Chapter 480: 480
Xue Wei frowned . He had understood that being a Rulebreaker meant that one was not supposed to exist . Lan had spent over ten thousand years waiting for a Rulebreaker to appear, but it was simply impossible to know if, or when, they would appear .
Many worlds existed, but Rulebreakers were simply as difficult to find as a specific water drop in the sea .
Also, Lan had decided to become the owner of this world, and he had never planned on leaving it, so the chances of finding a Rulebreaker were even smaller .
A Rulebreaker did not have to be a person of mixed breed; it could also become someone who was born normal but somehow managed to break the rules during their lifetime . However, such a scenario was so unlikely that it was simply impossible .
Xue Wei was deep in thought, pondering about his options and what it meant being the Rulebreaker .
He understood many things now . Since Lan was the owner of the world, he could sense everything that happened on it, and he could control the world with but a mere thought .
He knew of Xue Wei’s background and history from the very beginning, but he never told him anything .
But it was also now that Xue Wei understood that previously Lan had treated him solely as a tool, but now, he was willing to tell him the truth and began treating him as a friend .
Xue Wei nodded his head, "What price do I have to pay to open the Ghost Realm?" he asked, and Lan looked a little sheepish .
"I don’t know," he said with a solemn expression . "Rulebreakers are hard to find, so actual knowledge about them is also difficult to locate . That is also why I have been observing you ever since I found you . "
Xue Wei nodded his head . What Lan said made sense . "So, we need to open the Ghost Realm, but we do not know how, or what the price for doing so is?"
Lan shook his head . "We could figure it out after a bit of time," he said . "But I imagine that this war might be a chance for us to solve the problem . "
Xue Wei frowned and looked at Lan . "Because of the number of people who die?" he asked, and Lan nodded his head . "Every time someone dies, the Ghost Realm will open up and swallow their soul . If there was a large battle with many deaths, then I would expect that we would be able tear open the entrance and slip in alongside the many dead souls . "
Xue Wei nodded his head . "Will we be able to bring our friends along?" Xue Wei asked as he looked at Hei Gou, Lin Xiao, Luoluo, and Bai Tianyi .
Lan shook his head and looked apologetic . "I don’t know," he said . "I have no previous experience with Rulebreakers, or entering the Ghost Realm, so I don’t know what is possible and what isn’t . "
Xue Wei nodded his head as he looked at his friends . He was eager to enter the Ghost Realm to meet his parents again, but he was not willing to leave his friends behind .
"Don’t worry," Bai Tianyi said with a shrug of his shoulders . "We will enter if we can, and if we can’t, then we will keep training ourselves here in the Xiyang Continent . "
Xue Wei knew Bai Tianyi well . He was not just saying it to reassure Xue Wei; he truly meant that they would be fine without him .
Xue Wei was not depressed by hearing his words . He also knew that they had been together for years now, and that they might have grown too dependent on one another . Spending some time apart from each other might actually help them progress .
But it was still unsure if they could enter or not . They were not even aware about what was required to enter the Ghost Realm; it was simply too complicated .
"Don’t think more about it now," Lan said with a sigh . "I just wanted to tell you about it, as I finally began understanding that you are more than just the Rule Breaker, more than just a tool for me to get Li Zhiqing back . "
Xue Wei nodded his head and smiled . He was quite happy that he had managed to show his sincerity with his actions, but he also knew that Lan was not unreasonable .
Lin Xiao, Luoluo, Bai Tianyi, and Hei Gou were slightly upset when they heard Lan’s words . They knew that Lan had not been treating Xue Wei well, but they thought that he had at least treated him as a friend .
Now it seemed that he had seen him as a tool, and they felt indignant, but they also knew that he had now changed his opinion on him, so their unpleasant feelings were left with nowhere to vent .
Not to mention that this person was a Deity, a person whom they could never defeat, so even if he had caused them to become unhappy, they could never tell him about it .
Lan could easily see their feelings of displeasure, but also them trying to keep it in, instead of speaking them out loud, and mirth rippled through his eyes .
He knew that these people were truly genuine towards Xue Wei . They were his true friends, and he could not help but feel slightly jealous .
Although he was a deity, he was not surrounded by good friends who were willing to get angry at a deity for him .
He smiled slightly, but then he thought about how Xue Wei had considered him a friend, and he thought that maybe he was not completely alone .
Xue Wei seemed to sense that he was feeling melancholic, and he looked at him with a smile on his face .
"You are also a part of our group now," he said, and his words stumped both Lan as well as the others .
