Death… and me

Chapter 1811: That's Not Good

Somewhere else, a certain spirit stopped what he was doing, catching the attention of his companions. His companions, Frinke and Zlois, who were lesser disciples, couldn't help but ask after that. "Zangron, what happened?"

Just like Luina, Rean, and Roan, Zangron was the disciple in charge of the Hatisphere Region. Well, to be more specific, the head disciple of the participants from the Lanstreo Continent.

Lanstreo Continent was considered to be one of the three strongest among the 57 continents that were taking part in this Free Continent competition. Surprisingly, Zangron was the strongest disciple from that continent.

As mentioned in the past, Jhiod Continent wasn't the only one that had teleport formations connecting it to the center of the Realm of Gods. Philip told the twins that, including Jhiod, there were four in total. Well, they couldn't really teleport to the center, but very close to it. In Jhiod's case, it was the Jamai Sect.

Zangron found himself arriving in the Kwebio Continent many years ago, another one of those four continents. Back then, Zangron had succeeded in finding two more reincarnated people from Sunkan Planet. One of them was Zlois, while the other was Frinke. They just so happened to start traveling together after Zangron found them.

On top of that, Kwebio Continent just so happened to receive a visit from an elder from the Lanstreo Continent. Kwebio was a continent where it was easy to find a rare metal the Lanstreo Continent needed, which was Fosferhe Ore. That was the reason Kwebio ended up obtaining a teleport formation connecting them to Lanstreo. Coincidentally, the encounter between Zangron and that elder happened at that time.

Usually, someone like an elder from Lanstreo would have never met Zangron, who was a nobody just passing by Kwebio. However, that impossibility happened due to an incident in the Kwebio Clan. Obviously, the power controlling Kwebio.

The elder was also a Water Type Spirit, just like Zangron. He went by the name of Qerny. Due to sheer coincidence, Zangron obtained the cultivation technique used by that elder, and it turned out that he was extremely compatible with it. During that time, Zangron had the lowest cultivation between him, Zlois, and Frinke. Of course, it was now different. Zangron reached the Peak of the Space Bending Realm while his two friends were in the Middle Stage of the same realm.

It was this extreme compatibility with the technique that got Qerny to offer Zangron to head back with him to Lanstreo Continent as his legacy disciple. For Zangron, it couldn't have been better. As long as he could use the power of the Lanstreo Continent, his search for his family would be countless times easier. Of course, considering that they had reincarnated and recovered their memories. Nevertheless, it was a lot better than his plan at the time.

He just gave one condition to that elder. The elder had to allow Zlois and Frinke to come with him and join the Lanstreo Organization. It went without saying that Lanstreo Organization was the controlling power of the Lanstreo Continent.

One must not forget that spirits cultivated in different ways than cultivators and demon beasts. Fairies needed karma, Kibins needed virtues, and Sea Chilling Spirits needed items infused with Water Element. The spirit race elder was not from the same race as Zangron, but he was similar in that aspect. In fact, while there were no such things as cultivation techniques for spirits back then, the elder surprisingly had one in the Lanstreo Organization.

After arriving at Lanstreo Organization and being recognized as the elder's legacy disciple, Zangron received the Void Shattering Pill. His advancement was so good that he even convinced the Lanstreo Organization to give another Void Shattering Pill to his two friends. That's how they were able to reach their actual level.

During the following decades, Zangron went from the Initial Stage of the Void Tempering Realm to the peak of Space Bending, while his friends got to the Middle Stage. Not only that, Zangron was a really strong Water Element Affinity Spirit. The disciples that could beat him were already past the Space Bending Realm, so Zangron ended up being selected as the head disciple for the competition.

In any case, Zangron couldn't be happier. If they got the Free Continent with his help, the Lanstreo Organization would definitely owe him. At first, he planned to reach a much higher realm and acquire power in Lanstreo Organization. Once he did that, he could use Lanstreo as a base for his search. However, that would really take a very long time. That's why the Free Continent competition was something Zangron considered to be just on time. Lanstreo's influence would grow, and he could ask the organization to help find his reincarnated family... if they reincarnated, that is.

From the very start, there were no fights in the Hatisphere Region. The order from their organization was for everyone to join forces even though they didn't even know what the competition was about before it started. As for the few who didn't like to have Zangron as the head disciple, Zangron simply defeated them in combat. It could be said that the Hatisphere Region was one of the most advanced regions in terms of growing power for the regional wars.

They were also one of the continents that had already found a way to copy the anti-cultivation suppression formation badges. Of course, compared to Rean and Havek, who had the support of the Soul Gem System, they took way longer to do that.

Now, five years and six months after the start of the Free Continent competition, Zangron finally felt the presence of his Glacial Reofik. "Yiu won't believe it. Havek's here as well!"

"Havek?!" Zlois and Frinke were taken aback. After so many years together, they obviously heard from Zangron that the first reincarnator from Sunkan Planet he found was Havek. "Could it be that you can feel your Glacial Reofik?" Naturally, they knew of it as well. Not only that, but Zangron had given each of them one of his Reofiks, so they knew how it worked.

"Yes. Of course, I can't tell if it's really Havek. However, I can guarantee it's the Reofik I gave him all those years ago," replied Zangron. "But... this is quite the complicated situation. I can feel that he's all the way to the southwest of this continent. Well, that's not good."
