Chapter 684 - Clad's Decision

Rean and Roan couldn't help but feel like their bodies were off. It was as if a second copy of them appeared out of nowhere. However, it wasn't a clone or anything, just the Nascent Soul. It was part of them, and not at the same time.

'Sister Orb, does that mean we're ready to breakthrough?' Rean asked as he examined the Soul Core inside his Dantian. He felt like he could make his Nascent Soul break out of its shell anytime he wanted.

Sister Orb confirmed, responding, [Yes. However, I would rather wait than doing it now.]

Roan agreed with her words, saying, 'Sister Orb's right. This isn't the right time to make our breakthrough. If everyone sees that I've achieved the Nascent Soul Realm, the Zasfins guarding this place will become restless. After all, my cultivation is improving too quickly.'Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.

Rean understood where Roan was coming from, asking in response, 'You want to wait until Sister Orb finishes taking control over the Bloodline Trial Control Formations, right?'

[Exactly. You two can have your breakthroughs at the same time and then come out of the Dimensional Realm to take the kids. While you do that, I'll mess with the Bloodline Trial Control Formations and make everything blow apart as you planned with the Soul Stone Formations, Rean. The system for that is just way too complex. It'll take many years before they can create a new one.]

Rean couldn't help but ask, 'What about the Hafel Clan? Once we disappear, it'll become obvious that we were the ones responsible for it. Wouldn't they be punished, maybe even get wiped out because of us?' The Hafel Clan tried to help the humans, so Rean didn't feel like it was right to condemn them.

Roan snorted as he couldn't care less. 'Hmph! So what? They tried to relieve the humans suffering here, but they never tried to save anyone. That's just hypocrisy. Besides, their faction won't just stand by and simply let themselves be destroyed. After all, they are well-versed in the formations of the Soul Rulers. They'll need their help to rebuild everything. That being said, they won't be wiped out as you think.'

Roan then warned Rean, 'Remember, we're already swamped as we are. We can't take care of everything in this world.'

Rean sighed but nodded in the end. 'I was being too naive, sorry. Let's follow the plan.'

He then asked something else, 'Sister Orb, how long until you finish taking control over all the formations?'

Sister Orb checked the current progress before answering, [One month at most. Perhaps I'll be ready in three weeks.]

'Understood.' Rean already knew what to do. 'In that case, I'll take Clad back into the Dimensional Realm once I see him again. His group should surface in the next few days as always.'

Clad then took a deep breath before saying, 'I didn't expect that you and your brother would let me go. Also, I understand the risks of staying behind even if I don't know what you two want to do. However, being part of the Soul Rulers is exactly what my Imperial Family Branch needs to escape doom, so I want to take the risk.'

One must remember that Clad only joined in this journey to save his family. That was his main objective above anything else.

Rean didn't mind, saying, 'I'll have the full antidote of your poison delivered once our plan starts. Thanks for your help so far.'

Rean then kept walking around as if he hadn't talked with anyone whatsoever.

He quickly went back to his room and was just about to work on a few formation runes when out of nowhere, a robotic voice he and Roan haven't heard in a very long time echoed in their minds.
