Chapter 1856: Learning more about the new Dimensional Realm

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. "As long as they all sign the Soul Binding Contracts, I see no issues with letting their kids and partners join the sect. What do you think, Roan?"

Roan nodded, saying, "As long as the terms of the contract stay the same, I also have no problems with it. In any case, we have a lot more space now, and we'll fill it with more members sooner or later. Might as well add them into the sect since they're most likely more loyal already."

*Plat... plat... plat, plat, plat, plat, plat...*

"Hmm?" Rean extended his hand and soon noticed water falling from the skies. After paying closer attention, he noticed that there were many clouds above the System Sect and its surroundings. "Rain? We've never had rain before, no? We didn't even have a sun to start with."

[That's correct.] Sister Orb agreed with Rean. [However, the Dimensional Realm has evolved. Did you forget? It can generate World Essence. That means it's slowly transforming into a real world. Before, the environment wasn't enough to form the existence of weather, but that's not the case anymore. Wait for the clouds to part, and you should see the sun coming out.]

"Sun?! Rean was taken aback to hear that. "What sun? The system can create a sun too?!"

Sister Orb then explained. [Well, not exactly. It's more like a false sun that's being kept together by the system. If it was thrown into the void in space, it would disperse straight away as its structure is far from enough to actually form a true sun. Then again, for a budding world that spans 3000 kilometers on every side, this false sun is more than enough. Of course, it's not raining everywhere. If you move to some other area of the dimensional realm, you should be able to see the blue skies. Errr... not blue, though. The Dimensional Realm hasn't reached this stage yet.]

Rean didn't waste time and used his connection with the Dimensional Realm to teleport all the way to the sea. In the Dimensional Realm, he could appear and disappear literally anywhere he liked, after all. "Oh!" Rean looked at the skies, which were a mix of silver and blue. However, what called his attention was the warm sensation the false sun was radiating. "It does feel like a real sun. The Dimensional Realm is really incredible."

Sister Orb then appeared by his side, and so did Roan and Celis. Roan took the opportunity to ask. "Sister Orb, is that sun inside the Dimensional Realm or just outside the spatial barrier?"

[Obviously, it's being kept outside. As small and fake as it might be, it's still similar to a real sun somewhat. In fact, it does look closer, but don't forget we're inside the fabric of space, separated from the real Realm of Gods. The fact is that this kind of fake sun is very far from the Dimensional Realm. A few tens of thousands of kilometers or so. It'll be brought inside at some point, but that's only when the Dimensional Realm reaches a size where the sun won't burn everything by being dragged inside.]

Roan nodded after hearing that. "I see..."

Celis was more than happy with that as he had seen its arrival during the upgrade. "It gave me quite a scare at first. However, it truly feels great to have the light of a real sun. As you know, in the Realm of Gods, there are daytimes, but not real suns. For a Divine Demon Tree who grew on a planet with a sun, it makes a huge difference to have sunlight again."

"Does that mean you'll cultivate faster?" Rean asked back. After all, if Celis's cultivation became faster, so would Rean, Roan, and Kentucky's as proxies.

Celis nodded, replying, "It will. Of course, it's nothing that impressive. Besides, the Dimensional Realm now has day and night time, so night time will come back to normal. Let's say that I'd be able to absorb Divine Energy around 3 or 4% faster than I usually do in a day. With that being said, don't expect much. Your Absorption Reward from the system list is still better."

"Every little bit can become a river or even an ocean as time passes," Rean replied. "I'm happy it's useful for you."

He then looked at the skies after that. "We have day and night now, huh? I haven't paid attention to it before, but..." Rean then focused on the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm once again. "It seems like the Dimensional Realm is not round yet. However, it is slowly becoming spherical."

[Just so you know, we are not orbiting the fake sun. Things inside the fabric of space aren't the same as it is in the void. The sun and the Dimensional Realm are very much stuck in the same place. However, the Dimensional Realm is indeed slowly rotating, just like a planet. That's why day and night exist. Well, if you looked at the Dimensional Realm from the outside the spatial barrier, it would look quite weird. It's like those crazy Flat Earth shapes back in your previous life. Imagine a coin spinning. That's what the Dimensional Realm looks like from afar at the moment. Of course, as you mentioned, the Dimensional Realm is becoming more and more spherical with each upgrade, so it won't be like this forever. It'll become round at some point.]

Rean nodded. "I understand." Rean then thought about something else. "By the way, Sister Orb, does it mean we'll get more World Essence from now on? I mean, it is a much bigger 'world' now, isn't it?" So far, the World Essence that the Dimensional Realm gathered was barely enough for Rean and Roan's weapon upgrades. It was rare that something remained for anything else.

[But of course! It hasn't increased ten times like the size of the Dimensional Realm. However, its World Essence production should have increased by three times or so. You should have more to use other than just for blacksmithing. Well, you'll need to wait for it to accumulate first, though.]

"That goes without saying," Rean agreed with her.

Roan then decided to head back to the location where the sect usually stayed. "Let's return. We still have Destiny Points to spend."
