Chapter 2268 Postpone Investigation

Suddenly, Rean stopped with the Divine Sense messages and began to laugh. "Hahahaha! I see, I see! That's very nice of you, friend Eagon. Alright, those are very good conditions, and we are definitely accepting it." Rean then patted Eagon's shoulder several times. "Forget about what your daughter did. She is young, so mistakes are normal. From now on, you can consider us friends of your Jikli Clan. If you need something in the future, you just let us know."

Roan also nodded, not showing a calm expression. "I could feel your sincerity. In that case, this matter is settled."

Kentucky just yawned, not feeling in the mood to do the same.

The two elders behind Eagon were taken aback. What could suddenly change Rean and Roan's minds that fast? 'Eagon, what did you offer them? You better be careful with what you can and can't use from the clan.'

Poor Eagon was quite perplexed himself. He didn't ask Rean and Roan to do that at all, so their behavior took him by surprise. Of course, he also understood that it was for his sake but mainly for their own. "Ahem... Of course, you can count on me, friends. The fact you are even willing to be friends of our clan is even better."

He also answered the elders behind. 'I told you this is my problem, didn't I? There is no need for you two to worry. I have not offered anything from the clan to them. It's something I have in my possession. As for what it is, I agreed with them to not talk about it. In any case, this resolves all our problems.'

The two elders narrowed their eyes. However, they heard how Rean and Roan even want to be on friendly terms with their clan. One must remember that even the Jikli Clan's Patriarch was also in the Elemental Space Realm Late Stage, just one stage Rean, Roan, and Kentucky. Getting on their good side was something very good for their clan, so a probable calamity immediately changed into good fortune. 'Since that's the case, we won't say anything else. Just remember that whatever happens after this will be your responsibility.'

Eagon nodded. 'As it should be.'

Rean, Roan, and Kentuck then prepared to leave. "Alright, Eagon. We will be leaving now. We will also bring Mia and Jakiro with us if you don't mind. Don't worry. You still have their contracts, so it is not like we can steal them from you. We will contact you later."

Jakiro sighed in relief. He obviously was part of that negotiation, so he knew what was decided.

Eagon obviously had no objections. "But of course! Please come to see me when you finish your business. We will talk more at that time." He then looked at Old Worm. "Jakiro, go fetch your disciple. You can go with them."

"Yes, Senior Eagon." Old Worm nodded and quickly entered the clan.

Eagon also bid farewell to the twins and entered the clan's main buildings' territory again, followed by the two other elders. Only the twins and Kentucky were left behind, waiting for Old Worm to come back.

Rean's smile disappeared. He turned his attention to Roan and Kentucky while also adding Luan and Sister Orb to the conversation inside the Dimensional Realm. 'What do you think?'

Roan closed his eyes to think a bit. 'We noticed how the conditions of our planet's destruction were weird due to the number of reincarnated people we found in the Realm of Gods. Eagon's words just confirmed that something happened after it got destroyed. Sister Orb, was it something related to the system?'

[I don't know,] Sister Orb answered. [Like I said, I don't have access to the system itself. What it decides can only be known by itself, like the rewards, abilities, and things like that. At most, I can give some help, like when we guided the system to create the time acceleration ability. However, I would say the chances are very high. After all, what could cause this kind of change if not the system itself?]

'That means we might get some reaction from the system once we go back to the place where the planet was destroyed,' Luan mentioned.

Roan nodded. 'However, we need to be careful. Eagon isn't a saint or anything like that. You can see it by how he forced Old Worm to do some shady work during his time here.'

'Do you think he knows what to expect and what he could get by investigating the place where our planet is located?' Kentucky asked Roan.

However, Roan shook his head. 'I can't guarantee, but I find it very unlikely. It is better to say that he is expecting to find some treasure or perhaps some kind of power that will help him somehow. If I were to guess, it is most likely related to his cultivation. Don't forget that we are very fortunate with everything we have at our disposal. Others have to go through painful paths and might never get to the Space-Time Realm. In the end, for cultivators like Eagon, reaching the Space-Time Realm before their lifespan is over is the ultimate goal.'

Only at the Space-Time Realm can one really call themselves immortal. Before that, lifespan was a shadow in every high-level cultivator's heart. First, get to the Space-Time Realm. Everything else, repercussions, blame, shame, or whatever, can be considered later.

Rean shrugged his shoulder and sat on the ground. 'Well, so be it. I don't think he is a threat to us. Besides, no one will be able to connect us to our real identities. After all, who would believe we went from the Space Bending Realm to the Peak Stage of the Elemental Space in such a short time? At least we are covered on that front.'

Roan agreed with Rean. 'That is correct, but don't drop your guard.'

As they waited for Old Worm to come back, Kentucky couldn't help but ask. 'Then... Does that mean we will postpone our investigation into the Continental Barriers?'
