Chapter 2824: The Answer Was Obvious
Even though many Devils could be found around, patrolling the area, it was fairly easy for the twins' group to hide from them. It would be ridiculous to have Divinity Realm experts and above doing the patroling, after all.
The entrance to the reincarnation path was enormous, extending hundreds of thousands of kilometers. It looked like a giant bean of gray light that disappeared towards the skies. It kinda resembled the Foundation Pillar but on a much, much smaller scale with obviously different colors and energies.
Beelzebub didn't go straight inside. Instead, he brought the twins and Kafan around the light, looking for a specific entry point.
"Is there any difference regarding the area we enter?" Rean couldn't help but ask.
"There is," Beelzebub nodded. "Usually, all you see when you get inside is an empty white space as the countless Dead Souls move towards the center. It's that central point that will wipe out your memories and then put you into the Reincarnation Path properly said."
The twins remembered the second part. When they were teleported to the cultivation side of the Universe, they did fall into the stream of souls. Countless images passed by them, and each one had a soul falling inside. Those were the locations where they were being
reincarnated. Eventually, the twins were pulled into one of those entrances and ended up being Hamarlia's children.
"Many years later, I recovered my strength and even surpassed it, reaching a level equivalent to a Middle Stage Divinity Realm expert." One must not forget that Soul Devils don't really have the same cultivation stages as other living beings. Their whole strength is based on how many dead souls they have, their soul energy, and their concentration. That is one more reason why reaching the Semi-Celestial Level like the other races do is impossible for Soul Devils.
"Was that when you acquired the Fragment and entered the Reincarnation Path?" Rean asked, curious.
"What? Of course not!" Beelzebub looked at Rean as if he was looking at an idiot. "I knew nothing about what I would find inside that hidden path, so how could I risk bringing a fragment inside without knowing anything? The first thing I did was to return to the Reincarnation Path and enter it. This time, I went for the sole purpose of investigating that hidden path."
Beelzebub continued to move as he thought about the past. "I went in fully prepared, with plenty of Dead Souls and Soul Energy at my disposal. Finally, I reached that Hideen Path and entered it."
Everyone held their breaths as they looked at Beelzebub. "So? What was inside?"
Yet, Beelzebub's expression went weird at that point. "Nothing..."
"What?!" None of them believed that. "It can't be, right? Nothing? Nothing what?" "Nothing!" Beelzebub complained. "There wasn't fucking anything inside. It was a total and completely empty space, very much like a new Dimensional Realm where you haven't added anything inside yet. No cultivation energies, no air, no light, no laws, no elements, no nothing. Really, in the truest meaning possible, there was nothing! And it wasn't anything big either. The Spatial Barriers of that space that separated it from the outside were no more than a few tens of kilometers long."
Beelzebub then sighed. "Back then, I truly felt like I lost a lot of time. Well, turns out that was also a very good place to hide if there was ever a need for it. When I acquired the Fragment in the Realm of Gods and returned to the Underworld, I had to hide for a while. Well, guess where I went?"
Rean, Roan, and Kafan nodded. The answer was obvious.
