Death... and me

2331 Back To The Surface

Rean couldn't help but ask through a Divine Sense Message. 'Soul Gem, what is happening here?'

However, much to Rean's surprise, the one to answer was not Soul Gem but Hyeonmu. "What is happening, you ask? You know very well what happened."

Rean and the others were taken aback! Hyeonmu could hear Divine Sense messages intended for someone else!

Soul Gem glared at Rean, his meaning obvious. Rean and the rest of his group should stay put and do nothing! Soul Gem then returned his attention to Hyeonmu. "Senior, please don't blame those juniors of mine. As senior well know, the Universe has been divided into two parts, and it won't last forever like this. These juniors of mine are the forces I gathered to solve this problem. I hope you can give them a chance."

Hyeonmu looked at Rean and Roan's group, feeling it hard to believe. "They? A bunch of babies at the punny Elemental Space Realm Peak Stage? Soul Gem Brat, it is not that I don't believe you, but how do you expect to achieve such a thing with such a small and weak group?"

"Senior has no need to worry. Believe it or not, this group, especially the twins, was born less than a thousand years ago. Their talent is immense<" Soul Gem explained.

"Less than a thousand years ago?" Hyeonmu had to admit that was impressive. "If that is truly the case, then perhaps they might be of some help. However, were you able to formulate a plan to fix this issue? I thought you were dead after the Extinction Sphere event."

"I have," Soul Gem nodded respectfully. "I just hope senior Hyeonmu can give them a chance and forgive them for the crime of touching your Divine Shell. It's for the sake of the Universe as a whole. I'll make sure to give them a proper reprimand."

Hyeonmu kept silent for a moment before finally agreeing. "Very well... Taking into account your services for this Universe, I will let bygones be bygones. Regardless of the result, it is at least good to see that someone is still trying to find a solution. You can all go."

Soul Gem sighed in relief. "Thank you very much, senior Hyeonmu."

However, much to Soul Gem's surprise, Roan decided to ask Hyeonmu a question. "Senior, do you know where we could find fragments of the Universe Foundation?"

Soul Gem's expression warped. 'What the hell is he doing? Does he even know how bad is this thing's temperament?! It is already good enough that he simply let us go!' Yet, there was nothing else he could do anymore.

Hyeonmu's voice immediately turned grave. "You do not have the right to talk to me, brat. I will not help anyone. If you know what is good for you, leave immediately."

Roan was unafraid, though. If they couldn't find the location of the other fragments, then the Universe would be destroyed, and they would die with it. So, why should he care? "You say that, but it is also to your benefit that we find those Fragments of the Universe Foundation. If the Universe is destroyed, we are all going down together. Whether you wipe us out now or we die later makes no difference. However, if we are able to gather all the fragments, there is still a chance of repairing it. I refuse to believe an existence of your level doesn't know more about it."

Soul Gem's expression turned bitter. 'It's over. We are all dead for sure...' he thought.

*rumble...*

Sure enough, Divine Energy once again began to suffocate their group. If things continued like this, they would indeed be killed. However, Roan's expression was cold and determined. He held no regret to his decision of inquiring more to this giant eye.

The pressure increased, and just as it was about to break their bodies and soul, it stopped. Hyeonmu looked at Roan, who obviously held no fear on his face. One must know that even the Divinity Realm experts would prostrate themselves in front of him, so it was quite impressive his resolve. "There are seven fragments in your hands as far as I can see. One is in the hands of your father."

Everyone was surprised that Hyeonmu truly decided to answer Roan's question. Of course, none would stop him since they needed that information. Even the fact he knew the twins had seven fragments didn't surprise them due to this entity's power.

"I can only talk to you about the fragments in the Realm of Gods... or, to be more precise, in the realm on the back of my shell. Take this information as me paying an ancient favor. There are another two fragments in the Realm of Gods. You will find one of them in a Dimensional Realm located in the Hustis Continent. It's the smallest fragment, so the changes it caused made everyone overlook it."

"The second fragment is in the hands of a member of the Essence Race hiding somewhere in the old Essence Race Territory. As for who it is and where he can be found, that's up to you to discover," Hyeonmu concluded.

Roan got more than he expected. Yet, he couldn't lose this opportunity and prepared to continue asking more questions. Unfortunately, Hyeonmu didn't give him the chance. Before he could say anything, Spatial Powers once again gathered around their group.

*Zush!*

With a flash of silver light, Roan and everyone else disappeared. Hyeonmu's eyes then closed, pretending that nothing had happened. Whether his words would be of any use or not, he said all he could. Due to some circumstances, he wasn't allowed to speak much, but no one knew why.

*Zush!*

Somewhere on the surface of the Realm of Gods, a flash of Silver Light appeared and disappeared, revealing a group of people and a Demon Bird. 

As they looked around, they couldn't help but sigh in relief. "We are back to the surface..."

Soul Gem, who was still awakened, looked at Roan with a surprised expression. "I don't know how you made that guy answer you, but good job."

Roan was more interested in what had just happened, though. "Just... what was that thing?"
