Death… And Me

Chapter 3076  There We Go

They arrived one of the blood vessels that lead into the brain. However, there seemed to have some kind of Spiritual Energy Barrier... No, it wasnʼt Spiritual Energy.

ʼDivine Energy!ʼ Reanʼs eyes lit up seeing that. However, he quickly felt disappointed. ʼToo bad it is the Charybdisʼ Divine Energy, so it isnʼt compatible with anyone else anymore.ʼ

Uruavis didnʼt know what Rean was thinking, nor did he care. He just turned to the other Charybdis around him. ”This is as far as you all can go. From here onwards, it will be only me and the sacred envoys. Please do your best to support Urugoen as he will be the next contact between you and Mother. Of course, if things turn out for the better, we all might be able to talk to her soon. Now, return to your posts and help Mother.”

Uruashu quickly accepted. ”Yes, Elder Uruavis! We will never forget you.” Finally, they all turned around and left, leaving only Rean, Yuan, and Uruavis behind.

Uruavis didnʼt dwell on it for long and moved to the barrier. His body seemed to swell, and for a moment, Rean felt a hint of Soul Power escaping it. Whatever Uruavis did seemed to interact with the Divine Energy Barrier, causing it to disappear a few seconds later. ”Quick! It will close again in a moment.”

Rean and Yuan immediately dove inside, being followed by Uruavis. As Uruavis mentioned, the Divine Energy Barrier appeared again, separating them from the rest of the Charybdisʼ Body. Uruavis slowly returned to his normal size, although he seemed a lot weaker than before.

”Are you okay, senior Uruavis?” Rean asked back. The Charybdises had been quite polite so far, so Rean quite liked them. ”Iʼm okay,” Uruavis shook his body and tentacles for a moment, trying to regain some of his vigor. ”Alright, come with me. We are almost there.”

Rean and Yuan followed him while Rean saw the environment changing. His Spiritual Sense could easily spread into the walls, which were actually blood vessels and brain. Reanʼs expression suddenly turned serious. ”Senior, it is fine that you brought us here. After all, we have no intention of causing trouble. However, I must warn you. This place is very fragile. If I go all out, I think I could cause irreparable damage to this brain, possibly even destroying it permanently. In the future, you guys better be more careful before bringing anyone here. Donʼt worry, though. I will not use it to threaten you or your mother.”

Uruavis couldnʼt help but laugh. ”Hahaha! You are overestimating yourself. Trust me, if you truly tried to cause problems in this place, you wouldnʼt be alive for long. The same energy that created that barrier outside would destroy you here.”

”Is that so?” Rean nodded, satisfied. ”Then thatʼs good.”

Uruavis was still happy that Rean mentioned that. ”In any case, thanks for the warning, but there is really no need to worry about damaging Motherʼs brain. Oh! Here are are. Just after that turn.”

It goes without saying that Rean and Yuan werenʼt seeing anything. Just like Uruavis, they were using their Spiritual Senses to feel their surroundings. Rean could use a huge amount of Light Element to illuminate a little, but it wouldnʼt be of much use since everything around is the blue blood of the Charybdis. However, after they made the turn Uruavis mentioned, they once again passed by an invisible barrier that kept the blood outside. They were now in a mucous but open space. Rean didnʼt think twice and gathered his Light Element to illuminate the area.

Then, right at the middle of that empty area of the brain, he saw a giant sphere enveloped by countless strange runes he had never seen before. ʼIs that a formation, Sister Orb?ʼ

[No,] Sister Orb quickly answered. [Those runes are not formation runes. Thatʼs for sure. They do give a familiar feeling, though.]

Rean agreed with her. ʼItʼs the Charybdis Bloodline. The feeling from those runes is similar to the feeling we get from the blue blood we have seen so far. It might be some kind of bloodline seal that acts on souls or something like that.ʼ

”Is that the Spiritual prison you mentioned, senior Uruavis?” Rean asked, curious.

”Thatʼs the ones. As you can see, I had to show it to you first since even I canʼt tell what it is exactly. All I know is that Mother canʼt move because of this thing,” Uruavis explained.

”Rean,” Yuan spoke from there. ”It reminds me of Tanaʼs bloodline. It is the same feeling.”

Rean nodded with a smile. ”Yeah, she has a little bit of Charybdis Bloodline, after all.”

Rean approached the sphere. ”Senior Uruavis, is it okay if I touch it?”

”Definitely,” Uruavis didnʼt mind. ”Just be careful. I donʼt know what could happen if you did. Donʼt say I didnʼt warn you.”

Rean didnʼt mind and finally touched the sphere.

*Pin!*

[A clear division between the Werdlem Empire Cultivation Grasp and a form of rejection against it has been found.]

ʼThere we go,ʼ Rean and even Roan, who was watching, expected something like that to happen. The system truly didnʼt send Rean to the Saramina Sea Demon Palace just to get Yuan and Tana together. This was probably its true objective.

[As the hosts are aware, the cultivation energies in the Werdlem Empireʼs Bubble are controlled by the Werdlem Empire Main Universe. If they wish to prevent a Universe from cultivating in their bubble, they can. However, it is not perfect. There are a few key individuals who are not affected by this grasp of cultivation energies and can use them as they wish. The Charybdis Mother is one of such beings.]

[To combat that, the Werdlem Empire created a form of Spiritual Imprisonment that seals the soul of any individual that wanders off the cultivation energiesʼ control after a certain level. The Charybdis Mother, just like many others, had her soul sealed.]

Then, right at the middle of that empty area of the brain, he saw a giant sphere enveloped by countless strange runes he had never seen before. ʼIs that a formation, Sister Orb?ʼ
