Death... and me

Ten thousand kilometers might look like a lot, but in the context of the Realm of Gods, that couldn't even be considered a spec of sand on the beaches of the whole world. Rean thought it would be a lot easier to simply go there through the teleport formations and look for this flower on his own...

Roan, however, was against the idea. 'If you keep traveling around, how will you master the new equipment in your Blacksmith Workshop? The sooner we can get Huban's fragment, the better.'

'Is that so?' Rean wondered. 'Then all I can do is leave a message on the Online Market for others to look for it for you. Unless, of course, you decide to go there yourself.'

Roan also rejected that idea. 'I decided to get the specialists in medicinal applications you brought from Earth and teach them alchemy. That should give me a higher chance of concocting the pills for us after entering the Space-Time Realm. Just post the request on the Online Market. If there is no answer by the time we finish getting used to the new equipment, we can consider going there ourselves.'

'Very well,' Rean nodded and immediately accessed the Online Market with his communication badge. He changed his previous request. Now, he was looking for Aberrant Devil Flowers, the ones that have absorbed more than ten thousand kilometers of plant life.

That wasn't all. Rean also knew the other two Wood Law Materials Flinyu mentioned. Since it was simply an Online Market Request, he might as well put both items there. Who knows? Perhaps someone did have the items Roan needed for Celis's pills.

Soon, the requests for the Aberrant Devil Flowers, Nihihihihihihi Mountain Grass, and Lahamina Earth Tree Core appeared on the Online Market. All of them had specific criteria that had to be fulfilled before being presented. That way, Rean prevented experts with useless items from coming to him.

Rean then went around the market in the city and the Online Market as well. Both Rean and Roan had many materials they wanted for their next training, so they accumulated everything first. Around a week later, Rean finally went to the Teleport Formations of the city, leaving after paying the fee.

Back in the territory of the humanoid races, there was a city called Dlanfis. It was located on the Umotis Continent, which was quite far away from the Center of the Realm of Gods and the war. 

Suddenly, one of the Long-Distance Teleport Formations in the city activated, flashing with silver light for a moment. When the light disappeared, a middle-aged man with a tired look stepped out. He was received by the workers there, who noticed his cultivation was quite high. However, he simply pushed them aside and left the city. He didn't want to deal with anyone at that moment.

He traveled a few thousand kilometers at high speeds until finally, he stopped. After checking the surroundings with his Divine Sense, he opened a Spatial Gate and left once again. It wouldn't be before he got close to the Continental Barrier that he finally stopped. Of course, there were no more continental barriers since it had been deactivated.

The middle-aged man's appearance then changed. Sure enough, that was none other than Rean, who simply didn't want to be followed. He selected this specific location because it was at the very edge of where his communication badge worked. That way, he would have privacy for the next years while he and Roan worked and cultivated. At the same time, he would know if someone decides to take his offer in the Online Market.

Rean then selected a piece of open land where no one lived and began to work on a concealing formation. It was decided that both Rean and Roan would work on their Blacksmith and Alchemy Workshops outside while Celis and Kentucky cultivated inside at an accelerated time.

Rean worked on that concealing formation for an entire day, making sure it had a high enough level to not be detected by anyone below the Space-Bending Realm. Since he was quite far from the Center of the Realm of Gods, experts at that level were rare, so it should be safe enough.

Suddenly, the Divine Energy of the Environment shifted in the formation's direction, causing it to activate. In the next moment, an area of just 20 kilometers was covered by the formation. There was no need for the area to be big, and twenty kilometers was quite an exaggeration already for what Rean and Roan needed. 

After the land was covered by the formation, it didn't change at all. However, anything put inside definitely wouldn't be seen from the outside.

"Phew... it is finally ready," Rean commented with a satisfied expression. 

*Zush!*

Roan appeared on his side like a ghost, looking at the surroundings. "Quite a plain field but with a good concentration of Divine Energy. This should suffice."

The twins then separated, going each to one side inside the formation. A moment later...

*Boom!*

Two enormous buildings appeared, landing on the ground with a loud sound. Yet nothing happened to the buildings. The Spatial Laws of the Circuitry Formation Runes made sure that the impact was not felt by any of the equipment inside the buildings or even the structures themselves. The Soul Gem Blacksmith and Alchemy Workshop have now made their first appearance outside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

*Zush, zush, zush, zush...*

Following that, a few tens of people also appeared inside. They were either related to Roan's Alchemy or Rean's Blacksmith workshops. In those two groups, some were the specialists from Earth, while others were Alchemists, Formations Masters, or Blacksmiths from the old Dalamu and the other older sects from Sunkan. Rean decided to use Roan's idea and initiate these people in the way of blacksmiths and formations with the help of the new equipment. The Circuitry Formation Repository wasn't outside, though. But that one was not necessary to be there.

"Well then, time to practice."
