Chapter 4158: Again?!
Chapter 4158: Again?!
’What do you think, Sister Orb?’ Rean asked. He was the one who saw the Devil Bird being killed just now. Yet, he couldn’t go further than that, as he wouldn’t be able to hide from both the Divine Senses and the many Legendary-level Formations in place.
[Forget it. The formations here are all made with several layers and redundancies. I feel like if I touch one of them, all the others will scream in alarm. I doubt even using Hick’s Boundaries will be enough to avoid detection.]
Roan was also there, by Rean’s side. ’There is no way we can approach that Reincarnation Path from the surrounding area. Not through normal means, that is.’
Kentucky then asked from within the Dimensional Realm. ’Should we try to create a new identity, but this time as Devils. Pretend to grow up again and all that shit?’
Roan shook his head in response. ’Not only am I not willing to wait that long, but I also highly doubt it would work. What? Some new faces just happened to be too good, and were coming to work in the Reincarnation Path? Anyone would see the same pattern from back in the A1 Universe. If anything, that would only attract unnecessary attention and potential ambushes by the Werdlem Empire.’
Rean agreed with him. ’In fact, instead of building a new identity that would take several thousand years again, it would be better to simply wait that time out. Things might change after that long. Of course, I’m also not willing to lose all that time again.’
Roan turned around, starting to fly away. ’Let’s leave this place. Even at this distance, there is a certain risk that I’m unwilling to take. That thing is a real fortress.’
On the way back, Rean looked at Roan. ’You were the Death Spirit back in the Lisan Universe. Don’t you have an idea of how to approach the Reincarnation Path?’
Roan looked behind as he flew. ’Even the Dead Souls aren’t able to get close without being thoroughly checked. Also, back in Lisan, I was a Death Spirit on the side of the Universe that didn’t have the Reincarnation Path, remember? I know as much about it as you do. It is difficult... But!’
The twins returned to their hiding location and quickly entered the Dimensional Realm. Inside, Roan took out his CD, inputting a certain someone’s number.

Back in Universe A7...
A little fly was traveling in a region called The Maw Beneath the World. Although the name seemed quite catchy, usually there wasn’t anything special about it. You would find your Demon Beast Forests, your Humanoid Cities, your Spirit Sanctuaries, and so on.
The little fly then stopped above a dark and enormous chasm, somewhat shaped like a mountain but going down instead. It extended through hundreds of kilometers, and its bottom was pitch black, with an ominous energy flowing out of it.
The little fly wasn’t the only one present there. Looking around, it could see countless cultivators, beasts, spirits, etc, all seemingly waiting for something. The little fly then took a CD out of his Pocket Dimensional Realm and checked the information inside.
"Yep, this is the place," he murmured to himself.
He looked around and recognized an individual who the little fly was certain to be from the same race as him. So... the little fly approached.
The guy obviously noticed the fly coming close, and he quickly raised his guard, looking ready to fight with everything he had. "Don’t get close. This is not the place for the likes of us to try to eat each other."
The little fly suddenly increased in size, laughing at that reaction. "Hehehe! Don’t worry. I’m well aware that trying to eat each other would be meaningless. First of all, we are both Peak Stage Divinities. There is no point in eating each other, as we wouldn’t gain a single iota of cultivation."
The guy nodded slightly, although he didn’t drop his guard. "I’m Ducku, a Soul Devil from the Dried Clover region of the Underworld."
The fly nodded. "I’m Beelzebub... I’d rather not talk about my origins, if you don’t mind. Obviously, I’m also a Soul Devil. I approached you because I wanted to ask when the Market of Eternal Exchange will open."
Ducku took a look at his CD. He had been waiting here for over a few millennia already and wasn’t paying much attention to the time. "The Market of Eternal Exchange doesn’t have a precise opening time, but there is always a minimal gap between each opening. Last time it opened was 23600 years ago, so the window is already open. It could open in the next second, or it could open in the next two to three thousand years at most. It all depends on the mood of the Death Essences inside."
Beelzebub didn’t mind. "That’s good enough. As long as I know I’m here in time, that’s all that matters. I’ll take my leave now."
As Beelzebub got away from Ducku, his CD once again activated. He checked the number, immediately recognizing the twins.
"What are you bothering me for? I’m not going to help you. I already have plenty on my plate while I’m looking for my Celestial Laws of Hunger."
-Here’s the thing...- Roan then explained what happened so far and where they were at the moment. -So, we simply can’t find a way in. You were a Soul Devil and lived close to the Reincarnation Path for a very long time. If someone has any ideas on how to get into the Reincarnation Path without being detected, that someone has to be you.-
"So that’s what it is all about, uh?" Beelzebub understood. "I’ve heard everything, including the part where there is no Reincarnation. Truth be told, I’ve done my own little investigation, and I think there is a way for you to get in there. However, you will have to leave Werdlem Universe for it to work."
-Again?!- Rean’s voice echoed from the other side as he pushed Roan away. -But we just managed to get here!-
-Get the fuck out!- Roan then kicked Rean and appeared on the video feed once more. -What is it we need to do?-
Beelzebub faintly smiled. "I hope you aren’t afraid of dying."
