Was it because they didn’t know it, or such things didn’t happen in Stelladom?
“Are you sure it was a hundred years ago when Gina came to the Dusk Soul Forest?” Himmel Soan asked.
That was a very important question and the key to solving the mystery of Gina’s disappearance because it involved time and space.
Gina was last seen on Stelladom eight hundred years ago. However, she only came to the Dusk Soul Forest a hundred years ago. Time must have somehow been distorted midway.
Of course, he could only reach his conclusion after hearing what Yagon had to say.
“Yes, it was a hundred years ago. I can still remember it like yesterday.
“A very powerful presence entered the Dusk Soul Forest that year. All the beast kings went to see what happened and found Gina.
“She just stood there and let us come to her. After defeating all of us, she became our boss. However, the situation changed after she disappeared forty years ago.
“Some beasts still remain friends, but some old grudges have been renewed. I thought that would be the end, but you came here.” Yagon sighed.
He missed the time when Gina was around. There were no internal strifes back then because everybody obeyed Gina. The forest was harmonious.
But those days were gone now.
“A hundred years ago? Did you notice her as soon as she entered the forest?” Himmel Soan felt the information wasn’t thorough enough. He needed more details.
Did Gina really come to the Dusk Soul Forest a hundred years ago?
If so, where was she for seven hundred years?
Moreover, she disappeared from Earth five hundred years ago.
The only explanation was the time here flowed at a different speed than on Earth. The time and space were distorted between the forest and Stelladom too. That was why there were discrepancies in the timelines.
“Yes, all beast kings have to notify the others when they detect abnormal activities in their territories, especially something like that. Even if the event wasn’t reported, we still could sense it.
“I’m certain it was a hundred years ago.”
Himmel Soan was at a loss. Things got complicated once more. He had no idea what had happened, and the trail went cold. He didn’t know when or where Gina had disappeared.
How frustrating!
“If I go through the Dusk Soul Forest and exit on the other side, where will I end up?” Himmel Soan asked.
Maybe he could find answers there.
Yagon grew anxious when Himmel Soan brought up that subject. His stomach lurched.
“Sir, don’t you know what place that is?” Yagon asked.
Himmel Soan only looked at him without saying a word. It was obvious what he meant. If he knew the answer, he wouldn’t be asking Yagon.
Yagon realized it, too.
“Stelladom is only part of this planet. There used to be a trade route through the forest.
“Gradually, people began to dislike Stelladom, finding it too remote and poor.
“Some selfish people thought that because Stelladom was so poor, the people there didn’t deserve to live, for they would be wasting the spiritual essence.
“One day, ten of the most capable cultivators joined hands, banished most people to Stelladom, and sealed it.
“That way, other parts of the planet could enjoy the spiritual essence of Stelladom, and everybody else could have double the amount of spiritual essence that they used to have.
“Gradually, they forgot about Stelladom and called it the broken continent.
“The Freezing Land, Eternity Desert, Endless Sea, Thunder Region, and Dusk Soul Forest are the five places that seal Stelladom off,” Yagon explained.
He didn’t personally see it happen. Those things took place a long time ago, and he only heard it from the older generations, who were maybe the only people who remembered the original Stelladom.
To everybody else, it was only a story. Even if the people outside knew Stelladom and its residents, it wouldn’t make any difference. They would only see those residents as raw materials for their spiritual essence. They couldn’t care less about them!
Yagon didn’t care, either. He only wanted him and Phoe to live a happy life.
It was the law of the jungle; the weak would be eliminated. That was why those people of Stelladom couldn’t do anything about it.
“I see. Tell me more about the other side. What’s it like?”
Once Himmel Soan was told there was another continent, of course, he would visit it. He wouldn’t go there unprepared though. One should know their enemy as well as themselves.
Himmel Soan understood the principle and had been following it for millions of years. It had never failed him. He would run a thorough investigation before doing important things such as this one. He needed to know the other side first.
Yagon hesitated but answered the question in the end, “This planet is called Blue. I don’t know if there are other planets out there because no one has managed to leave this one yet.
“They do seem to exist.”
He then looked at Himmel Soan, obviously suggesting that Himmel Soan had come from a different planet.
Himmel Soan knew the answer to that question better than Yagon.
“Apart from Stelladom, there are three other continents: Starloud, Starain, and Starlune. That’s all I know. After all, I only live in this forest. We never venture outside, so we can’t gather much information.”
Yagon shook his head. He had shared everything he knew about the world outside.
Himmel Soan nodded in satisfaction. That was a great help. At least he wasn’t completely at a loss.
“What about heresy cultivators?”
He heard a voice outside before he could ask any more questions.
“Yagon! Come out! I’m challenging you!”
