Death… And Me

Chapter 1845: Doesnʼt Make Sense

Turen continued, ”That time truly were the best years Iʼve ever had in several millennia. The feeling of experiencing new things, even though they werenʼt really new to my real body. And above all else, meeting your mother and having you three. Just so you know, Iʼve never been married here in the Realm of Gods. Iʼve dedicated my entire life to cultivation, so you could say Iʼve had a pretty lonely life.”

”Yet, Iʼve never expected that the Vruve Organization would appear in Sunkan. At first, I thought they came for me. After all, they were also after the fragments. But later on, after I woke up here in the Realm of Gods with my real body again, I found out that it wasnʼt the case. My investigation pointed out that Vruveʼs experts went to Sunkan to hunt Soul Gem. I found that quite ridiculous since Soul Gem had disappeared a very long time ago. I wasnʼt even born when the events around the Extinction Sphere happened. Why would he suddenly appear there?”

”Yet, here you two are, and you seem to know something about it as well. At least your reaction to me mentioning the Vruve Organization was quite suspicious. Well, you are my kids, so your father will support you as long as you donʼt intend to destroy this universe.”

Rean and Roan sighed after hearing the full story. ”What about mother? Have you found her, dad?”

Turen shook his head, replying, ”I did find a few reincarnations from Sunkan Planet here in the Realm of Gods. To be honest, Iʼm still confused as to why. Why would so many reincarnations appear here? Having their souls reborn in the Realm of Gods is okay. Yet, they all kept their memories or recovered their memories after reaching the Nascent Soul Level. I didnʼt need to think too deeply into it to know that Soul Gem definitely had something to do with it.”

Rean could not help but mention after that, ”We found Rana, dad.”

”What?!” Turen was taken aback with shock! ”Are you telling the truth?! Did you really find your sister?!”

Rean nodded, telling him, ”Yes, she reincarnated in the Realm of Gods, just like the others. Sheʼs now a Fairy living in the Huring Continent. Well, to be more specific, sheʼs a Fairy Queen.”

”I have to bring her away immediately! Where exactly is she? Iʼm leaving right now!” Turen obviously wouldnʼt let the opportunity to get his daughter back escape.

”Sheʼs fine,” Rean added. ”She has her own life now. She isnʼt in danger or anything.”

Turen shook his head, though. ”You donʼt understand. Way too many demons, angels, and Realm of Godsʼ experts want my head. If not because Iʼve prepared a lot, and I mean a lot, I would have never appeared in this place. Although the risks are low, I canʼt allow my enemies to capture my daughter, your sister.”

It was then that Turen noticed something. ”No, wait! Everyone who had reincarnated in the Realm of Gods so far became part of the Spirit Races. There were no exceptions. How come you two are still humans, and with your appearance from back then?”

”Thatʼs because we had never died to start with,” Roan explained. By now, he had already confirmed that the man in front of them was really their father. ”You said that we knew something about Soul Gem, right? Thatʼs correct. We know Soul Gem. It was also thanks to him that we escaped Sunkan unscratched. Unfortunately, by the time we found out the planet was going to be destroyed, we only had a few seconds to act. We did not have the chance to head back to Varen Tribe and take you, mother, and Rana with us.”

”So you really were involved with Soul Gem...” Roanʼs words confirmed Turenʼs suspicions. ”Now that I think about it, your talents and knowledge back when you were kids were just too weird. Such a thing shouldnʼt have been possible, but there you were. My avatar didnʼt know anything. However, after I woke up with my real body, I started to piece things together. First of all, humanoid races shouldnʼt have an affinity with the Light and Dark Element, but you two did. Was it because of Soul Gem too? Do you mind explaining to me what your connection with him exactly is?”

Rean and Roan looked at each other for a moment before nodding. ”Very well, it goes like this...”

The twins then explained everything to Turen. How they, in fact, didnʼt come from this side of the universe but the other. How they acquired their affinity due to the Soul Gem System, or how Soul Gemʼs soul was still hibernating in the Soul Gem System itself. How they kept their memories from their previous lives... they also recounted their adventures so far. The Zasfinsʼ planet, the demon guarding the Realm of Godsʼ portal, their arrival in the Huring Continent, their journey all the way to this place.

Naturally, they also told Turen about their ultimate objective. The fact that they had to acquire all fragments and unite both halves of the universe again. Otherwise, the universe would perish.

”This...” Without a doubt, Turen had never been so shocked in his life. ”The universe was divided in two... and one side doesnʼt even have Spiritual or Divine Energies. I didnʼt know about that at all, and I truly did a lot of investigation on Soul Gemʼs topic. If even I didnʼt know about it, then how many know of it?”

However, he quickly noticed a problem. ”No, that doesnʼt make sense...”

Rean and Roan nodded, having noticed the exact same problem as their father. ”Half of the universe disappeared during the Extinction Sphere event. Itʼs normal that the low-level experts in the Realm of Gods donʼt know about it. However, it seems like father is at the very top of the food chain. Yet, even you didnʼt know that half of the universe disappeared. Is that even possible? How come you know about the events of the Extinction Sphere but not about the half of the universe that disappeared? It truly doesnʼt make sense. It as if...”

Turen nodded, continuing, ”Itʼs as if this knowledge had been purposely wiped out from this side of the universe.”
