Little Arty let out a sigh before saying.
"What can I do? The fact is that there aren't enough reinforcements to help them. In fact, I'm already very impressed with the Frunkan Clan. They had already reached this point and made their plans work this well. At first, I thought they wouldn't be able to succeed, but they did."
Krune pondered for a bit before saying.
"Do you want me to help? You have done a lot for Feifei and the others during this time. You even went as far as creating a formation capable of sharing the Godly Energy of the Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere after giving it up. Otherwise, Feifei and the others definitely wouldn't have reached their current cultivation levels."
Little Art was happy to hear that Krune wanted to help, but he shook his head in the end as he replied.
"It's okay. I gave the Frunkan Clan what they wanted, a chance. Even if you join their side, what could you do on your own? I admit that you are strong, but can you fight all of the Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts of the Retaking Alliance?"
Krune nodded, as if he was stating a fact.
"It's highly likely that I can, to be honest."
The entire room went silent to the point where one could hear a needle dropping.
Feifei then returned to her senses before saying.
"Stop saying bullshit. I might believe it if you were at the Peak of the Divinity Realm. But you're telling me you can do it at the 4th Stage? That's just tantamount to killing yourself."
Everyone nodded, thinking the same thing as Feifei. Krune showed his strength when he blocked Liriu and Fie's attack, but that was in a controlled environment. It was totally different from being attacked by hundreds, if not thousands of Divinity Realm enemies.
Krune scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to say.
"You know it was just a joke, right? I can indeed battle a few Divinity Realm cultivators and Demon Beasts at once, but there's no way I can fight all of them alone. That would just be suicidal."
Cinty couldn't care less, saying.

However, they can still communicate. If we have the wisp race joining the Home Alliance, the wisps outside will suffer. The Wisp Hunt might even start again."
Krune felt helpless. That was really just a joke, but they all took it seriously.
"Ahem... then forget it."
Krune pondered a bit until finally, he had an idea.
"Oh! The main issue here is that the Home Alliance won't be able to hold the Formation Core, where the Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere is located, right? What if I say that no one will be able to approach it? Would that be enough?"
Little Arty was surprised to hear that.
"Can you do that?"
Krune nodded.
"Yes. I have a few things with me that I got from Iem back in the Godly Path Realm. I doubt anyone would be able to access the Dimensional Sphere once I'm done tinkering with it."
Little Arty was happy to hear those words.
"That's great! The problem is that Dalin doesn't have enough time to wait for their own forces to grow. Many powers still aren't convinced that the Frunkan Clan can really hold the Retaking Alliance back. As long as something can downright stop them from taking control over the Dalin Universe Formation Core, that will force the others' stances to change."
Krune nodded. He wouldn't intervene in the battles that will happen, but he can at least guarantee that Little Arty would have his wishes fulfilled. As for the war, deaths, and things like that, Krune didn't mind it too much. If the Dalin residents wanted to take the universe back and be free, sacrifices would be necessary. There was no other way around it.
Little Arty couldn't hold his curiosity in the end.
"How are you going to do it?"
Krune nodded.
"As I mentioned during our meal last time, Iem and I went through a lot of things together in the Godly Path Realm. Before I left, he passed me a Spatial Ring with several formations that he got from the Formation Guild of the Godly Path Realm. They're just like the formation plates that we use here in the Mortal Realm. There is no need for me to create them. I just need to position the plates in the right places."
Feifei's interest immediately got piqued.
"Are those God-Level Formation Plates?"
Krune laughed when he saw Feifei's bright eyes. Sure enough, a Formation Master like her would be excited with something like this.
"That's correct. Don't worry, Iem left a few more different ones inside as well."
Krune then transferred the formation plates he was going to use to another spatial ring and gave the rest to Feifei.
"These are all God-Level Formation Plates. They are above the Divinity Stars Level. You can research them as much as you want. Just try not to break them. After all, we won't be able to find replacements or fix them here in the Mortal Realm."
Feifei glared at Krune.
"Shut up! I'm also a Formation Master. I wouldn't do such a thing."
Krune shrugged his shoulders and let Feifei enjoy the contents in the Spatial Ring.
"Little Arty, Iem gave me these Formation Plates for me to use together with the Godly Energy Stones I brought with me. However, your Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere can already generate it on its own. You can simply create a similar connection formation to charge them, just like this one here in the Wisp World."
Litle Arty agreed with Krune.
"Don't worry. The hardest part was to create one, which is already done. Feifei and I can simply create another receptor of Godly Energy that will charge your plates. However, how big is the protection that these plates can create? As you could probably imagine, a Formation Core that can hold a Universe Protection Formation is anything but small. The Dalin Protection Formation Core occupies an entire solar system at the center of the universe."
Krune simply laughed after hearing that.
"Don't worry. Different from the Godly Path Realm, the Mortal Realm doesn't have Godly Energy. Spiritual Energy only has a slight hindering effect on the spread of the Formation. Because of that, the plates can be spread even further. The amount in the Spatial Ring should be enough to create a big enough barrier."
Krune then warned Little Arty.
"However! This is not a formation created to last. It was made to be used on certain occasions in different places. Because of that, there is a limit on how long it can operate. Iem told me that the plates would wear out eventually the more they are used. It's basically related to the quality of the materials used to create the plates. At most, the protection given by these plates will last 150 to 200 years, tops. During this time, the Frunkan Clan will have to convince the rest of the powers about their abilities."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLittle Arty wasn't surprised by that. After all, he had several God-Level Formations built inside the Godly Energy Dimensional Realm. He knew how they worked.
"That's more than enough. This is already a second chance that we would be giving the Dalin Universe to take back what is theirs. If they can't grasp this opportunity, then I can only say that they were destined to fail from the very start."
Krune nodded and didn't say anything else. He simply left it all for Little Arty to deal with.
Little Arty didn't waste time. He immediately contacted the Frunkan Clan, telling them about the extra help he found. Naturally, the Frunkan Clan head was delighted to hear that. It only took a few minutes for a Spatial Gate to appear outside the Wisp Main World, where someone appeared to take Little Arty. Krune had already explained to him how to operate the plates through a Divine Sense message, so Little Arty didn't need to wait.
With these issues resolved, Krune was left in the room with the rest.
"Is it okay for Little Arty to go by himself with the Frunkan Clan?"
Fie nodded.
"Little Arty still controls the Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere thanks to the Formation he and Mom created. The Frunkan Clan would have to be incredibly idiotic to try something against him since he could simply turn the Dalin Universe Protection Formation off. Once that happens, the Frunkan Clan would be done for."
Krune was satisfied to hear that. They had left a way to protect themselves after giving the Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere away.
To talk about the Dalin Universe war, only Cinty, Fie, and Darten came this time. In Darten's case, he simply came to accompany his wife. Cinty was the first one to leave after confirming that Krune wouldn't intervene in that war. But before that, she warned him that both alliances would eventually contact him to ask about his disappearance. Krune was already expecting that since he did appear in the middle of that battle before.
Then, Fie was just about to leave with Darten as well when Krune asked Darten to stay. Feifei smiled as she brought Fie away, leaving only the two behind. Darten, of course, was a little surprised by that. Still, he complied.
"Tell me, how is your father?"
Darten's expression then turned a little gloomy as he said.
"Father passed away 17 years after you met him. He wasn't a cultivator, so his lifespan wasn't big to start with."
Krune's face also turned sad as he remembered the man who introduced him to the cooking world.
"Well, that's how things are."
After that, Krune entered the main topic. Obviously, it was his daughter, Fie.
