Is that a Wisp?

Krune then spent the next few days forging the Purple Flame Staff for Lani. To make sure things would go well, he also asked Lani to accompany the process to test it as Krune worked on it. Finally, Krune was able to forge a Purple Flame Staff at the Divinity Stars Level. With the Purple Flame's effect, the staff was much better than any peak Divinity Stars Equipment available, including Lani's old one.

Lani also decided to test Krune's skills in a secret Dimensional Realm. However, he didn't lock Krune's Elements as Lucio did. Because of that, Krune won the fight without that much difficulty. Of course, he didn't use his Purple Tribulation Lightning in the battle.

"Phew... You really reached a ridiculous level, Krune. Even though I'm five stages above you in cultivation, I could barely hold on my own."

Krune smiled after hearing that.

"I have one extra Meridian in the Myriad Energies Technique. Besides, they have all evolved to the Godly Meridians level. Grandmaster Lani will pass through the same process once you succeed ascending."

After they were done with it, Krune went out and met with Feifei.

"Are you done?"

Krune nodded.

"Yep. We can leave anytime. What about the others?"

"Fie and Darten went back to Makui Planet to visit a few of their friends there. As for Tuan and Asla, they went together with Fie. As you already know, Tiane, Ruik, and Liriu went to the Wisp Country that Lakin had been managing so far. In the end, only the two of us remained."

Krune smiled as he held Feifei's hand.

"Then let's see what Wally wants from me."

Feifei nodded.

"Sure."

Krune then bid his Master and Grandmaster farewell before finally leaving the Divine Path Sect. Once outside the Planet, Krune opened a Spatial Gate where he and Feifei entered.

Somewhere else, who knows how many galaxies away, an inhabited dead planet orbited a white dwarf. Fortunately, it was far enough for the gravity to not damage the planet itself. Close to the core of that planet, there was a hidden chamber that no one knew existed.

Suddenly, a Spatial Gate appeared inside that chamber. Just a moment later, Feifei and Krune stepped out. Krune didn't know about this place, of course. It was after he contacted Wally that he gave Krune the exact location. Krune quickly scanned his surroundings with Feifei.

The chamber was enormous, no less than a few hundred kilometers in diameter. At the very center, there was also a massive formation. It didn't take Krune and Feifei too long to find Wally floating inside that. However, the ethereal flames of his body seemed to be frozen, not moving at all.

Of course, that wasn't really the case. The couple knew that Wally was living inside a Time Slowing Formation. That formation reduced the flow of time by at least a few thousand times. Naturally, anyone seeing it from outside would feel like Wally was not moving at all.

However, that wasn't a problem when Divine Senses were included. After all, the entire content of the message could be passed in one go.

'Oh! Here you are. I know that I said you could take your time, but you really made me wait, no?'

Krune and Feifei's mouth twitched. Wally's time is moving so slowly that he probably only experienced a few hours at most since he talked to them back in Dalin.

'Ahem... Anyway, I'm here now, right? So, what is it that you needed to talk with me?'

Wally then began to explain.

'It's about the gods in the Higher Realms. Did Luvile already explain to you what happened back then? Why they were almost all killed?'

Krune nodded.

'Yes.'

Wally then continued.

'Good. Then I need to tell you something that they didn't know. To leave the Four Realm, you will need a few keys. I just s-'

Krune and Feifei looked at each other with weird expressions as Wally began to explain the things from the past. Well, Krune couldn't blame Wally. After all, he still didn't have a chance to tell Wally what happened while he was in the Godly Path Realm.

Krune then asked Feifei on his side.

'Didn't you tell him what I told you through the Small Tower we used for communication?'

Feifei shook her head.

'How could I? He basically disappeared during all the time you had been out. Cinty also insisted that we could only contact him if there was an emergency, so I couldn't tell him anything.'

Krune sighed and finally cut Wally's story.

'Errr... Senior Wally, we already know all of that.'

'Alright, but let me finis-'

'...'

'What did you say?'

'We already know all of that, including the part that you had one of the four keys.'

Wally was taken aback by that.

'How? Luvile and the other gods in the past shouldn't know about it. The actual Gods only found about it recently. That's why they decided to try it again.'

Krune scratched the back of his head before compiling the full storyline of his adventures for Wally to check. Wally then received that massive pile of information, which took him quite some time to organize them all in his head. Finally, he understood what was happening.

'Not only you knew about the keys, you even found many more secrets than we had so far. Kun-Peng race, betrayal, Zule, the location of the last two keys, the Primordial Demon Beasts, a reason for our Four Realms' creation. To think that so many things happened back when the Four Realms were created.'

Wally then went silent for a moment. Of course, this moment was extremely fast for Krune and Feifei since they were outside the Time Slowing Formation.

'I understand. You were correct. I had one of the Keys. However, I traded it for the Wisps' safety. It's because of that that the Wisp Hunt didn't happen even after the Myriad Wisps Technique appeared.'

Krune nodded.

'That's not a problem. The problem is that the gods shouldn't try to open the exit without all the keys. Otherwise, they might damage or even destroy the Four Realms' Foundation. That would definitely bring doom to all of us.'

Wally nodded.

'I had a few ideas on how to help stop them. However, it doesn't seem necessary anymore.'
