Death... and me

[Hosts must be aware. Due to the damage caused by the demon from the Underworld, the portal is unstable. Well, to be more specific, the formations keeping it open are.]

Rean knew that. After all, not only did he and Roan break a few formations while heading to the floor with the core, Rean also noticed a lot of damaged formations along the way. He did his best to repair them. Unfortunately, there were way too many runes that he didn't know the purpose of or how to fix said runes. 'Well, I'm already surprised that the formation activated to start with,' Rean thought for a moment.

The system continued, [After initial analysis by surpassing the user's limitation, the system predicts that the portal's formations will break apart in 1176 hours. The margin of error is expected to be plus-minus 30 hours. Once that happens, the World Beast Formation will only be able to keep its initial purpose of strengthening the demon beasts of the planet.]

[Hosts must decide whether to use it or find another way to enter the Realm of Gods in the future if the users ever so wish. The system can't predict any possible shortcuts like the World Beast Formation that the users can use in the future. As for the system limitations, they are based on the users' level. However, these limitations can't be broken even at the Transition Realm. The hosts will have to rely on their own power to break the barrier between the Realm of Mortals and the Realm of Gods if they want to leave later.]

'Limitations?' Rean pondered over it for a bit before telling Roan, 'The limitation the system talked about is probably things like the teleportation to this planet back in Sunkan.'

Roan agreed with Rean, saying, 'Indeed. However, we don't have the authority to demand the system to ignore the limitations. It can only select by itself whether it needs to break the limitations imposed on us because of our level or not. Also, if the system does so, it will be inactive for years again.'

The system didn't say anything else after that. However, Sister Orb could now tell them a lot more than she was allowed before, so she began to explain. [Let me be honest here and say that you should go. However, you must understand that your actual power will be extremely weak in the Realm of Gods. Even Transition Realm and Stage Nine Demon Beasts are nothing to brag about. Just so you know, babies are already born in the Foundation Establishment Realm with perfect foundations. The higher quality energy of the Realm of Gods also makes it a lot easier to find one's path, so it isn't too hard to see people around their 40 or 50s in the Soul Transformation Realm. It's extremely rare to see teenagers in the Core Formation Realm here in the Realm of Mortals. However, up there, it's a very common thing.]

Rean and Roan narrowed their eyes after that. They remember very well how Droman took centuries to find his path, which was all based on pure luck. People like Mia, the Dalamu Sect Leader, were one in a million or maybe even more.

Sister Orb then continued, [Of course, you can also choose to stay here and slowly cultivate all the way to the Transition Realm.] One must remember that Sister Orb was inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, so she wasn't affected by the heavens when she talked about the Transition Realm. [Although it's hard, it's possible to use the Transition Realm's power to break the barrier between realms and enter the Realm of Gods through this method. On the other hand, the speed at which you'll cultivate won't even be a tenth of what you can do up there.]

Rean and Roan understood after Sister Orb was done talking. There were more dangers up there, but the rewards were plentiful as well.

Duran began to approach the portal, thinking whether he should enter it or not. However, Rean called his attention, saying, "It's still too early for you to enter it."

Duran immediately looked back at Rean and asked, "Why?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he replied, "I know more about the formation keeping this portal open than anyone else. It should still work for another 40 to 50 days." Of course, Rean simply used the system's numbers to say that. "Shouldn't you and Frin use this chance to go out and explain everything that happened in this realm? Don't forget that all the conflict and enmity between Zasfins and demon beasts happened because of the red-eyed being. Of course, it won't prevent wars from happening in the future, but both sides deserve to know the truth. It's just that the Zasfins won't believe it if it doesn't come from your mouth. Sure, you can spare that little bit of time to spread the word, right?"

Duran narrowed his eyes after that, responding with a question, "And what stops you from closing the portal to prevent me from leaving?"

Rean laughed out loud in response. "Hahaha! We would need to be true idiots to do such a thing. The only one who can fight you head-on is Senior Frin. If he leaves you here alone, doesn't that mean you can enslave all the other races on your own? That will be the end of the demon beast and human Races."

Frin agreed with Rean, saying, "Not only will I not enter it alone, but I'll also make sure you will enter with me at the same time to prevent exactly that. You should do the same in my case."

Duran had to admit Rean's words made sense. "Very well. Let's go out, then."

After that, their group returned to the chamber where the demon lived and used Divine Demon Beast blood to open the portal. They also made sure that they could come back anytime they wanted. They simply took the rock that could open the portal outside. That was the key to enter, after all.

Outside, their group sighed as they looked behind. "It's finally over, huh?"

Roan shook his head as he brought the dark jade slips out of his spatial ring. "Not yet. It's time to check these things. After all, we can finally use Spiritual Sense again."
