Death... and me

Rean immediately understood the lack of Spiritual or Divine Energy. "So that's how it is! No wonder there isn't any energy for cultivation whatsoever." Rean then remembered something. "Wait, if we are back, Roan, you should know where we are, right?"

Roan closed his eyes and concentrated on that connection he hadn't felt for so long. After a few minutes, he nodded. "Seems like my reincarnation on the other half affected the state of my soul. I can barely few the Organization. That's why I took this long to come out. Nonetheless, it is enough to at least travel there."

Kentucky, seeing that there was no energy around, couldn't help but ask. "Roan... Since there is no Divine Energy or even Spiritual Energy, how exactly did you travel in this Universe?"

Roan then extended his hand, and a kind of black energy began to form around it. Rean, Essefy, and Kentucky used their Divine Senses, but other than the fact they could feel its existence, they couldn't tell what it was. After a few seconds, Roan used that energy to build a door.

Only then did Rean recognize it. That was exactly the same kind of door that Roan opened to him back when they first met. At that time, he didn't think too much about it. After all, he was more concerned about not having his memories wiped out during the process of reincarnating. "That's quite impressive. What kind of energy is this? Could it be related to Devilish Energy since it is connected with this half's Underworld?"

Roan shook his head. "Back then, I've never questioned what kind of energy it was. It was just natural for me from the moment I was born. However, I've been to the Underworld of the cultivation side of the Universe with you, so I can guarantee the two are not the same. They aren't anything alike at all."

The door then opened, showing a tunnel of spatial laws that was covered by the black energy Roan was controlling. However, before anyone tried to enter it...

*Bzzzzzzz!*

The Black Energy went out of control, making Roan almost throw blood.

*Boom!*

The laws of space and the black energy then entered a chaotic state and exploded in the end. The energy of the explosion was quite strong, forcing their group several hundred meters back.

Roan then shook his head, not really feeling that surprised. "As I thought..." He then summoned a little bit of that black energy, but after a few seconds, it once again went out of control and exploded in his hand. It's just that this time, it had too little of it to cause any damage. "While I was learning how to control this energy in the past, my teacher and the other Death Spirits mentioned that this energy can only be wielded by Death Spirits."

Roan then gave up and looked in a certain direction. "I'm not a Death Spirit anymore. At most, I have a residual connection with my old race because of my memories." Of course, he also understood the Soul Gem System had a part in this. "This residual connection is enough for me to gather some of it, but I definitely can't use it like I did in the past. The door I had just opened was supposed to connect back to the Universal Transition Organization, but I wasn't able to make the connection reach even half of the way before it collapsed."

Rean nodded and looked in the same direction as Roan. "However, you still have this residual connection, so you definitely can guide us, right?"

"I believe so," Roan confirmed Rean's words. However, just when he was about to close his eyes and focus on that connection again, a sudden headache struck his mind.

*Ugh!*

Everyone looked at him, alarmed. "What is it? Are you okay?"

Roan raised his hand, telling everyone to stay away from him. "My connection... it is being taken away from me."

"What?!" Everyone was taken aback. "They can do it?"

*Arrrghhh!*

Roan's expression went pale, and he vomited even more blood. Right after, something that looked like a tiny spec of black sand came out of his forehead. Before anyone could react, that spec of sand dissipated into black dots of energy.

They all then looked at Roan, who seemed to be feeling a lot better now. Roan then gathered some of Rean's Light Element and used Rean's Instant Recovery Skill, quickly stabilizing his condition. However, his expression still looked terrible, although this time it was because he was angry. "My connection is gone."

If Roan could be said to have something related to the Death Spirits before, now he definitely lost everything. He was truly just another human who was born on the other side of the Universe.

Rean couldn't help but get a little nervous. "But without you, how will we find our way in this Universe? This Universal Transition Organization of yours is probably the only one that can travel long distances. Any other planet with living beings that we might find will have no idea about what we are talking about, let alone show us a path to return to the other side of the Universe."

Essefy was even worse. "Wait! That can't be, right? I mean, there is no cultivation energy on this side of the Universe, so what will we do? Sooner or later, our Divine Stones will be completely gone."

Of course, he didn't know that Rean and Roan's reserves of Divine Stones and even Divine Origin Energy were ridiculously high, so they weren't worried about that, at least. Not that they would tell Essefy that.

Roan quickly tranquilized everyone. "Don't worry. I lost my connection, and it was most likely forced away from me. Nonetheless, I was able to have a good feeling about its location. From now on, I'll be the one using Spatial Gates. We are going to pay a visit to the Universe Transition Organization, and I will also have a little chat with my master."
