Death… And Me

Chapter 2279 Going Down

Finally, the colored portal disappeared, leaving only a Sunkan Planet now orbiting the sun. Time began to run once again, and the people on the planet were left in a shocked state. Even though the planet was rebuilt just like before, everyone still remembered how they were suddenly enveloped by an intense light before everything went black.

Naturally, that was the moment they all died. Every single person and demon beast with sentience on the planet remembered that. Yet, everything around them was normal, as if nothing happened. If those near them hadnʼt gone through the same experience and asked everyone else, they might have thought they were hallucinating.

Outside the planet, Eagon watched everything with his Divine Sense together with Rean and Roanʼs group. They didnʼt enter the planet straight away as they didnʼt know if it was safe. A crystal with such power was definitely strong enough to kill them as well.

Yet, the planet just kept going like it always did before the explosion. The only difference was that the orbiting location was not in the right place. After all, it was stopped during all this time. Nonetheless, it wasnʼt an issue since the zone itself was correct.

Rean and Roan werenʼt only paying attention to it, though. Their eyes turned gentle as they caught sight of a specific woman in an overlooked tribe near the end of a small country. She was still at a loss for what happened, feeling like she had a dream.

That was none other than Rean and Roanʼs mother on this side of the Universe, Hamarlia Larks! ʼIn the end, she did not reincarnate in the Realm of Gods. Instead, she stayed frozen in time together with everyone else,ʼ Rean commented.

Roan nodded and pointed out. ʼShe wasnʼt the only one. Look.ʼ

The twins saw how Turen Larks, their father on this side of the Universe, also awakened. That didnʼt surprise them. Their father, Turen, told them before that he used a sliver of his soul to give birth to the Turen they were seeing now. Simply put, that sliver of a soul was also frozen in time, and now it returned to Turenʼs reconstructed body. The Divinity Realm Turen also told them that this Turen, with a sliver of his soul, didnʼt know about his real self.

However, it didnʼt take long before Harmalia suddenly let out a scream. Thatʼs because her daughter, Rana, wasnʼt moving at all. Naturally, the twins knew why. Rana was one of the souls that reincarnated in the Realm of Gods. Since her soul left Sunkan, her small body was reconstructed and left there like an empty shell.

Rean gritted his teeth and finally decided to descend. ʼIʼm going down. Otherwise, Mother might try something crazy.ʼ

Roan nodded. ʼGo. Iʼll stay with Eagon to make sure things will stay under control.ʼ

”Shall we descend then?” Eagon was also feeling bored as he couldnʼt perceive anything that could put his life in danger.

Roan and the others nodded.

Old Worm was the first one to ask, though. ”Iʼm going to pay a visit to my Sasamil Empire. You guys donʼt mind it, do you?”

Eagon shook his head. ”My Divine Sense can cover the entire solar system with ease. Such is the low level of restrictions in the Mortal Realm. Just be aware I will be watching you.”

Old Worm didnʼt mind. ”Thatʼs not a problem.” He then looked at Mia. ”Iʼll send you to the Dalamu Sect first. Almost no one would notice that I vanished in the Sasamil Empire. On the other hand, you will immediately be sought after by your sect.”

”Thank you, master.” Mia was obviously happy to hear that.

As Old Worm and Mia left, Rean also dove into the planetʼs atmosphere, leaving only Eagon, Roan, and Kentucky behind.

Seeing that, Eagon asked Roan. ”Where is your companion going?”

Roan glanced at him and explained. ”Truth be told, we were also born on this planet. Thatʼs how we came to know Jakiro. Thatʼs all I can tell you at the moment.”

Eagon found it strange. Wouldnʼt that mean the twinsʼ group reached the Elemental Space Realm in record time? But then again, it mattered little to him. He could see Rean clearly with his Divine Sense, so he was fine with that. What mattered was the Crystalized World Essence and especially the Divine origin Energy inside. ”Is that so? Then I reckon you guys have some people you wish to visit.”

”Iʼll leave Yean to it. The three of us should focus on World Essence. Letʼs descend and start digging.” Well, they wouldnʼt really dig anything. At their level, they could pierce through the earth and easily descend to the core area.

Eagon had no complaints. ”Fine by me.”

Meanwhile, in the Varen Tribe, Hamarlia was panicking. ”She isnʼt waking up!”

Turen, the one who didnʼt know about his real self, was a little better. ”She is still breathing. Letʼs bring her to the Tribe Elder. Perhaps Senior Juri knows what happened. You do remember the sudden intense light, donʼt you?”

Hamarlia quickly walked out of the house with her husband while nodding. ”I do! Perhaps it was that light that did something to Rana. Letʼs go to Elder Juri.”

Yet, as soon as they stepped out of the houseʼs door, they were met by a young man with white hair. Rean used his Divine Sense Bending Skill to conceal his appearance from Eagon so he wouldnʼt be able to see his true form. Yet, those in front of him would have no problem with that, so...

”Rean, you are back! Werenʼt you in Dalamu Sect?” Turen couldnʼt help but ask.

Hamarlia immediately asked for help. ”Son, something is wrong with your sister. Can you take a look? She isnʼt awakening.”

Rean bitterly smiled before shaking his head. ”She is not going to wake up anymore.”

”What?!” Hamarlia and Turen were taken aback.

However, before they could ask why, Rean entered the house. ”Donʼt worry, though. Rana is fine. Come inside and listen to what I have to say.”

Hamarlia couldnʼt help but mention. ”Rean... you look somewhat... different.”

Rean sighed and disappeared inside the house with his parents.
