Chapter 2021 Vruve Again
Rean found it strange that Luman got such a reaction. "Your race? The Lakures? I've seen them before. Is that something to be surprised about?"
The point was not that, though. The fact was that Rean and Roan didn't know that Lakures were supposed to only exist in Sunkan Planet. Rean only mentioned the Lakure name because he thought it was just one of the thousands of different humanoid races in the Realm of Gods.
Luman, on the other hand, knew that there shouldn't have been others in the Realm of Gods, only Sunkan Planet. But before he said anything, he called one of his attendants. "Take little Abelha away. Her mother will be paying us a visit soon."
"Yes, Uncle Luman." Abelha could only follow the guy, even though she wanted to hear more of what was happening. Too bad she had no right of choice there.
Finally, Luman looked at Rean, Roan, and Kentucky. "You are definitely not old enough to have seen the time when the Lakures still lived in the Realm of Gods. That means you must have come from Sunkan Planet."
Obviously, Rean and the others' attention was picked. They now knew that their Planet was called Sunkan, thanks to their father. For Luman to say that it is obvious that he knew about Sunkan too. "Could it be that sir also came from Sunkan?"
"As I thought..." Luman showed a pensive expression. "To think that there were living beings capable of ascending from Sunkan. It seems like I did a good choice in picking that Planet. Hahaha!"
Kentucky looked away as Rean suddenly showed a bitter smile. Only Roan's expression continued as cold as ever, although he understood Rean and Kentucky's feelings.
Naturally, Luman noticed that as well. "What is it? You did come from Sunkan, didn't you? Or could it be that something happened to my Lakure Race there?"
Rean sighed in response and decided it was better to simply tell the truth. "Sunkan Planet is no more. We are some of the few survivors that escaped the explosion. Also, your Lakure Race wasn't having the best time there either."
"What?!" Luman was obviously shocked by what he heard. "Exploded?! A Planet?!"
Rean then told him everything he knew. How when they were young, they ended up inside the Natural Formation that the Lakures used to reemerge after being sealed away. But above all, he told Luman how the Planet was attacked, and almost no one escaped that place.
"It can't be..." Luman didn't know what to say. Yet, there didn't seem to be a reason for Rean and Roan to be lying about that. "Then... they are all dead?"
"We are not sure," Roan added. "During our journey in the Realm of Gods, we found a few people from Sunkan in different places. However, they were all reincarnations." Roan told him about the few encounters they had. "People who regained their memories after being reborn in the Realm of Gods. Perhaps there are some of your Lakure Race members in the Realm of Gods as well. It's just that they would have reincarnated as some other race."
That didn't make Luman any happier. "I sent them there so that my Lakure Race would have a chance to revive. Not only were they sealed away, but when they finally managed to come out, the Planet was attacked. Wait! Could it be that the Planet was attacked because I sent them there? But how did they find out?"
Rean couldn't help but ask. "They? Who are they? Do you know who attacked the Planet?" Obviously, Rean didn't tell Luman that it was the Vruve Organization that attacked the Planet. It seemed like Luman had his own enemies, and they were strong enough to descend into the Mortal Realm.
Luman looked at the twins and Kentucky. "It doesn't matter. There is nothing you can do, nor can I. All I can do now is cultivate to reach the Divinity Realm before exacting my revenge."
The twins knew that Divinity was the highest realm in this half side of the Universe, just like the Devils had the Elder Devils and the Angels had the Archangels. These were all names for the same cultivation stage. "How long has sir been cultivating here? Or better, what was sir's cultivation level when you first arrived in this place? Also, why was your race being pursued to the point you had to bring them to the Mortal Realm?"
Luman narrowed his eyes. "Instead of me answering your questions, you should answer mine. Escaping a Planet that was about to explode isn't something someone from the Mortal Realm can do at will. Sunkan Planet definitely didn't have the necessary knowledge of formations to create a teleport formation capable of bringing you away. How did you escape that Planet?"
"Wrong," Rean immediately came up with an excuse. "Sunkan didn't have the necessary knowledge of formation during the time sir was there. However, it did have by the time it was attacked. Just how long do you think it has been since you left your race in Sunkan? We used one of those formations to escape to another Planet."
"This..." Luman had to admit it made sense. It had been thousands of years even before he entered the Swamp of No Return. Way too many things could have happened during that time.
It was then that Kentucky noticed something. "Oh! Sir Luman, you knew the time in this Swamp passed much faster, didn't you? Could it be you entered it not only to look for the Swamp's secret but because it would give you time to cultivate faster than those outside? Especially faster than the enemies who were pursuing your race."
Luman looked at Kentucky in surprise. "You are quite a smart bird. Yes, I didn't intend to get stuck here, but I did want to use the Swamp's warped time in my favor."
Roan took the chance to ask back. "We did do our own investigation after ascending to the Realm of Gods. There aren't many powers capable of going down to the Mortal Realm. One, in particular, caught our attention, the Vruve Organization."
Immediately, Luman's face turned dark. "What do you know about them?"
It was pretty obvious that the enemy Luman was talking about was the same Rean and Roan knew about. "We believe it was them who attacked the Planet."
