Death… And Me

Chapter 4246: Default’s Decision

”That I’m not sure,” Clayton explained. ”The only thing I’m certain of is that it has been like this for a very long time. I’ve never looked into it to know exactly how long, though. Seniors might want to take a look at the network of our Besgol region later.”

In the Great Void, Default talked to the twins. ’I’m leaving now. I intend to return from another place. It won’t make sense for me to go up from the same place as you guys, as I can recover much faster somewhere else.’

That reminded Rean. ’Senior Default, the Great Void is our Dimensional Realm, but at the same time, it obviously is still a Great Void that others can use normally. Does that mean you and the others can enter and leave it at any time? Why can’t we enter it right now, then?’

’The process is different,’ Default knew what Rean meant. ’What you were trying to do was to enter your pocket dimensional realm. That requires no price to be paid. You simply enter and leave whenever you want. That’s how pocket-dimensional realms work. Yet, this ability is not working in the Celestial Plane anymore for some reason.’

’What I’m going to do is to use the normal process of opening a passage that will bring me to the Celestial Plane. That’s the same thing the Werdlem Empire’s experts used to come down and help Soza. You must understand that this process is not instantaneous. It takes time, years, when you are coming down.’

’How long?’ Rean couldn’t help but ask.

’In the best-case scenario, it takes fifty years to make your way down,’ Default said. ’The Werdlem Empire isn’t anywhere close to a top power of the Celestial Plane, but they are not some backyard force either. They have the necessary arrays to send someone down in fifty or so years.’

’You can also do it on your own, but that takes even longer. In my case and the other Primordial Demon Beasts, it takes around two hundred years for us to make all the way down to our Home Great Void. Of course, considering our age, two hundred years is nothing but a blink of an eye. That never really bothered us. Even though we are connected to our Home Great Void and must return eventually, we can definitely stay out for much, much longer than just two hundred years.’

’So...’ Rean knew what to ask next. ’What if I want to go back to our Home Great Void through the normal methods?’

’You can’t,’ Default answered straight away. ’Not now, that is. You must be at least a Region God or no go.’

’Region God?’ Rean and Roan haven’t heard of that one yet. ’What is a Region God?’

’It would be the fifth cultivation level of the Celestial Plane, right after the Law God,’ Default said.

Roan found it strange. ’Why must we be at that cultivation level to come down? Is there some kind of restriction? What about arrays? You mentioned the arrays of the Werdlem Empire. Can’t we use something like that to go down before the Region God level?’

’You can’t,’ Default said again. ’The problem with going down is that you are no longer beings of the Great Void. Did you forget? You have transformed when you made your way to the Celestial Plane. Your entire existence is now aligned to the Celestial Plane, and other than your memories, nothing in you is related to the Great Void anymore. Well, you have The Echo somehow, but that’s an anomaly you need to investigate further.’

’Do you know why it is so hard to bring items from the Celestial Plane to the Great Voids? Because they are Celestial Plane-bound, very similar to how we, Primordial Demon Beasts, are bound to our Home Great Void, although they don’t need to be brought back. You are no different. That cultivation level is necessary so you can fight against the Celestial Plane’s pulling force that tries to prevent you from leaving.’

The twins understood now. ’So complicated... and Region God? The entire Besgol has only two Law Gods, and it doesn’t seem like any of them are anywhere near becoming Region Gods.’

’Exactly,’ Default confirmed. ’Do you see now how amazing we, the Primordial Demon Beasts, were before? We were all beyond that level when we were at our peak. Hahaha!’

Rean thought about asking the next levels, but felt like there was no point at the moment. They are just too far from it. ’Alright. Thank you for letting us know, Senior Default.’

But then, Rean remembered something. ’Oh, right! Is there any way we can contact you after you go to the Celestial Plane?’

’That would be difficult,’ Default shook his head. ’Communication in the Celestial Plane is complicated due to how far each region is from the others. Something like the Werdlem Network, which covers their entire empire, is not common in the Celestial Plane. Besides, I don’t know how things are at the moment, so I can’t point you in the right direction either. You’d better rely on the information you find up there yourselves. Who knows, perhaps everything I told you just now has also changed.’

’That was good enough,’ Roan didn’t mind. ’Good luck on your return, Senior Default.’

’You too,’ Default said as he prepared to move out. ’We will meet again. Don’t forget I must come to the Great Void sooner or later anyway. Farewell.’

Then, the communication ended.

Clayton, obviously, didn’t hear any of that. ”Seniors, are you okay?”

Rean turned to him. ”We’re fine. We were just thinking about the blockage of our Pocket Dimensional Realms.”

Clayton nodded. ”You will need to use Spatial Rings from now on, so make sure you get rings of good quality. If they break, you will lose everything inside.”

The twins accepted the idea, but now wasn’t the time for them to buy those. The assault of the Godly Creatures was still ongoing.

At that moment, they noticed a shift in the Godly Pressure. Everyone looked in a specific direction, and those who had been to these battles before knew what was going to happen.

”The Godly Predators are here.”
