Death... and me
chapter-2197

Even though the angels started to retreat, they already had many of their members in the Underworld and Realm of Gods. That said, they took several months to send everyone back, leaving the Temporal Path Behind. Finally, the Devils got a chance to organize in the Underworld and attack the Temporal Path Entrance.

The Angels were in very low numbers already after the majority left. The Archangels themselves didn't see a reason to continue there to guide the last bits of their forces, so they were long gone too. With that, getting rid of the Angels that were left behind was easy, and the Devils soon retook the Temporal Path Entrance.

Back in the Realm of Gods, the cultivators sniffed something wrong in the Temporal Path as well. After finding through their intelligence network that the Angels were retreating back to the Heavens, the cultivators immediately changed their target and sent most of their armies to the Temporal Path Entrance. Above anything else, they couldn't let the Devils take control of it once again.

The Devils, obviously, knew that their lifeline was in the Temporal Path. That said, Abaddon's group immediately took the frontlines to defend it while the Devils prepared to reenter the Realm of Gods. Unfortunately for them, they were truly lacking experts. Even the plan of breeding a Living Soul Devil wouldn't be of much use now since that took time. A Soul Devil wouldn't reach the level of an Elder Devil in just a day.

With so many Divinity Realm experts attacking the entrance at the same time, Abbadon and the others saw themselves forced to retreat further back into the Devils Territories in the Realm of Gods, allowing the entrance of the Temporal Path to fall into the hands of the Realm of Gods experts.

For the first time in countless years, none of the three Higher Realms had full control of the Temporal Path. The Devils controlled their entrance, the cultivators controlled the Realm of Gods, while the Angels obviously wouldn't let their own entrance fall into anyone's hands, even in their actual situation.

Placake positioned himself near the Temporal path with other Divinity Realm experts. The war was far from over, but they now definitely had the upper hand. "Folesve, how is it going?"

Folesve was the head of the Rambram Sect and also a Divinity Realm expert. "I negotiated with the Formations Guild. We have thousands of Formations Masters building a protection formation around the Temporal Path. We will never let it fall into the hands of the Devils again. Of course, the same goes for the angels."

None of the three powers of the Realm of Gods cared about who controlled the Temporal Path between them. After all, it simply led to the Underworld and the Heavens, which were not suitable places for their races to develop. The only thing that mattered was to prevent it from being used by the Angels and Devils to attack the Realm of Gods. In this regard, the three forces had a very good understanding of each other and weren't concerned.

Gludi-otta, a Divinity Realm Spirit, couldn't help but ask. "So, how about we announce the retaking of the Temporal Path? That sure will boost our armies' confidence. Knowing that no more Devils would be able to reinforce the enemies is great news."

Placake, Folesve, and the other Divinity Realm experts agreed with Gludi. "Sounds good enough."

It goes without saying that the news spread in a flash in the Realm of Gods with the help of the communication system. Usually, such a thing would only be known by the Realm after hundreds, if not thousands, of years later. It was simply too hard to reach all the corners in such a gigantic place. But now, it only took a few days for it to spread everywhere you could find a transmission tower of the communication system.

Of course, the majority of the Realm of Gods still didn't have access to the system, but there was no doubt it wouldn't continue like that for long.

A few weeks later, Placake's group saw that the desired effect was achieved. They also received the new version of the communication badge, which was bound to make the war efforts even more operational. The only problem was that since they diverted the armies to attack the Temporal Path, the Devils were given a chance to regroup and create a better defense in their territory.

Fosleve was dealing with a few issues in his room in the city surrounding the temporal path when suddenly, he received a Divine Sense Message. 'Sir, the protection formation is ready to be activated.'

His eyes lit up, and he quickly disappeared from the room. The next thing he saw, he was already far above the city, joined by the demon beasts, cultivators, and spirits at the Divinity Realm. They all received the same piece of news.

Everyone then nodded at Fosleve, who gave the final order. "Activate the Temporal Protection Formation!"

*Bzzzzzz...*

A monumental amount of Divine Energy began to move everywhere around the Temporal Path Entrance, big enough to give a shiver to any Divinity Realm expert. In a few minutes, all that energy converged at the center before a Dome-Like Barrier of Divine Energy, Spatial Power, and Elemental restriction took form little by little.

That formation had three main uses. Prevent anyone from destroying it. Seal all Spatial Power of those without permission to use it inside, and above all, completely remove Dark and Light Elements from inside. It is no secret that Devils and Angels need one or another to display their full potential, so how could the cultivators allow such elements to be used in the formation protecting the Temporal Path Entrance?

All races had joined together to pay for the construction of this marvel of a formation. They absolutely wouldn't commit the same mistake and let the Devils or Angels snatch part in their Realm of Gods ever again.

Seeing that everything worked according to the plan, Placake's expression turned serious. "Let's go. Time to get rid of the rest of the weed."
