Death... and me



"It doesn't seem like you receive a lot of visits in this place. Aren't you afraid we would try something?" Rean couldn't help but ask while Sesame guided them.

"Try something? With this pitiful cultivation of yours? Hahahahaha! What a joke!" Sesame then looked back at the twins' group before raising one of his black paws. The movement was slow, seeming not threatening at all. 

However, Rean and the others immediately felt like their lives were hanging on a thread. They all subconsciously jumped back with all their might, appearing several hundred meters away from their previous position. Roan, of course, held Luan in one of his arms since Luan wasn't fast enough.

*Raaassssshhhhh...*

That was the right decision. The moment they disappeared, three tears appeared out of nowhere, showing the spatial storms behind the fabric of space. They even looked like to have been made with claws. Or, to be more precise, by Sesame's claws. 

"As I thought, you guys aren't too bad. You noticed the danger even though I didn't release a single iota of Divine Energy. If you didn't, I guess you would have been torn apart already. So, do you think I need to be afraid of you?" Asked Sesame with a smug expression on his face.

Luan looked at the tears in space with his Elemental Eyes and couldn't help but ask. "Sesame... No, senior Sesame. Just like you said, I didn't see any Divine Energy being used at all. Still, space moved as you wished. Was it because you comprehended Space Laws? Although you used an attack, it looked a lot more like space itself was following orders."

Sesame looked with surprise at Luan. "Oh-ho... Those are some nice eyes you have there, little guy."

Finally, Sesame turned around again and continued to walk. "Anyway, don't waste more of my time. Entertaining guests can't be done at the entrance either. We can talk more about this story from your planet in my house."

Rean and Roan looked at the sweat on their faces but followed Sesame nonetheless. Kentucky and Luan weren't any better as they did the same.

The gate was connected to a tunnel, so they couldn't see what was on the other side straight away. Only after leaving the tunnel did they get an idea of the place they had entered. 

"This..." Lush green valleys, sun-like illumination, rivers, animals and so on. It looked like they had completely left the Underworld. The only thing that made them remember that this place was still the Underworld was the fact that although there was sun-like light, the sky wasn't blue. There wasn't any sun there to start with. Still, light shined everywhere from the bleak sky. 

Another thing was that their group's Divine Senses weren't being hindered anymore. Rean and Roan, after entering the Space Bending Realm, could now expand their Divine Senses over 200000 kilometers when no impediment was in place. It was the first time since their breakthrough that they had the chance to use the Divine Senses to their full extent.

Nonetheless, as far as they could see, the green and lively world continued. There were even many Demon Beasts living in this place. The only problem was that none of them were stronger than Foundation Establishment Realm. One must remember that in the Realm of Gods, everyone is already born in the Foundation Establishment, and the same goes for the Underworld, which is a realm at the same level as the Realm of Gods. It was obvious that those Demon Beasts and Plants were born at that level and had never had the chance to cultivate further.

"There is absolutely no Divine Energy whatsoever in this place. Or, to be more precise, Devilish Energy of the Underworld," Sesame understood what they were thinking and commented. "Let's go down there."

Rean's group could see that down the valley ahead, there was a small village. In fact, within the 200000 kilometers of the twins' Divine Sense, that village was the only place that had buildings, even though there were very simple. Just some huts and straw houses.

'Father,' Luan called Roan through Divine Sense, 'This place's Spatial Environment is very weird. Now that Sesame said that there is no DIvine Energy, I noticed that that's not all. The Spatial Environment here is literally keeping everything out. No Divine Energy, Devilish Energy, Dark Element, etc. Once the Divine Energy within our bodies is spent, we will have no way to recover other than the Divine Stones inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm or our Spatial Rings.'

Roan nodded. He also couldn't feel Dark Element at all. That also included Yin Energy. The same went for Rean. He couldn't feel Light Element or Yang Energy either. Simply put, this place was pretty much the same as the other half of the Universe. The only exception was Space Element, which was truly abundant in their senses and especially Luan's eyes.

It only took their group a few minutes to reach the village. The twins' group could tell that there were a lot of humans inside. Not humanoid races, but real humans like Rean and Roan. In total, they counted 1542 of them. It was easy to do with their Divine Senses.

"Sesame!"

Suddenly, a boy came running from inside the village entrance. Sesame seemed to know the boy as well and quickly jumped on his should. "Oh, Little Iban! Did you finish your work already?"

The little boy was only five or six years. He heard Sesame's words and nodded vigorously. "Yes, I did! Father already let me out." He then grabbed Sesamen and began to pet him in his arms. The boy seemed very fond of Sesame.

Naturally, he also noticed Rean and Roan's group, especially the huge Black and White Kentucky. "Sesame, that's a very big bird!"

Sesame acted as the protector of this village, so the boy didn't really feel any sense of danger.

"Purrrrrrr, yes, he is very big, purrrrrrr... and fat." Sesame looked just like any normal cat, purring nonstop.

Kentucky wanted to complain that he had become a lot slimmer as his cultivation improved. That his slightly fatter look was normal for Minokawas. Too bad that he was quite cautious about Sesame, so he could only curse in his mind.

"Iban, bring me to my house, will you? Since you did your work well, you can pet me on the way."

Iban nodded. "Yes."

The twins' group looked at each other and followed. Sure enough, their presence caught everyone's attention. The village wasn't big. Everyone knew everyone. Seeing new visitors had never happened in their lives. Since they can't cultivate, they can only live for as long as a Foundation Establishment human can, which is around 200 years. Countless generations have come and gone without something like this happening.

Finally, they arrived at Sesame's house after a few minutes. "Alright, Iban. Go back home. I need to talk with these new friends."

"Okay!" Iban didn't want to let Sesame go, but he could only do as Sesame said.

Kentucky was too big, so he couldn't enter the house. He could only change into his human form before doing so.

Sesame then jumped into an old cat mat to lie down. Only then did he pay attention to the others. "Alright, let's talk."
