Death... and me

Chapter 2628  Old Friend

Rean looked to the side and immediately identified that person... no, that was a Demon Beast. "Wait... I can't believe it! Red?!"

Roan already began to feel a headache. "Not you..."

Red's mouth twitched. "What do you mean by 'not you?' Did you forget who helped your wives when they arrived in the Realm of Gods? How about a little more gratitude?"

Red Streak, the Golden Drohare from back in the Zasfins Planet. When the twins ascended with everyone, the system changed their path, which caused the twins to be separated from their wives and friends during the passage. Red was one of them.

The formation used to go to the Realm of Gods was related to the Demon Beasts, so other than the twins, everyone else ended up in the Demon Beasts Territories. Red, as a Divine Demon Beast, used his influence to find his own race in the Realm of Gods. It was also there that he helped the rest of the twins' group that ascended with them.

Several years later, when the twins used a favor they acquired from the Rambram Sect, Qia and the others finally found out that the twins weren't in the Demon Beasts' Territories. So, Red gave that group a lot of resources and stayed behind since that was his real home. That was the last time Qia and the others heard from Red.

Rean smiled and quickly patted Red's shoulder. "Oh, come on, you know him. He is simply no fun whatsoever. Just pretend he doesn't exist. I do that all of the time, and it is quite helpful. Look."

Rean then looked in Roan's direction, yet it was as if he was seeing through Roan and into the distance. "Just like this. See? Who is Roan? I don't know, and I definitely don't want to know."

"That's true," Red nodded, being well aware of Roan's personality, so he copied Rean. "That's indeed very helpful; I see no one there anymore."

A vein popped out of Roan's head. If they weren't in this situation, he definitely would have attacked already.

Rean then returned his attention to Red, ignoring the rage rising near them. "Anyway, Red, thank you very much. Qia, Calina, and Zuo were able to reach us in the end because of all the help you got for them in your race. The block of ice doesn't say it, but I'm sure that deep, deep, deep, deep, deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep down, he is slightly thankful, just slightly."

"Hmph!" Roan decided to ignore those two and move away, back to the Essence Race members. However, as he moved away, he left a few words behind. "I shall pay this favor."

Red couldn't help but feel confused. "That was a threat, right? He will pay the favor for the joke we pulled on him, won't he?"

Rean smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, he was definitely talking about the fact you helped Qia and Zuo, his wife and disciple. Well, it is hard to tell if you haven't lived within that freezing environment as long as me."

Rean then changed the topic. "Anyway, Red, why are you here? Do you have any idea with you are getting yourself into?"

Red nodded with confidence. "Of course I do! I came here with my master. Hear and fear, my master is Flan, a Middle Stage Divinity Realm Golden Drohare expert! My obvious talents caught his eye, and I have been training under his guidance ever since."

Rean checked his cultivation. "You have improved a lot indeed, already in the Middle Stage of the Space-Bending Realm." However, that didn't give Rean much confidence. "But I still think you shouldn't have come. Even the Semi-Celestials understand that this might be a dangerous exploration."

Red was a direct disciple of a Divinity Realm Demon Beast, so he was obviously told about the existence of Semi-Celestials, especially since he was here in this place. "My master warned me of the same thing. However, I just couldn't let this chance pass. I intend to reach the Space-Time Realm one day, so I came to gather as many items with Chaos Laws as possible so that I can use them myself. Would you let such a chance go?"

Rean had to admit he wouldn't. "Fine, it is definitely a great opportunity."

"What about you?" Red asked Rean. "I can't se your cultivation. Could it be you already reached the Elemental Space Realm? That was even faster than me."

Rean smiled again and opened his cultivation so that Red could see it with his Divine Sense. Immediately, Red's expression changed into disbelief. "S-Space-Time Realm?! What kind of monster training did you go through?!"

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "Well, a lot of things happened since we got separated."

"Is Calina and everyone else just like you now?" Red asked back.

Rean obviously shook his head. "Of course not! What do you think cultivation is, a walk in the park? They are still very far from the Space-Bending Realm. I don't think they will get there anytime soon. You should be proud of your achievements."

"What achievements? Compared to you and Roan, I'm pretty much nothing..." Red sighed. "However, that only makes me even more determined. I will definitely find a lot of Chaos Laws items and use them all when I reach the Space-Time Realm."

"Well, as a Divine Demon Beast, you definitely have all you need," Rean didn't doubt Red would get there. "But that is only possible if you are alive. When you go in there, make sure to stay close to your master. A Divinity Realm expert should prove useful to survive in that place... I think. No one knows what to expect inside that place, after all."

However, Red shook his head. "That's not gonna happen. The Divinity Realm experts have already decided that they can't waste time with low-level experts, and my master is one of them. Once they get inside, they will advance on their own. Everyone else will have to survive by themselves."
