Is that a Wisp? Chapter 692: Befriending Laws

“Revenge?”

Zule nodded.

“That’s the strongest memory present in my past, and also in the other ‘Zule’ I just absorbed. We both wished for revenge more than anything else.”

Luvile was puzzled after hearing that.

“But what does this revenge have to do with us? Let them have it. There is no need for us to get involved.”

Zule shook his head.

“Terrible idea. I don’t know why Kun-Peng wants revenge, nor who he wants revenge against. However, part of the revenge consists of destroying all the Realms.” 

Krune’s group were shocked to hear such a thing.

“Are you sure? First of all, can Kun-Peng really destroy all the Realms?”

Harold was the one to answer that question.

“This is just what I think. But if the power of the Primordial Demon Beasts are really as the records describe, it just might be possible.”

Zule nodded after hearing that.

“I can’t really be sure of how strong I was, but Kun-Peng was definitely stronger than anyone in the Godly Path Realm. In fact, I doubt anyone in the God Realm could pose a threat to Kun-Peng at its peak either.”

Zule then continued.

“Still, there is one thing we can infer from this piece of memory.”

Krune understood where Zule was coming from.

“Indeed. Part of the Kun-Peng’s revenge is to destroy the Realms. That being said, he is connected to the beings who originated from our Realm in the first place. This is just a theory, but I believe our Realms came to be because of the Primordial Demon Beasts. Luvile, I also believe that this is part of the information that you don’t want to talk about, correct?”

Luvile sighed but agreed with Krune in the end.

“That’s true.”

Krune smiled and then continued.

“Now I understand what you meant by ‘coming from the outside.’ Finally, things are starting to make some sense.”

Krune began to understand a little about the overall situation. Not only about Zule, but about what happened to Luvile and Harold in the past. Still, he decided that he would talk about it with Luvile later.

“Anyway, now we know about Kun-Peng’s real power and its connection to the creation of all realms. There is also a big chance that he was involved in their creations directly. After all, Kun-Peng’s Space-Related powers are simply above anyone in all realms… or so you guys say.”

“Now, the question is, can THIS Kun-Peng really recover from its injuries and do what Zule said?”

Zule shook his head once more.

“Hard to say. However, if a Soul Fragment can recover and absorb the rest, there is a big chance that it will regain control over its body. Even if it is injured to this extent, there is no doubt about the power that it can muster. Also, that is considering that it can’t recover after.”

Iem narrowed his eyes.

“And what will you do if you absorb all of them?”

Obviously, Iem was afraid that Zule might attack them once he finishes absorbing everything. If a single Fragment could already control Kun-Peng’s power to that extent, what will Zule be able to do once he absorbs all the others? Iem was not wrong in being suspicious.

Zule smiled after hearing Iem speak.

“I don’t know. At the very least, I have no intention of destroying anything. That was Kun-Peng’s desire, not mine. I told you before, I’m not Kun-Peng anymore.”

Krune intervened.

“Let’s stop it here. We have been with Zule for quite some time, so let’s give him a vote of confidence. I don’t think he intends to turn his back on us. I might as well tell you that the connection between his Space Heavenly Fragment and my own fragments is still there. Somehow, I can tell that this is still the same Zule as always.”

Iem sighed in the end.

“Alright, then let’s see how things go.”

Although Krune was happy that Iem trusted him that quickly, he couldn’t help but ask.

“You accepted my opinion on such a dangerous thing quite hastily, don’t you think?”

Krune was prepared to go into a long-term argument with Iem until he finally convinced him. Iem giving up that fast was out of his expectations.

Iem shrugged his shoulders in response though.

“After all these years, every time you told me to believe someone, you were always right. I don’t know what it is, but you seem to have some special ability to always befriend those who are really worth doing so.”

It was then that Iem thought about something.

“Ah! Don’t others say that there are always two sides to each coin? Perhaps, that’s heaven’s compensation for your high comprehension of the Calamity Laws. It’s the omnipotent Befriending Laws!”

Krune’s mouth twitched.

“How many times I have to say that I’m not comprehending anything called Calamity Laws?

…

But I do like the sound of Befriending Laws, though.”

Iem laughed out loud.

“Hahaha! Right?!”

Dudo and Mala looked at Iem, who started to laugh for no reason and got confused. Still, they simply ignored it in the end. If he was laughing, it was probably nothing important.

Zule sighed in relief. At least, they still trust him. He was also afraid that they might think he was trying to pull their leg to help take the other Soul Fragments. It would be a lie if he said he didn’t want to. After all, he also wanted to know more about the past as much as Luvile and Harold do. However, it wasn’t a lie that he was also doing it to prevent a calamity in the Four Realms. The Revenge Memory is definitely not something he invented. The problem was that there was really no way to tell Krune and the others about it without making them suspicious of him.

Krune then asked Zule.

“Do you know the best path to reach the place with those Soul Fragments?”

Zule pondered a bit and nodded.

“Yes, follow the path I’ll tell you from now on.”

Krune nodded and began to follow Zule’s instructions. Dudo, Mala, and Iem followed right behind him as well.

Back on Franlia’s side, she had been following the Meridian’s Godly Energy the same way as Krune’s group did in the past. However, the fact was that the Injury she used to find the Meridians was a lot further away. It was at least four times further than the teleportation formation Krune and the other used in the past.

Fortunately, all meridians always ended in the dantian or demon beast. That being said, Franlia knew she would arrive there sooner or later. On top of that, she was a lot faster than Krune and his group. 

All of a sudden, the Godly Energy concentration began to increase.

“It’s just as Jimage described. The Silver Core is close. Let’s increase the pace!”

The God Foundation Realm experts accepted the order before using their Godly Energy to grab all those at the Mortal Rejection Realm and below. Soon after, they increased their speed together with Franlia. Sure enough, Franlia wasn’t wrong.

“Here we are!”

In front of them, a gigantic Silver Core with cracks everywhere appeared. Just like in the past, they could see the clusters that usually held Godly Stones. Well, Krune and Foltan’s group took all the Top Quality Godly Stones in the past, so there was nothing substantial now. It would take some time until those clusters can produce more of them.

“Hahaha! Look who’s here. If it isn’t Sect Master Franlia and Tosely.”

Franlia and Tosely narrowed their eyes in response to those words before looking in the direction of one of the Meridians Entrances. Surprisingly, the first one to arrive at the Silver Core was Aragan, the Three Peaks Sect Master, and a Pure-Blooded Earth-Dragon.

“That’s pretty unexpected. Sect Master Aragan is more proficient in defense and strength than speed. I didn’t think I would lose to you in this race.”

Aragan smiled after hearing that.

“Sect Master Franlia overestimates me too much. I was just lucky to find a shortcut, that’s all.”

Of course, Franlia didn’t believe his words that easily.

“Anyway, I believe you already sent some of your subordinates to call those leaders of the Celestial Organizations, right?”

Aragan nodded.

“But of course. However, it has only been a few minutes since I did so. Sect Master Franlia might as well send some from your side too. Who knows? Perhaps they can find the Celestial Organizations first.”

Franlia snorted after hearing that. The Planet inside the Foundation Space has very scarce Godly Energy. That means one’s Divine Sense can go several times further. As long as Aragan sent a God Foundation Realm expert inside, he could use his Divine Sense to find the Celestial Organizations in a second. Still, she had to send someone to prevent Aragan from making some early deals without her knowing.

“Volsen, you go. You know what to do.”

Volsen was a 6th Stage God Foundation Realm elder of the Sky Shifting Sect.

“Yes, Sect Master.”

Volsen immediately dashed forward and entered one of the Silver Cores. He had to be fast. After all, the time inside the Silver Core ran ten times faster.

Volsen quickly disappeared in the Silver Core as Franlia and Aragan continued to wait.

Around 30 minutes later, another group came out of another Meridian Passage. As one can imagine, that was Binmia and her group. She was already feeling gloomy that ‘Zule’ had escaped. Let alone now that she found out that she was the last one to arrive.

However, just as she was going to send someone inside as well, one of the Cracks on the Silver Core began to shine.
