Death… And Me

Chapter 3290: Questionable Targets

Rean and Zangeshu didnʼt really see the absolute necessity of having to communicate with the device with the tendrils. The idea of having those things spreading through your brain truly didnʼt excite them. However, it was understandable. Through that method, a direct connection between the soul and the brain to the device was possible in real time.

However, neither Rean nor anyone else there liked the idea of having those tendrils spreading through their brains. So, the idea they came up with to avoid that was a bridge.

How that worked? It wasnʼt much different from the communication badges Rean created back in Lisan Universe. There, everyone sent their own Divine Senses inside and controlled the CDʼs options as if looking at a Virtual World.

Truth be told, Rean, and Zangeshu didnʼt understand why the experts from this Divine Snow World went far. The normal CDs they had here worked pretty much in the same method. The only difference was that one had to bring them out of their Spatial Rings. Perhaps it was basically due to convenience. Or maybe because they thought there was no chance to break if it was inside oneʼs head.

Regardless of the reason, Zangeshu and Rean decided to make a bridge. That bridge was simply a merging of the old CD and this VS Device. The VS Device would transfer its information into the CD, and the users would operate the VS Device through the CD as well. Thus, a bridge.

Of course, that was easier said than done. The Divine Sense Runes were unknown to Rean, and he could only rely on Sister Orb to extract them without damaging anything before trying them out. Fortunately, Zangeshu was also there. He didnʼt have the necessary cultivation, but he could still take the other more simple yet time-consuming jobs.

Rean didnʼt start straight away, though. He knew he would need a lot more of these devices since he was bound to break many until they could come up with a working prototype. That said, he went out first to ʼacquireʼ some resources.

A small city in the Divine Snow World like this still held more than fifty million residents. With a single Divine Sense spreading, Rean was able to see over a million of those by being near the City Center. Regardless of where you were, one thing was certain: you would always have some jerks.

These kinds of experts were exactly the ones Rean focused on. First, he separated them by cultivation realm. It would be meaningless to target those at the Nascent Soul Realm and below since they most likely wouldnʼt have many Divine Stones to start with.

Instead, Rean focused on those in the Saint Realm and Elemental Transformation Realm. He could have taken those in the Transition Realm as well, but he thought it would be too risky. You never know what such experts might have hidden in their pockets.

*Tud, tud, tud, tud...*

One by one, those kinds of idiots began to appear inside the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm, unconscious. Rean worked like a shadow. His Divine Sense looked for an opportunity, which wasnʼt easy to find. In a part of the city with such a huge movement, Divine Senses were everywhere. Rean had to first wait for his targets to give him a chance. Then, using his Divine Sense Bending Skill, he isolated them from the rest of the other Divine Senses. That only happened when they got themselves far enough from others. Only then did he make his move. Due to that method, Rean was only able to take less than 1% of the targets he marked during his search. A moment where all the conditions aligned was still hard to come by, and he didnʼt want to waste much time. Nonetheless, after a day of work, the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm received a total of seventeen new residents, although they were all unconscious.

”Phew...” Rean returned to the Dimensional Realm, looking at those he captured. ”Letʼs check out the profits.”

He removed all their Spatial Rings, checking their contents. Most of them only had Rank One Divine Stones, with some at the late and peak stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm having a few Rank Two.

Nonetheless, it didnʼt bother Rean. He took them all, and once he was done, he played a little trick on those guys. Well, there were two women there too. Nonetheless, at the dawn of the next day, this group was found naked in some rather ʼquestionableʼ positions around the city. For a monster of Reanʼs age, being seen naked couldnʼt bother him less, especially since Divine Senses could see everything anyway. But for these guys, who were all young, full of drive, and with overflowing pride, that was another story.

When Rean finally returned to the Dimensional Realm a second time, Zangeshu couldnʼt help but ask. ”Was there really a need to go that far? We only needed their Divine Stones.”

Rean nodded with conviction. ”But of course! I left a little message for them as well. Perhaps they will rethink their lives and change for the better. Who knows? This actually might turn out a habit for me.”

”Please, donʼt...” Zangeshu shook his head. ”Thatʼs too much waste of time.”

”Hahaha!” Rean laughed out loud, not minding Zangeshuʼs lack of interest. For a guy with a similar personality as Roan, it would be weird if he understood Reanʼs feelings. ”Anyway, I bought a few more VS Devices.”

Waving his hand, over a hundred boxes appeared, every single one carrying a VS Device inside, waiting to attach themselves to a brain.

Zangeshu took one of those, satisfied. ”These will work. By the way, I did some initial research on those you bought initially. Take a look at the results and see if we can continue from there.”

Rean quickly joined Zangeshu and reviewed everything Zangeshu did. ”Oh, so your approach is to create a CD with openings that simulate the mental waves of a brain to trick the VS

Device?”

”Do you think it could work?” Zangeshu asked back, nodding his head.

”Definitely!” Rean quite liked this approach. ”Letʼs continue from here.”
