After recovering their energies, Rean and Roan once again summoned many clones and began to use the Crescent Moon Skill to surround Cryan with Weapon Auras. This ti, they were even more used to it, so it didn't take two hours to reach the barrier between the two sides. Instead, one hour was enough.
Once there, they reduced their speed and enclosed the Weapon Auras more closely. Cryan got nervous seeing all that energy but still went ahead with it. At the very least, that helped cut his connection with the Planet's World Essence even more.
Little by little, they stepped out of the Pseudo-Dinsional Realm, followed by Cryan inside. Finally, Cryan's body appeared on the outside, succeeding in escaping that area. "Yes!"
"Don't relax yet," Roan's voice echoed near Cryan. "We are still on the planet and very close to the center. If we let go of you, there is a good chance the planet will once again drag you to its center. We will continue progressing like this until we are completely outside of the atmosphere."
Cryan cald down and agreed with Roan. "Sorry, please continue."
The further away they got from the center of the planet, the smaller Cryan felt the connection with its World Essence. At so point, they reached the surface.
The commotion caused by their group caught quite a few people's attention. After all, there were tens of similar cultivators creating a do of slashing waves rising into the sky. There was no way it wouldn't get a few curious eyes. Still, Rean and Roan avoided any populated area, so no deaths were caused by their attacks as they went up.
Eagon stayed close by, stopping all the cultivators who ca to watch from getting close. Just the pressure of Divine Energy alone was enough to make them flee with their tails between their legs.
Finally, a few days went by while the twins kept bringing Cryan further and further away. They left the planet's atmosphere and kept going until they were so far that the planet looked like nothing more than a small dot. Only then did the twins stop their thods, causing all the clones and the do of Weapon Intent to disappear.
Eagon and the twins looked at Cryan, waiting for his response.
Cryan slowly got used to the environnt and finally talked back. "I can still feel the World Essence of Sunkan Planet even from this distance. If I simply let myself go, I will eventually be dragged back there. However, the pulling force is extrely low at the mont. If I leave this solar system, it should completely disappear."
Eagon's eyes lit up. "Does that an you are free now?"
Cryan confird. "At the very least, I believe I am."
Rean and Roan nodded in satisfaction. "Then, with that, our part of the deal is concluded. The rest can be discussed between the two of you. How you will get Cryan to release his Divine Origin Energy for Eagon or whatever will depend on yourselves."
Eagon could only nod, although he was still afraid that Cryan might go back on his word and simply flee at so point. "I see... Alright, those two contracts have already been passed to you, so we owe each other nothing else. Cryan, how do you want to do it?"
Cryan then focused on the surroundings before warning Eagon. "It seems like I can finally feel the presence of the Mortal Realm Rejection."
Eagon obviously knew what he was talking about. "Does that an the Universe couldn't feel your presence before when you were inside that Pseudo-Dinsional Realm?"
"I think so," said Cryan. "I can now feel how the Spatial Powers around are trying to force my body to do sothing. I believe this is the Mortal Realm trying to send to the Realm of Gods or maybe even the Heaven or Underworld Realms. Just like you said, this power seems to increase as ti passes."
The twins nodded. "Indeed, that's the Mortal Realm trying to get rid of you. In any case, you can discuss with Eagon about how you will do it."
Eagon imdiately pointed out. "One thing is certain then. Before, I thought I could cultivate here in the Mortal Realm and return to the Realm of Gods once every fifty years just so that the Mortal Realm would forget my existence. Keeping you hidden in the Mortal Realm seed the best idea as well. However, now that you are also being rejected, you will be sent to the Realm of Gods sooner or later. We will have to find a place to hide you while we are there."
"The Realm of Gods is ridiculously gigantic, isn't it?" Cryan asked. "Pretty much anywhere far away from the center should be good enough for the job."
"The problem is that I don't know where you will appear," Eagon explained. "I know the general region where those who ascend from here end, but not the exact location."
Rean and Roan rembered the ti they ascended. Back then, they heard that the place you appear after ascension was determined by the place you were before. Of course, because of the Soul Gem System, they ended up appearing sowhere completely different from where they should have been.
Roan then warned them. "If you know the general location where he will appear, then those guys we fought probably know too. I would recomnd you guys move to a different region before doing it."
Eagon imdiately accepted the idea. "Alright, I know the best place. It will make you appear in a pretty empty region far away from the Center of the Realm of Gods." Right after, he passed a token to Cryan. "Keep it with you. As long you have it, I can find you in the Realm of Gods. The rest now depends on whether you will keep your word or not."
Cryan imdiately took the token. "I will keep it. Anyway, let's leave this place. I don't want to be here if those guys return later."
Eagon couldn't agree more. " neither."
But before leaving, he asked the twins. "What about you. I truly can't recomnd staying in this place."
Rean and Roan understood that. "We know. Don't worry, you can go ahead. We probably won't see each other anymore after this. We have a few unfinished business in Sunkan, so we are staying."
Eagon smiled in response. "Very well."
He then opened a spatial gate, which would bring him and Cryan sowhere else in the Mortal Realm. "Let's go, Cryan."
Cryan looked back at Sunkan a last ti. "Since you are staying, try to do sothing for its safety. This is the place where I gained my sentience, after all. I would help, but if I get close, I will be dragged inside again."
"Don't worry," Rean was happy with the feeling. "We will see to its wellbeing."
Finally, Eagon and Cryan entered the Spatial Gate, disappearing from the Solar System and the galaxy itself. As for the twins, they returned to Sunkan.
