Death... and me

Chapter 3459: The Path

Rean took the device from Roan, looking at it closely and analyzing it with his Divine Sense. "I can see the rune designs of some of my Formations Masters from back then. Seems like the guys I brought from Earth have improved quite a lot for them to be present in this project."

"Well, Earth was a technological planet, after all. Even though the presence of Garisan has now boosted our advancement, it was a lot easier for those guys you got from Earth to learn about everything Garisan brought over," Celis confirmed.

Rean made a few seals in the air, which quickly disappeared inside the Device. In the next second, a small slot opened, which was an entrance for connection, like a USB port. Following that, Rean brought out another device of his own from the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm, connecting it to the port.

Many chunks of information began to pass by Rean’s eyes nonstop, but he seemed to understand everything in there. Finally, he smiled. "Hehe! Seems like my wife and daughter are also involved in this thing." He knew those two and knew their traits, which he easily found within the many lines of code.

Rean unplugged the cable, giving the device back to Roan. "Well, it is safe and very well designed. It is definitely several steps behind compared to the devices we can find here in the Werdlem Empire, but no doubt our Lisan Universe is taking the right steps forward."

Roan took it, asking Celis in the next second. "You said nearby paths can be detected, right? How far can it detect them? Also, do you also have the Device for the Heavens?"

"I do," Celis took another one out, this device having a White Crystal and a lot of Life Energy instead. "Same thing, if it is a Temporal Path connected to the Heavens, this one will detect i-"

*Beep!*

Suddenly, the device’s crystal began to shine, and a white light began to point in a specific direction in that same Canyon they were staying at the moment. "Well... that was unexpected..."

The twins and Kentucky approached it, looking at how it worked. "There is a Pseudo-Temporal Path connected to the Heavens here?"

Celis looked in the direction the device was pointing, nodding his head. "It seems to be the case. However, these devices were made to work in the Lisan Universe. I can’t 100% guarantee that what they are detecting is what they really were designed for. By the way, I have a few more samples inside my Pocket Dimensional Realm, so don’t worry about breaking this one."

"Leaving that aside," Rean also looked in the same direction. "What do we do? If we find an entrance to the Heavens, should we leave the Divine Snow World through there?"

"The reason we want to go to the Underworld is to find the location where all Light Element accumulates, right? Unless there is something similar for Dark Element in the Heavens, I don’t see much of a reason to do so, especially since we don’t know if we can come back later," Kentucky commented.

"But that also applies to the Underworld..." Rean pondered a bit. "What guarantees that we will find the place where Light Element accumulates? No, first of all, that was a phenomenon of the Lisan Universe, wasn’t it? It is very possible that such a thing doesn’t happen in the Underworld of this Universe. In that case, going to the Underworld would also be meaningless."

The big problem was the huge difference between Light and Dark Elements. Rean needed one, Roan needed the other, while Kentucky needed both. If one was lacking, it would instead hinder Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis’ cultivation speed, regardless if the opposite element was abundant.

Their group fell into a dilemma. There was no guarantee that neither the Heavens nor the Underworld had a place where the Dark or Light Element of the entire realm concentrated.

"If just we weren’t inside the Divine Snow World..." Rean couldn’t help but sigh.

"Why?" The others looked at him, puzzled.

Rean then explained. "Isn’t that obvious? The Divine Snow World Network exists inside a bubble; we can’t get information about the rest of the Universe or the Werdlem Empire while in here. If we were outside, we could easily access the Werdlem Network and search whether the Underworld or Heavens had the place we were looking for."

Well, going to the underworld was a gamble to start with, but after these points were brought up, they hesitated to go to any of those two.

"Hum... how about this," Kentucky thought of something. "We go to the Heavens through this Temporal Path our device detected. As soon as we arrive, we don’t go anywhere. We simply access the Werdlem Network and check if the place we need exists there. If it does, we stay in the Heavens. If it doesn’t, we return to the Divine Snow World and use the Divine Snow Mountain Sect Escape Plan to leave this place."

Rean, Roan, and Celis had to admit Kentucky’s plan was reasonable. There shouldn’t be a problem accessing the Werdlem Empire’s Network if they are there. As far as they knew, the bubble only existed in the Divine Snow World.

"Alright, then let’s do it like Kentucky said," Roan quickly decided. "I was going to suggest we stay here for a while and have Celis help us cultivate, only moving out once we reached the Space-Bending Realm. We would waste some Starlight Energy Stones, but it would be safer. However, Pseudo Temporal Paths are unstable and can close at any moment. We better check the Heavens first before stopping to cultivate."

"Alright!" No one had any complaints. Soon, Kentucky returned to his Minokawa Form while Celis, Rean, and Roan jumped on his back. Finally, Kentucky took flight and flew in the direction the device pointed at.

"By the way," Celis added on the go, "The detection range of the device is between two to five thousand kilometers. It varies depending on the obstacles and the environment. Still, from what I can see in the device, this one is just a thousand kilometers away or so."

Kentucky smiled. "Then we will get there in no time. Hold on, we will cover this distance in a blink!"

Sure enough, flying at full speed, Kentucky didn’t take long to arrive at the destination. Or, to be more precise, to arrive right above it. The Pseudo Temporal Path seemed to have taken form underground.
