Death... and me

Chapter 3157: An Order From Outside

Herfin obviously hated how Rean simply took his bottle away from him. He never said he would offer all the liquid. Too bad that it was too late now. "Hmph! Then that's it. But you must not take the blood from the rest of my family either."

Jruntu was confused. He didn't know his son had that, and he didn't know what it was. Of course, he wouldn't ask about it in front of Rean. It was better to do it after they went back.

Rean knew that he still had several other clients, and they might do just like Jruntu, bringing their families. In that case, he saw no reason to refuse. If anything, Rean felt like he was gaining a lot more than if he had got the blood. "Hum... very well. This liquid is of extreme importance to me, even surpassing the blood. I will work on your family as well and won't ask for any more blood."

Naturally, the Salamanders were delighted to hear that. Trading something else was good, as long as it wasn't any part of their bodies since they considered it shameful. Jruntu, naturally, was of the same mind.

Rean worked on everyone for the next two hours, taking his leisure time to make sure he did good work. As he finished one, that Salamander immediately went to the skies to fight Herfin or someone else. If they had any doubts before, now they are absolutely sure that this was the right call.

"Phew..." Rean left Jruntu for last. "Alright, Senior Jruntu. It is done. You should be able to use two Dragon Breaths, just like Ambrisio and Gwart did."

Jruntu understood that by just feeling his body. Nonetheless, seeing is believing. He rose to the skies and released the Dragon Race Signature's attack two times before he grew weak. Nonetheless, his excitement to finally have his conflict resolved was easy to see. "Hahaha! To think a day came when I wouldn't feel any pain when using my bloodline."

Rean jumped on Kentucky's back, waving his hand at the Salamanders. "Alright, this is it for all of us. Let's hope this is a permanent solution."

Jruntu looked back at where Rean and Kentucky were, but they had already taken flight. Kentucky flapped his wings, and a huge gale was created, followed by a burst of Spiritual Sense. In a moment, Rean and Kentucky were already far in the distance. Jruntu was even more shocked by that. If he initially thought Rean was ridiculously fast while flying, Kentucky completely broke his mind. "Just where did those two come from...?"

However, he knew that was happened in this place couldn't be mentioned. "All of you, listen up. This day never happened. We went out to hunt for food, and that's all. I believe you understood the repercussions if others find we attempted to trade out blood,m even if we didn't do that in the end."

Herfin and the others quickly agreed. It was still a fact at least Jruntu intended to give his blood away. Finally, their family turned around and flew back to the Salamanders' nest.

Inside the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm, Roan held the bottle of Freezing Star Liquid. "It is quite a surprise to find this item here."

[That reminds me of our time back in the Lost Star Realm.] Sister Orb commented about when the twins acquired this same liquid before entering that Dimensional Realm all those years ago.

Rean commented from outside through their connection. 'This is the kind of item that should only have existed in the Lost Star Realm, no? How come it is here?'

[To be more specific, the Lost Star Realm wasn't the only place in Realm of Gods that could produce this liquid.] Sister Orb corrected Rean. [In the Realm of Gods, you never had the need for it again, so you didn't go look for this liquid after you acquired it the first time. If you did, I'm pretty sure you would have easily put your hands on some back in the Realm of Gods.]

'Well, that's true,' Rean nodded. 'Still, the Lost Star Realm was believed to be a Dimensional Realm that fell from the Heavens back in the Realm of Gods. Could there be some place similar on this planet?'

'Who cares?' Roan wasn't interested. 'Go get my blood so I can refine it. Once we get to the Void Tempering Realm, we are out.'

Rean nodded, putting that matter on the back of his mind.

From there onwards, Rean and Kentucky stopped at various different locations at various different times. Most of the Salamanders came alone, but a few brought some friends or family. The gathering of Dragonkin Blood continued without any issues.

Meanwhile, somewhere countless light-years away, there was a palace that expanded for tens of thousands of kilometers, floating in space. This palace wasn't located in the Underworld, Heaven, or Divine Realm, though. It stood in the middle of nowhere as if those three higher realms were worthy of its presence.

In fact, it wouldn't be wrong to say that the three Higher Realms truly didn't have what it takes to hold this Palace. That's because this is the palace of this Universe's Owner! The woman was called Triaglia, a Regal Camazotz. This was a type of Bat Demon Beast with Divine Bloodline, although Triaglia was above it with her Regal Bloodline, just like Kentucky. She was also a Celestial Realm Initial Stage Expert. Usually, one wouldn't be able to stay inside a Universe once they reach the Celestial Realm. Triaglia was an exception, though. The reason for that was obvious; she was this Universe's owner. Besides, this kind of restriction doesn't apply to all Universes.

Leaving that aside, Triaglia spent most of her time cultivating, hoping to one day reach the God Realm. No one dared to bother her.

It was in her palace, somewhere else where many experts worked, that an order from the Werdlem Empire Main Universe arrived through the Werdlem Network.
