Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 2408 Going Through

Essefy couldn't help but intervene. "Well, we are only considering here if Nolui has something in his body that can be used to track him down. However, how come no one thought that we might have a traitor in our group?"

Indeed. As far as they know, their location might have been shared by someone else in their group. The Vruve Organization had deep roots in all three higher realms. It wouldn't be surprising if any of the people present were part of their organization instead.

Finally, Nolui shook his head and gave up. "This is bringing us nowhere. I would rather believe I have some tracker on me than someone in this group being a traitor. At least during the battle we won, it didn't seem the Vruves were going easy against any of you. Of course, that proves nothing, but that's what I have decided."

Rean agreed with him. "Indeed. Instead of wasting time here to find out how they found us, we should move forward. The longer we wait, the faster the Vruves will come back. Aren't we going to explore a Pseudo-Temporal Path? Once we get through it, no tracker will be able to feel anyone's presence. No communication method will work either."

Everyone had to admit Rean's words made sense. Still, there was another problem. "Even if communicating to this side becomes impossible, the fact is that the Vruves will be able to see where we disappeared. That means they will know where the entrance is located. Is it really okay to go there now?"

Nolui shrugged his shoulders. "My presence in this place already confirms that the Pseudo-Temporal Path's entrance is nearby. The Vruves can simply narrow down their search to this region, and they will eventually find it. That said, going back now will only give them the upper hand in the case."

Kinglei was already losing his patience again. "Whatever! Just let's go already. So much talk and no solution. This is too much of a waste of time."

Nolui quickly nodded and took flight. "Follow me. We are not going to hold back anymore and fly straight to the entrance. We should be there in at most an hour. Oh, right! Is everyone in a condition to fly?"

They had all just left an intense battle, after all. One didn't need to be a genius to know they were all low in their reserves of Divine Origin Energy. However, they also understood that staying in this place would be worse, so they all took Divine Stones out and followed Nolui while absorbing the stones on the way.

"Good! Let's go!" Nolui didn't ask anymore and flew into the distance. Obviously, he matched his speed with the Elemental Space Realm cultivators behind, who were obviously slower than him. He, Kinglei, and Kanglia could pull everyone together with them, but they didn't want to lose more Divine Energy than they already lost.

Nolui was right. In the next hour, they arrived at a huge field without anything around. However, Nolui confirmed this was the place. He then moved a rock on a corner, and suddenly, the environment transformed. Everyone immediately understood that Nolui had set up a concealing formation before leaving.

Well, Rean and Kentucky already knew that since Sister Orb warned them once they approached that there was a formation ahead.

Once the formation was lifted, they saw a weird crack in space, and that crack seemed to be absorbing all the air and Divine Energy of the environment around. Rean and Kentucky could confirm that was a Pseudo-Temporal Path. However, it was somewhat different from the one they used to go to the Heaven Realm. 'Why is it taking in so much Divine Energy?'The most update n0vels are published on N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

Kentucky shook his head. 'No idea. Perhaps because the other side lacks it? Or perhaps it needs the Divine Energy to keep itself open. There are many possible reasons.'

Nolui then looked at everyone. "This is it. This is the Pseudo-Temporal Path I found during my investigations. If you have seen one of these before, you probably can see the difference. What I can confirm is that it doesn't connect to the Underworld, Mortal Realm, or Heavens. The phenomenons that happen to the paths once they connect to one of those three realms are not present in this one."

He then took a deep breath and warned everyone. "Last warning. I absolutely don't know where this thing will bring us. I was alone when I found it, so I didn't have anyone I could use to test it before. In any case, even if some of you have some slaves in your Pocket Dimensional Realm that you wish to use, this is not the time. We can't wait for them to go and come back. We will have to test it ourselves. If you decide to give up, you can leave now. You simply won't get any Merit Points, and the 5000 you already received will be taken back. Yet, perhaps that's for the best."

None of them had any intention of retreating. They already got into a dangerous situation once, and that was the Vruves' attack. If they survived that, they could survive this, too. Not to mention that there is no guarantee the other side will have any dangers.

Seeing everyone stepping forward, Nolui nodded with a satisfied expression. "Alright. The objective is to go, check what the other side consists of, and return by any means to warn senior Flinyu of our discoveries. So that you don't think I'm taking advantage of you, I'll be the first one to enter."

No one complained since, in these instances, no one wanted to test the waters first. Nolui stepping into the Temporal Path could at least show them if he would be attacked or something like that before disappearing. Nolui passed through the Temporal Path entrance, charging into the Spatial tunnel. A few seconds later, his body seemed to teleport and disappear. 

Everyone looked at each other. They didn't see anything until the moment Nolui disappeared, so it was relatively safe at first. Still, no one wanted to be the next... or so they thought. 

"Let's go, Kenny!" Rean quickly jumped inside the Temporal Path.

"Shit! Why do you always have to do that?" Kentucky complained but followed nonetheless.

Essefy, as someone connected to the two, felt somewhat helpless and quickly jumped inside, too. In the end, all three disappeared from sight inside the Spatial Tunnel.
