Death... and me

Chapter 3686: Call

Back in the Divine Realm of Universe F956, within a hidden location protected by a powerful concealing formation, a portrait shone with silver light. Before long, five lights shot out of the portrait, quickly disappearing and revealing the twins’ group.

They could all feel that they were back just by sensing the energy in the environment. When they looked in the portrait’s direction, the portrait was already gone. Nothing more than some remnants of spatial energy remained. It wouldn’t be before a hundred to two hundred thousand years until those portraits started to pop up all around the Universe again.

"Wait!" Elsie looked around. She could see Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis. Yet, her Master, Royer, wasn’t there. "Where is Master?!"

Rean shrugged. "Obviously not here. Did you forget? He didn’t get sent to the Golden Palace through the same portrait as we. My guess is that he was sent to the same location where he had entered his portrait during the previous opening."

Elsie quickly took out her CD, accessing the Werdlem Network. A moment later, she managed to contact her master. ’Master, are you okay?’

Royer quickly confirmed. -Yes. I’m back in the same place I left the Universe. Everything here is falling apart after so many years, though. I’ll go back to our continent. Meet me there later.-

Elsie was relieved. ’Yes, master.’

"How is it?" Rean noticed her reaction.

"It’s just as you said. He was sent back to the same place where he left last time." Elsie then put her CD away in her Pocket Dimensional Realm. But then, it dawned on her. Everything is over. "Errr... So... what now?"

Roan answered. "What now? Now you go home. I doubt anyone will be coming after you since you obviously won’t have the portrait anymore. That would be a waste of time."

Kentucky was already opening a gap to leave that place. "Hey, let’s leave. We have been confined for way too long already. I want to spread my wings."

No one had any complaints, and they all stepped outside. Rean was the last one, as he collected the runes from that concealing formation that could be used again. It was currently day, and the warmth was quite reinvigorating. "Oh yeah... this is nice!"

But then, everyone’s CDs activated, and a message reached them. Not only the twins’ group, but every single CD of the Universe. Well, with the sole exception of the CDs inside the Divine Snow World or other places where the Werdlem Signal couldn’t reach.

-A message from Universe F956’s owner, Triaglia, will be relayed in an hour.-

No CD could block that message, and when it appeared, everyone made sure to pay attention.

"That was quite fast..." Rean commented. "I wonder how the Camazotz Bats will feel when they hear about it. Triaglia will probably tell her highest elders about the changes privately, and then tell everyone else in the Universe herself."

"Rifindio is a mutated bat, not a Camazotz Bat anymore. Will he be able to control everything?" Kentucky wondered.

However, Roan just snorted. "Hmph! Rifindio won’t be back for a while, but when he gets here, he will be a Celestial Realm Expert. It won’t matter if others want to accept him or not, they will be forced to. You all know what kind of power a Celestial Realm Expert has, especially one who is the Universe’s Owner."

Following that, Roan took a deep breath outside...

*Zush!*

And disappeared. He returned to the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm. ’I have a few things to contemplate, so don’t bother me for the next few days.’

Celis didn’t waste time either. He wanted to start cultivating straight away. "Alright, I’m going back too. Try to find a good place to settle down and come inside the Dimensional Realm. We need to cultivate."

"Wait, Celis!" Rean stopped him. "Don’t start cultivating straight away. Let Roan and me buy the upgrades first."

"Buy upgrades?" Elsie asked, curious. "What upgrades?" She lived inside the Dimensional Realm for years, but she was never told about the system and the other abilities the twins’ group had.

"That’s our little secret," Rean smiled. "Anyway, Celis, just use the next few days to prepare instead. Go talk to Zangeshu. He could make a few formations to help with the use of the fruits."

Celis nodded in the end. "Alright, but don’t make me wait for too long."

*Zush!*

Then, he also disappeared.

Only Kentucky, Rean, and Elsie remained outside.

"I don’t want to go back to cultivate straight away," Kentucky sighed.

Rean had the same opinion. "Indeed. Anyway, we are quite far away from the nearest city. How about we fly there leisurely? Elsie, we can see you off there."

Elsie was happy to comply. Just in case she was still being pursued, Rean and Kentucky could help her. "Sure!"

As they weren’t in a hurry, it would take a few days to reach the next city. Of course, just an hour after they began to make their way to that city, their CDs received the message. It was, in fact, a live video, being transmitted to the entire Universe.

-Most of you have never seen me, so let me introduce myself. I’m Triaglia, also known as the Owner of Universe F956. This is the first time I’m talking to everyone since I took the place as the Supreme Leader of this Universe. Most of you weren’t alive back then, obviously.-

She continued. -The reason I’m reaching out to you all is that I’ll be leaving this Universe for good. However, the Werdlem Empire demands a new Universe Owner, and just recently, the Celestial Supreme Palace exploration ended.-

-You can research the palace on the network later, as it is no secret. But to make it simple, there is indeed a chance of becoming a Celestial Realm Expert there, and that’s what happened this time. This new Celestial Realm Expert will take my place as the new Universe Owner.-

-His name is Rifindio, and he should come back to this Universe in the next thousand or two thousand years. Several preparations are necessary so he can take my place, so all the powers of the Universe, especially those with deeper connections with my Supreme Palace, will soon receive many instructions to follow. For now, this is all I have to say. Further details will be released in the near future, so keep a close eye on the Werdlem network.-

Finally, the live call ended.

Rean put his CD away. "Well, things will get interesting during the next few years."
