Death... and me
chapter-979

Sister Orb then explained, [Well, to be honest, you can increase the size of its range through the Soul Gem System's reward list. Give it a quick look. It should be showing there now.]

'We can't look into it right now, you know? We need to touch you to get access to the list,' Rean said in response. The twins were in their own halls at the moment, so they obviously couldn't simply disappear from there.

[Oh, that's right. Let me send the list into your minds for now, then. However, you will still need to come to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to buy what you want.]

Soon after, the full list of items of the Soul Gem System appeared in the twins' minds. Of course, they ignored everything that they didn't want to know at the moment and focused on the new item.

[Destiny Perception Range Upgrade Level 1 - 50000 Destiny Points.] (500000 Kilometers at Level 0.)

Rean immediately understood why this upgrade hadn't appeared before. '500000 kilometers, having the two of us as the center. No wonder it didn't appear before. Such a distance was enough to cover the two entire planets, so it made no sense to be there for us to buy. Let alone the fact that it cost 50000 Destiny Points for a single upgrade. It was simply an impossible value when we started using the system.'

Sister Orb confirmed Rean's words. [Exaclty. However, things are different now that you two are in the Realm of Gods. For example, that Huvol City is definitely something around ten thousand kilometers away. You can take that as a comparison since Ukilas Valley spans about three weeks, and it took three weeks for us to pass through.]

'Sister Orb's right,' Roan agreed with Sister Orb. 'That was just the distance between one city and another. Kamos Kingdom alone is probably bigger than one round trip around Sunkan Planet. The 500000-kilometer limit the system has at the moment might be way too little.'

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response, saying, 'Still, we need 50000 Destiny Points to upgrade it. As much as I want to increase the range wherein we can earn Destiny Points, I don't think it's worth buying this upgrade. Not to mention we're still short 4272 points. 50000 Destiny Points takes too long to acquire. Who knows when we'll get a quest that gives a lot of Destiny Points and if we can even complete it.'

[Well, let me tell you this beforehand. Changes made to the Realm of Gods are worth a lot more than in the Realm of Mortals. So expect to get a lot more Destiny Points for smaller changes.] Sister Orb said in response. [However, Rean is right about one thing. 50000 Destiny Points is still a huge amount. You should think twice whether you would want to purchase the Destiny Perception Range Upgrade or not.]

There wasn't much to think, though. Rean and Roan knew that it simply wasn't the right time for that. 'The two of us just arrived in the Realm of Gods. Let alone making Destiny Changes at the level of a kingdom. We can't even make enough of an impact at the level of a city. We will leave the Destiny Perception Range Upgrade for some other time in the future.'

[Alright. In that case, head to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm later. Keeping those points unused won't give you many advantages. Unless, of course, you're planning to keep it stored for the Nascent Soul Revival ability.]

Nascent Soul Revival was still very useful. After all, a Nascent Soul continued to exist and evolve as cultivation increased. It was an ultimate weapon that could break the limits of the twins' power. For those who don't remember, the twins had the option of sacrificing their Nascent Souls for a temporary yet substantial boost in strength.

However, Rean and Roan immediately shook their heads after hearing that. 'Relying on it won't be good for the moment. It's better to keep it for the time when 20000 Destiny Points aren't so hard to obtain. We'll pass by the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm later to use the upgrades.'

It was then that Sister Orb asked, [By the way, what will you do with all this Divine Energy stored in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm core? I can't keep it holding there forever, or the core might become damaged.]

Rean and Roan pondered over it a bit before asking, 'Would using it for cultivation be too much of a waste?'

[Of course not! In the end, you can always rely on the advantage of your cultivation. If you enter the Dimensional Realm with Celis and Kentucky to cultivate together, this amount of Divine Energy might be enough to propel you four to the Middle Stage.]

Rean had to admit it was a tempting option. 'That seems like a good idea. After all, Divine Energy doesn't affect one's foundation even if we cultivate too fast.'

Roan nodded but also saw a problem. 'The issue would be to explain how the hell we went straight to the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm or Middle Stage Six in Kentucky and Celis' cases. That's just way too fast.'

[Can't you simply say that you used the rest of the Divine Stream Lake's energy to cultivate to the limit of the Initial Stage and only now got a breakthrough?] Asked Sister Orb.

However, Rean and Roan shook their heads. 'It still doesn't explain how we broke through together.'

It was then that Rean had an idea. 'Wait, we don't need to break through straight away. All we need to do is relieve the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm's core of all that energy. Let's cultivate to the peak of the Initial Stage and then stop there. Even if some Divine Energy remains in the core, it wouldn't be that much. We can have the breakthrough later.'

Roan had to admit it was a good idea. 'Very well, let's tell Celis and Kentucky later and find an excuse to go to some more private place. Then, we can enter the Dimensional Realm and cultivate.'

Rean smiled in response as he told Roan, 'We can also use that chance to buy the abilities.'

And just like that, their plans were set.
