Chapter 2047 Ask Away
Chapter 2047 Ask Away
“Let me start, then,” Roan was the first to talk. “Why did you let us inside? Sure, we got your name right by chance. However, was it really enough for you to open that gate? It seemed like it hadn’t been open for a very long time.”
Sesame nodded. “Indeed, the name wasn’t everything. First of all, you were the only ones to make an appearance. No one else has arrived at that gate yet due to reasons you are very familiar with. If not for this brat’s eyes, you would never have done so. As for the reason I opened the gate, it was because I felt a very familiar aura coming from you.”
“A familiar aura?” Roan narrowed his eyes. “Whose’s aura?”
Suddenly, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm trembled in the twins’ minds. The Soul Gem Orb then shined before a spatial gate appeared connecting to the outside world. Finally, the Orb exited the Dimensional Realm and appeared in front of everyone.
The twins’ group was shocked to see that. Yet, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky still remember that it had happened once before.
Following that, the projection of a small man with long hair appeared above the Soul Gem Orb. As for Sister Orb’s AI, she fell asleep while the Soul Gem Orb got active. “The familiar aura should be mine,” said the figure.
“Soul Gem!” Sure enough, that was none other than Soul Gem, who didn’t appear ever since the twins got the first Universe Foundation’s Fragment.
“Master!” Sesame opened his eyes wide when he saw the man. Although he had felt Soul Gem’s aura, he truly didn’t believe that Soul Gem was there. He was supposed to be dead, after all.
“Hey, Sesame. How have you been?” Soul Gem looked at the cat in front of him and smiled wide.
Sesame shot from his mat, trying to catch the man. Unfortunately, Soul Gem’s image was just a projection. He passed through the image as if it didn’t even exist. “This…”
Soul looked back where Sesame landed and shook his head. “Only my Soul remains. My body is long gone. I know I promised to pet you a lot when we met again, but the circumstances are as such.”
Sesame regained his composure before he looked at the twins’ group with hostility. “What did you do to master?”
They all felt a chill on their backs. If Sesame wanted them to die, they would die. There was simply no escape from this cat.
Of course, Soul Gem didn’t let it happen. “Don’t worry, Sesame. They are our friends. It was thanks to them that my Soul has been recovering over the past hundreds of years. Besides, it was me who got them into this boat, not the opposite.”
Sesame finally calmed down and looked at Soul Gem with a gloomy expression. “Master, what happened back then? The Extinction Orb almost destroyed the Universe, and you disappeared as a result. You didn’t allow me to accompany you during the day that the formation was going to be activated, so I don’t know much.”
One must remember that Soul Gem tried to use the Severing Formations Array to get rid of the Extinction Sphere that threatened to destroy the entire Universe. It was going to grow forever until it swallowed everything. (Chapters 698-700)
Gem sighed in response before he used his Divine Sense to explain everything to Sesame. “And that’s how I ended like this. I spent countless years gathering enough energy in this Soul Gem Orb before sending it to the other half of the Universe. I needed an existence of that side so that I could have a link between both sides. That will allow me to unify the two halves again. Of course, this is just in theory. I don’t know if it will work. For now, the twins are collecting the fourteen fragments of the Universe’s Foundation necessary for the plan.”
“This…” Sesame was truly shocked by everything he heard. “Master, I wish to go with you to help.” Still, Sesame quickly made up his mind and decided to help with this quest.
Rean and Roan were surprised to hear that. If they got someone like Sesame on their side, doesn’t that mean they will have someone with cultivation at the peak of the Universe? They are sure that Sesame is no weaker than any Elder Devil, Archangel, or Divinity Realm beings from the Realm of Gods.
Unfortunately, Gem immediately shook his head. “You can’t. We both know that your Soul is attached to this place. If you leave, your life will not last more than a hundred years. Coming back will not save you, either. Once you leave, the countdown will start, and no one can stop it.”
“I don’t care!” Sesame didn’t care at all.
“I care!” However, Gem wasn’t willing at all. “You are my friend. If helping me means you have to die, I might as well give up everything now. This is the end of this discussion and also an order. You must stay!”
Sesame dropped his head and could only nod with a sad expression. “Okay…”
“Ahem…” Finally, someone in the twins’ group decided to intervene. “So… It has been a few hundred years since we saw you, Gem. Sister Orb said that because you made your first appearance back then, your Soul fell asleep. Could it be you are fine now?”
Soul Gem was already expecting that question. “Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Just like the first time, it was my friend’s aura that helped me to wake up. Of course, I’m a lot better than I was back then. I should be able to stay awake for a few more hours before I get to sleep again. it is all thanks to the Destiny Points you accumulated.”
For the twins, that was more than enough. “Good! We wanted to talk for so long, but you simply didn’t appear. Now we can talk more about what exactly we are doing here since, even now, it has been quite a blurry journey.”
Soul Gem nodded. “Definitely. Ask away.”
