Death... and me
chapter-2620

Rean took his Divine Sense from the communication badge after hearing the message and smiled. "Alright, now that we decided to ignore the quest, should we depart for Hustis?"

Sister Orb and Roan looked at him with suspicion. "The system has just issued a freaking impossible quest, and a second later, you received a message. Spit it out. What was the content?"

Yet, Rean looked at the sky in response. "Today is such a nice day. I will return to my room to prepare for our departure."

*Bang!*

Roan immediately kicked him, making Rean kick a few times before stabilizing himself. "What the hell are you doing?"

"That's my question!" Roan answered. "Just tell me what was the message. It was the fucking Destiny Attraction skill of the system again, wasn't it?"

Rean bitterly smiled and nodded in the end. "Seems like the Hidden Realm has been found. Gragatou said we need to meet the Semi-Celestials and the other experts who will explore that realm in three months. He also said we better bring Kafan for our own safety."

Truth be told, it was Rean and Roan who asked Gragatou to warn them. That said, they shouldn't feel bad about it since that Hidden Realm deeply interests their group. What bothered Rean and Roan the most was the fact it came out together with the system's side quest. The system never gave anything that easily, so things were bound to be complicated once they arrived at that place. Let's not forget Roan's previous life seemed to be connected to it, too.

[There is no doubt that it is related to the Destiny Attraction Skill. If anything, now that Soul Gem is gone, you should expect this skill of the system to cause a lot more events around you than before.]

"There is no penalty," Rean quickly commented. "We can completely ignore this side quest and go to Hustis instead. Isn't that a lot better? Later, after the Semi-Celestials finish their exploration, we can pay it a visit."

Yet, Roan shook his head. "Change of plans. We are going to the Hidden Realm."

"Why?!" Rean felt like crying.

"Because we can understand the first sublaw within a fucking year!" Roan obviously answered. "That means we can breakthrough into the Middle Stage of the Space-Time Realm within a year, too. Not to mention, the reward of the system would answer our previous doubts. We would acquire Yin Yang Essence Energy with the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade."

"But you know the system never gives things that easily," Rean couldn't help but comment.

Yet, Roan's mind was set. "Enough complaining. We will travel back to the Central Region of the Realm of Gods and wait for my Master to come."

Rean sighed and gave up. "Well, if we don't while exploring a realm with a bunch of Semi-Celestials everywhere, then nothing will kill us in this Universe."

With that decided, Sister Orb asked something else. [Why did he say 'for your safety' in the message? It didn't feel like it was related to the danger of the Hidden Realm itself.]

"What else?" Rean could only think about one thing. "The Communication System has been spread everywhere, and I'm pretty much the only one the Rambram Sect and Dragon Race have no control over. They definitely guessed I was the one who spread it. There is bound to be a feeling of people angry with that, even if it was for the good of the Universe. Cultivators are selfish, after all."

[I see...] Sister Orb had to admit it made sense. [Now then, how exactly do you expect to enter into contact with Kafan? He is on the other side of the Universe, after all. Would he even know that this Hidden Realm was found?]

Yet, Roan shook his head. "There is no need to worry about that. He will definitely come to this side of the Universe. Did you forget? It was he who devised the method to find the Hidden Realm. I have no doubt part of the deal he had with Gragatou was to be told once the Hidden Realm location was ascertained."

Rean pondered a bit. "That's fine, but... How will we meet him? Should we go to the coordinates marked in the message and wait there? Seems quite risky, in my opinion, since we can definitely expect Devils, Angels, and even the Vruves to be present. Gragatou already made it clear back then. He will not look after us during the Hidden Realm exploration. We are not even worth being called ants in front of those experts."

"That one is easy," Roan answered. "We will take a ride with another Semi-Celestial."

Only then did Rean remember. "Oh! That's right! It should be about time for senior Huban to come out and show himself and his Essence Race to the world."

Back when the twins first visited the Essence Race, Huban told them that they would stay hidden until the war was over. Only after that would his Essence Race show to the Realm of Gods they still existed. Well, the war was over, so he might have come out already. If he didn't, he definitely will after the twins tell him about the Hidden Realm. He might already know about it, too.

Also, Huban and Kafan seem to be somewhat on good terms. Not only that, but Huban is aware that the twins are part of the plan to fix the Universe Foundation. They were sure Huban would at least offer some protection.

Thinking about that, Rean decided to check the news in the communication system again. Recently, news outlets were flooded by the events after the conclusion of the war. Not only that but the message about the incoming experts from another Universe could also be found everywhere. When compared to these two pieces of information, the appearance of the Essence Race didn't seem that important, so the news regarding it might be somewhat hidden.

"Oh, here it is..." Sure enough, Rean found it. "The Essence Race has already come out, having the three Peak Divinity Realm experts of their race at the head. Well, it makes sense since pretty much no one knows about the Semi-Celestials. I feel quite sad for them. They came out, but now pretty much no one cares."

Roan didn't see it like that. "If I were they, I would be happy instead. At least no one would think about suppressing the Essence Race with so many more troubles occurring elsewhere. That's the perfect environment to establish themselves back in the Realm of Gods."

Rean nodded. "Well, at least it shows where they have moved to. Let's pay them a visit.
