Death... and me

Chapter 2578  Back to the Essence Race

Flinyu returned a few hours later, joining the group in the wait for the Totem to absorb the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm's Aura. Other than a few general conversations, nothing of importance was talked about. Of course, Rean asked Flinyu if he had done his part.

"Yes, it is done. The orders have already been passed through the communication system you invented," Flinyu explained. "Just to be sure, I also went to the Demon Beasts, Spirits, and Humanoid Races experts to pass Master Gragatou's message. They all accepted. There were a few who had their doubts, and I have no doubt they will consult their own Semi-Celestials. But with my Master's guarantee, everything should be fine."

'You heard that, Roan?' Rean asked into the Dimensional Realm. 'We can even go and pay a visit to Qia and Calina right after we finish our job here.'

However, Roan immediately discarded the idea. 'No. We are following the plan and visiting Huban's home. I want to get over with the fragment in his hand.'

Rean shrugged his shoulders. 'I doubt anyone could steal it from him, but okay.'

The day passed, and the cultivator inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm finally opened his eyes. He noticed a change happening in the Totem, making him nod with satisfaction. He then took a deep breath and shouted with the help of his DIvine Energy. "It is over. Send me back outside!" Immediately, his vision blurred.

*Zush!*

The next thing he saw, he was already back in the office where Rean, Gragatou, and Flinyu were waiting. He sighed in relief and quickly passed the straw totem to Gragatou. "Master, here's the totem. It has absorbed all it could of the Dimensional Realm's Aura."

Rean left the city where the army was stationed, taking some distance from it. Finally, he opened his own Spatial Gate and left. The Essence Race home wasn't far, after all. Later that day, Rean was already standing in front of the giant gate of the Essence Race home.

*Brumm...*

He didn't need to do anything. The moment Rean approached, the gate began to open on its own. Looking on the other side, Rean quickly identified Joju, one of Huban's disciples and a Peak Divinity Realm expert. "Hi, senior Joju. Long time no see."

Joju ignored Rean and used his Divine Sense to search the surroundings. After confirming nothing was wrong, he called Rean inside. "Come in. I'll bring you to Master."

Rean bitterly smiled as he followed. It was obvious that Joju still didn't like other races very much. He couldn't be blamed since the Essence Race was almost wiped out in the past due to that prejudice. Finally, Rean arrived in Huban's chamber, who was a little surprised by Rean's presence. "You came back way faster than I thought. Could it be you need something else? Oh! You have already got to the Space-Time Realm. Not bad, not bad."

Rean smiled in response. "Thank you, senior. But no, and didn't come to ask for anything. It's just that I'm fairly confident I can try to refine that Universe Foundation Fragment, so I came to give it a try."

"Really?!" Huban was taken aback. "That thing is no joke. Are you certain?"

"Yes!" Rean nodded. "At the very least, I will be able to gather some information should the process fail."

Huban had promised to let him try, so he didn't try to stop Rean. "Very well, follow me."
