Death… And Me

Chapter 1740 Unnexpected Change

ʼYou can hear what theyʼre saying? How?ʼ Naturally, the twinsʼ attention was caught by Sister Orbʼs words.

[How else? By messing with the formations of this Jhiod Sect. Did you forget my power to take control over formations?]

ʼBut... wouldnʼt it have taken a lot of time? The higher the level of the formation, the harder it was supposed to be, no?ʼ Rean found it strange. ʼUnless...ʼ

Sister Orb laughed in response. [Hahaha! Seems like you figured it out. Thatʼs correct. Iʼve been working on this sectʼs formations ever since you two arrived. Of course, I did not meddle with the really complicated ones, like the formation that covers the entire sect. Those ones would definitely take way too long. However, simpler formations, like the Anti-Divine Sense formations built into specific buildings, were definitely within control range. The sectʼs guestsʼ room seemed like a very good thing to keep under control, so I already have the power to use it. So, do you want to hear the conversation? The Sect Master has just arrived with the guests of the Jamai Sect.]

Rean and Roan shrugged their shoulders in response. ʼIs there even a reason to ask? Go ahead, show us.ʼ

As the twins entered their residences, the images and voices of what was happening in the guestsʼ room entered their minds.

”Senior Yuivo, you can talk your mind. No one will bother us here,” Gean started the conversation.

Yuivo nodded as he took a sip of the tea served to him. Ramona did the same, leaving only Andrile looking with scorn at the tea served to him. However, he knew Yuivo would probably punish him if he complained again, so he simply didnʼt touch the tea.

”Good tea.” Yuivo smiled and finally started, saying, ”The reason we opened the spatial gate so early is that some things changed about the selection this year.”

ʼSure enough, it was the selection,ʼ Gean and the elders in the room thought at the same time. ”Could it be that it has been postponed?”

Yuivo shook his head, saying, ”If it was that simple, there would be no need for me to come here. We have given you guys a few talismans capable of transmitting messages through long distances like this, after all. We would have just used them instead of spending Rank Seven Divine Stones to open the spatial gate.”

Gean nodded, a little embarrassed. ”Of course, I should have noticed.” Well, he did notice it. He just asked that as a way of starting the conversation.

”Anyways,” Yuivo continued. ”The reason we opened this spatial gate so early is that the selection has been canceled. Instead, we will have the disciples that were supposed to take part in it do something else. This is also why I brought these two disciples with me.”

Gean and the other glanced at the two disciples of the Jamai Sect. They were sure about one thing regarding Ramona and Andrile. They definitely took the Void Shattering Pill when they were young. That also explained why they were so young, with their cultivation already being at the Space Bending Realm. They were probably in their twenties, and thirties would already be pushing it.

”I see...” Gean nodded. ”And what would it be about?”

”As you know, the Jamai Sect is located close to the center of the Realm of Gods. However, weʼre not there. We might look like powerful beings in the eyes of powers like yours, but weʼre far from the powers at the center,” Yuivo explained.

”Yet, our Jamai Sect has received a chance at relocation. Or, to be more specific, we have a chance to claim a small piece of land at the borders of the center of the Realm of Gods. Even if itʼs the borders, itʼs still inside the center of the Realm of Gods. Thereʼs one continent there that has been vacated due to a few reasons, and now itʼs currently free for some other power to take.”

Geanʼs group was shocked to hear that.

”Well, it is not really a secret, so I guess I can tell you a bit about it,” continued Yuivo. ”A continent in the center of the Realm of Gods isnʼt something that could simply be ʼvacatedʼ in the least. And that also applies to continents close to the borders. Another point is that even a war wouldnʼt cause such a thing to happen. After all, the winning side would have simply taken that continent for themselves.”

”With that being said, the most probable reason was that this continentʼs rulers did something that the real powers of the center of the Realm of Gods did not like. As a consequence, they were probably wiped out. It makes one wonder just what the previous rulers of this continent had done to receive such punishment, donʼt you think?” Yuivo asked with a pensive expression.

Geanʼs group couldnʼt help but feel nervous after hearing that. That kind of event was far beyond anything their Jhiod Sect had the capability to meddle with.

Yuivo didnʼt stop there, though. ”Anyways, although the continent right now is vacated, it canʼt stay like that forever. But then again, the powers that reside in the center of the Realm of Gods donʼt really care much for this place either. With that said, they decided that they would allow one of the powers from outside the center of the Realm of Gods to join them.”

Roan, who was listening so far, snorted after hearing that. ʼHmph! Itʼs better to say that they need a new dog that will wag its tails every time they say something.ʼ

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. ʼIn any case, itʼs definitely a big deal for powers like Jamai Sect. Iʼm pretty sure they will happily become a dog as long as they can get that continent. Becoming a dog is a price theyʼre willing to pay.ʼ

ʼTrue.ʼ Roan agreed with Rean on that.

If they could reach that conclusion, so could Gean and the others. Of course, they didnʼt say it in front of the Jamai Sectʼs elder. If they could, they would definitely become that dog themselves. ”I understand... but what does that have to do with our Jhiod Sect and the selection?”
