Is That A Wisp?

Krune and Iem ended flying in the same direction as a few other members. However, as the number of passages to choose from increased, the numbers around them decreased. The two of them made sure to see in which direction Pharan and Foltan went to as well. That's because they were the only ones that Krune and Iem were no match. Now and then, they heard explosions coming from behind, showing that the God Crystal caught up to some other members.

Krune and Iem had the advantage in speed compared to the Semi-Divinity Realm ones. Obviously, they got further away faster than the others. However, Krune and Iem soon noticed that the Silver Blood on the ground began to increase. One must remember that the room where the God Crystal was present was a lot deeper. The outside silver blood on the floor was much more shallow. However, the amount is increasing overtime now.

"Soon, there will be enough Silver Blood to give birth to those Space Creatures as well."

Krune nodded.

"I know. However, the amount of silver blood also determines the Space Creatures' strength. When I was guiding Xalana to destroy the Silver Lights, I was also checking the power of the creatures that came out of them. The higher the concentration, the stronger the creatures that were formed by it. Also, the stronger they were, the longer they took to form."

Iem understood what Krune meant.

"So you are saying that the first creatures that we will find ahead are the weakest ones. But the further we go, the stronger they will be unless the amount of silver blood doesn't increase."

Krune nodded once more.

"Correct. However, we shouldn't follow the blood vessels. Everyone in our group already knows about the meridians. However, Pharan and Foltan's group were right behind us, so we couldn't search for them. Now that everyone went on separate ways, there will be no one that prevents us from finding it."

Iem pondered a bit before saying.

"However, considering the distance we traveled already, weren't we supposed to have seen a meridian passage already? After all, be it humans or demon beasts, both have over hundreds of meridians in their body."

Krune agreed with Iem.

"We did. We passed by two meridians before. One of them was when all the groups were together, so we couldn't enter it without being followed. The second one was when we were fleeing just now. I noticed that it was very close to the place where we fought the space creatures. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to enter it since it was behind the blood vessel's wall. Stopping to open the passage would definitely invite that God Crystal over, so I could only give up."

Iem couldn't help but feel more and more impressed by Krune's special scanning ability. He knew it existed, but Krune had never told him about what it was. All he knew was that Krune could see things way further than him. Well, the one who invented it wasn't Krune, though.

"That's great! Now then, what should we do?"

Krune pondered a bit. They had moved pretty far, which was also impressive since it showed how enormous this body was. 

"We have the Vibrant Beads. Do you think we should gather with the others?"

It was at this moment that Iem and Krune heard Zule's voice.

"No, we should go back and take the God Crystal."

"What?!"

Krune and Iem were taken aback by Zule's idea.

"Are you crazy? Didn't you see how powerful that thing was? Even Jimage, Pharan, and Foltan together wouldn't be its match."

Iem agreed with Krune.

"I think it would be easier to survive against those three Peak Divinity Realm guys than against that thing. I definitely am not going back to throw my life away."

Zule's projection then appeared outside Krune's Spatial Ring and shook his head.

"Don't worry, the sentience inside the God Crystal should be on the verge of extinguishing. Well, it wasn't actually sentience since it didn't really have intelligence to start with. Maybe 'pseudo-sentience' would be better."

Krune and Iem got confused.

"What do you mean?"

Zule looked in the direction they came from before explaining.

"I thought it to be weird. God Crystals were not supposed to be moving alone. However, it took me this long to understand what was happening. The God Crystal could indeed move now, but the 'pseudo-sentience' inside that allowed the movement can't resist God Crystal's power for too long. Only after I thought about it, I understood. That 'pseudo-sentience' wasn't there before. I'm at least 95% sure that that 'pseudo-conscience' was born in the God Crystal after we entered the room."

"Ah!"

Krune suddenly thought about a possibility.

"I see! When we entered that space, those Silver Light spots were not there before."

Iem then asked.

"Are you talking about those agglomerations of Space Laws that gave birth to the Space Creatures?"

Krune nodded.

"Yes. Did you forget? I have my detection ability. However, those Silver Lights appeared only after the membrane behind us closed. That means that they weren't there before. If I'm not wrong, Zule is talking about those silver lights exactly."

Zule smiled before nodding his little head.

"Correct! At that moment, I didn't pay attention to it due to the situation. Still, I did feel a similar power to those Silver Lights appearing inside the Space God Crystal. Don't forget, I'm a Space Heavenly Fragment Sentience, and I'm inside a Space Type Treasure. I'm confident that even Nascent God Realm cultivators and Demon beasts aren't as perceptive about Space Laws as I am."

"Now that I had enough time to think about it, that Space God Crystal was connected to the Silver Blood and this enormous body at the same time, absorbing their power. I'm talking about those tube-like things attached to the Crystal itself. Not to mention that the Crystal was attached to the 'wall' as well. It was because of those connections that one of those agglomerations of Space Laws, or Silver Light, appeared inside the God Crystal. However, the God Crystal has separated itself from the Silver Blood and the wall to pursue us. That being said, the 'pseudo-sentience' can't sustain itself for long."

Krune understood what it meant.

"Indeed. Those agglomerations only appeared inside the Silver Blood. There wasn't a single one outside it."

Iem couldn't help but ask, though.

"Can't the God Crystal simply dive into the Silver Blood? Like that, it will be able to continue absorbing the Silver Blood's power."

Zule shook his head.

"It isn't that simple. Simply diving into the blood isn't the same as when it was connected to the body itself. Do you remember how the entire room trembled as the God Crystal broke all connections to the wall and the tubes? That's how deeply connected it was to this ridiculous giant body. At most, the 'pseudo-sentience' inside the God Crystal can slow down its deterioration by diving into the Silver Blood. However, it definitely can't stop it."

"Why?"

"Because the power of the God Crystal is too big. The God Crystal is a Space Type one, and so is the Silver Light that gives birth to the Space Creatures. However, their 'pureness' difference in Space Laws is like the difference between Heaven and Earth. They simply can't be compared. If that Silver Light could exist for a few Chaos Cycles, then it might be able to do that. Still, as I said, it was born just a few moments after we entered the room. I'm absolutely sure it will be destroyed by the God Crystal's power itself."

Krune then asked.

"You said before that you were 95% sure. What about the other 5%?"

Zule shrugged his shoulder.

"That is in case it can connect itself with this body once more. If it does that, then the Silver Light inside can resist the God Crystal's power. But then again, if it really does that, it won't be able to pursue us. However, I find it extremely unlikely. After all, it would need to be intelligent enough to think about it. Do you think that it had any intelligence whatsoever?"

Krune and Iem immediately shook their heads. As soon as they saw the God Crystal attacking, they noticed it only knew how to release explosions of Godly Energy and Space Laws. It was basically discharging all the power in a very brute way.

Iem nodded in the end.

"Alright, I don't mind going back to help. However, what will I gain from it? After all, we will still need to fight the Space Creatures. Although the Space Creatures scattered everywhere in pursuit of the others, some definitely fell behind with the God Crystal. The worst-case will be if we encounter one of those Space Creatures that could fight Jimage, Pharan, and Foltan. Those things can fight at the peak of the Divinity Realm."

Krune pondered a bit.

"I do have a few Fire Crystals from back in the Mortal Realm."

Krune had acquired those fire crystals when he entered the Elemental Path Realm. He used a few to buy a few things, but he still has some left.

"Fire Crystals? What will I use it for? Laws? I'm a Heavenly Race member and a Heavenly Divine Soul Owner. I don't need these Crystal's help to comprehend laws. Besides, I'm already very close to understanding the entire Major Law of Fire."

"What about my Purple Flame Equipments? Is there anything you want?"

Iem shook his head.

"I rely a lot more on my Crystallization Ability than any weapon, so your Purple Flame Equipments are useless for me."

"Then, what you want?"

Iem smiled before pointing at Krune.

"The special method that you use to scan things further and clearer than Divine Sense."

Obviously, Iem was referring to Heavin's Soul Cultivation Technique that could give birth to Mental Energy."
