Death… And Me

Chapter 1697 We Will Do That

Govin narrowed his eyes in response but decided to not ask any further. The important ones, Rean, Roan, and Erla, were already coming to join the Jhiod Sect anyway.

Govin then grabbed everyone with his Divine Energy and took flight. Not only that, his very high control over space made the space itself bend around him and his group. The front would be pulled back before being returned to its position after Govin flew into it. There was barely any wind, and Govin wasnʼt flying fast at all. But with that space movement, he was faster than the twins or any of the successful participants could ever dream of being at this moment.

Thousands of kilometers passed in that manner until finally, they arrived at the continental barrier between Lebgram and Jhiod Continents. Only then did the twins see the portal that connected to the other side.

However, Rean and Roan bitterly smiled after that. It was more correct to say that it was a huge tunnel. They didnʼt know how, but this tunnel was keeping the continental barrierʼs power away, making traversing it an effortless job. Of course, there was no lack of protection from the Jhiod Sectʼs experts.

The reason the twins bitterly smiled was that they didnʼt need to take the twelve tests at all to complete the systemʼs mission. Since there was a tunnel free of any interference between the two continents, the twins could have gotten a few tens of kilometers away from it before entering the Dimensional Realm. There, they could have pointed the Circuitry Teleport Formation in the direction of that tunnel and teleported up to a thousand kilometers away to the other side. They couldnʼt select their destination properly, but they could at least set the teleport direction. At most, they would appear a few tens of kilometers up high in the skies or deep into the ground. Regardless of the outcome, it would have been easy to return to the surface.

The reason they didnʼt do that before was that the Circuitry Teleport Formation didnʼt work through the continental barrier. After all, the barrierʼs power affected the spatial connection of the Circuitry Teleport Formation. If they tried to use it, they would simply throw themselves into the continental barrier without any protection since the teleport would have been cut short. That was guaranteed death at their level. The tunnel they saw, on the other hand, was completely devoid of that danger. The best thing was that no one would notice that teleport since it originated from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. ʼWe could have saved so much time...ʼ

Roan nodded, saying, ʼIndeed. In any case, we didnʼt know that the Jhiod Sect would keep something this big open all the time. Let alone that the tunnel would not be affected by the continental barrier. Their methods are definitely a lot more developed than any other continentʼs power weʼve seen so far.ʼ

When Govin arrived at the tunnelʼs front, a few cultivators and demon beasts blocked his pass. However, all Govin had to do was show them some strange item, and all those guys opened the way for him. Soon after, he used his space control to fly through the tunnel the same way he had been doing so far. In just a few seconds, the twins and everyone that had completed the twelve tests in a row arrived in Jhiod Continent.

*Pin!*

[Congratulation, Hosts! You have arrived at Jhiod Continent without relying on the Top Five Powersʼ Influence.]

[Quest Completion Time: Eleven Months and Two Weeks]

[Quest Reward: 300000 Destiny Points.]

The twins sighed in relief after that. It was finally done. They participated in twelve tests, and each test happened a month after the previous one. However, they only had to wait a week to participate in the first test. Considering the time to gather information and other things, the total time from the start to the finish of the quest was less than one year.

As Govin flew with everyone, Rean took the opportunity to ask Sister Orb, ʼHow many Destiny Points do we have now? With everything that happened because of us in the Jhiod Sectʼs recruitment building, we must have obtained quite a few extra Destiny Points through the normal way, right?ʼ

Sister Orb agreed with Rean. [You did. However, the effects of your doings can only be felt up to a million kilometers, as you both know. If the repercussion of whatever you accomplished happened outside that range, the system doesnʼt detect it.]

Sister Orb continued. [Nonetheless, the Jhiod Sectʼs recruitment building was full of geniuses from several places, so their interactions with you had already generated changes. Anyway, you had 31453 Destiny Points before. After this year of tests, that amount has grown to 74983. Well, you got this many exactly because of the influence the participants themselves had. After all, they were within the systemʼs range while taking part in the test. After this systemʼs reward, you now have 374983 Destiny Points available.]

Rean couldnʼt help but sigh again after that. ʼIt seems like weʼre still quite far away from our objective.ʼ

As mentioned before by Celis, the Dimensional Realm already lacked the space for more demon beasts in the Demon Beast Forest. Thatʼs why the twins didnʼt recruit anyone else after that. They had decided to put the other rewards aside for the moment and wait until they got 500000 Destiny Points. That was the cost of the Dimensional Realm Upgrade.

Roan didnʼt seem to mind. ʼAs our cultivation grows, the more our actions are affecting influential beings around us. It only took us a year and something to get another 42k Destiny Points. Thatʼs already fast enough. We can use these extra years we need to accumulate Destiny Points to consolidate the Systemʼs Sect power.ʼ

Rean agreed with Roan, saying in response, ʼTrue. Because we couldnʼt leave the Jhiod Sectʼs building, we hadnʼt had a chance to check the disciples in the Dimensional Realm. All we could do was observe. We should do that once we establish ourselves somewhere safe.ʼ

Roan agreed with him, replying, ʼWe will do that.ʼ
