Death... and me

Ormo didn't mind as the twins gave him a lot more information than he expected. "It's fine. You two are still in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm, so let me warn you in advance. The purge of those beyond ten million will start in two years. Try to increase your cultivation since it's easier to be selected for elimination depending on your cultivation."

That was the first time the twins heard that. Wasn't it supposed to be random? Then again, it's not like they had anything to do with the selection criteria. If it eventually came and they still weren't back to their original levels, they could simply hide in the Dimensional Realm until the purge was over. "Thank you for the warning. We will keep that in mind."

Ormo then offered the twins some shelter, saying, "You can do whatever you want. Though, you can also join our Tranquio Sect if you feel like it. I don't know if you noticed already, but the level of cultivators is quite low here. Two Peak Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators are more than welcome."

The twins refused the idea, though. "We won't stick around, so it's better if we don't join. Of course, if Senior Ormo needs our help in the future, you can let us know. Although you guys didn't lose anything by helping us, it still meant a lot since you basically saved our lives."

Ormo nodded, replying, "I'll let Xuve and Glasita know about it since they were the ones who took care of you."

After that, the reunion was finally over. It turned out that the twins were the first ones to be questioned due to the speed of their recovery. The other 38 transformed beings were far from returning to their original form.

Later, Rean and Roan met Xuve, with the latter telling them, "I heard that the elders, especially those from Salt Canyon, were quite happy with your answers. It was definitely worth the time we spent to turn you back into your forms."

Rean didn't mind, telling Xuve, "Give and take, simple as that." He then changed the topic as he asked, "By the way, would you mind if I make a concealing formation in our room? Roan and I would like to have some privacy here."

Xuve didn't mind it either. "Sure. Just make sure you leave a method for us to call you from outside. Otherwise, I would have to barge in if you don't answer."

Rean was happy to hear that, nodding in response. "Thank you."

After exchanging a few more words with the twins, Xuve left them alone.

Rean, of course, didn't waste time and built the concealing formation. The twins wanted to go into the Dimensional Realm as soon as possible to deal with the remaining issues they had. Sometime later, the formation was done, and they finally had the chance to enter.

[Oh, so you're finally here.] Sister Orb knew what they wanted. [Alright, let's start.]

With that, the twins touched the Soul Gem Orb and sent their Divine Sense and Energy inside. Soon after, the rewards list appeared in their minds. Obviously, there was only one thing they were interested in at the moment.

[Nascent Soul Revival - 20000 Destiny Points]

"We have 60357 Destiny Points, counting the extra 50000 we got from helping the Flash Beast come out," Rean said.

"After buying the revival, I want to use 10000 points to get a free pass for Luan." Since Luan was going to follow them everywhere, it was better if they could put him in the Dimensional Realm as well.

Rean agreed with Roan on that point, saying, "Cool. Fortunately, we didn't use the Destiny Points, so we have enough for everything even though we won't receive any upgrades. Anyways, let's start."

[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Pass - 10000 Destiny Points]

[Nascent Soul Revival - Two Times - 40000 Destiny Points]

[Confirm the purchase?]

"Yes!"

[Select the living being within a hundred meters from the hosts' exit point.]

Suddenly, the twins received an image of all the living things that could be found in a hundred-meter radius around them. Surprisingly, that included even insects. Naturally, the twins found Luan in the middle of them and selected the young man.

[Target confirmed. Blood signature acquired. Free pass added for the being called Luan. Hosts are now able to bring that being into the Dimensional Realm at any time.]

Following that, the System switched to the twins' dantians.

[Initiating Nascent Soul Revival...]

Rean and Roan felt like their dantians became warm before they focused their Divine Senses inside. There, they found something that looked like a small fire taking form where their Nascent Souls were located before. Rean's one was white, while Roan's was black. It was nothing but a very small flame, but the twins could feel a presence similar to their Nascent Souls. Unfortunately, the flame didn't change at all after that.

[Process concluded. Nascent Souls revived. Time expected for Nascent Souls to reach previous performance: One year, three months, and thirteen days. Hosts' strength won't surpass the Peak Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm until then.]

The twins couldn't help but sigh after that. However, the one who seemed sadder than anyone else was Celis. "Oh, come on! I've waited five years and a half already. I still need to wait for another year?" Since the twins were in the Dimensional Realm, they didn't need Celis to use Sister Orb to talk to them.

Celis couldn't break through into the Transition Realm until the twins recovered since he was connected to them. Naturally, he wasn't happy. Nevertheless, Rean shrugged his shoulders in response, saying, "I think this is a small price to pay. This is the revival of a Nascent Soul, you know? The fact that it could be completed in such a short time and allows us to recover to our peak state is already heaven-defying enough."

Sister Orb and Roan agreed with Rean. "Rean is right. Besides, your cultivation speed compared to the time you didn't know us is like the difference between an ant and an elephant. You really have no rights to complain about this small pause."

Celis could only sigh after that. "Fine... I'll wait." He then changed the topic, saying, "By the way, with you two being this weak, should I go out with you to protect everyone?"

The twins had to admit it seemed like a good idea.
