Death… And Me

Chapter 3201: Reanʼs Warning

Clansto, Tiaba, and Jue were obviously surprised by everything Rean spoke about. They had many questions, and Rean answered to the best of his abilities. It goes without saying that hearing Reanʼs group were once in the Divinity Realm was the most shocking of them all. Still, they eventually calmed down, and whether they believed or not, time would tell.

Once all the talking about the twinsʼ group past was over and they had time to organize their minds, the topic finally could change to the present time. ”Rean... or should I say Senior Rean?”

Rean laughed in response. ”Hahaha! Rean is just fine. I am indeed many times older than you guys, but I respect you all in the same way as my companions. In fact, this ʼseniorʼ thing makes me feel weird, so donʼt do that.”

Clansto nodded and asked. ”So, Rean, what are you planning to do now? Roan mentioned something about not leaving us behind.”

”Exactly,” Rean answered. ”As I said, the Divine Werdlem Stone Contest will not be held here for the same reason as the past. I might be wrong, but Iʼm pretty sure that everyone, maybe even this planet itself, will be sacrificed. It might be for the sake of what is inside that Dimensional Realm. Thatʼs why we need to leave before everything comes down.”

Clansto took a deep breath. ”And what about everyone else?”

Rean couldnʼt do much for them. ”It is not like I can save an entire planet as I am now. Above all, we are considered invaders. If we intervene in such a big operation, too much attention will come to us. We need to leave silently, especially since everyone thinks we are dead.”

Tiaba had a sad expression, thinking about all the people she knew. ”There is no way to save this planet?”

Rean sighed. ”It is not like we canʼt do anything, but that we canʼt risk it. Roan, Kentucky, and I already have our own Universe to worry about. We have been trapped in that Black Hole for over four hundred years, so what happened to our home? We need to leave as soon as possible.”

Tiaba wanted to say more, but asking Rean to risk his life for the sake of their planet while Rean had to worry for an entire Universe instead simply didnʼt make sense. ”I... I understand.”

Jue got up, refusing to accept it. ”No can do! I will not leave!”

Clansto glared at him. ”Shut up, brat. What do you know? What do you even intend to do with this puny Core Formation Realm cultivation of yours?”

”There has to be something! What about spreading the news of what the Inquisition Hall really intends to do? If we manage to do it, no one will come anymore. There wonʼt be enough energy, and ultimately, their plan will fail!” Jue spoke his mind.

”You are supposed to be older than me, and yet you are so naive,” Rifindio spoke on the side.

Kentucky patted his shoulder. ”You canʼt compare the two of you. Jue lived in this city and, at most, visited the nearby cities or maybe another country. You, on the other hand, came from the Supreme Palace. You know a lot more than he could ever hope to.”

Rean tried to explain to the young man. ”The only reliable method to spread information is to use the Werdlem Network of Closal Planet. Now then, who do you think controls the Closal Planetʼs Network?”

”The Inquisition Hall...” Jue murmured unwillingly.

”Exactly,” Rean nodded. ”Even I canʼt do anything about it. The Network is part of the entire Werdlem Empire System. It is simply impossible for me to take control of it and spread the news. First of all, if anyone truly became able to do such a thing, that would be a huge Red Flag to the Werdlem Empire, and the main Universe would definitely send powerful experts to investigate this issue.”

Talking about Universe-wise powers made Clanstoʼs head spin. He was someone from a single mortal planet. Still, he understood the issues behind it. ”For Rean and his people, intervening is the same as asking to reveal themselves, possibly being killed. It is already great that they came to us and are offering a way out. Hey, they are even offering to bring us to the Divine Realm.”

Jue gritted his teeth. ”Mom, Dad, actually, I met someone. I canʼt leave this place and let her die like this without even knowing what will happen.”

Clansto and Tiaba looked at each other. ”You do know that you shouldnʼt have hope for the women of the Gozen Sect, right?”

”That reminds me,” Rean couldnʼt help but intervene. ”How did Tomoe turn into the Sect Master of a Dual Cultivation Sect?”

”That you better ask her yourself,” Clansto didnʼt speak, nor did Tiaba.

Jue didnʼt like how they seemed to ignore him. ”Iʼm being serious here! Iʼm not leaving without her, even if she is from the Gozen Sect.”

Rean shrugged. ”Oh well, one extra person wonʼt make much of a difference. Iʼll give you a chance. If you can convince her to come with you, I donʼt mind bringing her to the Divine Realm as well. However, you must not mention where you are bringing her. Naturally, you canʼt talk about me or my friends either. If she still decides to go with you, then I can believe she truly wants to be with you.”

”This...” Jue didnʼt know if he could convince the girl without bringing out the whole information.

Yet, Rean warned him. ”Iʼll keep my Spiritual Sense on you during my time in this city. If I see you saying a single word that you shouldnʼt, I will have to end her life. Between your girlfriend and my family, I think you know which one I will choose. And donʼt think that I canʼt read your Spiritual Sense Messages because I can. You wonʼt be able to tell her anything without me knowing.”

Jue felt a chill on his back. After talking for so long and seeing Reanʼs groupʼs relaxed behavior, he almost forgot that he was talking with old monsters. ”Al-Alright...”

”Good!” Rean was satisfied with the answer. ”Now then, Clansto, Tiaba, Iʼm going to pay Tomoe a visit. Iʼll be back once I finish it with her.”
