The man didn't look away for the new presence. He was very focused in the stars that even a million of years to come, he would still look at them.
Jin Rou didn't disturb the man and just sit a short distance away from him. He knew very well how this man worked. So, he just let him do what he wanted rather than initiating a talk.
The two men stargazed for the billions or trillions of shining stars above. Many times, shooting stars that could be slowed down by them were passing by. The place was filled with peace and serenity that everyone would love for. It felt like countless times of staying here, yet the feeling was still refreshing.
It didn't have the usual death energy here, and one could breathe comfortably.
Jin Rou had already seen the big ocean of stars above. However, it could still make him mesmerize. The night above their realm wasn't as beautiful as here. Not to mention that, this stargazing was beneficial to his cultivation as he had seen many mysteries around and uncovered it.
"I thought you're going up directly." Finally, after several hours of silence passed by, the man broke the ice and spoke in a very mild tone, "I have seen your expeditions, from the lowest world up to here, and I can say you have gotten stronger."
"Thank you for the praise." Jin Rou smiled and said, "But of course, if I didn't get stronger even after all that traveling, I'll be shaming our family. Right, Uncle Dan?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt turned out that the man who had been staying here in Death Island was none other than relative, a close relative, of Jin Rou, Dan Rou.
Dan Rou was the older brother of Fan Rou, the father of Jin Rou. For some reason, he abandoned his prestigious family to live like a secluded hermit here in God's Realm. Of course, though Dan Rou considered himself no longer a Rou, the celestial family wasn't feeling like that. In fact, the family would be more than willing to welcome him.
But the former wanted to stay here, away from the worldly matters. Nonetheless, Jin Rou was always taking some quick visits for him, so that he wouldn't be bored to death.
For Jin Rou, his uncle was who he was closest with. Thus, he was this intimate towards his Uncle Dan.
"I told you, I am no longer part of the Rou Celestial Family." Dan Rou shook his head and sighed, "My home is here, and that will not change."
"I never said that I am pushing you to come back home, Uncle." Jin Rou smirked, "But my mother seems to be missing her brother-in-law."
"That wouldn't work on me, kid." Dan Rou snorted, "I have long went through forward."
Jin Rou chuckled and didn't say anything. So once again, silence engulfed the entire place.
"So why did you visit me?" Dan Rou asked in curiosity, "Surely, you just didn't come here because you missed me?"
"Actually, that's just that." Jin Rou answered, laughing, "Why, I can't miss you and go here now?"
"If I don't want you here, you would be helpless to even step foot on my island." Dan Rou smirked.
"Well, that's given. You are far stronger than me anyways." Jin Rou shrugged his shoulders in helplessness.
It was true. If his uncle didn't want him here, he didn't have a choice but to back off. After all, Dan Rou was the guardian of this island and no one, except him (Jin Rou), had the right to enter.
It was also the sole reason why people were dying when they tried to challenge this area. Because a very strong existence from the heavens was guarding this place.
Even at Jin Rou's power level right now, he might just last for a hundred moves and eventually be defeated.
Though all of them were zenith gods, there were different sub realms. Thus, there was still a power gap towards each other.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"But seriously, you are so much talented. Actually, you are the most talented Rou out of all of us." Dan Rou praised him.
This praise coming from Dan Rou was surprising to Jin Rou. The latter knew that his uncle wasn't fond of praising anyone. After all, he could technically look down in all beings. In fact, in terms of power, Dan Rou was just a meter away from being on the same level as his parents.
"Now that I've showered you with praises, you can tell me now what's your real purpose here." Dan Rou smiled, "A praise from me is considered priceless, you know that."
"You're pushing it this far, though I know you already know the answer." Jin Rou smiled wryly, "But okay. The devils from another universe are coming. They want to take a whole bite in our pie."
"They think so full of themselves." Dan Rou could shake the stars above, "They just got a bit stronger yet they to scheme under our universe's nose? So much audacity."
"But I don't think we can underestimate them." Jin Rou said, "That's why I'm asking for your assistance. My family doesn't know this and I'm asking you myself, not as a celestial king but as your nephew."
It was the real purpose of Jin Rou coming here, to get his uncle's help. If the former agreed, their attack power would surely rise and their chances of victory would increase exponentially. It was how high Jin Rou evaluated his uncle.
"Since my cute nephew is asking, I have to decline. But if it's your mother, I might think about it." Dan Rou answered.
"!!" Jin Rou was about to thank his uncle but when he heard the second part of the sentence, he was flabbergasted and revealed a pale expression.
Seeing this, Dan Rou couldn't help but laugh out loud for the first time, "Don't look at me like that, kid. I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding. I'll help you, of course. That's given."
