Death... and me

Chapter 2585 Seal It Forever

"Let's go out. We have nothing to do here anymore," Roan said, stepping outside of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm first. Rean followed him right behind, leaving everyone else in the Dimensional Realm.

Not long after, Rean and Roan went to see Huban, who was already back in his chamber. The three Peak Divinity Realm Essence Race members were already there, ready to start accelerating time around Huban. They only haven't started yet because Huban knew the twins would come to see him before leaving. "So, did everything happen as you expected?"

Rean nodded with a smile. "Yes, we have recovered the Fragment. Are you really okay with us leaving with it? We were even prepared in case you decided to take it for yourself after we managed to get rid of the Extinction Sphere's Energy."

"Hmph!" Huban wasn't surprised by that. "You did right to think like that. This is the cultivation world, after all. However, there is no need to dwell on this topic. I won't take it from you. With this, I have concluded my part of the deal. I got your communication system, and you got the Fragment. We can go our separate ways from now on."

Roan obviously had no complaints about that. "Then we will take our leave."

As the twins approached the exit, Rean couldn't help but ask. "But you won't mind if we come to pay a visit in the future, yeah? Just for fun."

Huban went silent for a moment. But in the end, he just accepted. "As long as you don't reveal our home's location, you can do as you please." Truth be told, he had quite some appreciation for the twins. They far surpassed his expectations, even with Kafan's assurance. There was no need to burn the bridge just because they ended their deal.

Kentucky, who was also there, couldn't help but comment. "Alright, then, what's the problem? I didn't mention it before, but I'm sure you are worried about something else than just this. There seems to be something weighing your mind more than your connection with this hidden realm."

Roan looked at Kentucky with a slight surprise on his face. Yet, before he said anything, Rean intervened. "Come on, Kentucky, isn't it obvious?" Rean also noticed that and even more.

"Obvious?" Kentucky didn't understand. Not only he but Luan, Celis, and Sister Orb, who were also hearing the conversation, didn't understand either. "What is obvious?"

Rean shrugged his shoulder while sighing. "To find more about this connection, Roan would have to break the Black Crystal, which ultimately would unlock his past life memories. Now then, once his past life memories merge with his actual memories, which one would be the real Roan? Would the past life of Roan take control? Would this Roan continue in control? Or, the option I find most likely to happen, would both memories merge, and a completely new Roan appear?"

"Ah!" Celis, Kentucky, Luan, and Sister Orb finally understood Roan's predicament. "Indeed, that's quite a hard decision to make. Poor Roan..."

"Poor Roan, your ass!" Roan didn't like all that pity at all. "I couldn't care less about your pity."

A moment later, he continued. "However, Rean is right. What bothers me is the prospect of me stopping being me."

Rean immediately replied. "I don't even know what you are worrying about. The answer is simple: you must NOT destroy the crystal. Who would be idiot enough to take such a risk? Besides, it is not like we truly need to go to this hidden realm. With your pills, our Laws Comprehension Speed is already ridiculously fast. Simply put, there is no point in unlocking the memories of a guy who has been dead for countless years. Just throw it into some corner of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and seal it forever."
