Death... and me
chapter-2177

Inside the Dimensional Realm, Zutuk was able to feel the much higher concentration of Divine Energy, which truly excited him. "This is so good..." The Dimensional Realm always has several times more Divine Energy than the outside world, thanks to Celis, so it was obviously much better. Of course, it couldn't compare to the usage of Divine Stones directly.

Celis was quite happy to have a sentient Demon Beast inside since all Demon BEasts so far were still below the Transition Realm. That meant he didn't need to organize the Red Luan's race and simply gave Zutuk an explanation of how things worked.

Zutuk was obviously surprised to see another Divine being but quickly adapted. He accepted Celis's orders and controlled his race members to spread around the mountain range given to them. Right after, he made a nest for himself and didn't waste time. Who knows if Rean suddenly decides to throw him away? He needs to take advantage of this enormous amount of Divine Energy as much as possible. He even felt that he could now surpass the famous Transition Realm that no other Demon Beast he knew was ever able to.

With things arranged, Rean and Kentucky returned to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. After all, it was pretty obvious that they wouldn't find any more information in the outside world. They were just way too far away from the Center. Even if Kentucky flew at top speed nonstop, it would probably take hundreds of years before they finally arrived close enough to a Demon Beast continent that had a Teleport Formation. And that was just an estimation. Perhaps it would take less, but it might as well take even longer.

They all sat near Celis and began to discuss. "So what do we do now? Shall we start traveling even though it will take forever to get to the Center?"

"That wouldn't be that bad of an idea, would it?" Celis asked. "That meant I would be cultivating with the Divine Origin Energy Cores all the way. By the time we get there, we should all be in the Elemental Space Realm already. No, with this much Divine Energy and myself in the mix, it wouldn't be a dream to go all the way to the Space-Time Realm!"

Of course, getting that much stronger would be great. However, the twins didn't forget that the Realm of Gods and Underworld were in a war for the Northeast side of the Center of the Realm of Gods. They found out about it after coming out of the Swamp of No Return, so it would be a lie if they said they weren't worried about Calina, Qia, and their kids.

"We can't take that long. There has to be a way..." Rean couldn't help but mention.

Celis didn't say anything else after that. In the end, for him, it didn't really matter whether they took longer or not. He is happy as long as he can keep cultivating.

It was then that Roan spoke. "We need to open a Spatial Gate."

As mentioned before, Spatial Gates can be used to travel enormous distances, just like Teleport Formations. Better yet, there was no need to have another Teleport Formation on the other side for it to be used. However... "Spatial Gates can only be opened at the Space-Time Realm, you know?" Kentucky mentioned. No one there had this capability.

Sister Orb understood where Roan was coming from. [So you intend to buy that upgrade now, right?]

Rean also picked up the clue. "I see... You want to buy the Time Acceleration Upgrade."

The twins had another option in the upgrade list that would be able to accelerate the time inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. However, according to Sister Orb, the amount of time acceleration depended on how much Divine Energy was used. Naturally, if Divine Stones were used to fuel this feature, the time acceleration would be even higher. It's just that they didn't know how much faster they could get with the energy available to them now.

Celis, obviously, didn't like the idea even a bit. "You can't be thinking about using my Divine Origin Energy Cores, right?" Even if the time accelerated inside the Dimensional Realm, for Celis, it would be as if nothing was happening while inside. Whether he spent a thousand years cultivating in an accelerated time or in a normal time, the fact was that he would experience a thousand years nonetheless. It goes without saying that he would rather not use his Divine Origin Energy Cores for anything else other than cultivation.

Unfortunately for him, that was exactly what Roan intended to do. Even if the time he experienced while cultivating was the same, the fact was that not too long would pass outside. Once they were able to open a Spatial Gate, everything else won't matter. They could depart for the Center of the Realm of Gods straight away. "Seems like you understood the plan."

"No! I won't let you! They are mine!" Celis obviously refused.

Rean patted Celis with a sad expression. "Sorry, bro. But it is necessary. Maybe not for you, but definitely for us."

Celis still wanted to refuse. But then again, this is the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. The twins could do whatever they wanted with the items inside. "Well... fuck!"

Kentucky then raised his wing. "What about we use this time to gather some Demon Beasts in this region to fill the Dimensional Realm? You saw how marveled Zutuk was, so I'm pretty sure the other Transition Realm Demon Beasts would jump straight at the opportunity to live in here."

Rean and Roan had nothing to complain about that plan. "Sure, why not? We will leave this task up to you, Kentucky. Go talk to Zutuk and see where you can find the other Transition Realm Demon Beasts. Try to bring their races with them as well."

"On it!" Kentucky immediately rushed to the Red Luan's Mountain range. He truly didn't want to stay stuck in the Dimensional Realm for years again.

"I accept anything Father and Uncle decide," Luan didn't mind it at all and just took the twins' side.

With that settled, Rean and Roan approached the Soul Gem Orb and accessed the Upgrade List.
