Death… And Me

Chapter 2956 She Agrees

2956  She Agrees

'Different plane...' Rean had heard about a similar situation before. 'It is similar to the Loporrits planet, don't you think?'

Roan nodded. 'On the surface, it does indeed. However, is this difference between planes the same one as the Loporrits' Planet situation? I feel like it isn't the same. I think you know why, right?'

Rean was taken aback for a moment and thought about it. Finally, he understood the reason without having to hear it from Roan. 'The plane separation of the Loporrits' Planet was still a Universe Confined event. However, the Werldlem Empire's separation of planes was something that enveloped all of its controlled Universes.'

'Exactly,' Roan confirmed. 'The Loporrits' Planet was still inside the Lisan Universe, after all. That separated plane was still a part of Lisan.'

'That makes things a lot more complicated,' Rean sighed. 'Even if we suddenly get back to the Peak Stage of the Divinity Realm, would we be able to leave the plane of the Werdlem Empire?'

'That's something for us to think about later,' Roan commented.

Foliana didn't know about the twins' conversation and continued her story. 'Ever since then, all external danger disappeared. Inside this plane, the Werdlem Imperial Family has a full grasp of the cultivation energies of all Universes... or so the databases say.'

Rean nodded and then asked something else. 'Alright, I understand the situation. Tell me, what do you know about the other universes of the Werdlem Empire?'

'Not much, really,' Foliana shook her head. 'You should have noticed it already, the network of the Werdlem Empire has countless different layers. Someone like me is at the very bottom of it and can't have access to much information from outside. All that I know is which Universes are close to ours, that's almost all.'

Foliana then took a deep breath and stopped. 'So, did I help you somehow?'

'Of course!' Rean nodded, satisfied. They could find more information once their cultivations rise. 'Now we have an idea of the general situation. Thank you, lady Foliana.'

Foliana smiled brightly. 'That's great. It always makes my day to be able to speak about history. By the way, why would you be interested in such a topic? This is just a completely different league from people like us. Nothing we will ever do in our lives will have any impact in the great scale of things Universe-related.'

Little did Foliana know how wrong her words were today... and the fact she would be also related to these changes in the future.

Rean laughed in response. 'Hahaha! Of course, because Obelix and I were curious. I mean, you managed to get one of the ten spots to make a wish to the queen. No doubt history is a very important thing, contrary to what most people think. There is no harm in knowing more. Besides, who knows? Perhaps one day, we will be able to leave this Universe. Never say never.'

Foliana laughed as well. 'Hahaha! If I get in a position where I can travel between Universes one day, I will spend the rest of my life learning about the various Universes' histories. There is just so much to learn that I can't help but get enthusiastic. Well, I know who I am and what I'm capable of. I won't hold onto this much. For now, I will content myself to learn more about our country, planet, and my Family.'

'Oh, that's right,' Rean remembered Foliana's wish to the queen. 'You said something about looking for information regarding your family or something like that, right? Did you find anything?'

Foliana shook her head. 'I barely started to read the records. Even if I could absorb all at once with Spiritual Sense, it would still take a very long time to sort through everything in my mind. Well, the more I can study, the happier I am, so I'm not complaining. I know I will eventually find what I'm looking for in there. It is just a question of time.'

'Can I help somehow?' Rean offered, much to Roan's displeasure. Rean ignored his grunt, though.

Foliana pondered a bit and nodded. 'Well, it doesn't hurt speaking about it. I will talk about something I already knew before making the agreement with the Royal Family, so it doesn't count toward the secrecy request from them.'

She then spoke with a serious expression. 'The Nasfivil Family could be said to have founded this country.'

'Oh?!' Rean got interested. 'I heard how the next royal family is decided every one thousand years. Were they the first ones to hold this place?'

'Not exactly,' Foliana shook her head. 'Back then, this place was not claimed under the Werdlem Empire banners. You see, even though this Universe is part of the Universes controlled by the Werdlem Empire, it is still a Universe. How ridiculously big is it? It took a very long time before the Werdlem Forces arrived here and added it to the Werdlem Empire's network.'

Rean and Roan nodded. Even back in Lisan, there were bound to be many planets in isolated systems that never got in contact with outside life. This one just so happened to be one of such similar planets a while ago.

'To be more precise, it has been only twenty thousand years since the Werdlem Empire arrived,' Foliana continued. 'Before that, my Nasfivil Family were the ones controlling this country. At least, that's what is described in the old records of my family. As you can imagine, we have fallen a lot since that time.'

'That's to be expected,' Roan finally made a comment. 'I hardly expect them to have put much of a fight against such an opponent.'

'And so do I,' Foliana nodded. 'Don't worry, though. I'm not interested in revenge, reclaiming what was lost, or any bullshit like that. However, in the records left behind to rot in my family's state, there was a mention of an inheritance that could only be claimed by those with our bloodline.'

Rean smiled. 'It is pretty obvious you don't have much talent, but you have intelligence and you love history. Let me guess, you want that inheritance so you might cultivate further and live longer to learn even more about history.'

Foliana was taken aback for a moment. 'You... are very good at reading people, you know?'

'Thanks for the compliment,' Rean liked that.

'It's kinda creepy,' Foliana concluded.

'See? She has known you for less than a day, and she already agrees with me,' Roan added.

Rean's mouth twitched as he answered Roan only. 'Just go fuck yourself.'
