Chapter 1862 Separate

"People wish to leave now?" Alex asked. "When did it start?"

"It's been happening for a long while now. It's nothing new," the senior said. "It's mostly people that used to live out there realizing that they do not like to live like a regular human when they could fly and live forever."

"It's tough to realize that you could have a long life, and instead you are dying in this isolated continent."

Alex nodded as he listened to the senior. "If you will come, the Southern Continent will accept it."

"I believe most know where they wish to go. Don't concern yourself with it. It will still take a year or two for this all to be complete. Tell me more of what is going on with you."

Alex gave a soft smile. "Nothing much. Just living my life how I can now that the war is done and peace is back," he said. 'My apologies for not coming sooner. I just... time slipped by me because of everything I needed to do."

"That's alright," the man said. "I expected nothing less from a King. You have a lot of responsibility on you. At least you found the time to come."

Alex nodded. "I came because my sister is getting married and she wished that I call sister Hao Ya to her wedding."

"Was little Hannah not married already?" the man asked with a somewhat confused face.

"This is just a wedding. My aunt simply wouldn't accept their marriage without the two of them going through a ceremony where she is present."

Senior Yang gave a look of understanding. "I see. It's because of Liz. Where is Hannah though? If she was to invite Hao Ya to her wedding, I assumed she would've come herself."

"Oh, my sister is in the Eastern Continent right now," Alex said. "Because both the Emperor and the Crown Prince died in the war, brother Huan ended up becoming the Emperor and she is all but the Empress now."

"Little Hannah? Now that's surprising," the man said.

Alex realized that the senior knew very little about the aftermath of the war and quickly told him everything. He hid a couple of things, mainly his Undying physique while giving the information.

It was unlikely that the senior did not know about his healing capabilities, but no one needed to know that he could have his soul ripped out of him and he could still come back.

He knew partly from his memories that the Undying and a few of his subsequent inheritors were people whom the Humans hated very much in the war. He did not wish to get the knowledge out that he was such a being's inheritor.

Alex told the man the rest of it, including the Sword Domain.

"You have started creating your own Sword Domain? That is an incredible feat," the man said, doing little to hide his amazement.

"Even Immortals struggle to create their own Sword Domains for the longest of time and you somehow did it as a Saint. If you were born in one of the Immortal realms, you would've been taken in by one of the many ancient sects around the world already."

The man took in the information and nodded. "Even if she is slower, I will still go with her," he said. "I have thought a long time about it and I realize that I shouldn't be leaving with you."

"Okay..." Alex said slowly. "Why is that?"

"Because of who you are and what you carry with you," the senior said. "I cannot let the two trees get into the hands of someone we cannot trust when we leave. So instead, we will have to leave separately."

Alex pondered on the reason for a bit and it did not make any logical sense to him. "Senior, aren't I supposed to keep these with me until I find a safe place to plant them?" he asked. "It thought that was the reason I was carrying it in the first place."

"You did, and you still are. That is why it will be dangerous for you to come with me," the senior said. "When I leave this place, I will either end up at a land controlled by the Humans or the Demons."

"If I end up in a place controlled by the Demons, I will have a chance of making my way back to the Sky God's Palace more easily."

"But if I end up in a human-controlled Immortal land, there are bound to be people waiting for me to leave. So the moment I arrive there, every faction, sect, family, or fanatics I have wronged will be on the lookout for me. Every Immortal land will be ruled by at least some of them, and if they capture me, they will certainly search the people I arrived with."

"If I were to leave with you, they would find the trees immediately. However, if I were to leave with your sister or anyone else for that matter, even if they find me, they will not find anything with the others I came with, in which case they will all be safe."

Alex frowned hard upon hearing this suggestion. "It feels like a dangerous plan. My sister will be risking her life to bring you up there. Not just her, everyone that will leave with her will be risking it."

"They will not," the man said quickly. "When we arrive, there will be hundreds of scouts from every single sect, guild, and society in the area of the receiving formation platform, trying to recruit you all."

"These men trying to find me, they're not savages. They will be thinking about their own reputations and will never harm the newly arrived Immortals. As soon as they search for your sister and everyone else with her, they will let them go."

Alex couldn't let go of his frown. It just didn't feel right to let his sister take on the risky task while he did nothing.

The man could see this. "Just think about it like this. If you and I were to get captured together, we would be in a lot more trouble than if I were not to be with you."

Alex nodded. He understood that part. "But then you can go with someone else, can't you? It doesn't have to be my sister."

"I still have to take Ronron with me," he said. "She has to go with me, and Hao Ya. Her presence alone will be enough deterrence to stop people from attacking anyone she is with. After all, nobody wants to antagonize a possible future Sky God."

Alex thought for a bit. "What about the beasts?" he asked. "In less than a thousand years, they will go back to their world. Can you not go with them?"

"Thousand years is too long," the man said. "You will reach Immortality in what? 20 years? Even if we estimate others to take a lot longer, in the next 200 to 500 years, this world will start generating more immortals than it has in the past 50 thousand years."

"At that point, the people out there will recognize that the Godkiller does not care who comes or goes. So, Immortals and Divinities will start pouring here at that point, in search of me."

"I must leave this place long before that."
