Is That A Wisp?

Barlo began to ponder over the story. The thing that made the story believable was the fact that Soren and Luvile were definitely strong. Each one of them was definitely a match for himself, let alone when they were together. The injuries he just received were proof of that. That being said, they didn't need to fear or come up with excuses since they had the advantage.

"So, you were sealed a little before me. However, how can someone with a level of power like yours be caught that easily? If your power had not been used, I would've definitely haven't been caught. You're probably as strong or maybe even stronger than me."

Luvile and Soren sighed in response. Why else would that be? It was because of what happened back then in the God Realm, of course.

"Didn't I just explain to you that I took a long time to wake up my consciousness? Obviously, my body was free for anyone to take advantage of its power."

Barlo nodded in response.

"That's true."

Seeing that things had calmed down, Krune decided to return to Luvile's side. He had been listening to the conversation through his Mental Energy Scan. Heavin and Feifei were also taken outside and were told what happened so far through a Mental Energy Message. Of course, Soren and Luvile stayed close to them in case Barlo decided to attack once more.

Krune then began to ask.

"There's one thing I don't understand. You've been sealed for way too many chaos cycles. Anyone else would have reached the Peak of the Divinity Realm and ascended or had died from the Ascension Tribulation. How come you're still down there?"

However, it was then that Krune noticed a problem.

"Wait! I see... You're just like Luvile and Soren. You aren't someone from the lower realms to start with. People and beasts who cultivate up to the Peak of the Divinity Realm would be forced to ascend. However, if you become strong enough in the higher realms, you can descend to the Mortal Realm after paying the price and stay here. You... Could it be that you also came from the God Realm?"

Luvile and Soren were taken aback. Indeed, that thought explained everything. If he hadn't at least reached a level power to go to the God Realm, he definitely couldn't come back down. It wasn't as if everyone could use Wally's method or had a friend like Primordial Kun-Peng to open a safe passage for themselves like Krune. Only through such a method would he be able to stay in the Mortal Realm for as long as he wanted as long as he suppressed his own power.

Luvile then looked deeply at Barlo.

"I haven't told you this yet, but the fact is, Soren and I came from the God Realm. However, I lived there for a very long time before the accident that sent me down here. Even then, I can't remember meeting you or hearing your name at all."

Soren nodded as he said.

"I'm the same. I also haven't seen or heard of you. Could it be that you're even older than the two of us?"

Barlo wasn't surprised to hear that Luvile and Soren were from the God Realm. Otherwise, he refused to believe that they would be as strong as himself.

"You're correct. I really came from the God Realm. I also paid the price when I came down and had been injured for a very long time before finally recovering. The difference is that I didn't come here because of an accident. I came here because I wanted to. However, I didn't reach the God Level, so it isn't strange that you haven't heard about me. For gods like you, I was just one of the countless ants that lived in the God Realm."

Soren and Luvile were taken aback by that answer.

"You're incredibly crazy. Even for Gods like us, the chances are high that we would die once we tried to come down. For someone who wasn't even at the God-Level, the chances of succeeding are so small it wouldn't reach one in a hundred million. No one would try that unless they were desperate."

Barlo couldn't help but laugh out loud as he asked.

"Desperation. Yes... that's exactly what I felt back then. Have you ever heard of a Universe called Unigan?"

Krune's eyes immediately lit up in response. He obtained access to many records about the Universe Powerhouses back in Dalin. Between those stories, there were documents talking about Universes that had been conquered or destroyed by those powerhouses. And it wasn't just a few of them. Considering the history behind the Universe Powerhouses, tens of thousands of Universes passed through the same situation under the hands of the Powerhouses. Between those Universes, there was indeed a Universe called Unigan from a very long time ago.

"From what I've read, the Unigan Universe began to grow stronger as time passed. The universe didn't have anything special to it, but it did have multiple talents being born. No one could tell whether it was lucky or something else. Because of that, the Universe Powerhouses began to fear that a new powerhouse would be born. To make things worse, the Unigan Universe was close to the territory of one of those powerhouses, the Makrit Universe."

Barlo's expression went dark the very moment he heard that name. Dark Element gathered around him even though he wasn't doing anything. It was obvious how much he hated that name.

However, Luvile couldn't help but ask.

"Makrit Universe? But the actual Universe Powerhouses don't have a Universe called Makrit."

In an instant, Barlo's expression shifted.

"Wait...what?! There's no Universe Powerhouse called Makrit? What do you mean by that?"

Krune couldn't help but sigh in response. He already understood the entire thing.

"I'm getting close to that point. Let me continue the story. According to the records, the Makrit Universe was afraid that the Unigan Universe would try to take its territory if they grew any stronger. Any Universe Powerhouse had thousands, if not tens of thousands of Universes under their control. Naturally, that also counted as the Universe Powerhouse's forces. There was no way that the Makrit Universe would stay still and see its territory being taken away."

"As you could already imagine, the Makrit Universe gathered its forces to attack Unigan. However, the Unigan Universe had already grown quite strong. Even if the Makrit Universe won the war, its own forces would have been severely depleted. Obviously, someone else would take the change to kick them out of their position. They couldn't let that happen."

Krune then continued.

"It was then that the alliance of the Universe Powerhouses of that time came to be. Makrit promised many rewards to the ones who helped them get rid of the Unigan Universe. In the end, two other Universe Powerhouses accepted their offer: the Kavan Universe and the Waskil Universe."

Luvile became even more confused.

"Wait. There are no Universe Powerhouses nowadays called Kavan and Waskil Universe either."

Soren couldn't help but say.

"I feel like there's a connection between all of this."

The one most affected by this was none other than Barlo.

"Kavan, Waskil, Makrit, those were my main targets back then. What do you mean by there are none of them anymore? You're kidding, right?"

Krune shook his head as he responded.

"Luvile's right. There are no Universe Powerhouses called Kavan, Waskil, or Makrit nowadays. They ceased to exist a long time ago."

"Anyway, these three Universes joined hands to get rid of Unigan Universe. Unigan was strong. However, its strength wasn't at the level of a single Universe Powerhouse, just infinitesimally close to it. Let alone having the strength to match three Universe Powerhouses at once. In the end, the Unigan Universe was taken down."

Feifei also understood where Krune was coming from.

"I see what's happening here. Senior Barlo received a distress signal from his Unigan Universe about what was happening. He obviously cared about his home universe very much, so he decided to take the risk to come down even if it could take his life. However, lo and behold, he succeeded."

Krune nodded.

"He really did. That also explains why he was trying to take revenge on those three Universes Powerhouses and why they had to seal him. He came from the God Realm, so the most they could do was force him to flee. However, there's one thing I don't understand. In all the records I read, there was nothing written about Senior Barlo at all. Why is that?"

Barlo was still affected by the fact that those three Universes didn't exist anymore, so he failed to answer Krune's question before Luvile answered it for him.

"Hmph! Why else? He wasn't even at the God-Level and tried to come down to the Mortal Realm. It's already a miracle he succeeded. Obviously, he suffered injuries that might have been even worse than mine. I'm pretty sure that he couldn't even battle a chicken by the time he arrived down here, so how could he help his Unigan Universe? If anything, his soul was probably damaged, and he was unconscious for a very long time before he finally came back to himself. Chances were that everything had already happened by the time he recovered enough to be of any help."

Barlo gritted his teeth after hearing Luvile's words as he said. 

"That's right. There was no Unigan Universe anymore when I finally recovered. That's why I started to plan my revenge. Since they destroyed my home, I would destroy theirs as well."

Barlo then tried to calm down as he looked at Krune and asked.

"What happened to those three Universes? Why don't they exist anymore? Speak!"
