Death... and me

As the days passed, the people from the Varen Tribe, Dalamu Sect, and Malo's group finished their transformation. Bodily speaking, they didn't truly change. It's just that now they could use Divine Energy to cultivate instead of only Spiritual Energy.

Turen was there as well, looking at all that was happening. He was an exception to the norm. His body was a true body, but at the same time, it was an avatar. It didn't really need to go through that transformation. Even if he had, he wouldn't feel any pain with his real self controlling it. "Hamarlia, hold in there. You can do it!"

"Shut the fuck up!" Hamarlia, the twin's mother, immediately cursed. She had heard those words so many times that she was losing her head already. "Just go somewhere else! Leave me alone!" By now, the pain wasn't as big as it was when she arrived in the Realm of Gods. Still, it was quite bad.

Turen scratched the back of his head and moved away. He soon found Rean, who was sitting somewhere nearby, watching the transformations. "Rean, I can only use this avatar for now since I can't leave the Temporal Path with my real body. Still, I will use this chance to help guide the people here."

Rean nodded. "That's great to hear, dad. I already told them I didn't have the time to help them, so it is good that you can. Who can say they would have the knowledge of a Divinity Realm cultivator to work with? Hehe!"

Turen sat on Rean's side and nodded. "That's true. I just feel like I owe them for all the good times I was able to experience in Sunkan. By the way, have you sent that message about Sunkan to everyone?"

Rean nodded. Rean explained to Qia about the incident and that he would use the communication system to spread the news. Qia didn't mind and even helped him with the new communication system's configuration. Later that day, every single communication badge connected to the servers of the communication System received the message.

Rean didn't know what happened after, but he could guess that Sunkan Planet was bound to be receiving countless visitors by now. With the Realm of Gods' rules regarding the Mortal Realm, Sunkan Plant couldn't be any safer. "Once they all find out that Cryan is gone, Sunkan should regain its tranquility."

Turen nodded before asking something else. "By the way, you seemed to want to tell me something for a while already. What is it?"

Rean bitterly smiled. "Indeed. I wanted to talk to you about my father, not you, but the one from my previous life."

Turen's eyebrow raised a little. "Oh? Considering the time, he is bound to be dead for hundreds if not thousands of years already, no?" Turen knew about Rean and Roan being reincarnations. He even knew about the Soul Gem System and the plan to unify the two sides of the Universe. He was made aware of these things during their first encounter in the Realm of Gods.

Rean shook his head in response. "No, he is very much alive, much to my surprise when I discovered it." Rean then proceeded to explain to Turen everything that had happened in the Floating Island of Time.

Turen narrowed his eyes, not expecting something like that to have happened. "An Archangel, and one that has been alive ever since the Ruins of the Stars first appeared. To think he was the one who got the Ruins of the Stars to become like that..."

Turen then looked at Rean. "Let me guess, you think the reason the system selected you was due to this bloodline connection to Romario, is it?"

"Indeed," Rean didn't deny it. "If you think about it carefully, the Soul Gem System is such a powerful tool. Perhaps it had tried to find countless other souls to attach itself to, but they were simply too weak. When it found me, it noticed that my soul was several times stronger due to my connection to my father. Now that I think about it, I've never been sick ever since I remember myself. Not even a cold."

Turen pondered a bit before asking. "Did you notice anything else? For example, did you have the Angel Race's wings?"

Rean shook his head. "I was truly just a human as far I could see. No wings, no feathers, no special powers. The only difference I had was that the system blocked my emotions, and I didn't fall sick. I wasn't stronger by any means. If anything, my physical scores during school were pretty average."

"That's quite weird," Turen couldn't help but comment. "First of all, such a powerful bloodline of an angel would make the concept of a child between him and a mortal human almost impossible. Yet, here you are. Do you know if perhaps your mother from back then was a strong cultivator? If she was, then I could accept your existence. As long as her cultivation reached a certain level, the bloodline of an angel should have found no barriers to the conception. Of course, as different races, it would still be difficult, but not as hard as the first option."

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "How would I know something like that? If I were to guess, I would say that she didn't. In any case, I was still just a mortal back then. Or at least I think I was. It was impossible to find out whether she was a cultivator or not since I didn't even know cultivation existed. As far as I'm concerned, she might have been a Peak Stage Divine Realm cultivator..."

"It was still worth asking. Perhaps you noticed something that a normal person normally wouldn't be able to do. For example, you said you had never got sick in your previous life. What about your mother?" Turen asked.

Rean immersed in his memories from his past before nodding at Turen. "Indeed. I don't remember her ever getting sick, either. But that might be simply because father gave her some pill of the cultivation world that prevented such things."

Turen shrugged his shoulders. "It might be the same thing for you in your past life."

"True..." Rean agreed.

Ture then suggested. "The best thing you can do now is to check the other side. If I were you, I would pay a visit to the other half of the Universe."

Rean was taken aback. "The other half? But wasn't it supposed to be impossible to travel between the two sides?"

Turen faintly smiled. "It was... However, aren't you, your brother, and your father here?"

Indeed! The Soul Gem System brought their souls to this side. Besides, Romario was here too. "Now the question is... how to do it?"
