2738 Trying to Prevent Exactly That

Sonzei was truly without any idea of what to do. 'Rean, I'm not anywhere near as good as you said! Where did it all come from?' He asked through Divine Sense.

Rean shook his head. 'Weren't you the greatest prospect of your tribe? Just embrace it.'

Olvris wasn't finished yet. "Whatever. Even if he somehow miraculously wins against a Leviathan of the same level, so what? How does it prove we are wrong? In fact, it only proves we were right. Sharing our bloodline was the wrong decision."

Rean sighed in response. "Naive, too naive! You shouldn't think like that. Instead, what you should truly think is that perhaps allowing the Leviathan Bloodline to be shared is the best choice you could ever make. Leviathans are, without a doubt, Divine Demon Beasts, just like my friend Kentucky there. Their reproduction rate is terrible, right?"

"So?" Olvris asked.

Rean then pointed at Futula and then at the tribe members down. "Look at her. Because she got into a relationship with a human, she had just how many kids? That's the power of the humanoid races' bloodline for you. We are truly great at multiplying. Wouldn't your Leviathan Race benefit greatly from having such an easy way to spread the bloodline? Besides, you saw it yourself. If it even becomes out of control, you can simply stop. Within a few tens of generations, the bloodline you shared will dilute. At some point, according to your own words, it will completely disappear. You have nothing to lose, only to gain."

Olvris narrowed his eyes. "I can see the sense in your words. However, it is not easy for the Leviathans to accept such a thing, even if it is beneficial. Those are the rules."

"That's why I told you we should have a showdown between little Sonzei here and a Leviathan of the same level," Rean continued. "I need to correct one thing I said before. I said he could definitely defeat a Leviathan at the same level, but that's because I would help him with his training. Truth be told, he would, at most, match one if he was on his own. I just needed you to at least pay attention to what I had to say."

"But even if he could at most match one, wouldn't it be great for your Leviathan Race?" He asked. "You could form an arm of subordinates with the Leviathan Bloodline. Besides, you will definitely need all the strength you can get now that other Universes' experts are about to invade, don't you think? Even your world will not escape the calamity that is about to fall on all of us."

Roan immediately understood Rean's intention. 'The idiot is trying to get more Divinity Realm experts for the defense against the outside visitors...'

Both Olvris and Futula got confused. "What are you talking about?"

Rean's eyes opened wide, showing what seemed to be a truly shocked expression. "No, that's not possible! Doesn't matter how closed your Leviathan Race is, I refuse to believe you haven't heard about it. You definitely kept some way of contacting the outside world to know how things are going, no? Your subordinates should have told you by now."

Rean then looked at Futula. "As for you, you aren't even in the closed world of the Leviathans! With your power, shouldn't you have a friend or two who shared with you the news? How come you don't know anything?"

Olvris was the first to answer. "We kept no contact with the outside world whatsoever. Besides, it was separated from the outside due to those Natural Formation Artifacts. I only came out because I felt that brat's bloodline."

Futula followed. "In my case... Well, I returned to my tribe and stayed here for quite some time already. I didn't really make many friends in the past few thousand years. So... this is the first time I hear about it. You saw it yourself, didn't you? With my power, I could easily take control of this continent. How could anyone here go against my Divinity Realm power? Yet, I've never shown myself. That should make it pretty obvious I don't keep contact with anyone."

Rean dropped his head, feeling disheartened... on the surface. He already guessed it would happen, and now he has a way to force the Leviathan's hand. "Well, I'll use a Divine Sense Message to resume the overall situation of our Universe for you two."

The Divine Sense reached them like a lightning strike. The amount of information, as well as the repercussions, were all shown to them. Even at the Divinity Realm, it took those two a few seconds to organize everything they received from Rean in their minds.

"This..." Olvris was taken aback. Yet, he quickly recovered. "You don't expect me to simply trust all of this, right?"

Rean smiled in response. "There is a good thing about knowing your cultivation realm, senior Olvris. It is the fact that now I know there are many strong Leviathans in this world of yours. That said, why don't you have one of them go to the central region of the Realm of Gods? I can guarantee he will come back soon and tell you everything I just did. Senior Olvris... we both know that it is impossible for me to fool you with this information for long if it is a lie."

Olvris didn't like to admit, but he knew Rean was right. Indeed, now that a passage was opened to the Realm of Gods, it would indeed be very easy for him to confirm Rean's words about invaders. In fact, Rean's revelation now took overwhelming priority over the bloodline issue. "In that case, I will get my race to check the facts. For your own good, it is better to not be a lie."

"I'm overflowing with confidence," Rean answered.

Futula was still shocked by the information, though. "They tried to take this 'Chaos Origin Source' in the past, which seems to be the source of all cultivation energies of our Universe. That's what you said. Would they be able to do it now?"

"I don't know," Rean answered seriously. "But we are gathering as much strength as possible to prevent exactly that."
