Death... and me

Chapter 3081  Going Around

Rean used his Spiritual Energy and landed Yuan nearby as he looked at that soul. Just like the blueish color of the Charybdis Body, the soul also carried the same features. Looking from the outside, it seemed quite small. Rean knew better, though. The power of that Soul was definitely no smaller than his own Peak Divinity Realm Soul.

The small figure trembled a little and began to move sluggish. The slumber forced by the Prison wasn't easy to shake off, but the small figure of the Charybdis Soul did its best. At the same time, the brain matter around Rean seemed to react to the small soul's presence.

Finally, with a last shake of its body, the little soul completely woke up. Its small Charybdis form then shot its many tentacles in all directions, only evading Rean, Yuan, and Uruavis on the back. Rean saw the small figure disappearing little by little, merging back to its brain and body.

It took a few minutes, but the little figure disappeared completely, now completely back in control. *Zum...*

Then, a projection of the same small figure appeared in front of Rean, Yuan, and Uruavis. Anyone could guess that the projection was the Charybdis Mother's doing, but Uruavis was still the most affected. Uruavis couldn't even move anymore, but the excitement he felt was obvious for anyone to see. "Mother! You are awake! You are awake!"

The small figure projection then changed from the Charybdis Form into a humanoid one, depicting a genderless person. Its Divine Sense quickly reached Rean, Yuan, and Uruavis' minds. 'The Spiritual Prison is finally broken... Uruavis, you did well.'

"I'm not deserving of such words. It took me over five hundred thousand years to come here with the sacred envoys," Uruavis spoke back.

The small figure's Divine Sense and Energy immediately rushed into Uruavis's Body. The deterioration of his soul stopped and began to revert. Even the body seemed to recover faster than Rean's Instant Recovery Skill. Seeing that Uruavis was fine, the Charybdis Mother nodded, satisfied.

She then turned in Rean and Yuan's direction, narrowing her eyes. 'Sacred Envoys... neither of them are the envoys I prophetized to come.'

"They aren't?" Uruavis was taken aback. He knew that there was a change of Rean and Yuan not being the envoys. However, if that was the case, the answer would be obvious once they failed to break the Spiritual Prison. Rean and Yuan did break the prison, though. "But then what about the Spiritual Prison?"

The Charybdis Mother nodded while still looking at Rean and Yuan. 'Who are you? Why did you come here? Also, why did you help me?'

Rean was the one to talk since Yuan was whole focused on making all the Charybdis Mother's Bloodline his own. "Hello there! My name is Rean. I just happened to get curious about this place and entered those Spatial Rifts you used to feed your body. That's where I found Uruavis and the others. Now, about the sacred envoy thing, I also have no idea what it was about. I just helped because he asked me to help."

The Charybdis Mother's projection narrowed her eyes, finding it hard that Rean would go through so much trouble for nothing. Her Divine Sense spread all over her body, but she didn't find anything wrong with it, which made her even more suspicious. 'There is no such thing as free lunch in this Universe. Speak, what do you want? I refuse to believe you are that nice of a person.'

Rean shrugged. He wasn't angry or anything. After all, even he would have felt suspicious of such a situation. "Well, whether you want to believe it or not, that's your problem. Can you see my friend over there? He got the Bloodline Essence that your Spiritual Prison was made of. Let's just say that is all the payment I need. By the way, how can I address you? Sure you had a name when you were free, right?"

The Charybdis Mother's Projection nodded. 'You can call me ##########.'

Rean was taken aback. "Sorry, what was that? For a moment, it was as if your voice was scrambled or something."

'############# is my name,' The Charybdis Mother repeated.

Yet, Rean was completely unable to hear it. 'Roan, did you hear it?'

Roan, who was watching everything, shook his head. 'I couldn't make sense of it at all.'

Rean bitterly smiled. "Sorry, senior Charybdis. There seems to be something wrong when you speak your name. Or could it be you are doing it on purpose for fun?"

'I see... the Werdlem Empire Bubble is still there, it seems. My real name can't be pronounced in this place,' the Charybdis Mother spoke. 'In that case, call me Laiana. It is a name I got back when traveling through the Great Void.'

Rean took a deep breath. "Traveling through the Great Void... Were you perhaps in the Celestial Realm?"

Laiana shook her head. 'I was above that, but it was in the past. I have fallen deeply in cultivation, and now I'm at the Fifth Level of Bloodline Cultivation. For you humans, that would be somewhat equivalent to the Divinity Realm. Well, you are... were a Divinity Realm expert before, so you should have an idea.'

Rean scratched the back of his head. Sure enough, Laiana found out about his Peak Divinity Realm Soul pretty easily. "Many things happened that ended with me landing on this planet. Let me ask. Are you also not someone from inside the Werdlem Empire Bubble?"

Laiana confirmed. 'That is right and wrong at the same time. Let's just say that I don't have a Universe, which I can call home like you probably do.'

Rean wondered if Laiana's Universe was destroyed in the past. He wasn't an idiot, though. It was better to not inquire too much about such a sensitive topic. He also wanted to ask about the fact that Laiana was not affected by the Werdlem Empire's grasp of Cultivation Energies. However, he was not supposed to know that. It was the system that pointed it out in the quest. So... he went around this problem. "Well, I guess we are done here. By the way, why were you locked in this place?"
