Death… And Me Chapter 1533 - Foundation

Chapter 1533 - Foundation

Naturally, Himatikia was happy to hear that. "Great! In that case, I'll bring you two there. Of course, I heard about your Demon Bird and the young boy. I don't mind bringing them together as well."

Rean felt like laughing once he heard that. Those same guys she was talking about were in the Dimensional Realm at the moment, so there wasn't really any Demon Bird or young boy for Himatikia to carry. "It's fine, senior. We will deal with it ourselves. In fact, we prefer it that way. So, when do you intend to go?"

Himatikia didn't mind it either. Since they didn't want her to bring the others, she wouldn't insist. "To be honest, I have no reason to stay here. I didn't even want to come to start with. If it wasn't for the fact that I had to be a judge, I would have stayed in our headquarters until now. Are you ready to go now?"

Rean and Roan looked at Celis, who nodded at them in response. Seeing that they also had nothing else to do in this place, they decided to head out with Himatikia straight away. "We can go now."

Himatikia didn't waste time and used her Divine Energy to grab the twins and Celis. Following that, she left the room and went to see the Sect Master of the Tranquio Sect. Well, that was more because Rean wanted to bid farewell and let them know they wouldn't be joining the Tranquio Sect either.

Of course, Ormo couldn't help but feel sad about that. With the twins there, he most likely would have a guaranteed win for every Core and Soul Fusion Realm challenge. "I see... so you won't be able to fight for any other power anymore. I would be lying if I said I didn't mind, but I guess the purging organization has its reasons. In any case, thank you for the help this time around. We definitely won because of you two."

Rean and Roan nodded once they heard that. Ormo then asked if they wanted to stay for the banquet, but the twins refused, saying they didn't have an interest in it. Only after that did Himatikia take flight again and leave the Tranquio Sect with the twins' group and a few other elders.

"You will like it there. Because of our role in the Upside Down World, we have access to a lot of resources. It's also because we're prohibited from intervening directly and must remain neutral at all times that we have the most freedom. Divine Stones aren't plenty, but there are a few every now and then," Himatikia said.

Rean couldn't help but ask, "Will we need to take part in that so-called purging every one hundred years? I'll be honest with you. I can't force myself to kill others like what's expected of your organization."

Himatikia narrowed her eyes in response, saying, "You do know that it's the purging that prevents this place from going nuts, right? If we don't control the population, this Upside Down World will eventually collapse."

Rean nodded, replying, "I know that. However, I still can't go around killing innocent people, even if they were chosen randomly."

Himatikia didn't insist, though. "Well, it's a rare thing that we're the ones asking you to join our side, so perhaps there can be an exception for you. However, you better not try to get in the way of others. Even if you're part of our organization, you will be immediately executed if you stop anyone from doing their jobs. Even I wouldn't be an exception in this case."

Rean could only nod for a moment. Though, he decided that he would definitely try to bring the people of the Upside-Down World out to end this purging thing.

Roan didn't care about any of that, though. Once Rean finished his questions about the organization, he decided to go back to the main topic while they flew. 'Now then, there's a good chance that the reason we need to stop everyone from leaving is that it might break this place.'

Rean knew where Roan was coming from. 'The Upside Down World is connected to 33 places in the Pol Continent. All of them had the Salt Sweep phenomenon, while the statues were brought to this place by the natural formations. It pretty much meant that this place was very important to the entire Pol Continent in some way.'

Roan nodded, saying, 'Correct. Since we're at it, we might as well try to discover what's so important about this place that we must prevent it from being destroyed. Of course, we still don't know if the method used for escaping is really going to break this place. For example, perhaps this place needs its cultivators and demon beasts so that it can work properly.'

'Do you mean fuel?' Celis, who was also partic.i.p.ating in the conversation, asked.

'Yes,' Roan replied in agreement. 'The Divine Energy of the cultivators themselves might be partially used by this Upside Down World. If they escape, this world might collapse or simply stop working on whatever its existence is meant to be doing. We still don't know if it's a Dimensional Realm, after all.'

Rean pondered over it for a bit before asking Sister Orb, 'Sister Orb, do continents have foundations? Like the foundation of the universe which we have a fragment of?'

Roan and Celis looked at Rean in surprise as they became very curious about Sister Orb's answer.

[Where did you get this idea from?]

Rean then explained, 'Well, this is a tube-like world, right? It moves in a straight line on both sides. Don't you think it looks like a pillar?'

[That's quite perceptive of you. Unfortunately for you, I have no idea.]

Rean quite expected that answer already. 'Is it because this is restricted information from the system?'

[Not really. The system is not preventing me from talking about it at all. It's just that I don't know. Of course, I can't guarantee that the system, or Soul Gem for that matter, doesn't know about it. Perhaps the system will give you more information in the future.]

Rean nodded after hearing that. 'Alright, I'll keep this idea in mind.'
