Death... and me

Chapter 2042 It's Beautiful

Going back to the matter of the Demon Beasts in the swamp, it was believed that the further the twins' group went into the swamp, the stronger they would be. Now that they found a way around the repealing effect, they did indeed encounter stronger Swamp Demon Beasts more often as time passed.

However, that only continued until the Swamp Beasts reached the level of Elemental Space Realm Initial Stage. With the twins' group's many methods, they could fight against opponents who were an entire Realm above themselves. Let alone when they worked together. If anything, those Demon Beasts proved to be great opponents for training instead.

But after they encountered a few Swamp Demon Beasts at this level, the frequency they found more of them reduced the further they went. Forget about Swamp Demon Beasts at the Middle Stage Elemental Space Realm. It was hard to find Space Bending or even Void Tempering Realm Swamp Demon Beasts. 

Finally, after they kept being guided by Luan for over a hundred years, all signs of Swamp Demon Beasts completely disappeared. Not only the Demon Beasts but the Swamp Trees also decreased in number drastically. Or, one could say that signs of life were a lot more difficult to be found.

"Father, the flow of space is already many times higher than when we found a way to counter the repealing effect. Even with our Spatial Field reducing the repealing effect by more than 80%, the repealing effect is so strong that we are once again traveling at 20% of our real speed or something like that," Luan suddenly mentioned.

No one was surprised by that. Luan had kept them up to date with the changes in the environment during the past hundred years or so, after all. 

Roan nodded at Luan. "I can also feel the difference in the flow of space now that it is this high. That doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that we haven't found a single Swamp Demon Beast in the past 20 years."

Rean looked around before saying. "It is probably because of the concentration of Dark Element and its higher decaying effect here in the swamp. We have Roan, so we don't really need to be scared of any amount of Dark Element. Perhaps the Demon Beasts aren't as tolerant as Roan, so they can't live here."

Roan narrowed his eyes. Something told him that things weren't so simple. Sure, the Dark Elements and the Decaying Power were ridiculously high, but he felt that the Swamp Demon Beasts, at least the high-level ones, shouldn't have a problem living within it. They used this same Dark Element to cultivate and get stronger. It should be beneficial to them instead.

Celis also noticed something else. "The time difference has also increased a lot. It can't compare to what we felt back in the Realm of Gods when we got into the Natural Formation. The problem is that I can't even tell if we are moving much faster or slower than the time outside the swamp."

[Even I can't tell that,] Sister Orb's voice echoed in their minds. [It feels like it is constantly changing. As if sometimes it is hundreds of times faster than the normal time flow, and sometimes it is hundreds of times slower. I can't tell if we are gaining or losing years to the outside world anymore.]

They expected that the time flow would get faster and faster, but it turned out that the Space-Time Flow of the Swamp got even more unpredictable now that they were so far inside. The Sense of Direction Loss, Repealing effect, and now a messed up Time Flow. Back in Luman's settlement, they at least knew that it was just faster. Now that they had spent over a hundred years traveling, just what could have happened outside. They didn't forget that the Realm of Gods was about to go to war against the Underworld to take back the Northeast side of the Realm of Gods' Territory.

"Hum?" Suddenly, Kentucky's eyes caught something far in the distance. As the one with the best long-distance eyesight, he was the first to notice it. "There is something ahead."

Rean, Roan, Celis, and Luan quickly looked in the direction Kentucky pointed out but couldn't see anything. They weren't surprised as they knew Kentucky could see further away. After a while, they also began to see the same thing.

It looked like a gigantic wall that extended to both sides and reached high in the sky. Even though they were getting closer, they still couldn't see the end of the wall regardless if they looked right, left, or up. It was impossible to fly more than a few tens of meters in the sky, so the idea of flying over that wall immediately disappeared from their minds.

At some point, Luan's Elemental Pupils also got close enough to see the difference in that area and his eyes lit up. "It's there! The flow of space and time is coming from that wall!" In Luan's eyes, the wall ahead acted like some kind of beacon. The Space Power gathered in front of it before being shot in all directions. 

He then looked up with his eyes after they got closer and finally understood. "I see... So that's how it works..."

Roan and the others immediately looked at him. "What did you find?"

Luan took a deep breath and explained. "Father, the flow of space is acting like a loop. I don't know how, but that wall pulls the Space Power from above and releases it at our level. Its control is so precise that it forms a loop. If I'm not wrong, the Space-Time flow spreads forward at our level all the way to the Swamp's Borders. After that, it rises into the sky and makes its way back to the wall. Once it reaches the top of the wall, it is pulled by the wall and released at our level once again. I wish you could see what my eyes are seeing. It's beautiful."
