Chapter 1567 First Upgrades

Chapter 1567 First Upgrades　　'So the underworld is indeed all around us. It seems like my connection with it really can't be established like on the other half of the universe,' Roan thought. Right after, he looked back at the altar and asked, "What kind of devil are you? Due to some circumstances, there weren't many that I was able to meet."

"So you really were just some small fry, huh?" the altar being replied. "Such a disappointment. Just go away already. You'll be of no help to me. I'll just wait for the time to leave this place on my own." The guy really thought the Dimensional Realm couldn't hold his existence.

Roan then touched the altar and said, "I can still destroy you with my Dark Element, you know? There's nothing my Dark Element can't get rid of in the Realm of Gods."

"Is that so? Why don't you try it, then?" The altar immediately challenged Roan back.

However, Roan smiled in response. "So you weren't lying. All you need is for this altar to be destroyed to free your soul." The altar being had mentioned that back during the battle.

"Hmph!" Seeing how he was caught, the being in the altar didn't continue to talk.

Roan, on the other hand, wasn't in a hurry. "Let's leave him alone for a while. I would negotiate to give him his freedom, but that would probably have us killed. For now, it's better to leave him there."

Soon after, Roan used the Dimensional Realm's power to move the altar into a small chamber. There, it would stay until the twins decided what to do with the guy. 

"Roan, are you still planning to head back to the underworld?" Rean asked once the altar disappeared.

Roan obviously nodded. "I think that's the place where I would be able to train the fastest. It's just that I don't know very well what the underworld of this half of the universe is like."

Rean nodded once he heard that. "Alright then. Let's wait until the guy finds out that he can't leave unless we say so."

Kentucky, Celis, and Sister Orb had only been listening so far, so one of them asked, "What are you planning to do now?"

Rean then looked at Sister Orb and said, "Well, first, let's use our extra Destiny Points, shall we?"

Roan agreed straight away. "That's a good idea."

They quickly touched the Soul Gem Orb and sent their Divine Soul Energy and Divine Sense inside. After that, the entire list appeared before them after they selected the reward system. Of course, this time, they only requested to see the things they could buy instead of everything.

[Nascent Soul Revival - 20000 Destiny Points]

[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Pass - 10000 Destiny Points]

[Energy Absorption Upgrade Level 5 - 50000 Destiny Points] (It will go to 25% when they buy it, they have 20% at level 4)

[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade Level 4 - 50000 Destiny Points]

[Yin Yang Bathhouse - Reward from Destiny Strugglers Title]

[World Essence Formation - Reward from Grade 2 Efficiency Title]

[Breaking Bounds (One use) - Reward from Breakers of Bounds Title] (Used)

[Soul Connection Range Upgrade level 5 – 50000 Destiny Points] (100000km) (New)

[Soul Gem Blacksmith Workshop Upgrade Level 4 - 10000 Destiny Points] (New)

[Soul Gem Alchemy Workshop Upgrade Level 4- 10000 Destiny Points] (New)

[Soul Gem Electrical Formations Repository Upgrade Level 4 - 10000 Destiny Points] (New)

[Destiny Perception Range Upgrade Level 2 - 100000 Destiny Points.] (1000000 kilometers at level one. 2000000 kilometers at level two.)

"Sister Orb, how many Destiny Points do we have right now?"

Sister Orb immediately answered, "Well, other than the 150k you got from the quest reward, you had another 20357. However, since you paid a free pass for that guy inside the altar, that's minus 10k. At the moment, you have 160357 Destiny Points."

Rean then looked at Roan and suggested, "How about we buy the next level of all three side occupations?"

Roan had to admit it was a good idea. Although Rean and Roan were already quite proficient with all three, the system wouldn't put it there if it wasn't something good. "Indeed. They're the cheapest upgrades among them."

Without wasting time, the twins immediately selected the options in the reward system.

[Soul Gem Blacksmith Workshop Upgrade Level 4 - 10000 Destiny Points] 

[Soul Gem Alchemy Workshop Upgrade Level 4- 10000 Destiny Points] 

[Soul Gem Electrical Formations Repository Upgrade Level 4 - 10000 Destiny Points]

[Total: 30000 Destiny Points.]

[Confirm purchase?]

"Yes!"

[Initializing upgrades.]

Immediately, the Blacksmith Workshop, the Alchemy Workshop, and the Electrical Formations Repository were covered by spheres of spatial power. Naturally, they were being upgraded by the system.

The twins waited there for over three hours until, finally, the upgrades were finalized.

[Upgrade concluded.]

However, the twins didn't go and check them. They could do it later since they had no intention to work with any of those for now. Instead, they went back to the reward system. There, they immediately noticed the next upgrade for all three side occupations.

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

[Soul Gem Alchemy Workshop Upgrade Level 5- 100000 Destiny Points] (New)

[Soul Gem Electrical Formations Repository Upgrade Level 5 - 100000 Destiny Points] (New)

"Holy shit! It jumped ten times in value!" Rean couldn't help but be shocked to see that.

Roan agreed with him, saying, "Whatever comes next, it's bound to be quite good."

Then again, there was nothing they could do about it. "Well, we'll find that out when the time comes. For now, we still have 130357 Destiny Points. What should we buy next?"

Celis, who was listening, immediately said, "Just buy the Energy Absorption Upgrade already. We need to get stronger, so what's there to even think?" As always, the cultivation maniac wanted to cultivate even faster. "Don't forget you already have me stuck at this level for years because you became statues."

Leaving aside that the twins didn't care if Celis had to wait or not, they had to admit there was nothing wrong with the idea. "Well, Energy Absorption it is."
