Chapter Doesn"t Make Sense
Turen continued, "That time truly were the best years I"ve ever had in several millennia. The feeling of experiencing new things, even though they weren"t really new to my real body. And above all else, meeting your mother and having you three. Just so you know, I"ve never been married here in the Realm of G.o.ds. I"ve dedicated my entire life to cultivation, so you could say I"ve had a pretty lonely life."
"Yet, I"ve never expected that the Vruve Organization would appear in Sunkan. At first, I thought they came for me. After all, they were also after the fragments. But later on, after I woke up here in the Realm of G.o.ds with my real body again, I found out that it wasn"t the case. My investigation pointed out that Vruve"s experts went to Sunkan to hunt Soul Gem. I found that quite ridiculous since Soul Gem had disappeared a very long time ago. I wasn"t even born when the events around the Extinction Sphere happened. Why would he suddenly appear there?"
"Yet, here you two are, and you seem to know something about it as well. At least your reaction to me mentioning the Vruve Organization was quite suspicious. Well, you are my kids, so your father will support you as long as you don"t intend to destroy this universe."
Rean and Roan sighed after hearing the full story. "What about mother? Have you found her, dad?"
Turen shook his head, replying, "I did find a few reincarnations from Sunkan Planet here in the Realm of G.o.ds. To be honest, I"m still confused as to why. Why would so many reincarnations appear here? Having their souls reborn in the Realm of G.o.ds is okay. Yet, they all kept their memories or recovered their memories after reaching the Nascent Soul Level. I didn"t need to think too deeply into it to know that Soul Gem definitely had something to do with it."
Rean could not help but mention after that, "We found Rana, dad."
"What?!" Turen was taken aback with shock! "Are you telling the truth?! Did you really find your sister?!"
Rean nodded, telling him, "Yes, she reincarnated in the Realm of G.o.ds, just like the others. She"s now a Fairy living in the Huring Continent. Well, to be more specific, she"s a Fairy Queen."
"I have to bring her away immediately! Where exactly is she? I"m leaving right now!" Turen obviously wouldn"t let the opportunity to get his daughter back escape.
"She"s fine," Rean added. "She has her own life now. She isn"t in danger or anything."
Turen shook his head, though. "You don"t understand. Way too many demons, angels, and Realm of G.o.ds" experts want my head. If not because I"ve prepared a lot, and I mean a lot, I would have never appeared in this place. Although the risks are low, I can"t allow my enemies to capture my daughter, your sister."
It was then that Turen noticed something. "No, wait! Everyone who had reincarnated in the Realm of G.o.ds so far became part of the Spirit Races. There were no exceptions. How come you two are still humans, and with your appearance from back then?"
"That"s because we had never died to start with," Roan explained. By now, he had already confirmed that the man in front of them was really their father. "You said that we knew something about Soul Gem, right? That"s correct. We know Soul Gem. It was also thanks to him that we escaped Sunkan unscratched. Unfortunately, by the time we found out the planet was going to be destroyed, we only had a few seconds to act. We did not have the chance to head back to Varen Tribe and take you, mother, and Rana with us."
"So you really were involved with Soul Gem..." Roan"s words confirmed Turen"s suspicions. "Now that I think about it, your talents and knowledge back when you were kids were just too weird. Such a thing shouldn"t have been possible, but there you were. My avatar didn"t know anything. However, after I woke up with my real body, I started to piece things together. First of all, humanoid races shouldn"t have an affinity with the Light and Dark Element, but you two did. Was it because of Soul Gem too? Do you mind explaining to me what your connection with him exactly is?"
Rean and Roan looked at each other for a moment before nodding. "Very well, it goes like this..."
The twins then explained everything to Turen. How they, in fact, didn"t come from this side of the universe but the other. How they acquired their affinity due to the Soul Gem System, or how Soul Gem"s soul was still hibernating in the Soul Gem System itself. How they kept their memories from their previous lives... they also recounted their adventures so far. The Zasfins" planet, the demon guarding the Realm of G.o.ds" portal, their arrival in the Huring Continent, their journey all the way to this place.
Naturally, they also told Turen about their ultimate objective. The fact that they had to acquire all fragments and unite both halves of the universe again. Otherwise, the universe would perish.
"This..." Without a doubt, Turen had never been so shocked in his life. "The universe was divided in two... and one side doesn"t even have Spiritual or Divine Energies. I didn"t know about that at all, and I truly did a lot of investigation on Soul Gem"s topic. If even I didn"t know about it, then how many know of it?"
However, he quickly noticed a problem. "No, that doesn"t make sense..."
Rean and Roan nodded, having noticed the exact same problem as their father. "Half of the universe disappeared during the Extinction Sphere event. It"s normal that the low-level experts in the Realm of G.o.ds don"t know about it. However, it seems like father is at the very top of the food chain. Yet, even you didn"t know that half of the universe disappeared. Is that even possible? How come you know about the events of the Extinction Sphere but not about the half of the universe that disappeared? It truly doesn"t make sense. It as if..."
Turen nodded, continuing, "It"s as if this knowledge had been purposely wiped out from this side of the universe."
