Death... and me



Roan sighed as he shook his head. "I still think it was too much."

Rean shook his head in response. "We can cope with it. Definitely hurts, but we need that guide."

Of course, it was still all just a pretense.

Werin then changed the topic. "Alright, since we reached a deal, when are we setting off?"

Rean pondered a bit before saying, "Somewhere between 800 and 1200 years from now." The twins wouldn't let Werin and Pulanli go out, which meant they would experience the same time as the twins' group while it was accelerated.

"What?!" Naturally, Werin and Pulanli were shocked by those numbers. "Are you crazy?! Are you going to make us wait that long?!"

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "You two are definitely older than that. Why are you finding it hard to accept? Just sit down and meditate or whatever..."

Werin still complained. "We would do if we could cultivate! But our cultivations are completely sealed. Can you imagine what it means to stay put in a single place for that long, not being able to do anything?!"

It was then that Rean received a message from Sister Orb. [I can let them cultivate if you want. They would still not be able to do anything while inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.]

'Wouldn't that be dangerous? What if you lose sight of them?' Rean asked back through their soul connection.

[That's impossible to happen. I'm one with the system, so regardless if I want it or not, I will always see everything that happens in this place. Besides, even if I allow them to cultivate, I can still lock their Divine Energies inside their bodies. They will be able to cultivate but won't be able to do anything else.]

'Oh! If that's the case, then so be it.' Rean didn't have a reason to refuse that.

He then looked back at Werin and Pulanli before opening his hands.

*Clap!*

"Done. You can cultivate now. If you have any Divine Stones, just take them out of your Pocket Dimensional Realms or Spatial Rings," said Rean.

Werin and Pulanli were taken aback. Rean was right. As soon as Rean clapped his hands, they recovered their ability to cultivate and use Divine Energy around their body. However, they could also tell that their Divine Energy couldn't go anywhere outside of it. "This... just how are you able to control the Divine Energy in this place so well?"

Rean shook his head. "You don't think I'm going to really tell you that, right? Anyway, you can cultivate, so you should have no complaints. I would advise you to not try anything idiotic during this time. Believe me. As long as one is inside my Dimensional Realm, even a Divinity Realm expert will be completely harmless. Of course, you can try if you want but don't blame me for the consequences. I warned you."

Werin and Pulanli definitely felt like giving it a try. Even if they could only use Divine Energy inside their bodies, that still meant they could use their full strength if their techniques didn't require them to release Divine Energy outside. But then again, the same way Rean blocked released their Divine Energy, he most likely could seal it with a single thought. In the end, they decided to lay low for now. "Fine, we will just cultivate."

"Still, once in a while, let us do something else. Who can just cultivate for that long? We will go crazy," Werin still insisted.

Roan nodded. "Alright." Right after, he contacted Sister Orb. 'Sister Orb, open their movement range to reach the areas with Demon Beasts. It shouldn't be a problem with you there, right?'

[No problem at all. If you want, you can literally let them move all around the entire Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. It doesn't really matter where they are.]

Roan was satisfied. 'Just keep them outside of the area with Sesame's village members and the buildings of the Soul Gem System. Of course, don't let them leave the planet as I don't want them to be able to reach the Temporal Barrier or the Sun of our Dimensional Realm.'

[You got it.]

"You are free to move around now. Except for a few areas that will be blocked for you to proceed, you can go anywhere you want," Roan continued. "If you want to spend your time having fun, cultivating, or whatever, it is up to you."

'Is it really okay to let them see the size of our Dimensional Realm? It is quite enormous, remember?' Rean asked Roan through their connection.

Roan didn't seem to mind, though. 'So what if they see it is big? In the end, it is just a Dimensional Realm. It is impossible to pry into the system or even notice it exists with Sister Orb here. Besides, I don't think our Dimensional Realm is as big as cultivators of the Space-Time Realm, for example, let alone Divinity.'

'Well, that's true.' Rean had to admit Roan was right. The size of one Pocket Dimensional Realm wasn't something set in stone. Anyone could expand it as they saw fit. Of course, as long as they had the knowledge and the resources for such.

Werin and Pulanli could only go with that. If anything, they truly wanted to take a look around and investigate their situation. "We will go with that, then."

Kentucky then approached Werin and put his wing over his shoulder. "Now then, how about we talk a little about Minokawas? You know, there are a lot of things I want to understand. Shall we go for a little fly around?"

Werin looked at Pulanli, who nodded back at him. "Up to you. We are trapped anyway."

It wasn't hard to think about what Kentucky wanted to talk. That was obviously his father and mother. Werin was definitely older than him, and the events of the Regal Minokawa from the past definitely caught everyone's attention. Werin was bound to know a lot of things. "Let's go, let's go!"

Rean and Roan didn't intervene and just asked. 'Are you sure you want to talk about your parents with him? He will definitely make the connection between you and the Regal Minokawa from the past.'

Indeed, that was a problem.
