Death… And Me

Chapter 1924 I Won't Discard That Possibility

"Master!" The two quickly came to see Roan.

Of course, Roan had a lot more to talk about with Zuo than Luan at this moment. "Luan, you can stay. However, I won't be telling you anything. If you want, you can leave."

Luan quickly shook his head. "Senior Disciple Zuo and I fought a few times during training, so I might be able to offer some words for master."

Roan didn't mind. "Very well. Due to some events, I wasn't paying attention to you two, so I'll be asking you more than usual."

Zuo and Luan looked at each other for a moment. They obviously knew what Roan had done during the past few days. Of course, they wouldn't say that out loud. "No problem, Master."

Well, considering it was Roan, he probably wouldn't care less to talk about what he did or not. For him, that was just a natural thing. There wasn't a need to be embarrassed about that, nor would he be. A problem would only appear if people didn't do that instead.

"Very well," Roan continued. "Zuo, take this." He then passed Zuo a new cultivation manual.

"Master, this..." Zuo immediately noticed that it was another cultivation manual for his Magnetism Affinity. He read through it as Roan and Luan waited before finally talking. "Master, it's so different... have you never stopped working on my cultivation technique?"

Roan shook his head, telling him, "I only added some improvements as my own cultivation grew. I didn't spend too long on it. However, it did become very different than yours. Divine Energy is just this much different from Spiritual Energy."

Roan extended his hand after that. "Let me see your old Magnetism Affinity manual. After all these decades, you couldn't possibly have kept it exactly how it was, right? I'd be extremely disappointed if you didn't try to improve it alone just because I wasn't around."

Zuo quickly nodded. "Definitely!" He accessed his spatial ring and brought out a jade slip, which he passed to Roan. "Take a look, master. It's also very different from the cultivation manual I had when I arrived here. There are several points I would rather keep in place of the alterations you did."

Roan read through it with his Divine Sense and couldn't help but faintly smile. "Not bad. Several parts of it have been refined better than the new version I gave you just now. In the end, being the one who has the affinity makes it a lot easier to improve."

Roan returned the jade slip to Zuo and looked at Luan. "You better not relax, or your senior disciple will surpass you. Your cultivation technique is a lot more advanced since I even had immortal cultivation techniques as a reference. Not to mention that I had you by my side, so we worked on it together. From now on, he will also receive the same treatment. I will carry absolutely no bias to any of you two."

"It wouldn't be fun if you didn't," Luan quickly answered. "Now, master, can we start to work on my senior disciple's cultivation technique? I'm sure that we can improve it a lot more now that he's here."

Meanwhile, Rean and Qia went to the Formation Hall, where all the demon beasts and the other Formation Masters were learning. "So... the reason you got the demon beasts' help was that it would make it easier to find us. Are you sure it was okay to pass the knowledge on Circuitry Formations to them? During all these years, I worked on my own versions, but I've never shown them to anyone other than Calina and Zuo. Even Red agreed to keep quiet about them."

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. "Nothing I can do there. The humanoid races have your cousin, so they'll learn about the Circuitry Formations even if I don't teach the demon beasts. It'll be better if we keep the balance. Above all, it'll be great to keep the devils in check."

"My cousin?!" Qia was taken aback. She still didn't know that Rean had found Havek in the Realm of Gods. "But that idiot died in Sunkan Planet..."

Rean smiled in response before using his Divine Sense to explain everything to Qia.

Naturally, Qia was shocked to hear the entire story. "The living beings from Sunkan are all reincarnating to the Realm of Gods?! And you even found Havek?!"

"Not all of them," Rean answered. "So far, we've only found a few. Some of them aren't even present at the moment. For example, I still don't know where my father, mother, and sister are. Well, I don't know where most people we knew of are, either. Chances are that they never reincarnated. If they did, it might not have been in the Realm of Gods. Last but not least, they might have reincarnated but already died again." Rean and Roan had already agreed with Kentucky and Celis that no one else would know about their father and sister. After all, it was better that way. You can't spill the beans if you don't know anything.

"But... why did Havek end up with the humans?" Qia couldn't help but ask.

Rean sighed after hearing that. "Two reasons. First, he wanted to have one of the big powers on his back at all times. That way, he could ask for all the materials he wanted to develop more Circuitry Formations."

Qia put a hand on her head after hearing that. "That sounds very much like him..."

"The second reason," Rean continued. "...was to help me get the demon beasts' help. He went to the humanoids while I stayed with the demon beasts. That way, both sides would keep each other in check and not try to get on our bad side if they could help it."

Qia looked at Rean with an expression of disbelief. "Wait! That Havek? He did it for Calina and me?" Qia then shook her head after that. "Sorry, but I believe only the first reason is true."

Rean shrugged his shoulders, laughing. "I won't discard that possibility. Hahaha!"
