Chapter 2485 Celis's Predicament

While a certain bird was trembling, the group finally started their breakthroughs. They also did it outside of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, afraid that the moment they were supposed to touch the laws, the dimensional realm might get in the way. After all, it was capable of blocking pretty much any kind of signal and perception.

Several hundred Divine Origin Energy Cores surrounded each of them, making the environment quite stagnant with so much energy. That was to guarantee there would be no lack of energy. Finally, they started their breakthroughs. Rean and Roan followed the cultivation manual, while Celis and Kentucky followed their instincts.

The initial part was easy, and they quickly reached the point in between both realms. However, that's where things got troublesome. Sure, they had to feel the laws that are now there... but how? In the end, that was something that couldn't be explained. They could only rely on themselves.

The state in which they weren't in either of the realms continued for several hours, and the Divine Origin Energy Cores were being used nonstop. That went to show why Space-Time Realm experts were so rare. It wasn't just about reaching the peak of the Elemental Space Realm but also having enough resources to keep that state. If one failed, they would need to go out and amass more Divine Stones to try again. Just how long would it take? Fortunately, the twins' group had no problems with resources.

Surprisingly, the very first one of them to finally notice something was Kentucky. Roan had scared him so much that every fiber of his body was focused on trying to feel the laws. Of course, he didn't feel both laws at the same time. Instead, the first one he noticed was Darkness. Kentucky felt like the Dark Element around him transformed, becoming something more tangible. At the same time, it didn't. 'So these are the laws of darkness...'

Kentucky couldn't even tell which was which at the moment. Nonetheless, it was like riding a bicycle. Once Kentucky understood how to feel the laws of Darkness, he would never forget it again. Kentucky then quickly calmed down. He felt like that if he wanted, he could try to push for the breakthrough with the Laws of Darkness. However, Jeskli had already warned him. If he tried to go forward with one of the two only, his cultivation would deviate and he would suffer a huge backlash, ultimately even losing cultivation instead of advancing to the next realm.

Whether it was because of their connection with Kentucky or because Kentucky did that right on their side, Rean and Roan also felt like something changed. The Laws of Darkness suddenly showed themselves for them, giving the twins the same perception as Kentucky did. 

However, that immediately surprised both of them. After all, Rean and Roan could feel each other. That meant both Rean and Roan knew that Rean had just touched the Laws of Darkness!

"This..." Rean extended his hand and felt like he could call the Dark Element in the surroundings as easily as he could the Light Element. The surprising part of this was that he wasn't exchanging elements with Roan. That was his ability alone. "Seems like our connection goes beyond even the Laws of the Universe, Roan."

Roan nodded, quickly understading that Rean now could use the Laws of Darkness. "Indeed. If that's the case, then the same goes for me and the Laws of Light. Focus and try to touch the Laws of Light. Our connection should give me the necessary push to touch them as well."

Rean was doubtful, though. "Is it wise? If we try to break through while connecting with both laws, doesn't that mean we will need to comprehend both at the same time to break through the stages of the Space-Time Realm?"

Roan shook his head. "Since our connection allowed you to touch the Laws of Darkness because of me, that means you probably can also comprehend the laws that I do. You will focus on your Laws of Light, while I will focus on my Laws of Darkness. We will learn two for the price of one."

"How do you know?" Rean asked back.

However, Roan shook his head. "I don't. This is just a conjecture. Nonetheless, I don't think it is a bad thing. During our entire lives on this side of the Universe, we have always fought and improved by using both Light and Dark Elements. If we now only use the laws of one side, our main strength, which is the union of Yin and Yang, will be severely affected. It might indeed take twice as long to cultivate in the future, but this is something we need."

Roan's words dispelled all of Rean's doubt, so he didn't hold back anymore and fully touched the Laws of Darkness, creating that link that could never be severed again. Following that, Rean returned to his meditative state, trying to grasp the Laws of Light.

Several hours later, the next one to grasp his laws was Celis. The twins and Kentucky looked at him and felt like his tree form had just got a lot more vivid. His leaves got greener, his trunk sturdier, and his roots nimbler. It was obvious that touching the Laws of Wood had a huge effect on a Demon Plant like him to the point it showed on his body.

Yet, Celis didn't stop there. "No... this is not it... There is something missing..."

Rean, Roan, and Kentucky heard that and didn't know what to say. Only Celis could feel his breakthrough at the moment. Whatever it was that he was missing, only Celis could resolve.

More hours went by, and over half of the Divine Origin Energy Cores they brought out initially had already lost their energy. It was also at this moment that Rean finally touched that elusive light... the Laws of Light! 'It's here!' He didn't hold back and fully connected himself with that feeling, making sure it would never disappear again.

At the same time he did that, Roan followed suit. Roan was right in the end. It was due to their soul connection that Rean was able to feel and create a connection with the Laws of Darkness. Now, Rean's enlightenment also allowed Roan to touch the Laws of Light, which he quickly created a connection with. 

Now... Rean and Roan were ready for their breakthrough. It's just that they couldn't do it yet since neither Kentucky nor Celis were over with theirs... but not for long. 

It still took another 40 or so minutes, but Kentucky finally got there. The Laws of Light were a lot more active in the area after Rean and Roan's first connection with it, and that made it easier for Kentucky as well. That made Rean and Roan sure that it was thanks to Kentucky that Roan initially touched the Laws of Darkness. Now, they paid the favor.

Kentucky sighed in relief and looked at the twins, excited. "I'm also ready!"

Rean and Roan nodded as they looked at Celis. They knew Cesli had already touched the Laws of Wood, so they didn't understand why he wasn't ready. If anything, he was supposed to be the first of them during the moment he did that. Of course, they didn't bother him. Instead, they replenished the Divine Origin Energy Cores around him, making sure Celis had everything he needed.

Yet, that situation dragged itself for over a day! Rean, Roan, and Kentucky were even starting to feel tired. They had kept that very thin connection with the Laws of Light and Darkness all this time, just waiting for the moment they could break through.You'll discover the inception of this content at n0v@lbin★

"Could it be we are going to fail here?" Roan couldn't help but comment.

Rean sighed. "Perhaps... and it wasn't even because of Kentucky. Who could have thought that?"

Kentucky's eye twitched a little. "Fuck you!"

Rean laughed a little when suddenly, Divine Origin Energy began to be absorbed at a much greater speed by Celis roots. 

It far surpassed his previous limit at the Elemental Space Realm. No, it was just ridiculously fast, not something that could be explained with just the breakthrough between realms. "I see... I... am a World Swallowing Cedar..."
