Death… And Me

Chapter 2569  More Green

Roan and Kentucky then resumed their journey. In the following days, Rean sent a message to Roan, saying that his Scythe was repaired. After that, he went back to Celisʼs side, and the two cultivated while Roan and Kentucky traveled. Things improved after that. Contrary to Reanʼs fear, it didnʼt really take years for Roan to finally end up in a location present in the Star Charts they got. It was only three months later that Kentucky and Roan confirmed where they were after traveling around that place.

”What?! You found where we are?!” Rean quickly came out and took the Star Chart Roan mentioned. He then heard the explanation from the two and had to admit they were indeed in the right place. ”So we ended up being teleported to the Fofisbe Quadrant, uh... According to the chart, the Realm of Gods should be in that direction.”

Roan nodded. ”If the chart isnʼt wrong, we shouldnʼt take more than a few weeks of constant Spatial Gate traveling to get there.”

Kentucky was happy enough. ”Your Spatial Gates go much further than mine, so you donʼt have a need for me now that you know the direction. Iʼm going back to the Dimensional Realm.”

Roan didnʼt mind. ”Just make sure you help Rean and Celis cultivate then.”

”Ehhhh?” Kentucky didnʼt like that, though. However, there was no way Rean and Roan would let Kentucky simply laze around.

”Is there a reason you called me outside here?” Rean then asked Roan. ”You could have simply continued the journey. There wasnʼt really a need to tell me.”

”Yes,” said Roan. ”If the charts are correct, when we arrive at the Realm of Gods, we should land near the Gromandel Continent.”

Rean didnʼt really remember a continent with that name. ”Is there something special about it?”

”Thatʼs a Devil Raceʼs continent, although it is one of those continents located far deep into the Realm of Gods. Chances are we wonʼt find a single Devil there due to how isolated it is,” Roan began to explain. ”However, this is also a continent near the territories of the humanoid races on the southeast of the Realm of Gods.”

Rean finally understood what Roan was talking about. ”Oh! Thatʼs convenient, then. However, is it really okay to go there now? I truly think we should go take your Alchemist Workshop back and consume the pills. It is a huge waste of effort to continue cultivating without them.”

The reason it was convenient was because the Hustis Continent was located near the Devilsʼ Territory, also deep into the Humanoid Territories. Once they land there, it would be easy to go to Hustis, especially since the Continental Barriers are down. Well, at the twinsʼ level, the Continent Barriers posed little resistance anyway. ”Thatʼs why I called you. Do you want to ignore it for now, or do you want to take a look? If we ignore it, then it will be better to simply take the Alchemist Workshop back and go straight to Huban instead. You are the one who has to refine that Universe Foundation Fragment, so it is up to you if you think you can do that,” Roan asked seriously.

Rean pondered a bit about the time he spent in the new Blacksmith Workshop. ”During those ten years, Iʼve learned everything about the new circuitry forging machines in there. Not to mention, I got a lot of help from the guys from Earth and Sunkan. It simply doesnʼt matter anymore whether I delay our visit to Huban or not, so letʼs ignore Hustis for now. The earlier we visit Huban, the earlier I can give it a try. If things go wrong, we can start thinking about other methods sooner, too.”

”Very well,” Roan nodded, seeing no problem with Reanʼs decision.

With that said, Rean returned to the Dimensional Realm while Roan changed the course of his Spatial Gates. Just like that, he continued his journey for a few more weeks. Finally, the gigantic form of Hyeoumu began to take shape in the distance. Of course, the Realm of Gods was enormous. Even if he could see the shape now, he was still very far. Roan still had to keep opening Spatial Gates for another three weeks straight to finally reach the Realm of Godsʼ outer layer.

There was a reason most cultivators, demon beasts, and spirits didnʼt exit the Realm of Gods, Hyeoumuʼs natural barrier. That gigantic being created a layer of energy around itself to protect from most things coming from outer space. However, that layer was very weak when Roan arrived. Even someone in the Void Tempering Realm could cross it without any issues.

Roan didnʼt find it surprising, though. It wasnʼt hard to imagine why it was so weak. ʼWell, the Continental Barriers were the energy source of the layer. With the Continental barriers down, it makes sense that the layer is so thin.ʼ

Roan pierced through that protection with ease, finally entering the Realm of Gods once again. ʼLet me see...ʼ he changed the Star Charts for the Maps of the Realm of Gods. ʼXonichi Continent, uh? Then the nearest long-distance teleport formation should be in this direction.ʼ

*Zush!*

Another Spatial Gate and Roan disappeared from sight. Now, a day was more than enough for him to reach a big city where he finally got access to a teleport formation. Different from the others waiting in line, Roan simply paid the value of a teleport in full and left Xonichi straight away. Of course, he didnʼt forget to change his appearance once again.

With the Long-Distance Teleport Formations, things got a lot easier. In just a few more days, Roan was already back in the Demon Beastsʼ Territory, teleporting straight to Futuxeiʼs home continent. ʼHum...?ʼ When he finally reached the area where Futuxei lived, he found it quite surprising. ʼWas this place so lush like this before?ʼ

The last time they had been to this continent, the area around where you could find Futuxei was indeed filled with green. That was thanks to Futuxeiʼs presence. However, that area seemed to have increased several times in size, and the forests there were even more dense. ʼIs it an effect of the Earth Life Pill?ʼ Roan couldnʼt help but wonder.
