Chapter 671 - Name
Back on the Godly Path Realm, Krune passed the rest of his day doing other simple things. He cooked, played, organized his restaurant, and did other things that had nothing related to cultivation. Just like that, his day passed in a breeze.
Finally, the next one arrived as Krune closed himself once more. Of course, Luvile made sure to hide the room.
"So, are you going to absorb them now?"
Krune nodded after hearing that.
"I still have another six days before Sect Master finishes gathering the items to help Lino and Nina, so I'm basically free during this time. I will take a look at how to trade the Space God Crystal after I'm finished with it."
It was then that Zule appeared outside as well.
"Well, the stronger you are, the better it is for us. Here, take them."
Suddenly, three Heavenly Fragments appeared in mid-air. Those were the three Heavenly Fragments Zule kept with himself while Krune got his Spatial Rings verified.
"Yin, Time, and Life Heavenly Fragments. Let's start with the Yin one since I already have its counterpart."
Krune then began to absorb the Ownerless Yin Heavenly Fragment as he did with the Blackhole one. Just like before, the new Heavenly Fragment tried to resist the fusion. After all, it wasn't really a Heavenly Fragment from the Luvile Universe. However, because it did not have a Universe of its own anymore, it couldn't resist forever.
Sure enough, it finally lost its ground and began to fuse with the others. The bigger fragment that represented Krune's three ones and the smaller Yin Fragment then changed into a liquid form. After that, they mixed together. Once that was done, one couldn't tell the difference anymore except that there seemed to be more 'liquid' now. Finally, that liquid solidified once more in the form of a bigger cracked core.
As soon as that was done with, Krune felt the wave of Spiritual Energy coming into his Wisp Core. That made sense since that Yin Fragment was from the Mortal Realm, where Godly Energy didn't exist. As mentioned in the past, its previous owner's cultivation would be added to the new owner's one.
Too bad, though. First, the original owner was a lot weaker than Krune to start with. Besides, Spiritual Energy had little use for Krune now that he had Godly Energy. In the end, that Yin Heavenly Fragment was not enough for even a single Stage of Cultivation to increase.
Several hours later, Krune finished the process.
Nevertheless, Krune wasn't sad. That was not the main reason for absorbing the Heavenly Fragments, but the other perks that came with it. Now, Elements related to Yin would be easier to be controlled. Understanding their laws even more so. Not to mention that each different fragment had an impact on the power of Krune's Elemental Divine Soul too.
"Phew... done with one of them. Let's continue."
Krune then took out the Life Heavenly Fragment and restarted the process once more.
Just like that, Krune absorbed the remaining two Heavenly Fragments. The good thing was that the three of them together was still enough for him to jump into the 2nd Stage of the Semi-Divinity Realm. However, the real difference was that Krune's combat power definitely went further than just a single stage. Too bad that Krune didn't know where his limit was at the moment.
"Are you done with it?"
Krune then returned to his human form and nodded.
"Yes. How long did I spend absorbing them?"
"A day and a half. It seems like the previous owners of your fragments didn't have strong cultivations. That's why it was this fast. Anyway, now you are lacking only three Heavenly Fragments. Destiny, Space, and Death. Oh, right. You already have a Space Type one right beside you."
Zule's small projection mouth twitched.
"Fuck you! Who will be giving his Space Heavenly Fragment? As long as I'm here, you can forget about ever absorbing it. I can totally fight the fusion process as many times as I want. Hmph!"
Krune and Luvile laughed after seeing him like that.
"Alright, stop bullying him. Even if, for some reason, I got Zule's Space Fragment, I have no other way to find the Destiny and Death Fragments. We will need to see it once we are back to the Mortal Realms."
Meanwhile, in the Flower River Sect, Binmia had already noticed that Bianca was under some restrictions that impeded her from talking certain things. Still, she wasn't that much worried since she could at least tell that Bianca would be able to get rid of it once she reached the Mortal Rejection Realm.
With the Flower River Sect resources and the fact that she is the daughter of the Sect Master, that wouldn't be difficult for her. Bianca only needed time. Binmia was concerned about another thing, though. The other members of Bianca's group had returned from the expedition. Not only that, but they brought back something they found in that Demon Beast's Head. Surprisingly, it was the fragment of a broken soul!
Everyone believed that the Demon Beast was dead already. In a certain way, they were not wrong. The proof was that its foundation was already on the verge of collapse. If it was really alive, it would never let such a thing happen. Another problem was that this fragment of a soul was quite fragile. Not to mention that most of its memories were lost.
To make things easier for that Soul, Binmia found a weak body for it to possess. After all, it would be hard to communicate if it couldn't at least talk to them. A soul search was absolutely out of the question. After all, the fragment was way too damaged. Any attempt to tamper with it would most likely make it dissipate. It is already a miracle that it has survived for this long.
"So, you are saying that you can't remember where you came from or what happened to you."
Binmia put that soul inside of a dead kid's body, which was easier to take control of. The kid then nodded his head at Binmia.
"That is correct. However, I do remember I suffered a fatal injury that brought me into this state."
"What can you tell us about you?"
The kid began to ponder as if it was a very difficult question. He wasn't trying to pretend, though. The damage on his soul was severe to the point where the few pieces of memory he still had couldn't exactly be put together.
"Hum... I can remember that I was very good at Space-related things like laws. Also, I'm sure I've never heard about Godly Path or God Realm before. Of course, I can't tell if it is because I completely forgot about those two or if I came from somewhere else."
"Let me see... I seemed to have been at the Beyond Existence Realm... or something like that."
Binmia and the others looked at the kid with puzzled expressions.
"Beyond Existence? What kind of Realm is that? Does it even exist?"
No one had the answer to that question, not even the kid himself.
"Perhaps, the categorization of Realms between you and me were different. My Beyond Existence might have something to do with some of your realms too."
Binmia nodded.
"That makes more sense. However, we already reached the conclusion that you definitely came from another Realm. After all, your body back there is far more powerful than a Nascent God of our Godly Path Realm could be. If it were still alive, the Godly Path Realm would definitely have sent you to the next Realm already."
Binmia had already explained to the kid how the ascensions work.
"Indeed. You showed me your God Core Realm power and told how much stronger a Nascent God is. I have no doubt that I was several times stronger than a Nascent Soul could possibly be. Too bad that I'm in this state now."
Binmia couldn't help but ask.
"Do you want to get revenge? Or better, do you even remember who gave you that fatal injury. Oh well, that is considering if someone really attacked you to start with. Your injury might have been caused by something totally different too."
The kid nodded.
"That's true. I only know about the injury I suffered, but I can't remember how I got it. Naturally, I can't feel like getting revenge on someone."
Binmia then asked something else.
"What about your body? Can't you control it anymore?"
The kid immediately shook his head.
"I forced myself into slumber so that this fragment wouldn't disappear. However, I still remember that I tried to control my body. Unfortunately, my body was way too strong for me to control with just this fragment of a soul. If I had forced myself, I would spend the rest of the soul power that I had and disappeared."
Binmia couldn't help but feel weird.
"You seem very cooperative, don't you think? Aren't you afraid of us taking advantage of you?"
"I don't have much choice, do I? Look at me. My soul has none of my previous life power. This kid's body does have some cultivation, but I can't even remember this cultivation realm's name. I can only tell that it is weak to a disgusting level. If I want to recover, I can only cooperate with you."
The body of the kid he possessed was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Binmia and the other elders in the room then began to discuss with Divine Sense messages. It was then that Binmia remembered something.
"Oh, right. Do you at least remember your name?"
The kid was taken aback for a second. He then began to ponder a bit until finally, he nodded his head.
"Oh, I do! My name is Zule."
