Death... and me

Chapter 1773 Shaping the Army

Of course, Jessica said it would take at least two weeks to create the new management system separated from the sect’s before she could input everything inside. Since only a week had passed, she still had a lot of work to do.

The office of the sect had been increased in size many times over. However, due to the lack of things that could be done at the moment, more than 90% of it was empty. Now, however, every single station was occupied as the System Sect disciples taught Ganhan’s subordinates about it. At the same time, Ganhan’s subordinates taught them all they needed to know about the country’s management. ‘Eliana really did a great job. She already built this place thinking about the day when the sect would be a gigantic power. I can see that the sect management office has a lot of room to grow in size if needed.’

Eventually, Rean found Ganhan amidst the chaos. “Oh, Ganhan! There you are!”

Ganhan, who was spending most of his time with Jessica, immediately noticed Rean. “What is it? If it’s not important, don’t bother me. I’m learning how to use the management system.”

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. “Alright, I’ll be quick. I need you to give me all the information on the cultivators, demon beasts, and spirits at the Elemental Transformation Realm and Transition Realm in Butiva Country.”

Naturally, Ganhan was confused when he heard that. “What are you talking about? There isn’t anyone like that at the moment. The Cultivation Suppressing Formation is keeping everyone at the Peak Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.”

Rean then held Ganhan’s hand and put a badge on it. “Use a drop of your blood and your Divine Sense to bind it.”

“This…” How could Ganhan not recognize the badge? “Where did you get this badge?”

“Where?” Rean could not help but laugh in response. “Hahaha! Isn’t that obvious? I made it! Now, give it a try.”

Ganhan obviously tried it out straight away. Sure enough, his cultivation quickly returned to normal as it surpassed the Space Bending Realm in just a few seconds. “It… really works. But, is it okay to make such a thing?”

Rean smiled playfully, saying, “Rambram Sect’s rule for this competition spoke by the Rambram Sect Master himself. If it isn’t in the rules, it’s not against it!”

Ganhan obviously knew every single rule that was told that day in the meeting. Sure enough, there wasn’t a single rule saying that the badges couldn’t be copied or used. ‘Still, isn’t this a bit too fast? These badges are far above the level of Formation Masters that came to this competition. How did he do it?’

Already guessing what Ganhan was thinking, Rean explained, “The badge you’re holding isn’t the same one given to Roan, Luina, and me. There were many runes there that far surpassed the Divine Low-level. However, I only had to swap them with other runes, which I believed could do the same job. Sure, I failed many times, but ultimately, I got them working properly.”

Ganhan looked at Rean as if he was looking at a monster. ‘Swapping them out? As if it’s that easy! Just what kind of sorcery did he use to make it work?’ Of course, he had no idea that Rean could simulate everything in the Dimensional Realm.

“Anyways,” Rean continued. “If we want to win this continent competition, we need a lot more raw power! That’s why I asked you to give me information about those cultivators, demon beasts, and spirits. They will be the vanguard of our striking force.”

One must remember that everyone in this Free Continent that was in the Void Tempering Realm and above was removed from here. Naturally, Transition Realm was the highest level one could find still lingering around. However, that was more than enough.

“A-Alright… I’ll have everything arranged for you.” Ganhan could only sigh and agree with Rean’s request. By now, he was wondering if this Free Continent Competiton could be won by anyone else other than the twins’ group.

“Good!” Rean was happy to hear that. “By the way, where’s Roan? I can feel that he’s quite far away from here.”

Meanwhile, at one of the city borders, Roan was watching over the training of millions of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, demon beasts, and spirits. Well, to be more specific, he was commanding their leader, who passed over his orders. There was just way too many recruits to go teach one by one.

That wasn’t a problem, though. First, the country had its own military officers with their own experiences. Not to mention that his own sect’s cultivators that were trained in commanding methods were there as well. Under his watchful eyes, everything was going smoothly.

“Alright, this army is coming along nicely. Remember, this army has to have the battle formations I passed to you mastered in at most three months. Understood? Your communication badges aren’t working yet, but they should be in about eight days. You can contact me if something happens.”

All the commanding officers nodded in response. “Understood!”

Soon after, Roan stepped on the teleport formation and headed straight to another city where another army was gathered. Just like that, Roan went to the several battlefronts where the wars would start. Well, they weren’t battlefronts yet. But they would be as soon as Roan needed to have control over the entire Walfure Region before ten years were up. Time was key!

“Hmm?” However, before he could do that, his Divine Sense bending skill caught something. “Oh-ho… they already sent someone to take a look, huh?”

At the same time, a cultivator at the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm was floating far above the skies as he looked at that army and murmured, “Hmm… this is supposed to be Luina’s army, I believe? Well, there isn’t much point in paying attention to it. If her army ever becomes necessary, that’s because we’re losing the continental war. She will never have a chance to use them for an attack as the other countries around won’t allow her to pass through their territories.”

Suddenly, he noticed that Roan was looking in his direction due to Roan’s own Divine Sense. “Oops! I better head out first.”

Back down, Roan was quite surprised. He didn’t expect anyone to send their own Transition Realm subordinates to check Butiva anytime soon. Of course, it was even more unlikely for the Space Bending Realm disciples to come themselves. They were the main forces in their countries, and they were supposed to be very, very busy at the moment. What Roan expected to happen was for many Nascent Soul Realm beings to come instead. That way, they could blend in with the crowd as everyone had similar cultivations due to the suppression formation.

‘Whoever sent this guy is definitely a very cautious person. I reckon that no more than two or three disciples of the Jamai Sect will send their own subordinates in the Transition Realm to check on us. This is the first one, it seems. Then again, it was faster than I expected, which is good.’

Roan snorted right after as he looked at the guy’s complacent expression. ‘Hmph! The guy’s thoughts are so obvious that I don’t even need to intervene. Well, he won’t come back anytime soon after seeing us. He probably deemed us not worth his country’s attention. That works for me.’ With that, Roan stepped on the teleport formation and disappeared.
