Death... and me

Chapter 1630 No Way Through

Since the twins didn’t need to recruit anyone anymore, they arrived at the continental barrier just a day before Destiny Avoidance Mode was turned off. However, that didn’t matter much at the moment. “What do you mean you can’t enter it?” asked Roan, who was inside Fluki’s body.

Fluki then distanced himself a bit from the barrier before pulling Roan and Luan out of his body. Of course, Rean was watching it from the Dimensional Realm. Eventually, Fluki explained, “There’s some kind of power that’s preventing me from diving into it. Doesn’t matter what I do. I won’t be able to enter this thing. At the very least, not at my level.”

Roan narrowed his eyes in response. “So this is something to prevent even the spirits that live in the continental barrier from passing through, right?”

Fluki nodded, explaining, “That’s correct. I heard my father talking about it before. Only the strongest continents of this region of the Realm of Gods had access to this method. Well, our region and all the continents in it aren’t nothing more than a grain of sand in the desert, though. From what my father said, there were only five continents with this capability, although he didn’t tell me which one they were. Obviously, this Jhiod Continent is one of them.”

That made things a lot easier to believe for the twins. So far, they worked on the rumor that Jhiod Continent was related to some of the big powers of the Center of the Realm of Gods. Now that they found out about their capability of stopping spirits inside the continental barrier, it became very possible for the rumor to be true. After all, none of the continents they passed by had this kind of power.

However, the problem still remained. “Fluki, did your father tell you how to get past this blockage?”

Fluki nodded, replying, “He did, but it’s impossible for me to do that. Simply put, we could use brute force to go through this barrier, but I would need a level of cultivation at least four realms above what I am at the moment. Just so you know, I’m in the Middle Stage of the Transition Realm at the moment. So, unless you guys want to wait a few thousands of years, you better not try to rely on it.”

Thousands of years? The twins didn’t even know the name of the level four realms above to start with. Depending on circumstances, it might take tens of thousands of years instead. By then, it would be much better to start traveling to the center of the Realm of Gods on foot. “Out of the question. We will need to find some other way to pass through this barrier.”

Luan, who was listening to the conversation, couldn’t help but ask, “Can’t we use father’s Dark Element to inhibit this power that doesn’t let Fluki dive inside?”

Roan immediately shook his head, telling him, “You’re forgetting a very important point. The continental barrier has chaotic Divine Energy and Elements. That means it also has Dark Element running inside it. My Dark Element won’t change anything in there. At most, my Dark Element is purer than the barrier, but that’s about it.”

Fluki agreed with Roan. “He’s correct. First of all, Roan would never be able to gather as much Dark Element as the continental barrier on his own. Since the power used to block me affects the entire barrier, it obviously accounts for the Dark Element inside. I’m sorry, but you guys will have to find some other method to pass through or simply give up entering Jhiod altogether.”

Following that, Fluki entered Luan’s forehead once again. “Anyways, let me know if you need something else from me.” He didn’t say anything else after that.

The twins’ group didn’t mind it, though. Their agreement was for Fluki to help them pass through the barriers. That was all. Since he couldn’t do that, he didn’t need to do anything else. “What do we do now?”

Roan shrugged his shoulders, saying, “What else? Did you forget what Erithean said back in the Huring Sacred Land?” Back in the Sacred Land, Erithean was the only one who knew that the twins came from the Realm of Mortals. He also helped them get rid of the traces that showed the twins weren’t born in the Realm of Gods. 

In any case, it was Erithean that told the twins the rumors about Jhiod having some connections with some big powers in the Center of Realm of Gods. After that, he explained to the twins the path they should take to arrive in Jhiod, and that’s how the twins got here in the first place by following his words.

Last and most importantly, Erithean told the twins about the official openings of the continental barriers to connect with each continent. Lanqueas to Yubisval was 25 years, Yubisval to Treavin was 15 years, Treavin to Pol took 8 years, while Pol to Xinfia only took 12 years. Xinfia to Aefer was the shortest, only 3 years between each opening. Aefer to Hiwer took 7 years, Hiwer to Lebgram opened every 20 years, and finally, Lebgram to Jhiod opened every 9 years.

That meant the twins would need to wait at most nine years to use the official passage… as if! Only the authorized personnel were able to use these official passages when they opened. Rean and Roan, obviously, had nothing similar to that authorization. The powers of the Lebgram continent didn’t even know the twins existed, let alone think about giving them a chance to go through.

Rean sighed after that. “It seems like we’ll need to get involved with the powers of Lebgram if we want to take a slot during the next opening.”

Roan nodded, saying, “In Erithean’s case, his cultivation was enough to grant him a free pass. However, his cultivation level was much higher than our current Transition Realm cultivation. That won’t work for us.”

With that decided, the twins immediately turned around. It was time to gather information.

A day later, Destiny Avoidance Mode was turned off.
