Chapter 1515 - Upside Down
Chapter 1515 - Upside Down
"Gramma, how are our new friends?" Suddenly, the twins heard a voice coming from the door as a young man who seemed to be in his middle 20s entered the room. "Oh, so you can already use Divine Sense.
That\'s truly remarkable. You two set the record for the fastest recovery so far."
Rean didn\'t want to talk about that, though. \'Alright, alright. Let\'s leave our recovery speed aside for now. First, let me ask you. What are your names?\'
The old gramma and the man nodded in response. "Oh, where are our manners. I\'m Glasita, and this young man here is my grandson, Xuve."
Rean slightly nodded in response. \'Nice to meet you, senior Glasita, brother Xuve. You can call me Rean. The other guy who looks just like me is my brother, Roan.\' Roan slightly nodded as well and let Rean continue the talking. \'As you obviously know, we\'re completely at a loss as to what is happening here. Senior Glasita mentioned that she doesn\'t know where we are. Could it be that we are imprisoned somewhere?\'
Xuve confirmed Rean\'s words, replying, "It\'s not wrong to think like that. Well, I was born here, so live never felt imprisoned since I\'ve never seen the outside world. However, for people like you and my gramma, this should indeed look like imprisonment. Of course, it\'s not like you didn\'t give this place a name of its own. We call the area we\'re in the Upside Down World."
\'Upside Down World?\' Rean and Roan became confused after that. \'Why such a name?\'
"Oh, right! You haven\'t left this room ever since you arrived. Let me bring you two outside to take a look at the environment." Xuve then used his Divine Energy to grab the nvins before moving out of the room.
Immediately, the twins were shocked by what they saw.
"This..."
In front of their eyes was a literal upside-down world. Rean and Roan could see that they were inside some kind of cylindrical area. In any case, it formed a perfect roundabout. When they looked up, they could see more buildings upside down while the building they were in was in the right position. Naturally, the buildings on the sides seemed to be rotated 90 degrees.
As they looked around, they could see more people and demon beasts walking in the distance. Above them, the people seemed to be walking upside down as well. "The gravity of this place is all messed up."
Glasita agreed with the twins as she laughed in response. "Hahaha! Indeed it is. Surprising, isn\'t it? I was just as shocked as you when I arrived here many years ago. If you walk on the street and move to the sides, you\'ll eventually end up there. It\'ll look like we\'re the ones upside down while they\'re in the right position."
Roan calculated that they would need to move at least twenty or so kilometers to do one full round. The cylindrical area was just that big. Then again, Rean and Roan were lucky as they were on the top of a big building. From there, they could see both sides far in the distance. However, they couldn\'t see the end of the cylindrical region on any of the sides. \'How far does this upside-down world extend?\'
Glasita answered, "It extends for a total of 1341 kilometers. Just so you know, the inside of this \'tube\' where we are at the moment is the same regardless of where you are in the Upside Down World."
That size wasn\'t a small area. Then again, it did look to have quite a lot of cultivators and demon beasts. \'So, in the entire 1341 kilometers, there\'s no way of heading out, is there?\'
"Precisely so." Xuve nodded without hesitation.
Naturally, the twins were curious about it. "How come?"
Glasita sighed before explaining, "That\'s because there\'s some kind of powerful barrier that covers the entire place. It\'s not like we can\'t pass through it, but we will die if we do so. No one has been able to resist more than a few seconds inside that barrier."
Rean narrowed his eyes after hearing that. \'Barrier? Powerful? Are you talking about the continental barrier?\'
Glasita shook her head, telling them, "Quite a few of us had seen the continental barriers before. The barrier holding us inside is definitely different from the continental barriers. Since you mentioned the continental barriers, you definitely know that it has all the elements of the Realm of Gods mixed in it, right?"
Rean nodded again, saying, \'Indeed, they have all of them in a constantly chaotic state.\'
Glasita then continued, "Our barrier is different. It\'s basically filled with the five mainstream elements other than Divine Energy. It\'s also abundant in Yin and Yang Energies. We have no idea what generates it, though."
Rean immediately put the continental barrier aside. Then again, he hoped it was the continental barrier since they would have the chance to use the Kibin. However, that was obviously out of the question for now. \'From your description, it\'s most likely a formation that keeps it up. Possibly, it\'s also the same formation that keeps this place\'s gravity in such a state.\'
"We thought the same thing." Sure enough, they had their own Formation Masters as well. "Some of us even call it a slaughtering formation. It\'s quite unfortunate we can\'t check it out, though. The barrier covers the entire Upside Down World. The formation keeping it up is located beyond the barrier."
Rean had an idea when he heard that, but now wasn\'t the time to mention it.. "So, how do you live in this place?"
