Death… And Me

Chapter 3185: Four and a Half Years



Rean was more careful to leave the area where the spaceship landed. There might not have been much protection in the space station since no one expects attacks coming from outside. Down on the ground, however, you never know if some rival powers might have some idiotic ideas. One of the space stations was from the Inquisition Hall, but the other two belonged to another two powers not related to it.

Rean felt the presence of a few Transition Realm Spiritual Senses, all quite close to the landing site. Fortunately, they weren't close enough to pierce his Divine Sense Bending Skill. As for seeing him with the naked eye, that was even more unlikely since he bent light around him, too.

The place he found himself is called Yondexis Country, which was controlled by the Yondexis Sect. This Sect was much more powerful than the World Splitting Sect, for example, easily seen by the fact they had their own space station.

After escaping the landing site, Rean got to the Capital of Yondexis City. He didn't leave straight away. Instead, he rented a room for himself while using another one of his fake IDs and got everyone out again. "Alright, everyone. Here we are."

Rifindio looked through the window at Kentucky, who was in his humanoid form. "Yondexis Capital, right?" Rifindio asked.

Rean nodded. "I came down by using one of their spaceships, after all. Rifindio, I will have you stay by my side and Kentucky's while traveling, using your Echo Location to make sure we aren't being followed or anything like that."

"No problem," Rifindio expected as much, considering how interested Rean seemed in his ability. He also preferred to stay outside. When he entered the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm, Sister Orb made it so he couldn't see or feel anything more than a few meters from his arrival position. That also included his special Echo Location. He couldn't move much either, so it was very constricting.

Spreading his Spiritual Sense over the area, Kentucky couldn't help but comment. "The cultivators seem quite excited."

Rean already noticed that, taking his CD out and showing it to them. "Well, obviously. Look here what is about to happen less than a year from now."

Kentucky and Rifindio took a look. Sure enough, the Divine Werdlem Stone Contest was very close. Over 400 years had really passed after they were swallowed by that Black Hole.

"Isn't it a bit too much of a coincidence?" Rifindio didn't have any interest in the contest since he had his Divine Werdlem Stone already, but he had to admit the timings were too suspicious.

Rean thought about it. "Indeed. That Black Hole or whatever it was dilated time for us, but for it to spill us out just a few years before the contest seemed weird. Let's not forget that monument that showed Closal as the main planet for some kind of event. Perhaps they are connected... or perhaps they have nothing to do with each other."

"Well, don't look at me," Rifindio assured. "I paid no mind to the Divine Werdlem Stone Contest when I came to look for you. If something is really supposed to happen or not, I don't know."

"Don't worry," Rean didn't mind. "We don't care much about it either."

"Rean, don't forget to call him," Kentucky quickly warned.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Rean took out his CD and selected one of the numbers he had saved there. "Let's hope Karev hasn't been captured after all these years."

The first thing Rean wanted to do was to make sure Karev was okay. After that, he would help Roan collect the rest of the materials of the pill.

-WHAT THE HELL?! I ALMOST DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE NUMBER! WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU ALL THESE YEARS?-

Rean couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha! Sorry, sorry. We had some issues and ended up traveling four hundred years to the future. How are you? Have you been captured or something?"

-Traveled to the future? What kind of bullshit is that? You know what, forget it. Quick, where is your spaceship? We need to leave before the contest starts. Things have been very weird recently, and I have absolutely no intention of finding out why-

Rean shook his head. "We don't have a spaceship. To be honest, we have just arrived in Closal after going out for a bit. Don't worry, though. We will bring you away as promised. Otherwise, we wouldn't have even come back to Closal at all."

Karev narrowed his eyes, wondering if that was true. Still, they were back, so it was something at least. Not to mention, Roan did help him tremendously back then with his cultivation technique and training. -Fine! Contact me when you are ready. I've been hiding all this while, but it is not like I didn't do anything. Also...- Karev stopped for a moment before continuing. -Tell Roan I'm grateful. Thanks to him, I reached the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm these last hundreds of years." Kare was in the Late Stage when the twins met him in the past. 'So he says,' Rean passed the message to Roan through their connection.

'Whatever,' and so Roan answered. 'It was all a deal, just that.'

A playful smile appeared on Rean's face. "Roan says he is very proud of your achievements. You surpassed his expectations and now believe you have a bright future."

Roan's mouth twitched. 'Just what the hell is wrong with you?'

'Many things! Hahaha!' Rean answered and cut his connection with Roan.

Karev spent some time with Roan back then, so he found it hard to believe. -Sure... whatever you say.-

Rean then changed the topic now that he knew Karev was fine. "By the way, don't forget you promised us Divine Werdlem Stones. You mentioned you knew where they were acquired on this planet."

-I will go fetch them when you are ready. Obviously, it has to be before the contest.-

Rean nodded. "Cool. So, what about the recent events? What did you mean when you said things have been weird recently."

Karev narrowed his eyes. -It started four and a half years ago.-
