Kentucky and Celis sighed in relief. "No wonder Sister Orb said that only when Divinity Realm experts came out would they be able to stop the Flash Beasts. We were absolutely no match for any of those two. The only advantage is that they don't know how to use their powers correctly. Otherwise..."
Rean quickly looked at Sister Orb. "Sister Orb, those were two Flash Beasts, two! Weren't they supposed to be beasts that sought Divine Energy at all costs? How come they weren't attacking each other? Each of those Flash Beasts had a crazy amount of chaotic energy inside them. They should be trying to devour each other, no?"
Sister Orb couldn't answer. [Why are you asking me? Even a single Flash Beast is already a ridiculously rare occurrence. I have absolutely no information about two Flash Beasts appearing at the same time. How do you expect to answer why they aren't attacking each other? Perhaps they have some sense of kinship that prevents it. Or maybe their instincts are telling them that fighting each other would be too dangerous. I don't know...]
Roan immediately shook his head. "No, those two weren't completely devoid of intelligence. Didn't you see? They were attacking everything around them when they suddenly stopped. They looked deeper into this crack, and as if something was calling them, they immediately left. That was not the kind of action a mindless beast would demonstrate."
Sister Orb was showing the outside world to everyone, so they saw what happened outside. Because those Flash Beasts didn't use any Spatial Type attacks, the entrance of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm didn't receive any attacks. Those bolts of lightning could cause space itself to break around them. Still, without knowing exactly where to aim, it wasn't of much use.
Kentucky then looked up. "Well, I guess this pretty much decides it, no? Let's go back. There is no way we can go further down with those things right there."
Celis agreed with Kentucky. "He is right. As Sister Orb explained in the past, Flash Beasts can sense Divine Energy. Their own lives depend on Divine Energy, after all. It's a type of tracking ability that we can not hide. If we go out again, the Divine Energy in our Dantians and Demon Cores will be the same as a beacon of light in the middle of Darkness. Even Rean's Light and Divine Sense Bending Skill won't be able to hide it."
They were all curious as to why there were Flash Beasts deep inside the cracks where the Continental barrier originates. Unfortunately, they simply didn't have the strength to investigate further.
However, Roan shook his head. "It doesn't matter anymore. Didn't you see? A Flash Beast appeared on our backs without us even noticing. Regardless if we go up or down, it doesn't seem likely we can escape. We have gone down for three days straight since the fragments of Convergence Crystals appeared."
"We can simply use the Circuitry Teleport Formation... or so I wanted to say," Rean lamented. "Unfortunately, the Continental Barrier remnant energy is keeping all the Elements and energy in a chaotic state, which includes space. If we use it, we will be teleported somewhere randomly in this universe."
Kentucky quickly raised his wing. "I still vote to go up. We can keep hiding in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm every time they appear. Sooner or later, we will leave the range of their senses."

Roan admitted that it might be their only option. However, he noticed that Luan seemed to be in deep thought on his side. "What is it, Luan?"
"Ah!" Luan was startled by Roan's sudden call. "Sorry, Father. I was just thinking... How come these Flash Beasts never came out before? Is there anything here that prevents them from going out?"
Roan understood what Luan meant. "Are you saying that we might also be trapped down here?"
Luan nodded before continuing. "Indeed. Otherwise, Continental Barrier Spirits like Fluki wouldn't be able to live. They are spirits, and spirits are basically Energy Life Forms. Sister Orb said that the Continental Barriers prevented the Flash Beasts from sensing Divine Energy on the other side. But what if they are inside? Still, they didn't go out."
"We can only give it a try," said Kentucky. "Let's go up and see if we will really be barred." In any case, he truly didn't want to go down anymore.
Roan felt somewhat unwilling. He truly wanted to see what could cause the Continental Barrier's disappearance. However, he wasn't going to just put himself in such great danger for his curiosity. "Alright, let's try to go up first."
Around an hour later, Rean appeared outside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. He waited this long to make sure the Flash Beasts wouldn't come back. Right after, he flew upwards as fast as he could. Since hiding Divine Energy wasn't possible, he might as well use as much as he could to leave this place quickly.
However, the flashes of colored light that they saw going down were now going up. Just like before, it was as if they were trying to avoid Rean, who was alone this time. Roan and the others observed from inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm as Rean went up. However, it was then that Rean noticed something further up.
All the flashes of colored light he had seen running away from him seemed to gather together. Or, to be more precise, they simply couldn't go up anymore. When Rean approached, they chose another direction, flying sideways instead. Rean tried to grab one of them, but they were too fast, even for his speed at the Elemental Space Realm Peak Stage.
Rean then shook his head and continued to go up. However...
*Ugh...*
Rean felt like his body was trying to fly through some kind of Invisible Flexible Wall. The further ahead he went, the stronger the force was trying to push him down. Finally, he was lost in the struggle, and his body bounced back like a comet. It took him quite a distance to stabilize his body. "What the hell is this shit?"
