Calina, who was talking to Roan, asked out of curiosity. "By the way, how is your cultivation progressing? Even though we were quite busy with the communication system and the sect, we didn't slack at all. We are both at the Transition Realm already. I'm in the Late Stage, while she is in the Middle Stage. Perhaps we are very close to catching up to you since we did get a lot of resources for cultivation here in the Dragon Race."
Roan scratched the back of his head. Obviously, he couldn't mention the Divine Origin Energy Cores and especially the time-changing formation in their Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "Our cultivation is going well. As for you, Transition Realm is a very good advancement considering the time we have been away. I will check your progress once I'm back." In the end, he didn't mention he was already in the Elemental Space Realm Peak Stage.
"Okay," Calina happily accepted that. "Talking about coming back... when will you come? I miss you."
Roan wasn't exactly that good with emotional talks, so he made it short. "Since it doesn't seem like you are in danger at the moment, the idea is to delay it. Demon Beasts might know about the things we have in our Dimensional Realm now," Roan explained.
Calina was taken aback. "You mean... those things you need for your mission?" She obviously was talking about the fragments without mentioning them.
"Yes," Roan confirmed. Back in the Ruins of the Stars, a Demon beast succeeded in escaping the Reactor Room, so it saw Rean and Roan as well as Tanxan with the Fragments. Of course, Rean and Roan were using Rean's Body Transformation Technique, so Roan was basically a Devil while Rean was an Angel. Nonetheless, they met tracking abilities like the one used by Aelrie, so he couldn't be certain they didn't have something similar on them. There were also the Vruve Organization Experts who also managed to escape.
"Sigh... how long until we meet again?" Calina still couldn't help but insist.
Yet, Roan shook his head. "I don't know. Of course, if something happens to you, I will change the plans. But at the moment, it is better to not meet since we can't guarantee we will be able to leave." The only reason the twins hurried their cultivations was that they wanted to confirm Calina and Qia were fine during that war to reconquer the Devil's Territories. Now that they knew they were in no danger, there wasn't really a need to put themselves in danger instead by trying to meet them.
Rean also said exactly the same thing to Qia. "So we will keep our distance for now. We have an idea about how to get another one of those things, so we are going to have to delay our meeting."
Qia understood although she wasn't the least bit happy. "I understand. Still..." However, she quickly shook her head. "No, forget it. I know you are doing it for our sake as well." Sure enough, she didn't forget when Sister Orb explained that unifying the two sides of the Universe was necessary, or everyone would die in the end.
"Sorry..." Rean could only apologize. "However, if at any moment you see yourself in a bad situation, contact me immediately. I will drop everything and rush to you."
Qia faintly smiled. "Alright, I'm counting on it. By the way, you should attempt to call Havek as well. He might be like he is, but I know that he also worries about how you are doing. Besides, you might get some extra information from him."
Rean nodded. "I will do that." He then thought about something else. "So, how is Fay?" Naturally, he also wanted to know about his daughter.
"She is fine," Qia explained. "She already returned from the expedition you and Roan prepared for her and Alen and successfully entered the Soul Transformation Realm. By now, she has already reached the Elemental Transformation Realm Late Stage. She is also addicted to formations, just like us. It's just..."
"Just what?" Rean asked back. "Did she perhaps find someone she likes? Dad will not accept it!"
"Hahahaha!" Qia couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Don't worry. She doesn't have anyone in mind at the moment. If anything, you would better say that Formations are her true lover. What I'm talking about is that she is quite, quite angry..."
"Angry?" Rean was puzzled. "Angry about what?"
"Are you really asking that?" Qia asked with a tone of disapproval.
Rean wasn't an idiot. "Oh... it is me, isn't it?"
"That's correct," Qia confirmed. "She believes you abandoned me and left everything on my back about the communication system. Because of that, she truly is trying her best to ease the burden of my job and has made great advancements in her Circuitry Formations abilities. At the moment, her Formation Level isn't higher simply because her cultivation can't support it. Naturally, I didn't tell her why you had to leave since it would only put her in danger instead. Don't worry. Even if she is angry, there isn't real hatred behind her thoughts. You will have to do something about it on your own, though."
"You did the right thing," Rean could only accept that. "Perhaps I will be able to tell her everything another time."
On the other side, Roan's expression was as dark as ever. "So Alen is still that showing the same behavior, uh? Just how did he end like that? Isn't one Kentucky good enough already?"
Calina laughed in response. "Hahaha! Personalities aren't something you can change at will, you know? In any case, he is at least keeping up with Fay in cultivation. But yes, he is just like Kentucky and tries to avoid any extra burden every time possible."
"Hmph!" Roan snorted. "Let's see if he can keep like that once I'm back. Just tell him that if I don't like what I see next time we meet... Hehe!"
Somewhere else, a certain young man felt the chill of death passing through his body. "Wh-What was that?" He had a very bad presentiment.
