Death… And Me Chapter 3997: Here Goes Nothing!

-Xyrath, is that even possible?-

Xyrath was silent for a mont before answering. "If it were possible, I would have done that a long ti ago. Unfortunately, all the Ti Plates have different starting points in ti. This ss is what keeps trapped here."

"You must have thought of sothing, right?" Kentucky asked. "You have been in this place for a very long ti, after all."

"Well..." Xyrath had indeed thought about it. "The only way I could have sothing working is if there is no possible future for the Ti Plate to display."

"No possible future?" Everyone got confused. "What do you an?"

Rean understood. "No possible future is only possible if sothing doesn’t exist in the first place. Simply put, Xyrath would have to die. If he is not around, there will be no Ti Plates. No Ti Plates, no possible futures, no Future Realm."

"Obviously, Xyrath could use the possible futures where he doesn’t die to save himself, since it has nothing to do with him escaping this place. So, Xyrath would need to choose to not use those Ti Plates to survive. He truly would have to choose to die of his own volition."

Xyrath confird. "That’s the only way I could think of so far."

-Absolutely out of the question!- Laiana didn’t even entertain that idea for a single second. -That’s not freedom. That’s death. I will not let you select that option.-

"Hahaha!" Xyrath laughed in response. "It’s not like you can do anything about it. However, don’t worry. I don’t intend to die, so I won’t do it. I’m a coward, rember? I’m only good at running, so how could I possibly choose to die?"

-That’s good to hear.-

"The problem is that there is no other way," Xyrath added.

"The Storm Wall is what keeps your ti plates desynched," Celis suddenly said. "Is there no way to break it?"

"If there is, I don’t know how," Xyrath said. "It’s not like I can go outside to check it."

[Hey, did you forget? Xyrath is inside our Celestial Soul Dinsional Realm. I can totally cut all his connections with the Plates and the Future Realm outside. If I do that, the Realm should collapse. Isn’t that enough?]

"Are you trying to kill ?!" Xyrath felt a chill run through his soul. "Do not try that shit! It already hurt a lot when you guys cut the connection with the Ti Plates you had here, alright?!"

"Then maybe capture all Ti Plates, bring them into the Celestial Soul Dinsional Realm, and then cut the connection to the Future Realm?" Tanxan thought. "If we do that, the Future Realm will collapse, but Xyrath should be just fine."

That reminded Xyrath of sothing. "Right! How co you managed to bring inside your Pocket Dinsional Realm?! With the difference in cultivation between you guys and , it should have been impossible! Your Pocket Dinsion should have collapsed straight away. No, even better, you shouldn’t have even managed to get to enter this Dinsional Realm."

[This Dinsional Realm is special. Things like cultivation differences don’t provoke any reactions. That’s the sa reason why we managed to bring you inside in the first place.] Sister Orb explained. The cultivation difference was indeed a problem in the past, but it was fixed after they upgraded the Dinsional Realm. The trait was kept even after the Soul Gem System changed into the Celestial Soul System.

"Is there such a thing?" Xyrath was surprised to hear all of that. "No, forget it. Seeing is believing. As hard as it is to accept, the fact is that you have in here right now."

Rean took the chance to ask again. "So, would that work? Can we bring all your Ti Plates inside, and then cut your connection with the outside world? That would cause the Future Realm to collapse. In fact, even if nothing happens to the Future Realm, since you will be cut away from its influence, you can work to align your Ti Plates again."

Xyrath pondered it. But ultimately, he shook his head. "That won’t work. The Future Realm is also a part of , and the Storm Wall is simply enveloping it while using its power. Unless you can bring the entire Future Realm into your Dinsional Realm, that won’t work."

Rean imdiately gave up. "That definitely won’t happen."

[Indeed. There is a limit to the size of things we can bring into the Dinsional Realm. Let alone the entire Future Realm, we wouldn’t be able to move even a single percent of it.]

"And that wouldn’t be the only problem," Roan added. "With the disappearance of the Ti Plates, the experts would notice sothing was wrong. It wouldn’t take long for the Tombassin Sect to send soone to check what is happening. That Celestial Realm guy might still be outside, and I highly doubt he doesn’t have a way to get inside, even if the realm is closed. It is too risky with no guarantees of success."

’Say...’ At that mont, Tony spoke. ’The problem here is that the tis inside the Ti Plates are not aligned. They are showing different possible futures that start at different points in ti. Are they always showing the sa number of days, weeks, months, and years ahead?’

Tony hadn’t spoken in a while, so Foliana was surprised to hear her Werdlem Stone’s Spirit again. "Do you have an idea?"

Tony didn’t answer, waiting for Xyrath’s words.

"Well... yes..." and Xyrath gave him his answer, but he also didn’t know what Tony was thinking. "At the mont, the furthest possible future being shown inside a Ti Plate starts 537 years later."

Tony continued. ’And they never change, right? They are always showing that sa amount of ti in the future, aren’t they? This Ti Plate you ntioned, 537 years, is always 537 years, correct?’

"That’s correct," Xyrath confird.

Then, Tony spoke about his idea. ’How about letting you catch up?’

Xyrath understood, but disregarded it. "Catch up? That won’t work." He knew that Tony wanted him to catch up to the ti inside the Ti Plates. But for that, the future shown inside the Ti Plates couldn’t move anymore. Eventually, he would catch up to the ti of all plates as ti passed. Since the Plates couldn’t show the past, he would have them all back at the sa point in ti. "I can’t stop the ti inside the Ti Plate. The Werdlem Empire made sure I wouldn’t."

’Exactly,’ Tony knew that. ’The effects of your confinent make it impossible for you to control the futures inside the Ti Plates in the Future Realm... but that’s a problem in the Future Realm. Say, everyone, where are we?’

"AH!" Everyone’s eyes lit up. "Sister Orb!"

[R-Right! Right! Xyrath, I will cut the connection of all the Ti Plates inside our Dinsional Realm to the Future Realm. Only you will be connected to the outside, so the Future Realm doesn’t collapse, and you don’t die. See if you can control the Ti Plates inside our Dinsional Realm.]

"Y-Yes! Go ahead! Just make sure you don’t cut my connection with the Ti Plates and the Future Realm outside. Otherwise, I could truly drop dead right here and then." Xyrath said, feeling nervous.

It only took an instant for Sister Orb to do it.

[It’s done!]

And Xyrath felt it instantly. "Okay! Here goes nothing!"
