Chapter 1848: It's never easy

Turen pondered in silence for a bit before continuing, "The angels are obviously in the Light Realm, and as you can imagine, they don't get along with the demons very well. You should have noticed that they suffer a lot more during your fight when hit with Light Element abilities. That's why the experts in the Realm of Gods have difficulty dealing with them since most demon beasts and humanoid races don't have that kind of affinity."

"Anyway, just like the Dark Realm is called the Underworld, the Light Realm is called Heaven. There, the Light Element is abundant and perfect for the angel races' cultivation. Unfortunately for them, the demons have control over the Temporal Passage, as I mentioned before. They can't come to the Realm of Gods as easily as the demons."

"As for the Temporal Passage, you could think of it as if it's some kind of stream. It makes a full circle between Heaven, the Underworld, the Realm of Gods, and the Mortal Realm. There's a passage in there that also connects to the Vruve Organization's location. I won't say there isn't another way of traversing between realms, but any other method is many times more difficult compared to it."

Roan couldn't help but mention after that. "We found out that one of the Foundation Fragments is in the Underworld. Is there a way to get there without warning the demons?"

Turen looked at Roan for a moment before telling him, "You still can share your Elemental Affinities, right? Most of the high-ranked demons have humanoid appearances. The two demons you saw here a moment ago just so happened to be two of them. If you share your Dark Element with Rean and display it as if you two only have Dark Element Affinity, it shouldn't be hard to pass off as demons."

"The problem is getting to the Underworld. As I said, the easiest way is to take the Temporal Passage. However, I'm not entirely sure that no one will notice your real identity, especially if the guards of the path ask you to take on your demonized form."

"Demonized form?" Rean and Roan were confused.

Turen then explained, "Fratekla and Rlakux, the two demons you were fighting, were in their demonized forms. You saw it, right? Red eyes, horns, that kind of thing. Usually, they wouldn't look much different from normal humanoid race people. It's just that neither of you have a demonized form. Your body structures are also a little different than demons."

"Demonized forms..." Roan thought about that issue before asking Rean, "Your Light Element was always able to change the body structure, right. Father said that demons have a slightly different body structure. Can we use your Light Element to achieve an internal structure similar to demons?"

Rean nodded, replying, "As long as it isn't anything ridiculous, it shouldn't be that hard. It's just that we still don't have a demonized form."

"We can use your Light bending skill for that," Roan answered. Rean had used his Light bending skill before to change the light around their bodies to hide or pretend to have some features they didn't have.

Rean didn't mind. "Well, we can give it a shot. I just need to take a very good look at a demon's body. An unconscious demon would be the best choice as they wouldn't be able to stop my Divine Sense and Soul Power Scan."

Turen laughed in response. "Hahaha! That's the easy part. Don't we have two perfect demons here? I'll just knock the two of them out, and you can take a good look at their bodies. If you can really do that, then using the Temporal Passage is the best choice. However, you'll have to gain your passage to the Underworld by yourselves."

"And how do we do that?" The twins asked.

Turen obviously answered their question. "Well, first, you'll have to head to the northeast side of the center of the Realm of Gods. That's the area being controlled by the demons and also the area where you can find the entrance to the Temporal Passage. Once there, you'll need to join some of the powers and use them to gain a visit to the Underworld. It doesn't need to be a big power. Any middle-sized organization among the demons there should be able to grant you passage."

"What are the risks?" Roan asked again.

Turen shook his head, saying, "If you wanted to go to the Light Realm, that would be risky. However, heading to the Underworld is a lot easier. That's because most demons want to come to the Realm of Gods, not the other way around. You know the reason, right?"

The twins immediately nodded. "They want to absorb living souls to help out with their cultivation. From the looks of it, dead souls that traverse to the Underworld after their bodies die can't be used for it or aren't as effective."

"Exactly," Turen agreed with the twins' words. "To be more specific, souls that traverse to the Underworld after their bodies die head straight into the reincarnation path. They can't be taken for cultivation as it would also affect the natural cycle. The demons know better than to try and mess with it. They have to take the souls before they go to the Underworld."

It was then that Rean noticed one thing. "Wait, dad, your Temporal Gap is inside the Temporal Path, right? Can't we take a shortcut by going there and then into the Temporal Path?"

Roan snorted in response. "Hmph! Can't you think a little more? The Underworld, Heaven, and the Realm of Gods want to get their hands on father's fragment. Do you think they won't be watching the entrance of his gap?"

Turen bitterly smiled in response. "Unfortunately, Roan is right. As I said, I took quite a big risk to prepare this trap against the demons. I doubt it would work again once I return to the Temporal Gap. It would be many times safer if you went to the demons' side in the Realm of Gods."

Rean could only sigh in response after that. "I see... it's never easy..."
