Chapter 693 - The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade

Following that, the hole connecting both the Dimensional Realm and the outside world disappeared. After that, Rean and Roan went to Sister Orb and touched her to access the Soul Gem Reward System after more than three years.

Sure enough, the number of Destiny Points they had didn't change at all after the Soul Gem System went into hibernation. "Alright, that's more than enough to buy the next Soul Gem Realm Upgrade." With that said, they both selected the option.

[Confirm Selection?]

"Yes," Rean and Roan answered at the same time.

[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade starting...]

As soon as that happened, a huge amount of Spiritual Sense began to be absorbed from the outside. It was so fast that even the Zasfins noticed the difference in the amount outside.

"What's happening?"

"Something's taking all the Spiritual Energy."

"Can you see anything?"

Seeing that, Celis intervened, responding, "It's me, idiots." He knew that it must be something going on with Rean's group that was causing that phenomenon. In fact, he was also shocked by the amount of Spiritual Energy being absorbed from his dwelling place. To counter it, Celis absorbed even more Spiritual Energy from the world through its roots and the help of its seeds.

Inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, Sister Orb was feeling quite pleased. [Sure enough, Celis is a World Swallowing Cedar. I was afraid that we would need a very long time to get enough Spiritual Energy, even with the amount present here at the moment. However, Celis is bringing even more of it to us.]

Rean, Roan, and Kentucky didn't pay too much attention to Sister Orb. That's because they were seeing the changes happening to the Dimensional Realm firsthand. Not only them, but even the kids had shining eyes from the event.

The first change was the ground, which was nothing but a black and flat extension without any color. From the very center of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, the earth began to appear as it spread outwards. At the same time that happened, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm then expanded in all directions.

All elements gathered, giving life to that bleak place. Grass grew from the ground beneath Rean and the kids. Clouds appeared as the roof of the Dimensional Realm turned sky blue. Even more impressive was something that looked like a sun taking form above it. Nonetheless, it didn't look like that the sun was really there, which gave a weird feeling.

Sister Orb then explained to them, saying, [That's not a fake sun, but a real one. It's just that it isn't here but somewhere else. The Soul Gem System is using its spatial laws to bring the sunlight from the nearest sun outside. If we move to another planet in the future, the same thing will happen again with the nearest sun there. Of course, we must be in the same solar system for that to be possible. If we're too far away, the system wouldn't be able to do so.]

Finally, Rean understood what that meant. "Wait! The system is creating an atmosphere, just like real planets!"

Sister Orb laughed in response, saying, [Hahaha! Exactly! That's the new ability of the Soul Gem System's third upgrade, Life Sustainability! From now on, the Soul Gem System will also be able to generate its own Spiritual Energy, just like any other planet.]

Rean's group was quite surprised by that. Such an ability was quite excellent to have. Of course, Sister Orb immediately explained the shortcomings of the Dimensional Realm's new form, [However, you better not think you can use the Spiritual Energy of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm instead of the outside world's energy. It's still way too small. Even the lack of Spiritual Energy in other places of this planet is several times higher than what the system will generate. You still need the outside's Spiritual Energy.]

Rean wasn't disappointed by that, saying, "That's not a problem. We can simply do the same thing as we always did, absorb the outside world's Spiritual Energy to feed the Dimensional Realm."

Roan agreed with Rean, responding soon after, "He's right. I personally am very interested in this new ability since I can now plant my own herb garden. For an alchemist like me, this is a very good outcome. Also, in case we ever end up in a place with no Spiritual Energy whatsoever, we'll be able to use the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm as a last resort."

*Creeee!* "Rean, Roan, look! There's so much space in here I can even fly now!" Sure enough, the Minokawa still had a child-like mind. Not only that, Rean and Roan soon noticed that Kentucky had quite a few kids on his back...all women.

"Alright, just make sure to not drop them," Rean said with a smile. He wasn't afraid of the kids falling from up there since Kentucky was holding everyone with his Spiritual Energy. From the looks of it, Kentucky was already obtaining the kids' trust.

The process continued for quite some time. Trees grew in the distance, a river appeared out of there, being filled up by the water element in there. The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm was truly becoming a small paradise. Eventually, it finished its expansion, expanding to a radius of 20 kilometers. The crowded place with kids now had more than enough space for everyone.

Outside in the underground where Celis stayed, several Zasfins appeared in front of it. Celis didn't treat them the same way as the guards around, though. "Well, well, well. Neither of you have paid me a visit in a very long time. What do you want now?"

An old man, who seemed to be the leader of the ground, stepped forward and said, "Celis, we received a report about what was happening with the Spiritual Energy here. Not only that, but it just so happened at the moment the entire headquarters blew into the skies." The old man's face became darker as he continued to ask, "Do you have something to do with it?"

Out of nowhere, Celis began to laugh out loud, not hiding his feelings at all. "Your headquarters blew up? Hahaha! Now, that's a piece of good news. Now I know why the consumption of Spiritual Energy suddenly disappeared from there. I must say, whoever did this, they have my thanks. I've waited a very long time to see you bunch suffer, even if just a little."

Ceilis continued, "However, I have nothing to do with it. Or could it be that the mighty Ancestor Fikin believes that I could escape all the formations set in place to hold me down? Also, that I did that and then came back here just to be questioned by you guys."

Fikin was obviously the name of the old man in front of Celis. Although their sizes were worlds apart, the Spiritual Energy Pressure that Fikin and Celis exuded was definitely at the same level. "Do you want me to put you under the Mara Fire again?"

Celis's demeanor immediately changed when he heard that, saying, "Tch...forget it. You're no fun. First of all, as long you bunch are around, is there any meaning in blowing up the headquarters? In the end, you can build everything again in a hundred years or so. For us, such a time is nothing." Celis obviously seemed to fear the so-called Mara Fire.

Fikin narrowed his eyes. Celis was right. Even if the headquarters lost all its formations, they could rebuild it as long as they were here. No one would try to take their power since no one was as strong as them. "You still haven't answered what you used all the extra Spiritual Energy for." Fikin pointed out. After all, it was too much of a coincidence.

Celis didn't seem to care, though. "It's quite simple. With all the headquarters' formations gone, all the Spiritual Energy they used stopped here. It's not that I gathered it, but that I had nowhere to redirect it. You are a formation master yourself, and you can't even figure out this much?"

Fikin felt that something was fishy. Nevertheless, he already verified all the formations around Celis. He was sure that none of them got affected by whatever happened in the headquarters. Besides, he couldn't see the kids that were captured anywhere with his Spiritual Sense. As far as he knew, Celis didn't have any way to hide such a thing from him. Otherwise, Celis would have done so a long time ago when the defenses weren't as strong as now.

Fikin then waved his hand, signaling for the other ancestors to leave. Right after, he turned around before saying, "You better be telling the truth, or you will regret it."

Celis snorted in response as he replied, "Hmph! You need me, so how bad can you be? Shoo, shoo! I don't wanna see your face anymore."

Fikin didn't say anything and disappeared right after.
