Death… And Me

Chapter 2055 Another Plane

?

Sister Orb hesitated a bit but decided to tell them. [Well... I don't know why, but it seems the previous me didn't seal this one specific memory and the things related to it. It's a place that only I knew the existence of as it was of great importance even for the Universe's Foundation itself.]

Everyone's attention was grabbed at that moment before she continued. [I called it the Chaos Origin Source. As you know, Divine Origin Energy is necessary to cultivate past the Space Bending Realm, right? You need to convert normal Divine Energy to get it. Well, why do you think Divine Energy became like that?]

Roan pondered for a moment and gave it a shot. "From what you said, Divine Energy is probably born or created in this Chaos Origin Source location. But as it comes out and spreads through the Universe, it loses its effect somehow, becoming those lower types of energy force. Is it a flaw of the Universe?"

[It's not a flaw,] Sister Orb immediately denied. [It was a natural occurrence that allowed life to be born in the Universe. You see, the Chaos Origin Source is extremely rich in Divine Origin Energy. However, it is mixed with all the elements and the elements themselves can't be distinguished in the middle.]

[Let me ask you a question. You know that Divine Origin Energy is necessary for you to cultivate a higher realm, but do you think it is a good type of energy for life?]

Rean was the first to shake his head. "It's too powerful. I understood it when I began to convert it from Divine Energy. Thanks to our bodies, Roan and I could have sustained this type of energy one or two realms prior. However, it makes sense that only the Space Bending Realm being can convert it. Their bodies and souls wouldn't be strong enough to resist this force."

Sister Orb would have smiled if she wasn't an Orb. [Good! That's exactly the point. It's thanks to this loss in power that living beings can come into form. It also has its variants, Divine Energy being one of them. Here in the Underworld, you have Devilish Energy. In Heaven, you have Angelic Energy. Of course, it's not like one is evil and the other is good. It's just a name that you all gave to each variant of the Divine Origin Energy.]

Celis understood. "Be it Devilish Energy, Angelic Energy, or Divine Energy, we all began to convert those energies into Divine Origin Energy after we reached the Space Bending Realm. After all, they came from the same source. That's what I've been doing in both realms so far, and I didn't see a difference in the end result."

[Yeap, that's correct. Anyway, going into the Mortal Realm, the Divine Origin Energy loses even more of its power, becoming nothing more than Spiritual Energy. It's so weak that one cannot cultivate past the Transition Realm with it. Nonetheless, the Mortal Realm has countless more living beings than the Realm of Gods, Angel Realm, and Underworld. It is because the energy is very gentle, so life thrives there.]

[Of course, I'm not counting the dead souls that arrive at the Underworld. In that case, they come from literally everywhere but are sent back once the reincarnation process starts.]

"That also explains why everyone born in the Realm of Gods is already at the Foundation Realm," Gem added. He already considered such things in the past, and everyone in the Vruve Organization understood it. "To be honest, pretty much all the top experts of the Realm of Gods, Underworld, and Angel Realm thought about this possibility. That our cultivation energies come from somewhere, a source. It's just that no one was ever able to find it before."

He then looked at Sister Orb. "They were quite a few that also believed that the secret to cultivating beyond the Divinity Realm could be found in this so-called source. Still, since it was never found, most shifted their attention to the Foundation Pillar of the Universe. After all, they all know where it is even though no one can get close to it. It is a lot better than a flitting idea of a source that no one could prove the existence."

[Well, whether you could cultivate beyond the Divinity Realm or not, I don't know. However, the source does exist, and it is full of Divine Origin Energy. It makes any rank of Divine Stones look nothing more than trash. I'm talking about it because you asked if there wasn't anything I could help with at all. I just so happen to know where this source is located.]

How could they not know what that meant? Their cultivation speed would skyrocket if they could access that place. It is already ridiculously fast compared to others due to the system. Once they got there, no conversion would be needed anymore. Just how good would it be?

"Where is it then? Can we access this place, this Chaos Origin Source?" Celis, obviously, was the most excited one.

[You can... and you can not. That's because the Chaos Origin Source is not exactly a location. No, that's not correct. It is a location, but not a location that you can perceive even though you are there.] Everyone got puzzled when they heard that. Still, they knew Sister Orb would continue to explain, so they just waited. [The Chaos Origin Source is a different plane of existence that overlaps itself with the Universe Foundation Pillar's location.]

"A different plane? You mean a Dimensional Realm?" Luan asked that, but he didn't think he was right.

Sister Orb confirmed his suspicions. [No, that's different. A Dimensional Realm is still part of the same plane. So much so that everyone can enter and leave Dimensional Realms all the time. It's to the point that Pocket Dimensional Realms are used freely. The Chaos Origin Source plane is connected to our Universe, like a second layer of a cake. They are the same cake but separated. If you can bring us to the Universe Foundation's Location, I have a way to get us inside this plane.]
