Chapter 1967: Not Bored
With that taken care of, Roan immediately pressed them. 'I don't know how long that formation will stay deactivated. In any case, we should cross over to the next continent now so that the devil who's after you won't suddenly appear in front of us.'
Surprisingly, Fleus wasn't worried. 'Don't worry. That formation connected to Fraghal City won't activate anytime soon.'
Rean took the chance to ask after that. 'I'm also a Formation Master. Yet, I didn't see what you did to the formations. You were able to force-activate one and turn off the other without the Formation Masters noticing it. How did you do that?'
Unfortunately, Fleus didn't intend to answer. 'Now then, that's my secret. All I can say is that it won't work everywhere.'
Well, Rean wasn't really disappointed by his answer. He wouldn't have said anything, either. 'That's fine. I memorized the runes of the formation used in this city, so I'll try it myself later and see if I can understand the problem.'
Fleus was taken aback for a moment. Even if the formation wasn't that high-level, memorizing all the runes in that little time they had wasn't something just anyone could do. 'You're lying...'
Rean didn't try to insist. 'You're free to believe whatever you want.'
Their cultivation opened the doors for their group, so they were able to pass through the continental barrier tunnel ahead of most devils. It also helped that the majority of devils were heading to the borders and not moving away like them.

On the other side, Rean and Roan spotted the first spatial gate that the devils had mentioned, the ones created by the Elder Devils to make as many devils as possible reach the various borders of their territory in the Realm of Gods.
"Next!"
There were quite a few devils taking care of it, making sure the flow continued.
"That's the continental barrier tunnel. Just go through it. Next!"
"Next!"
"Next..."
Yet they could only see devils coming out one by one. There didn't seem to be many devils trying to go back. Well, to be more specific, they couldn't see even one devil trying it.
Rean then approached the devils guarding the spatial gate. "Let us pass. We're returning to the Temporal Path."

The devil in charge looked at Rean in response. He didn't care about Rean's cultivation as his was higher. Instead, he simply extended his hand. "Dark Follower Badge."
Rean looked at the guy in confusion. "Dark Follower Badge...? What is that?"
The guard narrowed his eyes after hearing that. "If you don't have it, then go away. The spatial gates are only available for those who are coming from the Temporal Path. No one's allowed return to it without permission."
"Here you go. Let us enter." Suddenly, Fleus pulled out something that looked like a dark medallion with the image of a horned devil in a meditating position on it.
The devil took the thing and checked it with his Divine Sense for a moment. By the looks on his face, he didn't seem to like what he saw very much. Yet, the devil didn't say anything. With that, he looked back at the devils at the spatial gate. "Let them pass. Tell the other side we're sending some devils back."
Rean and Roan looked at Fleus in surprise. Fleus' capability of stopping the formation already showed he wasn't just anyone. That Dark Follower Badge only made them even more sure of it. 'We did help you, expecting that your knowledge of the Underworld would help us later. In any case, we didn't know you had such influence.'
Fleus shook his head. 'I don't have any influence. That badge is fake. Hahaha!' Fleus quickly took the initiative and walked to the spatial gate. 'Let's go. You won't want to be here if they find out the truth.'
Rean and Roan didn't quite believe that. Fleus was definitely different. But then again, they knew very well how the Soul Gem System had the trait of attracting destiny. More often than not, they would end up meeting and getting involved with such figures. It's just that it usually wasn't something good for them, so they kept their guards up.

They appeared on the other side of the spatial gate, being able to see the next continental barrier. 'Seems like it was true. The spatial gates are really connected to the borders of the continents. I can only imagine how many Devil Stones are being used to keep them open all the time.'
Fleus nodded in response. 'The Elder Devils are not sparing any expenses to make sure they can get as many devils as possible for that war. These spatial gates will definitely stay open for many decades.'
Rean looked at the continental barrier in front and decided to ask Fleus. 'Is the reason they aren't allowing anyone to go back because they want to prevent the devils from running away from the war?'
Fleus pondered over it for a bit. 'Perhaps? I find it quite a meaningless action, though. Most devils are usually under some higher devil's influence. If the order is given, they will have to come and stay. Not to mention most of the devils won't pass on the opportunity to come to the Realm of Gods even if a war is about to happen. The devils in the Underworld usually are very jealous of the devils here since they have access to living souls. Even war wouldn't scare them away when such benefits are considered.'
Roan shrugged his shoulders as he said, 'Even if the numbers are low, lost soldiers are still soldiers. You have to consider the great picture. How many continents border the devils' territory? When you put them all together, the number is bound to be enormous. The Elder Devils might as well block any passage to prevent it from happening.'
'True.' Fleus agreed with Roan.
This time, even the tunnel in the continental barrier was blocked for those trying to go back. Fleus had to use his badge again for them to pass.
Seeing how convenient that badge was, Roan decided to ask Fleus something. 'By the way, why did you approach us? Surely it wasn't just because you were bored, right?'
