Chapter 2805: The Trials
Beelzebub was already a Peak Divinity Realm expert when he was sealed. However, that special time when one can try to break through into the Celestial Realm would never arrive for him. Soul Devils’ cultivations were different from all other races of the Universe, after all.
The Soul Devils always thought that there was only one way to get that chance, and that was to acquire Semi-Celestial Realm or Celestial Realm souls to absorb. Beelzebub always thought he would need to create some plan to kill a Semi-Celestial and that it would be extremely risky. He never expected that two of such souls would one day appear near him.
In fact, there weren’t only two, but six of those souls. Let’s not forget that two Semi- Celestials died in the battle at the Foundation Pillar, while another four were killed by Hyeoumu. Still, even with Beelzebub’s senses, he was only able to notice these two souls.
Dead Souls appear randomly around the Reincarnation Path area. The fact that two of these souls appeared near enough for Beelzebub to notice their presence was already a huge luck. The reason Beelzebub didn’t absorb these two souls straight away was very simple. He recovered to the Divinity Realm level, but he wasn’t at the Peak Stage yet. Only at the Peak Stage would one have the chance to attempt a breakthrough, and Beelzebub wasn’t an exception, even as a Soul Devil.
It wasn’t a problem, though. He might not have acquired the souls of more Semi-Celestial Experts, but he definitely got plenty of those at the Divinity Realm and below. He just needed to spend his time to slowly absorb them and recover his power. “Belial. It won’t be long before I eat you.”
Back in the Realm of Gods…
Rean arrived back in the Leviathans’ Dimensional Realm a few days later and quickly resumed his work. The formations masters and Romario didn’t waste time either. They all brought their changes into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to test in the simulator. With that, the swap formation construction was back in full force.
—
Another year and a half went by in that fashion. During this time, Roan had to drag Rean out of the Leviathans’ Dimensional Realm, or he would never stop working on the Swap Formation. The twins’ group got their Dantians and Cores saturated for cultivating too much. To get them back to normal, the best was was battle and training. Roan
would definitely not allow Rean to lag behind and force Celis, Kentucky, and himself to wait. Celis was especially hyped with that and followed Roan’s methods by the book. For him, the worst thing was not to be able to cultivate.
Rean had to balance Roan’s schedule with his work in the Leviathans’ Dimensional Realm. Nonetheless, Romario was there, and he was a Peak Divity Realm Angel. He was perfect for such training and gladly followed Roan’s plans to help Rean.
Finally, Rean and Romario finished their work, and the first test for the Swap Formation was to be carried out.
Droman and Vigs, two of the four main Formations Masters of the System Sect, were gathered on an island in the Mirror Sea. This Mirror Sea wasn’t the real one, though. It was the one inside the Replica Dimensional Realm. With them, you could find Havek, who also worked with them nonstop until now. Havek’s sect came several times to ask him to return, but he ignored it all the time. Rean was happy he stayed, but he wondered if Havek would eventually lose his position in the Rambram Sect.
“Alright, Rean, can you hear me?” Havek contacted Rean through his communication badge.
Inside the real Dimensional Realm of the Leviathans, Rean and Romario accompanied the work of the various formations masters around. “Seems like the connection is going through without any issue. We are ready on our side, Havek.”
“Then let’s start!” Havek and the formations masters there didn’t waste time and quickly activated the Swap Formation on the Island where he was standing with Vigs and Droman.
Rean and Romario did the same with the help of their formations masters. Tens of thousands of spatial runes were activated at the same time. Soon, the runes responsible for the link between the real and fake dimensional realms connected.
Droman and Romario watched the information passing on the screen connected to the formations and nodded. “Seems like everything is fine. Give it a try.”
Rean and Havek heard that and started the swap. The Island, having several tens of kilometers in diameter, was covered by spatial power and laws. Suddenly, an intense flash of Silver Light occurred for a split second, and everything went back to normal.
The two groups on both sides quickly checked their own state. The Swap Formation was made so that the living beings wouldn’t be affected. The only thing that was supposed to be swapped was the land and the Core of the Dimensional Realm. That’s why they all stood on the islands to test it out.
Rean then collected a few stones from the ground and couldn’t help but smile. “Seems like it worked quite well.”
On the replica dimensional realm, Havek also confirmed the success of the experiment. “Indeed. There were a few alarms in the status shown on the screens, but nothing really hard to get around.”
Havek and Rean had rearranged the stones around the Islands to know if the Islands they were stepping on were still the same or not. From the positions of the stones, they were now sure the two Islands had swapped places.
Romario checked the information Havek pointed out and agreed with him. “Indeed, we need to iron it out. Nonetheless, it is a big success. Let’s get into the codes and analyze the runes that presented issues. By tomorrow, I want to give it another try.”
“Agreed.” Everyone nodded and returned to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.
On the next day, another swap was concluded. But this time, no more errors were found. From there on, the groups increased the area of effect of the swaps, looking for flaws. It took another month and a half, but they finally reached the point where they could give the whole formation a try. “Time to acquire one more fragment.”
