Chapter 896 - Dream On

Of course, it didn't take long for the Formation Masters to find out that the Freedom Sect was responsible for it. As soon as that happened, they sent people to Freedom City to learn more about the creators. It didn't even take a long time to find about it since Rean never really tried to keep it a secret. It's just that after they found out about him, the Zasfins who had relations with the Soul Rulers felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"So...it was the human who was working on formations back in the Soul Rulers headquarters."

"Doesn't that mean Rean developed this new type of communication formation after learning about it from the Soul Rulers?"

"That doesn't make sense. I helped the Soul Rulers with a few formations before. I'm sure they didn't have anything like that. Unless they were hiding this new method until now."

"That's even more impossible, don't you think? If they had access to this kind of formation before, they would have used it during the war. Can you not see how big of a difference it would have made if they had it there? There's no way they kept it hidden."

"In that case, Rean developed it on his own...but the things he learned about formations in the Soul Rulers headquarters definitely helped out."

One couldn't blame those Formation Masters for thinking that way. After all, no one other than the Divine Demon Beasts and Rean's friends knew that his group came from another planet. Let alone the fact that Rean has the Soul Gem System.

"What should we do, then? Try to kidnap Rean or one of the Formation Masters working in Freedom Sect?"

"Hahaha! Good luck with that! From the moment I entered Wringan Continent, the demon beasts kept their Spiritual Senses on me nonstop. I'm absolutely sure no one will be able to touch the Freedom Sect unless they send the ancestors of the Zasfin Race to do the job."

"That won't happen since it would be in violation of the agreement. The Ancestors want to use the demon beasts' Bestial Sacred Ground to head to the Realm of Gods. It doesn't matter how important this communication system might be. They won't jeopardize their chances to enter a higher realm of cultivation just to get their hands on it."

With that, the Zasfins were in a huge dilemma. On one side, they needed to obtain the methods to build the communication system. On the other, they couldn't start an incident against the demon beasts. Otherwise, the Zasfin Ancestors of the Soul Rulers would personally come and kill them.

In the end, they had only one choice.

"Do we really need to negotiate with the humans? They were just slaves a few months ago."

Sure enough, that feeling pestered all the Formation Masters of the Formation Master Guild. Nevertheless, they could only begrudgingly accept that choice as they couldn't find out how it worked on their own. They needed the principles behind creating the communication system.

Eleven months after the war, a disciple came to Rean's office to deliver a message, telling him, "Elder Rean...there seems to be a few Formation Master Zasfins waiting to talk with you outside the sect. I told them hundreds of times that you don't want to be bothered, but they simply don't give up. Should I send a call to Elder Julia or Rarigo?"

Rean was surprised for a moment, but he knew what the Zasfins came here for. With that, he replied, "There's no need. You can tell the guards to guide the Zasfins to my office. If anyone asks, just tell them it was my decision."

The disciple immediately nodded. "Yes, Elder Rean."

Rean couldn't help but ponder over it after that, thinking to himself, 'Well, that was faster than I thought. It seems like the Formations Guild is quite interested in the communication system. Otherwise, I would have entered the Bestial Sacred Ground before they appeared.' Rean then thought about it from another perspective. 'Oh well, this is also a good opportunity since I don't know what will happen there. Better leave everything on the rails before then.'

Naturally, Rean received a few Spiritual Sense messages asking why the Zasfins were allowed in the Sect. Nevertheless, Rean just told them to forget about it as he had everything under control. 

The Zasfins noticed that they weren't the least bit welcomed there, but they ignored all of that. For the communication system, they were willing to enter the dragons' den. It didn't take long before a disciple of the sect brought the group of Zasfin Formation Masters to Rean's office.

"Hello, everyone. You surprised me when I received a message that some Zasfins wanted to talk with me," Rean said with a smile. "In any case, I'm happy that you're all here. I hope we can have a good time as well. So...what is it that you came to talk with me for?"

The group of Zasfins immediately looked at one of their members in the center. From the looks of it, he was the leader of this party. Seeing their gazes, the Zasfin stepped forward and said, "It's good that you received us. My name is Larefin Dubam, one of the elders in Palif Empire's Formation Master Guild. I believe you already know why we're here. We want the method to build the communication system formations."

Sure enough, the elder acted incredibly high and mighty. In his eyes, he was still a Zasfin, while Rean was just a human. Whether Rean's knowledge of formations was better than his own or not didn't matter. 

Rean, however, couldn't care less about the guy's feelings, saying in response, "Oh, is that so? Very well. The Communication System is something I invented. Tell me, why should I give it to you?"

"Isn't that obvious? This kind of system can change the world. Once we learn how to make it, we can improve and spread this knowledge around the world. You should be honored that our Formations Guild is willing to at least recognize its creator to be a human."

Rean couldn't help but laugh out loud after that.. "Hahaha! Indeed, this is such an honor! Too bad I don't give a flying fuck about that. You want to know how to build my communication system? Dream on!"
