Death… And Me Chapter 1939 The Sixth Race

Chapter 1939 The Sixth Race
Rean sighed in response but nodded in the end. "Fine! I'll take a look at it and see if I can implement something."
After that, Rean returned to his discussion with Havek through the communication system as well as other Formation Masters on the humanoid side. He wouldn't simply leave right now just as they had connected both sides.
Sure enough, the spirits did finish building their own communication formation. Or, to be more specific, they got it to reach Cramglot City, where the connection between the three races would happen. That was also the day that Rean first heard about Diblue.
"Diblue? So that's the spirit at the top of the Spirit Races?" he asked Rawor as the two worked on the Circuitry Formations.
"Yes," Rawor answered. "It was thanks to him that the spirits joined forces with the humanoids and demon beasts to fend off the devils when they first arrived. The spirits had always been kind of a peaceful bunch. If you didn't attack them, they wouldn't attack you either in most cases."
"Not only that, but the devils didn't attack the spirit races' territories at first, expecting the spirits to do nothing. Fortunately, Diblue understood the peril and convinced the other spirit races to join the humanoid and demon beast races. There would be no future for the spirits if they let the humanoids and demon beasts lose the battle. After that, the tides finally changed, and the three races forced the devils to the northwest side of the Realm of Gods."
"I see..." Rean didn't know that but had to admit it was quite interesting.
Unsurprisingly, Rean's girl, Fay, was there as well. Rean taught her formations, and she was quite good at it, just like him and Qia.
Qia was also helping with the formations, but she was in another location at the moment.
It didn't matter, though. It was Fay that brought out a question that neither Rean nor Roan had bothered to ask before. "Senior Rawor. There's one thing I don't understand. Humanoids have the southeast, spirits the southwest, and demon beasts the northwest. In that case... who was in the northeast before the devils arrived?"
"This..." Rawor paused his work for a moment. "I don't know..." He wasn't lying. The fight to keep the safety of the three races was something that happened a long time ago. He wasn't born yet at that time. Not to mention he had never thought about it.
Rean could not help but mull over it as well. How come he had never thought about it before? He knew the devils weren't there before, after all. "Spirits, demon beasts, humanoids, devils, and angels. Don't tell me there was another force there, right? If there was, we would at least have seen some of their members on our sides that survived or didn't participate in the battle."
"Even if you say that, I don't have an answer," replied Rawor. "At least, I've never seen anyone from other races. Well, I've never had the chance to see an angel either, only the devils. Now, a sixth power... I don't think they existed."
Rean took that chance to ask Roan through their Soul Connection, just for Roan to narrow his eyes. He then came out of the Dimensional Realm, just where Rean was working, to see Rawor as well. "Who was in the northeast side before...? How come I've never thought about it..." Still, Roan shook his head. "No, I think the right question is, who is there now?'
Rean understood what Roan meant and spoke to Rawor and Fay. "He's right. Devils came to the Realm of Gods to try and conquer it for the souls, right? They need it to improve their cultivation. I do remember someone saying that they're even controlling the number of lives in the northeast side so that they would never run out of souls to use."
Rawor nodded in response. "Then it shouldn't be another race. Otherwise, we would know about that. It has to be humanoids, spirits, or demon beasts. It can't be angels since the devils' cultivation methods don't match with the angels' souls."
"Oh! Is that so?" Rean didn't know that detail, not that it mattered that much at the moment. 'It might be of some use in the future, though,' he thought.
Roan continued to think about this and decided to ask the Dragon Race. "Rawor, can you ask your elders if they know who's there on the devils' side? It would be good to know to prepare for the day the three races decide to attack."
Rawor nodded in response as he saw merit behind Roan's concern. It was the System Sect that was building the communication system, after all. "I believe Frasco knows it. Let me call him."
Frasco was another Dragon Race member, although he didn't have a thick enough bloodline to be a Divine Demon Beast. Nevertheless, his cultivation was quite high, and he had lived for a very long time. He was also assigned to the System Sect to help with his knowledge of the demon beasts' territories, so he was close at the moment. A few minutes later, he arrived where Rean was working with Rawor, Fay, and the other Formation Masters.
After hearing their question, he sighed and began to explain. "Now, that brings me memories. Believe it or not, a sixth race existed. It wasn't just humanoids, demon beasts, spirits, devils, and angels."
"It wasn't?" Fay understood the past sentence. "So they've been wiped out? Or could be they're the ones having their souls extracted?"
Rean, Roan, and Rawor were curious about the same thing.
"At the moment, it's definitely demon beasts, spirits, and humanoids who are having their souls being used in the Northeast," Frasco started to explain. "These are mostly the descendants of the same races who lived there in the past. Yet, the northeast was a different place. It was a region where the three races had a similar amount of power, just below the sixth race itself, which controlled the northeast. They were called the Essence Races. As for whether there are any of them alive or not, that I do not know."
