“But… things never go as planned.” Rosalyn started the next half of the story.

“I don’t know, maybe something was wrong with the map or for some other reason you completely vanished from our world.”

“We thought you successfully reincarnated.”

Rosa’s expression became extremely solemn at this point.

“But no one could feel the connection of {Soul Contract} with you.”

“We searched for you for months but to no avail. We couldn’t find you anywhere.”

Her expression along with the maid beside her became darker.

“Wait a minute you said months?? How much time has passed since you all activated that Formation?”

It was at this point Kylo realized something and asked his doubt.

After all he thought he was reincarnated the moment the formation was activated.

But based on what Rosalyn said that was not the case.

And indeed Rosalyn confirmed Kylo’s guess.

“It’s been around 7-8 years…”

Kylo frowned upon hearing this.

This could mean either there is a time difference between his old and this new world.

Or his reincarnation was truly delayed.

But based on power levels of both the worlds, Kylo knew his old and new world shouldn’t have much of a difference.

That means both the planets have similar distance from the cluster of the energy that is located in the middle of the universe.

That means…

[My reincarnation was delayed… Maybe the seer’s doing… But why?… Let’s not be hasty with the conclusion.]

Kylo shook his head internally knowing these were just useless for now.

Rosalyn continued after seeing Kylo’s expression clearing a bit.

“Anyways, the news about your ‘death’ was somehow leaked. That did nothing but increas the instability of the empire.”

“And it was not just that. You should know your presence was the thing that kept all the powers at bay.”

“And it was also your presence that kept the empire united.”

Kylo nodded in agreement. After all no one knew it better than him how many powerful forces and individuals were residing in his empire just because of him.

Even though he was in coma, his presence alone was enough to continue the stalemate for 15 years!

That should show how powerful he was! That was his charm and charisma!

But his disappearance started the mayhem.

Rosalyn sighed sadly remembering the past.

“The first one to cause the mayhem was the external forces but the internal ones.”

“Many powers wanting the share of the empire started rebelling.”

“Even though we continued to quell the rebel but the abnormality was noticed by our enemies.”

“After somehow confirming your disappearance, all our enemies formed a truce and started hunting down everyone related to you.”

“They even formed into a single organisation called Union.”

Kylo’s eyes gradually turned cold after hearing more and more information.

“Do you know… if any insider… betrayed us?”

By insider he meant the inner circle, people like Nicholas, Bai Yishan and similarly many more who could be trusted.

After all he previously came to the conclusion no one betrayed after confirming the presence of the seer.

But now seeing there is a possibility of betrayal, he couldn’t help but be nervous a little.

It was Anastasia this time who shook her head and replied

“Don’t worry, no one whom you could fully trust betrayed you.”

Kylo let out a sigh of relief. But this reply from her also meant many people who weren’t in inner circle betrayed him.

Kylo shook his head and didn’t continue to think about them.

After all they viewed him as tool to gain power and similarly they were just tools to him as well.

He thought of another thing as his eyes hardened and asked

“Did anyone… die?”

Rosalyn, after pausing for a second, nodded her head. Kylo gripped his hand tightly.

He knew Rosalyn would understand he will only talk about people who were really close to him and not some ‘outsiders’.

Rosalyn didn’t keep him in suspense for long and replied

“When you were at war, millions died. But after your disappearance billions died.”

She looked into his eyes and continued “Many people switched sides and hunted us.”

“The situation grew worse for us. And more favourable for the Union.”

Rosalyn stopped for a moment to let Kylo digest the information. But Anastasia interrupted it once again

“In fact we would have already died if not for the Bai Clan.”

Kylo’s eyes widened and his heart started thumping nervously when he heard about the Bai Clan.

Bai Clan was very special to him.

They were the ones who saved from the ‘Hell’ in his childhood.

They were the ones whom he grew up with in his youth.

They were the ones who gave him the resources required for cultivation.

They were the one who taught him everything required to travel around the world.

He couldn’t help but gulp nervously and ask

“Then… what about… Bai Clan?”

Anastasia’s eyes couldn’t become gloomier. Rosalyn at the side sighed lightly when Anastasia replied

“Almost… the entire Bai Clan was annihilated.”

“They fought and retaliated till the end. Now… except for few members no one is alive.”

Kylo closed his eyes. His heart seemed to have stop for a moment.

The temperature of the surroundings dropped drastically.

Something seemed to have snap inside him. When he opened his eyes there was no warmth in it.

His eyes were so cold it seemed as if even a volcano would freeze from just a look.

The killing intent emitting from his body made not just Rosalyn and Anastasia but even those waiting outside also shudder.

Avery and the others couldn’t help but take a look at the door and imagine just what the hell was going on.

Even the calm Elena and Nigel couldn’t help but tremble after experiencing the killing intent.

And this was not even directed at them.

Heck even the unconcious lady laying beside Anastasia seemed to tremble upon feeling the killing intent.

She was unconcious for god’s sake!

This was the full release of his killing intent! Not once after arriving in this world did he release his full killing intent.

But now he couldn’t control it this time. After hearing the Bai Clan’s annihilation he couldn’t keep the killing intent under his control.

This was the killing intent who killed not hundreds of thousands or millions, but billions!

Yes billions!!!

The killing intent slowly spread through the surrounding area outside the manor.

Even the people staying nearby could feel a chill!

That’s how scary his killing intent is!!

He didn’t open his mouth but the look in his eyes said everything.

The two ladies in front of him couldn’t help but gulp seeing Kylo like this.

It was at this time both Anastasia and Rosalyn knew, the moment Kylo returned will be the time the world will fall into true chaos!
