Chapter 2443: New Additions

Yet, Rean was disappointed with one thing. "I always thought that after these hundreds, maybe even thousands of years, there would be flying cars by now. Yet, even though everything looks quite modern... but no car is flying. So disappointing..."

Kentucky looked at Rean. "Flying... what? What is a car?"

Rean smiled and shook his head. "Forget it."

Rean's city had grown a lot. Before, it didn't have more than a hundred thousand inhabitants or so. Yet now, Rean was sure at least a few million lived there. That wasn't all. All the nearby cities had grown as well. If this trend was the same around the world, then this planet definitely had a lot more than just eight billion people now.

Rean tried to remember where his house was located. His family wasn't rich or anything like that, so they had a pretty common house in the suburbs. Well, that was until he moved out to live in an apartment. He was over thirty already by the time he died, after all. Where would you see a grown man still living with his parents after 30?

Of course, Rean completely ignored where his apartment was located. He wanted to check the place where his parents lived instead. "Hum... this is quite hard. Everything is just way too different from before."

Kentucky looked around from high up in the sky. "A few hundred or thousand years is far from enough to change the landscape too much. Why don't you use the mountains and hills around to determine where it was located, more or less?"

Rean nodded and looked around, trying to find the mountain in the distance. He remembered there was indeed a hill somewhere near the back of his parent's house, too. If humans didn't purposely excavate it out, it should still be there. "Oh, there it is!"

Rean used the presence of a few mountains far in the distance and the hill to identify his location. When he looked in the direction where the suburb was supposed to be located, all he found was countless apartment buildinds. Even the hill itself had quite a few of these. As for common houses, Rean couldn't see a single one several kilometers around that location.

"Well, I guess this was to be expected," he murmured for a moment. Nonetheless, he didn't give up. He came down and landed near a movimented street. Of course, he had his Light Bending Skill activated, so for everyone else, he was completely invisible. "From what I can remember, my parent's house was somewhere around this place..."

Kentucky was very curious about the city around. He had never seen something like that. Even when they went back to the Zasfins Planet, which had evolved a lot after Rean introduced the Circuitry Formations, things weren't this 'modern.'

"Rean, shouldn't you take this chance to bring a few people from this planet to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm?" Kentucky couldn't help but ask.

Rean looked at Kentucky, confused. "Bring some of them? Why?"

"You told me yourself. What you knew about technology was basically what you had learned back before you died. Yet, you weren't anywhere near knowledgeable about such things, knowing nothing but the very basics and most common information that most people also knew about on this planet. Now that you are here, you could totally acquire a few of the top experts in this 'technology' field you mentioned so many times," Kentucky explained.

Rean's eyes lit up, knowing Kentucky was right. Rean could tell how much technology evolved during the time he was out, and that was without the support of cultivation energies. There were many devices around him that he didn't recognize, and they seemed to do a lot of different types of work. He even saw a few robots here and there. Back then, the 'robot' trend was something that was literally just starting. Now, they were pretty common. "Now that you mentioned it, I have to admit it is a great idea."

Of course, Rean wouldn't do that now. "But before that, let's focus on our objective for being here." Rean then looked in a certain direction and began to walk. "Come with me."

A few minutes later, Rean arrived in front of another one of those huge apartment buildings. He took a look around, checking his memories and nodded. "Yes, this is it. This is the place where my parents' house was located. If not, it is at least very close."

Kentucky didn't see anything much different from the other buildings around. "So...? What exactly are we looking for? Can't see anything related to an Archangel."

Rean narrowed his eyes. Indeed, so what if he got here? The house was gone, and anyone living in this building now most likely had absolutely nothing to do with his parents anymore. "Hum... I'll try to use my Divine Sense."

"Is that okay?" Kentucky asked back.

Rean nodded. "I'll spread it up to a few kilometers, enough to cover this building and a good portion of the city's underground. If there is truly an expert in this place, then I can only consider myself unlucky. Well, even if there is, there is nothing saying it is an enemy to start with. Besides, did you forget? If there was really an expert that could threaten us within these few kilometers, he would appear inside our Spatial Natural Perception."

Kentucky raised his guard and prepared to return to his Minokawa form at any second. "We have been to places where even the Natural Spatial Perception is messed up, so I'm going to be ready in any case."

Rean nodded and got ready, too. The Ruins of the Stars was a place where Natural Spatial Perception could be deceived, and since his father was a crew member of that spaceship, there was a chance of it happening here, too.

Rean and Kentucky nodded, and Rean's Divine Sense spread, covering an area of around 30 kilometers or so. Above the ground, everything was as normal as it gets. However, underground...
