Death… And Me

Chapter 3102  Didn't Pay Attention

Lisan Universe indeed accepted giving Garisan their Werdlem Treasures... but not all of them. They reached an agreement that only the Werdlem Hexahedron would be given to Garisan.

As one can imagine, Garisan didn't want only one. But, in the end, it was still a Werdlem Empire Treasure. Something that they couldn't simply obtain any time they wanted. Lisan was willing to take their chances and let Garisan leave rather than give up all their Werdlem Treasures. The reason was pretty simple. Not only could they not use the mass teleportation the twins used before, but they were too weak after the war. If they gave everything to Garisan, Garisan could easily turn against them. At that moment, there would be nothing else that could be done. Garisan then put a few extra terms on top of the Werdlem Hexahedron, including the addition of many of their own experts into Lisan Universe. Garisan wanted to make sure Lisan Universe understood that they were the ones in command. Lisan would join them as a Vassal Universe, and as a Vassal Universe, they had to act like. It goes without saying that Lisan also put their terms on the table, but they accepted Garisan being considered the one in control of Lisan Universe. Above all, the various Semi-Celestials of Lisan Universe still had hope to learn more about the Celestial Realm. And with Garisan as their allies, they would get access to that information.

Rean heard all of that and couldn't help but ask. "So... does that mean the experts in Lisan are now Garisan Citizens?"

Kentucky confirmed. "That's pretty much it. In the years you have been gone, many of the Garisan Experts took positions in the various powers of Lisan. Of course, they did not get control over the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, but they were allowed to use it."

Kentucky then accessed his Pocket Dimensional Realm... or so he tried. "Shit! I can't control my Spatial Powers anymore!"

"Obviously," Rean shrugged. "You are a Stage Six Demon Beast, so how could you? What was it that you wanted to take out?"

"My ID card from Garisan," Kentucky explained.

The entire Lisan Universe was then added to the Garisan Empire's network. Of course, there are plenty of planets back in Lisan that still haven't received any cultivators. A universe is that big, after all. The planet the twins are on at the moment was like this twenty thousand years ago before the Werdlem Empire finally appeared. And the Werdlem Empire had conquered this Universe much, much longer ago.

Because of that, the IDs in the Lisan Universe were first introduced to the mainly populated areas in the three Higher Realms and some important planets of the Mortal Realm. As for the rest, it will take a very long time to get everyone's information.

Another issue was Lisan Universe's Technology, which lagged far behind Garisan's. Garisan sent plenty of Circuitry Formation experts to help Lisan Universe enter the new technological era. That was also something that would take thousands of years but had to be done.

"I see..." Rean nodded. "That place will probably be a completely different Universe once we manage to come back."

Now that they knew the Universe was fine, Roan decided to ask about the rest. "What about Calina and that idiot son of mine?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Kentucky smiled and relaxed. "There is no need to worry. Qia, Calina, your children, some of our friends, etc. Their connection to you has been concealed pretty deep, and Garisan has no way to find out about them. Right now, they are all still working in the Circuitry Formations or whatever they got to do."

The twins sighed in relief. "We have to thank Kafan and the others for that when we come back."

"Although Kafan definitely did it to help you two, it was more due to your importance to Lisa," Kentucky commented. "As I said, only a few really know that you were responsible for the mass transfer of armies all over the Universe. Garisan still thinks Lisan Universe can do it. If they find out you two were the reason, they would also target Qia, Calina, and the others. Regardless of whether Lisan Experts wish it or not, they must not let this information leak."

Roan narrowed his eyes. "But that also means Garisan could bribe someone. Let's say... offer one of the Semi-Celestials the secret to reach the Celestial Realm in exchange for information. Calina and the others aren't safe yet."

Kentucky had to admit Roan's words made sense. "That's true. I don't think Kafan, Soul, Huban, and the others would have missed this possibility, though."

Roan's expression relaxed a bit after hearing that. "They better not."

Kentucky then scratched the back of his head before speaking the next part. "However, they were pretty affected by your deaths... Calina and Qia especially."

"Don't worry," Rean spoke with confidence. "Those girls are strong. The very fact Qia returned to work with Circuitry Formations proves it. Besides, we won't be gone for long."

Kentucky had his doubts. "We won't? The Charybdis said to only come back in the Celestial Realm, and we are nowhere near that."

"Well... at least we won't have problems with our breakthroughs," Rean tried to see the positives.

Roan changed the topic there. "What about Soul Gem? Did he say anything to you after we were gone? He is definitely involved. Perhaps he did something suspicious or similar?"

Kentucky pondered a bit but shook his head in the end. "All I can say for sure is that he fought very hard to get the best terms possible for our Lisan Universe. Other than that, I don't think he did anything out of the ordinary. Of course, he is Soul Gem, so you never know what he might be doing in the shadows."

"In the shadows?" Rean asked back.

"Yes," Kentucky continued. "After the negotiations were concluded, he pretty much disappeared from public sight. I can... could still contact him through the Communication Badges at any time, but I had no idea where he went. I simply didn't pay attention to it."
