Death… And Me

Chapter 3987: It Does Sound Good

Another reason you had to separate Kentucky, Rean, and Roan into three teams was the Divine Sense Bending Skill. If they wanted to start capturing the Time Plates, they had to make sure no one was looking. In their group, only Rean, Roan, and Kentucky can use the Light Bending Skill since it requires Light Element.

As long as a Divine Sense touched their Bending Skill, they would know someone nearby was watching. Since the Time Plates were supposed to be impossible to take away, it would be too weird if everyone started to see the twins’ group doing precisely that.

So, while avoiding the various other experts in the Future Realm, they also began to take the Time Plates into the Dimensional Realm. Of course, it was easier said than done. Even with the Divine Sense Bending, sometimes they would bump into someone who simply wasn’t using it. Making sure no one was watching was a nightmare, but they were pulling it through.

One plate, ten plates, a hundred plates, a thousand...

The Future Realm finally closed up, making it so that leaving in the same way they came became impossible. The Silver Lightning Bolts could now cause real damage, and not even Kentucky would dare go through them as they were now.

During this time, the twins’ group met several groups and lonely experts. They also saw quite a few battles, and some groups gang up on those with fewer numbers. The idea of eliminating future competition was very much the norm here.

They were also called by both the Qufis and the Divine Military Academy, since they made it look like both their identities were now inside. They wanted help, or they wanted to just check on them. Well, the ’asking for help’ part was mostly coming from the Qufis Alliance, who didn’t manage to get as many Space-Time Realm experts inside as they wanted.

At the end of the day, the experts came in here to cultivate, and those in the Divinity Realm weren’t very willing to spend all their time helping the youngsters. The twins’ group, obviously, ignored all requests, saying that they weren’t members of Qufis as always.

In the third year inside the Future Realm, the one who asked for their help was the Divine Military Academy, though.

”What do you mean?” Rean asked on his CD.

-You see, since we exchanged experts with Qufis, that also means their youngsters are under our protection,- Ximao explained. Only he and Krue’Suan were aware of that exchange until now. -They still think the academy should be responsible for the Space-Time Realm experts we sent to enter the Future Realm under their banner.-

”That doesn’t make sense,” Rean answered. ”Since you are protecting their guys who took our place, they have no need to ask us to do the same. You are already helping them more than enough. Why should we also step in? We are busy here, you know?”

Rean wasn’t the only one hearing; everyone was, including Roan. ”Also, they definitely didn’t expect that all six of us would manage to enter the Future Realm. At most, they thought one or two of us would make it. Yet, now, they say they need all six of us to step in to help keep their young ants from their Qufis Alliance safe?”

-Listen, I 100% agree with you all,- Ximao was just as angry. -But the fact was that this exchange was done in secrecy, and only Krue’Suan and I know about it. For everyone else, it is as if you passed the test as Space-Bending Realm experts and are cultivating normally. If we don’t want the Qufis Alliance to come to our door, you will have to step in with your Space-Time Realm fake IDs. This is something that could blow out of proportion, and that would be terrible news for you and me.-

Roan narrowed his eyes. Indeed, that would be quite the pain in the ass if the countries of the Runia Continent found out about this exchange. After all, there was no such thing as six Space-Time Realm experts from Runia taking part in this exchange. They were ghosts who really didn’t exist in the Divine Military Academy’s registries.

”Tch...” Roan clicked his tongue, nodding in the end. ”Fine, but it won’t be all of us. We are just as busy, and I’m sure they keep asking for help because their own top experts don’t want to spend all their time watching the kids. They won’t have the right to complain if we also separate our efforts into those who will help with the protection and those who will be doing something else.”

-Just what are you even doing anyway? Shouldn’t you just be cultivating?- Ximao was curious. It was obvious that cultivation wasn’t the only thing the twins’ group had in mind in the Future Realm. Of course, he also knew that the plan was to have an excuse to appear outside with their real cultivation levels, but he could see there was something else.

”That is not something you need to know,” Rean answered. ”Anyway, we will get three of us to go find the Qufis Alliance idiots while the other three will do whatever they were doing. Sounds good?”

-Yes,- Ximao quickly nodded. -That’s more than enough material for me to work something out with them. I’ll be waiting for your news once you join them.-

Rean then put his CD away, turning to Roan and the rest of his group. With the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm, gathering everyone in the same place only took a second. ”Alright... Roan wanted us to move as three duos, but that won’t work now.”

Roan agreed. ”Indeed. Who is going to watch the kids?”

”I’ll be one of them,” Celis immediately volunteered. ”I prefer to spend my time cultivating anyway. If I can stay still in one place, I can use the Starlight Formation inside the Dimensional Realm and get the Starlight energy to continue to cultivate for us.”

”Good,” Rean then looked at Foliana and Tanxan. ”It would be best if the two of you went as well. You can’t be used to open the portal to the Dimensional Realm anyway. Not to mention, you can’t use the Divine Bending Skill.”

”That’s fine,” Foliana saw that coming. ”Still, you had us stay together for a reason before. Will it be okay now?”

”Yes,” Rean nodded. ”Kentucky, Roan, and I will all move together from now on, so we will actually be two groups with three members each. It will be even safer this way.”

Roan narrowed his eyes. ”Let’s swap Tanxan or Foliana for you or me. Just like you said, the three of them can’t use Divine Sense Bending. There won’t be anyone with them capable of detecting the approach of higher-level experts.”

Rean pondered a bit, seeing that Roan had a valid point. ”That’s true...”

”In that case, Roan, Celis, and Tanxan will stay with the youngsters from Qufis. Foliana, Kentucky, and I will keep capturing the Time Plates. Does that sound good?”

No one complained.

”Then that’s settled.”
