Death… And Me Chapter 2435 I Knew Him

Chapter 2435 I Knew Him

Soul Gem bitterly smiled as he couldn't do much about it anyway. "Sigh... alright, senior Kafan, alright. You were correct. Roan's presence truly sped things up by a lot. His experience did make things easier for Rean in the end. They even became great friends."

Roan's mouth twitched. Great friends? Was it okay to lie that blatantly? Roan couldn't hate Rean more than he does now... Well, he wasn't in the mood to waste time correcting Soul Gem either, so he said nothing.

"Now I understand why my Master knew about the system. It at least makes me a little more a.s.sured of our safety on this side of the Universe," said Roan. "By the way, Soul Gem, Kafan said that he has some kind of deal with the Vruves, who are using Pseudo-Temporal Paths to get to this side. Do you know anything about that?"

Soul Gem looked at Kafan. "Is it still like that?"

"Yes," Kafan nodded. "We need it."

"Very well," Soul Gem didn't seem surprised. If anything, he looked somewhat disappointed instead. "Just make sure they don't know anything about us."

Kafan obviously agreed. "That goes without saying."

Soul Gem then turned to Roan. "You better not know about it for now. It's not like you can do anything anyway. Just know that it won't interfere with our plans for the Unification of the Universe." In the end, Soul Gem also didn't tell Roan about the deal with the Vruves and Kafan.

"Fine." Roan couldn't say he was happy with that, but he didn't insist either.

"So... is there anything else to talk? If not, I would like to go back to sleep," said Soul Gem.

"Before that," Roan stopped him, "perhaps you should be here to hear about my other issue."

"Another issue?" Soul Gem got curious. "Sure, go ahead."

Roan then contacted Rean in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. 'You better come out here. It is pretty obvious there are no risks for us in this place, so your plan to keep an exit outside is of no use. Besides, this has a lot more to do with you than me.'

Rean, who was watching everything, agreed with Roan. 'Yes, I think so too.'

Right after, Rean appeared in the room. Kafan wasn't the least bit surprised, knowing that Soul Gem had a Dimensional Realm. "So you didn't go to check on your planet, uh? It's good to see you again, boy."

Rean scratched the back of his head. "Sorry for this little lie, senior. I was just being careful."

Kafan just waved his hand, not minding it at all. "It's fine."

Rean then looked at Soul Gem and recounted the story about his father, much to Soul Gem's surprise. "Was there such a thing?"

Roan narrowed his eyes. "You didn't know? Your system literally chose Rean, that guy's son, to attach itself. How come you didn't know about it?"

Rean agreed with Roan. "Indeed. I find it hard to believe it was a coincidence."

Yet, Soul Gem shook his head. "Trust me, I'm not lying. I didn't know Rean's father was an archangel at all, let alone that he came from outside of the Universe. This information is new to me. Don't you remember what I said back then? Rean's soul being chosen was truly nothing but a coincidence. He was the control orb's choice, not mine."

Sister Orb then asked. [What were the requisites for a soul to be chosen as the system's host?]

Soul Gem quickly answered. "First, it had to be 100% compatible with Yin or Yang. It had to have a huge affinity to at least one of these two energies. Rean was chosen because of his unbelievably high affinity with Yang Energy. Kafan helped a lot with it since, without his Divine Stones, the system truly wouldn't have had the energy to do the search."

Gem then looked at Roan. "That's one more reason for me to be surprised with the system's stability after you joined. A soul had to at least be that good with one of both energies. If your affinity with Yin Energy wasn't sky-high, just like Rean's Yang Affinity, the system would truly have collapsed. If you think about it, just how ridiculous that two souls of extreme opposites were able to meet each other like that. Truly a marvel to think about."

"What about other Death Spirit Copies?" Roan asked. "Couldn't it be the same to them?"

Kafan was the one to answer. "No. I told you, you were my best disciple, the one with the best control over Death Energy ever! It goes without saying that Death Energy is highly compatible with Yin Energy. h.e.l.l, you were even better than me in that regard when I was your age."

After saying that, everyone immediately understood the reason behind the system choosing Rean's soul. Soul Gem was the first one to speak it out. "Rean... was the kid of an Archangel, an Archangel that literally came from outside of the Universe. For him to have such an absurd affinity with Yang Energy was to be expected. It was probably genetic if you ask me."

Rean sighed in response. "So it was still nothing but a coincidence. Still, it is hard to believe if you think about it."

Roan understood what Rean was talking about. "Your Archangel father is older than the events of the extinction sphere. Maybe he is even older than Kafan himself. Yet, once he had a child, the system just so happened to be on this side of the Universe looking for a host. It is truly hard to believe it was a coincidence."

Soul Gem agreed. "Indeed. It even makes you wonder if he knew about the system. However, from the surprise he showed when he saw Rean back in the Minokawa's Land, it looks like he didn't. He truly looked as if he thought Rean was dead. Of course, perhaps he was just pretending, but I don't think that to be the case."

Roan then glanced at Kafan. "So, Kafan, in the end, did you know this guy? After all, he spent countless years on this side of the Universe with a cultivation at the peak of the Divinity Realm. You truly never saw him before?"

Kafan thought about the past. "I did know him. But I didn't know he was Rean's father."
