Chapter 1520 - To the Lake

In the end, the twins opted to let Celis out of the Dimensional Realm. After all, it would be good to have someone at the peak of Stage Eight to help them if necessary. It's just that they had to go somewhere else, away from Tranquio Sect, since they couldn't explain Celis's sudden appearance. The excuse they used was that Celis was someone who got caught in the Salt Sweep from another time, and they found him just now. Well, whether the others believed it or not wasn't their problem.

After that, the twins sent Luan and Kentucky straight into the Dimensional Realm, keeping them safe for the moment. Eventually, their group decided to take a look at the colorful lake.

Rean approached the water and used his Divine Sense to check it, muttering, "Such a weird thing. Divine Energy disperses inside it."

Roan nodded. "You mentioned that the white powder was probably made with Divine Stones. Could it be that you were wrong?"

Celis answered that question, saying, "It's too early to say. Did you forget? It was the white river that gave birth to the white powder. Perhaps the white river used crushed Divine Stones for that, especially since it was filled with Divine Energy."

Roan had to admit Celis's words made sense. "Indeed. However, now we don't have access to that anymore. Well, it's not like we can't leave this place anytime we want."

Roan was right. The twins could indeed leave the Upside Down World as long as they wished to. One must remember that now that the Dimensional Realm was open, they had access to the Circuitry Teleport Formation. That thing could teleport the twins up to a thousand kilometers away in any direction. It's just that the landing point would highly depend on their luck.

"The problem is which side we would teleport to, right? The gravity in this place is messed up. We have no idea which side is up or down. Not to mention that we might not be in the Realm of Gods at the moment, but instead, in another Dimensional Realm. In any case, it wouldn't be the first time that happened. Last but not least, let's consider that the barrier covering this place extends for over a thousand kilometers. We would teleport directly into it and die because of its power." Rean quickly listed all the issues with using the Circuitry Teleport Formation. That's why they didn't think about using it straight away.

Roan then changed the subject, telling the others, "Okay, let's get the 'Divine Water' for now and send it into the Dimensional Realm."

'Sister Orb, can you prepare a small well in the Dimensional Realm for us? We will store the lake's water there,' Rean asked.

[Sure. Give me one second.] Sister Orb then opened a deep hole and made it so that the lake water wouldn't escape to the soil. In the Dimensional Realm, she was god, so she could do anything she wanted to the environment. [Alright, can you see it?]

Roan nodded. 'Yes. There it goes.' Roan touched the lake water after that, and immediately, several liters of the colored lake water, the 'Divine Water,' disappeared. It continued nonstop, creating a small torrent around Roan's hand. "Fortunately, the Dimensional Realm only uses the power of space to move things. If it used Divine Energy for the teleportation, the lake water would disperse all of it."

Some people looked curiously at Roan as it was quite obvious how much water he was taking for himself. However, several people used the lake water for things more than just transforming the statues back. Although Roan seemed to be taking way too much, no one really bothered about that. That's because the lake always filled itself up even if they didn't do anything.

[Alright, the well is filled up.] Sister Orb told Roan.

Roan nodded and couldn't help but become interested in that water. "This thing might be a lot more useful than you think."

"How come?" Celis asked.

Rean understood what Roan meant, though. "It can disperse Divine Energy. Touch the Divine Water, and you'll feel it. There is absolutely no Divine Energy whatsoever inside it. There are many things that rely on Divine Energy in the Realm of Gods that we might get access to if we use this water. For example, formations."

Celis was surprised to hear that. "Oh! Now that you say that, it does seem quite useful. No wonder you took so much of it."

Roan nodded, saying in response, "There is enough Divine Water there to last us for hundreds of years now."

Rean then decided to check the lake after that. 'Sister Orb, can you feel any formations in the lake? After all, we got sent into this Upside Down World through this thing.'

[It's hard to tell. Our Divine Sense also doesn't work inside because of the Divine Energy dispersal effect. Then again, if there was anything inside, others would have found it already, right? First of all, did you get teleported into the lake, or was it some other method of transportation? Even if it was a teleport formation that sent you over, the lake might simply be the other end of it.]

Rean narrowed his eyes before he decided to enter the lake. Sure enough, he felt that all the Divine Energy around his body disappeared as the Divine Energy in his dantian seemed to escape. Immediately, Rean sealed his own Divine Energy in his body so that it wouldn't leak. "Well, I can only swim down there and take a look."

Roan and Celis looked at each other and nodded after that. "We'll wait here, just in case. You're the only one who knows anything about formations, after all. Use your connection to tell us if anything happens."

Rean nodded in response and immediately dove down into the lake water. He didn't have a problem breathing since his dantian had more than enough Divine Energy to sustain himself. Sure, he couldn't bring it out, but he could at least use it in his own body.

The lake was quite deep as Rean had to swim over half a kilometer down. "This should be the place where the statues appear, according to Xuve's words."
