Chapter 2873: Lineage
Some time passed since the Universe had been merged back together. The consequences of the collapse of space and time could still be felt, and many cities still had much to be fixed except for the Realm of Gods. Nonetheless, with control over the communication system, the Semi-Celestials managed to get everything on track again.
The twins didn't know, but the Garisan Reinforcements were only two years away now. It didn't matter, though. With the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm moving a hundred times faster than normal time, they had plenty of time to train.
During this time, Sister Orb had to increase the space allocated to the experts coming from outside. The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm now had thousands of times more experts from outside than its own residents. Millions could be seen cultivating all around. If not because many of these experts had other tasks to take care of, none of them would ever come out of the Dimensional Realm.
At this moment, Soul Gem was in the Circuitry Formation Repository with other Formations Masters from the System Sect in the Dimensional Realm. "Aha! I told you it would work!" Soul Gem stuffed his chest with pride.
Droman and Vigs looked at the results of the simulation and felt quite impressed. "To think that redirecting the information through the blurring runes could truly fool the processing unit of the armors. How did you even come up with that method?"
Soul Gem smiled. "I don't know if it will work since this is just a simulation, but the idea was that the processing unit would be overwhelmed by the incoherent information and miss some of it. If it truly works, we can bypass the DNA bound of the armors and allow our cultivators to use it."
Droman quickly pulled out one of the armors from Garisan. "Shall we give it a try?"
"Hey, how can you make breakthroughs without me?" Suddenly, Rean appeared in the room, although no one was surprised by that.
Droman, Rean's Master, faintly smiled while shrugging. "As if even Roan's training could keep your attention away from the Formations Masters Hall."
"True! Hahaha!" Rean didn't deny he had been observing nonstop as Droman and Soul Gem's group worked.
*Zush!*
Yet, Roan also appeared there a second later. "Can you fuck stop running away from the training?!"
Rean glanced back at him. "We have been at it for well over a fucking hundred years! I need some rest! Let Kentucky and Celis rest as well, will you? It is not about our bodies anymore. Our minds will break down instead!"
"Fine," Roan didn't complain and instantly disappeared from the room.
"Fine?" Rean was the one surprised in the end. "Did he just say fine?"
Droman and Soul Gem nodded, just as puzzled. "Since when was he so compliant?"
Rean closed his eyes and felt the entire Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. He found Roan in an instant. Yet, his vision of the location he had gone to only lasted a fraction of a second before it darkened. Nonetheless, he was able to see something at the last moment. "Oh! So that's what it is about."
"Rean!" A voice came from outside the Circuitry Formation Repository. Right after, a woman entered in a hurry. It was Qia, his wife.
Seeing Qia there, Droman and Soul Gem understood. Calina was definitely in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, too. No doubt Roan left to see her. "Do you want to watch the test still? We can do it another time."
"Test?!" Qia's eyes lit up, and she rushed to Rean's side. "What test? What kind of formation are you working on?!"
Rean scratched the back of his head. "How come you are more interested in the formation than your husband, who you hadn't seen for many years."
"It's many years for you," Qia didn't think like that, though. "I was outside, so my time wasn't passing a hundred times faster. For me, we met each other just six months ago."
"Well, that's true..." Rean sighed but had to admit she was right. "By the way, where is Fay?"
"Probably with her boyfriend," Qia answered while paying more attention to the armor in front of her.
"Boy...Boyfriend?" Rean's mouth twitched. How come his daughter got a boyfriend without him knowing? "Who is the guy with a death wish?"
*Pah!*
Qia looked back at him. "Don't bring Roan into this conversation."
"That's not what I meant!" Rean wanted to cry.
"No?" Qia didn't expect that. "Every time you speak about death, it is always Roan. Since when has it changed?"
"Forget the piece of cold ice!" Rean had no right to complain. He was usually the one who did the Death-Roan jokes. "I'm talking about the idiot who dares to touch my daughter! First of all, wasn't Fay completely focused on Formations? She never cared about relationships before!"
"This is life," Qia wasn't as concerned. "One day you think you don't need anyone, the next you find out some idiot from somewhere else that you end up falling in love with. Oh, by the way, I'm talking about you and me, and the idiot is you."
*psht...*
Everyone around had to hold their hands against their mouths to not burst into laughter. There weren't many people that could treat Rean like that in this Universe anymore.
Rean tried to ignore everyone and insisted on the previous topic. "I'm done here. I'll go out and find Fay myself."
*Ouch, ouch, ouch...*
Too bad, though. Qia instantly grabbed Rean's ears and pulled him back. "Don't you dare cause trouble for her! Rean, you and I are several hundred years old. If we count this fucking time acceleration formation, then you and I have already surpassed the thousands of years
mark."
She then grabbed Rean's face and pulled close before speaking with a serious expression. "If you get in the way between me and my future grandchildren, I will castrate you!"
'Grand... Grandchildren?' Rean felt a chill on his back as those words echoed in his mind. Qia didn't care, though. "I, WANT, GRANDCHILDREN!"
