Death… And Me

Chapter 681 - Time

Roan also warned Rean, saying, 'It doesn't seem like Palaris was lying. However, remember to stay vigilant. You never know what could happen.'

Rean nodded as he made his way back to Sevinia's estate, responding, 'Don't worry. From the very start, we weren't counting on them to help us anyway. Even if they think well about humans or not, that doesn't change the fact that they wouldn't go against the Zasfin Race's culture.'

Roan inwardly nodded as he said in response, 'Exactly. Anyways, Sister Orb will take a long time before she can obtain control over the formations, so let's focus on our cultivation from now on.'

Rean and Roan then left everything for Sister Orb to take care of before starting their routine once again.

And just like that, an entire two years went by in a flash. During these two years, quite a lot has happened. One of them was about Clad, who would be in the excavation sites. Every time the group of Zasfins there were going to be swapped, Rean would use the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to make him disappear. Because there were various groups excavating in different directions, it wasn't hard for Rean to put Clad inside a tunnel different from the previous one.

Thanks to that, Clad was able to break through to the Middle Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm from the Initial Stage of the Core Formation Realm. At first, Clad was afraid of what might happen to him in this place. However, after two years of having his appearance changed by Roan and no one noticing him being swapped, Clad calmed down. Instead, he was excited at just how fast his cultivation rose. Roan's routine had really worked wonders for him.

On Rean's side, he helped improve the state of the Soul Rulers. Of course, they didn't let him touch the Bloodline Trial Control and Soul Stone Formations. At most, he was allowed to see them. Any modification would go through the Soul Rulers themselves. However, they did become interested in the new runes that Sevinia's estate came up with, thanks to Rean's help. That being said, Rean's position there had become quite peculiar thanks to it. He was a human but an important asset at the same time.

Rean didn't care about what others thought. As long as they didn't botter his cultivation, he wouldn't pay attention to it. Rean also asked Roan if he wanted to leave the Bloodline Trial Control Formations. After all, he gathered enough merits that this little request would possibly go through. However, Roan declined the offer.

Roan did not just cultivate during the time he was there. He also made sure to pay attention to all the things happening in the corridor filled with Bloodline Trial Control Formations. Using Rean's Spiritual Sense bending skill, Roan had been looking for a gap in the place's surveillance. After all, he planned to bring all the kids out at once.

As mentioned before, the human kids didn't stay in the formations all the time. After all, they didn't have cultivation, so they needed to eat and sleep. Every now and then, they would come out to be treated and have their Soul Purity checked. It was during one of these moments that Roan met Liza and Luna face to face.

He then used his Spiritual Sense to talk with the two girls, which frightened the duo. They couldn't believe that Rean and Roan were really there. Of course, Liza only knew Rean, not Roan. However, because Liza had seen Rean's memories before, she knew who Roan was.

Both Liza and Luna began to cry as they made their way to him. However, before they could take more than a few steps, Roan hastily stopped them. After all, Liza and Luna weren't supposed to know him. After explaining to the two that it would be a risk to get closer to each other, the two girls nodded and held themselves back.

Roan also used that chance to tell them that he would bring everyone out with him when the preparations were ready. The problem was the treatment the Zasfins gave to the kids. Liza and Luna were just two of the very few kids that understood that this place wasn't the paradise the other kids believed it to be. The majority truly thought they are doing a good thing since the Zasfins always treated them well. That being said, Roan couldn't go around telling the rest that he would bring them away since most of them would denounce his plans.

One of Roan's objectives was to think of a way to deal with it. Then again, he already had a plan, so he was only waiting for Sister Orb to finish analyzing the formations.

Another point that piqued Rean and Roan's interest in this place was the extra tunnel Clad mentioned to always be guarded by many high-level Zasfins. According to Clad, he was allowed to enter it once with a group of other Zasfins to work inside.

There, he noticed something that looked like a giant tree made of white light. Clad was truly shocked when he saw that since it existed underground. From what Clad mentioned, the tree was several kilometers high and long. He was sure that the huge amount of Spiritual Energy all came from that tree. One could imagine how enormous the cave it was located in was. In fact, Clad's job was to help expand that same cave so that the tree could grow even bigger.

Naturally, it didn't take long for Rean and Roan to understand that the tree was responsible for the lack of Spiritual Energy on the planet. As for how many of those trees existed around the world, they had no clue. It would depend on how many empires, celestial lands, and other equivalent powers existed around the world. Nevertheless, the tree owned by the Soul Rulers was bound to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, out of all of them.

The only doubt now was whether there was anything they could do with it. They would only find that answer once they teleported inside to check. Fortunately, after coming in and out of the tunnels so many times, Clad was able to pinpoint the exact location of the tunnel that led to the tree. After that, they only needed to use the Soul Gem Teleport Circuitry and keep teleporting in the right direction until they hit the mark. It was basically the same plan they used back to enter that Rank Five Bloodline Trial.

Of course, their discoveries didn't stop there. After two mundane years, Rean had finally heard of the Rank Ten Bloodline Trial!
