Death... and me

Rean then thought about a possibility. "Does that mean the greater the Dimensional Realm increases in size, the higher the Concentration of Divine Energy will become?"

[Yep. You have to thank Celis for that. The saplings he left here will increase in numbers together with the Dimensional Realm's level.]

Naturally, Rean's group was obviously pleasantly surprised by that. "That's great! Although 40 to 50% more Divine Energy still doesn't compare to using Rank One Divine Stones, it isn't that far either. Besides, it's completely free."

Roan was also happy for another reason as he looked at his herbal garden, saying, "With more natural Divine Energy, the higher the level of my herbs will become over time. Truly a good upgrade this last one is."

On the other hand, Celis shrugged his shoulders as he was in his human form. "Well, since I have a lot of Divine Stones to use, this upgrade won't change anything for our cultivation. In any case, it's not bad."

Rean then pondered over it for a bit and thought about Havek. "Hmm... I'm pretty sure Havek would love to take part in this. However, his cultivation is higher, not lower than ours." That meant Rean would need to spend 10000 Destiny Points to give him a free pass into the Dimensional Realm.

Roan didn't seem to mind, though. "Just go for it. With the things Havek can bring to the table, he will make up for the 10000 Destiny Points you spent to allow him inside sooner or later." Indeed, he was thinking about the advantages, not Havek himself.

Rean then accessed the Soul Gem Orb's reward list and immediately gave Havek a Dimensional Realm Pass. They still had a little more than 30000 Destiny Points, after all. Following that, he left the Dimensional Realm for a moment before returning with the Sea Chilling Spirit by his side.

"Oh! So this is the Dimensional Realm you kept telling me about." Havek was surprised that the twins had access to such a huge place. "Hey, is that the Circuitry Formations Repository?"

Only then did Rean remember something. "Oh, right! We also upgraded the side occupation buildings. Havek, let's take a look at the repository. Other than the things I told you about, there should be something new there that none of us have seen yet."

Havek didn't need to hear it twice before he flashed in the building's direction with Rean.

Sister Orb then looked at Roan, who didn't seem to be in a hurry to see his new alchemy workshop. "Have you decided to bring more beings into the realm, then?"

Roan nodded in response. "If they sign the contract, we can use a working force to develop this Dimensional Realm. After all, it has everything a world has. Divine Energy, water, fertile land, and so on. It truly looks just like a real world, just more rudimentary."

Roan then pondered over something for a bit. "I guess the first thing we can use a working force on is to create an army."

"An... army?!" Celis and Kentucky were taken aback. "That's quite a jump, no?"

Roan agreed with them. "It is, but it's possible with our resources. Since they'll have to sign Soul Binding Contracts, loyalty won't be a problem."

[Correction. Loyalty won't be a problem until they reach the Void Tempering Realm. After that, one is able to use their new spatial powers to break the seal in the soul. You better be careful about that.]

Roan, Kentucky, and Celis nodded in response. "We will. In any case, we will start with low-level cultivators. No one in the Elemental Transformation Realm would be willing to live in this place, after all. Only those with low talent and no backgrounds would probably take this deal. By the time they reach the Void Tempering Realm, Rean and I will be much further ahead. Besides, they won't be able to do anything with the Dimensional Realm itself. After all, Sister Orb is the same as god in this place. Cultivation matters not."

Kentucky then remembered something, saying, "The devil soul said that beings at the center of the Realm of Gods also have their own personal Dimensional Realms. It won't be anything that surprising in the future."

"That's true." Roan had to admit Kentucky was right. The question was, how long it would take for them to get there.

Roan then turned around and made his way to the alchemy workshop. "You guys can do whatever you want. I'll go take a look at the upgrade of the workshop."

Meanwhile, Rean and Havek were already discussing Circuitry Formations.

"I wasn't wrong. You got the introduction to Circuitry Formations, but most of the ideas here are something you came up with by yourself," Havek said. "The information here is indeed a treasure, but your own talent for formations can't be denied."

Rean laughed in response. "Don't forget that the first one to come up with the communication system was I. There was no such thing as the Circuitry Formations' Repository when I started to work with it."

Havek couldn't help but ask, "So, what is this new upgrade you talked about? Is it also inside this information sphere?" One must remember that the repository was mostly empty. All the information was accessed by touching the sphere located there with Divine Sense and Energy.

Rean nodded in response. "It should be. Anyone can see it, so let's take a look." Rean and Havek then looked inside once again, and sure enough, a new option was available.

[Introduction to DPUs.] (New)

"DPUs?" Rean and Havek were confused. Well, they immediately selected the option to see what was contained inside.

Havek was still confused when he read the full name. However, Rean couldn't help but get excited. "Divine Processing Units! So it's basically the same as CPUs but just for Circuitry Formations! This is great!"

Havek couldn't help but ask after hearing that. "What's so great about it?"

Rean smiled in response as he explained, "For example. Do you remember just how many things we would need to do for a Circuitry Formation to work as we want? All the orders, parameters, and whatnot? With a Divine Processing Unit, all that work can be carried out by this thing alone! Not only that, the resulting formation will be much, much more powerful." Back then, Rean thought about the concept of SPU, Spiritual Processing Unit. He even added some new methods similar to programming into the formations. However, it was the first time the real deal appeared in front of Rean.

After being told what DPUs were, Havek could obviously see the prospects in that. "Now, that's what I'm talking about!"
