Although so many things were happening, only a few minutes went by. Still, the closing walls finally disappeared in the distance with their increase in speed. Krune kept guiding everyone at the Semi-Divinity Realm and below while Jimage and the other two followed closely.
As time passed, their group's tension reduced little by little. After all, it was evident that Krune could really detect the Spatial Tears. Jimage didn't know how he was doing it with his Divine Sense level, but the important thing was that it was working.
As for Foltan and Pharan's group, they were following right behind. However, their Semi-Divinity Realm members did not have a good time. The only advantage was that they were close enough to receive timely help. It wasn't perfect, and injuries by getting too close to Spatial Tears were happening, but those two could at least prevent more deaths.
At some point, the trembling of the space began to decrease. They weren't sure if this was because they had gone far away from the closing walls or if everything was stabilizing again, though. Of course, they wouldn't go back to check if the walls there were really slowing down or not.
Finally, the place stopped trembling completely. Space stabilized once more as the Spatial Tears recurrence slowed down. Everyone stopped moving forward and looked around, paying attention to see if anything was out of order.
"In the end, it was useless to leave Kalen outside. The formation is now gone, destroyed under the cave all the way back. There is no way we can go back now."
"No helping it, there was no time to turn and teleport back. The walls would have smashed us first. By the way, the walls were not collapsing but closing instead. It was so weird."
Everyone nodded. They also noticed this.
"Not only that, but I can still feel this oppressive aura coming from everywhere. Even after running so far, it is still present."
Jimage pondered a bit before saying.
"Anyway, we need to keep going. We only have six and a half days to find another exit and escape the Godly Vein Sealed Space. Otherwise, it will be too unstable for us to survive inside."
Krune and the others nodded, quickly departing after that. Pharan and Foltan's groups were in worse shape, but they didn't stay put. They knew that they only had so much time to find an exit as well. As for attacking the other groups, they immediately put those thoughts behind their heads.
The three groups were not moving as fast as before, but they still had quite a fast pace. Now and then, they would find several different passages for them to select. However, they always chose the same ones. It's not that they wanted to stay together, but that they could feel the flux of Godly Energy in those passages. They were simply following the entrances where the flux was higher.
The passages began to get bigger as time passed. Not only that, but the cave itself seemed to change too. At some point, the ground below became moisty. They continued forward, and they felt like they were entering a shallow underground river. It's just that the liquid under them wasn't water, but kind of silver.
At first, they were afraid that this liquid could cause damage to their bodies. But after testing it out, it was evident that it wasn't the case. If anything, the liquid seemed to be full of Godly Energy. However, they couldn't store it.
It was then that Krune noticed something strange.
"Don't you think that this liquid or silver water has quite a familiar feeling?"
All the groups stopped and looked at Krune.
"What do you mean?"
Krune continued.
"I believe you guys noticed the space laws inside it other than the Godly Energy, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"That's what I'm talking about. Don't you think that this silver water gives you the feeling of the Space Creatures?"
Jimage, Pharan, Foltan, and everyone else were shocked by what they heard. They immediately sent their Divine Senses into the silver water after that. Sure enough, Krune was right. It really gave the same feeling as the Space Creatures.
Their heart skipped a bit when they noticed such a thing. Doesn't that mean that they are inside the place where the Space Creatures are born? So far, no one knows where the Creatures came from. The sects investigated the other Sealed Spaces, but they couldn't find any clues even after entering several of them.
All the islands where they god the Top Quality Godly Stones had no clues about it either. The sects thought that perhaps it was a mutation in those Top Quality Godly Veins that caused the creatures' appearance. After all, the Godly Veins stayed hidden long enough to create their own Sealed Spaces. It wouldn't be weird if the Creatures also appeared because of them.
"What do we do? If they are born here, we might be moving into an army of them any time soon."
"But it's not like we have another choice. The passage back then was closed; we can't go back now."
Illia then thought about another possibility.
"This might not be bad news."
Obviously, everyone looked at her.
"What do you mean?"
Illia smiled and explained.
"Don't you see it? All the Sealed Spaces have Space Creatures. That means that this Dimensional Realm is connected to the other Godly Vein Sealed Spaces too. Most likely, other teleport formations can bring us outside as well."
Rui couldn't help but intervene.
"That is still a problem. After all, the other Godly Vein Sealed Spaces are not open yet. If we teleport to them, we will be crushed by the chaotic space inside. In fact, it is bad news. We have no idea where the next teleport formations would take us. We have assumed that they would bring us outside, but what if we were sent to the other sealed spaces? We would just die instead."
Xanala shook her head.
"We still don't know if the silver water is really the thing the gives birth to the Space Creatures. So far, we haven't seen a single one, right? Maybe it is just a coincidence since this Dimensional Realm exists inside the Godly Vein Sealed Space. Maybe it means that this silver water changed because of it."
Foltan shook his head.
"I believe that there is a good chance that they are really born here. The reason we haven't seen anyone yet is most likely because there isn't enough silver water and Godly Energy in this place. Of course, we will need to go forward to confirm it."
"Who knows? Perhaps there is a treasure ahead that is creating this silver water and the creatures too."
Everyone then began to talk about this issue. Whether there were treasures or not, the majority was more concerned about how to go back. But it was then that Krune had an idea.
"I think we don't need to worry. All we need to do is use the same teleport formation we came to go back."
No one understood what Krune meant. They all saw how the cave closed in it. The formation was most likely destroyed now, so how could they use the same one?
Krune understood what they were thinking and quickly explained his theory.
"Don't you think it is weird? How long has this place existed? I always had a strange feeling regarding this aura that we have been feeling. It's always present doesn't matter where we go. It even clearer if we touch the walls. Besides, I believe everyone already noticed that the cave walls are not exactly rocks or anything like that, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"If I'm not wrong, it wasn't the first time the cave walls closed like that. Most likely, it happens quite frequently in this place in all the passages. Simply put, it happens every time these 'walls' detect some foreign existence. However, even to this day, the teleport formation was still there."
Jimage understood what Krune meant.
"You are saying that the teleport formation was made in a way that it can resist that phenomenon. As long as we go back, it will be there again. Is it?"
Krune nodded.
"Yes. Not only that, but I believe that the walls there will reopen eventually."
All the groups looked at Krune with some suspicion in their eyes.
"How can you be sure?"
Krune smiled and approached the wall on the side. He touched it and could feel that oppressive aura even more clearly. After that, he turned back to everyone else and said.
"That's because I don't believe this is a conjunct of caves. Nor is it any kind of old Dimensional Realm either. The silver water on the ground that has a similar feeling to the space creatures made me realize something."
Krune looked at the silver water. Although they called this liquid like this, it was a lot denser than real water. He then looked around as he spread his Mental Energy inside the walls. If he got close enough, his Mental Energy was able to see several other passages behind them. It looked like everywhere around their groups was made of more and more passages.
However, they all had the same pattern. From what krune had seen so far, they all led to the same place ahead. The only difference was that some had more flux of Godly Energy, while others not so much. Nonetheless, Krune believed that the Godly Energy of all passages had the same origin.
Krune then took a deep breath and told them what he was thinking.
"I believe we are not inside a mountain or underground. We are inside someone's body."
