Chapter 155 - 1070-1083 nameless

Chapter 1070: Let's Get Going

"Hmm...they didn't go far, nor does it look they were in a hurry." Rean followed their tracks until he reached the base of the mountain. There, the trail began to skirt around it as he followed the clues. Eventually, he came across a cave entrance. "Seems like they went inside."

Rean kept his Divine Sense and Soul Power Scan spread as he moved through the cave. Naturally, one would never know whether it could be a trap or not. 'Sister Orb, if you detect any formation, let me know.'

[On it. There doesn't seem to be anything as far as my detection range goes, though.]

Rean nodded, knowing how precise Sister Orb's detection was. She might take a very long time to analyze a high-level formation. But if it was just detecting one, then he had never seen her fail.

Rean also kept his Light and Divine Sense bending skill active, just in case. He didn't have to walk for much longer, though. After twenty minutes or so, he began to hear two people talking to each other.

"Hahaha! So that's what Naile did, huh? He's such a figure."

"Hehe. Well, that's Naile for you. He would be happy if he could see you right now, you know?"

"It's fine. This is something I decided on myself. Besides, I'll obtain a huge reward when it's over."

Rean could see that it was Fatax and Langara talking to each other. However, he couldn't help but feel that Langara seemed somewhat different. 

Fatax's eyes narrowed as he became pensive. "Sister, things are not so simple anymore, you know? While you were sleeping, many things happened."

Rean was surprised to hear that. 'Sister? I see...that's not Langara, but the soul of the owner's body, Eminia. So Langara can allow the owner's body to take over...or perhaps she has to do it periodically.'

Eminia patted her brother's shoulders as she said in response, "It's fine. I trust Matriarch Langara will find a solution for it. I'm just happy that she allowed you to follow her because of me. That little already shows a lot about Matriarch's character."

Suddenly, Eminia touched her head, feeling some pain.

"Is matriarch coming out?"

Eminia nodded in response. "Yes, she has rested for long enough. This break in that Cosgles Race's village was a huge relief for her as she was close to reaching her limit." Eminia then smiled at Fatax, telling him, "I'll see you another time, brother."

Fatax didn't look very happy as he nodded. "Sure, I'll see you another time."

Eminia then closed her eyes. As Rean watched it, he could feel the demeanor of the girl changing before she opened her eyes once again. "Sigh...the intervals are getting smaller. We need to reach the fairies soon. Truly, what a terrible moment for that man to start stirring up problems in the clan."

It was then that a voice came from behind the cave room Fatax and Langara were talking. "Oh, so do you want me to increase our travel speed?"

Fatax and Langara were taken aback as they looked in the direction of the voice. "You! How long have you been there?"

"Long enough to know that you need to take some time to rest," Rean explained. "Don't tell me I shouldn't have done it. You two had been out of the village for many hours, you know? It was obvious that Roan or I would come out to look for you. Of course, if I noticed that you wanted to leave our group, then I wouldn't have come as you aren't our prisoners or anything like that."

Langara narrowed her eyes after hearing that. "However, there was no need to be that sneaky, right?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "If I wanted to, you wouldn't even know I was here. In any case, there was no need to keep this problem hidden from me. We have a deal about the fragments, don't we? I would have tried to increase our speed. Still, what do you mean by intervals getting smaller? Could it be that you have to change into another body soon?"

"That's not your problem. In any case, this situation shouldn't happen again," Langara answered. "So, how's your Golden Rascol? Is it ready to fly?"

Rean sighed after hearing her words, nodding soon after as he replied, "Rascal is definitely ready to take flight. That's why I came to look for you. Let's go."

On the way out, Rean also offered, "Well, if you feel like you're having issues with your soul, let me know. Light Element is very useful for these kinds of matters. I don't think I can heal the issue with compatibility between you and this little girl. However, I can definitely alleviate the strain."

Langara couldn't help but say in response, "You're quite naive, aren't you? Or perhaps a pushover could be a better description."

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed in response to those words. "Roan often says the same thing. Do you think it's a flaw?"

Fatax and Langara nodded together. "In the Realm of Gods, it definitely is."

Rean then asked back, "Then, do you think this is an issue with me, or is it an issue with the people in the Realm of Gods? Is it really bad to be a good person? Or is it the Realm of Gods' way of thinking that makes it seem that way?" 

"This..." Langara and Fatax were taken aback. Was it really a bad thing to be good? In normal circumstances, they would say yes. Then again, wasn't it because Rean was good to them that they reached this far? That also included Roan, although, in his case, he simply thought it to be more interesting to have more hardships.

"Think about it. Perhaps you'll see the world in a different light in the future."

Rean then left ahead, leaving Langara and Fatax with pensive expressions. Of course, they quickly recovered from it and put those thoughts behind their mind. Above everything else, they needed to reach the fairies' territory.

Roan was already waiting close to Rascal, ready to depart at any moment. Of course, he heard everything that happened with Rean through their Soul Connection. "You're finally back. Let's get going."

Chapter 1071: That's Correct

In the village, Rean talked with Aien one last time. "Don't forget our deal, okay? I'll be back at some point. Or perhaps, I'll send someone to get the Earth's Remnants you gather."

"Sure thing," Aien said in response.

After that, the Golden Rascol then took flight once again before heading towards the Erqs Forest once more. There was still a month's worth of journey. 

The few cities they stopped by were for them to only buy things they needed. Rean and Roan also used different appearances, making Langara and Fatax wait outside every time with Rascal. It was hard to imagine someone made their way there faster than them, but there was no harm in being careful.

Eventually, they left the last city, called Tares, which was the closest one to Erqs Forest. "We're almost there. Two more days, and we'll be inside the territory where the fairies live."

The fairies couldn't be seen unless one met the necessary conditions like sufficient cultivation or the possession of detecting treasures. With that being said, it made perfect sense for them to live in the middle of the demon beasts' territory without caring about being attacked.

Roan then looked at Langara before asking, "Do you think there's any chance of someone from your clan waiting for us?"

Langara shook her head in response. "No one knew where I was going. All they knew was the direction due to the tracking seal in my soul. However, you removed it quite early, so I doubt anyone can find us. Besides..." Langara looked at Rean's concealment skill that was always active. "Let alone the fact that the place is too big. With this skill activated, I doubt they would even notice us passing by."

Rean was happy to hear that. "Good thing it's helping out."

Their group continued the travel for a few more hours without any issues when suddenly...

*Bzzzzz!*

"Aaaaarrrgghh!!!" Langara put her hands on her head as she screamed in pain.

"What?!" Rean, Roan, and Fatax were taken aback. "Are you alright?"

However, Langara's pain was so great that she couldn't even talk. With that said, Rean could only look at Fatax. "What's happening?"

Fatax was in a dilemma about whether he should talk about the ancestor's issues or not. However, that body was his sister's. Not to mention that her soul was still there. Eventually, Fatax gritted his teeth before explaining, "The connection between the Matriarch's soul and my sister's body is too weak. She's being rejected by my sister even though my sister doesn't want it to happen."

Roan found it weird. However, he decided to leave his questions for later. "Rean, try and see if you can alleviate the issue."

Rean nodded and immediately touched Langara's shoulder as a burst of Light Element entered her body. Rean focused on the head, where the soul could be found. However, this time he wasn't only able to see Langara's soul, but Eminia's slumbering soul as well. "This..."

There, he saw something that looked ridiculous. "Your sister's soul... is eating your matriarch's soul away!"

"What?!" Fatax was shocked to hear that. "That's impossible! My sister would never do that!"

Rean shook his head as he clarified, "Indeed, she isn't doing it on her own. I can tell that her soul is slumbering. However, she's doing it unconsciously."

Roan understood something at that point, muttering, "Now everything makes sense." He then looked at Rean, telling him, "Anyways, do something if you can."

"Oh, right!" Rean's Divine Soul Power and Light Element then formed a barrier between Langara and Eminia's soul. With that, Langara's soul finally began to recover as Eminia's soul slumbered once more. Rean knew where it was, though. He made sure the barrier would stay there in case the soul appeared again.

Langara then fell asleep during the flight, and it wouldn't be until a few hours later that she finally opened her eyes. "Wh-what happened?" She obviously still felt a huge headache as she held her head with her hand, but it was at least tolerable now.

Fatax, of course, immediately told her what had happened to her. Following that, Langara checked her soul and noticed that the Light Element and Divine Soul Power barrier that separated her from the invisible host. "Such a peerless Soul Power Barrier. It has the help of Divine Energy as well. The synchronization between the two energies is so unbelievable that I can't even tell which one is which." 

Langara then looked at Rean with obvious surprise written all over her face. "This isn't about the control of Soul Power and Divine Energy or Elements whatsoever. The matters of the soul are extremely delicate. How can you be so good at it despite being so young? As far as I know, not even the Royal Family would have such capacity to do this."

Rean shrugged his shoulders after hearing that. "That's what you think. But how well do you know the Royal Family?" Obviously, he wouldn't tell that it was because of the Soul Gem System. The natural fusion of Divine Energy and Soul Power from the upgrade made things much easier. Besides, Rean and Roan had been tinkering with the matters of the soul for a long time already.

Langara didn't know whether Rean was telling the truth or not, but that didn't matter. The fact was that he truly saved her from a predicament. "Thank you. If you hadn't intervened, I don't know what could have happened."

Rean nodded with a smile, but it was Roan who talked after that. "Now I understand why every time you jump from one body to another, the previous owner would obtain a boost in their talents. That's because each one of them is consuming your soul before you have to leave. That also explains why the Clan Head of your Talan Clan wants you so much."

Roan continued, "Most likely, he noticed that you were close to reaching your limit. That it won't be long before you lose all your strength and your soul is fully consumed. He wants to make sure you will at least help improve the members of the clan before that happens. Or perhaps, he wants to use some other method to make sure you don't disappear."

Langara didn't even bother to pretend after that, saying succinctly, "That's correct."

Chapter 1072: Talan Clan's Plans

"Matriarch-" Fatax was about to intervene when Langara raised her hand.

"It's fine," she told him. "You're correct about my soul being consumed by my descendants. I was a pretty strong cultivator before I was forced to send my soul into someone else's body. That being said, my soul was also very strong. However, as time passed, the souls of the bodies I took over began to consume my own soul."

Rean pondered over it for a bit before asking, "Are you doing it on purpose or is it a side effect?"

"Do I look like someone who would allow that to happen?" Langara asked in response.

Rean shrugged his shoulders after that. "Fair enough." Obviously, no one would want that to happen to them, especially Langara, who was a strong cultivator in the past.

Langara continued, "As you can imagine, I'm going to see the fairies because they can help with my condition."

"I didn't know fairies were good at matters of the soul," Rean could not help but say.

Langara then explained, "Well, most people know very little if anything at all about fairies. However, they're indeed a race with strong connections to matters related to the soul. Well, that also happens to help out their ability in messing around with people's karma threads. Or, as some would call, controlling luck."

Roan couldn't help but ask after that, "But how would they be able to help you?"

Langara shook her head in response. "That I'm not sure. It's not like I know a lot about them either. However, during the time I was still in my own body, I heard a rumor from another cultivator. He told me fairies could move someone's soul to an empty body without any side effects."

"Empty body?" Rean and Roan's attention was piqued by those words. "You mean, a dead body without a soul?"

Langara shook her head as she had no clue either. "I don't know. That's as far as I heard. At that time, I wasn't interested in it. That was simply some random conversation that happened to enter my ears. Maybe I'm completely wrong, and they can't do anything about it."

Fatax had a sad expression, obviously showing he knew about it as well. He knew that the chances were very low.

Langara then looked at Rean. "By the way, this barrier separating Eminia from my soul is really good. Would you perhaps consider working for me if things don't work out? Or, at least, showing me how you did that?"

Rean shook his head, declining as he told her, "You won't be able to use the same ability. For that, you need Light Element Affinity." Rean was telling a half-truth there. Not only would one need Light Element Affinity, but one would also need Divine Soul Power, which was given by the Soul Gem System.

It was then that Rean realized. "Ah! How could I have forgotten? Fairies also have Light Element Affinity! Of course, they should be good at the matters of the soul." 

Langara nodded. "Also, how about working for me? I'm sure I can give you as many resources as the Royal Family does. It's not that I'm as wealthy as them, but I would need to only care about you."

Rean immediately shook his head. "No can do. My brother and I won't stay around forever. We want to see the entire Realm of Gods. At the very least, I'll keep helping you until we get to the fairies, although we are only a day away from their territory."

Rean also added, "Besides, this is nothing but a stopgap solution. It won't resolve the root cause of your problem, so you shouldn't rely on it."

Langara let out a sigh after that. "I understand." In fact, she understood it. However, having Rean always close to her would give her time to find another solution to the issue in case the fairies didn't work.

Langara then continued, "As for Roan's second question. It is as you said. The Clan Head of my Talan Clan knows that I'm quickly losing my power. He wants to squeeze out every ounce of my worth before I'm gone. Do you remember when Volrei told me that the guy wanted to rival the Royal Family?" 

Rean and Roan nodded and waited for Langara to finish. "His idea is to force me into the descendants of his side of the clan, even those without a pure enough bloodline. As you could imagine, it would deteriorate my state even further. If I go into someone with a weak bloodline, that body's soul will consume my soul even faster."

Roan understood. "I see where you're coming from. It's not because someone has a purer bloodline that they have better talent. At the very least, not in your clan's case, as your blood and the Graskin Race's blood have mixed." 

Rean also got to the crux of the issue, saying, "With that said, he might as well squeeze you dry into some of the best talents on his side. Once you're done, the clan would have a few talents that might even surpass the best ones from the Royal Family. In the future, as long as they're careful, they really might have the strength to rival the Royal Family when those talents grow."

Langara bitterly smiled in response. "Quite pitiful, am I not? I'm the one who started that clan. If not for me, it wouldn't even exist. But now, they want to kill me so that they can have more power."

Fatax then added, "As you noticed, our clan has been very low profile because of the Matriarch. However, this low-profile demeanor is what the Clan Head and the ones on his side don't want anymore. They believe that because of the Matriarch's bloodline, they should rise into prominence."

Rean pondered in silence for a bit before deciding to ask. "You still haven't told us from which race she is."

"This..." Fatax was taken aback as he looked at Langara.

Rean also added, "However, I do know about a few races with her power. The Ascesfe Race and the Ogram Race. Are you part of any of those?"

"Ridiculous!" Langara answered in rage. "Don't compare me with those wicked things. Wait! How do you even know about those races?"

Rean just smiled in response. Of course, it was all thanks to Sister Orb's knowledge.

Chapter 1073: The Barrier

"Well, we do have our own intelligence network," Rean replied.

Langara narrowed her eyes but decided to let it go. "Fine, my clan has been keeping a low profile, so we don't really know the extent of the Royal Family's network." She then continued, "However, I'm not part of any of those two wicked races. I don't eat others' souls, nor do I force others' souls into older bodies."

Rean could tell at least that much. "I know. I already confirmed that when I helped you earlier."

After that, Langara talked about her race, telling them, "I'm part of the Vitri Race."

"Vitri Race?" Rean and Roan were surprised to hear that. "We thought you were part of the Loral Race."

"Loral Race?" Langara was surprised that the twins brought out this name. "That's a more secretive race. I'm truly impressed with the Royal Family's intelligence network."

With those words, Rean and Roan also understood something else. "By the way you're talking, I find it hard to believe you're someone from the Kamos Kingdom. Or better yet, I don't even think you came from our Yukirrom Region or any of the nearby regions."

Langara shrugged her shoulders as she replied, "Indeed. If not because of a coincidence, I wouldn't have come to this place. I'm from someplace very far away."

"How far?" The one who asked was Fatax, who hadn't heard about it either.

Langara then noticed that she was talking too much already. "That's enough for now. Just to satisfy your curiosity, let's say that traveling at this speed, we wouldn't arrive even after a thousand years of continuous flight. That's as far as I'll say."

Sure, the Yukirrom Region and the nearby regions surrounding it were vast. However, that was only when one compared it to the planets Rean and Roan had lived in before. Those places were still considered very remote places. In fact, even if Rean and Roan traveled for a thousand years, they would barely move at all inside the Realm of Gods. However, a thousand years would definitely be enough for them to pass through hundreds of regions if they traveled with Kentucky.

"Well, it seems like we're in a similar situation, then," Rean mentioned with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Fatax and Langara asked right after.

Rean then explained everything that happened before and how everyone thought they came from somewhere extremely far away from Yukirrom Region. He also told Langara why he had the Royal Family's token, which was why he had so much information as well.

"This..." Langara and Fatax were shocked by what they heard. Until now, they were absolutely sure that Rean and Roan were descendants of the Royal Family, but that was obviously not the case. Well, since Fabio gave them his token, it wasn't wrong to say that they were part of the Royal Family, though.

It was then that Langara thought about something. "Now that you mention it, there's one thing I haven't asked so far. Why do you want to see the fairies? Does it have something to do with your arrival in the Kamos Kingdom?"

Roan glanced at Rean, who nodded and explained, "That's pretty much it. Well, to keep things short, we didn't want to come to this place. So far, we have been looking for information that could bring us back to our Turin Region." Of course, that was a lie. They didn't even know if such a region existed. "Anyways, we received a clue that we might get some directions if we can talk with the fairies. That's why we're heading there." Rean made it very vague but said enough to explain the reason.

Langara could relate to the twins' predicament. The only difference was that she at least knew where her region was. However, the fact was that her conditions and the distance itself made it extremely hard and near impossible to return. In a certain way, she didn't know how to go back, just like them.

Rean and the others then talked for a while longer before Langara laid on the Golden Rascol's back to sleep. Rean had helped her with her condition, but the previous assault still weakened Langara. Since they were still a day away from the fairies' territory, she might as well rest until then.

The day quickly passed without any issues. Sure enough, Rean's group had entered another demon beast region. However, with the Light and Divine Sense bending skill, they didn't need to be afraid of being found by high-level demon beasts. 

The good thing was that Rean's group at least knew where to find the fairies' territory, thanks to Sienna's help. Rean still had the Fairy Essence Pearl as well. When Rean's group got close, he finally asked Fatax to wake Langara up. 

"What is it? Are we there already?" Langara asked, who had a much better appearance now.

Rean nodded in response. "That's right. We should just be in front of the barrier protecting the fairies' territory."

"Barrier?" Fatax and Langara seemed confused. "Was there a barrier around their territory?"

Rean then looked back at them. "You didn't know? The fairies' territory has some kind of barrier that disrupts your sense of direction. You wouldn't be able to truly enter their territory, and you wouldn't even notice it."

Langara and Fatax shook their heads. "We... didn't know."

Rean couldn't help but say after that, "Wow! I'm surprised you really relied on the Fallen Light Star Fragment alone to talk to them. Chances were you wouldn't get close to anyone, so it would be useless."

Roan didn't care about any of that as he looked ahead. "Take the Fairy Essence Pearl out. Otherwise, it'll be us that won't notice anything."

Rean nodded and quickly took Sienna's pearl out of the Dimensional Realm. Sure enough, as soon as it came out, the pearl began to shine. It was as if it reacted to something ahead of them.

Rascal continued to fly ahead when suddenly, the pearl in Rean's hand released a stream of energy that covered their group. Obviously, they were entering the fairies' territory, and the pearl was making sure they weren't heading in the wrong direction.

Chapter 1074: In the Fairies' Territory

Rascal continued forward as Rean's group looked around. The Fairy Essence Pearl seemed to show the way to the area. One thing Rean's group saw was that there were a few demon beasts here and there. It wasn't that they weren't affected by the effect of the barrier, but instead, they didn't even know they were inside it.

Eventually, Rean felt some ripples of Light Element radiate from ahead. "Seems like we've arrived."

Suddenly, Rean's group finished passing through the barrier and arrived at the fairies' territory. It was a very colorful place. Life seemed to be prominent as all kinds of plants could be seen. It was a really beautiful place. However, Rean paid a lot more attention to the spots of light moving everywhere in that place. "Rascal, go down."

The Golden Rascol immediately landed, allowing Rean's group to come out. Following that, Rean raised his hand, showing that he had Sienna's Fairy Essence Pearl. Of course, Rean was the only person able to see the fairies.

"Hey, that an Essence Pearl!"

"Someone gave this guy an essence pearl."

"It must be something important."

"Or perhaps he forced it out of the fairy who created it."

Roan, Langara, and Fatax heard those voices coming from everywhere but couldn't tell where exactly. Nevertheless, it didn't take long for the fairies to reveal themselves as they gathered around Rean's group. Sometime later, a bigger fairy that seemed to be the leader of the group came to talk with them. "Why do you have Sienna's Fairy Essence Pearl?"

Rean smiled in response, saying, "I didn't do anything to her if that's what you're thinking. It was Sienna herself that asked me to come here. She couldn't do it herself since she was following the guy with the Fairy Queen's Blessing."

That bigger fairy then approached the pearl. Following that, it released some Divine Energy and Soul Power that seemed to interact with the pearl itself. Only then did it relax as he looked at Rean, saying, "Indeed, she left a message in Fae Language inside talking about you."

"Was there a message inside?" Rean's group was surprised to hear that.

The bigger fairy nodded, explaining, "Indeed. We can record our thoughts inside. In case someone forces the pearl to be made, the fairy can also leave a warning inside. It's impossible for anyone to tell what the message is other than other fairies. So even if the perpetrator knows of it, he wouldn't have a way to know whether the fairy did as he asked or not. Consider it a security measure for our Fairy Race."

Rean nodded after hearing that. "I'm glad to hear that. By the way, my name is Rean. The people beside me are Roan, Langara, and Fatax."

The bigger fairy also introduced itself. "Thicket Cedarthistle, that's my name. I do know about your brother, as he was mentioned in Sienna's message. However, why are there two more people? Not to mention that one of them has two souls."

Langara was shaken by Thicket's words. "You can tell that easily?"

Thicket snorted in response. "Hmph! It might have been difficult if you were in good condition. However, seeing how you're barely holding your soul together, even the most inexperienced fairies would notice it straight away. How did you even get to that point?"

Langara didn't waste time and immediately took out the Fallen Light Star Fragment from her Spatial Ring. Sure enough, all the Fairies below the Elemental Transformation Realm in the area focused on that as the abundance of Light Element made it the perfect material for their breakthrough. "Please, I beg the fairies' help. I'm willing to give this Fallen Light Star Fragment if you can find a way to deal with my Soul Problem."

Rean and Roan didn't intervene as Langara's issue seemed a lot more urgent.

Thicket had to admit the Fallen Light Star Fragment was a very good thing for the fairies. "Oh! It had been some time since I saw one of those." He then extended his hand, using his Divine Energy to capture the fragment and pull it into his hands. In Langara's hand, it fit pretty nicely. But it looked enormous when held by a small fairy like Thicket, and that was even considering he was bigger than the fairies around. "Hmm... it's also of nice quality. The Light Element stored inside seems ready for use at any time."

Thicket was already in the Elemental Transformation Realm, so the fragment didn't matter much for him. Nevertheless, it could be used by other fairies. Although there were many fairies around at the moment, the fact was that they were very rare. In the entire Yukirrom Region, this was basically the only territory they lived in. Any other place, one could at most find some vagrant fairies, but that was extremely unlikely.

In the end, Thicket nodded and told her, "Very well, I'll help you as long as it's something our methods can fix. I need to hear more about your condition, your race, and so on. Don't try to hide anything from me, as it could severely impact the end result. Souls are a very delicate thing, after all." 

Langara and Fatax were ecstatic to hear that. It went a lot smoother than they thought. Of course, they also understood that it had a lot to do with Rean's Fairy Essence Pearl.

Langara then said, "Thank you. Not only am I grateful, but I'll also owe the fairies a favor. This Fallen Light Fragment isn't near enough to express my gratitude in case I can be saved."

Thicket simply waved his hand as he put the fragment away. "Bring this girl and the guy to my place."

"Alright! I'll take them there." One of the faeries immediately accepted the task.

Following that, Thicket looked at Rean and Roan before he began to use the fairies' ability to see karma threads. "Seems like Sienna wasn't lying. There really is a connection between you two and one of our faeries here. That girl Langara can wait. Come with me. We will follow this thread to see which fairy it is."

Chapter 1075: Larks

The fairies' territory was quite big, so Rean and Roan had to walk for a long while as Thicket followed the thread. However, the further they went, the weirder Thicket's expression became. It was as if he didn't expect the results of his search.

Eventually, Rean and Roan stopped in front of a giant tree, which had an opening in it. This tree was really enormous, not losing to Celis's size back when he was in the Transition Realm at all. It was then that Rean and Roan heard Thicket murmuring, "That's quite unexpected..."

He then looked at the twins and told them, "Wait a minute. I need to ask permission for us to go inside."

The twins nodded in response as Thicket entered the tree's entrance. Rean and Roan had always kept their Divine Sense bending skill active. However, they weren't using it at full power, so anyone could penetrate it without noticing anything wrong. However, one must remember that this ability also allowed Rean and Roan to judge the other party's strength through the strength of the Divine Sense that hit it. That's how they could tell anyone's strength regardless of the difference in cultivation. In fact, the higher the cultivation, the easier it became for the twins to judge.

Sometime later, it was exactly this ability that made Rean and Roan's expressions change. That's because they felt an extremely strong Divine Sense coming from inside the giant tree. It was by far the strongest Divine Sense they had ever felt. Transition Realm Divine Senses couldn't even hold a candle to it. Obviously, that Divine Sense spread out towards them. It was analyzing the two closely. It then retreated as if it had never been there. 

Following that, Thicket came out of the giant tree and looked at the twins. He wasn't alone, though. A few other fairies, males and females, also accompanied him. Each one of them was surprisingly in the Elemental Transformation Realm or the Transition Realm.

Thicket then stopped by the twins before telling them, "She will see you now. However, I can't go with you. These fairies will guide you two inside. Make sure to not be disrespectful." Before Rean and Roan could ask anything, Thicket dashed back to his dwelling, where Langara was waiting for him.

One of the fairies then came to talk with the twins. It's just that she and the other fairies seemed to have a terrible expression on their faces. "I'm Sea Chillydove, responsible for the Fairy Queen's affairs in our Fairy Territory. I'll be guiding you inside. Come with me."

'Peak of the Transition Realm,' Rean and Roan thought as they nodded. As Sea had higher cultivation than Thicket, she was also slightly bigger. Most of the other fairies were also similar.

The insides of the tree looked even bigger than outside. Everything was colorfully decorated, making it as vibrant as the rest of the fairies' territory. It was obvious that fairies loved these kinds of lively environments. 

They were brought into a hall not too long after, where they immediately saw the biggest fairy they had seen so far. All the fairies until now were still a lot smaller than a human. However, that fairy in front of them was at least twice as big. Rean and Roan didn't need to think much to understand that this was the owner of that ridiculously strong Divine Sense.

Sea then introduced the fairy to the two, "This is the Fairy Queen of our Yukirrom Region, Rana Foggyswirls."

"Rana?" Rean and Roan's immediately remembered someone who had that name. However, the family name was different.

Rana then smiled at the two as she came down from her seat. "Oh, so it's you two, huh? I'm truly surprised by that. I had this karma thread with a connection stronger than any other person in the Realm of Gods. In fact, this connection is even stronger than the connections I have with my fairies here."

"Stronger than your fairies? That's indeed very hard to understand," Rean said in response. He then looked around before looking back at Rana, asking, "By the way, why do I feel like your fairy subordinates hate us?"

Rana couldn't help but laugh out loud in response. "Hahaha! That's because, for us fairies, karma connections mean a lot. It's truly important, you know? I'm the Fairy Queen, and they are my close subordinates and, at the same time, friends. However, you two have a stronger connection with me than they have. So yes, they don't like you very much."

Rana then looked at Sea and told her, "However, I won't allow you to do anything to them. Have I made myself clear?"

"Yes, Fairy Queen!" In the Fairy World of Yukirrom Region, Rana's orders were absolute.

After that, Rean and Roan said to Rana, "We have never seen you before. In fact, before we coincidently met Sienna in Cosec City, we didn't even know that fairies existed."

Rana nodded in agreement. "The same goes for me. I've never seen you two in my life. Well, this life, that is."

Rean and Roan obviously had made a connection between the karma thread and the fairy queen's name. The moment she said 'this life,' their conjecture became even more apparent. "What do you mean by 'this life?'"

Rana then explained, "Well, you see...Fairies are born from the Realm of Gods' Energy. However, their souls still need to be created through the use of Soul Energy. In the Realm of Gods, because of Divine Energy, there are times that one's connection to their previous life is kept. That also includes memories. For example, I do remember that my name was Rana. Unfortunately, it seems like I was way too young before I passed away, so that's as far as my memory goes." 

Rean couldn't help but sigh after hearing that. "I see... So this is where you ended up, little sister."

Rana was taken aback to hear that. "Little Sister?"

Roan confirmed. "Indeed, it can only be you. As you know, our names are Rean and Roan, and our family name is Larks."

"Larks..." As soon as that word came out, Rana seemed to recall some deep memories from the distant past. Memories from before she was born as a fairy, just like her name.

"Mom and dad, Harmalia and Turen..."

If there was any doubt before, now it was confirmed. Rean and Roan didn't tell anyone their parents' names, but the Fairy Queen remembered!

Chapter 1076: Shift in Time

Back at that time, Rana was nothing more than three and some years old. It made sense that she couldn't remember much about her past, especially since she rarely saw the twins. However, Harmalia and Turen were obviously always with her, so she could remember their names. 

Some tears began to stream down from Rana's eyes as she nodded. "Hehehe...when was the last time I cried? It was probably over two hundred years ago." She then looked at Rean and Roan and said, "You called me little sister, but you are, in fact, some descendants of my family, right?"

Rean and Roan were taken aback to hear that. "Over three hundred years?! That doesn't make sense..."

Rean wanted to talk more, but Roan stopped him. 'Look around. There are way too many eyes right now. Don't talk about the fact we came from the Mortal Realm just yet.'

Roan then looked at Rana before asking, "Can we have a private talk?"

Rana wiped the tears in her eyes and nodded. "Sure, sure...I always wanted to know what my previous life was like. These few memories will finally make some sense to me."

"But..." Sea wanted to stop them, afraid that something might happen to Hana. After all, Rana had been seriously injured recently. One must remember how she gave her blessing to Ludio of the Vistrue Clan.

"There is no need for you to worry," Rana told her, not allowing Sea to continue. "I'm not weak to the point that I would lose to some Soul Transformation Realm weaklings. Take everyone out as I want to talk with the descendants of my previous life's family."

Sea could only sigh in response and comply with the queen's orders. "Very well. Everyone, come with me." All the fairies then left the room after that.

"Now then, can you tell me more about the conditions of my previous life?" Rana asked after the others were gone.

Roan then glanced at Rean and nodded. Only then did Rean begin to talk about their previous life, including the fact that they came from the Mortal Realm. "Then, we met Sienna, who told us about the karma thread connecting you and us."

However, Rana narrowed her eyes when she heard that. "So you really are my brothers...weird...that doesn't make sense."

Roan knew what she was talking about. "Indeed. Two things don't match here. First is the time difference. Second, you died during the explosion of Sunkan Planet. Everyone did. Even if your soul was preserved, you should have been sent to the Underworld of the Mortal Realm."

Rean also understood from where they were coming. "I also think it to be strange. Rana said it herself. Because of Divine Energy, you might be able to preserve your memories from a past life. The Mortal Realm doesn't have Divine Energy, though."

One must not misunderstand. It's possible to reincarnate while keeping one's memories in the Mortal Realm. Back then, Rean and Roan were considered to be reincarnations when they were young due to their knowledge and behavior. However, it was completely different from Rana's case. That's because for one to keep their memories in the Mortal Realm, one had to have the necessary cultivation to seal the memories in one's mind. Obviously, Rana, who was only three years old back then, couldn't do such a thing.

Here in the Realm of Gods, due to Divine Energy, even someone without cultivation might get that privilege. Of course, it was extremely, extremely rare. It was already impressive that in a place as 'small' as Yukirrom Region, with just a few hundred trillion lives, someone like Rana had appeared. However, that didn't resolve the issue.

Rean continued, "If Divine Energy is the only thing capable of making you retain your memories without any cultivation, then you must have come to the Realm of Gods first. Or at least, your soul did."

Roan and Rana nodded, and Rana didn't doubt the twins. It went further than just trusting them. It was just that her connection with them through their karma thread made it easy for her to tell whether they were lying or not. In fact, even Rean and Roan could feel the same. There wasn't even a need to use Roan's abilities as a lie detector.

They couldn't help but wonder after that. "How exactly did Rana end in this place then?"

Naturally, the twins turned to Sister Orb. 'Do you know anything, Sister Orb?'

[Not really. However, as you know, the Soul Gem System only gives me access to information that it considers necessary for you to know. That said, I don't doubt that the system might have something to do with it.] Sister Orb explained.

The twins nodded in response. Such a thing happened a few times in the past, so they weren't surprised by it.

Roan then looked at Rana and told her, "There's also the second issue. Rean and I were much older than you back then. How come you're several hundred years older than us now? Let's not forget your cultivation as well. It's so high that I don't know what realm it's called."

It wasn't Rana who answered this one, though. [Oh, this part I can answer. When you were transferred to the Realm of Gods, you passed through the demon beasts' spacetime portal. However, that thing was pretty much in shambles, and Rean knows it very well. It's not surprising that a small shift in time happened during that time.]

Rean was even afraid to ask, but he decided to do so again. 'And why haven't you told us this?'

[First, as far as I know, there wasn't supposed to be anyone you know in the Realm of Gods. The same shift in time that happened for you happened for Qia, Calina, and everyone else that used that portal. So, for your bunch, it matters not whether it happened or not. You're still the same age as one another.] 

Rean and Roan had to admit that Sister Orb was right this time. If Calina and the others had the same shift, then it simply didn't matter. It's not like the Realm of Gods from a few hundred years ago would change anything for them as it was now.

[The second reason was that I wasn't certain if it had happened at all. Rana was the first proof I found that the shift took place. In any case, that's why.]

Chapter 1077: Division

Rana herself didn't take long to understand the reason either after Rean explained how the demon beasts' portal was faring. "I see...now it makes sense why I'm a lot older then. With that, the only issue is why I'm here since I died down there."

Rean and Roan couldn't help but feel a little weird, talking with their little sister that was much older than them now. No, could one even say that she's their little sister? There weren't many memories to start with, so it was hard to think she would be the same as she was now had Sunkan Planet not exploded.

Rana then thought about another thing. "There's a point I would like to mention. The chances of a person without any cultivation to reincarnate is extremely low, even when adding Divine Energy into the mix. Let's consider that I somehow really did get to the Realm of Gods before dying or that my soul was brought here before then. How come it was exactly me, someone involved with the two of you, who was reincarnated? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

Rean and Roan immediately thought about a possibility. 'The Yin and Yang intervention...'

Back then, Sister Orb told the twins that their long stay in a single place could balance the energies there. Their Varen Tribe just so happened to be the place they lived the longest in. Couldn't it somehow have interfered with Rana's soul as she was also born there? Obviously, they quickly asked Sister Orb about that.

[Hmm... I won't deny that it's a possibility. First of all, we considered that the system was the reason for Rana to arrive in the Divine Realm before reincarnating into a fairy, right? So, chances are pretty high on top of that.]

That also meant good news for the twins, though. 'In that case, couldn't mom and dad have reincarnated as well?' Unlike Rana, who just had a few memories because she was a kid back then, their parents would have their full set of memories. They would certainly be the same people as well.

[Maybe.] Sister Orb said in response. [However, you heard Rana. She's already several hundred years old. If your parents reincarnated around the same time, chances are that they already lived and died of old age. Don't forget that it isn't easy to surpass the Nascent Soul Realm. Anyways, just don't keep your hopes up too high since finding someone like your little sister is already a miracle in and out of itself.]

Rean nodded in response. 'It's fine. if the chance exists, then I'm more than satisfied with that already.'

Roan, on the other hand, didn't say anything. He wasn't the type to rely on small chances.

However, it was then that Rean thought about something. "Rana, we found you because of this white karma thread. Would you be able to see if you are connected by karma with someone else? Considering you did spend most of your time with mom and dad, your connection should be even brighter than ours."

Rana shook her head in response as she told him, "You're mistaken about one point. Before you arrived in the Yukirrom Region, our connection didn't even exist. To make things simple, karma threads also have a limit of distance. After all, they're also a type of energy. If mom and dad are still alive, then they're too far for me to tell."

"I see..." Rean would be lying if he said he wasn't disappointed. Nevertheless, he shook his head right after as he returned to his normal expression. "It's fine. I'm already very happy to see you again. As your brother, I wasn't able to do anything to save your life back then."

Rana smiled after hearing that. "Don't worry. From what you told me, it would be impossible for you to arrive back in the tribe to take us."

Rana then moved back to her seat after that. "Well then, let's not get too sentimental. It's as you said. We only had a small amount of contact back then. Besides, I have already lived hundreds of years in the Realm of Gods. In a certain way, you could say that we're almost the same as strangers."

Roan nodded immediately, saying, "That makes a lot more sense."

Rean didn't like that very much, but he had to admit Rana was right. "Well, your big, or perhaps small brother, feels sad to hear that. However, Roan and I don't have much time to stay around. We need to find our girls. The reason we came here was to see if we could find any clues to go to them."

Rana didn't mind it as she told them, "You said that you used a portal from the demon beasts, right? At first, it should have brought you to the demon beast side of the Realm of Gods."

Roan replied, "Exactly. That also brings up more questions someone with your power might know about. Where are we at the moment? Would this be considered the part of the Realm of Gods where humanoid races reign supreme or something like that?"

Rana nodded, responding, "Indeed. You could call it one of the sides. However, you must understand that as the Fairy Queen of the Yukirrom Region, I have never left this place. It's not that I can't, but I never had a reason to. With that being said, my knowledge is also somewhat limited. Well, it's at least better than the Royal Family's scope."

For Rean and Roan, that was already much better as they only had the Royal Family to rely on after this. 

Rana continued, "Well, each closed area has its own forces and races. The one we're in at the moment just so happens to have both humanoid and demon beast races living inside. They're quite well balanced if you ask from my point of view."

"Closed area?" Those words left the twins confused.

Rana smiled in response. "Exactly. The Realm of Gods, as far as I know, is separated into many closed areas. Or perhaps you want to call it closed continents. If you reach the limit of our closed continent, you will be forced to stop in front of the Realm of Gods' Division Barrier."

Chapter 1078: Huring Sacred Land

"Don't take my word for granted, though," Rana said soon after. "As I've said before, my knowledge isn't great as I have never left the Yukirrom Region. There might be different continents that aren't divided by the Divine Barrier. Perhaps you might find out that some continents aren't even on the same plane. You must always remember one thing. The Realm of Gods is never too weird that it can't get weirder."

Rean immediately took the chance to ask after that, "Then, do you perhaps know in which direction the continents governed by the demon beasts are located?"

Rana shook her head. "Sorry, my knowledge doesn't go that far. I do know that there are closed continents solely dominated by humanoid races, just like how there are continents solely dominated by demon beasts. Of course, there must be continents dominated by spiritual races like my own as well. Your girls most likely are on the demon beast continents, considering what you told me. In any case, that's all I can tell."

Roan wasn't surprised by that. If anything, he was satisfied that Rana knew that much and didn't try to hold anything back. "Then, do you know where we can find this kind of information, Rana? Also, if the continents are closed, how do we traverse to the other side?"

"I guess the answers for both questions are in the same place," Rana replied. 

"What do you mean?" Naturally, that caught Rean and Roan's attention. 

Rana then explained, "To be honest, I'm not sure myself how you can head to the other side. However, there's a good chance you can find the answer in the Huring Sacred Land." Of course, Rana understood that Rean and Roan didn't know what that place was. "First, let's talk about our own closed continent, the Huring Continent. It's located in a very desolate corner of the Realm of Gods, and that could be said to be the reason that no specific races dominate it."

Rana continued, "Now then, as you can probably imagine, all the closed areas have their own controlling powers. At least that's the case for the continents I know about. As for our Huring Continent, that is obviously the Huring Sacred Land I just mentioned."

"At the moment, we're in the Yukirrom Region, which has seven countries. The number of countries inside each region varies a lot as they vary in size. Nevertheless, the regions themselves don't change. The Huring Closed Continent has a total of 349 regions, Yukirrom being just one of them."

"The Huring Sacred Land controls the entire Closed Continent, but they rarely meddle with the regions' affairs. You can say that they're there to protect the Huring Continent itself and not some specific regions. If there's a place where you can find your answers, that place is the Huring Sacred Land."

Rean and Roan nodded after that. Soon, Rean asked, "And where is it located?"

"It isn't too hard to find. Just head to the center of our Huring Continent, and you'll eventually arrive in the ten regions separated exclusively for the Huring Sacred Land's use. From there, you can basically ask any high-level cultivator. They will be able to tell you where the Sacred Land itself is located," Rana answered.

Rean couldn't help but ask, "Errr...you're pretty strong, right? Would you mind bringing us there?"

"Why would I do that?" Rana asked in response.

Rean felt like crying after that. "Well, to give your brothers a little help, you know? Like a good little sister?"

Rana laughed in response. "Hahaha! I'm old enough to be your ancestor." Seeing Rean's sad expression, she finally calmed down. "Alright, I'm joking. I wanted to help you, but I'm not in the right condition to do so."

Roan said soon after. "The injuries, right?"

Only then did Rean remember the thing about Ludio helping Rana before.

Rana nodded before explaining, "Indeed. I received some damage to my Spirit Core, and it's far from healed. I won't be able to leave Erqs Forest for several years ahead."

Rean immediately asked, "How about I try to heal you? I'm quite good at that."

Rana smiled at Rean in response. "Are you talking about your Light Element healing abilities?" Soon after, she raised her hand, quickly gathering a huge amount of Light Element in a single go. Even Rean's ability paled to Rana at the moment. "We already have an enormous difference in cultivation. If I can't heal myself, do you think you can?"

Rean scratched the back of his head. Indeed, his healing abilities were limited depending on the difference in cultivation. It already took an eternity to heal Darian's bloodline loss. Let alone someone like Rana, who was far above the Black Tortoise in cultivation. Last but not least, Rana herself could use a lot more Light Element than Rean. Even if she didn't have a skill properly made for healing like his, just that amount of Light Element alone should have a greater effect. Rana wasn't able to heal herself with that, so Rean was even less likely to achieve anything.

Roan then added, "Well, we could do with one of your Transition Realm fairies. If they can bring us there, it would help us a lot."

Rana shook her head once again. "Sorry, but I truly can't allow any of my strongest fairies to leave anytime soon. The reason for my injuries was a dispute with the Fairy Queen of the Furueru Region." 

Roan found that strange to hear. "Weren't fairies a peaceful race? Or so I heard."

Rana nodded in response. "We are. However, that doesn't mean we won't fight back. In any case, this is the problem of my Yukirrom fairies, and I won't allow anyone who isn't a fairy to dip their feet into it. Just understand that I won't be able to help you much more than give information. But if you want my blessing so that you can carry a fairy with you, I can at least do that much. A low-level fairy like Sienna wouldn't be a problem for me. That fairy could improve your luck."

Chapter 1079: Will Become The Same

Rean and Roan didn't even need to think twice to reject the idea. "No, thanks." Having another member of their group to take care of would only add to their burden. Besides, they were connected to the Soul Gem System. 

Rana was surprised by their straight rejection, but she didn't insist. "Is that so?" Following that, she took out something that looked like a colorful crystal coin before passing it to the twins.

"What's this?" Obviously, they had never seen it before.

"It's called a Glittering Coin. Keep it to yourselves and use it when you reach the Sacred Land. One of my fairies is part of the Huring Sacred Land. This coin will tell her that it was I that sent you. She doesn't have much influence there, but she can still be of some help to you," Rana explained.

Rean couldn't help but ask after hearing that, "A fairy being part of the Huring Sacred Land? I thought you guys kept your distance from the affairs of the demon beasts and humanoid races."

Rana nodded as she said in response, "That's true. That's usually the case. However, it doesn't mean we all do that. It's not like I imprison my fairies in this place, you know? Anyways, her name is Tulipa, and she's a Minor Elder. Just use her as your background once you get there. You won't be able to get any information if you are an outsider, so you will have to find a way to join the Huring Sacred Land. Tulipa can definitely help you with that."

The twins already expected as much. It would be weird if anyone could simply head there and get any information they wanted. "Alright, we'll follow your instructions."

Rana was satisfied with their words. "Good! Although we don't have much of a relationship with each other, you're still kind of half my brothers, I guess? It would feel bad if I didn't give you at least this much help."

"Won't you consider traveling with us to look for mom and dad as well?" In the end, Rean would prefer to have Rana with them. Not because of her strength, but because he still thought about her as his sister. The difference in age and race simply didn't matter to him.

Rana smiled, understanding Rean's feelings. However, unlike Harmalia and Turen, she really didn't have much of an attachment to the twins. "Sorry, but no can do. I have my own responsibilities here." Before Rean could insist, Rana continued, "Now then, this is all I can do for you. I'll have one of my fairies bring you back to your friends."

Roan glanced at Rean, expecting that reaction. "Enough with that. It's not like we can return if we find our parents in the future. Besides, we need to find out what happened to Calina and the others."

Rean sighed but nodded in the end. "Very well." He then looked back at Rana. "We'll come back, okay?"

Rana didn't mind. "Sure, as long as you don't bring any trouble with you."

Rana then called Sea back and asked her to bring Rean's group to where Langara and Fatax were staying. "Come with me." Obviously, she still had a dark expression when seeing the twins.

Rean and Roan didn't care about it and simply followed her. Sometime later, they arrived at Thicket's residence. "Your companions are inside there. Once you're done, just ask Thicket to show you the exit. With that, I'm leaving." Sure enough, she left as quickly as she could.

Thicket's residence wasn't much different from the rest. It was also inside a big tree, colorful as all the others. Inside, a much smaller male fairy, still in his Energy Gathering Realm, welcomed the twins. "Oh, you two are the twins my master talked about, yeah? Come with me. He's treating your friend right now."

After some time, the twins arrived in the chamber where Thicket was working. Fatax was waiting in the corner, while in the middle, many lights could be seen floating around Thicket and Langara. While Thicket was obviously awake, Langara seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber. 

Rean's eyes lit up when he analyzed the situation with his Divine Sense and Soul Power Scan. "Oh-ho... So that's how it's done, huh?"

Fatax, who didn't know what was happening, couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what he's doing?"

Rean looked at Fatax and smiled. "More or less. It seems like the fairies' souls themselves have some healing properties. Perhaps that's because they're beings born from the energy of the Realm of Gods, so they're compatible with any other soul. In any case, Thicket is slowly revitalizing Langara's soul. It seems like Langara was right about the fairies. Even I can't do such a thing."

"Then, will she recover?" Fatax asked with expectation in his eyes. 

Unfortunately, Rean shook his head. "I can't say for sure. The root cause hasn't been resolved yet. Once Langara heads out, she will once again start being consumed by the bodies' souls. Thicket is able to heal her soul, but it's not like he can make her recover her lost power."

Thicket heard Rean's words even though he was working. "It seems like your understanding about the soul isn't too shabby. However, I said I would fix the problem, and so I will. The revitalizing part of this process is necessary before I start working on Eminia's soul."

"Working on Eminia's soul?" Fatax, Rean, and Roan were puzzled. "Wasn't Eminia's soul just fine?"

However, Thicket looked at them puzzled as well. "I told Langara and Eminia what would need to be done. Didn't they tell you what would happen?"

Fatax immediately shook his head. As for Rean and Roan, they obviously didn't know anything as they were elsewhere.

"It seems like Langara and Eminia didn't say anything," Thicket sighed after seeing their reactions. "For this to work, I will need to merge their souls completely. Only then will Langara not be rejected by Eminia's body and soul anymore. After all, the two will become the same person."

Chapter 1080: Merge...

"Merge souls?" Rean was surprised to hear that.

"But...is that even possible? First of all, even if it is, that means Langara and Eminia wouldn't be the same person anymore. It wouldn't be wrong to call them a different person altogether."

Fatax nodded in agreement as he wanted to stop Thicket. "Yes, you can't do that! What will happen to my sister? I can't let you kill her like that!"

Thicket didn't stop his work as he explained, "Kill her? She'll be very much alive if that's what you're wondering. It's just that she would be both your sister and your matriarch, I guess? In any case, this deal was made between Langara and me. You have no right to intervene here. After all, I made it very clear to both Langara and Eminia what would happen during the process. The two women decided that it was what they wanted."

"This..." Fatax knew his sister, so he knew she would definitely accept such a thing. Langara didn't have much choice either, as anyone could tell that she had reached her limit. 

Roan was a lot more logical, though. "Langara didn't want to take someone's body for herself, and your sister didn't want your matriarch to die either. You should respect their decision here."

Fatax wanted to rebuke, but he didn't have an answer for that. If he said anything, it would be about his own wishes, not theirs. 

Rean then looked at Thicket and asked, "Still, is it even possible? I mean, it goes beyond the scope of just revitalizing the soul."

Thicket agreed with Rean, saying, "You're correct. If it was any other situation, it wouldn't be possible. However, these two can become one. Simply put, their souls are very similar. You could say that this is a trait of Langara's race. Because Eminia has a very pure bloodline, she isn't much further away from being a full member of Langara's race either. Last but not least, they both accepted this fate completely. If one of them had as much as a single doubt on what was going to happen, it wouldn't work at all. Fortunately, that isn't the case."

Seeing Fatax's terrible expression, Thicket added, "Hey, it's not like your sister's memories will disappear. They will all be there. Rean asked if they could even be considered the same person. But let me ask you, why couldn't they be since they have both memories?"

Fatax still didn't like it but nodded in the end. "I know my sister. If that's what she wants, then so be it."

Rean then asked something else, "Since Langara... or Eminia will keep their memories, isn't there a risk of multiple personalities?"

Thicket shook his head as he answered, "The answer is the same. Both have accepted to become one. Once the process is over, the acceptance of memories will guarantee that such a thing won't happen. You could say that both memories will understand that they aren't two different people, but the same new one."

Thicket then looked at the fairy that brought Rean and Roan into the chamber. "Newt, I'm almost done with the revitalizing process. Bring our guests outside as I can't be bothered when the fusion process starts."

"Yes, Master!" Newt then brought Rean's group to a room where they could wait for the outcome.

Several hours passed in a flash. Soon, a day went by, then two, three...if not because Rean wanted to know where to find more of the Fallen Light Star Fragment, he and Roan would have left already. It's not like they had some deep connection with Langara anyway.

Finally, on the fifth day, Thicket appeared once again...followed by Langara, or Eminia, or whoever she was now. 

Fatax was the first one to come forward to ask. "Si-sister, are you still there?"

Suddenly, tears began to fall from her eyes as she shot herself into Fatax's embrace. "Brother! I-I..."

Fatax was taken aback. This was definitely his emotional sister. But then again, Matriarch Langara would never act like that. Could it be that the memories of his sister were dictating this new girl's emotions?

However, Rean found it strange. He then touched Langara's shoulder and used his Light Element and Divine Soul Power to feel her soul. "Weird...I can feel the energies from both Eminia and Langara's souls. However, how come it looks a lot more like Eminia's soul after the merge?"

Fatax was surprised to hear that and quickly looked at his sister's body. "What does Rean mean by that? Should I call you Eminia? Langara? Or maybe some other name?" 

Langara tried to wipe her tears and was just about to say something when Thicket intervened. "This is definitely Eminia. Langara is no more."

"What?!" Rean and Fatax were taken aback, while Roan didn't even bother to pay attention. Roan didn't really care about which one she was. Well, Rean wasn't much different. He was more interested in why Langara disappeared, considering they should have become one. It was just purely his curiosity. Fatax was the only one really concerned with their well-being. "Why did that happen?"

Eminia's expression became melancholic as she explained, "It was Matriach Langara...when Senior Thicket started our fusion, Matriarch Langara didn't let the merge happen. Instead, she woke us two up and told me that she was giving me everything."

That was a really surprising outcome. Langara didn't seem to want to die here as far as Rean's group could tell. 

Eminia continued, "She said she had lived long enough, so there was no need for her to stay much longer. Although she wanted to deal with the Clan Head, she understood that the best way to do that was for her to disappear. That way, no one would find out about her race, nor would the Clan Head obtain the chance to get her soul to achieve his plans any further."

Eminia couldn't hold back and began to cry even louder. "Th-then, she said that above everything else, she couldn't bring herself to make my soul turn into something else. With Thicket's skills in soul merging, she was able to transfer all her memories to me while I kept my sentience as Eminia."

Rean understood after that. It was completely different from how Langara's soul was being consumed. Using that method, it wasn't possible to pass one experience and memories to the other. But with Thicket's help, she was able to do that. 

Chapter 1081: We are Leaving

Fatax would be lying if he said he wasn't happy that Eminia continued to be herself. Nevertheless, it wasn't a very good thing for him to hear that the Matriarch was gone. "What would we tell back in the clan once we're back?" One must remember that only half of their clan was against the Matriarch. The other half supported her.

"There's no need," Eminia replied. She now had all of Langara's memories. Of course, she knew how to separate them from her own. "Don't forget that Matriarch also left a Soul Flame behind. Now that she's gone, the Soul Flame is definitely extinguished. Whether the Clan Head accepts it or not won't matter. He won't be able to deny the truth."

Eminia was right. At this very moment, back in the Talan Clan, the entire place was in an uproar! News that the Matriarch Langara's Soul Flame was extinguished quickly spread. Naturally, the Clan Head heard about it. "That can't be..."

Rean and Roan knew about the Soul Flame. It was a method to tell whether someone was alive or not. Back in the Zasfins' planet, the important members of the Zasfin Race also used the same method.

"I see..." Fatax nodded after hearing that.

Rean then raised his hand, telling Eminia, "Well, since that was your Matriarch's decision, then I won't say anything. However, we still have our deal." After that, Rean used Divine Sense to talk with Eminia. After all, the fairies would definitely want those fragments as well. 'It's time for you to tell me where I can find the Fallen Light Star Fragments.'

Eminia understood and immediately checked the memories left behind by Langara. Not too long after, she replied to Rean, 'It's located in a place called the Lost Star Realm.'

'Lost Star Realm?' Rean obviously had never heard about it. 'So, where can we find it?'

Eminia then took a deep breath to calm down and explained, 'It's located to the west of our Huring Closed Continent, the Lanqueas Continent. To be more specific, its entrance can be found in the Trimazo Region, inside Galanmord Country. It's not a Dimensional Realm, though.'

'Is that so?' Rean asked, 'But where exactly in Galanmord Realm?'

Eminia replied, 'You'll be able to find it easily. That's because the Lost Star Realm is open for everyone willing to risk their lives inside. Simply put, it's a famous place where many cultivators and demon beasts frequently visit, looking for treasures. Matriarch Langara found this Fallen Light Star Fragment there... and that's also the place that forced her to start a clan in our Huring Closed Continent.'

Rean was confused by her words. 'What do you mean by that?'

'I have to tell you that Matriarch Langara was very powerful in her prime. Transition Realm cultivators could be killed with a single flick of her fingers. Yet surprisingly, she got seriously injured there. I'll be sincere, Rean, Roan. I'd rather hope you don't go into that place. Chances are that you will die there,' Eminia warned them with a concerned expression. Rean and Roan had helped her and her brother a lot, so she didn't want anything to happen to them.

Rean and Roan looked at each other before nodding back at Eminia. 'We'll see in the future. It's still not guaranteed that we will go there. Besides, it seems like you also know about the Closed Continents. That already helps out a lot.'

Eminia nodded before she turned to Thicket. "Senior Thicket, thank you very much for the help you gave us. It didn't go as I expected at first, but it still resolved our immediate issues."

Thicket didn't seem to mind it. "It's fine." Soon after, he took the Fallen Light Star Fragment out. "I only helped you because of this little baby here. I have no use for it anymore. However, my disciple definitely does."

Newt, who was listening in on the conversation, couldn't help but become surprised. "Master, thank you!"

Thicket smiled in response before saying, "It's still too early to thank me. You're still a young fairy in the Energy Gathering Realm. You have many years of training before you can make use of this item. Until then, I shall keep it by my side."

"Yes, Master!"

Rean and Roan then asked Fatax and Eminia, "So, what will you do now? We are sorry but...we won't be traveling with you anymore. Do you want us to bring you to the next city first before we separate?"

However, it was then that Fatax thought about something else. "Wait! If Matriarch Langara gave everything to you, couldn't you be used for the same purpose? What if the Clan Head forces you to go into the others' body to have your soul eaten away?"

Eminia shook her head in response. "I received everything from Matriarch, but I'm still not someone from her race. It's not wrong that I'm very close to being what she was due to my bloodline and her sacrifice. Unfortunately, only a true member of the Vitri Race like Matriarch Langara could use the method of transferring her soul into her descendants. Besides...the others aren't my descendants. It wouldn't work anyway."

Fatax sighed in relief before he looked at Rean and Roan. "In that case, we will take you up on your offer. It would be quite risky to leave Erqs Forest without your help."

Thicket then took the chance to ask, "Since you've all decided what to do, then you don't need me anymore, right? In that case, just leave my residence. I still have a lot of things to do."

Roan remembered something, though. "The Fairy Queen said that you're on bad terms with another Fairy Race. Can you tell us more about that?"

Thicket immediately shook his head. "No can do. You will need an order from the Fairy Queen first before I can say anything. If I were you, I wouldn't get into this. Problems between fairies must always be resolved by us. We don't like it when others try to meddle into it." 

The twins nodded after that. It seemed like they really couldn't do much for Rana now. Well, considering Rana's cultivation, they couldn't do much either way.

Rean then looked at their group after that. "In that case, Fatax, Eminia, Roan, we're leaving."

Chapter 1082: Advice

Rean then called Rascal out, who was brimming with energy. The guy had been treated quite well during the time they stayed in the fairies' territory. In fact, it even felt somewhat unwilling to leave.

Rean just smiled after seeing that. "Everyone, get on Rascal."

Roan, Fatax, and Eminia quickly jumped on the Demon Bird before Rean asked it to take flight. Not too long after, Rean used Sienna's Fairy Essence Pearl to pass through the barrier once again.

Back in the tree at the center of the fairies' territory, Rana looked at them with her Divine Sense. In the end, she sighed while thinking, 'Sigh...to think that such a thing was possible. Then again, how come I couldn't control their karma threads? There seemed to be something blocking my ability to touch them at all. Could it be that their luck can't be manipulated?'

Rana had offered Rean and Roan her blessing so that she could have one of her faeries follow them. However, she was lying about that fairy being able to increase their luck. She just wanted someone to report to her how the twins were doing. 'Well, something tells me that this wouldn't be the last time I'll see them.' Rana then stopped using her Divine Sense once Rean's group got too far away.

While Rean was flying over the Erqs Forest, he took the chance to ask Eminia something else. "Now that Langara gave you everything, including her last powers, does that mean you're the most talented member of your clan?"

Eminia, who still had a sad expression, wasn't sure about that. "Now that you said it, I'm not sure. From what I can see through the Matriarch's memories, it was the devouring process that increased the hosts' talents. However, Thicket's skill was far from letting a soul eat another. For example, there was no pain involved."

Fatax couldn't help but ask, "Do you guys have an Aptitude Measuring Orb with you?"

Roan had to admit he was also curious, so he quickly took one out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "Here you go."

Eminia caught it and was just about to try when Rean asked something else. "Wait! What was your aptitude color before? I want to compare."

Eminia nodded before responding, "I wasn't anything impressive. My Aptitude Color was just yellow. As the Matriarch told you before, someone with a purer bloodline doesn't mean they would have higher talent. I'm...well, at least I'm a prime example of that. I don't know if it has changed, so I need to check."

Fatax, Rean, and Roan then looked at Eminia's attempt. The orb then shone for a moment before the surface color finally began to change. Not long after, a deep purple color was reflected in their eyes.

"Wow!" Rean couldn't help but feel impressed. "No wonder your Clan Head wanted your Matriarch's soul so much! You went straight from a Yellow Color Talent to a Purple Color Talent. That's the highest aptitude there is."

Fatax and Eminia were also left speechless by that sight. They did expect a good increase in talent, perhaps going up to green or blue, and, if lucky, red. But to head straight to purple, and a very deep color at that, that was something that far surpassed their expectations.

Roan then warned the two. "I don't know if it's a good idea for you two to head back to your clan. Is there anyone with similar talent to yours back there?"

Eminia quickly shook her head. "Not as far as the Matriarch's memories go. We have two Red Color Talents, both on the Clan Head's side. These two were also the ones the Clan Head intended to use the Matriarch's soul on most likely."

Roan nodded after hearing that. "Then, you have even more of a reason to not go there. Change your appearances or go somewhere far away. If you head back and they find your new aptitude, considering you're part of the opposition's power, the Clan Head might try to get rid of you first."

Rean agreed with Roan. "The ice block is right. He obviously knows that it was the two of you who were involved with Langara. With that being said, he would need to be an idiot to not think about testing your aptitudes once you're back. Now that your side of the clan lost the Matriarch, it's an even more dangerous moment for you to go back." 

Fatax and Eminia looked at each other. "But...we have never lived outside of the clan before."

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "There's a first time for everything. Come on! You're both in the Soul Transformation Realm already. You're also adults on top of that! I refuse to believe you can't take care of yourselves. Anyway, that's just an idea. If you still want to go back, Roan and I won't stop you."

Fatax pondered over it as Eminia was clearly not very happy with that option. "Are you worried about our parents?"

Eminia nodded in response. "Wouldn't they be impacted by what happened?"

Roan then added, "This is another reason for you to disappear. Since Langara died, they might think you died as well. Or could it be you also have Soul Flames left in the clan?"

Fatax and Eminia shook their heads. "Our cultivations are too low. Creating a Soul Flame for us was not worth the cost."

"Then it will be most likely fine." Roan continued, "If you disappear just like Langara did, they can only think you're all dead. The Realm of Gods is too big. Just head somewhere else. One day, once you're strong enough, you can come back to check on them."

Rean smiled at them. "That's true. Besides, if you go back, you would put them in a lot more danger as they might be used to control Eminia. You should really take Roan's advice."

Fatax looked at Eminia, who nodded in the end. "Alright, thank you for letting us know. We will leave for the time being."

Fatax patted Eminia's head after that, telling her, "Then, we need to find a good place to go. We can check for one once we arrive in the city."

Chapter 1083: A Message

Naturally, the twins would head back to the Lukimira Sect first so that they could get Kentucky. They more or less decided to take the same route back and stop at the nearest city from Erqs Forest to leave Fatax and Eminia there. "Well then, I wish you two good luck. Remember, try to change your appearance to something else before leaving the Kamos Kingdom. It will give you the best chances in the future."

Fatax and Eminia immediately nodded in response as Eminia thanked the two. "We understand. Rean, Roan, thank you for your help."

Roan just nodded while Rean laughed. "Hahaha! I have to thank you as well. This journey was a lot more interesting because of the two of you. Besides, the information regarding the Fallen Light Star Fragments was very important."

Eminia pondered in silence for a bit before taking out a jade slip from her spatial ring. Following that, she used her Divine Sense to save some information inside. "Here, take this. I have poured Matriarch Langara's memories from the time she visited that deadly place. Chances are most of the places have changed now, but it might still be of some use for you."

Rean quickly took the jade slip as he flashed a smile at Eminia. "Great! Any help is more than welcome. Now then, goodbye!"

With that, the group bade their farewells before Rean and Roan took flight with Rascal once again. As for Fatax and Eminia, who knows what they would do from now on...

On their way back, Roan asked Rean to change their route slightly. "Last time, we avoided Werlin City since we were in a hurry to reach Erqs Forest. This time, try to stop there."

Rean knew from where Roan was coming from. "It's the biggest city on our way back to Lukimira, right? Surely they should have a Royal Office there where we can use our tokens."

Roan nodded in response. "You already have an idea on where to get Light Element materials for your breakthrough to the Elemental Transformation Realm. However, I have no idea where to find Dark Element materials. I guess it's normal for it to be hard as these elements aren't part of the mainstream elements."

Rean didn't mind and asked Rascal to change his flight direction slightly. Just like that, they made their way to Werlin City during the next few weeks. Of course, they kept cultivating and stopping at demon beast territories to train. Naturally, that wasn't all, as Roan didn't want to fight only demon beasts. With that, they often intervened in some cultivators' affairs. As one could imagine, robbery was the main affair. These fights for the sake of training ended up delaying their trip to Werlin by at least four days, not that the twins were in a hurry anyway.

As for cultivation, they could still feel the Divine Energy reaching them through their connection with Celis and Kentucky. Those two weren't holding back at all. Rean and Roan could tell that it wouldn't take more than a few more weeks before they reached the Late Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. It had been only five months and something since the last breakthrough. If it was back in the Mortal Realm, several years still wouldn't be enough for them to achieve something like that.

Eventually, the twins sighted Werlin City's walls in the distance. "Sure enough, it's even bigger." Rean immediately noticed that Werlin City's walls were ridiculously high compared to the 'small' cities like Cosec. Not to mention that the walls spanned even further.

"Since Cosec already has hundreds of millions of humanoid residents, like humans, perhaps this city has over a billion?" Rean wondered. Because of how high and long the walls were, Rean and Roan could see it from much further away. Obviously, they could already see many cultivators, caravans, as well as flying and terrestrial-tamed demon beasts entering and exiting from it. 

Fortunately, they didn't need to queue in front of the many gates of the city. Since they were part of the Beast Tamer Guild, they could enter for free and through the skies since they had a flying demon beast. Well, they stopped on the top of the wall to ask the guards there where the Demon Beast Taming Guild Branch of Werlin City was located first.

After leaving Rascal to be taken care of by the guild members, Rean and Roan made their way out of the city before heading to the Royal Office. Their Royal Family Token made everything much easier as well. 

As they were at the entrance of the Office, the Royal Family Office in Werlin City was definitely worthy of its name. There were huge queues with thousands of people waiting for their turn to reach the counters. As for counters alone, there were definitely a few hundreds of them.

However, the twins didn't enter any of the queues. Since they had Fabio's token, they might as well make use of it. After showing the token to one of the guards there, they were immediately brought to a private room, not having to wait even a second before being attended. "Welcome to Werlin's Royal Office, esteemed friends. I'm the vice manager of this branch, Ricao Sidixa. As you have the Royal Family Token, you have priority here. However, would you mind letting me check the token first? This is all part of our security measures."

Rean nodded after hearing that. "No problem at all," Rean replied as he passed the token to Ricao.

Ricao then put the token on something that looked like a formation, which activated straight away. Seeing that, Ricao nodded in satisfaction as he told them, "It's genuine. Thank you for your patience, friends." It was then that he noticed something else. "Oh! It seems like there is a message for you as well."

"A message?" Rean and Roan asked.

Ricao quickly took a jade slip and put it on the formation. A stream of energy entered it right after before Ricao retrieved it. "Here you go. Only those whose the message is destined to are allowed to check it, so I don't know what's inside." 

Rean and Roan didn't need to think much to know that it was Fabio who had left it to be delivered. "Since Fabio didn't use the Thoughts Transmission Talisman he left with us, it shouldn't be anything urgent."
