Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 2292 Then It Is Decided

Sure enough, it only took Rean a few minutes to locate the members outside who had the token. Be it during missions, travels, or simply lazing around, every single one of them was pulled by a spatial power straight to the sect. While they were all confused about how they got there, the sect also released the news. A big announcement would be made in the sect's main square, and everyone must participate.

That obviously made those who were pulled by Rean understand that it was the sect that did it. It's just that they didn't know cultivators had this kind of power.

As Mia prepared to talk to everyone, things also got more or less settled back in the Sasamil Empire. With Old Worm's sudden appearance and some tears from a certain duo of prince and princess, he got everything under control.

"Then everything is arranged. I'll be going back to the Realm of Gods. However, I will leave a way for you to contact me if necessary. Just be aware that you must not use it unless extremely necessary," Old Worm explained. "Don't worry. Even the ancestors of the other four powers in the world will not cause trouble to the Sasamil Empire. I've already talked to them. They will not intervene unless their own empires are at a real risk."

Finally, he allowed the others to talk. "Now, if you have anything to say, just do it now. Once I'm gone, there is a good chance we won't see each other anymore. Not that I won't come back, but that you will all be dead due to your smaller lifespans."

Yulian bitterly smiled but didn't say anything. He could already imagine what the top elders of the Sasamil Would ask. However, he also knew Old Worm's answer.

Sure enough, the elders at the Elemental Transformation Realm didn't lose their chance. "Ancestor! Please, bring us with you to the Realm of Gods!"

"Yes! We wish to follow you!" New chaptᴇrs are published on novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

"We can't lose such a chance!"

Although Sasamil Empire had only one Transition Realm back in Old Worm's time, Old Worm himself, Elemental Transformation was different. They had quite a few of them. It's just that entering the Transition Realm in the Mortal Realm was too hard, so there hasn't been another one in their Imperial Family so far.

Yet, Old Worm immediately refused. "Out of question. If you leave, then our Sasamil Empire is done for." It was one thing to bring a small sect like the Dalamu Sect or an even small village like the Varen Tribe away. However, the Imperial Family didn't just control a small part of a country. Instead, it controlled the entire continent. Each of these experts was absolutely necessary to keep the order.

"But-"

"Enough!" Old Worm didn't want to hear anymore. "If you truly wish to go to the Realm of Gods, then cultivate and reach the highest level. Once you surpass it, the Realm of Gods will forcefully send you up."

Yulian saw how disappointed the elders looked. Everything happened exactly as he thought it would. To be fair, even Yulian himself wanted to go to the Realm of Gods. However, with Old Worm's retirement, he would become the next ancestor of the Sasamil Empire once he passed the mantle of the Sasamil Emperor or Empress to someone else.

However, it would also cause these elders to wonder if it was worth continuing to work for the Sasamil Empire. That said, he already had discussed a plan with Old Worm once he refused everyone. "Ahem... Ancestor, asking us to cultivate to the highest Realm of the Mortal Realm and even surpass it is a little too much, no? Even you weren't able to do that."

Old Worm, already expecting Yulian to follow his refusal, asked back. "From the looks of it, you have something in mind." Well, he already knew what it was since he had discussed it with Yulian before the meeting. He was just keeping the pretense.

Yulian nodded. "Yes. Although it is ridiculously difficult to reach the 'T' Realm, it is not impossible." Yulian obviously knew about the backlash of uttering the name of the Transition Realm and above, so he just used that T Realm instead. "However, from what you told us, surpassing the 'T' Realm in the Mortal Realm is literally impossible. Doesn't it need the so-called Divine Energy you mentioned?"

Old Worm nodded. "True. Divine Energy is necessary if you want to surpass that Realm. Now, stop wasting my time and tell me what you want."

Yulian smiled and continued. "Since that's the case, how about ancestor make a concession? Let's see... if any of us manage to reach the Peak Stage of the 'T' Realm, you will personally bring this person up. Does it sound fair?"

Those words immediately reinvigorated all the elders. Not only then, even the young ones in the meeting who were confident in their talents became interested. If, and by the time they reached such a level, the Ancestor, Old Worm, would still be alive, and they would have a way to contact him. Let alone the elders who were already in the Elemental Transformation Realm.

Old Worm smiled. He, more than anyone else, knew how difficult it was to reach the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm in the Mortal Realm. He was sure one would appear someday, but that would take a long time. From his point of view, none of the Elemental Transformation Realm elders in the Empire seemed to have what it takes to enter the Transition Realm, let alone reach the Peak Stage. Nonetheless, that would guarantee that the elders of the Sasamil Family would dedicate themselves to the Empire until the very end. That was the plan he and Yulian came up with once they had to announce Jakiro's journey.

"Very well," Old Worm conceded. "I have some connection with one of the Sector Lords' Clan of our own Sector in the Realm of Gods. I'm sure if I pay the price, he could bring at least one person back to the Realm of Gods with him on that day. However, it has to be the Peak Stage of the 'T' Realm. Anything below that will not be accepted."

Everyone immediately bowed to Old Worm in reverence. "Thank you, ancestor!"

Old Worm nodded, not caring too much about the scene. "Then it is decided."
