Rean then pointed at Lisia. "Lisia here is in the late stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. However, she hasn't accumulated enough Spiritual Energy to break through into the Peak Stage yet. That said, I'm powerless to help her at the moment. Besides, my method only works because you guys are many realms below me. If you were at a higher realm, even I wouldn't be able to help this easily."
Lauren sighed. "I see..." For a moment, he thought they might all get free breakthroughs, but it seemed like it was impossible.
Suddenly, everyone's communication badges turned on. Rean had received one of those badges from Malo, so his own also did the same. Immediately, they sent their Divine and Spiritual Senses into the badges, where they saw a recording from Malo.
'I'm calling everyone on the planet to announce my retirement. I'm stepping down from the role of Ancestor of the Freedom Sect. Recently, I received an offer from someone I deeply respect, so I'm taking my leave. There is no need to worry, though. The Freedom Sect will continue to prosper even without me. I've already appointed my successor, and I believe you all know him quite well. Yilian, please come.'
The Freedom Sect was one of the biggest powers in the world, and especially they were the source of the circuitry formations. They totally had the right to call everyone's communication badges if they wished. It's just that such a huge call to everyone's devices rarely ever happened.
The message continued. But from there onwards, Malo and the man called Yilian only talked about the changes the sect would go through after the change. That was mainly to appease the people's hearts as Malo disappeared from the scene.
After that message was over, another one arrived, this time recorded by Glennie, who also held the position of an ancestor of the Freedom Sect. Just like Malo, she also got someone else to take her position and spent the rest of the recording explaining the changes her successor would make.
Finally, both messages disappeared, sending the entire world into a wave of discussions. Yet, Rean was more surprised about something else. "Weird... I thought Malo was going to tell everyone we were back. Seems like he thought it would bother me and decided to leave it at that."
Lisia didn't think it was only that. "Great Ancestor... It wasn't just because it would bother you but because such information would also cause a huge uproar. Telling everyone you came back for a visit was the same as saying that you now could come and go from the Realm of Gods as you wished. That would definitely cause a lot of trouble for the sect as a whole since all the world's experts would flock to our doors, begging to bring them with you."
Rean looked at Lisia and had to admit her words were correct. "I see... Oh well, I guess this is fine. It is not like I will never come back again anyway."
Rean then looked at Malaka's daughter, hoping to hear more. "Would you mind telling me a little bit more about Malaka's life? Malo told me a lot of things, but there were definitely a few more personal moments that only someone as close as a daughter had experienced."
Salaka nodded. "Yes, Great Ancestor." After watching the message where two ancestors of the Freedom Sect suddenly decided to step down, no more doubts could be found in Salaka's head. She then invited Rean to the living room with everyone else while the servants of the small mansion prepared some food.
*Zush!*
Surprisingly, Roan also appeared in the room, scaring everyone.
Rean, on the other hand, just laughed. "Hehe! So you are also curious. Didn't you say there was no need to meet them?"
Roan glanced at him but didn't deny it. "Is there a problem? Besides, aren't you also here?"
"That's true," Rean answered while shrugging his shoulders.
Naturally, they also recognized Roan since he was basically a copy of Rean. After recovering from their shock, Salaka sat down on a sofa and began to tell other stories of her family.
Turns out that Malaka ended up having four children. It's just that Salaka was the last one alive. One of them died while venturing into the Demon Beasts Territories, while the other two died simply because they ran out of lifespan. Those last two never succeeded in entering the Nascent Soul Realm. As for the one that died in the Demon Beasts' Territory, he had the highest talent in their family, alas...
It wasn't wrong to say that Malaka's cultivation was mainly due to Rean and Roan's help. Even with the sect's resources available after the twins left, it couldn't compare with Roan's personal training. Her children also got the sect's support, but resources alone didn't guarantee one's success. Talent was also a big deal in the Mortal Realm, and none of Malak's children had a talent surpassing the Green Color.
After a few hours of talking, sad and happy moments, Salaka finally finished. "Sigh... I guess this is enough for now. If I talk more than that, Mother would probably get angry in her next life."
It was then that Rean remembered something. "Oh, shit! I completely forgot!"
*Zush!*
Right after, Rean disappeared from the room, leaving even Roan puzzled. Roan focused his mind in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, and only then did he understand. Without saying anything, he just waited.
*Zush, zush, zush!*
A few minutes later, Rean reappeared in the room. "Sorry for the wait. These are Malaka's Father and Mother, senior Inna Jabure and Inna Lantiwa." One must not forget that Malaka's full name was Inna Malaka. Inna is the family's name.
Those two were taken aback when Rean returned, telling them they had news of Malaka. Rean had met them on the Sunkan Planet, but because he already intended to visit the Zasfins' Planet, Rean simply told them that he would bring them out once he went to see Malaka. He didn't expect Malaka to be dead already and almost forgot about her parents.
"I see..." Salaka obviously understood what she had to do. "Great Ancestor, let's pay another visit to the sect then."
Rean nodded. "That will be for the best."
