Death... and me
chapter-2840

The new ability was in the twins' minds, and they could access it anytime they wanted as if it had always been there. The moment they wished for it, their two bodies seemed to fade away, just to be replaced by a new one identical to themselves but slightly taller.

The first thing Kafan did was to use his Divine Sense and check their cultivation. "Unbelievable... You truly jumped a stage in cultivation just because you merged together. You are obviously in the Initial Stage of the Divinity Realm now."

The twins raised their hand, finding it weird. "It is quite different... We can indeed feel that our cultivation is in the Initial Stage of the Divinity Realm. Both of us have our own thoughts regarding our own things, but when it comes to the use of this body, our thoughts are the same."

Kafan then returned to his Death Spirit Form. "Since that's the case, let's put it to the test."

[Ahem...] Sister Orb intervened. [I don't think you have time for it.]

Suddenly, the three Fragments of the Universe Foundation Pillar shot into the distance, quickly arriving at the Integration Pillar. They entered another three of the spheres of White and Dark Lights before those same lights entered the Integration Pillar.

Everyone then saw another three cracks in the Integration Pillar disappearing. Now, only one Sphere of White and Dark Light remained.

*Pin!*

[Congratulations, Hosts. Three Fragments have been recovered.]

[Reward: 4000000 Destiny Points.]

"Four Million!" Rean couldn't help but get excited. That was truly a lot of points, and he knew why.

"Not yet," Roan obviously knew too. "There is also the three-time bonus for any reward we acquire, which means...

[Reward After Bonus: 12000000 Destiny Points.]

Sure enough, the system added the bonus straight away. However, the system didn't stop there.

[A Werdlem Relic has been detected.]

[Destiny Points Reward: 1000000 Destiny Points.]

[Reward After Bonus: 3000000 Destiny Points.]

[Hidden Quest Initiated: Werdlem Relics have been rarities that few ever managed to put their hands on in all the Great Void. They are actively sought by many, causing uncountable wars that brought entire dynasties to their destruction. The Werdlem Hexahedron is one of such treasures.]

[Objective: Find the origin of the Werdlem Relic and the truth hidden behind it.]

[Reward: Incalculable at this point in time.]

[Time: Unlimited.]

The twins were taken aback and quickly told Kafan and the others about it.

"What?! Is there such a thing?!" Kafan was just as shocked. He never left this Universe, so he obviously never thought the Hexahedron and the Underworld Relic could have such a background story. "This... This is not good. If our treasures are so desirable, won't it bring even more forces to attack our Lisan Universe?"

"Let's calm down first," Roan said as he broke away from Rean again, returning to his own self. "There are too many questions to be answered. First of all, how does the system know about it?"

"That one is easy," Rean answered. "Did you forget? Soul Gem created the system, not to mention Soul Gem came from another Universe, and a pretty strong one it seems. There is nothing wrong with the system he created having knowledge about such things."

Roan had to admit Rean was right. "It makes sense. Then, we can leave that point aside. Master, you should go talk to the other Semi-Celestials, especially the ones that have the Heaven's Gyroscope and the Underworld Relic. Perhaps the enemy doesn't know about it yet." "Hardly," Kafan sighed. "We showed the full power of the Underworld Relic, and so did the Angels with the Heaven's Gyroscope. The only doubt is whether Garisan will come with full force to acquire them."

Luan pondered a bit. "Aren't we trying to become a Vassal Universe? Could the Underworld Relic and the Heaven's Gyroscope be used to fulfill this deal?"

Everyone looked at Luan. "If both treasures are truly that important..."

Rean immediately pulled his communication badge and made a call, connecting everyone aware of that situation and knew about the system. That included Soul Gem in the Realm of Gods.

"Hum? Problems with the Underworld Relic and the Heaven's Gyroscope?" Soul Gem got confused. "What is wrong with them?"

Rean quickly gave Soul Gem an explanation of what the system just said.

"Werdlem Empire?" Soul Gem went through his memories before arriving in Lisan Universe. "Oh, right! I knew I heard about it before. Hum... All I know is that Werdlem was some kind of powerful force in the Great Void a very, very long time ago. As to how strong, I'm not really sure. But it does make sense my Soul Gem System has this information since it had access to my memories. Also, since the System is in direct contact with Destiny itself, it is possible it already knows more than I do regarding this topic." Due to Soul Gem's position, it was already a miracle he even knew about Werdlem's existence at all, but his knowledge was naturally a lot more lacking than Flavio's outside the Universe. (Chapter 2792)

"Now that I heard about it..." Soul Gem pondered, "I think the Living Soul Devils are somewhat related to it too. Sorry, I guess I wasn't of much help here."

The twins didn't mind. "It is fine, Soul Gem. In any case, it seems like the Underworld Relic is also related to this Werdlem Empire, just like the Hexahedron. That's why we called you."

Soul Gem returned to the main topic. "I understand. To be honest, I don't know if it would truly be possible to trade the Relics for our position as a Vassal Universe. However, that is not the issue here."

"Not the issue?" Rean and the others's attention was caught.

Soul Gem shrugged. "Do you think the Devils and Angels would truly trust the words of the Garisan Forces and simply give their Relics away?"

Immediately, Luan's idea was cast aside. "Not in a million years... At least not for now."
