Death… And Me

Chapter 3761: Timely Help

More and more of the shadows kept diving into Roan’s body, and the system was truly on the verge of losing that battle. However, Roan couldn’t come inside the Dimensional Realm. The same ancient runes that stopped him from creating an exit were now preventing Roan from entering the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm.

Around him, the Spatial Tunnel disappeared. After all, he stopped his movement behind the fabric of space as there was no point going forward anymore. As soon as the tunnel disappeared, the spatial storms and similar spatial phenomenons that raged in this place showed their faces.

Fortunately, the twins had already reached the Space-Time Realm and possessed a Celestial Body that surpassed the one they used with the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique. The Spatial Storms began to strike Roan, but they only caused small injuries. Roan could use his own Spatial and Time powers to reduce their power to the point they wouldn’t bother him. Too bad that once he goes that far, it will definitely alert the shadows.

All around, he could see hundreds of thousands of them, and he would see even more if the chaos of this place didn’t impair his vision and Divine Sense. Another second passed... the moment Roan came out of the tunnel, still behind the fabric of space, it was like all the shadows noticed his arrival.

Roan narrowed his eyes, wondering if he should just let loose and summon his Elemental Intent Scythes. If he goes all out, he can definitely eliminate enough of these shadows to reduce the system’s burden. But then again, that would just be a temporary solution. He wouldn’t be able to fight forever.

’Roan, stay still and don’t attack, keep your emotions in check,’ Rean’s voice echoed in his mind.

In the next moment, Roan’s hair changed into a mix of black and white as his body lit up with the purest Light Element. Those shadows were full of yin energy, and Rean’s Light Element definitely served to counter them. No, it was even better than that. The shadows noticed the intense Light Element and began to avoid it.

Roan immediately understood. Rean was sending all that Light Element through their connection, something they had done countless times. It’s just that Rean was the one forcing the Shadows away, not Roan. Since Rean wasn’t there, the shadows couldn’t feel any emotions coming from Roan or that Light Element. And with that intense Light Element and its Yang Energy as a result, they found it hard to notice Roan’s soul’s presence.

Inside the Dimensional Realm, Rean was sitting down and concentrating, sending as much Light Element as possible towards Roan. "Sister Orb, gather all the Light Element accumulated inside the Dimensional Realm around me," Rean ordered. "It will help."

Sister Orb quickly worked. The Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm immediately lit up as the Light Element moved to the center. [How about this?]

"That’s great!" Rean could feel the concentration of Light Element increasing, which he gathered and sent Roan’s way. "Roan, see if they will notice you once you move."

Roan nodded and began to move in that area behind the fabric of space. Thanks to Rean’s Intense Light Element, he was also able to concentrate a little bit on his Spatial and Time powers, which finally fended off the Spatial phenomenons like the spatial storms.

He flew around for a few seconds and saw how all the shadows kept avoiding him. There were a few stronger ones that still felt his presence and launched themselves into Roan’s body. But, since Roan showed no emotions, the shadows didn’t feel any hostility either, keeping their defenses nonexistent.

Naturally, the moment these few entered Roan’s body, the system worked its magic, destroying them.

[Good, good!] Sister Orb was relieved. [The system is coming back to normal. If it is just these few entering Roan’s body, the system can eliminate them without any trouble.]

Rean was happy to hear that. "Alright. Roan, I’ll keep the Light Element flowing. You and the others work on a way to find an exit or at least get you back inside the Dimensional Realm."

’How long can you hold?’ Roan asked, now flying aimlessly.

Rean was confident. "As long as I have enough Light Element, I can keep sending it your way for years if necessary."

[It won’t last that long,] too bad Sister Orb had ominous news. [As you know, our Dimensional Realm size increases depending on your cultivation. Upon reaching the Space-Time Realm, its size is now comparable to that of a large solar system. Naturally, a bigger Dimensional Realm means more Elements inside.]

[I also know that Light, Dark, Wood, and Earth Elements are the most important to the four of you during cultivation, so I keep a higher amount of these here compared to the rest. However, Rean is currently using an extremely high amount. It won’t last years this way. At most, it will last ten months. There is simply no Light Element behind the fabric of space to replenish our stocks.]

Roan nodded. ’Ten months is still more than enough time to ponder things over. We can think about the remaining Light Element later when we get close to the time limit.’

Roan looked around, but all he could see was Spatial Storms or similar spatial chaos. He couldn’t see too far, though. That same chaos reduced his Divine Sense Range to only around 110 kilometers.

Inside the Dimensional Realm, Foliana had an idea. "Senior Roan, Kentucky is the best with Spatial Powers in our group, right? Can’t you use him from inside the Dimensional Realm to look for an exit? It actually doesn’t need to be a proper exit, just some weak location with a weak barrier that you might be able to break through."

Everyone looked at Kentucky, who agreed it was a good idea. "Should work. But since Roan can’t go back into the Dimensional Realm, can my Divine Sense go out?"

[It seems like the same rules from outside the fabric of space apply to us here. Everyone can leave or send anything out of our Dimensional Realm. However, once you are there with Roan, you simply can’t leave that place. That’s how the seal or whatever it is works. That’s why Roan can’t enter our Dimensional Realm. If you want, you can go out there with him, Kentucky. You just won’t be able to return.]

"No, my Divine Sense is enough." Kentucky obviously didn’t want that. "Besides, using Roan’s position as a starting point, it won’t make a difference about how far my Divine Sense can go, so why should I risk going out? Anyway, don’t block my Divine Sense from going out, Sister Orb."

"That’s good." Rean preferred that too. "I can’t send my Light Element to Kentucky. Our connection doesn’t work that way. This Elemental Exchange only works between Roan and me."

"Alright, Roan," Kentucky spoke, "start flying around, it doesn’t matter the direction. I’ll keep my Divine Sense spread to see if I can find anything. Meanwhile, we should try to think about some other solution as well."
