Chapter 4032: Out of the Rails
Eleven thousand years and something since the twins’ group hid to cultivate...
By now, they have already reached the Peak Stage of the Divinity Realm. However, they didn’t stop as they had just gotten there. To attempt a Celestial Realm Breakthrough, they had to accumulate more energy until they reached the limit of the Divinity Realm. So, they wouldn’t be moving out just yet.

Back in the Werdlem Universe, this time somewhere else, there was a massive black hole larger than the combined lengths of thousands of galaxies.
This was one of the famous Great Void Black Holes, located right in the center of the Werdlem Universe. The weird thing about it was that if you looked from outside, it definitely didn’t look as big as just mentioned. If anything, you wouldn’t say it had more than a few tens of thousands of kilometers.
But that was just an illusion. All laws around this thing were completely messed up, including space and time. If you tried to approach it at full speed, you would really take many years, and that was assuming you could warp space. If you tried to fly in normally, you’d better be ready to spend billions of years flying nonstop, just to cover that ’visually’ short distance.
No one would genuinely try to fly in, though. This was a kind of Black Hole no one would be able to escape, including the Celestial Realm Experts.
Of course, even if you wouldn’t fly into the black hole, there were plenty of Divinity Realm Peak Stage experts trying to get close to this spatially and timely messed region of the Black Hole. Let’s not forget that it is this exact location where the barrier separating the Celestial Plane from their world was thinnest.
The space and time were chaotic to a degree that breaches between the planes appeared from time to time. It was through those breaches that you made a connection with the Celestial Laws of the Celestial Plane. (Chapters 3682-3683-3684 for Celestial Realm Breakthrough explanation.)
Now, going back to the Black Hole itself, no one would be idiot enough to truly fly into something like that... or so everyone believed.
Right at this moment, this so-called idiot was making his way into there. He was shrouded in a cloak of Divine Origin Energy, so it was impossible to see his appearance. Space warped countless kilometers every second around that man as he really approached the Great Void Black Hole itself. Naturally, gravity increased, and soon even the man found it hard to resist the spaghetification effect.
He wasn’t worried, though. He continued moving forward, every step capable of crossing tens of millions of light-years. But then, as he was about to reach his limit, the gravity pull disappeared!
The man smiled, speaking with a playful tone. "Why master has to always test us like this? Shouldn’t you treat your cute disciples with a little bit more warmth?" He didn’t stop, getting closer and closer to that black hole.
As he did, he also got an answer. Obviously, someone heard his voice right there in the middle of the void. ’I can warm your ass with my foot if that’s what you want. Also, if you can’t even do that much, you might as well just give up calling me master. Now, come in.’
Suddenly, the space around the man warped, and he disappeared. Everything blurred around him, and when he was capable of seeing things clearly again, he was right in front of the Great Void Blackhole. He could even touch it if he wanted.
Yet, an opening appeared, a tunnel. Still no gravity, no nothing. Just the void and a pitch black path.
The man entered the Great Void Black Hole, and the entrance disappeared behind him. No one knew he was there other than his master.
Finally, at the center of that black hole, there was a huge space. In that space, there was a sphere of runes at the center: ancient, powerful, each one capable of making Celestial Realm Experts kneel in their presence. There were thousands of them, and the power of that Great Void Blackhole was feeding them, keeping them whole.
As for what was inside, there was a man... or was it really a man? It had a humanoid form, sure. Still, the proportions were subtly off: shoulders a fraction too narrow, limbs slightly too long, a weird form but still humanoid overall.
Looking at his face, it was actually quite unremarkable... if you ignored the eyes. The pupils reflected nothing, not even light, as dark as the blackhole itself.
But the bizarre thing was that expressions lagged behind emotion, as if his face ’updated’ late. Truly a hard-to-understand existence...
The man who came from outside approached, stopping in front of the sphere of runes, and the cloak of Divine Energy disappeared. If the twins were here, they definitely would recognize this man... and curse him to no end. He was none other than Hex! (The one who brought the twins to the Werdlem Empire.)
His master took a look at him, snorting. "Hmph! What kind of idiotic body is that, Hick? Couldn’t you have made something better? What would the others say if they saw that you, Default’s disciple, had such an appearance?"
Yes, that was Default, a Now...
And, of course, Hick was Hex’s real name. "Come on, master. You know I didn’t have much of a choice on the matter. How do you think I managed to bring Hyeoumu and Soul Gem outside? I had to sacrifice my body back then. Besides, this humanoid body is quite convenient. Look! I’m already back to the Divinity Realm Peak Stage!"
"Fine, you succeeded in the end, so I won’t complain about it for now. Just make sure you recover your power properly," Default said. "So, how are the preparations going?"
Hick looked around. "Is it safe to talk here?"
"Don’t worry," Default assured. "I might have no way of escaping on my own or affecting the outside world, but I can definitely keep things inside this Black Hole safe. Besides, I still have some friends out there."
Hick was relieved. "Alright. Soul Gem got the two hosts to come to the Werdlem Empire. Also, he and Hyeoumu are already preparing the bubble-bursting channel. The Werdlem Treasures back in Lisan should provide the right amount of energy."
The master nodded. "Good. Don’t forget that you will need the help of your siblings in here, too." But then, Default stopped for a moment, noticing something. "Wait, did you say two hosts?"
"Ahem..." Hick scratched the back of his head. "Well, things went a little out of the rails."
