Death... and me

chapter-2586
Back in the Realm of Gods, Rean arrived at the front of the Dragon Race Territory. Or, to be more precise, in front of its central area, where you could also find the System Sect. It goes without saying that the Dragon in charge of the security immediately came out to inquire him.
"Who are you? No, how did you even get this far into the Dragon Race Territory?" The Dragon asked, not being able to see through Rean's cultivation.
Rean smiled in response before his body shone with white light. All the Dragons prepared to attack, thinking that Rean might try something. However, nothing happened. The only change was that Rean's appearance completely changed, returning to his original form.
"This..." How could the Dragons, who had eargly looking for the twins for so long, not recognize the guy in front of them. "It's Rean! Quickly, surround him! We can't let him escape!"
Rean didn't do anything and just watched as the Dragon appeared all around him."Stop!"
However, before they did anything, a powerful voice filled with Divine Energy echoed from the Dragon Nests' Area. A moment later, a huge Dragon descended in the midst of the crowd, stopping right in front of Rean.
Seeing him, Rean finally spoke. "Long time no see, senior Frasco."
Frasco was not a Divine Dragon but quite a common one. Yet, he was one of the oldest alive and had extensive knowledge and experience. Rean had met back when Rean lived in the Dragon Race Territory. Placake obviously wasn't present, as he was taking part in the war against the Devils. It was Frasco, mostly due to his experience, who stayed behind and took care of things with other high-level Dragons. "You have quite a lot of guts to appear here again after disappearing without a trace all those years ago."
Rean shrugged his shoulders. "I didn't have much of a choice, did I? I was the one who invented the communication system, so you couldn't let me fall in anyone else's hands. Although I wasn't imprisoned in a cell, I still couldn't leave the Dragon Race Territory. It was simply a bigger prison."
"Hmph!" Frasco snorted but didn't deny Rean's claims. The Dragon Race, indeed, had no intention of letting Rean and his group go. "So, do you think you will be able to escape now?"
Rean shook his head. "Why should I escape? We both know that I now have a free pass all over the Realm of Gods. Or could it be that Senior Rawor didn't hear from Flinyu and especially Senior Gragatou? I refuse to believe someone as knowledgeable as you don't know about him."Frasco's mouth twitched, wanting to retort. However, Rean was right. Flinyu had already paid a visit and used Gragatou's token to warn them to not try anything against the twins anymore. Of course, Frasco wasn't an idiot. Gragatou was a human, and this was the Demon Beasts' Territory. Gragatou had no say in this place.
Yet, when Frasco contacted the Semi-Celestial of their Demon beast Races and reported this incident, the Semi-Celestial just told him to follow those orders. So, simply put, Rean indeed couldn't be captured by them anymore.
However, who was Frasco? The guy had just way too much experience, so he immediately saw a loophole and had been waiting for the twins to appear. "Well, it is true that we can't go after your group anymore... as long as you don't do anything to cause trouble for our Dragon Race."
Rean nodded. "I indeed have no intention of causing any trouble."
"Good!" Frasco was satisfied with that answer. "All of you, send this guy out of the Dragon Race Territory. That's all."
"What?!" Let alone Rean, and the other Dragons were surprised by those words.
Rean quickly reacted. "You can't do that! I came to see my wife!"
Frasco snorted in response. "Yea? Too bad, though. This is the Dragon Race Territory, and whatever happens here is my problem. If I say you are not welcomed inside, then you are not welcomed inside. Or what? Will you force your way true?"
Frasco turned around and spoke into Rean's ears. "Or... could it be you intend to force your way through and... cause us trouble? Nothing would make me happier."
Rean felt speechless. However, Frasco was right! This was the Dragon Race Territory, and he was in their central area. Even if the powers of the Realm of Gods could not pursue the twins anymore, no one said anything that they all must accept the twins' visit with open arms. "Come on, senior! Didn't I build the communication system for your Demon Beast Races? Don't you think you owe me a bit?" Rean could only use that card.
Yet Frasco laughed. "Hahaha! Indeed, you did. In exchange, we took care of your family and sect during all these years. Not only that, but we also provided them all the materials they asked for to continue their happy research. They truly love playing with this circuitry system of yours. Consider the favor paid."
Rean finally understood he couldn't do anything about it. Rean knew Frasco was waiting for something, and Rean knew exactly what it was. "Fine... What is it that senior desires from me? Just be aware I truly can't stay for long. I still have many things to do out there. If that is your only request, then I guess I will have to pay another visit in the future."
Frasco's smile became even brighter. "As expected of the genius who invented the communication system, you are truly smart. Don't worry; I have no intention of locking you down in the Dragon Race. Truth be told, way too long has passed since your communication system first appeared. We already received reports that the demons figured more or less how it works and they are starting to test their own."
"Of course, without people like you, they will take several times longer to reach the same level as us. After all, the system cores can only be found here and in the humanoid race. That is the one thing they will have to figure on their own."
Rean wasn't surprised by that. "It was actually faster than I expected." He then went back to the main topic. "So, what do you need?"
