Chapter 1560 Betting Everyone's Lives
The others thought the twins said that because they were afraid to die in the Upside Down World. Little did they know that the twins were more concerned about their cultivations instead. Fortunately, those top experts didn't want to have the twins far away from their eyes since the twins were their only way out.
Prom immediately nodded in agreement. "Let them come."
Putik and Cesar agreed as well. "Yes, I feel safer to have them within my vision."
Naturally, Clinbay also wanted the same outcome. "Very well, let's bring them over."
Of course, the battle against the creatures never stopped. It's just that there were so many experts, all of them with Divine Water in their spatial rings. Even if they got hit, the Divine Water from the lakes prevented them from transforming.
The twins' group then started to march forward while they left around three hundred cultivators defending their entry point. The other one thousand and seven hundred moved further into the Light Seekers' territory.
However, they quickly noticed a problem. The further they went in, the more white powder they had surrounding them. That means more creatures took form and attacked, forcing their group to leave cultivators and demon beasts behind to create safe points of return. By the time they arrived at the southwest side, only two hundred experts had remained.
The good thing was that they were the cream of the crop in the Upside Down World. Quite a few s.p.a.ce Bending Realm and loads of Void Tempering and Transition Realm cultivators and demon beasts were within them. Only the twins and Celis, who obviously followed the twins, were below that level there.
"It's here. Well, not here, but below us," Rean mentioned.
Clinbay and the other top experts nodded. "Yes, we can feel it as well."
Putik, Prom, and Cesar then looked at Clinbay and said, "You are the best Earth Element cultivator among us, so start excavating already." Wallib and Rikarf agreed with them. "They're right. We are counting on you."
Clinbay knew that those guys simply didn't want to waste more Divine Energy. In any case, he didn't mind and immediately used his Earth Element and Spatial Powers to open a huge hole into the ground. Surprisingly, he wasn't removing the earth. Instead, he was pressing it to the sides to create the pa.s.sage. Following that, he took a few Divine Stones and held them in his hands before jumping inside. He obviously didn't intend to run out of Divine Energy in this place. "Let's go."
Levid and a few more elders of their powers once again stayed behind, saying, "We will protect the entrance. Get rid of whatever's causing this s.h.i.+t as fast as you can."
The distance between the surface and the barrier around the Upside Down World wasn't deep to start with. Now that Clinbay was the one opening the hole, it didn't take them more than a few minutes to arrive at their destination.
Suddenly, the earth below opened, showing an underground facility beneath the Light Seekers' headquarters.
However, what caught everyone's attention was the dome of energy at the very center. Inside, they could see all the elders, ex-leaders, and other top experts of the Light Seekers organization. They were channeling their energy inside what seemed to be an extremely old altar.
The altar itself was completely white, just like the white powder covering all the surroundings.
Giam, the actual leader of the Light Seekers, noticed their presence and was shocked to see them. "How's that possible? No one should be able to come to this place!"
The others immediately looked in the same direction and saw Clinbay's group. "How did they get here?"
Clinbay's group didn't hear what they said due to the distance. Instead, they were trying to make sense of the situation there.
Suddenly, Rean's expression changed, shouting, "Look! The streams!"
"Streams?" Everyone was confused before they paid closer attention to the dome of energy. Only then did they notice that very thin streams of energy seemed to be entering the dome before being absorbed by the altar. However, unlike the white energy of the pillar and the white powder, the streams of energy were unexpectedly colored. "What are those?"
Clinbay quickly recovered before saying, "We can ask them down there. Let's go!"
Immediately, they all began to fly down while a few of the elders stayed behind with the twins and Celis.
Inside the dome, Giam narrowed his eyes before turning to the other elders, saying, "There's no need to panic. Our protective barrier can't be destroyed by people and demon beasts at their level. Continue what you're doing. We need enough energy to open a pa.s.sage out of here. I'll talk to them during that."
Everyone nodded in response, and they ignored Clinbay's group as they poured their energies inside the altar. The altar obviously answered as it continued to absorb that colored energy from the outside.
When Clinbay got close, he noticed that his Divine Sense couldn't pierce through the dome. Without much choice, he could only call Giam's attention. "Giam, I believe? What the h.e.l.l is happening here? Open this barrier straight away and stop what you 'e doing. The entire Upside Down World is collapsing because of this s.h.i.+t."
Giam shook his head in response. "Are you sure you want me to stop? This could potentially open us a pa.s.sage back to the Realm of G.o.ds!"
"What?!" Clinbay and everyone else were taken aback. "Is that true?"
Gaim nodded in response. "Yes. Now, just stand aside and don't bother us. Once the pa.s.sage opens, we will let everyone come with us."
Naturally, everyone had their own concerns about it. However, the main thing was obvious. "If such a good thing is possible, why didn't you tell us? There's no one here who wouldn't help you with it."
Hearing such words from Clinbay made the other experts roll their eyes at him. After all, Clinbay's purging organization also tried to escape alone.
Suddenly, Rean answered that question from afar, saying, "That's because the energy he needs is also the energy that keeps this Upside Down World intact. He's basically betting everyone's lives on this attempt to escape. Am I wrong?"
After hearing that, Giam's expression immediately turned dark.
