Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 706 - Organizing

As soon as Rean finished saying that, he fuelled the formation core with some of his Rank Three Spirit Stones and activated it. In less than an instant, some kind of dome spread around the area, connecting to seven different spots on the valley's borders. Those were the Concealing Formation's supporting structures.

Soon after, that dome seemed to turn hazy until it finally disappeared. If one looked from the inside, one would be able to see the sky without any issues. However, those who looked from the outside would only see a valley covered in mist that prevented Spiritual Senses from entering.

Roan then flew high up in the sky until he escaped the concealing formation to try it out. His Spiritual Sense spread outward soon after, trying to penetrate the formation. Sure enough, it wasn't possible. He couldn't see anything with his eyes. Even his Spiritual Sense couldn't pass through it. "This is quite a strong formation. This isn't an Earth Level Formation, right?" Roan asked through the twins' soul connection.

"Exactly!" Rean answered straight away with a smile. "When I got to the peak of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm, my Spiritual Energy pool already had as much energy as a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. That being said, I was able to take another step forward and draw a Heaven Level Formation. Now that I'm in the Nascent Soul Realm for real, it's just an easier task for me."

Rean had received training from Droman back in the Dalamu Sect, who was already a Heaven Level Formation Master. Palaris was obviously at the same level. Not to mention that the Soul Rulers had the most extensive Formation Master Repository in the world, which Rean got full access to. It went without saying that Rean had all the necessary conditions to enter the Heaven Level as a Formation Master.

Roan, of course, was satisfied with that. "That's good, then. I guess the only risk would be the so-called Blue Luan, depending on how strong that demon beast's Spiritual Sense is." The fact that a Stage Six Demon Beast even lived in this place was already unexpected, so they couldn't do much about it.

Kentucky then flew out of the valley and looked around, saying, "This is very good. It's an amazing place for flying around." He then got an idea as he suggested, "Why don't we put Celis at the center of the valley? With Rean's formation and the valley's profundity, it should just be enough for Celis to grow his roots."

Roan pondered over it for a bit before nodding. "Alright. But we'll need him to leave some of his saplings inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to nurture the herb garden I intend to make."

Celis, who was listening to the conversation inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, immediately agreed with the idea. "That's great! Because I detached myself from my saplings around the world, they've all withered away by now," he responded, excited. "I can't divide my mind to control as many saplings as before, but it's definitely enough for a dimensional realm spanning 40 kilometers in diameter."

Following that, thirteen buds began to grow out of Celis's branches. After that, they shot out like bullets, flying all around the Dimensional Realm before piercing through the ground. Not long after, Spiritual Energy began to gather around the places those buds landed on as they began to take root and grow.

Seeing that, Celis was satisfied. "It's done. It'll take a few months before they grow old enough to help with the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm's development. However, it should be enough since your own herb garden will probably take even longer to develop."

Roan agreed with Celis before he flew back into the formation. However, he warned Kentucky to stay outside. "Kentucky, don't come inside yet. There's no protection formation preventing the other Stage Five Demon Beasts from barging inside, so you need to stop them before they try and enter." That was the only method they could use at the moment.

Kentucky wanted to go back so that he and Celis could continue to build his nest. Unfortunately, he knew that Roan was right. With that, he responded with a sigh, "Sigh...fine.? Make sure to tell Rean to be quick."

Kentucky then flew even higher as he took the opportunity to check his own territory in detail.

Back inside the Concealing Formation, Rean waited for Roan to get back before bringing all the other kids out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

*Vup, vup, vup, vup...*

In just a minute, all the 3589 kids had appeared outside. Fortunately, with Celis's disappearance, the world recovered its warmth, so although it was a little chilly, it wasn't an unbearable temperature.

"I'm cold..."

"I want Uncle Dian!"

"Uwahhhh!"

"What is this place?"

"Why did the uncle and aunt Zasfins disappear?"

Sure enough, it was still a chaotic situation. Most of the kids truly believed the Zasfins of the Soul Rulers' headquarters, so they still missed them and didn't want to believe they were just considered resources.

Roan then looked at Malo's group and told them, "Now, it's all up to you to take care of them. Of course, we'll help you during the first few months, teaching you all you need to know. Your first mission is to create several groups with a hundred or so kids, having each one of you as their leader. All of you are the oldest kids here, so you need to take care of the young ones, especially the babies."

Malo and the others still felt overwhelmed, though. After all, it had only been just a few hours since Roan brought them outside as well.

Soon, a bright white light came out of Rean's hands and covered Malo's group. In just a few seconds, all the wounds caused by Roan's training disappeared. "You don't need to be afraid of getting hurt as long as I'm here. Just focus on your tasks, okay? Go ahead. Your little brothers and sisters need you. As the oldest siblings, it is your mission to help them."

Rean, as always, was a lot more gentle, which made the older kids trust him a lot more than the cold Roan.

Malo then gritted his teeth and nodded as he said to the others, "A-Alright. Poliana, Falas, Wataba, Glennie, and everyone else. Let's separate everyone."

Following Malo's lead, the 32 kids that would become the leaders began to organize the younger ones. Of course, neither Rean nor Roan expected it to work well. After all, they were just too young to have such a high level of organization. Nevertheless, they still needed to start working on it, so it was a good opportunity.

The entire process took over three hours, and it was done very clumsily. Rean and Roan had to intervene several times as fights between the kids would happen every now and then. However, Roan scared these kids so badly that they wouldn't dare to cause problems again. In this specific point, Roan was still the best choice for control, while Rean was the kids' soothing light.

Roan nodded as he looked at the separated groups and said, "Very good." Roan then looked at everyone's appearance and pointed at the river running through the valley, telling them, "Now, it's bath time. All of you, head to the river."

Rean then looked at three specific groups of kids. In those groups, there were just thirty kids who were all about eight years old. As for the rest, they were all babies of two years of age or less, too young to take care of themselves. Those three groups had only one responsibility, which was to raise the young ones. As for the ones leading those groups, they were Poliana, Falas, and Glennie, three of the five twelve-year-olds available.

"Poliana, Falas, Glennie. You three have the most important job, which is to take care of these babies. You can leave all the rest of the work to the other kids. Just make sure you treat them well. Their lives are literally on your hands," Rean said with a serious expression. "As for food and other things, I'll arrange them all."

The three girls nodded in response, knowing that Rean put them in charge because of the difficulty of this task. Once again, Rean's group didn't expect them to do a good job at first. It would take a very long time until they got used to it. Nevertheless, it was still a start.

When the first kid arrived at the river, he couldn't help but complain, "It's too cold! I don't wanna enter it."

Only then did Rean remember that the ice at the top of the mountains surrounding the valley would take much longer to melt if they melted at all. Naturally, the river they filled up would be very cold. Especially since it was a frozen river in the past.

"Alright, everyone. Stay by the river's side. I'll take care of it," Rean said that as he flew to the border of the river where there were no kids. Using his power, Rean excavated a pond before connecting it to the river so that it would be constantly filled with water. Following that, he took a few materials from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and made a double-layered formation. One of them was a Spiritual Energy Gathering, while the other was a simple Circuitry Heating Formation. That way, the water in that pond would always be around 30 or so degrees.

Naturally, all the kids were amazed by Rean's display of strength. Not to mention that taking a bath in hot water was much better.

And just like that, the lives of the kids and the twins' group in the valley started.
