Death… And Me

Chapter 2220 You Know Why

Yet, before that, Rean couldn't help but take another good look at Roan. "Say... how come you look so beaten?"

Indeed, Roan looked quite poor at the moment, with his clothes ragged everywhere. Rean thought at first it was due to some training, but Roan usually never ends like that during such practices.

"Life and Death combat," Roan answered.

Rean wasn't paying attention to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, so he didn't see what Roan was talking about. "Life and Death?" he pondered a bit and could only think about one person. "Only Pulanli have a cultivation capable of giving you any trouble in the Dimensional Realm. Could it be she decided to rebel after all these years?"

Roan shook his head. "I asked her to fight me. Obviously, it had to be a real fight, so I went all out, which forced her to go all out as well."

Rean quickly sent his consciousness into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to take a look at Pulanli. She seemed to be quite angry, but she didn't look as bad as Roan. "So... simply put, you got the worst of the exchange."

Roan didn't deny that. "Indeed. She is almost an entire realm above, so even going all out still puts me at a disadvantage. Perhaps only by burning my Nascent Soul would I match or defeat her. Nonetheless, it was a very good experience."

Rean shrugged his shoulder in response. "Well... if you are saying..."

Right after, he finally used his communication badge to call Qia. If she was still using the same identification number inside the system, she sure would pick up the call.

Back in the Dragon Race Territory, Qia and Calina were talking inside the sect. The Soul Flames from Rean and Roan had suddenly sparked up to life a few hours ago, showing that they were now very close to their location. "Why are they taking so long to arrive?!" Qia couldn't help but complain.

Calina shook her head. "Do you want them to simply come to the Dragon Race and say hello? The experts Placake left behind would definitely capture them and never let them go anywhere ever again."

"Sigh..." Qia knew Calina was right. "Still, we have been waiting for so long..."

It was then that Qia's Communication Badge was activated. She wasn't much surprised, though. As the one in command of the communication system, the formations masters would send her messages all the time. It would be a miracle if she got to spend an entire hour without a single call. The only moments of silence she had were during the times she herself set to be left alone, but it wasn't the case at the moment. "What? I told you guys that the crafting process will have those kinds of issues with the new badge. There is no need to tell me about every change."

On the other side, Rean smiled while saying, "Is that so? Sorry for bothering you, then. I'm not gonna call anymore."

"WAIT!" How could she not recognize the person who sent the message? She quickly looked at the ID number from the call, and sure enough, that was Rean's number. "Rean!"

"What?!" Calina's interest was immediately picked. "He is calling?! Where is Roan?!"

Rean laughed in response. "Hahaha! That's me, indeed. Fortunately, Roan and I made our way back to the Realm of Gods. It's just that we got teleported to the middle of nowhere, so it took some time to make our way back to the Center of the Realm of Gods."

Qia's eyes got watery as she spoke. "Why did you take so long? Do you know how worried I was during all this time?"

Calina was feeling quite jealous since she couldn't hear what they were saying since the badges used Divine Sense. "I want to talk too! Tell Roan to call me!"

Qia wiped her tears and nodded. "Rean, can you ask Roan to call Calina?"

Rean asked something else in response. "I'm the only one calling because I don't know if some kind of tracking method was added to the system. Do you know if this call is secure? Otherwise, I will have to hang up."

"Oh, wait!" Qia obviously knew that such a thing did really exist. Her group and Havek's group worked on that so they could show the commanders of the war efforts the real-time positioning of every member with a communication badge.

However, Havek and Qia obviously worked on a way to block such searches if necessary, especially in their own cases. She quickly used her administrator rights, which were the highest in the system other than Havek's, to remove Rean's badge number. Of course, she knew Roan's number, too, so she did the same to him. "Alright, it is done now. The other formations masters in the Dragon Race will not be able to locate you through your devices."

Rean nodded as he looked at Roan, "You can call Calina now."

A moment later, Calina's badge also activated, obviously with Roan's messages behind it.

They then talked for quite a while, although the twins still preferred not to say anything that other parties shouldn't hear. As much as Qia believes that her admin rights were perfect, it was better not to risk it. "And that was how we ended in the Realm of Gods, although we were truly sent to the middle of nowhere."

Qia was really shocked by everything. She wanted to ask about the Fragments of the Universe Foundation, but she obviously understood Rean didn't want such a name to be said through the communication system, so she and Calina refrained from mentioning them. "I can't believe you went to the Heavens and Underworld. You even left the Three Higher Realms at some point. Just how can you attract so much trouble like this?"

Rean obviously knew why. It was called the 'Soul Gem System.' This thing had the ability to actively mess Destiny around the twins, and they had to be living with it up to this point. "You know why, so I won't mention it to not dump my own mood."

Qia sighed in response. "Yes, I do..."
