Chapter 2058 Crashed
"Let me guess, he saved you, and you decided to accept Gem as your master," Roan suddenly intervened.
"Hahaha!" Gem couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Not at all. The first thing Sesame did when I set him free was to gather the power of this land and attack me and my group. That was truly a scary moment."
Sesame couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard that. "Can you blame me? Everyone only cared about my Pixiu Race's abilities and wanted to use me. After you set me free, the first thing I thought was that you wanted to use me as well."
Gem shrugged his shoulders. "Hey, I do think your abilities are very useful. You weren't wrong there. I just never had any intention of forcing anyone to do something they didn't want to."
Sesame brushed the situation aside. "Ahem, let's forget about that part, shall we. In any case, a lot of things happened, and I got to trust Gem before taking him as my master. I even reached the Divinity Realm, thanks to his help. At this level, if I wanted to flee, no one would be able to stop me. Still, Gem never showed any signs of using me, so I stayed. I'm very thankful to him."
Sesame didn't stop. "So, after this land fell into the Underworld, I was obviously forced to come with it. Because it was a facility of the old Vruve Organization, it was very well protected. That wall you passed through when I received you was built by them while I was given full control over it."
"This is your home, your land, and your life. It's only natural that I gave you the ultimate control over all the formations in this place in exchange for the use of the environment." Gem nodded as if he was simply stating a fact.
Sesame smiled and kept talking. "Gem then stroke a deal with the forces of the Underworld. This place might have lost its value to be a research facility for the Vruve Organization, but he wouldn't just let the Devils attack and destroy everything. The Vruve Organization was, together with the Wafrol Forces, one of the strongest organizations in the three higher realms. They also had some Elder Devils within their ranks, so it wasn't hard to set this process."
"Nonetheless, this is the Underworld. No more Divine Energy was generated in this place. All that could be done was to use the formations set up by the Vruve Organization to keep the Devilish Energy out. Gem was the one who helped me to modify them to use the Divelish Energy itself to keep Devilish Energy out."
"It wasn't a big deal," Gem didn't mind. "We got everything done in just a few years after the situation stabilized. For us cultivators, a few years are nothing more than a blink of an eye. Not to mention that you learned how to use, build, and repair these formations yourself, so you would eventually succeed in changing them on your own."
Sesame nodded. "Anyway, that's why you can't feel any Divine Energy whatsoever, yet the plants here continue to live normally. All their Spirituality was gone with the lack of Divine Energy, but most could live without it anyway. The same went for the humans and other living beings in the area. Just like any other place in the Realm of Gods, you will find those settlements with low-level cultivators and things like that."
"The only difference is that the people and demon beasts here can't even cultivate. Most of them have completely forgotten that it was even possible after so long. I also didn't show them how to do it since there wasn't Divine Energy anyway. Well, I don't think the people outside are unhappy. If anything, due to the lack of danger, people here have been living calm lives for many generations. I just make sure to keep their count the same."
"No overpopulation, right?" Roan could imagine the reason.
Sesame nodded. "That's correct. This area is very big, but if you let humans procreate as they wish, they will eventually consume all the resources in this place. At my level, targeting the women's ovaries and sealing them with my Spatial Power is an extremely effortless task. Of course, I only do it after they get two children of their own. If they never do it, I never intervene. For them, it has become a natural occurrence that all women can only have two children."
Rean couldn't help but think. 'Sesame would make a fortune back on Earth with this anti conceptional ability of his...'
Sesame felt it funny when he explained it himself. "Ahem, as a result, you could say that the humans in this village enjoy quite a lot of, you know, reproduction with no reproduction actions. No risk of ever getting more than two children, after all."
Roan only saw the part that mattered, as always. "It is a well-thought system. Very efficient."
Sesame also mentioned the other races. "As for the demon beasts, they are not intelligent since they can't cultivate to reach that level. They keep the balance of their own population naturally."
"Alright, we understand that it might as well be considered a small paradise. But let's go back to the task at hand. What about the Universe Fragment?" Gem obviously didn't forget his first question, especially since that was part of the history that he didn't know.
Sesame nodded. "I was just as surprised as you were, Gem. Thanks to the deal you did with the Elder Devils of the Underworld, this place was left alone, especially since we let the Elder Devils come from time to time to confirm that we weren't doing anything out of the ordinary here. There was also the swamp around this place, so not many Devils came to bother us anyway."
"However, everything changed the day your Vruve Organization targeted the Extinction Sphere. That day, something that seemed like a meteor crashed at the very center of this region."
