Chapter 420 Duties
The others also had the same question in their minds. Since Krune left her be, why exactly would she come with them? That made no sense.
Wamie then pointed at Fie.
"Her!"
Krune and Feifei looked puzzled at Fie. Is there something with their daughter? They can\'t see anything wrong, though.
"What about Fie?"
Gilia finally understood what was happening.
"Wamie, stop with your nonsense. We need to go back and discuss what happened."
Wamie shook her head.
"There is no need. Since it came to this, I will follow Krune\'s group too."
Wamie then looked at Feifei and Krune and said.
"I will even help with whatever you need, so let me hug her!"
Except for Gilia, everyone else looked strange at Wamie Zark.
Krune looked at Feifei and sent her a Divine Sense message.
"Is it another humans\' habit?"
Feifei felt like kicking him!
"Habit your head!"
Gilia noticed that Krune\'s group had the wrong idea and then explained through a Divine Sense.
"Don\'t mind her, she just like kids. But it is not like she is a pervert or anything like that. She is totally harmless. Well, it\'s not like you would let your enemy hold yo-"
"Here."
Feifei then passed Fie for Wamie to hold a little.
Gilia almost vomited blood!
\'We are your enemies, you know? Where are your priorities? How could you pass your child to her that easily? Is she really your child?\'
Of course, Gilia knows that Wamie would most likely kill herself before harming a kid, let alone one as cute as Fie. Gilia still doesn\'t know that Krune has Wamie\'s Soul Slive, so she wouldn\'t be able to do anything even if she wanted to. Besides, it is not like Feifei doesn\'t understand Wamie\'s feelings. Her child is just too cute! Since there was no danger, she was compelled to share Fie\'s cuteness with the world!
As for Krune, he trusts Feifei. If it is okay for her, then it is okay for him too.
Wamie eyes lit up and hugged Fie tightly. It was as if she found the greatest treasure in the Universe!
Well, Fie is, in fact, even rarer than any treasure out there. After all, it is easier to find Peak Divinity Stars Weapons than finding another hybrid of human and wisp. As for one with rainbow-like features? Fie is the only one!
Fie, of course, was lost with all of that.
"Mom, why do I need to do this?"
Feifei just laughed, and a few minutes later, she took Fie back to her embrace.
"Alright. I can understand how you felt after looking at my Fie. But now that you got what you want, there is no need for you to follow us anymore."
Only now did Krune and the others understood why Feifei allowed Wamie to hug Fie. She didn\'t want Wamie to simply follow them because of that reason. Now they can all part ways here.
Feifei, Krune, and the others started to make their way to the Long Distance Teleport Formation.
Wamie saw that and then turned back, which made Gilia let out a sigh of relief.
\'Finally, we are going away. There will be a lot more chances in the future. We can think about a way to get those two Heavenly Fragments later.\'
But contrary to her expectations, Wamie stopped in front of the helpers that they had contracted and passed them several Spatial Rings.
"Those are all the payment for the services that we agreed beforehand. You can all go away. From now on, our contracts are finished."
The cultivator and demon beasts were also surprised by that. But they didn\'t say anything and immediately departed. They were here for a single reason, to keep their part of the contract. Since the contractor ended it herself before the specified time and even paid them in full, there is no need for them to complain. If anything, they are happy to have been released earlier.
Gilia, on the other hand, wanted to cry already. It was her who worked hard to gather those guys, and now Wamie let them go just like that!
She looked at Wamie and asked.
"Care to explain?"
Wamie sighed and then said
"I will do it on the way, let\'s catch them up."
Before Gilia could even answer, Wamie had already carried her away.
Krune and his group soon arrived at the Teleport Formation.
It would take some time until the next activation, so they had to wait. But a few minutes later, Wamie also appeared there. Once again, Krune and the others looked puzzled at her.
Wamie then looked at Krune and Feifei.
"Cough, cough. Sorry for my behavior earlier. It is just that I have always liked kids. During these ten years in Dalin, Gilia had been pestering me to cultivate, so I hardly interacted with any. When I saw your kid, I just couldn\'t hold myself. She is just too cute."
Feifei was very satisfied with that statement.
"Anyway, I came here to ask something else. I now believe that you two really don\'t want to take the Heavenly Fragments. After all, you had to right to take it from me back in the arena, but you didn\'t. So I want to ask what exactly your plans are? If you go back to Luvile Universe now, the Darkness and Extreme Yin yang Palace would definitely extend an Olive Branch to you two."
Krune snorted.
"They would extend an Olive branch, but that is in case we are willing to take each other\'s fragment. After all, they need a complete Heavenly Divine Soul, which obviously won\'t happen. As for our plans, we don\'t intend to go back before we are strong enough to fend for ourselves."
Wamie narrowed her eyes.
"What about the Dalin Universe Cultivation Limit? Once you reach the Divine Path Realm, you must leave or join one of the inside powers. Could it be that you pretend to join one of them?"
Krune and the others shook their heads.
"We have our own ways."
Krune then thought inwardly.
\'Besides, by the time we are strong enough, all the Universes will be a lot more worried about the Wisps\' cultivations. The Heavenly Divine Soul will be the last of their problems.\'
The Myriad Wisps Techquine Spreading plan was working exceptionally well. Cinty had sent quite a few batches of trustworthy Wisps outside Dalin Universe. Once they arrived outside, they once again separated and entered other Universes where they would start to spread the technique to other wisps.
It was then that Krune thought about something.
"Also, the Heavenly Competition starts 50 years after the discovery of the First Heavenly Fragment, right? As long as the time limit passes, why should we care? Once the Sacred Lands lose the chance to enter, it will matter little whether we have Heavenly Fragments or not."
Wamie Zark was taken aback by that statement.
"I see... You two are part of the Wang Clan and Divine Path Sect, so you obviously don\'t know it."
Those words immediately caught Krune\'s group attention.
"What are you talking about?"
Wamie then explained.
"Sure, the Heavenly Competition is the priority at the moment. After all, even though the chances are low, it means gaining the opportunity of being one of the Universes controlling Dalin. But that is far from what a Heavenly Soul Owner means for a Universe. At this point, you probably already know that the Heavenly Soul Owner is usually the strongest cultivator or demon beast of a Universe. With that title, several other duties follow."
"Duties?"
Wamie nodded.
"The Heavenly Soul Owner will be responsible for representing the Universe in all kinds of events and disputes between the Universes. There are several times when some dispute is resolved in a battle between two Heavenly Soul Owners, preventing the occurrence of war. The Luvile Universe is no different. Once an Owner reaches the Divinity Realm, he or she would generally stop cultivating at the 1st Stage. That way, the only cultivation they get is the natural accumulation that can\'t be prevented."
Krune understood where she was coming from.
"I see... If you enter the Divinity Realm and don\'t cultivate, it will take an absurd amount of time for the natural accumulation of energy to bring you to the Peak of that Realm. My Grandmaster is already a 9th Stage Divinity Realm cultivator, but he is already over 100 thousand years old. As far as I know, he cultivated all the way to that level."
Krune continued.
"Considering that he took at least this amount of time to reach the 9th Stage while cultivating, then someone who stops and only leaves the natural accumulation will take several Chaos Cycles! He or she will be able to represent their Universe during all this time, am I correct?"
Wamie nodded.
"Yes, That is just how vital a Heavenly Soul Owner is for a Universe. Without one, several disputes between Universes will need to be fought with other cultivators or demon beasts. But their chance of winning against such odds are bleak. In the worst case, it could lead to war."
Krune then thought about another possibility.
"Wait! Is it because the Heavenly Divine Soul Owners live this much that the next Heavenly Fragments take so long to appear? I mean, a Universe can only have a single Heavenly Divine Soul each time. So if they don\'t ascend or die, the next Heavenly Fragments can\'t appear."
Krune continued his train of thought.
"No, that is not that simple. All Heavenly Divine Soul Owners from all the Universes must be gone. Not a single one can be alive or not ascended. After all, the Heavenly Fragments of all Universes start to appear at the same time. That means that as long as a single Universe still has a Heavenly Fragment Owner, the next Fragments will not appear doesn\'t matter what, right? That also determines how long a Heavenly Competition takes to take place."
Wamie was impressed with Krune. His entire conjecture was right on point!
"Indeed, it is exactly as you thought. All the Universes are connected to each other in some way that they know when all Heavenly Divine Souls have finally disappeared. We don\'t know how it happens, though."
Wamie then added one last piece.
"It has been happening like this for thousands of Chaos Cycles. Usually, it takes the Heavenly Divine Soul Owners around 12 Chaos Cycles to be forced into the Ascension Tribulation. Of course, as long as they don\'t die before that."
Feifei heard that and couldn\'t help but comment.
"Seems like that representing their Universe isn\'t the only reason. It is evident that a lot of them are also afraid of dying to the Ascension Tribulation."
Wamie nodded.
"I can\'t deny that. From what the All Life Sect elders told me, the Heavenly Soul Owner Ascension Tribulation is even more terrifying than the other cultivators and demon beasts. It seems like their chance of succeeding is also smaller than the rest."
Krune laughed after hearing that.
"If before I didn\'t want the Heavenly Divine Soul, now I don\'t want to get even close to it."
