2085: Definitely Fake

Definitely Fake

With the exception of the twins, Celis, and Kentucky, everyone inside those Spatial Bubbles seemed to get frozen in time, including Luan. "Their time is not moving?"0

Roan shook his head. "No. If you pay close attention, they are moving. But it is extremely slow. Not even a hundredth of what they usually do. But then again, I believe that things are passing at a breaking-neck speed for them when they look outside their bubbles."

[Well, that solves the problem. We should have guessed that the system wouldn't simply let the living beings inside it die this easily.] Sister Orb said that, but she was the most nervous one a moment ago.

That seemed to be the case. Yet, there was one more character that wasn't affected by the Time Power. It was none other than Hex. The Golden Light was also present in his Spatial Bubble, but it couldn't affect his movements. "Hey, Hex seems to be fine."

Hex, who was seeing everything, didn't seem surprised. {I'm capable of controlling the time of the Universe Foundation Fragment, which is an item at the same level as this Soul Gem Orb of yours. Naturally, the Time Power deployed to slow me can't really do anything. Of course, if I wish to, I can let it go, and I will slow down just like everyone else. It's just that I don't want to.}

Rean looked at the runes around Hex and nodded. "Your time runes are moving just like I studied them. That's quite convenient. Still, I'm surprised the system suddenly showed the time power."

[We will still need to wait for the upgrade to finish and then use Hex's runes to be able to add the time-changing option to the system. Still, it is good to see that Luan was right. The system always had time-relating powers. It's just that we can't control it at the moment.]

Roan then sat in midair and closed his eyes. Since they couldn't do anything else other than wait, then he was just going to wait in silence.

Celis could still cultivate, albeit much slower. For him, though, it wasn't a problem, as cultivating was the only thing he loved to do.

Rean, on the other end, put his mind into the Runes that Hex had. He and Sister Orb continued to work with Hex and analyzed his runes. Because Hex was using them to not get affected by the System's Time Changing power, it became even better to study their right effects.

The only one lost seemed to be Kentucky... "This shit is so boring!"

Rean glanced at him without taking his attention away from Hex's runes. "Why don't you simply cultivate like Celis?"

"There is too little Divine Energy," Kentucky answered. "Besides, I've never felt any fun cultivating."

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "Your Regal Bloodline has a great effect on Spatial Powers, doesn't it? Try to train your Minokawa abilities. With so much Sptial Power running around while you are in a safe environment, it should prove quite beneficial. Perhaps it will help you unlock even more of your Regal Minokawa Bloodline."

Kentucky had to admit Rean had a very good idea. "Right! My bloodline. I can definitely use all the Spatial Power here for that." Kentucky immediately opened his wings and spread his Divine Sense. Surprisingly, the Spatial Bubble didn't block anything, allowing Kentucky to feel everything in his surroundings.

Rean faintly smiled and went back to his study of Hex's runes with Sister Orb. Just like that, time went by in a flash.

*Boom!*

Sister Orb said that the land would finish taking the shape of a planet in more or less two and a half years. However, one year into the transformation, something else happened.

The twins, Kentucky, Celis, and Hex, stopped to look above, where the fake Sun of the Dimensional Realm could be found. "It's growing..."

Indeed, the Fake Sun began to swell at a visible speed. Not only that, but the twins' group felt for the first time the warmth of the Sun reaching their bodies. So far, the fake Sun has only provided light to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. The temperature was controlled by the system itself. Feeling the warmth of the Sun was never an option.

Thanks to their ability to cover their eyes with Divine Energy, everyone there could look straight at the Fake Sun and watch it. The curious thing was that it was truly looking just like a real Sun now. That definitely wasn't the case in the past. "It's slowing down now."

The Fake Sun was the part that moved in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. It more or less worked like the Flat Earth crazy theories back from Rean's Earth. However, things were changing now. The Sun stabilized itself at the very center of the partially grown planet. It's just that it was much, much further away from the land than it was before.

*BRRROOOOOMMMMMMM...*

Suddenly, the entire land of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm began to tremble, surpassing any events so far. Spatial Power enveloped the land, forcing it to start moving. 

At the same time, the Spatial Barrier that separates the Dimensional Realm from the Spatial Sea outside finally reached its full size. Turns out that compared to the expansion of the Spatial Borders, the size of the soon-to-be planet was nothing. The range of the Spatial Border was many times longer.

The twins' group didn't take long to understand. "That's interesting. The Fake Sun has turned into a real Sun. As for our land, it is becoming a planet that is now starting to orbit the Sun at the very center of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm."

Sister Orb denied that. [No, it is still a Fake Sun.]

Rean agreed with her. "Sister Orb is right. A real Sun would need to have several times that size and mass to simply keep its own structure. If a Sun was suddenly created like that, it would just dissipate. It looks a lot more like a Real Sun, but it is definitely fake."
