Chapter 171 - More Doubts Than Answers

Roan then made the next question.

"Who created the Soul Gem System?"

[Authority Level is too low, request denied.]

Rean was next.

"This thing that I was born with. Is it related to the same thing that created the Soul Gem System?"

[Yes.]

Rean narrowed his eyes. If that was the case, it opens a lot more windows than if it was just coincidence.

"I can think about a few possibilities. For example, I might not be related to my previous life parents. Or maybe I am, but the thing that I was born with was put in there during gestation."

Roan added.

"Or maybe, your parents or even your entire family was involved in this, you just didn't know. Soul Gem System, was anything of what we said correct?"

[Authority Level is too low, request denied.]

Suddenly, Roan had a thought.

"Soul Gem System, was my appearance as Rean's Death Spirit during his previous life just a coincidence? Or was I selected to be there at that moment?"

Roan made this question in a tricky way. If the Soul Gem System said that it was a coincidence, then it was okay. However, there was no way to deny it. That's because whether the Soul Gem System said it wasn't a coincidence or if they don't have enough authority level, both would mean that it wasn't. Denying this answer because of the authority level would mean that there was something hidden about Roan's assignment to Rean back then.

[Host Roan was involved by coincidence.]

Roan sighed in disappointment. Unless the system was lying, that means he was just unlucky to get involved in all of this. How sad was that?

"So it was really nightingale's fault for dragging me down with him..."

Rean's mouth twitched, but he decided to ignore it.

"Roan, you were not the only Death Spirit back in our half of the Universe, right?"

Roan nodded.

"Of course, not. I'm not omnipotent. Just how many deaths there are in an entire half of a Universe? There are countless numbers of Death Spirits."

Rean then made another question.

"That means that there was a particular type of organization or something like that which managed everything, no?"

Roan understood where Rean was coming from.

"I see what you want. Soul Gem System, was the Universal Transition Organization involved in all of this?"

[Yes.]

Roan nodded.

"Very well, I have no more questions."

Rean agreed with him.

"Me neither. Although we got a few answers, the real important questions were not resolved. We can only wait for our authority level to increase."

In the end, Rean and Roan exited the Soul Gem System with a lot more doubts than answers. Still, it was good to see some of them cleared.

Roan then looked at Rean before asking.

"So, what now? Do you think the communication system will give enough Destiny Points by the end of the year?"

Rean nodded.

"Should be. This is a massive issue for a medieval place like this world. As long as the system began to be implemented everywhere, we should see a good stream of Destiny Points flowing in. As for what is the cap for this change, that I don't know. Of course, we might gain more missions that give us even more Destiny Points."

Roan agreed with him.

"That's true."

However, Rean seemed somewhat worried.

"The only issue is that I wasn't planning to introduce something this big anytime soon. This put us at quite some risk."

Roan shrugged his shoulders, though.

"If you didn't do something like this, I would. We couldn't rely on the random missions that might appear or not to do so. Whatever happens now, we need to cope with it. However, I believe that the Sect should keep it a secret that it was your idea, no? It would be pretty much idiotic to say that a kid thought about all of this."

Rean nodded.

"Yes. Sect master already informed the others that it will be said that Elder Hulian had this idea."

"Oh, right! Sect Master wanted to reward me for the idea, so I asked her to take Malaka as her disciple. Like this, Malaka will have the best protection possible, allowing us to keep the promise with her parents. Other than that, I got unlimited access to the Cultivation Tower for both of us. There will be no need for Sect points to enter that place anymore."

Roan pondered a bit and admitted that Rean's idea was the best one.

"That's good. We won't stay here forever, so we needed to deal with Malaka's issue. Anyway, I'm going back to Alchemist Hall. I'm almost done reading everything I need from there. If everything goes okay, I should be able to finish the quest given by the system."

Rean nodded.

"Good. I have Sect duty after tomorrow, and it seems like I was invited to the Sect's Doctors building."

Roan narrowed his eyes.

"Was it because they found out you can heal Umbral Energy?"

Rean shook his head.

"No. Other than you, only Tiria and Javiu know about it. Of course, I can't rule out that they might have told others. However, I don't think they would want everyone to know that I can cure Umbral Energy. Most likely, it is because of what I did during the Sect Entrance Exam. After all, I healed Lenna and Julio several times. They are probably asking me to help heal those kinds of injuries since it would save a lot of time and material."

Rean continued.

"Still, that's a good thing. I had been thinking about a few new uses for Light Element recently. Having a lot of bodies to test things out will help a lot."

Roan couldn't help but ask.

"What new uses?"

Rean smiled.

"You will know the next time we leave for a mission."

Roan didn't seem to mind that Rean didn't answer. He only asked out of curiosity, but he wasn't so curious that he had to know at any cost.

The twins then talked about a few other things before going separated ways.
