Death... and me
chapter-2337

It didn't take long for Rean to find the nearest city. Since Hyeonmu sent them back to the central area of the Realm of Gods and the humanoid side, cities were plenty. Of course, that is considering the Realm of Gods.

Oliran City!

It couldn't be said to be a big city in the Realm of Gods, but it wasn't small either. The most important thing was that it had Long-Distance Teleport Formations, so Rean didn't need anything else. However, there was one more thing Rean wanted to do here.

Recruitment Center!

Ever since the war against the Devils started, the Realm of Gods had been gathering more and more forces to suppress any possible Devil resurgence. This happened in the Humanoids, Demon Beasts, and Spirits Territories. On the Humanoid Races side, especially, there was even a set of rewards based on one's contribution.

Rean wasn't very interested in the rewards, though. Those things were more useful for cultivators at the Void Tempering Realm and below, which were the vast majority of the armies. For experts at his level, at the Peak of the Elemental Space Realm, little there could catch his attention. Besides, he wouldn't gain any points if he went on a killing spree of weaker devils. He would only gain points if he killed Devils at most one realm below his cultivation level.

Going past the several posters regarding the advantages of joining the army, Rean entered the recruitment center, going straight for the counter. He wasn't alone; Kentucky followed right behind. Obviously, both of them had different appearances once again. One could only tell that Rean was part of the Humanoid Races while Kentucky was a Demon Beast due to his aura.

"How can I help you, sir?" The worker behind the corner immediately asked when Rean and Kentucky approached. He was only in the Nascent Soul Realm, so he obviously couldn't see Rean and Kentucky's cultivation.

"Hi, my Demon Beast and I have been in seclusion for quite a few thousands of years. To our surprise, when we came out, we found out that the three powers decided to take the Essence Race Territory back. Is that true?" Rean asked, pretending to be new.

The man's expression immediately changed. For Rean to say thousands of years, that obviously meant their cultivation was several times higher than his. "O-Of course! Sir might not be aware, but the three powers have achieved a major victory against the Devils. We have regained control over our own Temporal Path Entrance, which made it impossible for Devils to come and go anymore."

The worker quickly talked about everything that happened during the war. Of course, Rean and Kentucky already knew everything from the communication system. Nonetheless, they were not supposed to have communication badges if they had been gone for thousands of years, so they pretended to be shocked by the man's words. "To think we would actually have the upper hand in this battle..."

Rean then looked at Kentucky, and they got quiet. In the worker's view, he thought Rean and Kentucky were probably discussing the situation through Divine Sense Messages. After a minute or so, Rean looked back at the worker. "Can I take a look at the reward list for the war? After such a long time of seclusion, my Demon Beast and I are running out of high-level Divine Stones, so it might be a good opportunity for us."

"Definitely!" The man immediately got excited as he passed a jade Slip over. If he succeeded in recruiting such high-level cultivators for the war effort, he definitely would be rewarded as well.

Rean took a glance inside just for the sake of doing so. However, as he browsed the content, he truly stumbled on something that caught his attention, which he didn't believe to be possible at first. "This..."

-Serene Gold Filament: 1000 Merit Points - 100 Grams.-

Rean's eyes lit up as he got excited. There was one thing that Rean had to stop his work due to the lack of necessary materials. To be more specific, it was the lack of this Serene Gold Filament. Back then, Rean had worked on that new type of armor that attached itself to one's body. It was based on his knowledge of the Circuitry Formations and the Technology he found in the Ruins of the Stars.

The results were also fantastic. He gave it to Roan to test, and it truly not only made it easier to use Divine Origin Energy, but it also increased their defense by a huge margin. Unfortunately, Rean only had enough of this Serene Gold Filament to make half an arm's worth of this new technology. He still remembers how Roan complained of the armor's name and had him give up on it.

The problem with this new Circuitry Formation Equipment was that it was too unstable in its incomplete form. Rean then tried several times to find more of the Serene Gold Filament, which was a crucial component of the armor. Yet, that was a kind of material that others couldn't buy just because they had the Divine Stones.

After that, Rean's group got into many other situations, and Rean had never had the chance to go look for more of this Filament. Yet, right in this Jade Slip, there was information about it being available for purchase by Merit Points. 'Great! I need at least a kilogram of this Filament, so it will be just perfect. I was planning to join the war just to be able to travel around and find that member of the Essence Race, but now my plans changed. I guess I'll have to hunt some Devils as well.'

Rean looked back at the worker and nodded. "It indeed has exactly what I need. It will also help me get used to my newly acquired power. How do I sign to join the war efforts?"

The man quickly took a form out. "Here, sir. You just need to put your information, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Very well," Rean nodded before he and Kentucky began to put their fake information.
