Chapter 956 - Why Didn't You Tell?

After bidding their farewells, Rean, Roan, Calina, Qia, and Zuo made their way outside the Freedom Sect. Kentucky and Celis were there as well, as they wanted to see them pass the portal. Kentucky even offered to carry everyone there, which Rean's group accepted.

Of course, there were a few more people going as well. Malo, Wataba, Liza, Luna, Fizer, and many other members of the Freedom Sect wanted to see them depart. Naturally, they followed Rean's group until the end.

Inside the Bestial Sacred Ground, it was possible to see many cultivators and demon beasts at the Nascent Soul Realm or Stage Five making their way to the portal. After all, many of them were on the other side of the world when they heard about it. They spent over a week of constant travel, and there was definitely more coming at the current rate.

Rean's group ignored that, though. "Well then. I guess this is it.."N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

Malo and the others stayed in front of the portal to the Realm of Gods as they looked at Rean's group approaching it. "Until another time, Rean, Roan!"

Rean laughed in response, saying, "Definitely! Perhaps we'll see you up there in the future!"

Rean and the others then passed through the portal and were about to be enveloped by the spatial power when suddenly...

*Pin!*

[Detected a path to the Realm of Gods. Transfer coordinates secured. Initializing gathering of Soul Gem System links between hosts and other beings.]

It was then that Kentucky and Celis felt spatial power enveloping their bodies as they were dragged into the portal as well. "What the fuck?!"

He and Celis turned into a flash of silver light together with Rean's group before they all disappeared inside the portal. Of course, not before he heard a few words that made him feel like crying.

Celis didn't seem to mind it much. "Oh well, Realm of Gods or not, for me, it's fine." He then patted Kentucky's head, saying, "Don't worry, we will find more girls to worship you here as well."

Roan narrowed his eyes as he spread his Spiritual Sense, completely ignoring Kentucky and Celis. Immediately, he noticed that his Spiritual Sense couldn't go much further than a couple of meters. "Our Spiritual Sense is restrained in this place. However, I can't see the girls and my disciple at all."

Rean put Kentucky's issue on the back of his mind as he became worried about Qia. "Could it be that we were teleported somewhere else?"

Roan nodded, responding, "That's the only possible reason. You do remember that the system said something about finding new coordinates, right? After a while, it said it found the intersection point. That was probably the moment we were separated."

Rean's mind then entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, asking, 'Sister Orb, are you there?'

[Of course!] Sister Orb answered. [However, don't ask me what happened. That was something the system decided by itself. By the way, you guys should brace yourselves. The spatial power protecting your bodies is about to disappear.]

Rean's group was confused to hear that. 'What do you mean by that?'

That spatial power finally disappeared when suddenly...

*Arrrgh!*

Rean's group felt like their bodies were assaulted by countless needles. They all fell on the ground and contorted in pain. Surprisingly, even Celis, a Demon Tree, wasn't an exception. Naturally, whatever was happening affected much more than just their bodies.

[Well, there you go. The Divine Energy of the Realm of Gods is now entering your bodies. You can call it a baptism of sorts. It will change your bodies so that your reliance on Spiritual Energy changes to Divine Energy instead. Oh, by the way, there's no Spiritual Energy in the Realm of Gods, only Divine Energy.]

Rean and Roan felt like cracking the orb into a thousand pieces as they simultaneously asked, "What?! Why didn't you tell us that before?"

[Tee-hee!]

"Fuck you!" And so started the process to adapt to the new environment.
