Death... and me

Chapter 3348  As I Thought

Back on the twins' side, Rean had taken his CD out to check the signals. If Kentucky was right, then there should be a signal from the Divine Snow Network in this place. At first, there was nothing. He simply couldn't connect to the network. However, just like the normal CDs from the mortal world, CDs could connect to each other as long as they weren't too far apart. If the Mortal World had such communication devices, then let alone the Divine Realm.

To Rean's surprise, not only did his CD catch the signal of other CDs... or, to be more specific, the signal of VS devices, but the VS Device was none other than Herbert's. Rean had reached an agreement with Herbert regarding this exploration, so he took the chance to contact the guy.

"Herbert, could it be you are also here in Valames Valley?" Rean asked, trying to confirm that it wasn't just an anomaly.

Herbert, obviously, was just as surprised as Rean. -That I am. But what about you? I didn't see you using the same path as everyone else. How did you end up here?-

Rean then explained to Herbert how they found a cave and went deep inside, ultimately being teleported to this place. Of course, most of it was a lie. He couldn't really tell about the system's protection and the fact they knew they were using an Abyssal Path.

Herbert didn't doubt Rean's words, though. That was very similar to the event that led his clan into this place, although the passage they used was very dangerous. -I see... so you just arrived here, uh?-

"Yes," Rean confirmed, and that part wasn't a lie. It hadn't been long since they had met, after all. "I intended to explore ahead a little before returning to call you, which I don't need to do anymore now. It seems like our group and yours found different entrances at the same time. Could it be these entrances are now popping outside everywhere?"

-It might be the case,- Herbert answered, even though he had his doubts. Nonetheless, what mattered was that Rean wasn't dead, and that meant he could still use Rean to help him get inside the Mist Library. -My clan members and I are running in the direction of Valames City, where that giant pyramid is located. The problem is that we have to do it on foot, so it will take a little bit for us to get there.-

"Don't you have any flying demon birds with you? I'm using my friend to fly us there. Perhaps we can meet on the way?" Rean asked. It shouldn't be an issue, considering that many experts also got into this place.

However, Herbert shook his head in response. -No, go to the city first. It will be better if you can take a look before we even try to enter it. Since you arrived here a little earlier, you have the advantage. Go there and see if you can get any advantage. It will be good to understand the situation of the people there as well.-

However, Herbert shook his head in response. -No, go to the city first. It will be better if you can take a look before we even try to enter it. Since you arrived here a little earlier, you have the advantage. Go there and see if you can get any advantage. It will be good to understand the situation of the people there as well.-

Rean smiled, accepting the arrangement. "Very well. We are indeed almost in the city. Is there anyone I should pay attention to in these groups that arrived with you?"

-I don't think anyone will start a fight in this place without a reason, but keep an eye out for the Qediya Experts. Xesht seemed to know how to open that path and even keep it stable for traversal temporarily. It is likely that my clan isn't the only one with privileged information,- Herbert warned Rean. -They are ahead of me, but we aren't far behind. Just try to not antagonize them or anyone else. Your group's cultivation is just too low, so don't enter into any fights.-

"That goes without saying," Rean spoke. Then, they exchanged a few more words, and Rean ended the call, turning to his group on Kentucky's back. "Well, you heard him. Seems like we have some company."

Roan nodded, having picked up on a special point in Herbert's story. "According to Herbert, the guy called Xesht used a weird tablet to open the Abyssal Path or something that looked like the Abyssal Path at least. That tablet reminds me of the tablet we saw in Emaniora's secret base."

"However, what matters most is that he could make use of that path," Roan continued. "We were in doubt if anyone else other than the Abyssal Beasts could use the Abyssal Paths, and now it could be said it is guaranteed others can. There is a very good chance that the so-called Great Void Shifter does indeed manipulate the Abyssal Paths."

Everyone had to admit Roan raised a good point. They can't confirm yet since they haven't seen it, but with today's event, the chances were indeed very high.

Seeing everyone's pensive expression, Roan called their attention. "There is no point thinking about it now. That is just something we should keep in mind for later. For now, focus on the task ahead. We are almost at Valames City. If I'm not wrong, things will be very different there, and I'm not talking about the pyramid in the center."

The group turned their attention back to the city in the distance. Roan had mentioned something related to evolution before saying they would understand the meaning once they saw the city. Now, they definitely wanted to see it.

Having had a head start, the twins' group, especially with such a powerful flying demon beast like Kentucky, was the first one to reach the city. Yet, before even flying past the walls surrounding it, they began to notice something.

"There is no one around..." Rean commented.

Usually, when getting close to a city of the Divine Realm, which always had millions upon millions of inhabitants, you would see many of them coming and going from the city. Yet, they couldn't see anyone there.

Then, Kentucky, with his much better eyes, spoke. "That's not all. That city... It looks so, so old! The buildings in there are falling apart, if they haven't fallen already. Just how old is this city?"

Roan sighed in response. "As I thought."
