Death... and me
chapter-2621

Meanwhile, on the other half of the Universe...

"Are you really going?" A Death Spirit at the Peak of the Divinity Realm asked the man in front of him.

The man nodded, looking in the direction of the other side of the Universe. "It's long due for me to pay some old acquaintaces a visit. Besides, if everything goes according to the plan..." The man said nothing after that.

He was obviously Kafan, Roan's Master. Just like Roan guessed, part of the deal with Gragatou was to tell him in case the Semi-Celestials really found the Hidden Realm. To make sure that would be the case, Kafan also said he had more information regarding that place, but he would only share it once they met at the Hidden Realm.

Since Kafan's plan to find the Hidden Realm worked, Gragatou and the others considered it was worth using their Semi-Celestial Power to tell him about the other side of the Universe.

Above all, it was the shadow of the other experts from outside the Universe that made them conclude it was better for Kafan to come.

The Death Spirit sighed, knowing Kafan couldn't be stopped. He was the only Semi-Celestial of their race, after all. "Then I shall wait for your good news, Master."

Kafan nodded and immediately gathered Death Energy. Following that, a Death Door opened, connecting it to the Division between the two halves of the Universe. He jumped inside, and before disappearing, he spoke. "Don't forget I will need your help to return. I will use my Semi-Celestial Powers to communicate with you. Don't forget the location."

"Yes!" The Death Spirit quickly accepted the task.

Sometime later, Kafan appeared in front of the chaotic space separating him from the other side. The entire area brimmed with Spatial Laws, Spatial Rifts, Spatial Storms, and even time seemed to be affected by that craziness. Yet, Kafan didn't seem to care at all.

Immediately, the laws of Dark began to change as Kafan used them to merge with his Space Power. He forcefully created a tunnel within that chaos, opening a passage to the other side of the Universe. His altered Dark Element seemed like a wall, protecting the Spatial Tunnel from everything.

This kind of action could only be performed by a Semi-Celestial, and it only worked on this side of the Universe. If a Semi-Celestial tried to open a passage to this side, it wouldn't work. The reason was simple: This side didn't have Divine Energy. The Divine Energy, on the other side, would make it impossible to overcome the Spatial Chaos.

Kafan nodded in satisfaction. Ile could feel a huge amount of Divine Energy coming through that passage, showing it connected to the other side. He quickly entered, traversing the entire distance in just a few seconds. When he finally appeared on the other side, the power of his altered laws finally ran out, and the Spatial Tunnel he opened collapsed. "Sigh... Let's hope it was worth it." Kafan murmured, thinking about the method he intended to use to return.

However, he quickly put those thoughts behind him and couldn't help but feel a little excited. His body acted like a black hole. Divine Energy poured inside at huge speeds, something that only a Semi-Celesital could do. Even Celis would feel somewhat envious of Kafan's absorption speed. "It has been so long... I will need to get used to Divine Energy again," Kafan commented as Divine Energy continued to flow inside his body. "Let's see..." He closed his eyes, trying to sense something. Immediately, he smiled and looked in two different directions.

At the same time, in the Realm of Gods, two middle-aged men were about to enter a Long-Distance Teleport Formation. However, one of them suddenly stopped as his eyes looked to a wall. Yet, it wasn't the wall that the man cared about. Instead, it was the presence that he felt.

Those two middle-aged men were naturally Rean and Roan. Roan knew that Kafan would eventually come to this side of the Universe. However, he was still on the way to meet with Huban. After all, the idea was to ask Huban's help to bring them to the Hidden Realm to meet Kafan. Roan didn't expect Kafan to arrive so fast.

Rean noticed Roan's change and asked. 'What is it?'

'It's Kafan, Roan didn't hide it. 'He is already on this side!

"That fast?!' Rean was taken aback. 'Should we still go meet Huban then? Or would it be better to wait for Kafan?'

Roan shook his head. 'No, let's meet Huban. Master mentioned before that once he used his power to enter this side of the Universe, the other Semi-Celestials would feel his presence. After all, he had to change the laws to achieve that. He will probably get busy for a while, so let's meet him with Huban later.'

Rean nodded. 'Since you say so...

Excluding the Semi-Celestials, Roan wasn't the only one to notice Kafan's arrival. Another Death Spirit, the same one who took Soul Gem away, also looked in the same direction as Roan did a moment ago.

"Seems like the old man Kafan decided to pay a visit," said Rugo, the only Death Spirit to still exist in the cultivation side of the Universe. Well, there were two now that Kafan arrived.

Soul Gem, who was busy working on a few runes, didn't seem to mind. "The Hidden Realm has been found, after all. Like the Chaos Origin Source and the Universe Foundation Fragments, this is another one of their chances to find a way to surpass the Divinity Realm."

Rugo nodded. He was at the Peak of the Divinity Realm, but he hasn't reached the level of a Semi-Celestial yet. "What will you do, Gem? Should we go to the Hidden Realm as well?"

"No," Soul Gem quickly discarded the idea. "Let the others do the exploration. Perhaps they can really find a way to break through into the Celestial Realm. As for me, I need to get ready if things go south."

He then glanced at Rugo. "However, it might be a good chance for you. I have pretty much everything I need for a while. If you want to go, I won't stop you."

Yet, Rugo shook his head. "No need. I'm not so interested in breaking through. Just keep doing what you are doing while I keep watching."

Soul Gem smiled, not surprised by his decision. "Very well."
