Death… And Me

Chapter 3082  I'll Be Back

Laiana's expression turned awful. 'I would rather not talk about that.'

"Fair enough..." Rean's roundabout method didn't work very well. "So, what do you intend to do now, senior?"

'Nothing,' Laiana calmed down. 'I have been slumbering for way too long to the point my cultivation has fallen to such a state. Showing any signs that I got free would be nothing but suicide in the Werdlem Empire Bubble. I still stay here for the foreseeable future, recovering my energies.'

Rean nodded. "Seems like we are on the same boat. I, too, am trying to recover my cultivation and get out of the Werdlem Empire Bubble. I didn't have any intention to come here in the first place. Well then, senior. Your Bloodline Essence is bound to help my friend over there, so I guess we are even. If there isn't anything else, I will make my way back. Oh, right. I hope you don't mind if my friend keeps your Bloodline Essence."

Laiana pondered a bit, wondering if she should actually just kill Rean and Yuan to prevent any news from escaping. However, she wasn't an ungrateful being, so she struggled for a bit. Not to mention someone like Rean, who could move around as he pleases, might be of some help to her in the future. 'Fine, you can go,' She reached her decision. 'I will teleport you back to the end of one of my tentacles. You can simply go up from there and return to the surface. As for the Bloodline Essence your friend absorbed, that isn't of much importance to me, considering the size of my body. The amount he took can't even be considered a drop in the ocean to the total. I will recover that in no time.'

Rean didn't forget to ask something even more important, though. "Right! Before I go, does Senior know how to leave the Werdlem Empire Bubble? As I said, I ended up here against my own will, so I'm not too sure about how to get out."

Laiana pondered a bit. 'That is hard to say. You would probably need the power of a High God Realm Expert at the very least.'

"High God Realm?!" Rean felt his blood go cold. "Sure there is something else I can do, right? All I did in my life was the Peak of the Divinity Realm. I haven't even managed to get to the Celestial Realm, let alone the God Realm. No, you said High God? I didn't even know that one existed. First of all, I know nothing about the God Realm and above."

Laiana then looked in a certain direction and closed her eyes for a moment, finally, she opened again. 'I can't feel the outside at all. The Werdlem Empire Bubble is still incredibly strong. Well, that's partially because of me.' The Charybdis Queen thought to herself before shaking her head. She didn't tell Rean any of that.

She then returned her attention to Rean. 'With the Bubble in this state, the High God Realm is the least you will need. Listen, there is no point talking about the High God Realm to someone who never made it to the Celestial Realm in the first place. Truly, just what kind of desolate corner of the Great Void have you been living so far? I can't believe someone who reached the Peak Stage of the Divinity Realm didn't even know about High Gods. Anyway... didn't you say you ended here against your will? Can't you use the same method to leave?'

Rean shook his head and began to explain about the things that happened for him to end in this place. "So, this guy called Hex was right there when my brother and I woke up. We truly thought we had died that day."

Laiana seemed to have understood something. 'Are you perhaps a Universe Owner?'

Rean opened his eyes wide. "You know about it? It seems like my brother and I are indeed such a thing."

Laiana began to see Rean with other eyes. 'So you are a Universe Owner. In that case, you might be able to call upon your own Universe's power to help you escape this Bubble.'

"Really?!" Rean grew excited. "How do I do that? No, wait! Won't you ask me more about this Universe Owner thing?"

Laiana shook her head. 'There is no need. You aren't the first one, nor will you be the last Universe Owner I met. If I wanted to become a Universe Owner in the past, I could have done that myself, too. Well, it is impossible in the Werdlem Empire Bubble, though.'

Rean quickly came up with a deal. "How about I use whatever this method is to also bring you out? That way, it serves as payment for the information of how to do it."

'There is no need,' Laiana didn't seem willing to leave the Werdlem Empire Bubble, though. 'They dared to lock me out, so how could I possibly leave without payback? I will leave this bubble, but it will only be after I get even with them. Their cultivation energies grasp has is useless against me, and now that you got me out of the prison, I definitely won't be sealed that easily again.' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She still told Rean what she knew, though. 'Anyway, I will tell you the method, but you will be owing me one in the future. How does that sound?'

Rean accepted it. "As long as your future request doesn't go against my principles, I see no problem helping you. In fact, I would help even if I didn't owe you anything, just like I did with Uruavis. Still... what could someone as weak as me could possibly do for someone like you? I don't see it."

'That is for me to decide,' Laiana had her reasons. 'Don't worry, though. I won't ask you anything outrageous... I think.'

"You think?" Rean didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Alright, alright. We will see when that time comes. So, how do I do that?"

'You will need to be able to manipulate the Celestials Laws. Through them, you can make a connection between you and your own Universe. It is through that connection that you will call upon your Universe's Power to open a gap in the Werdlem Empire's Bubble,' Laiana explained.

Rean's excitement died down. "So I still need to reach the Celestial Realm at the very least..."

'Indeed,' Laiana didn't deny that. 'Once you do, you can come back to me if you haven't managed to connect to your Universe on your own. But until then, there isn't much I can do for you.'

Rean could only go with it. "That's fine. I had a feeling it wouldn't be that easy. Besides, it is not like your idea is the only one available. There is still time to investigate more in the future. In any case, I guess this is all I need for now. Can we go out?" Laiana nodded. 'I will teleport you to the place where my underlings recover their energy. Let me know when you want to leave.' She wasn't worried of Rean doing anything. With his cultivation, he simply had no power against her. Of course, she would keep her Divine Sense over Rean nonstop.

Rean then remembered something again. "Oh, right! The Heavenly Marine Jades. Senior, can you get us a few of them?" 'Heavenly Marine Jade?' Laiana had no idea what Rean was talking about. 'What is that?'
