Death… And Me

Chapter 2490 Sanstin Continent

Noticing the silence on the other side of the call, Flinyu couldnʼt help but ask. ʼCould it be that you know Lahalan?ʼ

ʼWell...ʼ Rean then explained how someone sold him a Lahamina Earth Tree Core, and it ended up with someone who he believed to be Lahalan after them. 

ʼSomeone sold you a Lahamina Earth Tree Core? Thatʼs quite surprising. You did the right thing, though. If you didnʼt get rid of that core, you would definitely be pursued until the end of time by Lahalan. I can pretty much guarantee that it was indeed Lahalan who appeared before you,ʼ said Flinyu.

Rean nodded. ʼSo, what do you think? Should we try to contact Lahalan regardless?ʼ

Flinyu immediately gave up the idea. ʼContact him? If he knows it was you who got the Lahamina Earth Tree Core, then appearing in front of him is the same as asking to die.ʼ

Rean then had an idea. ʼCan you pass me his communication number, senior Flinyu? If it is just some talk through the communication system, then we wonʼt be at any risk.ʼ

ʼI can, but...ʼ Flinyu found it hard to work. ʼYou want to ask him about where you can find a World Swallowing Tree, donʼt you? Letʼs say he does talk. What stops him from telling you a lie and then ambush you in the location he passed over?ʼ

ʼThatʼs true,ʼ Rean and the others could see that happening. ʼSenior Flinyu...ʼ

ʼAlright, I know what you want from me,ʼ Flinyu didnʼt need to hear the rest to understand. ʼIʼll call him directly and ask for the information for you. Itʼs just a simple call that wonʼt use much of my time anyway. My master did tell me to help you, after all.ʼ

Flinyu then disconnected from the call.

While they waited, Rean looked at Celis. ”What do you think? If we get the information, do you still want to go and see this World Swallowing Cedar?”

Celis, who was now in his humanoid form, shrugged his shoulders. ”To be honest, I donʼt even know what to say. I just hope it doesnʼt become a battle for each oneʼs cores as soon as we see each other.”

”Even if it becomes a battle, we donʼt need to be afraid. Since the other side definitely isnʼt in the Divinity Realm, we can definitely fight it off,” Kentucky assured everyone. Flinyu did say that there werenʼt any Divinity Realm World Swallowing Cedars, after all.

”The problem is in case Lahalan decides to appear as well,” Celis mentioned. 

Rean was confident, though. ”Thatʼs very unlikely. What does acquiring the Lahamina Earth Tree have to do with wanting to know where you can find a World Swallowing Cedar? It doesnʼt make sense for Lahalan to come as well. Besides, we will change our appearances once again when we go see this World Swallowing Cedar.”

Everyone nodded. Sure enough, Flinyu called them back a few minutes later. ʼAlright, I got the information from him, although he seemed quite suspicious about my request. In any case, I assured him that I had no intention of causing any trouble to that World Swallowing Tree, who seemed to be on quite good terms with Lahalan. Iʼll pass you the location now.ʼ

Rean then received a message with the information necessary while Flinyu continued to talk. ʼWhether there are any risks involved or not, I donʼt know. This is all I can do for you at the moment, so Iʼm leaving now. Donʼt call me unless it is really important. Use messages as always.ʼ

Finally, the call was disconnected, leaving the twinsʼ group with the information about the World Swallowing Cedar. ”Letʼs see... This World Swallowing Cedarʼs name is Futuxei. He lives in a barren continent called Sanstin, in the Hogam Region. Where is Sanstin?”

Everyone checked the information in the communication system and quickly found it. ”Itʼs in the Demon Beastsʼ Territory, not too far from the Continents at the Center of the Realm of Gods.”

”That makes sense,” Celis said. ”World Swallowing Cedars need a ridiculous amount of energy to cultivate, so it would be very unlikely a Space-Time Realm Cedar would live far from the Center of the Realm of Gods.”

Roan didnʼt waste time and returned to the Dimensional Realm as he spoke. ”Flinyuʼs information said that that continent is still not within the communication system, so we will need to go there to talk with this Cedar. Letʼs not waste time and go.”

Celis quickly returned to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm while Rean scratched the back of his head. Once again, Rean would be the one doing the traveling part. 

Well, Kentucky was outside, too. ”Enough cultivation for me. Iʼm going with you.”

Rean smiled, knowing that Kentucky was probably close to suicide after a hundred and some years of cultivation nonstop. ”Fine, letʼs go together.”

Following that, Rean opened a Spatial Gate, connecting it to the nearest city with a Long-Distance Teleport Formation. ”Oh! Itʼs so easy to open Spatial Gates now. And I can connect the exit so far away...”

Kentucky raised his wing and blocked Rean, preventing him from entering the Spatial Gate. ”Wait, let me try too!”

Only then did Rean remember that Kentucky could also use Time Power. ”Alright, go ahead.”

Just like Rean during his first tries, Kentucky failed to open a Spatial Gate several times. Even when he succeeded, it was extremely unstable and didnʼt connect that far. Nonetheless, practice brings perfection, so they used it like that. Once on the other side, Kentucky continued to use Spatial Gates while Rean pointed the direction.

What Rean could have done with a simple Spatial Gate, Kentucky needed over ten of them to reach the same destination, let alone the much longer time needed. ”This is quite difficult...”

Rean smiled in response. ”You are already doing better than me during my first times. Try to imagine how annoying it was to use Time Power while still in the Elemental Space Realm. Trust me, you are doing great.”

Rean then descended to the city while Kentucky followed him. ”Iʼll keep trying after we come out of the Teleport Formation,” said Kentucky.

Finally, they paid the fee and left the Region. They spent ten years on this continent, but who knows if they would ever be back again.
