Chapter 2057 Until They Appeared
Gem knew something about it. "I could tell you what I know, but my knowledge of this place is from a long time ago. It's better if Sesame explains to you all and then continues with the answer to my question next."
Sesame already expected that, so he began to recount what he was aware of. "First, the part that my Master Gem knows. Roan is right to say that this isn't the kind of environment you would find in the Underworld. That's because this area wasn't part of the Underworld to start with. Instead, due to a war a long time ago, this place fell from the Realm of Gods and ended here in the Underworld."
"Fell from the Realm of Gods?" Those words surprised Rean and Roan's group. "Is that even possible?"
Gem nodded as it was part of what he already knew. "It is. To be more specific, some were the aftermath of battles between my Vruve Organization and Tiana's Wafrol Forces. Others happened due to fights between other forces. Some were simply natural cataclysms. Things like that, you know?" One must remember that before Tiana took over the Vruve Organization, her organization went by the name of Wafrol.
Sesame agreed with Gem and continued. "He is right. In truth, you can find a few more places like this one in all three higher realms. From what I know, it seems that the Northeast side of the Center of the Realm of Gods was taken by the Underworld Forces, right?"
The twins' group nodded and waited for Sesame to continue. "One of the reasons they selected that part wasn't just because the Temporal Path Entrance was there. There are more exists of the Temporal Path, after all. It's just that since the Underworld has control over it, the other entrances are sealed, so only their entrance at the Realm of Gods works."
"Anyway, another reason for them to select the Northeast side when they attacked the Realm of Gods was that you can find a small piece of the Underworld there. The natural Dark Element Environment of that area served as the initial source to enlarge that kind of environment in the rest of the Northeast side in the center of the Realm of Gods."
"Naturally, you can find similar places in Heaven as well. It's just that usually, these separated pieces of other Higher Realms are tightly guarded by the experts of each realm. If you don't have a high position in the hierarchy of a higher realm, you probably won't hear about them during your entire life."
The twins' group had to admit it made sense. They, indeed, had never heard about these pockets of land from other realms in the Realm of Gods.
Sesame continued. "So, that's how this place ended in the Underworld. Back then, this was an important area of the Realm of Gods. As you can possibly imagine, the Vuvre Organization was the one controlling it, and the Wafrol Forces wanted to take it. Another one of the many wars between our organizations started, and through the use of a special formation, the Wafrol forces disconnected this place from the Realm of Gods. This place ended up falling inside the Underworld and has been here ever since."
"What was important about this place?" Luan asked back.
Gem was the one to answer it. "Some of our facilities of research were located here. The environment was perfect for carrying out tests with formations, weapons, and things like that. Truly a difficult place to find in the Realm of Gods. I still find it a pity that it ended in the Underworld."
Sesame sighed in response. "Indeed. Too bad that once it was sent to the Underworld, it lost all its value. The good thing about the environment of this place was that it was like it because of its location in the Realm of Gods. Here in the Underworld, this is truly just a piece of a small land in a place where it shouldn't be. It has lost any value as a testing ground. After all, the Underworld is filled with Devilish Energy, not Divine Energy."
"They might be variations of the same Divine Origin Energy but are still different," Gem added.
Sesame recalled the past. "Because of how great this land was, it also gave birth to many species. In a stroke of fate, it ended up giving birth to me, a Pixiu. Of course, I was born way before the battle for this place happened. I'm just telling you that to show how good it was. The requirements for a Pixiu to be born are ridiculously complicated." As a Pixiu himself, Sesame obviously understood it.
"That's also the reason why I'm bound to this place," he lamented. "It's not wrong to say that my very existence is partially due to it. If I leave, I won't survive for more than a century. It's like you suddenly started to pull out the blood from my body until it dried completely, ending in my death. Even within the Pixiu race, such a situation is very rare. Most Pixius are born from Heaven and Earth but are free to roam around. I am not."
Sesame didn't dwell on it for long, though. "Well, leaving it aside, when the Vruve Organization came to this place for the first time, I had been captured and forced to use my abilities against my will. That is, until Gem and his Vruve Organization finally appeared."
