Death… And Me

Chapter 4216: We Will See

”I know that,” Rean said as he checked the robot again. ”Yep, it is absolutely not here. I left a concealing formation here back then, and it is still active. Somehow, someone took the core away without damaging the formation.”

Romario thought for a moment. ”Was it a high-level formation?”

Rean shook his head in response. ”Not really. My cultivation wasn’t that high to start with back then. Besides, I didn’t think it was necessary for the formation I left here to be anything that grand. A good Formations Master should be able to pass through and leave without breaking it.”

”Sigh...” Romario wasn’t too concerned in the end, now recovered from his initial shock. ”Just use your Divine Sense to check the entire Earth. That core was too unstable to be moved into a Spatial Ring or be pulled inside a Dimensional Realm. If it is still on Earth, you should easily find it. If not, it was taken away. In that case, we don’t need to worry either. It might be dangerous for a planet, but in the grand scheme of things, that isn’t anything worth worrying about for the likes of us.”

Rean nodded. He wouldn’t be able to find out who took it anyway. His Divine Sense once again spread over the entire planet, and sure enough, it wasn’t there. ”Well, the important thing is that it isn’t on Earth anymore. I’ll just post it in the Lisan Network later and see if any clues appear.”

Rean ended his call with Romario and then entered the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm.

[Hi! You’re here!]

Rean was just about to exit by Roan’s side when Sister Orb caught him. ”What is it?”

[Let’s be honest, the Celestial Soul System doesn’t exist anymore, so... I don’t think it is right to call our Dimensional Realm by the same name. How about the Orb Dimensional Realm?]

Rean paused for a moment. ”Indeed. That’s a very important issue.” He quickly contacted Roan, Celis, and Kentucky through their connection. ”So, how about Orb Dimensional Realm?”

’Are you truly wasting my time with this bullshit?’ Roan obviously had no patience for that. ’Whatever. Orb Dimensional Realm it is. At least it is shorter. Now, all of you, come out with me. Everyone is here.’

Rean gave Sister Orb a thumbs-up. ”It is good that it is resolved.”

[Absolutely!]

Celis and Kentucky didn’t even have a chance to comment, but they preferred not to do so.

*Zush, zush, zush!*

The trio appeared in a big room in the Realm of Gods. There, you could see all the Semi-Celestials still present in Lisan. Not only that, but so were the twelve Primordial Beasts, Dofrei, Cloe, Dofrei’s Disciples, the Demon Beasts from F974, etc...

Kentucky quickly flew to Coddin’s side, the Divine Silver Phoenix. After joining hands against Rafina back in F974, those two became quite good friends. ”Hey there, Coddin. So, how do you feel now?”

Coddin had a big smile on his face. ”I couldn’t be better! Guess what? I removed my Divine Werdlem Stone... and I can still cultivate normally! Hahaha! Do you have any idea how good it feels to not have your cultivation in someone else’s hands?”

”Oh!” Kentucky nodded. ”I’ve never had mine in the Werdlem Empire’s hands, so I can’t share the same sense of relief. Nonetheless, I thought you might be a little sad since you are the Owner of Universe F974. The best cultivation place for you, who became a Celestial because of the Universe Root Egg, would be there.”

Coddin didn’t mind it one bit. ”Sure, that would be the best. However, I’m willing to work a hundred times harder if it means I truly have control over my own destiny. And hey, I’m a Celestial now. Hick put a boundary around my cultivation so I can stay inside your Universe, but once I’m out, I will still be one of the top experts of the Great Void. My target now is to reach the Celestial Plane one day.”

Kentucky was happy for him. ”Well, it is good you think like that. I have no intention of going anywhere anytime soon, so you can come and visit me anytime.”

”Sure will do.” Coddin had his plans, though. ”But once this meeting is over, I intend to go out and explore the Great Void. Hey, maybe you can come with me instead.”

”Sorry, but I’m going to laze around until mold grows on me from now on,” Kentucky refused. ”I have no intention of doing anything.”

Coddin and Kentucky kept talking, and so did the others for a while. Everyone from the Werdlem Empire felt similar to Coddin, and they had no reason to feel sad since they weren’t Universe Owners. If there was truly anything, perhaps it was the fact that the cultivation environment of the High-Ranking Universes back there was much, much better. Nonetheless, it was definitely not worth the Divine Werdlem Stone requirement.

”Alright, everyone!” Soul Gem took the lead and asked for the room’s attention. ”I’ve kept a close eye on this Lisan Universe since you guys arrived. I wanted to see if the Werdlem Empire would follow you here somehow or not. But you all received the reports regarding Victor, the Arbiters of the Celestial Plane, and how he closed that tear in space that would be used to control the entire Great Void.”

”With the Werdlem Empire’s Bubble gone and it being impossible to execute the same plan without that tear, the Empire has a lot more things to worry about than coming after us. The Primordial Demon Beasts wouldn’t be of much use to them in their actual state anyway.”

”That said, our Lisan Universe doesn’t really have much to ask from any of you anymore. Everyone is free to go anywhere they want, or you can stay if you feel like it. Now, I’m taking any questions, so ask away.”

The meeting was quite lively, and as one could imagine, many questions were asked, and just as many answers were given when possible. Eventually, everyone came to terms with the actual situation.

Then, Rean came to the center of the meeting room, speaking about one last thing. ”Now, for the experts who are from Lisan. Roan, Kentucky, Celis, and I will stay in Lisan for a while. That means it won’t be at any risk from outsiders with four Universe Owners, all of them Peak Stage Celestials and Balance Breakers on top of that. If you read the reports, you should know what a Balance Breaker means.”

”I recommend that you go out, look for your rogue Celestial Laws, and try to reach the Celestial Realm. Don’t worry. We will keep everything in check, and we will warn you if we decide to leave at some point.”

Everyone knew about that already, but it was good that Rean mentioned it himself. They could truly go out without any worries of something happening to Lisan. ”Well, that’s basically it. If no more questions, I say we end this meeting here.”

”Just one thing.” Huban, the Semi-Celestial of the Essence Race, spoke. ”That Victor guy... he said he would send a gift to you, right? Should we be worried about that?”

Rean pondered a bit. ”Hum... I highly doubt so. However, not wanting to be rude, but if it turns out to be something that could cause trouble for me, Roan, Celis, and Kentucky, I don’t think there would be much you guys could do about it either. In any case, we will know when it is here. If you are all curious, you can simply wait until then. I’m not sure when this so-called gift will arrive. Victor just said it would take a few weeks, and so far, just a single week has gone by. I will let you know what it is when it gets here... unless there is a reason for me not to disclose this gift’s contents. We will see.”
