Death… and me

Chapter 2300 Saved Lives

Eagon then came to their side and asked straight away. “A Minokawa, a Scythe, and a Sword, not to mention a Demon Plant just as strong. Even if you want to keep trying to pretend with fake names, you can’t fool me. I’ve heard about your group. You are Rean and Roan, right? The Minokawa must be Kentucky.”

Roan wasn’t surprised to be found out. The moment Kentucky had to revert to his original form, he believed Eagon would guess their identity due to how much noise they made in the Realm of Gods. The other clues, like the elements the twins use, Celis’ presence, and their Elemental Affinity, only helped with that.

“So what do you wish to do now that you know who we are?” Roan asked back.

“Nothing,” Eagon answered. “First of all, I was still somewhat doubtful. That’s because last time you were seen in the Realm of Gods, you were just in the Space-Bending Realm. You truly advanced at an unbelievable pace. I definitely don’t want to make enemies of someone like you.”

Eagon continued. “Besides, now I completely believe your words when you said that you had no need for Cryan’s Divine Origin Energy. Considering how crazily fast you got to the Peak Stage of the Elemental Space Realm, you must have your own ways of cultivating ridiculously fast. If anything, it gives me more confidence you will keep your side of the deal.”

Rean was happy to hear that. “Great! However, since you were able to find out our identities, that means those two guys who escaped will eventually reach the same conclusion. We might not be able to stay with you for much longer.”

Rean then turned around. “I’ll be right back. You guys can continue whatever you’re doing.” He disappeared as soon as he finished his words.

Roan looked at Eagon. “If possible, I would like you to not comment about our presence here. Even if those guys can figure out our identities, it doesn’t mean they will spread it.”

“No problem for me,” Eagon answered.

Roan quickly took Vladrie’s body into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm following that. “You don’t mind if I do the questions to that guy, right?”

Eagon shook his head straight away. “Be my guest. To be honest, I will also disappear for a while after we get Cryan out. If you can find more information about their people, I’ll be even happier.”

Eagon had seen the power Rean and Roan’s group possessed. They were four experts, all at the Elemental Space Realm Peak Stage. Not to mention, they all could fight way above their own cultivation realm. By now, Eagon was just happy that they didn’t seem to want to attack him to get Cryan for themselves. After all, the Thoughts Transmission Talismans are not usable at the moment, which meant they could kill Eagon without worrying about the consequences. Yet, they hadn’t done that. That was enough for Eagon.

*Zush!*

A moment later, Rean reappeared near everyone. On his hand, one could see an item that resembled a huge nail almost a meter in size. There were countless tiny runes on them, releasing some kind of waves. “This is?”

Rean smiled. “This is the thing those guys were using to prevent Thoughts Transmission Talismans from working. I’ll take my time to analyze it later.” After showing it to Eagon, he sent the item into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm as well.

Eagon put his hands on his back and looked at Sunkan Planet. “So… shall we go back to business?”

Kentucky waved his wing. “You guys go ahead. I’m dead tired, so I’m going to rest a little.” Right after, he disappeared, going back into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

Celis, obviously, didn’t waste time either. “Since the job is over, I’m going back to cultivate. There is no need to tell me anything if it won’t bother me somehow.” Celis also disappeared once he finished his words.

Seeing that everything was back to normal, Rean and Roan went down to Sunkan once again. Naturally, they went straight to where Cryan was staying. On the way, Rean asked Roan something that made him curious. ‘You pointed out that destroying the Sunkan Planet would be one of the ways to get Cryan free. It was also obvious that those guys were intending to destroy Sunkan to achieve exactly that. Still, how come Cryan is still locked in his dimension after Sunkan was destroyed by the Vruves?’

Roan wondered the same thing. ‘I can only think about two possibilities. The first one was that Cryan refused to accept a deal where everyone in Sunkan would die. After all, if he didn’t care about the lives in Sunkan, he wouldn’t have protected everyone’s souls.’

Roan continued. ‘The second possibility was the one I believe to be the most important one. It is also the reason why the system selected this planet for our reincarnation. Simply put, the Soul Gem System saved Cryan during the destruction before he was affected by the explosion. It then isolated him in that blackhole thing together with the planet’s fragments and the souls.’

‘So you say the system chose this planet because Cryan was here?’ Rean asked back.

Roan nodded. ‘That’s a possibility. If you think about it, how did the system get enough energy to teleport us to such a faraway planet before the planet was destroyed? Sure, it absorbed a lot of energy in the surroundings when it teleported back then, but Sunkan Planet has only Spiritual Energy. I believe most of the energy necessary for that teleportation came from Cryan instead.’

Rean had to admit it made sense. ‘I see… Then, not only did Cryan save our mother’s soul, but he also saved our lives, if what you said is correct. It’s just that it wasn’t directly.’

Finally, their group arrived back inside the Pseudo Dimensional Realm. “Oh! You are back,” said Cryan. “I saw the battle outside. You truly are full of surprises, aren’t you? Such a battle power, even though you have a lower cultivation realm. I’m impressed.”

Roan wasn’t in the mood to waste time receiving praises, though. “Alright, we are bringing you out for sure now. Let’s start.”

“Alright!” Cryan didn’t complain at all.
