Death... and me
chapter-3101

"Seeing those new additions of Semi-Celestials and a bunch of Divinity Realm and below cultivators obviously made Garisan angry. They probably even wondered if Lisan Universe was keeping that force hidden, waiting to enter the battle at some other moment," Kentucky explained. "Obviously, we didn't answer that."

Truth be told, even Lisan Universe powers didn't know how many experts were hidden in the Vruve Organization. When the negotiation ended, and even more experts of the Vruve Organization appeared, Kafan and the others felt like they escaped an even worse situation.

In any case, the Vruves were on Lisan's 'side' during the negotiation, which is what mattered. As for their real plans, not even Kafan and Soul Gem could guess. No doubt they still wanted the Chaos Origin Source so Tuana could go back to her own Universe since she was a direct descendant of the Imperial Family there. To regain her position, she would need to present something like a Chaos Origin Source of her own. It's just that Kafan and the others didn't know how she would do that now.

"I can only imagine how much the Vruves hated that they couldn't do a thing," Roan snorted. "Was their leader there this time, at least?"

Kentucky shook his head. "Even at the negotiation table, the woman called Tuana never appeared. She used one of her subordinates to represent her."

Rean shrugged. "That woman hasn't appeared even once before, let alone now that Lisan won. Lisan could be said to be in its most unified form ever. She couldn't risk coming out of her Dimensional Realm in the Temporal Gap and have everyone ganging up on her."

Roan agreed. "Pretty useless, that is. Whatever. The point is that the negotiation happened. So, continue the story, Kentucky."

Kentucky proceeded as asked. During the negotiation, it was discussed the idea of Lisan Universe joining the Garisan Universe forces. It wasn't that Lisan wanted to be part of Garisan but that it had no other choice. Of course, the twins knew about this. That was the plan they had devised with Soul Gem way before the Final Battle. It was good that it was finally put into practice.

The reason for joining Garisan wasn't really fear of being attacked by Garisan again but by other Universes instead. One Garisan Empire had already brought them that close to destruction. Many Semi-Celestials of Lisan died, let alone cultivators from lower levels. If they couldn't join Garisan, Garisan would probably simply leave since defending them was also out of the question.

The next Universe that came by, and they would definitely come since no one was idiot enough to think there weren't spies inside Garisan, would be at full power. Could they stop another Garisan-like Universe with their reduced strength and resources? The answer was a big no! They would definitely fall, and they would fall fast.

Above all, Rean and Roan weren't there anymore. They were the ones with the power to transfer entire armies throughout the entire Lisan Universe in the blink of an eye. With Rean and Roan gone, Lisan lost a powerful trump card. Of course, Kentucky also explained to the twins that the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm still existed. However, it didn't have anyone controlling it. So, it went without saying that Kafan and the others quickly took it under the Lisan Universe's Wing before the Vruves could try their hand. Thanks to that, Lisan at least still had its Cultivation Paradise. After all, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm kept its direct connection to the Chaos Origin Source.

"So the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm didn't collapse without us..." Rean nodded, satisfied. "Lisa should be able to recover fast with that place intact," Roan agreed.

Kentucky didn't stop there. "Well, even though our Lisan Universe is now 'united,' it still has its strifes. Sooner or later, someone will try to take the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm for themselves. All forces in Lisan from the Devils, Realm of Gods, and Heavens are keeping a close eye on it."

Roan didn't seem worried. "While the risk of another Universe Invasion remains, everyone there will behave. It will take thousands of years before anyone idiot enough will try to take that Dimensional Realm for themselves. If they do, that will immediately start an internal war between all sides. Such a thing would be the doom of Lisan and obviously everyone inside."

"Soul Gem mentioned the same thing..." Roan's words reminded Kentucky. "Anyway..."

"Wait!" Rean remembered something. "What about Luan? He was our representative in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Can't he use it to appear and disappear anywhere in the Universe as well?"

Kentucky shook his head. "He was capable of doing that because the system existed... or so he thinks. After you two 'died,' he tried to use his rights to enter and leave the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, but he couldn't. The connection between him and the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm simply wasn't there anymore."

"I see..." Rean felt a little disappointed. "Alright, forget it. Resume your story."

Kentucky continued. The Lisan Universe had lost Rean and Roan and with that, their ability to send armies everywhere they wanted. However, the ones who knew the twins were responsible for that were only the top cultivators of the three Higher Realms.

Obviously, we are talking about Kafan, Soul Gem, Gragatou, Huban, etc. Garisan didn't know they had lost that power, and they absolutely wouldn't tell Garisan about that. In Garisan's eyes, they could do such a thing because of another Werdlem Treasure that they didn't know about.

"Garisan made one request to allow us to join their ranks," Kentucky mentioned. "We had to give them our Werdlem Treasures."

Rean laughed. "Hahaha! Are they crazy?! As if we would do such a thing."

"We would," Roan cut in, though. "Lisan had no other choice but to relent to that request."

"What?!" Rean was taken aback. "Why?"

Roan looked at Rean as if he was looking at an idiot. No, there was no 'ifs' here. Roan thought about Rean as an idiot to start with. That was his normal look. "Because of other Universes. Garisan can't conquer us anymore, but others definitely can. All they had to do was to leave and spread the word that Lisan has Werdlem Treasures. So, what can you do against that?"

Rean felt helpless. "Nothing. We could only relent... but not entirely, right?"

Kentucky confirmed. "Indeed."
