Death… And Me Chapter 697 - The Breaking Point

Chapter 697 - The Breaking Point

The twins touched the Soul Gem Orb and went to the authority level options. It was there that they could acquire most of the information and ask questions. However, as soon as they selected that option in the system, they noticed another option on it that didn't exist before.

-The Unification Plan-

"Wait, isn't that the plan the Artifact Spirit talked about in the past before the underground palace disappeared?" Rean asked in surprise.

Roan nodded, responding, "The one and the same. Let's take a look."

The two didn't waste time and immediately selected that option. However, as soon as Rean and Roan did that, their vision went dark as they collapsed on the ground.

"Wake up!"

Not long after, the twins felt like someone was calling them.

"Wake up! Come on, wake up!"

However, it didn't matter what they did. Rean and Roan simply couldn't open their eyes. It was then that they noticed something off as they communicated through their Soul Connection. 'Hey, why do I feel like you are in the same body as me?'

Roan agreed with Rean, replying, 'It's not just a feeling. I think we are in the same body.'

Just as they were about to continue that conversation, they heard a lazy voice coming from their body. "Oh, come on! Can't you see it's too early? Let me sleep some more."

Eventually, light entered their eyes as they noticed themselves lying down on a bed. Whatever the body they were in was doing, it wasn't something they could control. 'We're in the same body, but we aren't the ones controlling it,' Roan said after seeing that.

Rean, of course, noticed that as well. 'We selected the option 'Unification Plan,' so this should be some kind of memory or recording. We're just spectators.'

*Bang!*

Soon after, a woman kicked the door of the room open. "Sleep your head! How can someone with your cultivation even sleep anymore? If you don't get up right now, let's see how I'll kick your a.s.s until you do!"

With that, the man got up, albeit unwilling. "Sigh...have you never slept before in your life? Can't you see how good it feels to simply let go of your worries and let your mind slip away?" The man which Rean and Roan were watching stretched as he looked at the woman in front of him.

"Hmph!" The woman snorted in response. "The last time I slept was when I was still a mortal. Now I have all the time of the Universe to do everything I want, so why would I throw it away with something as useless as sleeping?"

"All-time in the Universe, huh?" Those words somehow made the man's expression slightly change as he murmured, 'If only it was true...'

"Did you say something?"

"Nope. So, what did you come here for?" the man asked right after.

The woman's mouth twitched after hearing that question, responding, "Are you trying to buy a fight with me? You're the top researcher of the Unification Plan, for f.u.c.k's sake. Everyone's waiting for you in the lab, so move your a.s.s already, Gem."

Rean and Roan confirmed their suspicions as soon as they heard that name. 'Sure enough, we're watching Soul Gem's past.'

Gem scratched the back of his head as he walked out of the room. "Fine, fine...I'm heading to the lab. Come on, Fila, we can't let everyone waiting."

"Shameless!" Fila retorted as she followed Gem.

Along the way, many other researchers paid their respects to Gem as he simply waved his hand, not caring about that too much. From the looks of it, the only one who dared to treat Gem so harshly was Fila. Everyone else seemed to be even afraid of saying anything.

Eventually, the two of them stepped on a teleport formation and disappeared with a flash of silver light. The next time they saw something, they were already in a completely different place. It was outer s.p.a.ce, as thousands of cultivators from different races could be seen moving everywhere.

Gem then looked in a certain direction, just to see an enormous sphere of White and Dark Light. From Rean and Roan's perspective, that sphere was who knows how many times bigger than any sun they knew about. That was especially the case for Roan, who had much higher knowledge of the Universe in the other half of the Universe than Rean.

'Just what is that thing?' Rean couldn't help but ask.

'I don't know, but I can guarantee that this Unification Plan has something to do with it,' Roan answered straight away.

That wasn't all. The most impressive thing was that even though the sphere was enormous, the formations around it were even more frightening. It was as if the formations were holding the sphere down, not allowing it to move.

Quite sometime later, a few other researchers approached Gem and Fila. "Gem, all the preparations are almost done. Can you go ahead and check everything?"

Gem nodded, saying, "Alright, let's head to the control orb."

Gem then made his way to the center of a group of formations in the distance. Due to his cultivation, controlling s.p.a.ce wasn't anything difficult, so what seemed thousands of kilometers became nothing more than a single step to him. Obviously, all the other researchers around him were able to do the same.

However, what surprised Rean and Roan at this moment was the so-called orb that Gem mentioned. It was none other than the Soul Gem Orb that they knew so well!

'So this is where Soul Gem created the Soul Gem System, huh?' Roan said through the twins' Soul Connection.

'It seems like it. However, I still don't know what this Unification Plan is about.' Rean was also curious about everything that was happening.

Gem approached the orb and touched it. At that moment, all the formations around the sphere of White and Dark Light shone as streams of Spiritual Energy flowed into it. Following that, the sphere also sent its power back to the formations. It was truly an incredible view.

A few seconds later, Gem took his hands off the orb, announcing, "Seems like everything is fine. We can start the first phase. Initiate the Breaking Point."
