very much like to get the recipe for the Void Shattering Pill if you have it.” Roan didn’t let the opportunity slip by him, of course.
“Here.” Turen then threw a jade slip to Roan in response. “The concoction method can be found inside. I’m not an alchemist, but I have my connections. It’s just that you will have to gather the items for the pill yourself.”
Roan faintly smiled in response. “That’s not a problem at all.”
Rean then raised his hand and asked, “Father, what about mother? Have you found her?”
Turen shook his head, saying, “I haven’t. In fact, I did not put too much effort into it. It’s not that I don’t want to find her. I would pay any price to know where she is. However, if I show too much interest in this particular reincarnation, my enemies will definitely find out. Who knows what the demon, angels, the Realm of Gods, or the Vruve Organization could do if they found out the truth. So far, no one knows that I sent an avatar to live in the Mortal Realm.”
Rean had to admit his father did the right thing. At his level, the kind of dangers he had to experience was not something their mother would be able to cope with. “By the way, you also have another fragment. Is that correct?”
Turen nodded in response. “I do. It’s that fragment that allows me to keep the Temporal Gap open. It’s also this Temporal Gap that keeps me safe. After we finish here, I’m returning to it since I can’t stay too long outside.” Turen then looked at the twins and asked them, “You need it to reunite the two halves of the universe, right?”
The twins nodded. “That’s correct.”
Then again, even though he listened to them, that didn’t mean Turen believed that. Well, to be more specific, he trusted his sons, but not Soul Gem. “Are you sure Soul Gem was telling the truth? As far as I know, he might just be using you two to gather the fragments for him. Only his soul remains, right? Perhaps he needs the fragments to recover or something like that.”
Roan shook his head, saying, “We also thought of the same thing countless times. However, it’s true that the Extinction Sphere damaged the foundation. Also, Soul Gem knew about the split of the universe. I won’t say that I trust him, but I do believe that it’s the best option we have. Well, our lives are also connected to the Soul Gem System, so we don’t exactly have much choice.”
“I see…” Turen wanted to help, but even he didn’t know anything about this system Soul Gem created. “Very well. However, I can’t give you my fragment yet.”
Rean and Roan obviously understood why. “That’s because your fragment will act as a safety measure.”
Turen nodded in agreement. “Exactly. While I have it, no one else will be able to take it from me in the Temporal Gap. I’ll keep it safe until the day you confirm that everything is true and that you can really reunite the universe with Soul Gem’s help.”
Roan was satisfied to hear that. “That’s good. Now then, can we talk a little more about the demons and the angels’ realms?”
