Death... and me
chapter-2459

It goes without saying that Rean was bombarded with an infinite number of questions. Nonetheless, with his powerful Soul and Divine Sense, he was able to hear and think about each one of them before answering the questions individually. He didn't know the answer to many of the questions, though, as they often touched the deeper part of the fields those people worked with.

After a few hours, Rean was still answering questions but decided it was about enough. "Alright, let's stop it here." Immediately, no one could talk anymore. "This should be more than enough of an introduction to what I'm offering you. I'm now going to send you back to your own homes, workplaces, or wherever you were when I grabbed you all. I will contact you all again in 72 hours."

Rean then prepared to send everyone back while he continued to talk. "At that time, you will hear one question, and one question only! Do you want to come to the other side of the Universe with me? There are only two words I want to hear from you: Yes or No! I will completely ignore any other words you try to tell me by then."

Rean then warned everyone. "Remember, even though the marvels of the other side of the Universe are enticing, the other side is also dangerous! I'm going to do my best to help you settle and start your cultivation path in exchange for your knowledge. But even I can't guarantee I will always be able to keep you safe. I talked plenty during these last hours about what you can expect, so it is not like you are making a decision uninformed."

"Think carefully! Once you leave, I'm pretty sure you will never get the chance to return to Earth ever again! If you manage to, that will be through your own achievements, and that will still be thousands of years in the future. Of course, if you decide to stay, I completely respect that," Rean concluded. "Now then, I'll talk to you in 72 hours."

*Zush, zush, zush, zush...*

All one thousand people were then teleported straight back to Earth, leaving only Rean alone in space. Not for long, though. Anfrou came to see him a few seconds later. "So that's why Kentucky said you would take a few days. You are taking the experts of the planet with you."

Rean smiled. "What? Could it be it is against the rules?"

"Nope," Anfrou shrugged his shoulders. "This isn't the only planet that managed to develop technology, after all. Even our Universal Transition Organization uses a lot of it, so we definitely don't lack these few living beings. Still, I believe this is going to be s huge boom to the other side of the Universe as most powers there are still clinging on the past countless years of teachings."

"Oh! You know about that?" Rean looked at Anfrou.

"Uncle Kafan told me that," Anfrou explained. "Every time he had to use that method of celestial laws communication, he took the opportunity to ask how things were going on the other side. Of course, his information is usually quite delayed and only comes once every few thousands of years."

"That's to be expected," Rean nodded. "I had a great opportunity as an Earthling, and I want to give this opportunity to a few more. This is not only me acquiring their knowledge but also my own way of sharing the spoils."

Rean then looked back at Earth. He selected people who wouldn't have much emotional attachment to Earth, but that didn't mean they would simply give it up. Most of them, with their knowledge, had well-established lives, with quite a few being truly rich. Once they leave, they would start from zero again, so perhaps it wasn't worth the risk in their eyes.

Rean then looked back at Anfrou. "You seem quite relaxed considering what Roan did to you a few days ago."

Anfrou felt a chill on his back when he heard that name. "I still haven't changed my mind. The Death Spirits should be thankful they even exist since the other outcome was to become Death Energy or a Soul Devil. However..." Anfrou thought about how strong Roan was. "I will admit that perhaps... I underestimated the potential of a Death Spirit Copy."

Rean smiled in response. "That's already a start."

Time passed quickly, and almost three days later, a Spatial Gate appeared near Anfrou and Rean. From inside, Kentucky and Assefy came out and seemed to be in quite a good mood. "Hahaha! Did you see it? Your grandfather Kentucky can truly eat a sun!"

Essefy nodded. "That's impressive. I didn't think you would be able to hold down all that power, even if it was one of the smallest suns out there."

Rean then remembered the legends that Minokawas should be able to swallow the sun. It wasn't hard to believe, though. Kentucky is capable of eating high-level metals that could cause anyone else to explode if they tried the same thing. A sun on this side of the Universe is nowhere near as powerful as a sun on the other side since it completely lacks the power of cultivation energies.

"You didn't eat a sun that other living beings used to stay alive, right?" Rean asked with a serious expression. If the sun disappeared for Earth, one can only imagine the calamity it would be. Well, Earth would still be better off since humanity would have the knowledge to at least survive. One must remember that more than 99% of the lives in the Universe are not intelligent, so they would mostly go extinct without their suns.

"Of course not!" Kentucky immediately shook his head. "First of all, the sun I took was alone. There were no planets around it. I would never want to be the reason for some race extinction."

"Then that's good..." Rean then looked at Kentucky with his Divine Sense. "It doesn't seem like swallowing that sun gave you any extra power, though."

Kentucky nodded. "In the end, the suns on this side are just not as good as the rare metals of the other side. They only have a lot of energy, but the energy they have is not the type I can use, so it was more a fun moment than an attempt to get stronger. I wanted to see if, as a Minokawa, I could truly eart a sun."

Rean nodded. "Well, perhaps you should give it a try on the other side later. Just be careful since the cultivation energies made the suns of the other side, even the smallest ones, hundreds of times more powerful than the biggest suns on this side."

"Will do, don't worry," Kentucky nodded.

Finally, Rean returned his attention back to Earth and smiled. The 72 hours were over. Immediately, his Divine Sense spread and reached the one thousand people he talked to before. 'Now then, do you want to come with me to the other side of the Universe? Yes or No! That's all I want to hear.'
