Death... and me

chapter-2308
Old Worm also noticed Rean's arrival, as Rean wasn't trying to conceal himself. He quickly left the Sasamil Imperial Palace, arriving at Rean's side in a moment. "Have you finished everything on your side?"
Rean nodded. "I did. What about you? I hope you won't tell me that everyone from the Sasamil Empire wants to come as well."
"What are you talking about?" Old Worm asked back, confused. "There is no way I could allow that. If I brought everyone, what would happen to the Empire and its long history? They must stay and continue the Empire's work."
Rean sighed in relief. "That's good, that's good."
"However," Old Worm continued. "I promised that if any of them reached the Peak of the 'T' Realm, I would come back here and bring this person to the Realm of Gods. Do you think it is feasible?"Rean pondered for a moment before saying, "Well, you have some connections with Eagon's Clan. Besides, it will be unlikely a T Realm, and one at the Peak Stage at that, will appear anytime soon. That said, you have enough time to increase your realm and gain some influence. It shouldn't be impossible. You will just have to pay the right price, and I believe it wouldn't be a problem for the Sector Lord to do it for you."
Old Worm nodded. "That's what I thought as well." Old Worm then took one last look at the Sasamil Imperial Palace before turning his attention away. "Alright, I'm ready to go."
Rean smiled. In the next moment, he sent Old Worm into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Finally, he opened a Spatial Gate and left the planet. However, Rean didn't go far away. He stopped on the moon, used his Divine Sense to confirm nothing was wrong, and entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm as well.
His destination was obvious. He went straight to Roan, who seemed to have just finished his interrogation. Rean looked at the soulless body of Vladrie on the ground, understanding that he truly didn't have a very good time in Roan's hands. "So, what did you find?"
Roan organized the information in his head before speaking. "They are indeed not related to the Vruve Organization. They came from the Realm of Gods, just like the other Sector Lords. From the looks of it, there is a Sector Lord in another galaxy not too far away from this one. That Sector Lord is from the same power as these people."
Rean became curious. "Have you found out how they discovered Cryan?"
Roan nodded. "From the looks of it, they found Cryan by coincidence. Do you remember when Cryan said that he first had a negotiation with these people, and they eventually left to find a way to free Cryan?"Rean nodded and waited for Roan to continue. "So, turns out that the person who found Cryan was a fugitive of theirs. It simply happened that while he ran away, he bumped into Cryan when he tried to hide at the core of Sunkan. This fugitive then returned to his home, where he exchanged the information about Cryan for his freedom. It's just that this fugitive was only at the Space Bending Realm, so it took a very long time until he finally returned. By the time we were born, this fugitive had long since been gone."
"So, it was just like I mentioned before. They knew the easiest way to get Cryan out was to destroy the planet. Too bad that when they came back after receiving the fugitive's information, the planet was already gone. In any case, they found the black hole and were powerless to do anything to it, so they left something behind that would warn them if someone appeared. That's how they appeared so fast after the planet was rebuilt," Roan explained.
"I see..." Rean got the full picture of the issue. "But the question remains. Will they pose any threat to our Sunkan Planet if we leave?"
"That's the part that eludes me," Roan answered. "Will they simply give up when they return to investigate and find out Cryan isn't here anymore? Or will they get angry and destroy the planet to relieve their anger? From what I found from this guy's mouth, it seemed like they were quite desperate to get their hands in Cryan."
"That makes sense," Rean mentioned. "Cryan had enough clean Divine origin Energy to bring a Space-Time Realm cultivator all the way to the Divinity Realm. Who wouldn't be desperate to put their hands on him?"
"That's not quite it," Roan shook his head. "Sure, that was definitely one of the reasons. But above all, it seems like they needed a Divinity Realm expert to execute some kind of plan. As to what it was, I can guarantee this guy here doesn't know."
Rean thought about it for a moment. "If that's the case, it is pretty much guaranteed that they will at least return to this place to investigate later. Should we stay here and watch from the shadows?"
Roan shook his head. "That's not a good idea. The battle was quite fierce between both sides. Next time, they will come with enough numbers to at least guarantee they won't fall to such a disadvantage. Staying here will only put ourselves in danger."
"Do you mean to give up Sunkan Planet and flee even though it might get destroyed again?" Rean asked with a dark expression.
Yet, Roan simply nodded. "Seems the most logical option. However, we don't need to leave and pretend we know nothing. There is a way of guaranteeing the planet at least won't get attacked."
Rean's expression relaxed a little. "What method?"
"Tell the truth about Cryan to the powers of the Realm of Gods," Roan answered with a cold smile. "The Realm of Gods won't go against their own rules and destroy Sunkan, but they will definitely come here to investigate. With them in the picture, the guys who came after Sunkan won't be able to act harshly. Nonetheless, both sides will understand that Cryan isn't in Sunkan anymore. Eventually, without affecting the lives on the planet, both sides will be forced to leave as wasting time here would be useless."
Rean pondered about the plan and had to admit it made sense. "Alright... and how do we inform them?"
"Hehe! How else?" Roan asked back. "Take your communication badge and send the whole information to all badges in the Realm of Gods."
Rean couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha! Indeed! That's a good plan."
