Death… and me

Chapter 672: Meeting

Roan was not brought to where the kids with high Soul Purity were located. But instead, he was delivered to some kind of research room. There, one could find a few of the elders from Soul Rulers already waiting. As soon as they saw Roan, their eyes lit up. 

“Is this the human you talked about?” one of the elders asked, who seemed to be the leader of the group.

Gila immediately nodded while maintaining a respectful expression as she replied. “Yes, Elder Puan.” Following that, Gila passed the same deep blue oval gem for Roan to hold. Sure enough, it lit up with bright blue light.

*Wow!*

All the elders were surprised to see that. After all, it was the first adult human with high Soul Purity they had ever seen.

“Impressive. Would we be able to replicate it?”

“I don’t know. But there’s a chance, right?”

“He also has quite good cultivation for his age. It might be related.”

The elders discussed some things while Roan simply stood there with an indifferent expression.

Eventually, Puan raised his hand to stop the others from talking. “Alright, Gila. Start talking about everything you know about this human. The more, the better,” Elder Puan said as he used his Spiritual Sense to inspect Roan.

Gila nodded and began to go over the information she had. He was a twin, and his brother had the same trait. Other than that, both brothers had a never seen before Light and Dark Element Affinity. She then talked about the information given to her by the Asume Clan, which concluded her report.

“I understand.” Puan nodded as he narrowed his eyes, asking, “However, where’s his twin? You couldn’t have left him behind, right?”

Gila shook her head, replying, “Of course not. He came with this human as well. However, Sevinia got the Organization Head’s permission to take one of the twins for herself. From the looks of it, the other twin has some incredible talent at formations, and she wants to use them.”

“You’re kidding, right?” Puan found that hard to believe. After all, they were talking about adult humans with high Soul Purity. “How could the head accept that?! These twins might be the breakthrough we’ve needed for the Bloodline Trials. Isn’t he being too biased towards Sevinia?” Puan was fuming in anger as he thought about it.

However, he quickly calmed down as he remembered something Gila mentioned, “Wait, both twins have different Elemental Affinities?”

“Yes,” Gila confirmed straight away. “This one has Dark Element Affinity, while his brother has Light Elemental Affinity.” She could see that Puan also understood the problem with the twins.

One of the elders sighed as he shook his head, muttering, “Light and Dark…twins…Elder Puan, the chances that their High Soul Purity is linked to these two factors is…”

Puan raised his hand again, stopping that elder from talking as he responded, “I know. If their Soul Purity is related to this, there’s no way we can possibly replicate it.”

Zasfins would also have offsprings that would be born with some weird elemental affinity, not just humans. Of course, they were just as rare. Nevertheless, they never cared that much about them. All they knew was that such an offspring would not be able to pass on their Elemental Affinity. They forced humans with these rare Elemental Affinities to procreate as many times as possible, using many different methods. But in the end, these Elemental Affinities didn’t carry over to their offsprings either. Be it back in Sunkan Planet or in this planet filled with Zasfins, the fact still stands that none of them could control the Elemental Affinity one was born with.

“However, let’s do a few other tests. We need to check if there is anything else different with his Soul.” Puan was unwilling to give up so soon. “Also, try to convince that idiot that we need both twins.” Although Puan said that, he was pretty sure that Rean was a lost cause already.

Roan was listening to everything since they didn’t care about hiding it with Spiritual Sense messages. However, he didn’t seem to care either as he said, ‘Sister Orb, I’m counting on you.’

[It’s so rare to hear that from you. Well, Sister Orb here is happy. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure they won’t find anything different within your Soul at all.]

Roan mentally nodded and let the elders there do whatever they wanted.

Back at Rean’s side, he was brought into another building where the concentration of Spiritual Energy was even more terrifying. ‘Such extravagance. There’s no way they can make the concentration of Spiritual Energy be this high with Rank Four or Five Spirit Stones alone. They must have a way to control the planet’s natural spiritual energy.’

Sevinia didn’t know what Rean was thinking, nor did she care. She simply looked at her daughter before asking, “Are you absolutely sure that he has the abilities? This is nothing but a human. I find it hard to believe that he’s such a genius.” Sevinia couldn’t help but think about her compromises to get the Organization Head to accept her request. If Rean turned out to be useless, she would definitely fall from favor.

“Don’t worry, Senior.” Surprisingly, Rean was the one to answer her question. He needed to obtain enough trust to get close to the Soul Stone Formation…if there was really one anyway. That being said, he had to take the initiative. “I definitely don’t want to die. Also, I consider this as a great opportunity for a puny human like me. I’ll do my best to not let the Zasfins down.”

Ophele and Palaris were satisfied to hear that. If he suddenly decided to not help anymore, it would make things complicated. They might be able to use torture and other methods to force him to speak. However, it would obviously be much better if he worked out of his own volition.

Ophele then assured her mother. “That’s right, mom. We already check his aptitude with formations. I believe it will greatly help with the Bloodline Trial Control Formations in the future. As a human, this is the greatest honor he could ever have.”

Palaris also nodded, saying, “I’ll be sure to show results. Just what he showed so far is enough to convince anyone who might come complaining.”

Sevinia faintly smiled as she nodded, responding, “Very well, I’m counting on you two. Make sure this human doesn’t go to waste.”
