Death... and me
chapter-1627

Luan shrugged his shoulders, saying, “Of course, they have been. After all, I was able to meet with my father and everyone else after a year apart. If you don’t want to lose this opportunity, take us through the continental barrier and come back to my forehead as fast as possible.”

”Hmm… that’s true.” The enormous fishbird-like spirit then swallowed Roan and Luan once again before diving straight into the Continental Barrier. Roan allowed the people from inside the Dimensional Realm to watch it from inside as always. Well, by now, they had begun to get used to it.

”Another continent left behind…”

”I’ve never thought I would have traveled so far.”

”Hehe! The Sect Masters weren’t kidding when they said we might never come back to our homes.”

”What home? This is now my home! I had nothing back in Xinfia.”

”Same goes for me.”

”Even if I had, I wouldn’t go back. Only an idiot would give up being part of their sect.”

On the outside, Roan and Luan were finally on Lebgram soil. “Thank you, Fluki. You can go back now.”

Fluki nodded and quickly disappeared back into Luan’s forehead.

Following that, Kentucky was brought outside so that they could fly and look for the nearest city. Roan was even able to buy a map of Lebgram’s southwest side when he was in the center of Hiwer Continent, so he knew exactly where they had to go.

”Lebgram is smaller than Pol Continent but bigger than all the others we passed by. Fortunately, because it’s a continent bordering Jhiod, it’s superpopulated by both demon beasts and humanoid races. There are also quite a few different spirit races,” Roan explained. “With that being said, the number of humanoid race cities in this continent is quite high, so we’ll be able to take teleport formations between one city to another.”

Luan nodded in response. “I just hope the teleport formations here aren’t expensive. I still remember Uncle Rean’s painful expression when we were using Rank Two Divine Stones back in Xinfia. If not because of the time we would save, he would never have relied on teleportation methods.”

Kentucky couldn’t help but ask, “Is there anything we should pay attention to here in Lebgram?”

Roan shook his head in response. “Not really. Lebgram is the type of continent that doesn’t have a single power controlling it. Because of that, a lot of power struggles happen in the shadows. As long as we stay away from any power conflicts, we won’t be stopped by anyone.”

Luan couldn’t help but comment, “This is a good thing for Jhiod if you think about it.”

Roan nodded, satisfied. “Smart. It is indeed a good thing for Jhiod. We already knew that Jhiod is kind of a powerhouse here in this remote area of the Realm of Gods. They even have contact with some of the powers in the center of the Realm of Gods. However, there’s no lack of other continental powers that wish to take their place. The more chaotic the continents around it are, the easier their lives would be.”

”I wouldn’t be surprised if the chaotic state of Lebgram is fuelled by Jhiod’s powers,” Luan could not help but say. “Then again, if things are like this, why doesn’t Jhiod Continent take control of the continents around it?”

Roan shook his head, telling him, “There’s no need. As you mentioned just a moment ago, they might be the ones fuelling the power struggles here in Lebgram and the other continents around them. In a certain way, they already have control over these places. Sending an army to take control of this continent would only be a waste of resources. Instead, leave them like this, and they might even serve as shields in case someone decides to attack Jhiod.”

Kentucky and Luan had to admit Roan’s words made sense.

Suddenly, Kentucky’s vision caught the walls of the city in the distance. “Hey, we’re almost there already. Was this city supposed to be this close?”

Roan nodded, saying, “I selected a part of the continental barrier that would bring us close to this city. It’s called Gublac City, and according to the information I got, it’s populated by both humanoid races and demon beasts. Of course, demon beasts are a minority since they can only achieve intelligence at the Transition Realm.”

Roan intended to fly over the wall, just like he did with all the cities before. However, Gublac City was protected by a formation. He had to descend and use the gate if he wanted to pass through.

Now that Roan and Kentucky were in the Transition Realm, a lot of things became much easier. For example, they had no need to wait in queues outside the cities as no one would try to make Transition Realm beings wait behind low-level ones.

At the gate, the guard respectfully asked, “May I inquire about sirs’ visit to this city?”

Roan nodded, replying, “I’m here to use the Formation Guild’s teleport formation.”

The guard quickly nodded in response. “Very well. Please show me the identification badge.”

Roan’s group narrowed their eyes, asking, “What identification badge?”

”You don’t know?” The guard was taken aback. However, he quickly understood right after. “I see… could it be that sirs came from Hiwer Continent?”

Seeing that there was not much use in lying, Roan simply nodded. “What about it?”

The guard then took a piece of crystal before passing it to Roan. “It’s not a problem, but you will need identification. Also, you will need to sign a Soul Binding Contract that you will not meddle with any of the power struggles in Lebgram Continent while you’re here. Only then will you be able to use the teleport formations.”

Roan couldn’t care less. He had no intention to meddle in anything to start with. Not to mention that those contracts didn’t work on them. “Very well.”
