Death... and me

[It definitely has use.] Sister Orb answered. [You can use its Yin and Yang Energy to cultivate. You don’t even need to come into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Because the Dimensional Realm is yours, you can redirect its emanating Yin-Yang Energy and Dark and Light Elements into your bodies. That’s exactly what your cultivation manual needs, after all.]

Rean and Roan had to admit it was definitely useful. “So, how faster would our cultivation be?”

[Something around 10%. It’s like you upgraded your Divine Energy Absorption perk two levels at once.]

Rean and Roan were surprised to hear that. Just a 5% upgrade would cost them 50000 Destiny Points, after all. Another 5% would cost them even more.

[Of course, that’s only for you two. Because you’re connected to Celis and Kentucky, the effect won’t be as good since part of your cultivation progress is shared with them.]

“That’s not a problem,” Rean said in response. “Celis and Kentucky helped our cultivation increase in speed a lot. It’s good that we can do the same for them. Besides, if we buy the Divine Energy Absorption Upgrade, they would receive that as well.”

[That’s true.]

With his questions answered, Roan turned to the Soul Gem Orb. “Let’s buy our upgrades now. Those extra 80000 points will help out a lot.”

Sister Orb didn’t mind. [Good! The last time you checked, you had 42631 Destiny Points. During this time, the system accumulated another 2314 points from the changes in the people’s destinies. Now that you obtained an extra 80000 from the Foundation Fragment, you have a total of 124945 Destiny Points available for use.]

The twins nodded before accessing the reward list.

However, Rean and Roan also noticed a new option, one released to their new Starlight Body Cultivation Technique.

[Yin and Yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique – 100000 Destiny Points.]

Rean and Roan were taken aback by that. “Sister Orb, how good is this Yin and Yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique compared to the one we used?”

[Do you even need to ask?] Sister Orb could not help but say in response. [Unlike the one you possess, this one has no flaws. No, that’s not correct. It’s better to say that this one doesn’t have flaws as long as it’s you two using it. They wouldn’t be as good for someone else.]

There was a reason why Roan didn’t allow Rean to cultivate the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique after they connected to his star. Roan himself hasn’t cultivated it yet, either. That’s because he wanted to revise it thoroughly, using the other body cultivation techniques to create something as perfect as possible for them. He didn’t expect the system to come up with a cultivation technique itself.

However, Sister Orb warned them. [Since the cultivation technique is perfect for you two, it’ll also be much more difficult.]

“What do you mean by that?” Rean immediately asked.

[For example, your Starlight Body Cultivation Technique allows you to use several different items to refine your bodies during the stages of cultivation, correct?]

Rean and Roan nodded in response. Not only the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique, even the other body cultivation techniques allowed the use of different materials to refine one’s body.

Sister Orb continued. [The Yin and Yang Starlight Cultivation Technique will need very specific materials. You definitely won’t be able to use something else if you decide to use this one. It could be said that this is the reason why it’s flawless for you two. The system selected the materials that would perfectly match your bodies and the stages of the technique.]

Rean and Roan understood after that. “That means we might never be able to find some of the materials since they’re too scarce or perhaps extinct.”

[Partially correct. The too scarce comment is correct. However, the system definitely wouldn’t select a material that’s extinct. That much I can guarantee you. Well, it might really be something that only a real god can acquire, so you have to think about it carefully. Once you decide to use this technique, there’s be no turning back. You will have to use this technique, and changing to another one will be impossible.]

Rean and Roan nodded after hearing that. Perfection had never been something easy to come by.

Roan then asked something else. “By the way, Sister Orb. Our Soul Power and Divine Energy are fused together. Will we be able to fuse our bodies as well once we cultivate them?”

[That I don’t know. At the very least, the option isn’t available in the Soul Gem System. Then again, it’s not like you need the system to do it. You can devise a method yourselves in the future. Remember, the system isn’t omnipotent. It has its limits, which means you can do things it can’t do in the future.]

Roan agreed with Sister Orb on that. “It makes sense. And it’s also more interesting.”

Rean then asked Roan, “We were planning to buy the perception range with those points from the Dimensional Realm upgrade. If we buy the manual, we won’t have enough to buy the others.”

Roan nodded after hearing that. “It’s fine. Our personal strength has to be our main priority, so the technique should be our choice. We can accumulate more Destiny Points after that.”

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. “Well, if you say so…”
