Death… And Me

Chapter 2379 Do Something For Me

Chapter 2379 Do Something For Me

Rean couldn't help but think. 'Isn't it countless times better than my communication system? Holy shit!'

Of course, Huban immediately talked about the price of using such a method for conversation. "But to do this, you need to manipulate them. Yet, there is a problem. It is believed that such an ability is what someone who reached the next realm can do, and we aren't there yet. So we are forcing our way to get our message through."

"As you probably can imagine, that's where the price has to be paid. We need to literally sacrifice some of our comprehension of the laws to be able to force the celestial laws to bend to our will. Once you do that, you will completely forget what you knew about these parts of the laws you sacrificed."

"Then... you and Kafan had to give up some of your comprehension to talk? Is it even worth it?" Roan asked, curious.

Huban nodded and shook his head. "I wouldn't really spend my comprehension for such a thing. The one who did it was your Master, Kafan. He was the one to contact me on this side. It was only when he paid this price that we could talk for a while. Well, in his case, I don't think he cares too much about the price."

"Why?" Rean and the others asked.

"That's because even though you sacrifice your comprehension, it doesn't mean it is gone forever. Why can't you simply comprehend what you forgot once again? It's just that it would usually take thousands of years to get back to the level you were before, so most of us only use such a method when extremely necessary," Huban explained.

"So... he contacted you just to say that I came to this side of the Universe? Why?" Roan found it strange. Was there a need to sacrifice so much? First of all, what were the chances of Roan and Huban ever meeting each other? It didn't make sense.

Sure enough, Huban denied Roan's notion. "Of course not! The fact you came to this side of the Universe was just a quick remark from him. The reason he contacted me was something different altogether. It had nothing to do with you. Even Kafan couldn't possibly predict that you and I would meet one day."

"However, I can't tell what we talked about. That's something that involves a few secrets between me and your Master on the other side. All you need to know is that I definitely won't spend some of my comprehension just so that you can talk. If you one day reach my level, you can do it yourself. You will be able to feel the presence of everyone at this level, and that includes Hyeoumu down there or the Devils and the archangels, too."

At the moment, it is already possible to feel the presence of other experts above the Void Tempering Realm through their natural Spatial Perception as long as they are close enough. So, it wasn't hard for Roan's group to believe that they could feel each other's presence after getting to that level.

Roan then pondered about the situation. From the looks of it, his Master knew he had come to this side. 

Rean, too, found it strange. 'Did you notice? Back on the other side, the system chose me as the host. But I can't help but think it had something to do with my archangel father. In the end, you ended up being affected by the system too. We always thought your involvement was nothing but a coincidence. Now, however, your Master suddenly appeared and seemed to know everything. Was your appearance back there to take my soul away really just a coincidence?'

Roan, obviously, noticed that as well. 'I truly wish to think it was a coincidence. I'm not an idiot, though. It might very well be, as you are implying. Too many mysteries at once. The problem is that Huban doesn't have much to do with it, so he doesn't have the answer I seek.'

Rean nodded. 'All the things connected to our involvement in the Universe's Salvation become more and more intricate by the day. By now, I wouldn't be surprised even if your Master and my archangel father knew each other. No, perhaps Soul Gem knows both and is also involved in it.'

'It is possible,' Roan nodded. 'But for now, there is nothing we can do. We can only look for an answer if we meet them again.'

Roan then took a deep breath and asked Huban. "Alright, let's put this matter aside. Hyeoumu told us that an Essence Race member has one of the Universe Foundation Fragments. Considering how you talked before, it is pretty obvious that this Essence Race member is you, right?"

Huban didn't deny that. "You are correct. I do have another one of the fragments. Yet, they are linked to the well-being of the Universe, so why should I give it to you?"

Roan answered with another question. "Then can you use it to reunify both sides?"

"This..." Huban was taken aback for a moment. "No, I can't."

Roan faintly smiled. "Well, we can. I can't tell if the plan will work, but even Hyeoumu understands there is a chance. Would it better for you to bet on a small chance of us succeeding than you having no chance at all?"

"Hahaha!" Huban laughed after hearing that. "No wonder Kafan thinks so highly of you. Even your way with words is impressive. However, you understand that there is another reason why I don't wish to give it up, right?"

Even Kentucky understood what that reason was. "The story about the Fragments being one of the ways to surpass the Divinity Realm."

Huban nodded. "Exactly. Even experts at my level still haven't given up on reaching that illusory next realm, and this fragment might be the key to that. So, why should I give it up?"

"Simple," Rean answered. "Because if you don't, the Universe is done for. Can you reach the next realm when you and the whole Universe are dead?"

Huban had to admit Rean made sense. Others might not know, but for him, who is so close to the celestial laws, things were pretty obvious. The Universe was dying, and it wouldn't last very long. "Alright. However, you must first do something for me."
