Chapter 2419 That's Basically It
In the end, Roan couldn't help but ask it directly. "99%, you said. Then, what is this remaining 1% that you can't guarantee isn't related to the Chaos Source?"
Kafan then raised his hand, and the Black and Gray colored Death Energy gathered around his hand. "Say, other than you, were any of your friends who came with you capable of feeling Death Energy's existence other than with their naked eyes?"
Roan shook his head. "No. In fact, even I am almost unable to feel it anymore. When I arrived on this side of the Universe, something came out of my soul, and my capability of feeling it is pretty much gone by now. Was it you who removed that black grain from my head?"
"I will get to that part later," Kafan commented. "For now, you already confirmed that your friends can't feel the existence of Death Energy. The only reason they know it exists is because they can see it with their eyes. Yet, their bodies, Divine Senses, and Soul Power can't feel this energy's existence at all."
Kafan then shook his hand a bit, causing the Death Energy on his hand to dissipate. "That's basically why I can't say I'm 100% sure the Chaos Source doesn't have anything to do with the appearance of newborn souls from zero. I simply can't guarantee that there isn't some other kind of soul energy spread throughout this Universe that gives birth to new souls. A type of soul energy that is different from the soul energy acquired from the Reincarnation Path. A type of soul energy that, just like your friends and Death Energy, I can't feel the existence."
Kafan sighed. "Since I can't feel its existence, how can I guarantee that the seal I put around those pregnant females was blocking it? I also tried with eggs, of course, but it was no good. The rule behind any kind of blockage of energy is that you at least know what you are trying to block, right? In the end, I can't guarantee the Chaos Source of this Universe isn't able to produce this kind of invisible soul energy."
Roan had to admit that Kafan's words made sense. They had found so many types of energies during their cultivation journey already. Spiritual Energy, Soul Power, Devilish Energy, Heavenly Energy, Divine Origin Energy, Essence Energy... Even the Karma that Faeries uses to cultivate could be called a type of energy.
Fluki, the Continental Barrier Spirit that lives in Luan's soul, cultivates through Luan's virtues. In a certain way, Luan's virtues are Fluki's cultivation energy as well. Can Roan feel the energy of karma or virtues that faeries and fluki feel? No, he can't! That said, there might really be a type of imperceptible soul energy that gives life to new souls in this Universe. Thus, Kafan can't be 100% certain the Chaos Source isn't involved.
"This is weird..." Roan remembered something. "Let's suppose that souls that are born from zero do really use some kind of imperceptible soul energy spread around the Universe. It doesn't make sense that they are being born on this side. After all, the Chaos Source is on the other side of the Universe. "
Kafan shook his head. "It doesn't matter. There are many explanations you could give to circumvent this situation. For example, you could say that the source of this imperceptible soul energy is something else, not the Chaos Source. After all, doesn't Karma and our Death Energy here exist? Both of these are not coming from the Chaos Source."
"Or perhaps the source of this imperceptible soul energy does really come from the Chaos Source, and for some reason, this energy can traverse to this side, different from the cultivation energies. In the end, this guessing play had no meaning. Who knows? I might be wrong, and newborn souls from zero truly appear out of nothing. I hardly believe it, though."
"Sigh..." Roan decided to put this matter aside. "Forget it. You have researched this topic for who knows how many years and still haven't found an answer. What could I possibly find in these few minutes of conversation of ours? Besides, such information doesn't have much use to me anyway."
Kafan nodded. "It's good that you know. Nonetheless, perhaps this conversation of today will be the trigger to the truth of newborn souls from zero in the future. We will see. If you find out, make sure to come back and tell me."
Roan's expression turned serious once again. "Now, can you talk a little about what happened to me when I arrived? What was that thing in my soul that was pulled out? After that thing was gone, I began to lose my feelings toward Death Energy. Was it you?"
Kafan didn't mind Roan's suspicions. "It was not me. That was an automatic outcome, a result of your arrival at this side of the Universe."
Seeing that Roan wasn't convinced, Kafan continued. "Have you noticed that Death Spirits are basically a huge agglomerating of Death Energy with a different type of soul attached?" Roan nodded and waited for Kafan to continue. "That thing that came out of your soul was basically what kept your soul and your ability to use Death Energy attached to each other."
Kafan didn't stop there. "Every single Death Spirit has one of these tiny spec of black matter inside them. It's just that it is so small none of you can even feel its existence. A Death Spirit 'dies' when this tiny black matter begins to dissipate. That's why when a Death Spirit disappears, nothing is left behind. We call it Death Soul Core."
"I see..." Roan nodded. "And why did it come out from me after I arrived here?"
"It's because this Death Soul Core can only exist within a Death Spirit that uses Death Energy," Kafan explained. "Because you were on the other side of the Universe, this Death Soul Core was dormant due to the complete lack of Death Energy. You can call it a type of self-defense mechanism."
"After you got here, Death Energy was within its touch again. Unfortunately, a Death Spirit Soul didn't exist within it anymore. As a result, it lost its ability to keep itself intact. The reason it left your soul was simply because your soul was rejecting this thing, as you didn't need it anymore. You are a living being now. You don't need your soul to be attached to a Death Soul Core."
Kafan shrugged his shoulder. "It's just that this Death Soul Core was also the reason you could use Death Energy. Now, you can't anymore. End of story."
