Death... and me

Deciding that there was no point mulling over it, Rean focused his mind on the next task. 'Well then, since they found an excuse for us on their own, that's not our problem. Just two more days until the deadline we gave Jakar is over. Do you think he'll bring the Iridescent Tears?'

Roan obviously had no way of knowing that. 'How would I know? He seemed confident, at least. I just hope your idea of moving the Golden Feather works instead.'

On the next day, one day before the deadline, Jakar was allowed to come to the trading center at the entrance of the mountain range. Naturally, just like Rean, he still had his guardian and the other experts watch him with their Divine Senses. 'You reached the Void Tempering Realm?'

Rean smiled as he nodded. 'That I did. It will also help in transplanting your Golden Feather to the other Winged Provis.' With that, Rean looked at Jakar's side. Other than his guardian, Clovale, there was another Winged Provis there. "So, who is this fella? He looks a lot like you." Well, all Winged Provis were pretty similar to each other, but Rean didn't mention that.

"He's what you humans would call my cousin. He's still in the Elemental Transformation Realm, though," Jakar introduced the guy. "His name is Kitan." At the same time, Jakar used his Divine Sense to talk. 'I discussed the issue with him. Don't worry, you can trust him. What do you think? Will it be possible?'

Rean nodded in response. 'It's possible. However, I wasn't kidding when I told you the risks. You could indeed die in the process, or maybe he could.'

'I know,' Jakar answered. 'He's also aware of it.'

Kitan smiled at Rean after that. "Tian, right? Jakar told me that you two did a lot of crazy things while you were in the Drugo Organization. I came here just to see if all of that was true."

Rean laughed after hearing that. "Indeed, we did do quite a few things. It's quite unfortunate that I followed him to the spirit races' territory. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here right now." Rean then took the opportunity to offer. "Alright, why don't you come and take a look in my Pocket Dimensional Realm? Some of the items we acquired are there. Jakar, I still have your totem, you know?"

"What?!" Jakar pretended to be shocked. Fortunately, he had spent quite a lot of years pretending to be someone else, so he was very, very convincing. "Why did you keep that shit?! Don't you dare show that! Throw it away!"

"And why should I do that?" Rean asked back with a smile. "That was such a great creation, a very funny one if I have to say something about it."

Rean insisted once again. "How about it, Kitan?"

Kitan was definitely curious about it. "Who wouldn't be interested after Jakar reacted like that? I absolutely want to see it. No, better than that, let me buy it!"

Jakar looked furious after that. "Fuck you two! I'll come as well!"

"No can do," Clovale immediately cut them off. "Jakar is not to leave my sight by any means."

Rean shrugged his shoulders after hearing that. "What do you think we'll do? Run away from within the Dimensional Realm? Be more realistic."

Rean then touched Kitan, who immediately disappeared from the place. Clovale was just about to stop Jakar from doing the same thing when suddenly, he received a Divine Sense message from Fran himself. 'It's fine. We already checked his Pocket Dimensional Realm. Just watch his Dimensional Realm's entrance and let me know if anything happens. I'll send someone with the right cultivation with them to keep watch from inside. I'm watching them from inside the fabric of space, so if they try anything like what Jakar did in the past, I can catch them there.' For him, that was part of Rean's plan to convince Jakar.

Only then did Clovale stop. 'Yes, Elder Fran.'

A moment later, Rean saw someone he had already met before appearing. "Hey, aren't you that Winged Provis called Jansa? Senior Fran's daughter?"

Jansa nodded in response. "Father said that you can bring Jakar into your Pocket Dimensional Realm, but I have to be there as well."

Rean shrugged his shoulders, saying, "I don't really mind. Having more people look at the totem will be really fun."

"You've got to be kidding me." Naturally, Jakar continued his show.

Rean just smiled back. "I'm dead serious. Hahaha!" Before anyone could say anything, Rean also pulled Jansa inside the Dimensional Realm.

After that, he did the same thing with Jakar before entering the Dimensional Realm himself.

Jansa looked around and saw herself in the same place as before. On her side, she also saw Kitan, Rean, and Jakar. "I'm here just to watch you, so do whatever you want."

"You're no fun," Rean couldn't help but mention. "Let's go, guys."

Little did Jansa know, but she wasn't really talking to Rean at that moment. Light bending and body swapping! It was an easy task for Roan, even though he wasn't Rean, to trick Jansa with her cultivation. The one Jansa saw at the moment was him, who, as Rean's twin, obviously had the same voice. It's just that his response didn't seem natural. Not that Jansa really cared. As for Jakar and Kitan, they were simple fakes made with Rean's Light bending skill. Last but not least, there was Sister Orb. She used the Dimensional Realm to help Roan with that trick.

Roan and the two fakes then went to one of the buildings as Roan talked to Rean through their Soul Connection. 'I don't know how long she'll be fooled by it, so you better act quickly.'

Rean was obviously somewhere else. It was an empty region, much bigger and with quite some plant life around. It was part of the Demon Beast Forest that Celis created. It's just that this part hasn't been filled with demon beasts yet. 'That's fine. The process is simple as long as the two parts don't try to resist. I just don't know if it's safe, but we'll find out soon.'

Rean then looked at Jakar and Kitan, who seemed impressed by the size of Rean's Dimensional Realm. Yet, they knew it wasn't time for that. "Alright, let's get over with it."

Kitan and Jakar nodded in response. "We know the risks."
