Death... and me

chapter-2290
"Such a weird thing..." Roan couldn't help but comment. "Eagon, do you know something like this, a barrier that only stops one specific type of being?"
Eagon nodded. "Well, there are quite a few types of formations that you can configure to block only a specific type of material, race, etc... However, they don't create a different dimension to achieve that. First of all, this thing is not a formation. You could deactivate a formation by destroying its runes. Yet, this thing doesn't have any runes whatsoever. Seems like a different concept."
Roan agreed with Eagon. He had seen a formation back in the Floating Islands of time where Rean's Earth Father made the cubic barrier that stopped everything except beings of Light. Nonetheless, that formation had its runes and could still be destroyed if the runes were targeted. At the moment, they simply didn't know if there was something that could be attacked to start with.
Back on the surface, Rean had arrived in the Dalamu Sect. The first thing he did was to go to the Formations Hall. That's where his Master in the Formations side occupation was... or so he thought. Yet, he quickly understood that with Mia's return, all the elders were probably called. Sure enough, after checking with his Divine Sense, he found Droman in the Main Hall with everyone else. 'Hum... let's take a look.'
By now, Mia had already told everyone about what happened. How they died and then were revived as the planet got rebuilt. She did her best to explain everything and how she was now an Elemental Transformation Realm cultivator. Suddenly, the Dalamu Sect now had one of the strongest cultivators on the entire planet.*Zush!*
Rean teleported straight into the hall, taking everyone by surprise. They couldn't tell where he appeared there or when. That showed just how much stronger he was in comparison. "Hello, everyone. Long time no see! No, that's not quite correct. Only a few hours have passed in your conception, so it hasn't been that long for you."
Droman, Rean's Master, was the first one to talk. "Rean... is what Mia said about the planet explosion true?"
Rean nodded. "It is. Roan went down to the core of the planet to investigate the reason behind your revival. I'm going there later as well. I just wanted to come here first to see you, Master."
Droman's Spiritual Sense truly couldn't see Rean at all. "Just... how strong are you now?"
Fortunately, all the elders there were at least in the Nascent Soul Realm, so Rean didn't need to be afraid of his Divine Sense hurting them. He compiled all the information he told his parents and Juri and sent it all to the elders' heads. He also warned them about the universe's backlash if they spoke about the Transition Realm and above.
One could imagine just how shocked they were. Mia's tale was already unbelievable, but Rean's... Rean's tale was just ridiculous. Elemental Space Realm? That seemed nothing but a dream.Mia knew what they were thinking. "It might be hard to accept it now, but it is the truth. I'm fortunate enough to have met Rean again in the Realm of Gods. That's why I'm here now."
Tiria, another Nascent Soul Elder, was the first to recover. "Sect Master, with your power, we can become one of the biggest sects in the Sasamil Empire. Especially since the Sasamil Empire's Ancestor is your Master."
Those words immediately reminded Droman of something. "Right! Rean, what will you do after finishing your investigation? Are you staying?"
Rean shook his head. "I'm not. First of all, someone at my level is seen as a threat by the Mortal Realm. Even now, I am having to fend off the Spatial Powers used by the Heavens that are trying to send me back to the Realm of Gods. The way things are going, I don't think I can resist more than a few decades since the power increases day by day."
Juvian looked at Mia. "What about you, Sect Master? Is the same kind of power trying to force you away?"
Mia shook her head. "It's not. Only those above the 'T' Realm are forced away by Heaven's Will. I'm still at the Elemental Transformation Realm, so I won't be affected by the same thing until I surpass the limit." Mia wasn't as strong as Rean, so she didn't dare say Transition Realm and receive the universe's backlash.
Yet..." However, I can't stay anymore either. My body has already been changed after entering the Realm of Gods." One must remember that back when the twins arrived in the Realm of Gods, Divine Energy transformed their bodies so that they could use it. Naturally, Mia was the same. "I can still use Spiritual Energy, but my cultivation will be slower than any other Elemental Transformation Realm expert. I might never leave this level if I stay here."
Suddenly, Elder Reliance appeared in the hall. "Well, I don't care about any of that." He then looked at Rean. "Brat, I'm coming to the Realm of Gods with you. I won't take no for an answer."
Rean laughed. "It's good to see you again, too, Elder Reliance. You were never the type to be loyal to start with. Sure, no problem, I'll bring you up there too. However, you better understand that I will not help you with your cultivation. You will be on your own. Also, Nascent Soul Realm experts are pretty much grass in the Realm of Gods. Every single one is definitely much younger, too. Even the three Stage Six Demon Beasts you have are nothing special there. Are you sure you want to go?"
"Hmph! I've never been afraid of a challenge. Besides, I believe I can get even more Demon Beasts there," Reliance said. He didn't feel even a bit of sadness to have to bid farewell to the sect.
The other elders obviously got interested, too. "What about us? Can we...?"
Rean shook his head. "That's not for me to decide. I only came here to visit my Master. In the end, you are elders of the Dalamu Sect, and the decision lies in Mia's hands. By the way, Sect Master, have you decided who will take your place?"
Mia sighed in response. "That's the main reason I called this meeting."
