Chapter 4792 Departing The Lower Realms
*Bzzz!~*
After the Second Dark Apostle left, spatial energy brimmed in the skies, causing everyone to look above.
A shimmering spatial gate materialized before them against the backdrop of the clear blue sky. The gate appeared to be a blend of black and silver. It seemed like a portal forged from pure energy, radiating an otherworldly glow.
Three figures stepped out from it.
"Whoa, I didn't expect to come back this fast. Traveling using the ring is really quick." A purple-robed woman cheered excitedly as she gazed around.
"It should be the case in the Lower Realms." A white-robed woman nodded.
"Stella, you're back~" Mingzhi's eyes glinted with eagerness, not expecting her trip to be completed so soon.
"Yes, it's a success!"
Stella excitedly responded, causing the gazes of the others to flicker.
What was a success? What exactly did they succeed in?
"Perfect!" Mingzhi threw a fist into the air and pumped it.
She then turned around, panning her gaze at the Davis Family's combined forces. With a wave of her hand, she sealed the space around her while the spatial gate receded.
"Everyone, we're done with preparations. Please be ready the next day to enter the Upper Realms."
"What?" Soaren was confused as he blurted out.
The others were also confused.
How were they supposed to get to the Upper Realms the next day?
"She meant that we need to be ready for a long journey." Drake chuckled.
"No, I literally meant that you all should be ready to face our enemies in the Upper Realms the next day if required."
"What?" This time, even Drake quacked like a duck.
If they were going to enter the Upper Realms tomorrow, then were they going to use the spatial vortexes that appeared in the Lower Realms to enter the Upper Realms? Wouldn't that totally flatten them?
Mingzhi's lips curled behind her black veil. She cupped her hands, "I won't say much. Just believe us as you always have and be ready to defend or strike when needed tomorrow."
"If sister Mingzhi says so, then we'll continue to follow." Andiron cupped his hands, returning the gesture.
"Right, sister Mingzhi has always been consistent and brilliant. We're willing to follow." Soaren nodded with a distant look as he cast a gaze towards the sun, "I'm curious to see what the Upper Realms hold for us. Whether we live or die could be decided tomorrow."
"Indeed." Drake also cupped his hands towards his friends, "It has been a good run, fellas."
"Haha, don't talk about dying so easily." Andiron laughed heartily, "You're just starting to grow up like Davis. Make sure you leave a way out for yourself since you're still unknown."
Drake shrugged, "We aren't life and death brothers for nothing. It's just- would we meet him there? It's been a long time since I last saw him, unable to meet because I was holed up in another realm."
He asked as he turned to look at the ladies.
Mingzhi shook her head, "We're not sure."
Drake looked sorrowful, "Alright, if he's somewhere else, then that means we'll most likely live."
"You-"
Isabella and the others glared at him while the men laughed. They then escaped, leaving the field before they could get yelled at.
Mingzhi smilingly shook her head before gesturing for Stella to transport them all.
They arrived earlier than the men and got to work quickly, finalizing everything to make sure they didn't miss out on anything. People were moving to and fro. The calm Davis Family was like a well-oiled cog, efficient and organized in their tasks.
Stella smiled proudly at Mingzhi, grateful for her leadership in keeping everything running smoothly. Feeling relieved, she went to other Sanctuaries to dismantle them and collect spatial seeds.
Before the time of departure approached, she had collected seeds and dismantled four sanctuaries.
The only sanctuaries that were left were the Void Dust Sanctuary in the First Haven World and the Second Void Dust Sanctuary, which they were currently in. The rest were all returned to spatial seeds. Hence, she now possessed seven spatial seeds, enough to create two sanctuaries the size of Minor Realms!
This meant that they could have two fortified homes in the Upper Realms.
When Stella returned to the Second Void Dust Sanctuary, she returned with two Realm Masters who also unbound the Realm Cores of the Whispering Wildlands Lower Realm and Verdant Vale Lower Realm.
Once they were done with everyone the next day at sunrise, Stella puffed up her cheeks, slapped them twice, and nodded at the ladies before her. They solemnly nodded, and she returned her stare towards the entrance of her mini-realm.
Taking a deep breath, she performed a hand seal and destabilized the spatial node that contained the sphere of space.
Inside, everyone felt the world shake, and when they turned to look, the giant Void Dust Tree was no longer there in their vision. It disappeared, giving them a scare!
"Don't panic~" However, a familiar voice calmed them down.
They knew this female voice, as it could be occasionally heard humming tones. They could listen to it if they looked toward the Void Dust Tree enough and focus, able to sense the tree spirit's goodwill. She had the capacity to care for the denizens of her realm.
Outside, Stella brought the tiny sphere out from the spatial node with much difficulty. Her body quivered as she slowly brought it to her.
She had initially hidden it in a dangerous space where there was a spatial cavity pulling in everything into some other space, so it was more difficult to extract than the mini-realm of the Fourth Void Dust Sanctuary. They had made sure to meticulously dismantle the concealment formation that hid the tribulation clouds of Divergents, thanks to Myria and Tia, before moving back here.
With another hand gesture, Stella clasped her hands and opened her palms, welcoming the tiny sphere that contained the entire world of the Second Void Dust Sanctuary in her palms. For good or worse, she could crush the entirety of the world from outside and kill all the denizens with a single move. But she carefully handled the tiny sphere and pushed it into her solar plexus.
The image of a giant Void Dust Tree appeared behind her.
She was not an avatar but the true body. She was the true Void Dust Tree.
Mingzhi and the others created and mist of darkness to shroud their movements. They watched Stella absorb the Second Void Dust Sanctuary in her body, slowly fusing with it as she became its spatial anchor.
The Temporal Voidplane Ring on her finger glowed with a silver-black spatial light, helping her hasten this process.
Soon, Stella finished absorbing the mini-realm and stabilized it inside her body. As long as she doesn't get stabbed or injured in her solar plexus, she didn't think the world inside her could be harmed. However, she could feel the weight of the world, making her feel like she was bloated after eating a lot.
The first time she did this, she had thought she had eaten the Void Dust Sanctuary, but after it remained there within her system, she knew the process of holding in the mini-realm within her true body was a success!
"Everyone, don't resist."
She quickly calmed herself and echoed into her world.
Drake, Fenren, Soaren, Andiron, Zenflame, Rocksunder, and many others retracted their energy and let go of themselves at this moment. Even if they didn't, it was pretty useless.
Abruptly, the entire world froze.
Lydia had barely looked up, feeling a creeping chill.
The magical beasts flying in the skies came to a stop, but they didn't fall. The waterfalls across the landscapes turned into crystalline ribbons of liquid silver as time stilled, every droplet hanging like a suspended jewel. Even the wind no longer dared to move, locked mid-breath.
Outside, only a ring remained, which fell into Mingzhi's hands as she pulled it over.
She slowly bound it and saw Stella smiling cheerfully within the frozen spacetime with her hand raised and thumbs up.
"…" Mingzhi nearly teared up.
She closed her eyes, knowing that those who would willingly seal themselves, not knowing when they would be released, could be counted on one hand even within their family. Their Stella was pure and wanted to believe everything would go their way.
Mingzhi wanted to reciprocate, able to tell that everything went their way.
She opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm.
"Let's move out."
Myria, Tia, Shirley, Isabella, Tanya, Lereza, Schleya, and Calypsea, the eight of them, along with Mingzhi, moved out. A silver-black spatial gate appeared, and they quickly made their way to the secret realm in the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm.
By the time they arrived, half of them, including Mingzhi, would have to enter the Temporal Voidplane Ring since all Empyreans had to be inside. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to enter the secret realm.
But at this moment, they were anticipating… an attack from Heaven's Warriors, from the Venerable Knights with tension filling their veins. With each spatial gate they stepped out from, they wondered if they would be met with an army of Heaven's Warriors, making the atmosphere around them quite solemn.
