Death… And Me

Chapter 2262 Serious Talk

"How can that be? I've seen how the Vruve Organization Destroyed our Planet. I barely had time to save Mia. How can you guys be alive? I saw everyone that survived the explosion as well, and you were not there." Old Worm found it hard to believe Rean and Roan were really in front of him.

"The same goes for us, Old Worm," said Roan. "You were just an alchemist in the Dalamu Sect. There is no way someone at that level could have survived the explosion of the planet. Even more impressive is the fact you are already in the Void Tempering Realm Late Stage."

Old Worm shook his head. "Back then, I was hiding my cultivation. In fact, I wasn't even part of the Dalamu Sect, although I had lived there for a few hundred years. I was a Peak Stage Transition Realm expert at that time already."

Roan nodded. "I guessed as much. There would be no other explanation for your survival if not that. In that case, it makes sense that you reached the Late Stage of the Void Tempering Realm after all these years. So... would you mind explaining how you ended here? If you were not really a member of the Dalamu Sect back then, who were you?"

Old Worm narrowed his eyes. "And what about you? I'm sure you were not within the groups that escaped the planet at the last moment. How did you survive?"

Rean and Kentucky didn't say anything. It was Roan's decision to speak or not.

Roan pondered for a moment and finally started. "We were teleported away from the planet before it was destroyed. After that, we arrived at a Planet ruled by a race called Zasfin. After many ups and downs, we found a formation capable of teleporting us to the Realm of Gods. Naturally, we used it. That's why we are here."

"You teleported to another world? Sunkan Planet didn't have any teleport formations capable of teleporting someone out of the planet. How did you do that?" Old Worm asked, confused.

Yet, Roan shook his head. "It is better to say that you didn't know the planet had such a thing, not that it didn't." Since the Soul Gem System was there, then the planet had it. Roan didn't lie but didn't tell the whole truth either.

Old Worm could tell that Roan was omitting some information. Nonetheless, everyone had their secrets, and it wasn't his place to reveal them. Besides, it was pretty obvious just how much stronger Roan had become after these hundreds of years. "I see... Then, let me ask you a serious question. At least this much, I wish you not to lie to me. Did you have anything to do with the destruction of the planet?"

As mentioned back then, Old Worm learned that the Sasamil Empire would go through a calamity in the future. It was then divined that the salvation of the Sasamil Empire could be found somewhere around the territory of the Dalamu Sect. It's just that no one knew how or who would make that possible. That's why Old Worm moved into the Dalamu Sect and lived there. Only Mia, who was the Dalamu Sect Master, and Zuan, the only Saint Realm cultivator of the sect, knew about Old Worm's real identity.

When Rean and Roan appeared, Old Worm didn't pay much attention. But as they progressed through the ranks, he began to wonder whether Rean and Roan would be the reason for that. The twins were just too strange. Rean was capable of creating a communication system that caused an uproar worldwide. While Roan was a strategist that far surpassed any of his own Sasamil Empire Generals. Let alone their ridiculously high talent and odd elemental affinities.

However, the planet ended up being destroyed in the end. It was then that Old Worm understood that his Sasamil Empire Calamity wasn't just his Sasamil Empire but the entire world. His Sasamil Empire just happened to be part of it.

With the planet's explosion, he believed Rean and Roan died with it. Since that was the case, it was obvious that Rean and Roan weren't the keys to saving his empire or the planet... or so he thought. However, lo and behold, here are Rean and Roan right in front of him.

Not only that, they said they had a way to teleport out of the planet before it was destroyed, something that none of the Transition Realm Experts of the planet could do. In that case, couldn't it be that Rean and Roan were really the keys to save everyone? Or, to be more specific, couldn't they be the reason?

Old Worm couldn't help but think that if Rean and Roan were not there, perhaps those experts that destroyed the planet wouldn't have even come. In the end, the twins might have really been the key. However, it wasn't that they would help save the Sasamil Empire and the planet. Instead, their death was the path necessary to avoid the calamity.

Roan closed his eyes for a moment, and before long, he nodded. "Yes. The guys who attacked the planet were trying to give us no chance to escape, so they instantly destroyed the planet." Roan didn't mince words and told the hard truth.

"I see..." Old Worm looked to the skies as he remembered everything. "Did you know about it?"

Roan shook his head this time. "No. We didn't even know that such strong experts knew about our existence. When they appeared, we were alerted in a matter of seconds. We used those same seconds to teleport away while carrying those we could. Nonetheless, the truth is that we were the reason for the planet's destruction even though it wasn't our fault."

Old Worm then went into silence. He had much to think about now that he found the reason. Yet, it wasn't like he could do much. The planet wouldn't just reappear out of nowhere even if he decided to take revenge here. Well, Old Worm was very old and knew what the thirst for revenge could cause since he was the one who locked the Lakures underground. "Sigh..."
