Start in Terra, immortal

Chapter 5: The Beginning, Man and God and Man

With a piercing friction sound and violent shaking, the Demon Realm severed its connection with Greenblad and flew into the cosmos, once again disappearing into another dimension.

Since the day the Spirit Realm was named, Rosso's figure has appeared in every part of the Demon Realm, and all these places have one thing in common: demon beings have died there.

"Why do souls dissipate so quickly?" Rosso couldn't understand. During this time, he had been paying close attention to every sentient being on the continent of the Demon Realm. Whenever a creature died, Rosso could immediately sense it.

Rosso originally planned to collect another batch of souls when the number was almost enough, but when he went there, he found that there was no spiritual matter at all in that place, only empty elemental energy.

The question was answered after Rosso observed the death of a creature up close—the spiritual matter was assimilated the moment it left the body, leaving almost no time to remain outside the body.

"It wasn't like this back in Greenbrad. Could it be because the Demon Realm is currently wandering in another dimension?"

Unable to verify, in order to collect more souls, Rosso had to keep a close eye on those dying spiritual beings, appearing beside them before they died and intercepting the spiritual matter escaping from their bodies at the moment of their death.

Because every spiritual being could see Rosso appear beside them at the moment of their death, the souls who came to the spirit world began to spread the legend of the messenger of the gods.

Legend has it that when each life comes to an end, a divine messenger will descend to deliver the life from pain and torment, take it to the spirit world, escape the pursuit of death, and grant it eternal life.

In Association Square in Brooklyn, Kahn's tall figure stands like a sculpture in the center of the square.

In his perception, the aura he had sensed when he stepped into the Demon Realm was constantly appearing, disappearing, and reappearing in his senses, sometimes in different places, and sometimes in the same place.

"No wonder Herder was so secretive about this power; the power of a god is indeed something no human can contend with."

At this time, a few demons still lived in the association square. They were also curious about the tall figure that had recently appeared in the center of the square, and they gathered around and whispered among themselves, "That person looks so tall, he doesn't look like a demon at all!"

Kahn ignored the curiosity of the demons around him; he had experienced firsthand the suffering that wanderers on the continent would endure.

Thanks to his powerful physique, these cosmic rays and extradimensional storms had little effect on him, but for these weak demons, they were nothing short of torture, and it was difficult for any demon to survive unscathed.

Moreover, power is often accompanied by loneliness. It's uncertain how long these new neighbors will remain here.

The familiar dimensional rift, the familiar cosmic space—the Demon Realm once again squeezed out of the other dimension, slowly approaching a golden planet.

It wasn't just the Demon Realm that rushed out of the other dimension; it was accompanied by other things that were already heading towards the golden planet ahead of the Demon Realm.

Just as the Demon Realm was about to approach the golden planet, something streaked across the sky, ascended to the Demon Realm, and headed straight for Cain.

A sharp eagle's cry echoed across the association's plaza. "Are you one of the culprits behind the anomaly in Tayberrs?"

Kahn remained unmoved by the questioning, but secretly thought that this matter must be related to Hilder. Looking at the birdman in the air who was flapping eight wings and pointing at him with his forepaws, Kahn went to meet him.

Without exchanging a single word, the two clashed for the first time, fists and claws meeting, sending shockwaves through the air. Neither used any energy techniques, as if it were a test before a formal battle.

The collision stopped, and the two stood apart. Red light began to emanate from Kahn's hands, as exceptionally pure energy condensed. The birdman also began to shoot out feathers, the patterns on which were gradually unfolding.

Energy balls and feathers shot out continuously, intertwining in the air to form a cluster. Explosions followed one after another, and endless heat waves spread out, raising dust.

The demons watching from afar looked grim; the almost tangible pressure rendered them immobile, with only a few able to move freely amidst the intense aftershocks of the battle. Coincidentally, one of them was the demon who had been whispering beside Cain earlier.

"Was that...that person really that terrifying?" The demon asked, still shaken. "We actually had such a terrifying being as our neighbor?"

In this inhuman battle, the demons of Brooklyn had no chance of escaping. The aftershocks of the battle could reach the entire city of Brooklyn at any moment, making it absurd to think about leaving Brooklyn in a short time.

Therefore, the battle lasted for several days, and the demons lived in fear for several days. Even after the demon realm severed its connection with Tayberrs, the man and the bird were still fighting fiercely.

During the days that the man and the bird were fighting, Rosso didn't watch the show; instead, he was verifying his previous guesses.

When the demon realm is in another dimension, spiritual matter dissipates as soon as it leaves the body. This is likely because it lacks the protection of a planet's magnetic field. The more chaotic energy and rules in the other dimension accelerate the assimilation process of spiritual matter.

After the Demon Realm left the other-dimensional space and connected with Tayberrs, the spiritual matter emanating from the dying creature's body returned to the level it had when it connected with Greenblad.

"The Demon Realm's current state wastes a lot of souls. Although these souls have a negligible impact on the Spirit Realm, they add up. But it's unrealistic to collect them before all creatures are on the verge of death, as we did before. It seems we need to stabilize the Demon Realm on a planet as soon as possible. Or, I could find some helpers to collect them for me," Rosso thought to himself.

"Only children make choices; I want them all!"

In the Mollusk Valley, Hilder picked up her staff. "It's time to stop this fight." Just as she was about to intervene, Rosso suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Herald, I know what you're going to do, and I won't stop you, but instead of chasing after those vague prophecies, focus on the present."

With a wave of his hand, Rosso conjured up a scene of peaceful and prosperous life for the demons in the spirit world before Hilder.

"You must be familiar with this place. They are living in another form now. For me, death is not the end of life. What you want, I may not be able to give you now, but it is not impossible in the future. At that time, not only will it be Yannemer who has made you who you are now, but even Terra is not out of the question."

Ignoring Hilder's reaction, Rosso continued, "You can continue to search for the hosts of those twelve powers, but I have one request: that the Demon Realm be stabilized in Arad as soon as possible. The largest fragment of Caloso is there, and it will surely be the eye of the storm in this world."

After saying that, Rosso returned to the spirit world. It was time to pick out a few laborers to help me build the spirit world!
