Death… And Me

Chapter 2271 Teaching About the Real World

Around three thousand human cultivators and mortals appeared outside. On their side, many items could be found, which were the things they wished to bring. However, the village itself was not brought as well. Thatʼs because the state Rean brought already had plenty of houses of much higher quality. It was a true eye-opener for the village people who lived in isolation all this time.

”Alright, everyone. This is your new home. I have already explained everything to your elders here,” said Rean.

*Zush!*

Right after, Luan appeared outside as well. Rean nodded and continued to talk. ”Luan and I will spend the next two weeks teaching you all more about the outside world. What you should pay attention to, what you should avoid, what you should risk, buy, sell, fight, you name it. We will also help you acquire cultivation manuals for your use. In fact, I have many of them myself, but I couldnʼt pass them to you before I got you all outside.”

Luan continued from there. ”I want the adults to make several groups and then come with me to the market. Your village lived in a system where you trusted each other up to this day. However, the world outside can be anything but trustworthy. I want you all to check with your own eyes how many times the vendors there will try to trick you. Donʼt worry about being fooled. Use it as experience for what to expect here.”

Luan then took out many Rank One Divine Stones. Rean had already sold some simple equipment and traded the Rank Two or Three Divine Stones for Level One Stones. It was nothing but pocket change for him but a fortune for a clan of this size. ”Here you go. Everyone has their own Spatial Rings, so make sure to protect them. There are around a hundred or so Rank One Divine Stones inside, so use it when you go out with Luan.”

While Luan brought a few groups outside, Rean joined forces with the rest to help them choose their new homes. He also tasked Luan to buy all the necessary furniture while he was at it. He began to check everyoneʼs cultivation talents and affinities, quickly passing cultivation manuals that matched their aptitudes.

Later that night, everyone entered their new homes and retired for the day. Meanwhile, Rean looked at Luan. ”Thanks for the help, Luan. It will be quite boring the next few days.”

Luan smiled in response. ”Itʼs fine, Uncle Rean. I know a few people in the village, even though I have never helped them with cultivation. It wouldnʼt feel correct if I simply left without doing anything. What are two weeks for cultivators of our level?”

Rean nodded. ”Thatʼs true. Letʼs go back to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. I want to check on our new guests.”

Luan shook his head. ”You can go ahead, Uncle Rean. I will stay here and help anyone who might come out with doubts. I donʼt really know Jakiro or Mia anyway, so I would be nothing more than a burden there.”

Rean didnʼt mind. ”Alright, Iʼll be back later. The entrance to the Dimensional Realm will be here anyway. If you need to come in, just shout out, and Sister Orb will hear you. She can pull you in.”

There was also Kentucky. ”What about you?”

Kentucky shook his head. ”I will stay as long as possible outside. If I go back, Celis will force me to cultivate again.”

Rean sighed but didnʼt say anything. Right after, Rean disappeared from sight.

Inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, Mia was sipping some tea while Old Worm read a book. He had many of those and could read everything in a flash if he used his Divine Sense. Yet, he appreciated the time he spent reading.

Mia glanced at Old Worm, who had been quiet ever since they were brought into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Rean and Roan were nowhere to be seen either. She tried to ask what was happening, but Old Worm refused to tell. It wasnʼt like he didnʼt want to, but that he didnʼt know if it was okay to talk yet. In the end, she could only wait in that house that was previously used by Pulanli and Werin.

Finally, Rean and Roan came to see Old Worm and Mia at the house. ”Hey there!” Well, Roan obviously didnʼt say that, only Rean.

Mia quickly got up and bowed once again. ”Hello, se-... sir.”

”Hahaha!” Rean burst straight away. Right after, he began to return to his normal appearance. Roan, obviously, did the same. ”Are you sure you want to call Roan or I Senior or Sir?”

”What?!” Sure enough, Miaʼs shock was even bigger than Old Wormʼs. ”Rean, Roan!”

Roan went to Old Wormʼs side for them to talk while Rean was left to deal with the stupefied Mia. Seeing how Roan completely ignored her, she was certain that he was definitely Roan. ”How? I thought you died during the planetʼs explosion.”

Rean looked at Old Worm, who nodded back. Only then did he explain things to Mia using a Divine Sense to make things faster. ”And thatʼs about it. I donʼt know how many important people you lost in Sunkan, but it is true we were partially involved in that.”

Mia tried to organize the whole information in her head. ”I did have a lot of people I liked back there. However, from what you told me, you didnʼt even know that such experts existed and were after you until they appeared that day. Iʼm not an idiot. I have never blamed others with basis.”

”You seem... calmer than I expected you would be after I told you everything,” said Rean with a little bit of surprise.

Mia sighed. ”In the end, after so many years, it is hard to still think about it too much. Iʼm not like my master, who truly lost his family and descendants. I did not even know my own parents, to be honest. Sure, the sect peopleʼs deaths still make me sad, but it is not like I can change it.”

”However...” Mia continued. ”I also would like to see the results of this investigation of our planetʼs explosion you guys intend to do.”
