Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 1410 Pestlor Returns

"Here…" Dulan-G said as he handed over an identity card to Krune. "Are you sure you wish to live by the name of Pestlor?"

"Yeah, that was what I've been named anyway. Might as well just go with it," Krune said, grabbing the identity card as he walked away. "Thanks for your help. I won't be appearing here ever again."

"Y-You know…" Dulan-G said all of a sudden, watching Krune leave. "If things get hard, you can return here anytime you want."

Krune just waved his hand and left, thinking, 'I'm getting pretty good at acting, to be honest.'

The fact of the matter is, throughout this interaction, he didn't use any Mental Energy to manipulate Dulan-G. This showed that Dulan-G wholly bought his ploy through his sheer acting skills alone.

Though, despite everything, acting skills alone wouldn't have been enough. His performance should be convincing, sure, but they should incorporate truths in the matter. And that was why he was looking for a suitable candidate while scouring through their memories.

Plus, Dulan-G was the perfect candidate. After surfing through his memories, Krune created a suitable plan of action.

It was easy to set his plan in motion after that. Now that Krune had obtained an identity card and a basic level of background, he could infiltrate the ranks of the Mong Realm better.

Using Mental Energy, he was already up to speed on various things that happened in the Mong Realm, also playacting to behave no different from the people there. This way, he wouldn't raise any suspicion.

His goal was to infiltrate the Mong Realm ranks as deeply as possible while planning the seeds of disaster, or in this case, seeds of hunger.

He did that without stopping, infecting every cultivator he came across. The more that were affected, the greater the effectiveness of his plan. After all, if something began to spread gradually, even if a solution to it couldn't be created, the cause could somehow be quarantined.

Krune didn't wish for that to be the case. When he took action, he seriously wished to cripple the Mong Realm's foundation to a certain extent.

The Mong Realm was probably as big, if not bigger, than the Kun Realm. So, his actions might very well be a droplet in the ocean. However, his Hunger Law was contagious. So, as long as he infected a sizeable number in every continent he was at, it would spread like wildfire once he activated it.

'Even if I fail to obtain the key in the end, I should still ensure the Mong Realm faces a lot of headaches from this, so much so that they wouldn't be able to invade the Kun Realm for the foreseeable future.' He thought, 'That would give us enough time to prepare.'

At present, what the Kun Realm needed the most was time. They were currently working on various plans to raise the strength of the Kun Realm as a whole.

The Mountain Sect was the first of its kind, having already developed on all three paths to an exceptional extent while innovating new godly techniques that incorporate all three paths.

Soon, sects like the Mountain Sect would crop up all over the God Realm. It would cause the Kun Realm itself to usher in a new age. After all, the increase in the God Realm's strength directly raised the standards of the Kun Realm as a whole.

Moreover, the Gods of Kun Realm were also working to revive the fallen Gods or at least create plans similar to Solare.

Even though Solare wasn't the same individual as the God that had died, he was now inheriting that position. Moreover, he was born to inherit this, thanks to all the experiences that had molded him in such a manner, making him the one to inherit the God Seat.

So, as the Gods reclaimed the God Seats of all fallen Gods, they would be creating people similar to Solare to inherit them one after another. This way, with the number of Gods in the Kun Realm increasing, it would stabilize the Realm further, also raising its defenses.

Then, once it begins to grow and develop further, the chances for the Realm Spirit's birth would increase drastically.

However, everything needed time. And, the Mong Realm would definitely not give them the chance to grow stronger.

So, they would definitely interfere, just as they had done all along. That was how they stalled the Kun Realm's development.

But the Kun Realm was just too massive. So, some geniuses slipped the net of destruction caused by the Mong Realm, eventually turning into powerhouses that continued to develop the Kun Realm. But in the end, the Kun Realm's development had indeed stagnated for too long.

It was unknown when the Mong Realm had actually infiltrated the Kun Realm. Maybe at that time, the strength between both the Realms was equal. But over time, the geniuses of the Kun Realm were assassinated nonstop, while the Mong Realm expended its resources to nurture geniuses that had a wealth of experiences by also fighting experts from foreign Realms.

Eventually, it resulted in the current situation where the Mong Realm was one of the leading powers.

'Hopefully, it'll change in the future,' Krune thought as he roamed from one city to another, taking advantage of his newfound wealth and identity, using the transportation formations of the cities one after another.

He arrived in a city, infected the people, obtaining any useful information from the minds of the people there, stole one percent of their Blood Pills and then left.

After some days had passed in such a fashion, he found someone influential once again to forge a new identity, using that for the teleportation services.

In this fashion, Krune spent a year going through all the cities on this continent, finally arriving at the capital where he planned to take the teleportation service there to head towards the nearby continent.

There were still two more years before he would meet up with Sterlena and Gegrafikan. So in that time, he planned to grad a sizeable wealth and infect the people as much as he could. Thanks to the Kun Soul, he was able to sense their position and status while also being able to converse with them.

And if necessary, he could even locate them with the help of his Soul Needle easily. Thinking as such, he entered the Mercenary Guild, planning to take on a mission. After all, that was the necessary excuse to leave the continent.

It was hard to travel from one continent to another without a proper reason, after all.
