Death... and me
chapter-2460

Since Rean had specially selected a thousand people who seemed to have little to no attachment to this world, the final answer was pretty obvious. Of the one thousand, over nine hundred of them already had their answer even before a single minute had passed upon their return to Earth. The next 72 hours were basically used to settle their personal issues.

Well, many things happened during those 72 hours. First, Rean never really tried to hide since he showed himself and the people floating around Pluto on purpose. That said, once those people who appeared in the images returned to Earth, most of them were taken into custody by their governments. After all, what they had seen and experienced was literally 'out of this world.'

They all explained everything Rean himself told them, hiding nothing. They also told the authorities how Rean would enter contact with them 72 hours later to ask again if they wanted to come or not. Considering how many of these people were recorded through security cameras the moment they disappeared from their workplaces and reappeared out of nowhere, the authorities could only believe it.

Rean even saw how thousands of satellites around Earth seemed to shift many times, changing orbit as if looking for something naturally; the Earth people were trying to find him. Well, with his power, if he didn't want to be found by the people on Earth, he wouldn't be found.

In the last few hours, a few governments even completely locked down these people, trying to see if they could talk to Rean the moment he tried to take them away. Since these people would have to give a Yes or No answer, some were even put to sleep so that they couldn't answer, increasing the chance that Rean would have to make an appearance himself.

How could any of the governments let such a chance go? After hearing Rean's name, they even went through the records of every human they knew of to have ever been called Rean Larks. And since Rean mentioned he reincarnated on the other side, the main focus was on the dead Reans.

Rean found it quite funny as some of such government officers even went to his old city, trying to find any clue of his existence there. But then again, just how many Rean Larks existed in the world since everything began to be recorded digitally? The number was just ridiculous since the authorities didn't have a time frame for Rean's last life.

Rean ignored all that and called everyone directly through their souls. It mattered not whether they were locked, free, sleeping, or whatever. As long as they did have an answer, he would know.

That wasn't all. Over nine hundred already knew they wanted to come with Rean the moment they returned to Earth for those 72 hours of wait. But after the rest were targeted by the governments of their countries, that number increased even more by the end of the deadline.

Rean smiled, having heard all the answers he wanted. In the end, a total of 983 people chose to leave, with only seventeen unable to give up the lives they already had on Earth. The huge acceptance number was mainly because of one reason: increased lifespan. They were all geniuses with vast knowledge that they would hate to simply bring with them to the grave. If there was truly a chance of living much longer, they all wanted it.

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

Regardless of whether they were sleeping, locked, or allowed to roam free, Rean was able to teleport them all out of the planet instantly. The countless eyes looking at each of these individuals couldn't help but feel even more shocked. One thing was to hear the testimony and the recordings of cameras. Another one was to see it with their own eyes.

There was simply nothing any of them could do. All the people selected by Rean truly just vanished in thin air. Countless orders were given to start a worldwide search, but it would all be for nothing.

However, Rean didn't just want to leave without doing anything. If everything worked in the end and Rean and Roan managed to reunite both sides of the Universe, Planet Earth would eventually receive cultivation energies.

That said, he had prepared many files regarding the other side of the Universe and its characteristics. The moment he took all the people he selected away was also the moment that these files were spread to all corners of the world. There was even a video that was shared on the internet, quickly becoming viral. It became the most watched recording in history as, for some reason, the governments simply couldn't manage to wipe it out of the internet.

Of course, the reason they couldn't do it was that the video wasn't on any of the servers in the world. Instead, it was in the facility of the Lingan Universe deep underground. As for taking it out of the air, that was also impossible since even the highly advanced technology from Earth was nothing but kid's play in front of the Lingan Universe System operating underground. Earth would have to advance in its technological achievements for a few tens of thousands of years before it could detect the system hiding in the planet.

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed as he shared everything that was happening on Earth with the people he selected. "Look how much of a ruckus I caused. Well, it was necessary. At least Earth will be ready for the cultivation energies if it ever gets here."

Rean then looked at the people who chose to come, having already used his instant recovery to wake the sleeping ones. "Well then, you all made a good choice. Sure, there is danger. But the benefits far surpass what you could ever hope for with Earth's money and authority. Now then, last chance, just to be sure. Are you ready to leave?"

There was just one single answer. "Yes!"
