Death… and me

Chapter 1592 Ten Thousand

　　Rean didn’t return to the Dimensional Realm for the entire week after that. After all, both Celis and Eliana’s group wanted to skin him alive after they resolved their misunderstanding.

As the twins traveled between cities, they stopped here and there to go out recruiting people. Of course, they also took caution so that they wouldn’t get involved in anything complicated. Sure, Destiny Avoidance Mode was activated, but it wasn’t perfect. 

Little by little, the Dimensional Realm started to fill up with people… well, not that much. Not considering the first city, Rean and Roan usually didn’t recruit any more than four or five people in every city they stopped to look. Of course, the reason was simple. They wanted as much diversity as possible. 

The only exceptions were races that had special needs. For example, the Cosgles Race. They need a constant supply of Earth Element to survive, so the twins obviously wouldn’t take people from their race.

Eventually, the twins arrived in one of the biggest cities in Xinfia two weeks later. The city of Brin. 

As soon as they appeared there, Rean and Roan went to some concealed corner and got the people they needed out of the Dimensional Realm. 

Roan took Luan so that he could give him new tasks to work with. “This time, try not to recruit a lot of kids. You need to be able to do things alone as well.”

”Yes, dad!” Luan nodded as he received Roan’s missions. Roan didn’t say anything, meaning that Luan would have to deal with everything on his own. Nevertheless, Luan couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, is it okay to leave the kids in the Dimensional Realm there? Shouldn’t they come out and train as well?”

Roan shook his head in response. “Their cultivations are pitifully low. I intend to let them cultivate for a few months first. With the Dimensional Realm’s Divine Energy, they will definitely improve a lot. Not to mention that we’ve already set up several tasks so that they could acquire Divine Stones.”

Building the sect would obviously require manpower. With that said, one of the first missions drafted for the new members was related to the building of the sect itself. It wasn’t only the kids that Hage and the others took care of. The adults the twins recruited could also use it to get Divine Stones.

Luan didn’t ask anything else after that. “Alright, dad. I’m going.”

Rean, on the other hand, had already left with Eliana. It’s just that Eliana had a dark expression every time she looked at him. “Oh, come on! It was just a welcome joke. It’s not like you guys would actually be killed. After all, I could contact Celis at any moment to stop him.”

”Joke?! You call that a joke?!” Eliana was truly terrified that day. “I had already accepted my fate to become that cedar’s fertilizer! Who the hell would make that kind of joke?!”

Rean, trying to hold his laughter once again, shook his head as he replied, “I already apologized, didn’t I?”

Unfortunately for him, it was too obvious that he wanted to laugh. “You fucker! You don’t feel apologetic at all!”

”Hahaha!” Rean couldn’t hold back anymore after that. “Sorry, sorry. It was just too funny!”

*Bang!*

Suddenly, a fist stopped right in front of Rean’s face. Eliana didn’t hold back at all as she punched him.

”Phew… so close, so close…” Sadly for her, Rean used his own arm to stop the punch. Not only that, but he also used his Divine Energy to stop the shockwave from spreading. After all, Eliana was still an Elemental Transformation Realm cultivator. Her display of strength would have caused quite some damage to the surroundings. “Is that how you treat your sect ancestor?”

”Ancestor, your ass!” Eliana rebuked. “What kind of goddamn ancestor would do what you did?” If not because of their cultivation difference, Eliana would have really given Rean a thorough beating. Perhaps she would have even killed him.

Unfortunately for her, Rean didn’t even need to use Divine Energy to defend. With his Third Grade Star Body, his natural defense was already enough to stop her attacks. “How about this? I will let you go to the shops here in the city and buy any materials you want for the construction of the sect. Does that sound like a good apology?”

Eliana’s expression finally eased up a bit after that. “Only if you let the others come out and do the same.”

*vup, vup, vup…*

Immediately, the rest of Eliana’s group appeared in the street. Of course, Rean used his Light bending skill so that no one would notice them coming out of nowhere. It’s just that they all didn’t seem very happy when they saw Rean. “Ahem… I made an agreement with Eliana as an apology.” He then explained what he promised her, which obviously delighted Katia and the others.

”You said it!”

”Hmph! I’ll buy all the best materials!”

”You better not regret it later!”

Rean smiled as he walked with everyone. “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sigh… a bunch of people who can’t even take a playful joke.”

”Did you say something?” everyone asked with angry expressions.

”Ahem… you must be hearing things,” Rean answered.

After some time, Rean arrived at his first destination. “You guys wait outside for a bit. I just need to do a few transactions.”

Back in Glastocen, Rean tried to exchange Rank Two Divine Stones for Rank One Divine Stones. Unfortunately, the city wasn’t even close to affording all the Divine Stones he wanted. That’s why he waited until he arrived in a real big city before exchanging them.

At the counter, Rean was greeted by the worker there. “Hello, welcome to Brin City’s bank. Are you here to open a new account?”

Rean was surprised when he heard about banks existing in Xinfia. So far, the other continents had nothing like that. Of course, he expected to find them sooner or later the closer he got to Jhiod Continent. “Hey there. I wish to exchange a few Rank Two Divine Stones for Rank Ones.”

”Sure, how many?” It was a common thing for such exchanges to occur in a big city like Brin, so the worker didn’t find it anything out of the norm. 

Well, not until Rean spoke again. “I want to exchange ten thousand of them.”
