Death… And Me-Chapter 1878: The Spirits' Nature

Chapter 1878: The Spirits' Nature

The Spirit Stream wasn't something created by the spirits, though. It had been there way before the spirits took control of this side of the center of the Realm of Gods. In fact, the Spirit Streams extended way beyond the center.

Unlike the humanoid races' territories, the spirits did not have any border between the center of the Realm of Gods and the far away continents. Any spirit that had the ability to do so could come to the center of the Realm of Gods at any time.

In fact, the same thing happened in the demon beasts' territories. It's just that, as demon beasts, they were a lot more 'territorial.' That meant any demon beast trying to take place in the center of the Realm of Gods would need to win that spot through sheer strength.

In the spirits' case, such things rarely ever happened. After all, the spirits were known for being a peaceful bunch. There wasn't even a need to fight over the territory since spirits were fewer in number to start with. Above all, most spirits had connections with their own lands. Many spirits born far away in the Realm of Gods would never try to leave their land unless necessary. A good example was Rana's Fairy Race. Once they took root in a place, they simply stayed there.

One must not think about the spirits as weak, though. Just the fact that spirits could hide from the naked eye from anyone below the Void Tempering Realm was already a dreadful asset. It literally meant they could launch sneak attacks and destroy entire cities without the other side being able to do anything against them.

Sure, the top experts of the powers were their real strength. Above the Void Tempering Realm, the spirits couldn't hide. However, spirits could also fight, which meant they wouldn't simply die if attacked. Also, the main problem was indeed those below the Void Tempering Realm. Such beings were the root and foundation of any power, including devils and angels. Let alone demon beasts and humanoids. The spirit races had the power to completely destroy this foundation with their natural concealment ability.

That being said, the spirits had always been able to hold a tight grip on their territory, and neither humanoids nor demon beasts attacked them. That didn't mean they couldn't win, though. But that didn't mean they would assuredly win either. Above all, the costs would be too great and not worth it.

Going back to the Spirit Streams, they looked more like a bunch of veins that connected the spirit races' territories. If there were reasons for anyone to try and take the spirit races' territory in the future, the Spirit Stream would be one of the huge reasons. Unfortunately, even the spirits didn't know how to recreate such a thing. The stream wasn't something anyone could copy, or at least not for now.

With that being said, the spirits also couldn't select where the Spirit Streams passed through. That also meant Gamaia City had no Spirit Stream. Rean and Triwe would need to head to another city and take the Spirit Stream from there.

The good thing was that Gamaia, as a Traversal City, was one of the few cities in the spirit races' territory that had a Formation Guild. Thus, it also had teleport formations. It's just that the teleport formations there could only send so far. At the very least, they were connected with a city that had a Spirit Stream.

Triwe and Rean stepped on the teleport formation before it activated. As always, their vision blurred for a moment before they appeared on the other side.

"Let me see, this should be Tamoula City, right?" asked Rean as he looked inside a jade slip. Before leaving Gamaia, he went to a shop and bought a general map of the continent. The Azure Lilibels were located several continents away, but he could buy more maps later.

"That's correct." Triwe nodded as he looked at his own map. He had never come to the spirit races' territory, after all. "Let's head outside. The Spirit Stream should be visible straight away."

Rean nodded, and the two stepped out of the Formation Guild. Immediately, their attention was caught by the huge 'river' of rainbow-colored energy passing far above their heads. Rean almost thought that he was looking at the continental barriers but quickly discarded the idea. The continental barriers usually came from below, and that thing was far above in the skies. "That's huge!"

Triwe agreed with him. "If you pay close attention, you'll see the several spirits who transport other races through the Stream."

Rean narrowed his eyes in response, and sure enough, he could see very small dots passing by at frightening speeds. If not because of his cultivation, he wouldn't have noticed them at all. Obviously, they looked like dots due to the difference in size between the 'passengers' and the Stream itself. 'Kentucky can only dream of ever flying that fast. I guess he wouldn't be that quick even at the Space Bending Realm.'

Rean then looked at Triwe with a smile. "No wonder a month is enough to cross an entire continent. However, how do acceleration and deacceleration work? If we're suddenly shot at that speed, I don't know if our bodies can resist it."

Triwe shook his head, replying, "That's why the Stream is so good. We can't feel it because we aren't at the Void Tempering Realm yet. However, the stream's power affects space itself. This power found inside will make it look like we aren't accelerating at all. It would seem more like space is bending in our direction. Of course, from the outside, it does look like the guys inside are traveling at breakneck speeds."

​ Rean couldn't help but sigh after hearing that. "Such an amazing transportation method and completely free for all spirits. How good would it be if the humanoid races could copy it?"

Triwe shrugged his shoulders in response. "Would it be good, I wonder? That also means moving entire armies through several continents and record speeds. One of the greatest problems in war is the distance between targets in the Realm of Gods. Sure, there are teleport formations, but moving armies with them costs huge sums of Divine Stones."

Rean had to admit Triwe was right. "Perhaps it only works here because of the spirits' nature."
