"So..." Luan began to speak. "We need someone with enough influence who will believe us and won't reveal our identity as the source of this information?"
Rean nodded. "That's what we need if we don't want to be pursued again. After all, everyone will try to understand how we got this information, which will lead to Hex. Yet, we can't get Hex to do anything we want, so we will be locked down until second order."
[To be honest, even if you find someone like that and this expert releases the information, I doubt many would believe it,] Sister Orb said. [It seems way too far-fetched. Just getting this 'friend' to believe us will already be a huge challenge since we have no proof. That's not all. Was Hex really telling the truth? Can we confirm it? We can't.]
"That's why I'm saying we should just ignore it, pretending we heard nothing," Roan picked up from there. "Too many problems for pretty much no return. Or do you think there is anyone out there who will believe us, is capable of convincing the masses that this information is real and can still keep the secret? All of that while we ourselves aren't sure if this information is real or not."
"There is someone... actually two..." Suddenly, someone else's voice echoed in their ears. Rean and the others turned to the newcomer, seeing that it was none other than Turen, their Father.
[I called him over since this seems something a Semi-Celestial like Turen could help us with,] said Sister Orb.
Rean and the other nodded. Turen was a good source of information, considering his level. "Dad, you said there is someone? You are not talking about yourself, right? I know you are a Semi-Celestial, but still..."
Turen shook his head. "Of course not! Would you believe in someone who kept himself locked in the Temporal Path all this long when he suddenly came out with this crap?"
Everyone shook their heads. That's exactly what Rean meant.
Seeing that everyone agreed on this point, Turen continued. "I'm not talking about myself. Instead, I'm talking about Hyeoumu as the first option. Or, if you can find him, Romario, Rean's Father from the other side of the Universe. It is no secret to the angels that Rean's other Father is from the outside of the Universe, after all."
Everyone went silent. Those were indeed two options that might work. But the first one would require Hyeoumu to believe them. The second one... would require Romario to show himself and most likely be captured, if not killed. "Forget Romario," Celis immediately discarded that idea. "We don't know where he is. Also, would he allow himself to fall into the hands of other cultivators? He will have to come out in the open and allow himself to be captured if he wants anyone else to believe him."
"I don't think it would be a problem," Rean spoke. "Did you forget Romario betrayed the Lingan Universe because he wanted to save this one? All to prevent the Lingan Universe from taking away our Universe's Chaos Origin Source. If he finds out we have this information, maybe he will allow himself to be captured in order to convince everyone that danger is coming."
"Still unfeasible," Roan also didn't think it was a good idea. "How would we even find him to start with? As for Hyeoumu... Father, would you be able to change the laws to communicate with Hyeoumu and tell him this piece of news? Or perhaps we should go down the Continental Barrier and force him to recall us again? This last option is extremely dangerous, though."
Turen quickly nodded. "Yes, I can do it. Also, Hyeoumu would not mind keeping your identities hidden since he has a connection with Soul Gem. It's just that he will most likely pull you so that you can talk face-to-face. As long as you are in the Realm of Gods, he will be able to find you. Would that be okay?"
"Well, it's better than trying to break Hyeoumu's shell and get his ire like last time," Rean commented. "Also, if we convince him, there won't be a single expert in this Universe who will disregard his words. He does have such a presence here."
Turen nodded. "Then I guess Hyeoumu it is. As you know, I share my memories with my main body in the Temporal Path. I will contact Hyeoume straight away."
"Wait!" Roan quickly stopped him. "Regardless of the outcome, this is something that will only happen after a few years at least. It is not like the enemy will arrive tomorrow. We have just arrived in the Dragon Race Territory... so let's wait a few days."
Everyone looked at Roan with surprise in their eyes. Wasn't that the same as saying he wanted to spend some time with Calina without having to deal with other problems? You could expect it from Rean, no doubt, but not from Roan.
Turen approached Roan and patted his shoulders with a teary face. "My boy is finally developing some feelings. Dad is so happy!"
"Fuck off!" Roan slapped Turen's hands away and left the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm straight away. They all saw the tinge of red on his face, which made them wonder if it was an illusion.
As for everyone else, they all laughed out loud. Who knows when they will see such an embarrassed Roan ever again?
Rean then turned to Turen with a smile. "Dad, you won't mind meeting your grandkids and daughters-in-law before talking to Hyeoumu, will you?"
"As if I would ever mind such a thing! Quick, go out and arrange everything. I will fetch your mother!" Turen quickly turned around and flew in the distance.
Celis obviously had nothing to do with that, so he just left to continue cultivating. As for Kentucky, he left the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm with Rean. By now, Kentucky was confident he could hide his Regal Bloodline even if Placake himself appeared in front of him. Obviously, Luan followed Rean's group, as he knew everyone there too.
The long-due reunion was finally here.
"So..." Luan began to speak. "We need someone with enough influence who will believe us and won't reveal our identity as the source of this information?"
