Chapter 2209 It's My Baby
Spatial Gates had a lot to do with time as well, which is the reason why only at the Space-Time Realm would cultivators be able to open them. A good example was the formation that transferred the twins from the Mortal Realm to the Realm of Gods. Back then, time had warped, causing them to arrive in the Realm of Gods many years in the future. Let's not forget that Rana, the twins' sister who reincarnated as the fairy queen, was already much older than them when they found her for the first time. She was only two years old when the Sunkan Planet exploded.
When opening a Spatial Gate, one didn't just cut the fabric of space but also time. That's why the effectiveness of how far and how fast a Spatial Gate can bring someone heavily depends on their cultivation. The higher their realm after entering the Space-Time Realm, the further and faster they can travel through it since their control over Space and Time is a lot better. Of course, regardless of the level, any spatial gate could bring its user at ridiculously long distances.
A Peak Stage Divinity Realm cultivator could go from the border of the Realm of Gods to its center in a matter of a few days. Someone who just entered the Space-Time Realm would take a few weeks through the same process. Nonetheless, using a few weeks to travel such a distance was definitely impressive enough.
One must not misunderstand things, though. Time Power indeed allowed one to accelerate and slow time. However, it definitely couldn't bring one back to the past. The past can never be changed since time is a constant flow and only goes in one direction.
Back at the twins' location, Roan had just wondered if he could open a Spatial Gate now that he could control time. "How is it, Sister Orb?"
[Hum... it should be possible, no? However, your control over time power is many times worse than any average Space-Time Realm expert. If we are as far as I imagine we are from the Center of the Realm of Gods, then it might take a few years to arrive there, even if you open one.]
The Twins' Time Power truly wasn't even a tenth as good as an Initial Stage Space-Time Realm expert at all. "So you are saying it would be better to continue to cultivate?" Roan asked her back.
Sister Orb then explained her thoughts. [It all depends on how far away we are from the center of the Realm of Gods. You have used Spatial Gates from those at the Divinity Realm and those at the Space-Time Realm, right? I'm sure you can tell the difference in speed and distance they can achieve. With your ability to control Time Power, it truly might be faster to simply keep the accelerated time ON and reach the Peak Stage of the Elemental Space Realm or even the Space-Time Realm before going out.]
The twins obviously understood it. "So that's how it is..."
Suddenly, Kentucky felt a chill on his back. He quickly looked around, just to see Rean's eyes shinning as he looked at him. "W-What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Rean completely ignored Kentucky and told everyone his plan. "Why not do both at the same time? Roan or I will go out and open Spatial Gates to move in the direction of the Center of the Realm of Gods. Meanwhile, Kentucky will take our place in the cultivation effort. The four of us have a shared cultivation, after all. Kentucky can definitely make up for the absence of Roan or me."
Roan had to admit that was a good idea. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but you are correct."
"I'm always correct," said Rean, not caring about Roan's remarks at all.
Celis, obviously, had no objections whatsoever. "As long as we can keep our cultivation speed, I couldn't care less. Anyway, we are finally in the Late Stage of the Elemental Space Realm, so I'm going back to stabilize my cultivation." He left straight after saying that.
Roan then caught on the side of his eyes a giant black and white bird slowly making his way out. 'Hmph!'
'Death Style, Shadow Bind!'
*Zla, zla, zla, zla...*
The Dark Element ropes quickly caught Kentucky, who wasn't expecting Roan to act that fast. "Nooooo! I don't want to spend the next hundreds of years cultivating! It's too boring!"
Roan completely ignored Kentucky's plight and turned his attention to Rean. "You and I have basically the same control over time power at the moment. However, I'm better at keeping my focus on straightforward cultivation, only losing to Celis in this regard. It is better if you spend your time trying to master the use of Spatial Gates and traveling outside."
Rean nodded, knowing that no one was crazier at diligence than him. "Very well. However, not now. We have just broken through, so we need to stabilize our cultivation. I'll reach better results if I wait for it first."
Roan then pulled the screaming Kentucky with him while leaving and saying, "Nothing better than keep one's mind occupied with something else during that time. Now that I think about it, this idiot bird hasn't trained in combat for a while, so I'm going to make it company. You can go and do whatever you want while that."
Kentucky was already shedding tears of despair. *Nooooooo...!!!*
Rean laughed a little and immediately turned his attention back to the Blacksmith Workshop. He had practiced a lot with other materials ever since he decided to upgrade the White and Black Stars. Now that he was at the Late Stage of the Elemental Space Realm and could use his Sky Energy, he was confident he would be successful. "Sorry for making you wait, my little White Star. Dad Rean will fix you up straight away."
[You do know you look quite creepy when you talk like that, right?] Sister Orb, who was still there, couldn't help but ask.
"Shut up! It's my baby." Rean didn't care at all and left straight away.
