Death... and me

Chapter 2483 Hyeoumu?

"Father, it will take some time for me to stabilize my cultivation even with your pills. Do you need me to do something else during this time?" Luan asked, eager to try out his new strength in the Elemental Space Realm.

Roan pondered a bit. Nothing was better than a battle to stabilize one's cultivation. It can't be a training like what he does, but a real battle. "Have you considered joining the war against the Devils?"

Luan was taken aback. "This... I can't say I haven't thought about that. However, aren't all the armies at a standstill because of the Living Soul Devil? Even if I join any of the armies, there would be no battles for me to participate, no?"

Roan shook his head. "That's only regarding large-scale battles. Do you really think all cultivators are just standing there, doing nothing? I can guarantee there are plenty of groups doing small skirmishes right and left, even if the Divinity Realm Experts and Elder Devils aren't moving. Just join any of those groups or build your one."

Rean agreed with Roan. "He is right. We will stay here for another four years at least. That's plenty of time for you to go out and gain more experience. Besides, it is not like you must join the army. I told you before. You are free, so you can go out and find other ways to train yourself."

Roan continued from there. "However, do not get ahead of yourself. Just because you have a strength above your Realm doesn't mean there aren't Devils who can do the same. Just take these four years to learn what you can and come back. We already have a destination once our training here is over."

Luan quickly nodded. "Yes, Father, Uncle Rean!" Luan had no issues with resources, so he got a few more Divine Stones from the twins and left. He even decided that he would use his Merit Points to buy more of those Serene Golden Filaments since Rean was going to make that new armor for him as well. Rean said he already had enough, but Luan preferred to be safe. Luan then left the concealing formation, heading to the nearest city.

Rean and Roan returned to their workshops after that. There wasn't much they could do other than hope everything went fine for Luan.

Once again, another two years went by in a flash. Other than the sporadical complaining from Kentucky about him being bored of cultivating, nothing else changed much.

*Rumble!*

Yet, the calm didn't last long. The ground began to tremble nonstop, catching the twins' attention. They came out of their workshop and spread their Divine Senses. As far as they could see, the Earthquake was affecting everything. 

*Bzzz...*.com

Following that, Rean's communication badge came to life as someone was calling him. "Qia? What is it?"

'Rean? Havek just called me. Can you feel the Earthquake?' Qia went straight to the point.

Rean was surprised to hear that since the Dragon Race Territory was countless kilometers of distance from where he was now. Yet, the same Earthquake was happening there. Not only that, but it was also hitting Havek's location, which was also far away in another direction.

Rean then looked at Roan, who seemed to have had the same idea as him. "Check the information in the communication system. See if the same is happening all over the Realm of Gods."

Rean nodded and quickly looked for the information. Sure enough, an unlimited number of calls and messages were going everywhere about this phenomenon. "Indeed, as far as I can see, it is happening all over the Realm of Gods."

Roan then looked to the ground before commenting. "Could it be Hyeoumu?"

"Only Hyeoumu could cause an Earthquake of this size, right?" Rean also thought the same thing as Roan.

A few minutes later, the trembling stopped around them, and so it did in the entire Realm of Gods.

Rean and Roan reached the same conclusion after seeing that. "Most likely, Hyeoumu can't hold his chaotic energy anymore. That means the Continental Barriers are about to come back."

Rean then checked the communication system. If the Continental Barriers did really reappear, there should be a lot of messages regarding this issue all over. Yet, other than all the confusion about the Earthquakes, there was pretty much nothing regarding the Continental Barriers. "It doesn't seem the Continental Barriers are back yet."

Roan turned around, walking back to the Alchemy Workshop. "Hyeoumu might be reaching his limit, but that doesn't mean he is already there. Besides, this is just our conjecture. This Earthquake might have been for another reason unrelated to Hyeoumu, too. The best we can do is to ignore it and continue our work."

Rean saw that and pondered a bit. After a moment, he finally decided to contact Flinyu, the Peak Stage Divinity Realm expert. 'Senior Flinyu, you definitely noticed this Earthquake. Considering that it was you guys who made a deal with senior Hyeoumu on behalf of the Realm of Gods, you sure have some information related to it, right?'

Rean then put his communication badge away. He didn't call Flinyu, only left a message. Considering what just happened, Flinyu was bound to be busy, so Rean believed Flinyu or maybe Folesve would take a long time before they answered.

Rean was right, it wasn't before three days later that he finally got an answer from Flinyu. 'At least you are sensible to not call during that time and only leave a message. Anyway, we also thought the Earthquake was related to senior Hyeoumu. The Continental barriers are supposed to stay down for a long time, so this sudden change also caught our attention. However, Hyeoumu told us that it wasn't him who did that. Simply put, it wasn't Hyeoumu who began to shake. It seems to be something related to the Universe itself. We are still investigating what caused it, though. If we find something, I'll let you know.'

"The Universe itself?" Rean truly didn't expect that.
