Death... and me

Rean wasn't concerned about Kentucky since he could take care of himself. After all, his strength was equivalent to a cultivator at the Initial or Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. Those who could pose a danger to him in Wringan Continent were few and far between.

With that done, Rean then returned to his duties as a teacher during the mornings in the Blacksmith Hall. Qia was doing the same thing but in the Formation Hall. During the afternoon, Rean, Qia, and the best Formation Masters of the sect worked on the Circuitry Formation. While Qia and Rean dealt with high-level and complicated tasks, the others would work on simple ones.

Obviously, Rean had the Blacksmith Disciples work on the cables since wireless communication at such low distances was unnecessary. In fact, Freedom City was also receiving a connection with the sect through wires. Back in Dalamu Sect, Majorias City was connected to it by cables, and it was 300 kilometers away. If those two were connected, let alone Freedom Sect and Freedom City, which was less than 100 kilometers apart.

During the nighttime, Rean, Roan, and Celis would spend their time cultivating. Well, Celis was cultivating all day long nonstop, but when the twins joined in to cultivate, things became a lot faster. Also, Celis's roots had finished spreading to the limit of what Celis's cultivation allowed. With that said, the Spiritual Energy that was blowing from the top of Freedom Mountain was already equivalent to Rank Three Spirit Stones, just like their last home. Celis absorbed all the Spiritual Energy from faraway areas and concentrated it on the island.

Of course, they weren't the only ones. The sect members also worked on building the sect during the day and cultivated during the night. With the extra Spiritual Energy and especially the Yang Energy given by the Parasol Tree Totem, their cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.

And just like that, another two weeks went by before Rean, Roan, and everyone else received another piece of news from Phex. Of course, Phex sent someone to tell them instead of coming himself. As soon as the demon beast saw Rean's group, he passed the message, saying, "Phex asked me to come and tell you that the last few batches of humans from the Zasfin continents should arrive today. We used quite a few of our Stage Seven Demon Beasts to go around the Zasfin Cities to make sure no humans were left behind as well."

Roan nodded, already expecting as much. "Alright. I'm sure the Zasfins have kept a lot of humans hidden from the Soul Rulers. In fact, even the Soul Rulers most likely hid a few for themselves for when they finish rebuilding the Bloodline Trial Control Formation. Nevertheless, that's a very small number considering the total number of humans who came."

Fizer agreed with Roan, saying, "That's true. We can't do anything about the ones left behind, which are probably those who were already locked down as sacrifices from the very start. But what we can do is try and protect the ones who are here right now."

Rean sighed and nodded in the end. "Too bad we can't help those last few ones, but we know that their souls are locked down by the formations. Even if we took those people by force, they would die due to the backlash anyway."

Rean quickly shook his head and put those thoughts behind. "Alright, no point thinking on what we can't help. The important thing is that the Zasfins are about to finish bringing the humans to Wringan. That's already more than we could expect."

The demon beast then added something else. "Phex also mentioned that the plan regarding the Bestial Sacred Grounds is proceeding as planned. It should really take around a year before Celis, Kentucky, Gulan, and Red can enter it with their cultivations."

Julia, who was also there, couldn't help but ask, "What is this thing about?"

Fizer patted her shoulder in response as he replied, "I'll explain this to you later. In any case, it has nothing to do with us."

Julia narrowed her eyes but accepted Fizer's words in the end.

The demon beast then departed straight away after delivering the message, leaving the group behind. "Alright, let everyone get back to our tasks. There isn't anything else we can do at the moment."

Malo and the others agreed and left as well.

Rean and Roan then returned to their rooms to continue cultivating when suddenly, they heard a message.

*Pin!*

[The last humans being brought to Wringan Continent have just arrived. With that, the age of human slavery meets its end. Whether it will ever happen again or not, no one knows.]

[Congratulations, Hosts! Thanks to your intervention, the War Between Demon Beasts and Zasfins has reached a conclusion. The destiny of almost everyone on the planet was changed in many ways, adding to the Soul Gem System's records.]

[Hidden Quest Accomplished: Rebirth of the Human Race]

[Reward: 20000 Destiny Points.]

[Title Acquired: Breakers of Bounds]

To say that Rean and Roan were surprised would be wrong. They had been told that their intervention in the war would definitely affect the mission rewards. Sister Orb made that very clear before. What they didn't expect was that there was a hidden quest connected to it.

"Sister Orb, does that mean we won't get normal Destiny Points just by changing destiny in the surroundings?" Rean asked.

Sister Orb immediately answered, [That's correct. However, don't feel sad because of that. The event with Celis rewarded you with 30000 Destiny Points. It changed the destiny of the inhabitants of the world way more than your intervention in the war. That means your intervention wouldn't have gotten even close to that amount. However, the hidden quest reward still gave you 20000. Not to mention the new title and the ability it unlocks.]

That was true. Since taking Celis away gave them 30000 Destiny Points, Roan guessed that intervening in the war would generate around 10000 to 12000 points. They got a lot more than that, obviously.

"That's good." Of course, Rean and Roan still had another doubt. "So...what does the title 'Breakers of Bounds' do?"
