Death... and me
chapter-2305

"There is no need to worry about that," said Mia. "First of all, it wasn't like our Dalamu Sect had always been here, nor have the other sects and the Royal Family. We arrived late and built everything from scratch. After we are gone, someone or some power will soon rise into power. That's the natural order of things."

Mia's words were all backed by the other four sects and the Royal Family. Countries are often invaded, and powers are often replaced. The only difference was that no one would be here to prevent the next power from taking control. That was all.

"Very well," Rean nodded. "Gather everyone. I need to leave for an hour or so as I need to check something. Once I'm back, I'll send you all into my Dimensional Realm."

Mia sighed in relief after hearing Rean's words. "Thank you, Rean."

Rean then disappeared from the room without a trace. As he mentioned before, he wanted to see what happened to the space where Cryan previously could be found. Rean dove into the ground and cut through the earth and magma like an arrow, soon reaching the center of the planet.

As soon as he got close to the Pseudo-Dimensional Realm, he noticed a difference. There were many cracks in that Dimension. It was as if the gravity and matter of the planet were squeezing the thing. 'Sure enough, without Cryan as its source, the Pseudo-Dimensional Realm will crumble soon. I wonder if this thing was an unconscious effort of the planet to keep Cryan by its side.'

Rean then entered the Pseudo-Dimensional Realm without much of a worry. In the Mortal Realm, he had no fear against the Spatial Rifts and Storms that could appear after the Dimension broke down. He looked around, not expecting to find anything. Yet, that was not the case. There was indeed something there. "Hum? What is that?"

Rean approached and noticed a very small crystal with no more than a centimeter in size. Just like Cryan himself, Rean could tell that it was made of World Essence and a small quantity of Divine Origin Energy. 'Oh! Cryan had just left, yet the planet was already making another one of those Crystals. Interesting, interesting. Of course, it has just been formed, so there is almost no World Essence. Divine Origin Energy converted from Spiritual Energy is ridiculously slow, so the Divine Origin Energy inside it isn't worth a penny either. It would need millions of years to become something like Cryan.'

Rean continued. 'However, how come other planets don't have this kind of ability? If things continue like this, Sunkan Planet will eventually give birth to another World Essence Crystal like Cryan. The only doubt would be whether it can give birth to an artifact spirit similar to Cryan or not.'

Rean took the crystal in his hand and noticed that the Planet's Force to pull it back to the center was almost nonexistent. 'Well, it makes sense. There is almost no World Essence, so the planet's pulling force is just as small. Nonetheless, this good stuff.'

Rean then focused his mind on the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Specifically, his mind went to check the Solar Essence inside the fake sun there. The Solar Essence was truly just that, a type of energy. It didn't show any signs of crystalizing like the World Essence of Sunkan. 'I wonder if the Crystallization of Essence happens because of this Pseudo-Dimensional Realm...'

After thinking for a while, Rean contacted the Orb. 'Sister Orb, do you think it is possible to move this Pseudo-Dimensional Realm into our Soul Gem Dimensional Realm?'

[Judging by its size, it should be no problem.]

'Really?!' Rean was surprised to hear that. 'Won't it cause some problem like a dimension being inside another dimension and things like this?'

[Are you thinking about such a thing only now?] Sister Orb felt like she was talking to an idiot. [If there was a problem, how come nothing ever happened when people brought Spatial Rings inside our Dimensional Realm? Although extremely low-level, Spatial Rings are still a kind of Dimension. We also had other cultivators and demon beasts with their own Pocket Dimensional Realms coming inside, but there was no issue either.]

Rean scratched the back of his head. Indeed, that was quite an idiotic question. 'I see... Then, I will trouble you to move this Pseudo-Dimensional Realm inside. Send it to the center of the Fake Sun so that it can encompass the Solar Essence being generated there. I wish to see if I can create Solar Essence Crystals.'

[No problem,] said Sister Orb. [Come out first.]

Rean exited the Pseudo-Dimensional Realm after storing that small World Essence Crystal away. Right after, he and Sister Orb focused on the entire area of the Dimension and willed to move it inside the SOul Gem Dimensional Realm. Yet, to their surprise, the Pseudo-Dimensional Realm didn't move at all. It was as if it completely ignored the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm pulling force. 'This... what is happening, Sister Orb?'

Sister Orb was just as lost. [It is quite weird. I can't feel its presence for some reason. Without feeling its presence, there is nothing I can pull. I can see it, but for the system, it seems like it doesn't even exist.]

Rean began to get more and more certain that this Pseudo-Dimensional Realm was the reason why Essence Crystals could be created. Now, he wanted it even more. 'How about you try to pull everything in the area it occupies? Even if you can't feel it, as long as it is part of the area of effect, it should come inside.'

[Alright, let me give it a try.]

Immediately, the magma around the Dimension disappeared without a trace. The magma wasn't the only thing to disappear. The Pseudo-Dimensional Realm also vanished, showing that Sister Orb succeeded. [Hey, would you look at that. It worked!]

The area was immediately covered with magma, but Rean didn't care about it. 'Is it inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm? I can't feel it.'

[I can't either,] said Sister Orb. [Still, it is here. I can see it in front of me.]

'Very well. I'll take a look into it later.' Having accomplished his objective, Rean turned around and left. It was time to fetch everyone.
