Death... and me

3036  Someone to Meet

Didn't Tony say that he absolutely wouldn't select someone who only cared about cultivation? When Rean saw Foliana in the Spiritual Canyon Caves deeper into the Spiritual Pond, he immediately remembered what she said to be her dream.

However, there was a problem. Tony also mentioned that the person in question has to be compatible to the Divine Werdlem Stone. So, at first, Rean wasn't very hopeful of the idea... until he heard about the Red Lightning Hawk and the bloodline left behind.

Tony was in the Sunlight Realm, and he seemed to be connected to the Golden Crow somehow. Unfortunately, he only gained consciousness many years after the Divine Werdlem Stone was left in the treasure room. That means he doesn't know much about the past of the Divine Werdlem Stone he lives in.

Later on, Rean found Havira, but she obviously didn't have a need for the Divine Werdlem Stone herself. She could use her powers and left soon after they finished their conversation, bringing her son with her. If that was the case, who was the owner of the Divine Werdlem Stone? Rean began to consider it wasn't from any one of the human races. Instead, it had to be a Demon Beast or a Spirit.

There was a reason for that. Rean flew around the capital, where billions of people live. He also was there when all the experts left the Sunlight Realm, most of them, obviously, members of different humanoid races and part of the strongest experts on the planet.

Yet, Tony said none of them was compatible with the Divine Werdlem Stone. That's when Rean had the idea that the Divine Werdlem Stone wasn't supposed to be from the humanoid races in the first place. When he found out Foliana would end up being a mix of Demon Beast and Human, he thought of the idea. Perhaps she would be just the perfect combination for Tony's Divine Werdlem Stone.

Sure enough, after Foliana finished absorbing all the Essence Blood from the Red Lightning Hawk, Tony was able to feel the compatibility. Tony was indeed a Divine Werdlem Stone from a Demon Beast, so only a Demon Beast, or at least someone with Demon Beast bloodline, would be compatible with him.

Above all, Foliana spoke of her dream several times. She had no intent of spend the rest of her life cultivating, cultivating, and cultivating even more. She wanted to go out, travel through the stars, and even visit other Universes. She wanted to learn about the history of everyone and everything. History... was her passion.

Wasn't that exactly the type of host that Tony needed? Some who would have a fun life, adventure into many unknown areas, never content to be in one place? That's the kind of partner he desired. Not to mention, Tony saw what Rean and Roan did for the girl. They just transformed her into an unbelievably hot prospect.

Sure, she would still need to stop to cultivate to gain more Lifespan. But with her new talent level, the treasures of this place, and his help as a Divine Werdlem Stone, she definitely would soar through the skies! She wouldn't spend so much time cultivating as most people, either. She was perfect!

'So...' Rean spoke to Tony, 'how does it work? Should I just bring Foliana to you, and you will swap her Werdlem Stone for a Divine Werdlem Stone instead?'

Tony explained. 'It is not that simple. There are bound to be some complications. Her Werdlem Stone has to be removed, and I should be put in its place, but the normal Werdlem Stone is connected to all the meridians connected to her Dantian. It is a dangerous process.'

Rean narrowed his eyes. 'What about the Transition Realm experts who get their hands on it. Is it also dangerous for them?'

'That I can't say,' Tony continued. 'I heard about the Millennial Werdlem Stone Contest. I think it is safe to say that the Werdlem Empire has its own methods of swapping stones. That is not to say it is impossible, of course. If it wasn't possible to make the swap without the Werdlem Empire, all those Transition Realm experts wouldn't have fought so hard in the Sunlight Realm just so they could find me.'

Rean had to admit Tony was right. 'That's to say that they would attempt the swap themselves. Well, if there is one person in this world who can make a swap as perfect as possible, that person must be me.'

Rean wasn't kidding. He knowledge about the body of humans, demon beasts, and even spirits was within the best you could find in the entire universe. He spent a very, very, very long time learning the most possible, and it all started way back in the Sunkan Planet. It never stopped after that. Roan could achieve almost the same proficiency as Rean, but that's because Rean shared his knowledge through their soul connection.

Tony obviously didn't know that. 'Are you sure you can do it? Perhaps it is better for me and Foliana to do it by themselves.'

'Don't worry,' Rean smiled. 'I'm not kidding. I'm truly your best possible option in countless light years of distance.'

That also reminded Rean of something. The Soul Gem System was paying Celestial Points to find a host for the Divine Werdlem Stone. Perhaps it had considered Rean's proficiency in all races' biologies from the start.

Rean then checked the time. "Well then, we have another two hours before we need to leave."

Foliana was already walking to the exit. "Then let's go back now, Rean. I want to go into seclusion and cultivate for a while. I might not like it, but I think I need to at least grow a little bit stronger before attempting to travel the world on my own. My dream will be of no use if I can't stay alive, right?"

Rean smiled. "Before that, there is someone I want you to meet."

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
