Village Head's Debauchery-Chapter 1268 The Mysteries Of The Spirit Realm

The throne dissolved into invisible threads that coiled around Orion. Ilse walked beside Orion, her mind deep in thought as she processed everything he had just told her. She realized that if not for the new Mysteries, she might have faced the same fate as her counterpart in a battle against the Will of the Divine Mysteries. Even with the power within Paradise, it was hard to believe there were still enemies they had to be cautious of.

Ilse's expression shifted into displeasure as she realized that she no longer had the luxury of sitting back and slowly developing her strength.

Orion soared ahead, stopping in front of a barely noticeable thin red line that seemed like a thread stretched from the earth to the sky.

As Orion moved to the side, he stared in curiosity at the thin red line that expanded into a vast red gate portal that reached far across the world as though it divided the land itself. He returned to his original position in front of the thin red line. He closed his eyes, moved to the side, and opened them again. Unlike before, the vast red portal dividing the world was no longer visible, replaced by the faint red line as it had been.

"This is one of the characteristics of the Spiritual Link Point," Ilse's voice sounded as she emerged through the red portal and appeared before him. "It prevents anyone from accidentally entering. Only those with the intent to go through it and explore within can pass. Even then, they feel a repulsion, as if being warned that the world they are entering is not meant for them. Its effects are so powerful that even divine beings feel a sense of doubt about the creation of the Spirit Realms and what might have made them."

Orion nodded, already familiar with some details of the Spiritual Link Point and the Spirit Realm from Patriarch Rylan and Isadora. But Ilse's following words made him raise an eyebrow.

"Are you suggesting that the Spirit Realm wasn't created at the dawn of existence but rather by someone else?" Orion asked, curious.

Ilse nodded. "Isn't it strange that whenever a new universe is born or a new realm emerges, a Spiritual Link Point automatically connects to it? We didn't notice such phenomena until after we descended into the material world.," she replied, "Mortals can enter it. But, due to the powerful energies and elements within, they can't remain there for long. The immortal bodies of Spirit Beasts are one reason they can survive there unharmed."

"For divine beings, our connection to the Divine Mysteries is severed, so if we're trapped, we can only rely on ourselves to rise through the ranks. I'm not certain, but I suspect the Spirit Realm was created by a mysterious entity, and my guess points to the Omnithrillians."

Orion frowned, his mind racing as he pieced together Ilse's words. "If they created the Spirit Realm, wouldn't it have been safer to place us there, making sure we are in control, unlike the realm they left for us?" he responded, still frowning.

"Yes, you're right. Considering that the Spirit Realm has anchored itself into various realms and universes, its vastness must be greater than anything we can imagine," Ilse responded, her tone solemn.

"It would have made sense for them to place humans in a small corner of it and give you authority over that space, but they didn't. Your race wouldn't be in the dilemma it's currently facing, as it would've been impossible for us to dwell there."

"This leads me to think that there are larger forces at play—perhaps the Spirit Realm wasn't created for humans, but rather as a resting place for the Omnithriallians."

The moment Ilse finished speaking, Orion froze. He recalled a detail he had overlooked until now. The number of Omnithriallians who chose not to participate in the war but instead build homes for themselves was too great to count. Such a vast number of immensely powerful beings would surely leave traces upon their deaths, especially given that their 'imperishable corpses' could withstand the ravages of time and the harshest elements of the cosmos. Yet, only two of these imperishable corpses had been found by Oberon by accident. It was unknown how many Naka had in his possession, as he seemed capable of tracking them down. But that wasn't the main concern at the moment. The real question was: where were the rest of the Omnithriallians' bodies?

Could the Spirit Realm be genuinely created as a resting place where their corpses wouldn't be desecrated? Or perhaps some of the Omnithriallians were still alive and residing within the Spirit Realm. After all, if divine beings could live indefinitely, and ancient gods could reincarnate endlessly, then indeed, the second-strongest race in existence could still be alive today.

But if they were alive, it raised another question: were the Omnithriallian corpses found on Earth left behind to watch over humanity, given their protective stance against divine beings and other races?

Or does this somehow relate to the disappearance of the true gods?

Orion gulped. The more he thought about it, the more questions flooded his mind. If the Omnithriallians were still alive, he would be both excited and terrified, unsure if he could resist the influence of such a powerful being. But if they weren't, and this was the work of some other entity, it could be even worse. It meant they might have to contend with an entirely unknown and potentially dangerous enemy.

Orion could only think of a few individuals who might provide the answers to his questions: Naka, and the mysterious forces behind the Divine Corps. He also considered the possibility of meeting age-old Spirit Beasts that had resided there for epochs. Although it would be dangerous, his only option was to continue growing stronger until he was powerful enough to unravel all the puzzles.

Suddenly, the vastness of the Spirit Realm that Orion had once imagined seemed small compared to the magnitude of the information they had just grasped.

A hand abruptly grasped Orion's shoulder, snapping him out of his thoughts.

Orion turned to the side and saw Ilse staring at him with a worried expression.

"Don't dwell on this too much. I, along with countless other divine beings, have tried to unravel this conspiracy for years, but none of us have succeeded. I doubt you'll encounter anything significant during your first entry into the Spirit Realm, or until we've completed our journey," Ilse said softly. "And even if we do, I'll be there to support you, no matter what."

Orion nodded, a smile forming on his lips. What were the chances that he would encounter six of the most important figures of the era, form a force with a name reminiscent of one from the past, and create a new Mysteries capable of rivalling the powers of the Divine Mysteries? He doubted Ilse's earlier words, as he didn't believe he was lucky enough to avoid such situations. Nevertheless, he didn't voice his thoughts as her final words warmed his heart. He knew her relentless nature and that she meant what she said.

"Let's go in and look around before we return," Orion said, gently placing his hand on her head.

Ilse nodded in agreement.

They both soared toward the other side of the thin red line and as the red portal revealed itself, they entered. Initially, Orion felt resistance against his body and soul, as if something were trying to push him out of the Spirit Realm.

But the force wasn't strong enough to be an obstruction; it felt like a thin sheet of paper, which he quickly tore through. The world around him twisted with a glowing red light before his vision darkened, only to return moments later, revealing a strange new world.

The landscape resembled that of the material world, but the grass possessed a bright green hue. In the distance, the forest was alive, with trees walking as their roots merged into large, writhing limbs that traversed vast distances, reverberating with a thunderous "BOOOM!"

Orion looked up.

The sky above was an expanse of swirling mist, with floating landmasses dotting the horizon and glowing streams of rivers flowing from one unknown end to another. Some cascaded onto the floating landmasses, only to stream out in various locations, each heading in a strange direction.

Orion attempted to utilize his Divine Mandate but sensed he was steadily losing his connection to it. He felt the Spirit Realm restraining his body, blocking his attempts to circulate his Vylkr energy.

If not for his Divine Physique, Orion doubted he would be able to use even half of his strength.

The Spirit Realm was just as peculiar as he had imagined.

Orion looked behind him and noticed that the line had changed colour, no longer blue but red. He suspected that red signified the entrance to the Spirit Realm, while blue marked the exit.

He focused forward and scanned the surroundings but couldn't detect any Spirit Beasts.

"Since this area is unknown, don't use your Divine Sense recklessly. We don't want to draw any unwanted attention," Ilse advised.
