Later that day, Rean gathered with Malo and Glennie at the Freedom Sect. Malaka's parents and their descendants were there as well, including Lisia. Jabure and Lintawa had a special fondness for Lisia since she truly looked just like Malaka, although her eyes had a different color.
Rean could see that Lintawa's eyes, especially, looked quite red, showing that she must have cried quite a lot. It couldn't be helped. After all, they just found out today that Malaka had already passed away from old age. It wasn't like he couldn't understand the feeling either.
Nonetheless, it was about time to leave, so he decided to ask now. "So, what do you intend to do? If you wish, I can leave you here on the Zasfins Planet. Malaka's descendants are here, which means they are your descendants as well. Little Malo here can help you establish yourselves."
Jabure and Lintawa looked at each other and nodded. "If that's the case, we would like to stay with them. We weren't that much interested in life in the Realm of Gods to start with. We only followed you because you told us you would bring us to Malaka. Alas..."
Salaka agreed with them. "Indeed, Great Ancestor. We would prefer it if they stayed too. They are definitely welcome."
Rean smiled and nodded. "Very well." Right after, he bowed to Jabure and Lintawa. "I'm sorry I couldn't reunite you with Malaka. If there is anything else Rean can do for you, you just need to ask."
Jabure patted Rean's shoulder and sighed. "That was not your fault. Besides, Malaka lived a happy life and built a great family. That's all parents like us could ever hope for."
Lintawa's eyes got teary again as she nodded. "He is right. Little Rean, we don't know what you have to do, but we know it is very important. Just go. We will be fine."
Rean determination only grew with their words. "Yes, seniors. I understand. I hope you have a fulfilled life. I'll see you some other day if fate allows it."
Rean also bid farewell to Malaka's descendants before looking at Malo and Glennie. "So, are you ready?"
Malo and Glennie immediately nodded. They heard from Rean that the Freedom Sect now exists in the Realm of Gods, in the Demon Beasts' Territory. They truly wanted to see it. They weren't the only ones going, though. There were quite a few Formations Masters that Malo decided to bring with them.
Those Formations Masters carried most of the knowledge of Circuitry Formations of the past hundreds of years. Rean was more than happy to accept them since their knowledge would indeed greatly improve the Freedom Sect located in the Dragon Race Territory. He planned to leave all these people there. Well, not exactly there, but somewhere close where Qia and Calina could take them back without revealing Rean and Roan's presence.
Above all, these Formations Masters were not being forced. They all received the full explanation about what was going to happen. If any of them would rather stay, Rean definitely wouldn't force them to come. Nonetheless, they all accepted. Malo had specifically targeted the Masters who had no family to not cause any unnecessary concern.
"Alright, let's go!" Rean then sent everyone inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Kentucky had already returned after Rean placated him with some work on a few statues of the demon bird.
Finally, Rean made a cutting action with his hand, oppening a Spatial Gate in front of everyone. Lisia looked at his back while he was stepping inside and sighed. That was probably the last time she would see the Great Ancestors, too. It's not like she didn't want to go. It's just that she couldn't just leave her family behind.
Yet, just as Rean was about to enter, Salaka, Malaka's daughter, called his attention. "Great Ancestor, wait!"
Everyone looked at Salaka, puzzled, including Rean. "Did you forget something?"
Suddenly, Lisia felt a slap on her butt, forcing her forward. She was taken aback as she looked at Salaka.
Salaka just smiled and looked back at Rean. "This idiot here wants to go too. Would you mind bringing her to experience this Realm of Gods of yours?"
"Grandmother!" Lisia immediately shouted back. "Who said I wanted to go?"
Lauren, Lisia's father, snorted in response. "Hmph! Who do you think you are fooling here, brat?"
Armalia, Lisia's mother, nodded. "Your father is right. Stop pretending and just go chase your dreams. Perhaps the spark you need to reach the Soul Transformation Realm is just beyond the Sptail Gate behind the Great Ancestor."
"M-Mother, Father..."
*Tud!*
Suddenly, a little boy embraced Lisia's tight. "Big Sister, you have to come back and visit me!" Naturally, it was Kleon.
"Even you, Kleon..." Lisia didn't know what to say.
Rean scratched the back of his head. He looked at Jabure and Lintawa, who he knew to like Lisia quite a lot after their interactions. "Are you fine with this arrangement?"
Jabure and Lintawa nodded. "She does look like Malaka, but that is not her. Besides, who are we to stop our descendant from realizing their dreams?"
Looking at her entire family pushing her forward, how could Lisia pretend to not want it. "Thank you!" Right after, she looked back at Rean and bowed with respect. "Great Ancestor, I wish to see the Realm of Gods."
Seeing that everyone was one mind, Rean just laughed. "Hahaha! Very well, little Lisia. I guess that makes you my little... errrr... great-great-grandnephew... then! Oh well, whatever. Come on, then. Don't resist the pulling force."
Lisia felt some invisible power trying to take her, and she just let her body go. The next second, she completely disappeared from everyone's sight. Rean then looked at the rest of the people. "Well, now this is a goodbye for sure. Farewell!"
Rean quickly entered the Spatial Gate, which closed on his back. The next time he came out of it, he was already who knows how many light-years away. "Let me see..." Rean then checked the information he got from Eagon about the Mortal Realm and the places they were connected to the Realm of Gods. "That should be around here. Well, time to go back."
Rean then simply let go of his resistance against the Spatial Powers of the Mortal Realm, which immediately pulled him into another Spatial Gate. This one, however, was connected to the Realm of Gods. Finally, Rean and his companions left the Mortal Realm.
