Death... and me

There was a reason for the Formation Guild to accept Rean's offer. Naturally, it was Rean's introduction to the Circuitry Formations. In there, he had explained very simple runes that blew the Zasfin Formation Masters' minds. Of course, they immediately tried to add his ideas into their formations, and it really worked!

Because of that, the Formation Masters of the Zasfin territories didn't care about the integration plan anymore. They had to acquire more information about Rean's Circuitry Formations. The new methodology was simply world-changing for them. Whether they liked humans or not didn't matter anymore.

It was then that Rean received another visit from the Formations= Master Guild. This time, however, it wasn't just a representative. It was a member of the Soul Rulers Organization and someone Rean knew way too well!

"Oh! Long time no see, Senior Palaris." For those that had already forgotten what had happened in the past, Palaris was the Zasfin that asked Sevinia to allow Rean to work on formations back in the Soul Rulers headquarters. In a certain way, he was the one who helped Rean reach the Heaven-level as a Formation Master.

Palaris didn't look very happy to see Rean again, though. "Hmph! I'm only here because the Formation Masters of the organization insisted on having me come. If I could, I would never see your face again. Do you know how bad the backlash that Ophele and I received because of what you did?"

Rean scratched the back of his head, saying in response, "Well, I had no choice. I was trying to save the humans locked down there, and I did. If it were you, would you simply let your race become Soul Stones in the end?"

Palaris narrowed his eyes, telling Rean in response, "At least there wasn't any punishment, and that was because of our clan's help."

"And now one of your clan members has become the Head of the Soul Rulers Organization," Rean added. "I think I paid off what I did quite well."

Palaris was taken aback after hearing that. "What are you talking about?"

Rean was even more surprised to hear that, asking, "Wait! Didn't your clan tell you about what happened?"

Palaris immediately shook his head as he responded, "I know nothing. As far as I'm concerned, it was Senior Duran's efforts that put Sevinia there."

Rean laughed out loud in response, finally understanding what was happening. "Hahaha! Well, I guess it makes sense that they haven't told you. This secret would probably ruin their clan, after all." Rean then nodded. "Alright, it was thanks to Senior Duran's efforts that Sevinia became the Soul Rulers Organization's headmaster. I had nothing to do with it. Let's keep it at that."

Of course, Palaris wasn't an idiot. He understood that the twins definitely had something to do with the election of the new Soul Rulers' headmaster. However, he also understood that it wasn't something Rean could talk about. Thus, he made a mental note to ask Sevinia directly once he was back. "Anyways, I'm here because of the communication system. Our Formation Master Guild accepts your idea. There's an airship waiting outside Freedom City with quite a few Formation Masters in waiting. We can establish a Formation Master Guild branch in the city at any time."

Rean was delighted to hear that. "Great! And what about the Zasfins that will be sent to live in the human cities? Have you figured those out already? I've already selected the humans who will enter the Formation Master Guild branches in Palif Empire."

Palaris nodded, saying in response, "Yes, they should be heading to the cities mentioned in the agreement at this very moment. We will also build small Formation Guild branches in there so that they can accept humans and pass the formations to them. Of course, only a scant few have cultivation or side occupations. The majority are ordinary Zasfins. In total, we should have around a million and a half Zasfins being sent to your Wringan Continent's Fausec Country."

Rean didn't mind. "That's perfect. Zasfins are a lot more prideful when it comes to their cultivation. Ordinary Zasfins are easier to deal with and more open to new ideas. As I mentioned before, I will guarantee their safety AS LONG as they don't try to act high and mighty within our territories. Those who still think that we should be slaves will definitely have a hard time, though."

Palaris nodded, already expecting as much. "Now then, the reason they sent me here is that they believe I can get more from you than any other Formation Master. They think that we still have a relationship of some sort. I don't think it's possible, but I will ask anyway. Would you give me the rest of the methodology of the Circuitry Formations for what I taught you in the past?"

Rean smiled in response, saying, "To be honest, I would wait at least a few years before doing anything extra. However, since it's Senior Palaris, someone who helped me reach the Heaven-level, I will make an exception." Rean then took out a jade slip from the Dimensional Realm and threw it at Palaris, telling him, "Inside, there contains a few extra steps regarding the Circuitry Formations. I'm sure the Zasfins will take a long time working on them and finding their uses."

Palaris was taken aback from hearing that. "Is that true?"

Rean nodded, responding, "Yes. If your Formation Masters have a very open mind, they should be able to figure out a thing or two about the communication system. It will be impossible for them to build a communication system of their own with just that, but this is already a start. You can consider it as a token of faith that I will keep my promise in the years to come."

Palaris was more than satisfied with that. "That's good enough. The Formation Master Guild thought they would need to wait at least ten years before you gave them any extra information regarding the Circuitry Formations. With this, I can at least guarantee you that the Zasfins will keep working on your integration plan."

Rean was happy to hear that. "That's fine, then."

Palaris and Rean then talked for a while longer before Palaris decided to leave. However, just before he did that, he left a few words behind. "By the way, Ophele is one of the Formation Masters who will be teaching in the Freedom City's branch." Rean didn't even have time to say anything before Palaris disappeared from the room.
