Chapter 2232 Into the Central Area
It goes without saying that Jeskli was surprised to hear Kentucky's words. After all, no one had ever been able to stay in the center. Once they got inside, they wouldn't be able to tell which direction they were going anymore and would end up outside somewhere else, never being able to reach the real central area.
In a certain way, this was also confirmation that the Floating Islands of Time were affected by a fragment since it was a similar event to the Swamp of no Return. The only difference was that you could never escape from the swamp, but you definitely can in the Floating Islands of Time.
Jeskli didn't want to call much attention, so that's why he only stayed with Kentucky's group for a moment. Now, however, he had to go since he wanted to see what was happening in the central area. Of course, assuming Rean was right about being able to enter without ending outside.
It only took a few minutes for Jeskli to arrive, and he didn't even use his full speed. "Alright, I'm here. Let's be fast with it since I don't want to stay close to you guys for too long."
Everyone then looked at Rean, who was responsible for that method. "Alright, alright. Let's enter." He quickly took flight, becoming the leader of the group. At the same time, he called all the communication badges of his group. "Keep yourselves within sight of each other, no more than a few meters apart. With more badges, it will be easier to triangulate our position inside."
Although Jeskli and Lily didn't know what Triangulate meant, they still followed Rean's orders and flew side by side with Kentucky. Rean then just jumped on Kentucky's back and joined Roan and Luan there as they moved forward.
"Father, the space power and time too. They are truly getting very weird. From here onward, even I won't be able to tell what is right from left with my eyes," Luan quickly warned them.
Jeskli looked at Luan and nodded. "This is where the central area starts, after all. Even I can't tell anything with my Divinity Realm cultivation. Space and Time Powers simply make no sense here."
Rean didn't care about it. He just used his and everyone's badges to keep triangulating their position as Kentucky flew forward. He didn't even open his eyes, using his Divine Sense to focus on the information on his communication badge.
Suddenly, Rean called Kentucky's attention. "Stop. Why are you going back, Kentucky?"
"Back?" Kentucky was puzzled. "I've been flying in a straight line until now."
Rean shook his head. "No, you have just made an almost full turn back. If you continue forward, we will end very near the place we just left before entering the central area."
Jeskli couldn't help but get excited. "Truly?! Can you really tell that with these things?"
Rean nodded. "I can. Now I understand why no one can find their way to the center. It is truly similar to the Swamp of No Return."
Jeskli didn't know what he was talking about. "What swamp?" There were obviously countless swamps in the Realm of Gods, so Jeskli simply thought Rean was talking about one of them. He definitely wouldn't expect them to be talking about a swamp in the Underworld.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just we have seen a similar effect before. The difference was that Luan could at least use his Sacred Eyes to find the right paths. In this place, however, that is not possible," Rean explained.
Jeskli could only nod and get even closer to Kentucky, afraid he would end out of the central area again.
Kentucky then made a turn back and once again moved in the central area's direction.
"Stop, now you are going to the right side. Turn 100 degrees left and keep flying forward," Rean instructed again.
Kentucky nodded and felt something weird. He truly couldn't tell at all when his direction was moved. Minokawas have very high Spatial Sensitivity, but he noticed nothing. All he could feel was how messy the Spatial Laws in this place were.
"Stop..."
"Stop..."
"Left is wrong..."
"Okay, just move slightly to the right side and continue..."
"Can you see those bigger Islands? Pas through the two on the right..."
They didn't fly too fast since the chances would only increase in number. "Don't worry. We are definitely going in the right direction," said Rean.
Jeskli knew the Floating Islands of Time from top to bottom if you exclude the central area, so he nodded. "Yes. I've never seen any of these Islands before. At the very least, we are still inside the central area."
The continued flying while following Rean's words for a few more hours when suddenly, Luan warned everyone. "Careful!"
Jeskli was the very first one to move. His Spatial Power burst forward, creating a bubble that enveloped the entire group.
*Bang!*
Spatial Power collided with Spatial Power, creating a spatial rift right in front of them.
"Hmph!" Jeskli's Spatial Laws quickly surrounded that Spatial Rift, immediately closing it right after. Just like that, the Spatial Rift was gone. "Nice eyes you have there."
Luan sighed in relief. "Thanks. Space here has finally got so messed up that it began to break apart. However, it is not possible to see with your normal eyes." Luan's eyes moved to the left as he pointed out. "Another one just passed by us now. Seems like things are going to get dangerous from here onwards."
'That's the Universe Foundation Fragment with the highest Spatial Powers from them all for you,' Rean thought for a moment.
Jeskli's Spatial Bubble then reduced in size and thickness. However, it didn't disappear. "Rean, just keep going. As long as I'm here, you don't need to worry about those invisible moving spatial rifts."
Well, the Spatial Rift just before was dangerous, but Rean, Roan, and Kentucky could still have dealt with it on their own. Nonetheless, they wouldn't refuse Jeskli's help and much higher cultivation. "Alright."
