Re:Immortal - Chapter 159

After leaving the two outsiders in her care, Dina was then offered a generous plot of land next to the palace where she settled her pagoda for the time being. No one was to disturb her as she conducted her ‘researches’.

Meanwhile, Omis alongside with the others now had even bigger problems to worry about, with the looming threat of the outside world hanging like a scythe on their necks, a solution was urgently needed.

Silas who was considered the master of formations amongst the Immortals ended up being sent with Niola a short female ‘Hive’ member, she mostly looked like a ten-year-old child with red hair and deep scarlet eyes, two large pair of black horns extended upwards from her forehead.

Niola was the number one formation master of the ‘Hive’ camp. And so it was decided that the both of them would be sent to try and strengthen the formation that protected the heavenly realm alongside that of the mortal plane.

A few Golden Immortals from both camps were sent to act as their escorts and guards in case anything went warry. Krano and Tizzy on the other hand were still considered the leaders of both sides so it wasn’t very appropriate for them to make any moves personally.

The group of leaders continued with their meeting as they assigned various missions to each member, it took a while but eventually, they came to a mutual agreement.

Beri and Lacess would act as a patrol in the perimeter of the realms, while Omis and Addi would try something bigger, sneak out into enemy territory and try to gather more information from within all the while keeping a low profile.

Just hearing about a mission where he had to act low-key and hide his identity while roaming the outside universe was enough to get Omis’s blood pumping as he almost immediately volunteered and ended up dragging Addi along with him.

According to the cultivators of the Primal Star sect, the ‘Divine’ currently had their hands tied trying to keep their attackers at bay especially since they had just fought a massive war in which they suffered heavy casualties.

Taking that into consideration alongside the fact that Omis and the rest had also managed to push them out of the realm and thwart their invasion, it was safe to say that they bought a short period of peace to the real, for now, that is.

No one could tell for how long this period would be, yet this also served as their chance to take a more offensive stance against their aggressors.

Omis considered taking Lu Lu with him, yet the danger of this mission was a bit too high, hence he decided against it. Another point of concern he had and which he ended up bringing up to Tizzy in private, was the fact that two of the ‘Immortals’ God realm leaders will leave in this mission.

This gave an obvious advantage to the ‘Hive’ and was a matter that troubled him. To this, Tizzy ended up proposing an interesting suggestion, a Dao promise.

This was no ordinary promise, a promise to the Dao was absolute, should a cultivator break it, they alongside their cultivation base would end up reverting back to the Dao essentially killing them in both body and soul.

This is exactly why a Dao promise was seldom made. Even back in the game, who would want to risk their avatar and progress because of a single promise.

Some sects before however used the promise as a criterion to join, this ensured the loyalty of their members and prevented possible betrayals. But even so, the number of sects that used such a method back in the game was low.

Omis who was sitting down around a table inside one of the rooms of the divine palace on the floor provided to them by Krano, and was discussing the matter with Tizzy and Addi.

Lu Lu and Leyla were seated on a couch as they lightly giggled, holding a conversation of their own. The two ladies instantly grew close to one another even before the battle and only seemed to grow closer.

“You think they’ll approve?” Asked Omis with a frown.

“We have no choice. They have no choice, we need them as much as they need us. The best option for both of our sides is a Dao promise.” Replied Tizzy.

“What do you think Addi?” Omis asked as he turned towards Addi who was stroking his beard in silence this whole time.

“I still don’t understand why the hell did you volunteer for this and dragged me with you.” He replied with a sigh.

“Oh c’mon, when was the last time you loosened up and went on an adventure? This is our chance, plus it’s entirely different realms we are talking about! A whole damn universe waiting for us, now tell me you are not excited about that.” Replied Omis, to which Addi simply let out a long sigh and shook his head.

“Alright then, it’s settled, we’ll bring up the Dao promise before we leave.” Added Omis as he turned to look at Tizzy who nodded with a serious expression on his face.

*****

Soon, Omis alongside Addi and Tizzy called for a special meeting with Krano. Beri and Lacess had already left for their patrol so they were not present.

The group met in a spacious meeting room that was situated at the very top of the palace. One could easily oversee the entire capital from this point.

“I hear you have something you’d like to discuss with me?” Asked Krano as he ushered the trio to take a seat in front of him.

Rolus gracefully served tea for everyone present before retreating to stand behind his master. Tizzy was the one to speak first.

“There is no point in beating around the bush, master Krano, we would like for a Dao promise to ensure the safety of our people while Omis and Addi are gone.” He said without breaking eye contact.

Krano’s eyes widened for a second before Rolus the butler jumped out, his usual graceful and respectful demeanor nowhere to be found.

“Presumptuous!” He yelled, as his aura rushed out towards Tizzy.

Addi was the one to step out as he allowed his own aura to surge blocking the butler’s, a wide grin was on his face as he spoke. “Don’t think that things will go the same way as last time ugly bastard.”

“Rolus!” Krano suddenly waved his hand causing the butler to take a step back with a bow as he retracted his aura. Addi did the same albeit reluctantly. A disappointed expression was on his face as he shrugged his shoulders.

“You do realize a Dao promise is not something to be taken lightly, right?” Asked Rolus with a frown.

“That is precisely why we are asking this master Krano.” Omis was the one to reply this time causing the mood to turn heavy as both sides silently sized one another.
