Fortunately, the creature stopped right before it left the light pillar. Seeing how they couldn't catch the twins anymore and kept receiving attacks from the cultivators, they immediately turned around and retreated. Otherwise, they would definitely be destroyed.

"Phew... that was close." Rean couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Of course, it was far from over. Everyone immediately gathered around the twins to hear what they had to say.

"How did you get into the light pillar?"

"What were those creatures?"

"Was it you guys who summoned it?"

"Do you have anything to do with what's happening right now?"

Rean wasn't surprised by all that, though. He quickly raised his hand, signaling for everyone to stop talking. "Alright, let's keep it down, guys. I'll answer all those questions, so let me speak."

"First, about how we entered the light pillar. We weren't expecting that we would be able to do it in the first place. Only after we noticed that the light pillar's energy had no use against us did we understand why. It's the purity of our elements. If you can surround yourselves with elements as pure as ours, you should be able to do the same." Rean wasn't lying. He tried to do the same thing as Roan, and it turned out that it worked.

"How pure are your Elements, then?" Someone obviously asked.

Rean pondered over it for a bit before gathering a sphere of Light Element in his hand, responding, "Well, you can touch it and compare it to your own elements. See if you can make it as pure I do."

Quite a few experts stepped forward to check the element. They obviously knew what elemental purity meant since everyone had their own Elemental Affinities. It's just that it was the first time they saw someone with Light Element Affinity, so some were curious about it as well.

After a few minutes, everyone moved away from Rean with disappointed expressions. The purity of every cultivator or demon beasts' element varied. Some were purer, others not that much. However, no one was able to get close to Rean or Roan's elemental purity. As an excuse, Rean told everyone that they came from the Sacred Undersea Kingdom, just like before. Naturally, their techniques were much better.

Vaz, Clinbay, and even Liman confirmed Rean's story. They had already received information that the twins really came from the Sacred Undersea Kingdom... although that was all a lie...

"Alright, you guys have very high elemental purity. That's fine. However, how can it help us?" Liman asked.

The sphere of Light Element around Rean's hand then expanded, quickly covering an area of a few dozen meters around him. Naturally, Rean would be able to do much more than that. Unfortunately, he had lost his cultivation, so this was already close to his limit. "I can let everyone stay close to me, and so can my brother. We can enter together to see what's happening there."

"What about those creatures?" Sure enough, everyone was concerned about that as well.

Roan answered that, saying, "We don't know about them. However, the light pillar's energy only covers the outskirts of the Light Seekers' headquarters. The light pillar doesn't affect anyone inside. With that said, we can bring you there, but we'll have to deal with the creatures there. By the way, when we looked inside, we quickly found that the place was completely filled with white powder, the same powder that transformed everyone into statues. The creatures just so happen to be made of the same material as well."

Some had their doubts regarding the twins' words. Unfortunately, it wasn't like they had much time to inquire further. Every minute caused the Upside Down World's state to become worse.

Clinbay then gritted his teeth and said, "Enough. The twins can bring us inside, so we have to go. It's pretty obvious that the longer we wait, the worse it will get. We need to stop whatever's causing this calamity."

Everyone looked at each other. Even though a lot didn't want to do it, they knew Clinbay was right. Besides, who knows? There might be some reward for them in the end. Stay out and wait for the world to be destroyed, dying in the process. Or... enter and try to stop it, although it was definitely dangerous. In any case, the choice was obvious.

"Let's go!"

"Everyone, get prepared."

"We should depart straight away."

As everyone talked, more cultivators and demon beasts arrived at the scene. Not too long after, someone that the twins knew very well appeared. "Rean, Roan, so you're here as well."

Seeing the sphere of chilling energy, the twins immediately identified him. "Oh, Havek! To think you came as well."

Havek and quite a few of his sect's elders came after receiving the news. "How could we not come? Look at this shit! We're all going to die if we don't do anything."

Clinbay, who was near the twins, noticed Havek as well. "You're that spirit who became a sect leader, right? Do you guys know each other?"

Rean nodded, saying, "We were all taken away by the Salt Canyon phenomenon. We know each other from the other side."

"I see..." Clinbay had more questions, but he decided to leave it for now.

Instead, he looked at the other cultivators and demon beasts. "Lutik, Prom, Rikarf, Wallib, Cesar, you guys are the leaders of the other top powers here in our Upside Down World. Let's join forces with my purging organization. We need to keep the twins protected at all costs in case we need to retreat. At the same time, we need to investigate and fight the creatures inside. Do you guys have any complaints with this idea?"

Although those guys didn't like how Clinbay acted like they led them, they didn't raise their voices. For now, they were more interested in what was happening inside. "We have no complaints. We will all designate some of our elders to help protect the twins on the back."

Clinbay nodded in response. "I'll do the same."

With that, everyone prepared the best way they could before they looked at the twins and said, "Let's go."
