Hamarlia was surprised at how beautiful Rana looked. Obviously, she wasn't human. Hamarlia could see the fairy traits like the marks on her face or the wings behind. Nonetheless, she was beautiful. "Is that really her?"
Rean nodded. "The one and the sa. Well, it has been a few hundred years since I saw her last ti. Nonetheless, she also has a high level of cultivation, so her appearance probably hasn't changed much from what you are seeing now."
Finally, Hamarlia sighed in relief. "If she is fine, then that's all that matters." As hard as it was to believe, she didn't think Rean would lie to her. However, there was still a problem. "What... do I do with her body now?"
Rean scratched the back of his head. "That's quite a tricky question. It is her body, after all. But at the sa ti, it is not anymore. If Roan was here, he probably would say sothing along the lines of *It's just a mass of flesh and bones. Bury it.*"
Everyone could totally see Roan seeing those words.
Hamarlia then carefully put Rana's body on the bed and caressed her a bit. "This body will die in a few hours, right? Then I'll stay with it until that ti cos. It's the one my body made for my daughter, so I don't want to just dispose of it. I will properly bury it later."
No one had anything against that. "Do as you wish, Mom," said Rean.
With this matter settled, everyone finally had the ti to turn to the previous problem. "Rean, what is this Realm of Gods you talked about? Also, you still haven't answered the question about your cultivation. We also want to know more about the... planet... or whatever you call this world. How did it get destroyed?"
Rean nodded. "Let's start with the destruction of this world. Back then, I don't know exactly how many years ago, Roan and I were targeted by a cultivator at a level that far surpasses your imagination. I can't tell you why, but that cultivator wanted to make sure that we would both be destroyed. To achieve that, he didn't co down to the planet to look for us, as it couldn't tell exactly where we were. Instead, it chose to imdiately destroy the planet itself, hoping to take us down with it."
"A cultivator can beco strong enough to destroy an entire world?!" Juri, Turen, and Hamarlia were obviously shocked to hear that. After all, they saw just how big a planet was.
Rean scratched the back of his head before saying, "To be honest, even I can destroy a planet now if I want." He wasn't lying. Without the suppression of the Realm of Gods, Rean's power far surpassed what he could do in the three higher realms, but the sa was valid to everyone else.
Juri felt cold sweat running down his back. "Then... what realm are you at the mont?"
"Well, I'm quite high..." Rean explained. "So, you know Body Transformation, Energy Gathering, and Foundation Establishnt, right?"
Juri nodded. "I'm in the Foundation Establishnt, after all. I also heard in the city that what cos after is the Core Formation, then Core and Soul Fusion, and finally, Nascent Soul. I don't know what cos after that. Are you above Nascent Soul?"
Rean couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha! Yes, I think you could say that." He continued. "After Nascent Soul, you get Soul Transformation, Saint Realm, Elental Transformation, and finally, Transition Realm. Transition Realm is the limit of cultivation one can achieve in the Mortal Realm."
Suddenly, the Laws of the Universe tried to attack Rean. After all, talking about higher realms was a way of provoking the laws of the Universe. However, Rean simply waved his hand, dispersing all the power that tried to accumulate in his location. If it was soone in the Transition Realm, they would have a hard ti to simply survive. But for Rean in his Elental Space Realm, that was basically nothing. It was such an effortless action that the other people in the house didn't even notice anything. He would basically do the sa thing every ti he talked about a higher realm now.
"Mortal Realm?" Turen imdiately asked.
"So you are in the Transition Realm then?" Juri also added his question.
Rean pondered a bit and continued. "There are four 'planes' in the Universe. By Universe, I an the place where our planet, the sun, and literally everything else is located. There are other Universes too. However, I won't talk about them now."
"Anyway, the first plane is the Underworld. That's where all the dead souls go before reincarnating. The second one is the one where you live, the Mortal Realm. The third is the Realm of Gods, the place where Roan and I spent most of our ti and where Rana lives. Last but not least, the fourth plane is the Heavens. Yes, the heavens you always heard about weren't just a concept but a real place."
"The Mortal Realm, or Mortal Plane, if you prefer, is considered a Lower Realm/Plane since the highest cultivation you can achieve is the Transition Realm. The Realm of Gods, Underworld, and Heavens are considered Higher Realms/Planes. That's because you can go beyond the Transition Realm."
"Now, going back to my previous explanation, after the Transition Realm, you have Void Tempering Realm, then Space Bending Realm, and finally, you have the Realm Roan, and I are, at the mont, the Elental Space Realm. Above it, there are another two realms, the Space-Ti Realm and the Divinity Realm. So believe it is possible to go beyond the Divinity Realm, but no one has found a way to do that yet."
Hamarlia, Turen, and Juri felt their heads spinning. It was way too much information. However, one thing was certain. "So... you are in the Elental Space Realm... hehe... haha..." They couldn't even start to conceptualize just how far that was.
"I told you," Rean added, "it has been a long ti since I last ca here. A lot, really, a lot of things happened. Don't underestimate what more than a thousand years can do."
He also warned about sothing else. "Oh, right! Don't talk about the Transition Realm and higher Realms from now on. At least not while I'm not by your side. Talking about such Realms will cause a backlash from the Universe. You will definitely die if you do that. If you must ntion it, use your Spiritual Sense to convey the ssage."
The others were surprised to hear that but accepted in the end. Transition Realm and above were just too far from their grasp anyway.
Rean then waited as he watched those three organize everything they had learned in their heads. He wasn't in a hurry since Roan was watching Eagon with Kentucky.
A few minutes later, Juri was the first to speak. "Okay... I think I more or less understand just how powerful you are at the mont... or perhaps I don't... Anyway, let's go back to the main reason for your return. What are you planning to do on our planet?"
Rean sighed in response. "To be honest, I don't know. Until a few hours ago, I didn't even know that restoring the planet to its original state and even reviving everyone was possible." Rean wanted to use his Divine Sense to explain everything at once. Unfortunately, his Divine Sense was too strong for mortals like them. If he did, there was a chance he would damage their souls or even kill them. That said, Rean spent his next hour recounting everything he knew and that he was allowed to speak. Naturally, he kept things like the Soul Gem System's existence hidden. "And that's more or less about everything..."
Yet, Juri felt strange after hearing about the cluster of Crystalized World Essence. "I think I heard about that before..."
"You... did?" Rean found it hard to believe. "How?"
