Death... and me
chapter-1766

Ganhan already had no doubt about anything that came from Rean and Roan. "Could it be that you knew what the competition would be about?"

Roan snorted in response, saying, "Do you think I can see the future? I'm a subordinate under Luina's command, remember? When Luina first appeared and recruited us for this competition, Rean and I already had our own sect. That also means we came from one of the far-away continents at the borders of the Realm of Gods. We just packed everyone inside our Dimensional Realm and brought them together."

Ganhan sighed after hearing that. "That's true. You would need a ridiculous amount of time to teach so many people up to that level. The competition wasn't even being considered two years ago, so there's no way you prepared for it."

Ganhan then glanced at Roan, asking him, "Then again, with such a foundation, don't you think you could have grown to become a huge sect back in your continent? Why join such an arduous task when you have a guaranteed future? Sure, this is the center of the Realm of Gods, but growing here is several times harder than there."

Roan faintly smiled in response. "And where's the fun in that?"

Ganhan was taken aback again before he laughed out loud. "Hahaha! Indeed! There would be no fun in that. Hahahaha! I like you, boy."

Ganhan then spread his Divine Sense and called out even more of his subordinates. "All of you, come with me. We have work to do." Ganhan and those subordinates then entered the sea of System Sect disciples.

Roan finally turned his attention to Rean after that. "You know your part, don't you?"

Rean nodded. "Of course! In fact, I got Sister Orb to analyze it since we first received them."

Luina was as lost as ever. "What are you two plotting now?"

Roan shook his head, saying, "You will find soon. For now, I have work for you to do, Luina." Soon after, he passed Luina a jade slip. "Find a map of this region and head to the locations I listed. I want you to engrave the loyalty of those locations into jade slips and bring them back to me later."

Luina took a look at the jade slip, only to feel like she would almost faint at the sight. "There are over a thousand locations here!"

Roan nodded, telling her, "I know. I didn't want to burden you too much, so I just put a few in there."

"You might as well get some of the sect's disciples to go to some of the locations as well," Rean added.

"I know," Roan agreed with him. "I will put Hurian and Leonardo in charge of them." Hurian was one of the few Soul Transformation Realm cultivators of the sect and was very good at commanding. Leonardo was the Iron Element Affinity cultivator who awakened his saber intent. They had grown quite a lot in the sect and gained Roan's trust. Naturally, they should be able to get an idea of what Roan wanted at those places.

"Before long, we should have a good grasp of the best attack and defense points in Walfure Region. For now, none of the disciples of the Jamai Sect will worry too much about us. They probably think they should only care about their armies and the continental war in ten years' time. For them, the enemies are the countries from other regions. None of them will bother our people while they're preparing for the war."

Leonardo quickly received Roan's orders and bitterly smiled in response. They could already imagine how long it would take until they recorded everything.

"I want you back here in six months, understood?" Naturally, Roan added insult to injury.

"Six months?!" Even Luina was terrified. "Are you trying to work us to death?"

Roan coldly smiled when he heard that. "You haven't seen what death can truly do."

They all felt a chill on their backs after hearing that. "W-We'll be back in six months."

None of them wasted time and immediately departed. The weird part was how Roan got rid of Luina, who was supposed to be their boss. Well, no one would complain about how Luina interacted with her subordinates, though.

Around that time, Rean finished giving orders to his own side occupation disciples and elders. "Alright, I'm going back to the Dimensional Realm to work on that project. If we want to guarantee our victory, I have to finish it as soon as possible. Do you need anything before I leave?"

Roan shook his head, saying, "Leave the rest here for me. Havek also knows what has to be done, so he can act as the leader of the communication system. If something comes up, I'll tell you through our connections."

Rean nodded and immediately entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. However, he quickly reappeared a minute later. Also, he had Eliana and her group of builders and their own subordinates with him now. "Sorry, sorry. It's not that I forgot about you. It's just that my head is occupied with many things at the moment."

Eliana complained. "Pay more attention, will you? We also want to try out the sect's building in the real world. Since there's no problem in bringing everyone out, it should be okay to bring the sect out as well." Sure enough, the sect's buildings had been improved a lot since the last time the sect was brought out of the Dimensional Realm. Eliana wanted nothing more than try to move it out and see how it fared in the real world. Obviously, her subordinates wanted to see the same thing.

"Right, right." Rean didn't mind. Following that, he called Ganhan over. "Ganhan, can you spare a few people to help Eliana find a good empty place just outside the city?"

Ganhan nodded. "Sure, no problem. But why do you need more space? You can use the palace as you see fit, you know?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. "Unless we make the palace disappear, it won't be a good idea." Seeing Ganhan's puzzled expression, Rean just smiled. "Just get the people I asked, and you'll find out very soon."
