Chapter 107


    Back on the first floor of the alchemist''s pagoda, Omis, Lu Lu, Ss and Dina sat around arge table in the middle of the hall, numerous dishes and drinks rested on the table.


    Mace had long since left to continue his investigation concerning the strange movements of ''The Hive'' leaving behind the group at Dina''s as they waited for Lu Lu to fully recover.


    The group stayed for a week before Omis was entirely sure that Lu Lus condition was perfect.


    In their time there, Omis was amazed to find out that the little alchemist was surprisingly a great cook. Once Lu Lu was up, she had insisted on making a feast for the group. And ever since then, she had taken it on herself to cook various meals for them.


    Turning his head to look at the golem statues standing far away by the wall, Omis couldn''t resist the urge to ask.


    "I don''t seem to sense any cultivation from them?" While golems were artificially made, they still possessed a certain amount of intelligence depending on their cultivation level.


    Before heaven''s fall, it wouldn''t have been strange to find golems who have reached the immortal stage. Yet the ones standing by the wall didn''t appear to have any cultivation powers whatsoever.


    ncing over, Dina replied nonchntly.


    "Oh, I suppose you could consider them my servants. They help keep this ce clean and asionally help me make food. No need for them to cultivate" She said while pointing at the feastid on the table.


    "It''s delicious as always!" Said Lu Lu as she lightly wiped her mouth.


    "En, Im still surprised, I didnt take you to be such a great cook." Smiled Omis.


    "Oh, dear stop, you''ll make me turn red with all yourpliments." She giggled in reply.


    "What do we do now master Omis?" Suddenly asked Ss who been silent for all this while.


    "I was thinking to head back to the ''Underworld''," answered Omis.


    Nodding, Ss continued.


    "It would be for the best to share your story with Dina as well master Omis, she has the right to know." He said with a serious face.


    "Oh?" curious, Dina nced at Omis without saying anything.


    "Yes, it''s only natural since we are all in this together." nodded Omis before slowly recounting his journey to Dina, he briefly exined everything from ''The Hive'' to ''the Outsiders'' and ''The Hunters''.


    ******


    "I-I don''t quite know what to say." said a shocked Dina.


    "I realize how ridiculous all of this sounds, but it''s the truth," replied Omis in a somber tone.


    "Master, does that mean the recent movements of the hunters against the Hive?" Worriedly asked Lu Lu.


    "Yes, it looks like a war is about to break out." He gravely said.


    "The scale of such war if it was to truly break out, would be unfathomable." Added Ss.


    Shaking her head, Dina continued with a frown.


    "We could potentially be looking at another ''heaven''s fall'' level disaster."


    pping her hand, the Golems that were on standby swiftly rushed to clean the table before she continued.


    "If possible, I do not want to move from here, nor do I want to get involved in another war. But as things stand, I''m afraid we will get dragged into this whether we like it or not."


    Nodding, Omis nced at Ss who was nervously fidgeting around, his mind seemingly upied by something else. Sensing his gaze, he turned to look back at him before speaking.


    "I am concerned for the safety of my sect, so I will have to take my leave first master Omis." Said Ss.


    "I understand, I don''t think you would run into any trouble for now, as it seems like the first stage of this war would be fought in heavens, nheless, you should be careful my friend. " Solemnly said Omis, to which Ss gave a serious nod of acknowledgment.


    "What''s the n after?" Asked Ss.


    "I think we should all regroup back in ''The underworld'' first." Interrupted Dina.


    "Dina''s right, our best chance is to gather all our forces first before we make any decisions." Nodded Omis in agreement.


    "So be it, I will return to my sect first and make sure they are safe and can care for themselves before I join you." Replied Ss as he stood up.


    Following him, Omis pushed his chair back and looked at the man before giving him a light smile.


    "Master, Ss. Thank you, for everything." He sincerely said, before giving a deep bow.


    Flustered, Ss hurried to help him raise his head before speaking.


    "Master Omis, please raise your head! It was my honor! I''ll be seeing you soon." He smiled as he extending his hand towards Omis who firmly shook it.


    "I''ll be seeing you." replied Omis with a firm nod.


    Turning around towards Dina, Ss gave her a quick hug.


    "Stay safe my dear." She said, to which he simply nodded before patting Lu Lu on the head with a gentle smile.


    "I''ll see you soon." He said as he gazed at the trip before swiftly taking his leave from the pagoda and in direction to his sect.


    "I guess I should also clean up as get ready to leave." Said Dina with a sigh.


    *****


    Soon the trio found themselves standing outside of the three stories pagoda, as Dina softly muttered a strange spell causing it to abruptly shrink down in size until it reached that of a palm. After which she simply grabbed it and threw it inside her dimension storage.


    "That''s handy." Said Omis impressed, to which Dina simply gave a wide grin.


    Omis then nced at Lu Lu who was standing next to him, her hand grabbing the helm of his robe while her eyes were still glued on him as if afraid he would suddenly disappear.


    He smiled before gently patting her head.


    "I''m here child, and I won''t be going anywhere." He softly spoke causing a wide smile to bloom on her face as she nodded.


    "How cute." Amused, Dina smiled as she watched over the scene.


    Letting out a light cough, Omis spoke.


    "Well then, shall we go?"


    "Yes, Master!" Said Lu Lu with enthusiasm, she did not care where they had to go as long as she was with her master.


    "After you my dear." Answered Dina.


    Soon, the trio quickly turned into three beams of zing light as they soared towards the sky, leaving behind the mortal ne, their destination, ''The Underworld''.
