Death... and me

"Hahaha! Braga, it's your loss." Obviously, the Law-breaking Eye succeeded in destroying the runes as the Divine Origin Energy accumulated simply wasn't enough anymore to reconstruct the runes. Surprisingly, the guy who left the chamber did really look like a young boy that was no more than ten years old or so.

Braga knew that there wasn't anything else he could do anymore. "Hmph! So what if you escaped? I might as well tell you this. This Lost Star Realm wasn't built just to keep you imprisoned. It was also made so that the other powers wouldn't find your presence. Now that you came out, it won't be long before the others find out about it. I want to see how you keep yourself safe, especially that heirloom of your race."

After that, he offered one last time. "Wekil, give us that item. As long as you do that, we can use our influence to keep your race out of harm's way."

Suddenly, Wekil made a waving motion with his hand. That simple wave contorted the fabric of space under the now-opened chamber, shattering the formation Braga was using to connect his Divine Sense with this place. And so, Braga's Divine Sense was gone, just like that. "Hmph! It was you fuckers who spread the news in the first place. Those who died to protect the heirloom will probably come out of their graves if they find out I gave it to you."

"Sorry, brother. I know that you might be feeling ecstatic now that you've come out of your imprisonment," Rean could not help but say on the floor above. "However, would you mind giving us some help here?"

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*

Kentucky and the other cultivators were in really bad shape already. Although there wasn't much more Divine Origin Energy remaining, that didn't mean it was completely gone. Before the formation used everything up, Rean's group and the rest of the cultivators would probably die.

Wekil narrowed his eyes in response for a moment. Perhaps it was better to simply let everyone above die except Hurio. However, Braga obviously knew that he escaped, so trying to hide it now would be meaningless. "Sigh... whatever. I do owe you for finding a way to use up the Divine Origin Energy, after all."

There was no Divine Energy involved at all. Wekil simply controlled the laws of space to shatter Rean's Impractical Yin-Yang Clashing Formation... which wasn't that impractical judging the current situation. Not only that, the barrier between the transparent floor between Rean's group and Wekil's group also broke apart, making everyone fall down... except for those who could fly. Well, that didn't matter much as they still couldn't leave this place.

Rean sighed in relief. "Thanks, brother."

Wekil nodded before his eyes turned cold as he looked at the people who tried to stop Rean's formation. Those people immediately tried to flee... but where? There was nowhere to go. They didn't have to think a lot about it, though. That's because their existence was wiped out with a single move from Wekil. In fact, it was so simple for Wekil to kill them that it looked like Wekil didn't do anything at all. Transition Realm? They couldn't even be considered ants in Wekil's eyes.

The only ones who survived were the ones who sided with him. Whether it was out of choice or fear, they did help him, so he let them live. "Now then, I'm a man of my word. Since I said I would take one of you as my disciple, I intend to do so. As for the rest, I promised to give you pointers about your cultivation paths, so you can ask me anything you want right now."

Well, Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis didn't have anything to ask him, though. Celis and Kentucky were demonic creatures. They didn't need to care about cultivation techniques. As for Rean and Roan, they had the Soul Gem System. The system's cultivation technique was already perfect. Any change to it would only make it worse.

Then again, the others were not like the twins' group. They all felt excited and immediately began to throw out their doubts through Divine Sense Messages. For Wekil, answering those many questions at once was extremely simple. Because of that, the question and answer portion didn't last more than a few minutes before everyone ran out of questions to ask.

"Here, all of you can take this." To top it all off, Wekil threw a few jade slips at the cultivators of the top ten powers who helped in his escapade. "Those are a few immortal cultivation techniques from where I came. Back there, they're nothing that impressive since anyone could get them. But here, things are different. It should help you all rise above anyone from this continent and the other continents surrounding this one."

With that, everyone thanked Wekil. They didn't think Wekil would really keep his word. As for those who died, that wasn't their problem anymore.

Wekil simply waved his hand after that. "That's enough. My debt to all of you is paid, so you can leave already." Before the cultivators could say anything, the space laws gathered around them, teleporting them away at the very next instant. They had all been teleported in random locations of the Lanqueas Continent, as they would have if they had taken the portal before.

However, not everyone was gone. Rean's group and Hurio were still there. Hurio, of course, was talking to his sister through Divine Sense Messages, leaving Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis alone with Wekil. "None of you asked anything. Is that really okay?"

Roan nodded in response. "We are fine without those."

Wekil smiled in response. "Well, although we call those cultivation techniques immortal, the fact is that they're just cultivation techniques. The difference is that they're at a level that no one in this place could hope to achieve."

He then looked at Rean after that. "Since I'm now free, I guess I can try to understand a few things. Say... are you part of my race?"
