Death... and me

Philip had a dark expression as he answered, "I'm the one asking questions here. I could accept your talent to a certain extent, believing you were people from this side of the Realm of Gods. However, a personal Dimensional Realm shouldn't be something you can get here. At least not with that cultivation of yours. Even I suffered a lot to get my own, and it was at the expense of some of my own cultivation. You must be someone from the center of the Realm of Gods. My doubt is, what are you trying to achieve here?"

Rean and Roan had heard from the Crystal Angels before that pocket Dimensional Realms existed. However, they wouldn't find it easily in a place like this. But just now, Philip told them that he also has his own Dimensional Realm.

Roan pondered over it a bit before saying, "You're right. We're not someone from this side of the Realm of Gods."

Philip nodded, saying, "So you really came from the cent-"

"Wrong!" Roan cut Philip's words straight away. "We're from the Mortal Realm. As for our Dimensional Realm, we were born with it."

Philip was taken aback to hear that. "The Mortal Realm? We do see one or another ascender every now and then, but since when do ascenders have personal Dimensional Realms?"

However, Philip quickly recovered as he continued, "Wait, did you say... you were born with it?"

Rean couldn't help but ask Roan through their Soul Connection. 'Why did you tell him?'

Roan shook his head, saying, 'If he truly investigates it, he will definitely reach the Huring Clan and Erithean. With the Jhiod Continent's power, as long as they threaten the Huring Clan, Erithean will definitely tell about us. His Huring Clan is definitely more important than our lives, after all. With that said, there isn't much of a point in hiding this fact.'

'I see...' Rean had to admit Roan was right. Jhiod Sect definitely had the power to do that, especially a powerful clan like Yume.

Roan then turned his attention back to Philip as he told him, "Yes, we had it since we could start forming memories. It was thanks to it that we grew strong enough to ascend to the Realm of Gods. You can investigate if you want. I'm pretty sure the result will be the same as my words. Well, I don't know if you can send investigators to the Mortal Realm, though."

Philip shook his head, saying in response, "As far as I know, it isn't possible to go back down once you reach the Realm of Gods. But then again, we're just a small power in the middle of nowhere once you compare us to the rest of the Realm of Gods."

Philip checked the twins again. "It seems like someone already told you how to get rid of your mortal remnants. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't be able to tell that you came from there."

Rean found it strange, asking, "You seem to believe our words way too easily, no? We could be lying about it. After all, the mortal remnants had already been eliminated from our bodies."

Philip turned his back and opened up some distance from the twins as he shook his head. "I didn't say I believe you. I will definitely launch an investigation to check it by myself. However, I don't think you're lying for a very simple reason." Philip then looked back at the twins again, continuing, "What kind of idiot would leave the center of the Realm of Gods to come to this place anyway? Even if you were running away from someone, there are plenty of places to hide without coming all the way here."

Philip added, "Last but not least, the price necessary to come here. The center of the Realm of Gods is just way too far. If you want to teleport to this place, you will have to use Rank Seven Divine Stones. Even in the center of the Realm of Gods, such Divine Stones cost fortunes. What would someone want to accomplish by sending two Transition Realm brats to the outskirts of the Realm of Gods? First of all, there's barely anything in a place like ours that could possibly interest the Continents at the center."

Rean and Roan had to admit Philip's reasoning was sound. If Rank Seven Divine Stones were really as expensive as he said, then it wouldn't make sense for the twins to be sent here. It's not that it was impossible, but truly hard to believe.

"So, you can tell that we have a Dimensional Realm. What now?" Roan asked.

Philip pondered over it for a bit before he looked at Govin and the others, telling them, "I believe all of you know that this information cannot leave this room, am I clear?"

Sam and Govin nodded in response, and so did Erla and Min. There was no way in hell they would go against Philip's words.

With that, Philip explained, "I only felt the presence of your Dimensional Realm because I have my own. You know that both you and I are the entrances to our own Dimensional Realms, right?" Rean and Roan nodded and waited for Philip to continue. "That also means that these entrances can affect each other ever so slightly. If not for the difference in cultivation between you and me, I wouldn't have noticed it at all. In any case, the fact we got close to each other and are so far apart in cultivation allowed me to feel the presence of your own Dimensional Realm."

"Are you going to take it away from us?" Rean couldn't help but ask.

"Take it away from you? Ha! What a joke! This thing is connected to your lives. No one can take it away from you," Philip said in response. "At least I don't know a way of doing it. The same goes for my own Dimensional Realm."

"However, it doesn't mean I can't destroy it," Philip added. "Now that I know it's there, I can use this feeling to attack its location behind the fabric of space."

Roan narrowed his eyes as he asked, "Is this a threat?"

"No," Philip shook his head, clarifying, "It's a warning. Since I can do it, there are obviously others who can do the same. I reckon a few people and ancestors in our Jhiod Sect should be able to detect its presence since they also have their own Dimensional Realms."
