Death... and me

Chapter 1895 Not Too Close

Rean didn't know what to say anymore. First of all, he didn't even know any other people with Star Bodies other than Roan, Luan, and the guy from Huring Sect Roan taught. 'Where do they come up with all of that?'

Roan shrugged his shoulders in response. 'That's their problem. Then again, it won't help much but confirm this guy's words since the Jakarta Sect obviously doesn't know about us.'

However, Rean immediately had an idea after hearing that. "Well, now you two know why the humanoid races are looking so much for me. Real Star Bodies are extremely rare, so they don't want to let me go. Guess it makes no sense to try and deny it anymore."

"So that's why all the humanoid race powers are on the lookout," Fran had to admit that it made sense. "Letting such a rare Star Body User go is indeed too much to bear."

However, Fran also smiled after there. "Well, I guess the Jakarta Sect will pay quite a good price for you."

Rean didn't seem to mind, replying, "It's not like I'm going to be killed or anything. I just didn't want to live under all that pressure anymore."

"No wonder you and Jakar get along well," Fran mentioned. "You two simply can't understand how important your existences are for the races you came from."

Rean snorted in response. "Hmph! And you don't understand how annoying this notion of yours is for him and me. However, I have a deal with you, so I hope you won't go back on your word. I really need those Iridescent Tears, even if I end up in the hands of my Jakarta Sect again."

Fran was surprised that Rean still wanted to go ahead with that deal. "I guess that since you had similar experiences, there's indeed a chance that you can convince him. Yet, wouldn't you convince him to do the opposite instead? You do know how he feels, even though your feelings are wrong."

"This is this, and that is that. You also know Jakar dragged me into this mess between you and his race even though he didn't really know me. Why should I be his friend now? I'm a lot more interested in my Iridescent Tears. Let me ask you. If you were me and were dragged into this just like how I ended up, would you try to help him?"

"No chance," Fran answered without thinking twice. "Very well, it'll still take a few days until I can bring the Jakarta Sect here anyway. If you convince Jakar to stop trying to run away during this time, you'll get your Iridescent Tears."

Fran then looked at Gludi-otta, saying, "Sir, are you okay with this?"

Gludi-otta didn't seem to have any issues. "That's why you called us here, wasn't it? To figure out this guy's real identity. It makes sense that we can't look into his past if the top elders of the Jakarta Sect used their power to seal it. If I had known it from the start, I wouldn't have tried to do that. In any case, that's who he is and why the humanoid races are looking for him. My work here is done."

Gludi-otta and his other Glimpse Race members prepared to leave. "Alright, bring us to the mountain range entrance. Whatever you do here onwards is your problem. We have repaid our debt."

Fran nodded as he was happy that Gludi-otta and his Glimpse Race wouldn't get involved in the matter. If they insisted on having a say, even his Winged Provis Race would have to make some concessions. "Absolutely. I'll bring you out straight away."

Spatial Power interacted with everyone there before Rean and the others reappeared at the entrance once again. After paying his respects, Fran saw Gludi-otta and his companions leave the sect, accompanied by a few guardians from other races. With that, he looked at Rean. 'You can continue your work here while I fetch Jakar. You'll have five days, which is how long it will take to bring your elders to take you back.'

Rean nodded with a slightly unhappy expression. 'Fine! However, can't you make some other deal between us to not have me sent back to Jakarta? Who knows? Perhaps instead of the Iridescent Tears, you'll give my freedom back.'

Fran immediately shook his head. 'Even if you could guarantee your part of the deal, I wouldn't do it. Getting you back to the humanoid race is a lot more important. We don't want to ruin the friendship between the powers while the devils are still there.'

'Sigh... I thought so. Then you better give me my Iridescent Tears.' Rean could only give up. Well, in fact, that was just a pretense. If anything, Rean and Roan were grateful for the unexpected piece of information.

Fran also took the opportunity to ask. 'By the way, you aren't the only one they are looking for, no? What happened to the rest of the people? We checked your dimensional realm, so I know you don't have them with you.'

Rean smiled in response. 'Senior, you aren't an idiot. What would be the best thing to do after we got away?'

Fran nodded, replying, 'You obviously split so that you wouldn't all be caught at the same time if you were found. That's the simplest answer.' He just asked as a formality. He didn't have any intention of looking for the rest.

'There you go then,' Rean answered. 'Wherever they went, I have no idea. I didn't tell anyone where I was going either.'

Fran then turned around and decided to leave. 'Anyways, I'm going. You better don't think about escaping. There are quite a few eyes on you.' After that, he disappeared without a trace. Well, Rean already knew that even if Fran hadn't mentioned it.

'So the Jakarta Sect, the angels, and the devils also have Starlight Body Cultivation Technique users, huh?' Roan suddenly mentioned from within the Dimensional Realm.

Rean agreed with him. 'However, from the looks of it, they don't know your trick to find their real star. Otherwise, the Jakarta Sect would be full of people with Star Bodies. From the looks of it, they're just using brute force. Just have as many Star Body users as possible and wait until one of them finds their real star.'

Roan nodded in response. 'That's a place we shouldn't get too close to for the time being.'
