Chapter 2599 An Idea
Sometime later, Rean returned to his place and entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm once again. Roan, Luan, Celis, Kentucky, and Sister Orb were still there, thinking. "No ideas yet?"
Roan glanced at him. "If you have one, we are all open to hear it."
Yet, Rean shook his head with a helpless expression. "I, too, have no idea what to do."
Rean then mentioned. "Oh, by the way, did you see Rugo?" Rean asked Roan.
Roan nodded. Rean shared his memories with him the moment he noticed the guy was a Death Spirit. Still, Roan didn't seem interested and didn't come out. "He is a Death Spirit, so what? He is of no use to us at the moment, so forget it. Now, everyone, keep thinking about a way to end this war."
Kentucky couldn't help but ask. "What about if we ask everyone's opinion? Not only between ourselves but our entire Soul Gem Dimensional Realm people. Rean, you still have to tell Fay everything, don't you? That would also be a good opportunity. Above all, you should bid your farewells just in case we can't resolve this problem."
Roan was the first to accept it. "Kentucky is right. With so many people aware of our situation, it won't be much of a difference to tell them all this little bit extra."
Rean nodded. "This wasn't exactly how I planned to let Fay know about our real objective, but I guess there is no helping it."
Rean and Roan first got Alen and Fay, telling them everything about the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. They told them how the foundation of the Universe was damaged and how they were trying to fix it. As one can imagine, they found it hard to believe at first. Yet, Calina and Qia knew about it already, so they confirmed everything. The worst part was to tell about the sudden quest of the system. Qia and Calina got furious with Soul Gem, wanting to cut the guy to pieces. The same went for the twins' parents. Yet, Soul Gem was already gone, so there was nothing they could do there.
Later that day, Qia, Calina, Fay, Alen, the twins' parents, as well as all the people in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm were gathered in a gigantic empty field prepared by Sister Orb. There were even the Demon Beasts who got intelligence. This place was often used by everyone, especially for shows and things like that. Yes, people from Earth liked to have fun, so they obviously shared a lot of their culture with the cultivators, too.
"Alright, all of you are already aware of what Roan and I trying to do, and I already gave you all the information we have. Hyeoumu, the universe, all the powers involved, literally all the information I know that could be of help, I gave you," Rean began to talk. "Some only got to know a few hours ago, though. Still, it doesn't matter. I first want to tell you that if Roan and I can't figure a way out of this shit, we will release you all in the Realm of Gods. You don't need to worry about us bringing you down with us."
"Now, leaving that aside, I gathered you all here because we need ideas. We have a little less than a week to end the war between the Devils and the Realm of Gods' Powers," Rean explained. "We thought a lot about it, but Roan and I couldn't think of anything. To make it worth your time, we will reward anyone who gives us an idea with one hundred Rank Seven Divine Stones."
Everyone in the field went silent. End a war where so many Divinity Realm-level experts are involved? Trillions of cultivators and Devils? A war spanning over hundreds of continents? Let alone seven days, even seven years, would already be a ridiculous notion.
Rean then added. "Don't be afraid of voicing literally anything. At this point, we don't really need a feasible plan. We only need something, regardless of how crazy it might sound. Feasible simply won't cut anymore. Now, then, I'll let you all alone with your thoughts. Anyone who gets an idea, just come over to the platform and speak your mind." Rean got down right after, not expecting much.
Indeed, he was right in not expecting anything. An entire hour went by, and no one went over the platform to talk. The allure of a hundred Rank Sense Divine Stones was absolutely dazzling, but the problem was just too complicated.
Yet, about one and a half hours later, when Rean's group was already thinking about sending everyone home, a figure finally appeared over the platform.
He was just a small boy, obviously someone who was born within the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and didn't know much about the world. Even the boy's parents were surprised by that. However, they didn't stop the boy. Rean already said it; feasible simply won't do anymore. Any crazy idea was valid. Perhaps... a kid could come up with an innocent yet craziest idea ever. Well, it wasn't like anyone was expecting much from him anyway.
The kid seemed a little afraid, finding it hard to talk. Rean then appeared on his side, patting the boy's head. "What's your name?" The number of people living in the Dimensional Realm had long since surpassed the tens of thousands, so Rean couldn't possibly know everyone's names anymore like he did in the past.
"So... Somichan... ancestor..." The kid answered with his head down.
Rean nodded, satisfied. "You are very brave to come up here, Somichan. There is no need to call me ancestor; just call me Big Brother. But do you really understand the situation and what I'm asking for?" Somichan seemed to be no more than eight or nine years old, after all.
Yet, the boy confirmed. "Yes... We need to stop the fight between the two sides."
"Very good," Rean praised him. "So, what's in your mind. Don't worry; no one will laugh. I will beat them up if they do."
"Hyeoumu..." The boy mentioned.
"Hyeoumu?" Rean narrowed his eyes. "If you are thinking about activating the Continental Barriers again, we already thought about it. That will not solve the issue." Actually, Rean had also told everyone already about this idea. Otherwise, someone else would have come up to offer it already. But this was just a kid. Perhaps he forgot about it since Rean truly shared a huge amount of information. It would be normal for a kid to not remember everything. Hell, even adults are probably struggling to organize their minds around all of it.
However, Somichan shook his head. "No. Big Turtle Hyeoumu is scary... but everyone respects him."
Rean didn't say Hyeoumu was a turtle since even he didn't know... but he does seem to be something similar to it. "Are you asking us to ask Hyeoumu's help? That's not a bad idea, kid. Unfortunately, that also won't work. Hyeoumu, the big turtle, already made it clear that he doesn't get involved with the affairs of the Realm of Gods on his back. He will not speak for us."
The boy shook his head again. "No, he will talk... if the problem involves the entire Universe. Ances-... Big brother said bad people are coming from outside the universe. Big Turtle Hyeoumu wouldn't stay put if he sees the Universe is in danger... I think. If Hyeoumu forces his way... would anyone go against him? Big Brother mentioned that even Something-Celestials wouldn't want to anger the big turtle."
Rean and Roan immediately fell into a deep thought. Indeed, they knew about the agreement between the Semi-Celestials. Yet, the Semi-Celestials themselves couldn't even tell if Hyeoumu was a Semi-Celestial or not. Perhaps he was a true Celestial, but it was impossible to confirm. One thing was certain, though. Hyeoumu definitely didn't need to care about the Semi-Celestials agreement. He always could do as he pleased... although he almost never did anything other than sleep. The thing about Continental Barriers was a good example. None of the Semi-Celestials went out to complain with Hyeoumu when he stopped them all.
"So... you are asking us to convince Hyeoumu to stop the war because bad people are coming from outside the Universe?" Rean asked, understand the boy's idea.
Somichan nodded. "Big Turtle seems to be strong enough to force it to stop."
There were huge issues with this idea, though. First of all, as mentioned before, the twins already intended to go tell Hyeoumu about the invasion that was about to happen. The big problem was to even convince Hyeoumu they were not lying. Not even the twins knew if Hex was telling the truth about this invasion. If even the twins didn't know if it was true, how could they convince Hyeoumu it would happen?
Let's forget about it for a moment and pretend that Hyeoumu truly believes the invasion from another Universe will happen. Hyeoumu was also someone who didn't want the Devils on his back, yet he never intervened. The Realm of Gods is on the path to victory now, which no doubt greatly pleased him. Would Hyeoumu truly want to stop the war just because the twins would die if Hyeoumu didn't stop it? Calina couldn't help but murmur, already knowing all these points. "Hyeoumu would need to be crazy to believe it all and also do such a thing for Rean and Roan." Everyone around her nodded, agreeing with her words.
Yet, the twins didn't seem to mind. "Well, we already said that feasible wouldn't cut. Only crazy was acceptable."
Rean then passed a spatial ring to the boy. "Here you go, a hundred Rank Seven Divine Stones."
Everyone looked at the boy, obviously jealous of that huge reward. Yet, this is the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. With Sister Orb's watch, absolutely no one could hope to ever steal it from him.
Rean then got up. "Go back to your parents. They should be very proud of you." Right after, Rean continued to speak to the crowd. "We are still accepting ideas. If anyone has any other crazy input, just yell Sister Orb, and she will come to hear it from you. For now, you can all go back to your homes. We will let you know if things don't work out on our side."
