Is that a Wisp?

Krune noticed the house being filled with books and scrolls everywhere, making it a messy place for a pregnant lady to live in. Though, since it seemed like Tina didn't pay too much heed to it, he didn't say anything, calmly sitting on the sofa in the living room.

It seemed Tina had already informed Gegrafikan through her Divine Sense since the scratching sounds vanished as a messy individual walked out of the room, scratching his head before looking at Krune in surprise. "I was surprised to hear that there was something you needed my help with."

"Why is that surprising?" Krune asked, surprised at the question.

"Well…" Gegrafikan coughed, muttering with a wry smile, "It seemed like you had a solution to everything and also seemed capable of everything."

"That… isn't entirely true." Krune smiled wryly as he responded, "I do have a lot of troubles that I cannot solve on my own. One of which is what I'm currently facing."

"What trouble is it?" Gegrafikan asked, suddenly trembling in shock upon seeing Krune return to his wisp form, muttering in fear, "A…wisp!"

"You know of wisps?" Krune asked in surprise, saying upon seeing him nod. "There aren't any in God Realm, though. So, how did you find out about them?"

"That's not true." Gegrafikan sighed, trembling a bit before saying, "There was one wisp who lived in the God Realm before."

"He called himself Wally and later became a God. He almost caused the Four Realms to destabilize," Gegrafikan said, controlling his trembling. "I've seen Wally a couple of times personally. So, I know everything there is to know about wisps."

"So, you've seen Wally." Krune nodded, understanding.

"That isn't all." Gegrafikan continued, "Wisps are an ancient race just like us Spirit Aberrations. We were all born around the same time. However, a wisp is basically energy that clumped together to gain some sentience. So innately speaking, wisps are a defective race and becoming an immortal is impossible, not to mention becoming a God."

"Then…" Krune was just about to interject when he realized that the other party was aware of Wally. So, there should have been a reason for his claim. He remained silent, wishing to hear the reason next.

"The source of this defect is from the fact that wisps are just energy beings. In the God Realm, they're just manifestations of Godly Energy. And just as how everyone can use Godly Energy to invoke a variety of abilities, wisps can become a variety of forms themselves." Gegrafikan then took in a deep breath before continuing, "And, here lies one of the root causes of the trouble any Wisp faces."

"Mating between different races generally doesn't produce any offspring. On the off chance the two parent races have enough similarities, there's a possibility of them birthing an offspring. Surprisingly, wisps don't have such a limitation. Given that they could take on a human form, they can mate with any race and produce offspring without any trouble," he spoke.

Upon seeing Krune's face twitch, he continued, "Moreover, wisps are generally attracted subconsciously to those possessing powerful cultivation techniques. Just like how a cultivator having a strong cultivation technique can pull in a lot of Godly Energy from their surroundings to cultivate, they can also attract the attention of any wisp that faces them."

Upon seeing Krune's shock, Gegrafikan laughed, saying, "So, one way or another, any wisp that doesn't die from its low lifespan ends up mating with someone. If it hadn't done that, then the only reason is because it was fleeing for life constantly. Otherwise, wisps are by far the easiest race to mate with. Then again, it's not like everyone knows about this."

"Since we Spirit Aberrations have existed from the beginning of the Four Realms, the amount of information we have inherited from our ancestors through our bloodline is an unsurpassable chasm. So not many from us might know about this fact," Gegrafikan said. "And, though wisps are defective in many ways, they wouldn't have been blockaded in cultivation before reaching the Nascent God Realm. The actual problems would only crop up once you try to break through to the Semi-God Realm and beyond."

"Then, why am I facing this problem?" Krune wondered.

"Since you have mated and produced an offspring, it caused the defects in you to increase. That's the reason. The greater the number of children you have increases or the more the number of races you've mated with, the greater the defects that would accumulate in you until your Wisp Core shatters." Gegrafikan sighed. "Wally suffered from the same fate. Though in his case, he faced obstacles in even reaching the God Core Realm. He was…rather popular with women from various races."

"What's the solution to rectify this problem?" Krune asked, getting excited upon seeing that Gegrafikan was well-versed with the issue. This meant his problem could be easily solved.

"There are two choices." Gegrafikan sighed, saying after some hesitation, "The first is to annihilate all your offspring and soak in their blood for your defects to gradually heal themselves."

Upon seeing Krune's expression of anger, Gegrafikan nodded. "Yeah, it's not advisable. Even if you end up doing it, you'll feel like shit for the rest of your life. But the second option, though feasible, contains more risks than the first option."

"You'll have to immerse yourself in many Law Pools."

"Law Pools?" Krune asked in confusion.

"A Law Pool is basically a place where there only exists one Law, and its quality of concentration had reached the Primal God Realm. In other words, it has manifested into a tangible state in reality. You'll have to immerse yourself in such a pool to heal your defects," Gegrafikan explained.

He then said after some hesitation, "However, there's a problem with this."

"What's this problem?" Krune asked, becoming serious upon seeing Gegrafikan's hesitation, reassuring him. "Please tell me. I promise I won't do anything unsensible."

"Deep into every continent, situated at their core is a vacuum. Present within this vacuum are these Law Pools. Usually, there's only one Law Pool that had grown to become tangible in a continent's core while the remaining Law Pools would be small and intangible," he explained, sighing as he decided to tell Krune the truth.

"When you immerse yourself in this Law Pool, your defects would be healed. In exchange, the defects that your Wisp Core ejects out would be absorbed into the Law Pool, causing it to no longer be pure." He then continued, his tone filled with worry, "This would imply that the foundation of the entire continent would be damaged, causing the Godly Energy in it to run amok…"

"Millions of people would die as a result."
