Death... and me

At that moment, the twins were in front of the Gods' Dividing Barrier. As mentioned before, the Gods' Dividing Barrier was what separated the cardinal sides of the Realm of Gods. Unlike the normal continental barriers, it had little effect on those below the Space Bending Realm. However, the higher one's cultivation was beyond this level, the harder it was to get through.

Nevertheless, there was a problem. "So, Roan, the Gods' Dividing Barrier is full of spirits around the same level as us. How will we pass through without being noticed?"

That was correct. Back then, the twins used the Drugo Organization's pass to get into the spirit races' territory and, ultimately, into the demon beasts' territory. There were tunnels in several traversal cities that allowed them to get to the other side. Unfortunately, it wasn't the same thing in relation to the devils. After the devils conquered the Essence Races' territory, such tunnels were closed.

Now there were only the Gods' Dividing Barrier and the Continental Barrier Spirits that stayed inside all the time. Not to mention that Fluki wasn't part of the spirit races used that protected and kept a watch on it.

Roan pondered in silence for a bit before saying, "There's only one way. We'll have to pass through as fast as we can. This barrier doesn't affect cultivators at our level, so we should rush through it."

Rean was taken aback. However, he immediately understood why Roan offered such a plan. "I see... the spirits are here for the sake of keeping watch over the devils and stopping a possible invasion. They won't expect someone trying to enter the devils' territory instead."

"That isn't all." Roan nodded and began to add, "The barrier affects those at the Space Bending Realm and above, so we won't find any spirits above that level. At our current strength, do you think a bunch of spirits can stop us?"

"However, wouldn't the spirits then inform the demon beasts?" Rean asked back. "What if they call Placake or someone at his level to capture us? We won't be able to escape those guys if we can't get through. We will be as good as captured."

Roan shook his head in response. "I don't think it'll happen. In any case, it's worth a shot."

Suddenly, Kentucky talked to the twins from within the Dimensional Realm. 'I wouldn't do that if I were you.'

The twins' attention was obviously piqued. 'Why do you say that?'

'Simple,' Kentucky explained. 'If you're seen entering the devils' territory in such a manner, the demon beasts might think we're allied to them. If they really reach such a conclusion, what do you think will happen to Calina, Qia, Zuo, and the System Sect? Do you think Placake will believe that we won't say anything to the devils if he thinks we're their allies? First of all, the reason we're entering the devils' territory in the first place is that no one would expect that we would do that.'

'This...' Even Roan was surprised by Kentucky's words. 'He's right...'

'I didn't expect we would miss this point.' Rean was happy that they didn't go ahead with the first plan.

Roan decided to bring Kentucky and Luan out after that. Luan, of course, also told Fluki to come out of his forehead.

"Fluki, you heard everything, right? Do you have any idea of how to pass through without being detected? At the very least, do you know some way of not allowing the Continental Barrier Spirits to not notice Roan and I are there?" Rean asked.

Fluki pondered in silence for a bit and nodded in the end. "Your original idea was to pass through the barrier super fast, right? You kept my existence hidden from the demon beasts during the years we stayed there. If I put you two in my mouth and pass through fast enough to the point no one would stop me, it should count, no? You two weren't supposed to know any spirit."

"But can you do that?" Roan narrowed his eyes in response. "Your cultivation follows Luan's. Luan is at the Peak Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm, so I believe it's the same for you."

Two decades was a lot of time, so Luan's cultivation improved greatly. In fact, it could have gone further, but Roan always insisted on prioritizing a strong foundation over higher cultivation.

Talking about cultivation, two decades was enough for the twins themselves to go up two more stages. After all, the System Sect was located inside the Dragon Race's territory. With that said, that territory itself had higher Divine Energy. Since the Dimensional Realm always had 50% more Divine Energy than the outside world, it became a cultivation paradise for Celis. Not to mention the many Divine Stones the twins had in their hands.

Rean had to spend time on the Circuitry Formations and the Formation Masters. However, Celis, Kentucky, and Roan could spend a lot of time cultivating since they weren't knowledgeable about those formations at all. On top of that, Celis, Kentucky, Rean, and Roan's cultivations were linked. Thus, their group was now at the Late Stage of the Void Tempering Realm. In fact, their last breakthrough was just a year ago or so.

Rean agreed with Roan. "You might find spirits at the Void Tempering Realm inside. Transition Realm ones are practically guaranteed. What can you do in that case? Can you even run?"

"If it's only Transition Realm ones, I should be fine." Fluki didn't seem too concerned. "Don't forget that Kibins are stronger Continental Barrier Spirits. As for the Void Tempering Realm ones, I can escape if it's really necessary."

That was a first for Rean, Roan, and Luan. "You didn't mention that back when we wanted to traverse the Gods' Dividing Barrier into the spirit races' territory."

Fluki smiled in response. "Back then, my cultivation wasn't anywhere near what it is now either. Don't worry. I can do it. Besides, I'm quite curious to see what the devils' territory looks like after so long. Then again, it's not like you have a better choice anyway. If things go south, just jump out of my mouth and force your way through. You can deal with the aftermath later."

Hearing that, the twins could only go with Fluki's plan.
