Chapter 4181: Not All That Bad

Soon, Roan and the others were already outside, back in the concealing formation area that Mamato used to build the entrance of the Abyssal Path.

"No system, uh..." Rean couldn’t help but feel a little out of place. "Well, I guess we will have to get used to not having its skills anymore."

Roan ignored him, turning to Nyxara. "We are done here. Bring us away."

Nyxara didn’t mind. "Sure thing!"

Her Void Power accumulated, and they disappeared from that area. Nyxara had left a mark in the void, but near the Divine Realm, also near Dofrei’s home. Everything blurred for a moment, and then, they could already see the Divine Realm below.

At the same time, Rean took the chance to tell Default about everything that happened.

"You guys sure worked very hard." Defualt nodded. "Send a message to Dofrei and tell him and his disciples to come back home. We will focus on the Bubble Bursting Plan now. I’ll explain everything after he is back and everyone is gathered. Put the other Primordial Demon Beasts on the CDs as well."

His demeanor showed his countless years of leadership. Hearing him simply gave you confidence and the feeling of trust. He was kind like Roan, just not as cold.

"But before that," Roan interneved. "With the system gone, we need to check what we can still do."

Default smiled. "So you already noticed. Yes, the Control Orb is gone, and the system skills that required Celestial Points can’t be used anymore. However, the skills that were already active, the passive ones, are now part of you. They will not disappear."

A voice echoed from within the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm. [You could have warned me about that. My sentience being dragged away scared the hell out of me.]

Default was quite surprised. "Oh! Already awake? I thought the forced removal from the Control Orb was going to keep you unconscious for at least a few hours. Right! The Celestial Soul System also nourishes souls themselves. Your sentience is still a kind of soul, after all. You should have gained quite a bit during these years. The fact you woke up this fast is proof of it."

Sister Orb confirmed. [Yes, my own soul power is completely different from the time I first entered the Control Orb, but let’s leave that aside now. There are many things we need you to answer.]

"How about we settle in Dofrei’s home first, shall we?" Default didn’t refuse and simply pointed in the direction of the Divine Realm.

The twins’ group didn’t have a reason to refuse, so they reentered the Divine Realm again. They went for the main building where Dofrei lived, although he wasn’t there right now.

"Master!" Well, Dofrei didn’t take long to arrive, though.

Default was now in his humanoid form, seemingly enjoying a cup of tea. Hick was also there. It didn’t even look like the man had been imprisoned in a Great Void Black Hole, alone, for so many years. "Calm down, Dofrei. I’m not going anywhere."

Dofrei narrowed his eyes. Various memories came back to him as he looked at his master. "I know you didn’t inform me of your plans because of my loose tongue, still..."

Default shrugged. "And what else should I have done? Telling you would not only put things in jeopardy but also put you in danger. What kind of master would I be if I had done that? Well, danger is also necessary for one’s development, but in this case, it would just be meaningless danger. I understand if you don’t want to forgive me, though."

"Sigh..." Dofrei was helpless. "Such a long time, and you haven’t changed a bit."

Default poured another cup of tea. "Join me. Let’s have a little chat. Those twins shouldn’t take long to come back. Then we can start."

---

Rean, Roan, Celis, and Kentucky returned to the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm. Inside, Mamato reunited with all the Abyssal beasts. Well, the ones who were taken away from the home, of course. The twins didn’t bother the Abyssal Beasts for now.

Not too far from the Abyssal Beasts...

"How was it, Sister Orb?" Rean asked.

The mass of energy quickly answered. [Default wasn’t lying. As long as it is a passive ability and doesn’t need the system’s processing power or Celestial Points, we can still use it. I can see why. That’s because those passive abilities were not built into the system, but into the Dimensional Realm and yourselves.]

Roan pondered a bit. "But that also means the end of the hacking abilities, is that correct?"

[Correct. I can’t even detect the most common formations now. I do still have the knowledge, and I think I can help Rean with building and researching formations, but no hacking anymore. The hacking was highly dependent on the system’s processing power, after all. No control orb, no system, no processing power.]

"Just that you can help me with research is already more than welcome," Rean assured her.

"Well, I was still able to use the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm to enter and come out of it by the side of any one of you," Kentucky commented. "Seems like we can use it all over the Great Void still."

[Indeed. That was an ability connected to the Soul Connection Range, after all. The Soul Connection Range extended through the entire Great Void, so it makes sense that it still works. No processing power or Celestial Points were required before, nor are they now.]

Roan took a closer look. "Let’s see. The passive abilities that remained were the Cultivation Enhancement, Soul Connection Range, Sky Energy Cultivation Formation, Cultivation Technique, Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm’s auto expansion... and whatever was related to them, like the fact that we can enter and leave the Dimensional Realm from anywhere."

[Correct. However, as you can already imagine, the passive skills that could be upgraded now can’t be anymore. The Cultivation Enhancement was at Level Five, and without the system, it will stay like that forever. It is just a little sad that we weren’t able to use the Celestial Points beforehand. We could have bought those passives ahead of time.]

Roan went silent for a moment, then consolidated the new situation in his mind. "Alright. What is gone is gone. That will simply make us a little more like the other cultivators, while still keeping some of our perks."

Then, he looked at Rean. "Besides, just the fact I won’t have to fuse with this guy anymore is worth losing another ten systems."

Rean’s mouth twitched. "What a coincidence. I was also thinking the same thing."
