System vs Rebirth

"Wait a minute. Grandma… I heard that the world was plunged into chaos when you died, but if you could protect this world, you could also destroy it. What if you were the one allowing these demons to invade this world so that the human race didn't go extinct?"

Noel couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious. If Milinda truly had the power to protect it by keeping away the demon invasion, she could be the one who allowed it to happen.

"Silly child." Milinda chuckled. "This is not part of the reward, but I think I can tell you a little bit about it."

Noel tilted his head in confusion. It seemed that he was wrong because he didn't have enough information to make a deduction. And it seemed that he wronged Milinda by accusing her of doing such atrocities.

Milinda said, "During the night, you could see the stars in the sky, right?"

"Yes." Noel nodded.

"What if I told you it's similar to our sun, but located far… far away from this world?"

Noel looked down, falling into deep thought. "Are you suggesting that the demon and the spirit come from a distant world?"

"You're very clever." Milinda nodded, satisfied. "The Spirit God is trying to extinguish the demons."

"If the Spirit God can even come to this world from a very distant place, can't he come directly to this place? Then again, why is the spirit here?" Noel fell silent.

"I can't give you that answer because it's not part of the reward. Grandma looks stingy right now, but I have to stick to the rule. But let's just say that your grandma has been maintaining a barrier to protect this world. And Ardagan is not a sword. It's actually an antenna that captures something from deep space. What does it attract?"

Noel contemplated for a moment. "The Spirits… demons… a barrier… Ardagan… antenna…"

It took Noel a few minutes before he could find the answer. "Don't tell me, Ardagan has been the antenna that is sucking the spiritual energy from the distant world. Or it might be the energy from the spirits themselves?

"You used that energy to create a barrier. Unfortunately, it all stopped the moment you passed away. As a result, the demons could finally enter this world, which marked the beginning of the end of civilization.

"Now that no one could control Ardagan to its fullest potential anymore, the energy that the spirits have ended up transforming into a manifestation of themselves.

"This is why the Spirit Seal becomes a link that connects humans to spirits. I can't put it in simple words, but it should be something like this." Noel gasped.

Milinda didn't show any response this time as if she didn't want to acknowledge or deny his answer. She truly stopped giving him information that wasn't related to the reward.

"Ah, I apologize for overstepping my bounds." Noel took a step back and politely lowered his head.
