DEATH… AND ME

ng to die, huh? Sure enough, it was too good to be true. ” Surprisingly, Celis didn ’t seem angry anymore, just sad.

[Dying? What are you talking about? There ’s no way you would die, idiot.] Sister Orb rebuked. 

Naturally, everyone was puzzled by that, especially Celis.
”What do you mean? My core is cracking.
It ’ll break apart at any moment. ” 

[That ’s not it.
It ’s just that your body and core were too old.
Not to mention that they were supposed to be used at Stage Ten.
If we leave it like this, there will be side effects.
That being said, the Soul Gem System left some of your own power by the side to work on a rejuvenation,] Sister Orb said all of that while the transformation continued.

However, it seemed that only Celis understood what she really meant.
”I see…that ’s what this system you talked about wanted, the world essence that I acc.u.mulated after all this time. ”

Out of nowhere, a shattering sound came from Celis ’s body, and all the remaining old parts broke away.
As if it was a bird coming out of its shell, a much younger and smaller World Swallowing Tree appeared.
The same happened to Celis ’s core, which was much smaller but was brimming with life force.

Even Roan was shocked by that.
”Does that mean the Soul Gem System has the power to make one young again? ” Sure enough, that ’s what everyone thought.

Sadly, that wasn ’t the case.
[Of course not.
Hahaha!] Sister Orb replied as she laughed.
[This only happened because the system used the world essence that Celis acc.u.mulated for a very long time.
Also, it only worked because Celis is a Demon Plant.
You must understand that plants are completely different lifeforms than demon beasts or humans.
You can forget about using the same thing.
As for Celis, he had returned to his prime.
However, he paid a high price for that, his cultivation.]

”Hahaha! ” However, Celis laughed out loud.
”Who cares if I lost my cultivation in exchange? Look at me! I ’m young again! Not only that, I have all my experience of breakthroughs, so it ’ll be very easy to do it again as long as I have enough energy. ” Celis seemed very happy now that he looked at the new him. 

Rean smiled in response, saying, ”Well, all ’s well that ends well. ”

It was then that Rean saw Kentucky flying up and down as he carried many of Celis ’s old branches, leaves, and barks up.
”What you doin ’, Kentucky? ”

”Can ’t you see the big opportunity? Celis ’s old parts are very high level.
They will make the perfect nest! Not to mention they ’re obviously very compatible with Celis himself.
How can I let such an opportunity pass up? ” Kentucky said as he worked on grabbing the parts as fast as possible. 

It was quite weird, though.
Kentucky never cared about something as a nest before.
But now, it seemed like he was working on a life-changing task.

Celis was obviously even more satisfied as he said, ”Great! Let me help you. ” Several of his vines shot out as he helped Kentucky with the project.
After that, the two then entered their own world, not paying attention to anything happening around them.

Roan shrugged his shoulder as he turned around.
”Leave them be.
That has nothing to do with us. ” Following that, he glanced at Sister Orb and said, ”By the way, we ’ve reached Authority Level 30 and got a new title.
It ’s time to see what we got from them. ”

Sister Orb agreed, saying, [Indeed.
You have a lot more privileges now, so you can ask more questions.
However, the system hasn ’t finished all its tasks yet…]

*Pin!*

The Soul Gem System ’s robotic voice soon echoed in Rean and Roan ’s minds once again.

Sister Orb sighed as she muttered, [I knew it.
There we go.]
