Death… And Me-Chapter 2471 Nope!

As the days passed outside, weeks went by in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Finally, Rean came out of it, heading straight for the treading center. There, he met with the same worker as before. "Hey there. Sorry for the delay. I was busy working on a few things," Rean said. "My Serene Gold Filaments should be here already, right?"

The worker quickly nodded. "Yes, sir. Please give me your badge so I can take your Merit Points," the worker answered. The process was quite fast as the filaments had already been separated for Rean. A few minutes later, the worker came back from the storage with a spatial ring. "Here. Please check if there are 1700 grams inside."

Rean smiled and quickly sent his Divine Sense inside. A smile soon appeared on his face as he confirmed the precise amount of filaments. "Great job!" Rean then threw another Spatial Ring to the worker and left.

The worker was taken aback for a moment and looked inside. There were quite a few hundred Rank Three Divine Stones inside. "Holy shit!" For Rean, at his level, such Divine Stones couldn't even be considered pocket change anymore. But for someone at the level of that worker, this was a fortune.

Rean returned to the hotel and, consequently, to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Thanks to the extra Gold Filaments, Rean was able to test a few things he wasn't before. He lost at least 200 grams of it, but the results he got were definitely worth it. "Now then... it should be about time."

Rean then teleported to where Sister Orb was. Roan just so happened to be waiting there as well. "Why wait until now to buy the upgrades?" Roan asked, puzzled.

"I wasn't fully adapted to the current level of forging and used to the equipment in the Blacksmith Workshop, so buying the next levels would have thrown me off my game," Rean explained.

"But you did forge our new weapons, didn't you?" Roan found it weird.

"I did," Rean answered. "However, our armors are far beyond the level of difficulty that our weapons were. I thought I was ready, but only after trying to upgrade the armor with the extra Serene Gold Filament, I noticed the last few flaws in my technique. That's why I needed a few extra weeks to get it right. This should also help in the elimination of the Extinction Sphere Energy from the Fragment later on, so it was worth the wait."

Roan nodded. "Then that's fine. Anyway, let's get over with it."

Immediately, Rean and Roan touched the Control Orb and sent their Divine Senses inside. Soon, the full list of upgrades available appeared in their minds. (Check Auxiliary Chapter 'Chapter Zero' if you wish to see the full list)

Their eyes first stopped on the Blacksmith Workshop.

[Soul Gem Blacksmith Workshop Upgrade Level 5 - 100000 Destiny Points]

"Sister Orb, how many Destiny Points do we have at the moment?" Roan asked.

[1533215 Destiny Points.] Sister Orb answered straight away.

Rean and Roan wanted to keep Destiny Points to buy the Yin Yang Cultivation Unbalance Domain. Unfortunately, that thing costs five million Destiny Points. Who knows how long it would take to accumulate that many points now that only quests could provide Destiny Points?

Rean didn't waste more time. "Alright, let's start with it."

[Soul Gem Blacksmith Workshop Upgrade Level 5 - 100000 Destiny Points]

[Confirm Purchase?]

"Yes!"

[Destiny Points: 1533215]

[Upgrade Commenced.]

Immediately, the Blacksmith Workshop in the distance is covered in silver light from Spatial Laws. Until now, the Workshop had kept the same size it had at level one, only adding more equipment inside as it was first created quite empty. Rean added many tools other than the ones acquired through the system, so it did get a little tight over the years.

However, the size of the silver light quickly expanded as the spatial laws mixed with other laws from the system's planet, creating a completely new workshop. The twins watched the show for over three hours until finally, the silver light disappeared, showing the new facility.

"That's quite a change..." Rean looked at the Workshop, now five times bigger than it was before. He also noticed countless tiny circuitry formation runes, and with his knowledge, he could tell which type they were. "Spatial Runes?" He murmured, which left him a little puzzled.

He didn't waste time and checked the system again as it always showed what each level provided once it was bought.

[Level 05 Blacksmith Workshop: This level makes it possible to move the entire Workshop outside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm while still keeping the system's features available. Warning: If the user moves too far away from the Workshop while it is outside, the Workshop will lose its effects.]

"It is like our System Sect that can be teleported in and out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm," Roan commented. "It's just that we left the System Sect back in the Dragon Race Territory a long time ago."

Rean was quite excited, though. "Can't you see? This ability resolved the main issue regarding refining the Universe Foundation Fragment. I couldn't bring the Fragment inside since the Extinction Sphere's Energy would damage the Soul Gem System. Now that I can bring it out instead, this problem is solved."

Roan narrowed his eyes. "But do you have what is needed to refine a Universe Foundation Fragment? You told me that you wanted to upgrade the Workshop exactly because you wanted to see if the system could provide some ability to make such refinement possible. The upgrade is complete, but the Workshop itself didn't gain any new ability or equipment."

"Well... that's true." Rean had to admit Roan was right. "Guess I will need to upgrade it again. Let's check the next level."

[Soul Gem Blacksmith Workshop Upgrade Level 06 - 500000 Destiny Points]

Rean sighed in relief. "Fortunately, we have enough Destiny Points. Perhaps there will be enough for the next level, too."

Rean then asked. "Sister Orb, would it be possible to tell what level 06 do?"

[Nope!] Sister Orb answered. [Same rule as ever. The abilities gained are only displayed after the upgrade is complete.]
