Death… and me

Chapter 2623  Stay Behind

A few days later, the twins arrived on a continent called Solihun. It was one of the continents of the Center of the Realm of Gods. After the Essence Race came out, the Semi-Celestials of the Realm of Gods obviously came to check on Huban.

Talks went right and left, and an agreement was reached. The Realm of Gods sacrificed a lot to get rid of the Devils, so they wouldn’t simply give the Northeast side to the Essence Race like that. Yet, Huban threw on their face that the Devils only took control of the Northeast side because the other regions didn’t want to help the Essence Race defend it.

No one denied that since it was the truth. The Essence Race’s ability was too powerful. Every single member of their race had a talent equivalent to the best geniuses of the Universe. It was obvious they wanted to suppress them. The Devils’ invasion was simply perfect. They just didn’t think the Devils would manage to take control of the entire Northeast in the end.

In the end, Huban took a step back, saying that his Essence Race, which was already very rare, was even rarer now. If you counted all their members, you wouldn’t get more than twenty thousand. Even Divine Demon Beasts weren’t so low in numbers. He said that they wouldn’t be able to take care of the entire Northeast side anyway.

It was decided that the Essence Race, which did have three Peak Divinity Realm experts and a Semi-Celestial, would take ten continents in the central region of the Realm of Gods. However, the Tchikan Continent couldn’t be chosen. That was the continent that had the Temporal Path Entrance, so they couldn’t let the Essence Race take care of it.

Huban couldn’t be happier to agree with that. His Essence Race was so few in numbers. How could he ask them to watch over the Temporal Path? That was too much work. First of all, now that the Devils are gone, the rebuilding of the continents and the re-establishment of living beings would be paramount. His Essence Race would get ten entire continents, which, to be honest, the Essence Race was far from having the number to take care of all.

In the end, Huban selected ten continents near the center, making sure he would have a border with all three other regions of the Realm of Gods. This Solihun Continent just so happened to be in the middle of the ten continents given to the Essence Race.

After gathering some information, the twins managed to arrive in the city where the Essence Race lived. Essence City, yes, they gave it such an obvious name, was the biggest city in Solihun when the Devils dominated it. The Essence Race simply changed the name and occupied it. The city might be ‘big,’ but that was only compared to the other cities in the old Devil’s Territory. It was quite average if you compared it to the other three regions of the Realm of Gods. Not to mention, it was quite deserted. Average Cities in the Realm of Gods could easily reach a hundred million inhabitants. Yet, Essence City barely surpassed the five million.

It was even less before. Over half this number arrived in the last month alone, being brought by several experts of the Essence Race to populate it. Rean and Roan could easily see that most of these people were previous slaves in the ‘Soul Farms’ of the Devils. Many seemed to not even know what to do now that they were free.

For a moment, Rean thought about going down and helping, but Roan immediately stopped him. “We don’t have time for it. Everywhere in the Realm of Gods, you will find people who need help, it’s just that it is more prominent here due to the circumstances. What will you do? Stop to help every single person from now on? You will die of old age before you finish taking care of the very first city. Leave it to the Essence Race. They got the continent they chose, so they had to fix it themselves. That’s a process that will take many years, which is not our problem.”

Rean sighed and nodded. “Fine.”

A few minutes later, they arrived at the center of the city. This was where most of the Essence Race members lived, and they could see that they all seemed extremely busy. That was to be expected, looking at everything they have to work on.

The twins’ arrival was quickly noticed by Trulo, one of Huban’s disciples and Peak Divinity Realm expert. ‘Who are you?’ A Divine Sense Message arrived almost instantly.

The twins then changed their appearance, going back to their original forms. ‘Ah… It’s the two of you…’ Trulo obviously identified the twins. ‘Master is in his chamber at the central building. I’ll let he know you have arrived. Whether he will see you or not, I don’t know, though.’

The twins waited in front of the main building that Trulo mentioned, not feeling concerned. Huban would most likely see them anyway.

Sure enough, a maid appeared a few minutes later and brought the twins to Huban’s chamber.

Huban was alone, seeming to be working on something. When the twins entered, he paused what he was doing and looked at them. “I didn’t expect to see you so soon. Speak, what is it?”

Roan went straight to the point. “We need a ride to the Hidden Realm so I can meet my master.”

Huban wasn’t surprised. “So you are also aware of the Hidden Realm, uh? Anyway, I don’t think I will be of much help.”

“Why is that?” The twins asked.

“Because I’m not going,” Huban answered. Seeing the surprise on the twins’ faces, Huban began to explain. “Everyone wants to enter the Hidden Realm where it is believed to exist Chaos Laws. However, it is not like we can leave the Realm of Gods alone, right? In the end, it was decided I’d be staying behind to oversee it.”
