Death... and me
chapter-2993

The twins narrowed their eyes. Simply put, the Werlem Empire noticed something, or maybe everything. It's just that the location from where the Celestial System tried to connect to the Werdlem Empire wasn't found.

"Whatever," Roan threw those thoughts on the back of his mind. "It is not like we intend to stay in the Werdlem Empire for much longer anyway."

Rean agreed completely. "True. Let's just wait for it to end."

As the system continued the attunement, things changed in the Main Universe of the Werdlem Empire.

The Werdlem Empire's Main Universe, or simply Werdlem Universe, did not have a division between Higher Realms and Low Realms. The entire Universe was covered with Divine Energy. There was no such thing as Mortal Realm, Divine Realm, and Angel Realm. Even the underworld didn't exist.

There was a reason for that. The Werdlem Universe didn't have one, but a hundred Chaos Origin Sources working in unison to produce the Divine Energy. That said, the cultivation energies never had the chance to degrade as they got further away from the source. That was also the reason why the division between realms ceased to exist.

At the center of this Universe, a massive land floated in middle space. It was so enormous that even Hyeoumu's Realm of Gods would look like nothing. All cities, countries, and continents were highly advanced. Pretty much any city here holds over a hundred billion citizens, and that wasn't anything worth mentioning. The real big ones easily surpassed the trillion mark. There was one country in particular where the greatest power of the Werdlem Empire resided, the Werdlem Imperial Family. Their home wasn't just a big city, but the entire country itself was fully occupied. In a certain way, you could say the hundreds of thousands of kilometers of this country were a single city.

The main palace, which made the palace in the Sunlight Realm look like nothing but a spec of sand, was the place where the main members of the Werdlem Imperial Family lived. The Werldem Imperial Family has existed for such a long time that their members were already well over the millions.

And that wasn't even counting the Family members who were sent to the thousands of Universes controlled by the Werdlem Empire. There were definitely many more members, direct and indirectly related, who are not in the Werdlem Empire Main Universe.

On a gigantic facility where tens of thousands of cultivators from various races worked, Dalio was working with the information received through his terminal. It was just another normal day for him where every input he did changed the lives of countless beings in various Universes.

Suddenly, a warning appeared on his screen, much to his surprise. "Hum? What is this?"

Dalio quickly opened the details and got confused. "Another system hacked into the cultivation energies database? Was such a thing even possible?"

Nonetheless, Dalio got up and went to see his supervisor, Reviel. A minute later, he and Reviel were looking into the same issue. "Oh... it had been a while since I saw the last one."

"What is this?" Dalio asked, curious.

Reviel shook his head and removed the warning from Dalio's screen. "Nothing for you to worry about. Just go back to your work."

Dalio nodded and resumed his work.

Meanwhile, Reviel narrowed his eyes and immediately left the area. Sometime later, he was at the main building of that facility, talking to his own superior, a woman called Galita. There, a few more cultivators watched the information on a big holographic screen.

"Sigh... they truly don't know when to give up." Galita looked at that, not feeling very concerned.

Her subordinate also looked at the screen. "Another System, uh? Probably a Universe Owner."

Galita nodded. "No doubt. Whatever. Fergou, check the scanning and see where they are. Then send the Foreign Subjugation Squad to get rid of this guy."

Fergou, another of Galita's subordinates, nodded and quickly went through the information. However, he was taken aback after a few seconds. "This..."

The others looked at him, puzzled. "What is it?"

Fergou waved his hand, and the image on his terminal was transferred to the big holograph screen for everyone to see. Immediately, Galita and the others understood Fergou's reaction.

"Impossible to locate?!"

"It must be a mistake. Try again!"

Fergou repeated the process several times, but the same answer was given. "It is not a problem with the system. The system simply can't pinpoint the hacking location."

Galita narrowed her eyes and pondered a bit. "See if you can find the general area."

Fergou accepted the order and began to work. However, it was at this moment that the hacking signal disappeared. "It is gone. All I managed to find was that it came from the outer area of the empire."

The Werdlem Empire had three distinct separations. There was the Core Area where the Main Universe and other equally advanced Universes existed. The Central Area, where you could find even more Universes, just not as powerful as the Universes in the core. Then, you had the Outer Area, which was by far the most numerous. Saying that the hacking signal came from the Outer Area was pretty much the same as saying nothing.

Galita couldn't do anything else. "Send out the message for everyone to keep an eye out for the same issue. If the hacking starts again, they must report immediately so that we can have the time to work on it."

"Yes!" Everyone accepted the orders and went to work.

Galita then laid back on her chair, not paying much attention to it. They were the Werdlem Empire, so it didn't matter that they had invaders. Nothing could take it down. Their grasp of the cultivation energies in all Universes made sure of it. "Perhaps I can have some fun this time..."

Back in the Sunlight Realm, the system finished its work.

[Attunement concluded. All suppression has been lifted. The Celestial Soul System is now fully activated.]
