Death... and me

"So... if it only needs energy now... Do we throw a lot of Divine Stones into it?" Eagon pondered a bit before saying.

Kentucky raised his hand. "We are in the mortal realm, so it is Spiritual Energy. Would Divine Energy work?" He obviously knew there was no need for that. He was just following the twins' story.

Roan shook his head. "Spiritual Energy is nothing more than a lower level of origin Energy. Since it absorbed our own energy, it should accept Divine Energy as well." He was more than happy to pretend that was the case.

"Let's give it a try!" Rean immediately took a bunch of Rank Four Divine Stones from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

In the end, no one wanted to spend their high-level Divine Stones. Well, it wouldn't be necessary anyway since the twins only had to give the order, and the restoration would start.

They all threw thousands of Rank three and four Divine Stones into the black hole, which absorbed it all at the twins' command. At some point, the twins finally willed it. 'System, initiate restoration!'

[Request accepted. Soul Gem Universal World Attachment Restoration started.]

*Rumble!*

Space and time began to warp and contort as the Blackhole, which was now silver and golden, started to grow at a fast pace.

"Get away!" Eagon saw how it would cover the area where they were staying, so he quickly retreated.

Rean, Roan, Kentucky, Mia, and Old Worm did the same, disappearing from there.

*Rumble!*

The Silver and Golden Black hole then began to absorb all the other elements as well. Not long after, it became a swirl with several colored waves. As it did that, it increased more and more in size.

At some point, something that looked like a portal opened. Yet, it wasn't the same as you would see when opening a Spatial Gate. The insides were revolving with a lot more elements than just space and time.

After a few minutes, the Blackhole had already grown to the size of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Planet. Of course, it was still too small compared to the outside world planets, so it continued to increase.

Finally, it reached a size that was slightly bigger than Sunkan Planet itself. It was then that a gigantic mass started to come out. As it came out, everything on it began to take several shapes. By now, anyone could tell that what was coming from inside the colored hole was a planet.

The atmosphere slowly took form, rivers were created, and forests took shape. Mountains, valleys, deserts, grasslands, everything. Above all, the twins' group and Eagon could see with their Divine Senses that countless souls were descending onto the planet, entering static bodies all over the place. Be it humanoid or demon beast, they were all the same.

"This..." Eagon could tell now that what was appearing in front of him was none other than Sunkan Planet. "How is that possible? Wasn't it destroyed?"

Rean nodded. "We would love to know why it is happening too." Well, it wasn't a complete lie. Rean knew that the Soul Gem System was the reason, but he didn't know what was being used as the energy source for such a thing.

Roan paid even more attention to the environment and noticed something else as well. "Seems like time was frozen there."

Old Worm, as someone who lived on that planet for thousands of years, immediately agreed with Roan. "Yes. Everything is exactly as it was before the planet was destroyed. From the looks of it, even the souls that were supposed to have been sent to the Reincarnation Path were kept inside that frozen time state."

"Nothing escapes the power of time," Eagon added. "Even souls won't be able to go anywhere if the time environment around them is not moving forward."

Old Worm narrowed his eyes. After part of the planet took form, he saw that his Sasamil Empire also began to appear as well. After some time, he recognized the naked bodies of many of his previous family members. Of course, most of them would never recognize Old Worm since his own existence was known by very few. Those naked bodies were then covered in clothes, exactly the same ones they were wearing before the explosion.

Naturally, the Dalamu Sect was part of the Sasamil Empire. At some point, Mia saw how her own sect emerged from the countless fragments swirling all around. With the sect, the disciples and elders appeared one after another. Their souls entered their now reconstructed bodies, giving life to those empty shells.

Rean and Roan were in doubt about one thing, though. 'What about Havek, Rana, and the other people we saw reincarnating back in the Realm of Gods?' Would their reconstructed bodies be empty, or would there be a soul? Perhaps their own souls back in the Realm of Gods would be forcefully dragged here to enter their original bodies... They didn't know.

Finally, Rean and Roan detected a body from someone they were certain they met in the Realm of Gods. 'It's Havek's body!'

The souls still wandered everywhere, entering the various bodies that took shape. Yet, Havek's body didn't receive any soul whatsoever. At some point, the souls stopped appearing as they all entered their own bodies. Havek's body, on the other hand, was left just like that, an empty shell. 'Sure enough, nothing entered his body...' the twins thought at the same time.

Yet, that also raised another question. Rean looked at Roan and used their Soul Connection to talk. 'How did Havek, Rana, and the other souls escape this phenomenon? They reincarnated in the Realm of Gods, after all.'

Roan shook his head. 'I have no idea. Sister Orb, is this related to the system as well?'

[Hard to say. Sure, Rana and Havek were somewhat close to you, so you could say the system picked their souls to reincarnate with their memories on purpose. However, I can't guarantee that since you did meet other reincarnated souls that you had never met on Sunkan before. Why would the system pick those people? If you pay attention, Havek wasn't the only body that ended without a soul. There are a few thousand of them around the areas that have already been reconstructed. Of course, a few thousand is nothing compared to the tens of billions of lives on Sunkan Planet.]

That left them with one option. 'Most likely, it is related to that source of energy you mentioned...'

[I think so, too.]
