《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Rean and his team eventually left the sect three days later. Among them, many disciples of the Blacksmith and Formation Halls came with them using the sect's airship. They would spend a few days outside while setting up the antennas. Since they weren't planning to install them too far away from the sect, Rean would still be inside the 3000-kilometer range of their Soul Connection so that he and Roan could exchange elements. That would prevent the twins from holding Celis and Kentucky back.
On the other hand, Roan stayed in the sect. He was already quite busy teaching alchemy each day while still practicing his combat skills. After all, his role was always battle-related. While Rean focused on the Destiny Points, he would keep improving his and Rean's combat manuals.
There was one good thing, though. Roan now had Julia and Fizer to help him with his practice. Fizer would teach Malo what he could while Malo was free. However, when Malo was busy with the sect duties, Roan would knock on his door as long as he wasn't cultivating or teaching alchemy.
"What? You again? Haven't you received a good beating already?" Naturally, after coming to him many times, Fizer began to get annoyed.
Roan didn't mind Fizer's words, though. "It's exactly because I received a beating that I come to you. Can you see anyone else in this sect other than you or Julia who can force me to go all out?"
Fizer sighed in response, knowing that it was true. Yesterday, it was Julia's turn to keep Roan company, so he had to go this time. "You're lucky that you truly gave me a nice disciple. Otherwise, I wouldn't spend so much time on you."
"It's not like you haven't gained anything from it either," Roan said with an emotionless expression. He was right. Even though Fizer was at the Elemental Transformation Realm, Roan was still far more experienced at combat. After all, he was still a Death Spirit in the previous life...or Death itself. When Fizer matched his power, Roan would point out the mistakes he made.

"Fine! I don't know how you can be this good while being so much younger than me. However, I have to admit your notes have benefitted me." Fizer was quite a prideful guy, being the strongest human in the world. The fact that he admitted Roan helped him showed how much he gained from that.
Back on Rean's side, they had the map showing the places where the humans were left on the north side of the north of the continent by the Zasfins. Kentucky helped a few groups move to the abandoned cities, and those cities were the places Rean planned to leave the antennas. On top of that, he also wanted to check how they were doing.
The first city they would visit was Sustral. Naturally, this was another abandoned city by the Zasfins. However, it wasn't as if it was completely empty. After all, the Zasfins who lived there knew that they couldn't keep their humans anymore. That being said, they simply left their slaves behind after the demon beasts came to check it. The humans that arrived after wouldn't be the first ones there.
As they got closer to it, Rean noticed many humans traveling on the ground, heading in the city's direction. On the hands of a few low-level human cultivators, Rean noticed the jade slips he asked Kentucky to deliver. 'Seems like Kentucky did a good job.'
However, he quickly noticed that the number continued to increase nonstop. Eventually, when he saw the city in the distance, he understood that things weren't going very well. Just the queue to enter the city was enormous. Not to mention that the town itself was already packed with more people. "So many of them..."
"Do you think it'll fit the groups we saw behind?"

"Not a chance! Those groups were just the ones we saw from the direction we came. There should be more people heading to Sustral City from other directions."
"He's right. I can tell with my Spiritual Sense that the city doesn't even have space in the houses anymore."
"That's to be expected. This wasn't a very populated continent to start with. Compared to the others, there are very few cities, and they were quite small. Now that we have all the humans of the world in Wringan, those cities are simply not enough."
It was then that Rean narrowed his eyes. It wasn't because the city was gradually becoming overpopulated, but because he could tell that most of the big buildings had very few people inside. Also, there were a few Energy Gathering and even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators barring the city gates.
"You guys, go into the city and find a good place to put the antenna and the controlling Circuitry Formation Device. I'll take a look around."
Dian, Srevil, Qia, and the others nodded after that. The airship was very high in the skies, so no one noticed it entering the city since it looked more like a small dot.
Rean then descended in front of one of the city gates as he asked, "What is happening here?"
Rean used his Spiritual Energy to increase the volume of his words, so everyone in front of the city gate noticed his arrival. Naturally, when they saw that Rean arrived while flying, they understood that his cultivation was much higher than anyone present.
It was then that the Foundation Establishment guard in front of the gate came out in a hurry, asking, "Sir, I'm the chief responsible for the south gate. Is there anything you want to know?" Sure enough, he tried to be as respectful as possible.
Rean narrowed his eyes in response, saying, "I can tell with my Spiritual Sense that the city still has space to shelter more people in the big buildings that were used by the Zasfin clans before. Why is everyone being held outside?"
The guy quickly answered, "Those clan estates already have owners, so others can't use them. Otherwise, they would be infringing Fausec Country's law. Without any other choice, we can only keep the rest of the people outside."
"Fausec...Country?" Rean was taken aback. Until a few weeks ago, such a country didn't exist. Where did it come from?
