Death... and me

Sure enough, everything began to fall down as the seawater from outside came in nonstop. Well, the twins’ group wasn’t too worried. Just dirt and water falling on them couldn’t be considered a dangerous thing. In any case, they quickly jumped on Kentucky, who flew to the ceiling before they began to excavate once again.

Not too long after, they exited into the sea once again. Havek was already in the Void Tempering Realm, so he also helped with his spatial powers. Eventually, the twins’ group left the tunnel they were in, shooting to the surface.

Underneath them, the ground continued to cave in as the entire area was affected. All the tunnels crumbled one after another, falling into the space that was previously the underground area.

”Let’s leave this place before we catch someone’s attention,” Roan immediately suggested.

Kentucky then emerged from the seawater before he flew away from the area.

A few minutes later, several cultivators that had been investigating the sudden reappearance of the Upside Down World’s beings appeared. However, other than the now nonexistent underground area, they didn’t find anything else. The system’s Destiny Avoidance Mode seemed to be working already.

A few days later, Rean’s group finally reached an inhabited island. Thanks to the fact that Havek was a Sea Chilling Spirit, he could hide his presence from anyone that he did not want him to see. As for the twins, they also changed their appearance since they didn’t want to be recognized by old residents of the Upside Down World. Last but not least, Kentucky was sent into the Dimensional Realm, where Celis was also making good use of the Divine Stones.

They didn’t stay there for long, though. After resupplying and acquiring a map of the area, the twins’ group left the city and used Kentucky to fly to the Continental Barrier separating Pol and Xinfia Continent. They had teleported using the lake closest to it. Nevertheless, the travel took another three months to be concluded.

”So, we’re finally here…” Rean looked at the enormous continental barrier in the distance.

Havek couldn’t help but say, “It’s impressive regardless of how many times I see this thing.” It was then that he asked, “I’ve been so focused on talking about formations with Rean that I forgot to ask. Just how do you intend to pass through this thing?”

Rean’s group then looked at Luan. Or, to be more specific, his forehead. “Kibin, you should know where we are, right? How about coming out?”

Suddenly, Luan’s forehead shone with Divine Energy before a Kibin Spirit came out of it. The Fish-Bird Spirit seemed to have increased in size slightly, though. Not that the twins minded it.

Kibin then looked at the Continental Barrier and said, “That was fast. I thought I would be able to sleep for at least two decades before you guys reached this Continental Barrier.”

Havek was surprised to see that. “Another Spirit? I didn’t expect to see another one so soon. To think this guy had been traveling with us so far.”

Kibin also looked at Havek and said, “A Sea Chilling Spirit?” Obviously, as spirits themselves, they could see each other. “Why is there such a low-level spirit race here?”

Rean looked at Havek and asked, “Are Sea Chilling Spirits considered low-level spirits?”

Havek didn’t mind confirming it. “Pretty much. There’s no point hiding it since a Kibin is here. In any case, this is the first time I’ve seen one.” Havek then looked at the Kibin and asked, “Hey, Kibin is just your race’s name. What’s your own name?”

The Kibin noticed that he had never mentioned that. “Oh! That’s true. You guys can call me Fluki.” He then changed the topic. “You still haven’t told me why a Sea Chilling Spirit is here.”

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. “Havek is a friend of ours. We will be traveling together from now on.”

Havek could tell what Fluki was worried about. “It seems like you don’t know what my Sea Chilling Spirit Race cultivates on. Don’t worry. Unlike your Kibin Race, we have absolutely nothing to do with virtues. Although there are a few annoying things to pay attention to, our Sea Chilling Spirit race is basically reliant on Water Element materials.”

Kibin was happy to hear that. “Well, if that’s the case, then I have nothing against you.” Eventually, he turned his attention back to the Continental Barrier. “Do you want to go through it now? Although I have been in Luan’s head for only a few years, I have to admit your virtues are very tasty. I made quite some progress in my cultivation. As thanks, I won’t ask anything for taking you through it.”

Rean laughed in response. “You wouldn’t be able to ask anything even if you wanted to. After all, those were your father’s orders.”

Fluki obviously didn’t like Rean’s words, saying, “Hmph! But he isn’t here now.”

Roan didn’t have patience for their nagging, though. “Alright, enough bullshit. Fluki, bring us over to the Xinfia Continent.”

Somehow, Rean felt that Roan seemed a lot more relaxed now. ‘Seems like the Destiny Avoidance Mode put his mind at ease.’

Fluki didn’t waste time as his size increased to the point he was as big as Kentucky. Soon after, he opened his mouth and put the twins’ group inside. It looked pretty much like what happened back in the Huring Continent.

With that, Fluki dove inside the Continental Barrier, swimming inside it as if the Chaotic Divine Energy and Elements meant nothing to him. If anything, he seemed quite comfortable there.

Without anything to hold them back, the twins’ group arrived on the other side a few hours later. And so, they finally arrived at Xinfia Continent.
