Light Spirit and Krune were surprised and confused at the same time. They focused their attention on that part of Krune's Universe Foundation. Finally, they found a small black energy ball floating there. However, both Krune and Light Spirit couldn't recognize that energy. After taking a better look, they noticed that it was a tiny tower, no bigger than a finger, that was releasing that energy.
"Feifei, is that you?"
Back on the Wisp Main World, Feifei was also delighted to hear Krune's voice.
"So you can really hear me! Great! I'm in the Wisp Main World, and senior Wally is here too."
Feifei reluctantly passed the small tower device, which released white-colored energy, to Wally. If one looked at them together, they would see that the two small towers were identical except for their colors. While Krune's one was black, Wally's one was white.
"So, how is it? Do you like the Godly Path Realm?"
Krune felt like crying.
"Like your head! Why did you send us here? Did you forget my cultivation realm? if not be-"
Wally cut Krune right there.
"Because of the Elemental and Chaos Meridians, right?"
Krune was taken aback.
"Uh? You knew?"
Wally nodded and shook his head right after.
"It was just wild speculation. I wasn't sure if such a thing would happen or not. Worst of all, I had no way to confirm it either since I couldn't go back to the Higher Realms. But who could have thought that your fight with Iem Turo opened a 'clandestine' passage to the Higher Realms? I couldn't let the chance pass and immediately sent you two inside."
Krune's mouth twitched.
"Then, you weren't sure? Isn't that the same as trying to kill me?"
Wally laughed out loud after hearing it.
"Don't worry, if it really didn't work, I would bring you back from there."
This time, both Krune and Luvile were taken aback.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Is this about your ability to descend into the Lower Realms without paying any price?" Luvile asked.
Wally didn't try to deny.
"Correct. It's just that I would probably die after bringing you back. Fortunately, there was no need for that."
Everyone looked at Wally. Just what could be this method of descending into the Lower Realms without paying any price? If there were no price, why would he die?
"Anyway, forget it for now. I sent you up there because that would be the best place for you to train yourself. Once you get strong enough, you can open a passage and come down like everyone else. I will leave this small tower with Feifei so that you can talk now and then."
Krune wasn't satisfied, though.
"I didn't need it! I could totally cultivate until I reached the Peak of the Divinity Realm while in the Lower Realms. Once I ascended, I would be able to test this thing anyway, no?"
Wally, however, shook his head.
"And what if you died for the Ascencion Tribulation? Or what if you died before that because of something else?"
Krune didn't step back.
"Even if that was the case, there would be others who have the Myriad Energies Technique who could try it later. Feifei, Fie, Liriu, Ruik, Tiane, Laex, and another big bunch of friends that I made in the past. The point is, you shouldn't have sent me without considering my opinion first."
Feifei and the others in the room nodded. Krune had a point in there.
"Then, I will apologize. But I really didn't want to waste such a big opportunity for both you and me. I'll owe you one once you are back."
In the end, Krune could only sigh. At the very least, Wally didn't have evil intentions.
"Whatever, what is done is done. Complaining more won't change the fact that I can't go back. At least not unless you sacrifice yourself to bring me. By the way, what is this thing about dying to pull me back into the Lower Realms?"
Wally shook his head.
"I can't tell you about it now. It involves a lot of secrets that I would rather bring with me to my tomb. You can imagine what might happen if others found a way to descend into the Lower Realms without paying any price."
"But wouldn't you die if you did that? How come there is no price?"
Wally then explained.
"It is different. There is no price if I use it myself. But to bring someone who isn't in the same realm is another story altogether. There were a lot more factors involved in such an attempt. There is also the fact that you are only in the Divine Path Realm. As you can imagine, the lower the cultivation, the easier it is to ignore the laws that control the passage between realms."
Krune and Luvile agreed with wally.
"What about the Heavenly Competition? What happened?"
Feifei took the small tower from Wally before explaining.
"Everything turned out fine. Luvile Universe has got one of the Dalin Slots. It is still too early, so it will take quite a few more days before the transfer is done. Wally also told me that you appointed your Grandmaster as the head management. Is that true?"
Krune's Grandmaster, Lani Gobel, is a peak Divinity Realm cultivator and one of the ancestors of the Divine Path Sect.
"Yes. According to the Heavenly Competition's Rules, the winners have the authority to select which power of their Universe will be responsible for the Dalin Universe management. I already talked with Erzato as well, and he accepted it on behalf of the Sacred Lands."
Wally understood why.
"That makes sense. None of the Sacred Lands of the Luvile Universe would allow the others to manage it. In the end, it would only bring problems. In that case, they might as well leave it for the Divine Path Realm since it is a tiny force that can't be compared to them. Besides, the position in the Management Chair is more like a symbolic one. Everyone in the Luvile Universe will have the right to enter the Dalin Universe as long as they can open the passage. So it makes little difference for the Sacred Lands to leave this chair for your Grandmaster."
Krune agreed with Wally.
"Exactly. Anyway, you just need to leave it for my Grandmaster to take care of."
Feifei then continued.
"Your Grandmaster and a few representatives of the Sacred Lands and other powers will arrive in the Dalin Universe anytime soon. They will discuss all the rules that our Universe has to abide by. I believe it will take at least a month before the proper channels to enter Dalin are ready."
Krune couldn't help but ask.
"Are you going back to Luvile Universe?"
Feifei shook her head.
"It's too risky. I'm too weak and have too many Heavenly Fragments with me. Even if Luvile Universe has got the Dalin Universe Slot, they don't have a Heavenly Divine Soul Owner. It isn't hard to imagine that the remaining Heavenly Fragment owners also want my ones. I'd rather wait until I'm strong enough to defend myself."
Krune agreed with Feifei.
"That's good. If anything, you can simply call your parents to the Wisp Main World if you wish to see each other. With their level, it would be easy to visit you there."
Ruik then intervened.
"Tiane and I are going back, though. I want to talk with lakin and everyone there. Since we don't have Heavenly Fragments, it won't be much of a difference for us."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKrune pondered a bit and had to admit that Ruik was right.
Krune had many more things to talk about, but suddenly, his small black tower's energy began to dim out.
"What?! Is it broken?"
Wally just laughed, though.
"Don't worry, it is just running out of energy. All you need to do is feed it with Godly Energy for a month, and you will be able to contact us on this side again."
Krune then thought about something.
"Now I know how you kept contact with Sentoi in the Higher Realms."
Feifei and Fie then wished Krune good luck there and ended the connection. The energy that was coming out of the small black tower then disappeared. It now looked like a simple piece of chess, devoid of any power. Krune pondered a bit and moved his Godly Meridians close to the tower. Right after, he delivered the outside World's Godly Energy to it. Sure enough, it began to frantically absorb it.
"Well, I can only keep feeding it. There were a lot more things I wanted to ask, especially about the Godly Meridians. Anyway, I can do that next time."
Luvile agreed with him.
"As long as you have a way to communicate, you won't need to get too worried. You can now focus on your task ahead, which is going back to the Lower Realms."
Krune then returned to his human form and looked around. Soon, he noticed Iem Turo in the distance. He was still in his crystallization form while several black flames came out of his body. However, Krune could tell that those black flames seemed to be losing their effect.
'Is he running out of energy?'
If Krune could feel that, then let alone Luvile, who was at the Devil Flame God's level. In the end, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hey, Harold, do you need the all mighty Purple Tribulation Lightning God's help? If you ask it gently, I might spend a little bit of my power 'Superior Power' giving you a hand."
Harold almost vomited blood.
"Fuck you! Who needs your help?!"
Luvile didn't mind, though.
"Is that so, then if you excuse us."
Krune didn't care much about Iem or Harold, so he also turned around preparing to leave. However...
"Wait!"
Krune and Luvile heard Harold's voice again.
"Cough, cough... Let's not be too harsh. We are both gods, right? What about you give me a hand for old time's sake?"
Luvile couldn't remember the last time he felt so pleased like this. Sure enough, he could only feel a sense of accomplishment when experts of the same level were involved.
