Death… And Me

Chapter 956 - Why Didn\'t You Tell?

Inside the Bestial Sacred Ground, it was possible to see many cultivators and demon beasts at the Nascent Soul Realm or Stage Five making their way to the portal. After all, many of them were on the other side of the world when they heard about it. They spent over a week of constant travel, and there was definitely more coming at the current rate.

Rean\'s group ignored that, though. "Well then. I guess this is it.."

Malo and the others stayed in front of the portal to the Realm of Gods as they looked at Rean\'s group approaching it. "Until another time, Rean, Roan!"

Rean laughed in response, saying, "Definitely! Perhaps we\'ll see you up there in the future!"

Rean and the others then passed through the portal and were about to be enveloped by the spatial power when suddenly...

*Pin!*

[Detected a path to the Realm of Gods. Transfer coordinates secured. Initializing gathering of Soul Gem System links between hosts and other beings.]

It was then that Kentucky and Celis felt spatial power enveloping their bodies as they were dragged into the portal as well. "What the fuck?!"

He and Celis turned into a flash of silver light together with Rean\'s group before they all disappeared inside the portal. Of course, not before he heard a few words that made him feel like crying.

"Didn\'t Kentucky say he didn\'t want to go?" Malo asked, his expression slightly confused.

"Perhaps he couldn\'t bear to see the twins going away and changed his mind," Poliana said in response.

"Well, that must be the case." Wataba and Glennie nodded their heads in agreement.

Poor Kentucky. Only a tear was left behind as he vanished together with everyone else.

The spatial transfer was much, much longer this time. Besides, the system continued to work while it happened.

[Point of spatial intersection found, changing transfer direction.]

The twins\' group could only feel the change in spatial power acting on their bodies as they left the path followed by everyone else. Nevertheless, they couldn\'t do anything, nor did they want to. At the very least, they knew that the system wouldn\'t send them into some dangerous situation...or so they believed at least.

Because of the distance and difference between realms, the transfer took more than one hour to finish.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the middle of the skies as a spatial gate opened. Sadly, this place was in the middle of nowhere, so no one saw it.

*Vup, vup, vup, vup!*

Following that, four flashes of silver light came down from it. Those flashes then stopped above the ground before they took the form of two humans, one bird and one Demon Tree in human form. The twins couldn\'t tell what was happening during the transfer. They could at most talk to each other, so they didn\'t know how the others were faring.

Rean\'s group soon opened their eyes, just in time to see the spatial gate above their heads disappearing. There was also some spatial power that remained on their bodies that were quickly fading. However, they didn\'t care about that. Instead, it was the number of members of their group present that took their attention. "Wait! Where are Calina, Qia, and Zuo?"

Only then did Rean pay attention to the bird, asking in surprise, "Right! Why are you here as well?"

Kentucky continued to cry as he lamented, "I don\'t know! I didn\'t want to come. Something grabbed Celis and me and pulled us inside the fucking portal! I wanna go back!"

Celis didn\'t seem to mind it much. "Oh well, Realm of Gods or not, for me, it\'s fine." He then patted Kentucky\'s head, saying, "Don\'t worry, we will find more girls to worship you here as well."

Roan narrowed his eyes as he spread his Spiritual Sense, completely ignoring Kentucky and Celis. Immediately, he noticed that his Spiritual Sense couldn\'t go much further than a couple of meters. "Our Spiritual Sense is restrained in this place. However, I can\'t see the girls and my disciple at all."

Rean put Kentucky\'s issue on the back of his mind as he became worried about Qia. "Could it be that we were teleported somewhere else?"

Roan nodded, responding, "That\'s the only possible reason. You do remember that the system said something about finding new coordinates, right? After a while, it said it found the intersection point. That was probably the moment we were separated."

Rean\'s mind then entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, asking, \'Sister Orb, are you there?\'

[Of course!] Sister Orb answered. [However, don\'t ask me what happened. That was something the system decided by itself. By the way, you guys should brace yourselves. The spatial power protecting your bodies is about to disappear.]

Rean\'s group was confused to hear that. \'What do you mean by that?\'

That spatial power finally disappeared when suddenly...

*Arrrgh!*

Rean\'s group felt like their bodies were assaulted by countless needles. They all fell on the ground and contorted in pain. Surprisingly, even Celis, a Demon Tree, wasn\'t an exception. Naturally, whatever was happening affected much more than just their bodies.

[Well, there you go. The Divine Energy of the Realm of Gods is now entering your bodies. You can call it a baptism of sorts. It will change your bodies so that your reliance on Spiritual Energy changes to Divine Energy instead. Oh, by the way, there\'s no Spiritual Energy in the Realm of Gods, only Divine Energy.]

Rean and Roan felt like cracking the orb into a thousand pieces as they simultaneously asked, "What?! Why didn\'t you tell us that before?"

[Tee-hee!]

"Fuck you!" And so started the process to adapt to the new environment.
