Death... and me
chapter-2676

Roan even wondered if the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm had similar properties to his planet because his soul came from a Loporrit. Yet, that was a question no one could answer. 'Just what am I going to tell Lolio...' Bunbun said without much confidence.

Roan glanced at Kafan. 'Is there no way to recover the soul used to transform me into a Death Spirit?'

'Not that I'm aware of,' Kafan didn't lie. 'If such a way existed, I would have told you already.'

Celis couldn't help but ask. 'Ahem... So, did the Universe Sentience tell you how to reach the Celestial Realm?' In the end, he was still more concerned about his own cultivation than anything else.

'No,' Kafan shook his head in response. 'Since I didn't want to leave our Universe, it simply said there was no point in telling me. Besides, even if I wanted to leave the Universe, it wouldn't have told me the method anyway.'

'That's because you were encharged of destroying the Foreign Universe Foundation Fragment,' Roan completed.

'Exactly,' Kafan nodded. 'Even if the Universe Sentience decided to help me, it would be as a reward for completing the mission it passed me. In any case, I wanted to go back to this world and help restore it. There was no need for any reward, so the Universe Sentience sent me out. I have never heard about it again.' Of course, he did hear about it. Kafan knew it was Sister Orb. But, at the same time, he knew Sister Orb had her memories sealed, so it was useless to point it out.

With that, the story that brought everyone to this point was finally finished. Bunbun took his time to ask about the other things mentioned in the story, and Rean explained everything while keeping just the system information out.

Finally, Bunbun looked at Kafan from his hidden location and snorted. 'Regardless of your feelings, I still don't forgive you. However, your strength will most likely be necessary for us to recover the Purple Crystal. If you truly regret your past decisions, help them acquire it.'

Kafan didn't mind. 'As long as Roan can really isolate the Purple Crystal from the Foreign Fragment, I have no issues with this arrangement. I also want to meet Lolio again. I think I can convince him to not give up his life after he finds out Laweia is really gone.'

'I'll hold to your word,' Bunbun nodded, also concerned about Lolio.

Kafan then returned to the Semi-Celestials group where they were discussing their next steps. As for Bunbun, he went silent again and kept observing everything happening around him. That left the twins' group without much to do for the next hours.

"So... do we just wait?" Rean asked.

"If you have a better idea, go ahead," Roan answered without caring much.

Rean pondered a bit and remembered something. He then looked around, trying to find someone. "Hum... Seems like Red hasn't reached this place."

"That's obvious," Kentucky spoke. "Red was only in the Middle Stage of the Space-Bending Realm. Can you see anyone at this level here? Everyone is pretty much in the Space-Time Realm or above. There are a few in the Elemental Space Realm, but these are already the top ones."

"I guess you are right," Rean nodded.

"Why the question?" Roan asked back.

Rean then took out the claw Red had given him in case he wanted to contact Red. It seemed to pulsate slightly, which also happened when Red was close by. "As long as I pour my Divine Sense inside, it will show me the direction Red is located. At the moment, it has a very big reaction, just like when we were talking to Red. Yet, he is nowhere to be seen, so I got a little confused."

"Where is it pointing to?" Roan asked again.

Rean then pointed to a group of Demon Beasts not too far away. There, one could see quite a few Demon Beasts, including three Golden Drohares, the same race as Red. One of them was the Middle Stage Divinity Realm Golden Drohare that Red called master, Flan.

Roan then sent his Divine Sense inside, and sure enough, he could feel Red's presence coming from the Golden Drohare in the distance. Or, to be more specific, he could feel the presence of a similar item that Red held back then. "Red is most likely inside that guy's Pocket Dimensional Realm. Red did say he received these tracking items from his master, after all. They must have met at some point."

Rean smiled. "I'll go pay them a visit. It's not like I have to do anyway."

"Suit yourself," Roan didn't care. Celis also didn't pay attention, so they remained behind with Roan. Only Rean and Kentucky went to talk to the Golden Drohare.

"Hello, sir." Rean approached the Golden Drohares. "Have you seen Red?"

Flan looked at Rean emotionlessly. Everyone around looked at Rean with some interest after the Loporrit, Bunbun, intervened for him. It seemed like he had acquired quite a high Chaos Cultivation. Yet, Flan seemed completely numb to it all. Not only him, but the other two Drohares on his side, two Space-Time Realm experts, looked to be just like him.

In the end, no answer came from Flan nor the other two Golden Drohares, which didn't make Rean and Kentucky very happy. "Sir, you could at least answer my question."

"Scram!" Flan answered in an annoyed tone before resuming his silence.

Rean and Kentkcuy looked at each other. Well, it wasn't like they had to answer Rean anyway. They weren't about to start a fight here either, so Rean and Kentucky could only make their way back to Roan and Celis.

"What's their problem," Rean couldn't help but complain.

Roan glanced at the Golden Drohare from his position and narrowed his eyes. "The Chaos Cultivation in that guy's body... feels weird. All three of them."

"It does?" Rean and Kentucky looked back at the Golden Drohares but didn't feel anything strange.

Roan then took his eyes away. He could feel it because of his connection with the Loporrits. Still, it was just a feeling, so he only made a quick mental note and didn't pay more attention to it.
