Death... and me - Chapter 2914: Disciple? Perhaps Not

Rean continued with his pretense during that day, listening to Kuslau’s teachings and what not. Kuslau investigated Rean before offering that invitation and found out Rean used a Low- Level Energy Breakthrough Pill to go straight to the Energy Gathering Realm. However, when he used his Spiritual Sense to check Rean’s body, he only found a few flaws.

“Oh! You were quite lucky. That pill you used to get to the Energy Gathering Realm didn’t leave behind too many inconsistencies. If you work diligently, you can eliminate these flaws in a few months,” Kuslau spoke with a smile.

Rean smiled and didn’t say anything. He was going to ‘use’ the Foundation Establishment Pills today. If he told Kuslau, the guy would definitely stop him. Well, Rean and Roan were almost in the Core Formation Realm already, actually. “I will work hard, master.”

“Good,” Kuslau then threw a Spaital Ring to Rean. “Since I took you as my disciple, I can’t leave you without a gift. Inside, you will find a sword and a hundred Rank Two Spirit Stones. I will also give you access to the cultivation techniques repository. Go there later and find one that suits you. From now on, come to me once a week so that I can check your progress.”

Rean took the chance to ask. “Master, the arena is giving me quite some Spiritual Stones. Still, I wish to go out to do the Gondel Clan’s missions, like the ones to kill and collect Demon Beasts’ Materials. Do you think it is a good idea?”

Kuslau immediately nodded. “Even if you hadn’t mentioned, I would force you to go out. There is only so much you can learn in the arena since killing or causing any permanent damage is prohibited. Go to the missions hall and take a few missions. With your strength, any mission for Energy Gathering Realm members shouldn’t be too hard. However, remember that demon beasts don’t care about your status or anything like that. Keep your guard high all the time, and it is not only Demon Beasts that could cause you trouble. Keep that in mind.” Rean faintly smiled and asked what he really wanted to know. “Alright, master. By the way, I lived in Sansome Village my entire life, so I don’t know anything about the outside world. I was checking my CD, and I often see things like continents, planets, and even Universe. Master, what are these things?”

Kuslau wasn’t surprised by Rean’s question. Those who came from humble backgrounds often knew nothing about the world. “Laica, attend me.”

“Yes, Master.” Suddenly, a woman appeared in the room and kneeled in front of Kuslau. Kuslau nodded and looked back at Rean. “Teach him about our world, the Werdlem Empire, and those things. I have other things to do.”

“As you wish, Master.” Laica accepted the order without any complaints.

Sometime later, Rean and Laica entered a room with several terminals in Kuslau’s residence. She brought Rean to one of those terminals and then began to explain more about the place they lived.

First, Rean found out Hex brought them to a country called Rusbav. Travil Region was only one of the twelve regions in this country, located on the southeast side. The Gondel Clan was under the rule of the Rusbav Royal Family. So far, it was pretty similar to the system Rean and Roan experienced back in the Sunkan Planet.

Laica continued to answer Rean’s questions from there. The planet they were located was called Cenpol. It was only one of five inhabited planets in their solar system. From the looks of it, Hex brought them to quite a resourceful planet. Compared to the other four, Cenpol was definitely much more developed due to its much better atmosphere. The other four planets had harsh environments and were only inhabited because the cultivators forced their way there.

What surprised Rean was that this small Gondel Clan in a Mortal Realm also had a lot of information regarding the Universe itself. The Solar System they lived in was in the hands of a Werdlem Representative called Joanbe. She didn’t know the guy’s cultivation, but Rean was pretty sure he wasn’t less than a Void Tempering Realm. As for their Solar System’s name, it didn’t have one, just an ID: S5901T9991K. That reminded Rean of Lingan and Garisan, who used such ID codes in their equipment.

Laica went further away, showing that they also lived in a Galaxy that had its own code instead of a name: G123964P12D. There was even information regarding who was responsible for that as well. It was a Demon Beast from the Midori Lynx Race called Vlaexin. She even named a few of the nearby galaxies, although the terminals there didn’t have much information about them.

However, one piece of information seemed to be the most important, so much so that it had an entire section of the terminal storage used to store it. It was the information regarding the Werdlem Empire itself. Never did Rean expect to find so much about this empire on a mortal planet in the mortal realm.

The Werdlem Empire, according to the information in the terminal, was indeed a hegemon, just like Soul Gem and Leandro mentioned in the past. Leandro and Soul Gem told the twins that all they knew was that the Werdlem Empire had disappeared one day, and no one knew what had happened. Yet, in the terminals, it was said that the Werdlem Empire had over a thousand Universes under the Werdlem Imperial Family’s rule.

That raised the question, how did this empire disappear together with over a thousand Universes? Such information wasn’t available. However, there was a remark in the history of the Werdlem Empire depicted in the terminal. It was said that to prevent further conflicts, the Werdlem Emperor created a paradise for the entire Werdlem Empire to exist within. It was said that they exist inside this same self-called paradise.

It seemed Rean and Roan were in one of such Universes and quite a remote one. With the exception of the Universe where the Werdlem Imperial Family lived, all the other Universes didn’t have names either. They, too, had ID codes. It’s just that those codes were a lot simpler. For example, Rean and Roan’s actual Universe was Universe number F974. That was it.

Rean and Roan commented through their connection. ‘So much information… This Werdlem is a monster indeed.’

Roan nodded. ‘That F in front of the number of our Universe. That is most likely related to the ranking of Universes in the Werdlem Empire. In the information of the terminal, there are plenty of A, B, C, D, E, and F.’

Rean agreed with him. ‘In any case, now we have an idea of where we are. The only doubt is how we can leave this place and return to Lisan.’

Roan pondered a bit and decided to ignore that for now. ‘Forget it. We are still too weak to think about leaving the Universe. Since you are there, see if you can find these items.’ Roan then passed a list with several herbs and other materials to Rean. He even passed their appearance through their memory sharing.

‘Are these…’ Rean could guess.

‘Yes,’ and Roan confirmed. ‘These are the items I need for the Void Shattering Pill.’
