Death... and me

Chapter 1905 Into the Demon Beasts Territory

Rean was watching the blacksmiths there when suddenly, Celis got in contact with him. "Since you're already checking through the sect's issues, you might as well address this one."

Rean looked at Celis, who pointed toward the Demon Beast Forest. "I see... we have too many disciples and not enough demon beasts to keep up with their development. Is that correct?"

Celis nodded in response. "Pretty much. I've been limiting the access of disciples into the Demon Beast Forest so their numbers wouldn't drop too much. However, with the new disciples we got during the war, even the number of demon beasts we have isn't enough. We need to populate the rest of the forests. Also, we need to fill the ocean that appeared during the last upgrade." Indeed, the ocean was still devoid of any life.

Rean contacted Roan, who was inside the Spirit Stream. 'Do you think we can stop at some Demon Beast Forest or something like that to capture some demon beasts?'

Roan shook his head. 'This stream will bring us straight to the border between the Vascunir and Laxis Continent. After that, the stream turns around and goes deep into the spirit races' territories again. I intend to come out of the stream on that border. Vascunir is inside the spirit races' territory, while Laxis is already part of the demon beasts' territory. We can try to do that once I cross to Laxis.'

'The Gods' Dividing Barrier, huh?' Rean knew that they were getting close to that barrier again.

'Just tell the disciples to concentrate on other tasks during the following days until we can secure a passage. There will be no lack of demon beasts once we get to the other side,' Roan concluded.

Celis then took the opportunity to ask. 'The cultivation limit of the Dimensional Realm is always one realm or more below our levels. With that said, I would like to get some Initial Stage Transition Realm demon beasts or even plants if we can.' As to why he said that, demon beasts usually did not get sentience before the Transition Realm. Celis wanted a few of those to help keep the order in the Demon Beast Forest and the ocean.

'Very well.' Roan nodded. 'It's just that we'll have to ask them directly, and they'll have to sign the Soul Binding Contracts.'

Celis didn't mind. 'Don't worry. That's the easy part. With Kentucky and my Divine Bloodlines, they'll accept the offer very easily.'

With that decided, Roan focused on his journey again and finally reached the Gods' Dividing Barrier a few weeks later. However, once he stepped out of the Spirit Stream, he quickly noticed that there were quite a lot of Divine Senses checking it. 'Humanoid experts?' Roan wondered.

Roan ignored all of that, though. Just like Rean did, he was using a different body and appearance. Not to mention that it looked more like he was a Water Element Affinity user than anything else. There were a few humanoid beings who arrived through the stream every now and then, so it was nothing out of the norm for one more to be there.

Roan was then inquired about his reason for being there, which he answered just like most people. He needed to head to the demon beasts' territories to acquire materials for his clan, organization, sect, or whatever. That was the main reason for almost every traveler from the humanoid race.

Dalanbi had his doubts about Rean having appeared in the spirit races' territory. The weirdest part was that Fran told him that his Dimensional Realm was empty. There wasn't anyone else there. Just in case, he had each traversal city in the center of the Realm of Gods have a few humanoid experts watching. Then again, because of the Gods' Dividing Barrier, their level wasn't that high, with most being at the Space Bending Realm. It would be just too hard for any of them to see through Roan's disguise.

Roan didn't waste time and used his badge to make the traversal into the demon beasts' territory. As unlikely as the chances of being found were, he didn't want to risk it.

From inside the Dimensional Realm, Rean got its outer shell to show what was happening outside. That way, everyone once again watched as Roan traversed the continental barrier. At the same time, he told everyone. "We are now in the demon beasts' territory of the center of the Realm of Gods. Did you think you would ever come so far when you joined us? Hahaha!"

Many people sighed as they watched that. For them, who were most similar to beggars when they were found, it was really hard to believe they made it here. They had already seen more of the Realm of Gods than the majority of living beings in the Realm of Gods would see during their entire lives.

Ultimately, Roan finished the traversal of the Gods' Dividing Barrier and appeared in the Demon Beast City on the other side. It did remind him of the Spirit Cities, with very few buildings used mostly by humanoid race experts. Sure enough, demon beasts weren't very keen on having houses and things like that. The number of demon beasts in the city was also low since only those at the Transition Realm and above had sentience. 'At least I can see them,' Roan thought. Spirits kept themselves hidden most of the time, after all.

The demon beasts' territory would definitely be the most annoying to journey through, though. Just like the spirits, there weren't that many Formation Guilds around. Not to mention that cities were just as scarce. Last but not least, the demon beasts didn't have a Spirit Stream that could be used.

'That's weird,' Roan thought. 'Demon beasts at the Transition Realm and above have to move somehow, especially the important ones. With the lack of teleport formations and something like a Spirit Stream, how do they travel through the continents and visit other territories?'

As a traversal city, this one obviously had its own Formation Guild. It was thanks to this guild that Roan found the answer.

"Oh! That? It's simple. Sure, the demon beasts have very few cities and obviously Formation Guilds. However, they at least understand the importance of formations, especially bloodline and movement-related ones. With that being said, the few teleport formations in the scarce demon beast cities around the continents are mostly super long-distance teleport formations."
