Death... and me

Chapter 2429 Death Doors

Kafan couldn't help but show a gloomy expression. "You truly have no regard for your master's feelings... Your master is sad..."

Rean quickly complained. 'Look at what you have done! You don't need to be so cold, you know?! There is so much love in there, yet you can't accept it. Truly regretful...'

[Boooooo! Boooooo! That's not how a disciple should treat his master!] Sister Orb didn't lose the chance to join the conversation.

'Yes! Sister Orb is right!' Rean agreed immediately.

Roan's mouth twitched. 'Fuck you! No wonder he liked you back then. You two are equally annoying! What is it? Were you three some kind of blood siblings in a previous life or something? I have no patience for this!'

Roan was also merciless to Kafan outside. "Stop the bullshit! You are reminding me of that fucking idiot and an even bigger and rounder idiot!" Roan couldn't help but wonder if he had some kind of fate with these types of characters. That was truly unfortunate, if that was true, he thought.

Kafan immediately remembered who Roan was talking about. "Oh! I told you, I truly liked the boy. I also want to meet the rounder idiot. Hahaha!" Seeing Roan grow even angrier, Kafan decided to stop there. "Alright, alright. Let me continue."

"Now we had the method to create Death Spirit Copies, but how should we use them? Even the best ones only had a power similar to Elemental Transformation Realm experts. It was still not enough for them to open Spatial Gates on their own. That's when we decided to create the Universal Transition Organization," Kafan explained.

"Because of the complete lack of cultivation energies in this side of the Universe, any resistance towards spatial abilities compltely disappeared. You noticed it already, didn't you? Spatial Gates can be opened so much further away than anywhere else on the other side."

Roan nodded. "It is indeed the case."

Kafan sipped a little more tea. "So, thanks to that, we developed new methods of using Death Energy. The first one was that instead of Cultivation Energies, this side of the Universe would be covered in Death Energies instead."

Roan immediately remembered. "That makes sense. Regardless of where I went to do my job as a Death Spirit on this side of the Universe, I always had access to Death Energy. The only difference was whether it was more concentrated or not. The further I was from the Organization, the smaller the concentration. Still, it was always there, more than enough to keep my job going."

"That's correct," Kafan laid a little back on his chair as he talked. "We found out that not only was the resistance to spatial powers nonexistent but that with Death Energy, it made it even easier to use. With Death Energy around, it was possible for even the Nascent Soul Level Death Spirit Copies to open a special type of Spatial Gate. We called them the Death Doors, although very few use this name."

"The Death Doors, obviously, used Death Energy to open. The best thing was that it could connect to any place as long as it was within the range of the Death Energy Source. Once we covered this side of the Universe with Death Energy, we were able to send Death Spirit Copies literally anywhere within its range."

Kafan didn't seem very happy at that point. "Of course, there was a problem. Death Energy is not like the cultivation energies from the Chaos Origin Source. It doesn't have an unlimited supply. Dead souls are necessary to create it."

"That's where the Organization comes in," Kafan continued. "For us to be able to cover this side of the Universe with Death Energy, we would need to sacrifice more Dead Souls than we had ever done before. Yet, by now, everyone understood we truly had no other choice. It was that, or wait for the Soul Devils to consume all dead souls."

Roan knew it was not an option. "Once the Soul Devils finished the dead souls, they would kill all living beings so that they could get even more Dead Souls. Most of them have no consciousness and only act on instinct, after all. Sooner or later, all living beings would be wiped out."

Kafan sighed. "Compared to that, the sacrifice of the dead souls was many times better. I'm not saying it was a small price. The price was no doubt enormous. We, Death Spirits, were truly messing up with the whole reincarnation system. Too bad the reincarnation system ceased to work on this side. We had no more Reincarnation Path to prevent that."

"What came after that was pretty obvious," Kafan quickly put those feelings aside and continued. They have been doing it for way too long to have any regrets now. "Through the creation of Death Spirit Copies and the possible transportation of those copies anywhere, we quickly gathered as many Dead Souls as possible."

"The Universal Transition Organization began to convert all the dead souls and transform them into a new source, similar to what we believe the Chaos Orign Source would look like. It's just that it would need a constant influx of Dead Souls to work."

"That was convenient in a certain way," Roan said. "To prevent Dead Souls from becoming Soul Devils, you needed to get rid of the Dead Souls. The fact that transforming them into Death Energy also fixed this issue was a good thing... even if it left a bad taste in the mouth."

"That it was..." Kafan agreed with Roan. "We started with the Dead Souls near the center of this side of the Universe. Countless Dead Souls were transformed into Death Energy every single minute. At the same time, compatible Dead Souls would be transformed into Death Spirit Copies and trained. These Death Spirit Copies would then open Death Doors within the range of the Death Energy and get even more dead souls. Thanks to that, the source became stronger, and the Death Energy range increased."

Roan couldn't help but ask. "But... what about the Soul Devils?"
