Death… And Me

Chapter 1586 Logu

Rean exited the Dimensional Realm and returned to the city with Gustav. Since he was in the Transition Realm, he didnʼt need to pass through the gate. Instead, he just flew over it and headed straight to where Gustav lived before. The city was still enormous, so Gustav didnʼt really know it all. Rean had to return to somewhere close to where he lived so that Gustav could show him the way from there.

”So, where to?”

Gustav looked around before he dashed away, saying, ”Through here, uncle Rean.”

Rean laughed after seeing that. He could have just flown with the kid, but the kid completely forgot that.

They ran through the streets for around 30 minutes. Eventually, they arrived at a rundown place where one could see quite a few poor people. Every city had such things, and the Realm of Gods was absolutely no exception. It was then that Gustav stopped in front of a tree in an open area. ”Grampa Logu would usually come here once a day to relax. If we wait here, we can definitely see him sooner or later.”

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he said, ”How about you use your Divine Sense to show me his appearance. I can then look for him with my own Divine Sense.”

Gustav was surprised to hear that. ”Uncle Rean, how big is your Divine Sense?”

Rean smiled before answering, ”At my current level, my Divine Sense can reach up to 10 kilometers.”

”Whatʼs a kilometer?” Sadly, Gustav didnʼt receive any education, so he didnʼt know the concept of kilometers.

Rean pondered over it for a bit before saying, ”Do you remember that shop of treasures at the entrance of this area?” Gustav nodded and waited for Rean to continue. ”My Divine Sense can reach a little further than that.” The shop was almost at the limit of his Divine Sense range, so it was a little less than 10 kilometers. It was 8 kilometers back when Rean was in the Peak Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm. Surprisingly, his range increased an entire two kilometers from the breakthrough alone.

Sure enough, Gustav looked at Rean with a shocked expression. ”So biggggg! Will I have such a huge Divine Sense in the future?” The kid obviously wanted to do that.

Rean nodded in response. ”As long as you train hard in our sect, one day you will get strong enough to spread your Divine Sense to this distance.” He then returned to the main topic. ”So, can you tell me what this Grampa Logu looks like?”

”What about me?” Suddenly, Rean heard a voice coming from behind the tree. He couldnʼt help but be taken by surprise. He didnʼt notice the man... ʼNo wait, he isnʼt a he, he is a she!ʼ Although the person in front of him looked like a man, Reanʼs eyes could tell with a glance that this person wasnʼt male.

”Ahem... why did you let the kids call you grampa if youʼre a woman?” Rean couldnʼt help but ask. ”Also, is Logu really your name. It isnʼt very... female... if you know what I mean.”

Logu was as surprised as Rean when she heard those words. It had been a very long time since anyone was able to tell that she was a woman. She even used Divine Energy to alter the sound of her voice to sound more like a male. ”How did you know? My concealing technique should make it impossible for you to see through my body with Divine Sense.”

Rean was taken aback again to hear that. ”Technique?” Only then did he remember that the old woman indeed didnʼt appear in his Divine Sense. ”Right! I didnʼt notice you getting close to me at all with my Divine Sense. Thatʼs quite a good concealing technique you have there.”

Logu couldnʼt help but ask, ”Then you didnʼt use Divine Sense to tell what gender I am?”

”I didnʼt,” Rean confirmed as he nodded. ”Iʼm specialized in healing skills. I have treated the bodies of both genders of countless humanoid races, believe it or not. All I needed was to look at you to know that you werenʼt a man. I have no need for Divine Sense. Besides, you just happen to be part of the human race, so it was even easier. Not that I couldnʼt do the same with other humanoid races.”

Logu pondered it for a bit before nodding. ”I see...” Soon after, she looked at Gustav on Reanʼs side and got cautious. ”What do you want with me? Why do you have little Gustav with you?”

Gustav immediately answered, ”Grampa Logu, we joined Uncle Reanʼs sect! You should join as well. You will have a lot of food to eat if you do.”

Rean felt like crying after that. Didnʼt those words make him look like some perverted guy who used food to lure homeless kids?

Sure enough, Loguʼs expression turned dark when he heard that. ”Brat, you better give me a very good explanation. Otherwise, even if weʼre in the city, Iʼll skin you alive. This kid already has it rough, and I wonʼt permit anyone to take advantage of him.”

Rean bitterly smiled in response. ”Well, it seems like you got the wrong idea. Donʼt worry. Although it looks weird, I can guarantee that what he said is the real thing. Iʼm opening a new sect, and Iʼm recruiting people. I donʼt intend to do anything bad to him or any of the other kids.”

”So you got more kids, huh?” Logu didnʼt seem to be any happier after hearing that.

As for Rean, he felt like this conversation was going in a direction that he didnʼt anticipate. ”Ahem... Yes. Of course, itʼs not only kids. I also got a few adults who can take care of them. Anyway, in my sect, they will have access to food and cultivation resources. It wonʼt be for free since they will have to work for it. However, itʼs definitely much better than their current lives,” Rean quickly explained.

Logu obviously had her suspicions. Nevertheless, she decided to take a look for herself. ”Is that so? How about you show me this sect of yours? If Iʼm not happy with what I see, donʼt blame me if I haze it to the ground.”
