Death… And Me

Chapter 1894 Seeing Even More

Of course, he understood what that meant. They wanted to see what he was doing before he came to the Winged Provis Race. That would mean seeing the time when Rean participated in the Free Continent competition. However, it didnʼt work. ʼThatʼs definitely because of the Soul Gem System.ʼ

Fran obviously seemed impressed by that. ”Protected by a higher power? Does it mean heʼs connected to the angels or demons?”

”I donʼt know,” the floating bunch of eyes answered. ”Itʼs not like we can identify the sources.”

”Ahem...” Rean couldnʼt help but intervene after that. Well, that was only because Franʼs grasp on him with his Spatial Power loosened a little. ”Can someone explain what is happening here?”

Fran narrowed his eyes in response, saying, ”I knew you werenʼt as simple as you initially seemed. Tell us, which one is helping you? Is it the demons? The angels donʼt have much influence here. Or could it be you have some of the experts of the human race safeguarding your past?”

Rean shook his head, replying, ”First of all, I didnʼt even know it was possible to look into someoneʼs past. Let alone that it could be protected by others. How does that even work?”

Fran and the Glimpse Race members obviously didnʼt believe that. ”You talk, or we can force you to talk. We arenʼt brutal like the humans or demon beasts. However, if you insist on keeping it hidden from us, then we wonʼt hold back.”

At the same time, Rean was talking with Roan. ʼWhat do you think? Should I simply say Iʼm the human the humanoid race is looking for?ʼ

It was then that Roan got an idea. ʼFatherʼs Thoughts Transmission Talismans.ʼ

ʼAre you going to ask father to come here?ʼ Rean was taken aback.

However, Roan shook his head. ʼNo, we can use father as an excuse. Letʼs just say that we work for Old Man Larks. Thatʼs why our past is protected.ʼ

ʼWouldnʼt that be worse, though?ʼ Rean asked back. ʼI mean, everyone wants to get their hands on dadʼs Foundation Fragment. In a certain way, we might get in even more trouble than if we said that we were the guys they were looking for.ʼ

Roan shook his head again. ʼThatʼs why I said to use fatherʼs Thoughts Transmission Talisman. All we can do now is have the spirits come to some agreement with father and see what happens. Otherwise, you might as well enter the Dimensional Realm right now, and we simply try to use the Circuitry Teleport Formation.ʼ

However, Rean had another idea. ʼWhat about the devilʼs soul we trapped in the Dimensional Realm? We know that heʼs someone, or at least was someone at the same level as our dad. Wouldnʼt he be able to escape this place with his power? I know heʼs only a soul, but he probably has his own bag of tricks.ʼ

Of course, Roan understood that there was a problem behind it. ʼAnd why would he help us? The moment we bring him outside, heʼll definitely try to escape on his own.ʼ

ʼTeleporting our way out doesnʼt seem much better,ʼ Rean added.

ʼOr...ʼ Rean continued. ʼWe can try our luck with something else.ʼ

ʼAre you planning to simply tell them that weʼre the humans they were looking for?ʼ Roan could imagine what idea it was.

Rean nodded, saying, ʼYeah. Weʼre close to the one-month deadline we gave Jakar, arenʼt we? How long will it take until someone from the humanoid race comes here? If we get a chance, we might be able to escape and even get the Iridescent Tears. Donʼt forget, the humanoids need us. Itʼs not like weʼll be killed or anything.ʼ

In the end, they came up with several ideas, but none seemed to give them a good shot at escaping.

”You know what?” Rean said all of a sudden. ”Just think whatever you want. Iʼm tired.” Since there was no good idea, he might as well not use any idea at all.

”Do you think Iʼm joking?” Fran said as he tightened his grasp over Rean with his Spatial Powers. Perhaps some pain would make him change his mind.

However, Rean didnʼt show the least bit of discomfort. Instead, he just closed his eyes and kept quiet. ʼHmph! First of all, I can cut my sensation of pain. Second, this pressure youʼre putting on me doesnʼt hurt at all.ʼ Of course, Rean didnʼt say that. He only thought about it.

Fran was surprised, though. The amount of power he put on his Spatial Power should have made most Void Tempering Realm cultivators scream in pain. However, he could tell that Rean didnʼt feel any pain at all. Well, to be more specific, Reanʼs body barely changed with his spatial compression. ʼWhat a ridiculously strong body! It beats most of the demon beasts at the same level Iʼve seen up to this day. Only a few Divine Demon Beasts had something similar or stronger.ʼ

Yet, the one who really called Franʼs attention was the spirit from the Glimpse Race. ”This kind of strength and resistance... I know what he is!”

”You know?” Surprisingly, Rean and Fran asked at the same time.

The spirit then explained, ”The Starlight Body Cultivation Technique. Thatʼs why his body is this strong.”

”What?!” Fran looked at Rean once again. ”Are you saying he found his own star?”

The spirit nodded, replying, ”He did. Only the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique could give such a huge defensive ability. In fact, it even looks a little bit stronger than the last one I saw. As you know, the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique isnʼt a rare one. However, the majority of its users simply canʼt find their stars, so the technique is pretty useless without it. Yet, if they do find it, they will have the strongest bodies, losing only to a few Divine Demon Beasts. I have no doubt thatʼs the case after the amount of Spatial Power you used on him.”

Rean and Roan had to admit this Glimpse Race member was very observant.

The spirit then tried to talk with Rean again. ”I havenʼt introduced myself yet. Iʼm Gludi-otta, a member of the Glimpse Race. There are three powers known for having members with real Starlight Body Cultivation Techniques. The Heavenʼs Archangels, the Underworldʼs Elder Devils, and the humanoid raceʼs Jakarta Sect. You are neither a devil nor angel, so you must have come from the Jakarta Sect.”
