Chapter 2488 We Can Only Give It a Try

Rean, Roan, and Celis immediately went silent. As much as they didn't want to admit it, Kentucky's words held some truth. A Soul Devil is basically all about the absorption of souls. They needed countless souls to get to the Divinity Realm. Also, there is one thing they can't escape from. At the Space-Time Realm, they must start comprehending a law, or they won't advance either. 

That said, it is very likely that the law Soul Devils need to progress through the Space-Time Realm is indeed Absorption Laws. Even if it is not, it is most likely something similar. Because Soul Devils are a mix of countless dead souls, they definitely don't have a normal Elemental Affinity since the affinities of the souls that made the Soul Devils would clash with each other. 

"I understand what you mean..." Roan then accessed the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and pulled an item out. Well, it wasn't exactly an item. Instead, it was the sleeve of a soul that was sealed. Back after they acquired the Universe Foundation Fragment from Belial, Beelzebub tried to attach a small piece of his Soul to Roan. (Chapter 2078)

However, Roan already expected that and waited until they departed from each other. Once they were safe, Roan entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, and Sister Orb found that sleeve of a soul straight away. She even asked if they wanted to destroy it, but Roan told her to keep it sealed in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm as it might be of some use in the future.

"Is that really okay?" Rean looked at Roan as he asked. "Other than the agreement that we wouldn't attack or use any method capable of causing any problems for both parties for a thousand years, we have nothing. What could we possibly offer as a payment for his help in creating this new pill? Besides, this sleeve of a soul only works as some kind of call-out. We can't really talk to Beelzebub and will have to wait for him to come and see us. Not to mention that he might still be recovering in the Reincarnation Path Region, so who can tell if he will come or not."

Celis agreed with Rean. "Let's not forget that even if he wanted to come, he can't. The Temporal Path in the Realm of Gods is now blocked and protected by a powerful formation that could endanger even Elder Devils. Beelzebub isn't an idiot. Most likely, he is aware of the situation on this side since searching souls is a piece of cake to him. Even if we release his sleeve of a soul, Beelzebub would never attempt such a suicide journey like this."

Kentucky then asked Rean. "But we have senior Flinyu's token, don't we, Rean? Can't we simply use it to enter the Temporal Path and then go to the Underworld? Once we get there, we can release the seal on his soul and let him come to see us. Since neither he nor us can cause trouble for each other, we at least know he won't try to kill us."

"Now that I think about it, how long has it been since we made this agreement with Beelzebub?" Rean suddenly asked.

Sister Orb immediately answered, as she had the system to keep track of everything. [Don't worry. Only 47 years have gone by since the agreement. Good thing that Roan stipulated in their pact that the time used for the agreement was the normal time of the Realm of Gods. That way, neither you nor Beelzebub can use any type of time acceleration trick to make it look like either of you waited a thousand years already.]

Rean sighed. "The time acceleration of the Dimensional Realm truly makes it hard to keep track of everything. Thanks, Sister Orb."

He then went back to the main topic. "I do have senior Flinyu's token, but it is also extremely risky. That's because the Devils are definitely also protecting their own entrance to the Temporal Path. After all, now that the Realm of Gods and Heavens have taken control over their entrances, the Devils just don't know who or when someone might appear at theirs."

Celis also added. "Last but not least, Beelzebub wants to use this sleeve of a soul to come after us after the one thousand years is up so that he can acquire our Fragments. Even if we do make it to the Underworld and are safe there, would he come out now that he doesn't owe us any favors?"

Following that, Celis looked at Roan. "I say... We better just use my own understanding to help you create this new pill recipe. I don't think the risk we would take in trying to return to the Underworld would be worth it."

Roan wasn't very happy with that, but he was also surprised that Celis voted against it. "For you to say you don't want to go is quite unexpected. You definitely love to cultivate more than anything else. With Beelzebub's help, this pill might truly be ready in just a few years."

Celis nodded. "What good is there to have this pill recipe if we are not alive to use it? Once again, this is a very delicate time to approach the Underworld. It's not like Heavens, where we have a way to contact Weremis so that he can speak for us."

"Fine." Roan decided to accept Celis's refusal. "In that case, we have only you to rely upon to research a recipe for this Absorption Laws Pill."

"Not really," Kentucky once again intervened. "Demon Plants are rare, but they exist and even form their own group, just like the Lahamina Earth Trees. How about calling Flinyu and see if he can point us to a Space-Time or maybe even a Divinity Realm World Swallowing Cedar? Considering how fast your race cultivates, sure there is one or two strong enough to help us, no?"

Celis had his concerns. "As I mentioned, the core of a Demon Plant of the same race is extremely useful, let alone one at the Space-Time Realm like mine. Most Demon Plant Races would unify instead of hunting each other, but there are exceptions. Simply put... I don't know if someone of my race would be willing to help."

"We can only give it a try," said Rean as he immediately pulled his communication badge out.
