Chapter 2421 The past on the other side
Kafan then tried to rea.s.sure Roan. "Oh, you don"t need to worry, though. This influence we exert on the Death Spirit copies is only capable of preventing them from harboring rebellious thoughts against the Organization, that"s all. Other than this, their thoughts and desires are all theirs. We do not influence them at all. They are already doing so much for our side of the Universe. We couldn"t truly take away all their self-awareness."
Roan also agreed with that. He truly did have his own aspirations back then. He seldom ever took free time from his job, but when he did, he did go around doing things he liked. After all, each span of free time would usually take hundreds of years. But then again, it was true he had never thought about rebelling against the Organization. If anything, they provided quite a good work environment if you compare it with the work environment on Rean"s planet.
"Anyway," Kafan continued. "Death Spirits are mostly copies of the real ones with a big flaw. Nonetheless, they are perfect for the job of keeping this side of the Universe proper for races to develop. They can"t do things like cultivation. However, if you take the Earth Planet of Rean as an example, the lack of cultivation energy opened doors for new types of development. Aren"t they technologically developed? There are quite a few planets on this side that reached the same results, and you know that."
"Well, I still believe they would take cultivation energy over technological development any time of the day," Roan said. "After all, you could increase your lifespan as your realms increased. Who wouldn"t rather live thousands of years instead?"
"Well, there might be a few who would prefer the way it is," Kafan considered. "Still, you were right. Most would definitely prefer cultivation instead. Too bad, though. Even if this side of the Universe was suddenly filled with Spiritual and Divine Energy, the races here would have no use for it."
Roan understood why. "Countless years have pa.s.sed since the extinction sphere event. Most races alive today aren"t even connected to races that were alive back then. They were born and evolved in a Universe where cultivation energies don"t exist. Logically, their bodies don"t have the capability of creating Dantians or Cores. They simply wouldn"t be able to cultivate at all."
"Exactly," Kafan was happy Roan understood. "Well, it"s not like there aren"t ways around it. I, for example, do have a few methods that would allow the races on this side to start cultivation. I developed them out of boredom during my life on this side. Still, they would all be artificial ones. None of these methods would be anywhere as good as the natural Dantians and Cores."
"That reminds me," Roan thought about the races of this side of the Universe. "Back when the extinction sphere was destroyed, it split the Universe, right? At that time, both sides had cultivation energy. What happened to all the races that could cultivate during that time?"
Kafan sighed as he reminisced about those times. "That... wasn"t a very good time for our Death Spirit Race."
Kafan began to tell Roan the story of when the Universe was split in two. Back then, the split event killed countless lives. After all, there were many races, planets, etc, that lived around the region of the split. Anyone up to a few million light-years of distance from the splitting area on both sides was completely destroyed down to their atoms.
"You have to understand that for the Universe to be split, it had to be somewhere near the center," Kafan said. "Where do you think the most powerful races that dominated the Universe were located back then?"
Roan didn"t need to think to know the answer. "Obviously, the center. That"s where you would be closest to the Chaos Source. Now that I think about it, could you get Divine Energy without being in the Realm of G.o.ds back then?"
"You could," Kafan nodded. "Well, that matters little now. Still, back then, Hyeoumu also stayed with the Realm of G.o.ds on his back near the center. Yet, he knew that the extinction sphere would be too dangerous, so he got far away from it before Soul Gem initiated his plan to destroy it. Fortunately for him, he moved to the side where the Chaos Source is located today."
Roan nodded. "Since this side has no cultivation energies, it is safe to believe the Chaos Source is on the other side. Correct?"
Kafan was satisfied Roan understood. "Exactly. It is also one more reason for us to believe the Chaos Origin Source exists. If it didn"t, why would the other side have cultivation energies and this one not? It wouldn"t make sense. Of course, I could think about a few other reasons for that, but I"m adamant the Chaos Origin Source does exist."
"Anyway, I almost died that day. I did not take part in the battle against the Vruve Organization at that time, though. Our Death Spirit Race had so few members, so we simply preferred to stay out of the fight between Soul Gem and the Wafrol Forces. Well, the Wafrol forces took over Soul Gem"s Vruve Organization and call themselves Vruves now. Soul Gem was pretty mad at this fact. Hehehe!"
"That"s another thing I want to talk about. You know about the system, so Soul Gem must have come to find you," said Roan.
Kafan nodded. "Yes, he did. Don"t worry. I will talk about that later. For now, let me focus on the events in the past."
"As you can imagine, chaos took over after many of the powerful races and experts were wiped out near the center of the Universe. Our Death Spirit Race, however, immediately distanced itself from any power struggle. Once again, we just didn"t have many members back then. And experts at my level, like you already know, are prohibited from intervening with anything due to the agreement."
Kafan then sighed. "Yet... the initial chaos and struggle for power was nothing compared to what would unfold a few tens of thousands of years later."
