Is that a Wisp?
chapter-698

Zule then went back to the main topic.

"As I said, there are four 'doors' that are connected to the foundations of the Four Realms. To open them, you will need to cut this connection with the Foundation. Do that, and the doors will open."

Luvile and the others showed puzzled expressions in response.

"The Foundations of the Four Realms. The Underworld, Mortal Realm, Godly Path Realm, and God Realm. First of all, where can we find the Foundations? Each and every single one of them is ridiculously enormous. You don't expect us to search every Universe inside them, right?"

Zule smiled as he shook his head.

"There is no need. After all, there is no need to look for the Foundations. They are present everywhere."

This time, Luvile and Harold were dumbfounded.

"Everywhere? How come we have never seen them before? Let alone see them, neither Harold nor I have ever felt their presence."

Harold agreed with Luvile.

"That's true. Before we tried to escape the Four Realms in the past, all the gods looked for a way to open the doors you talked about. However, it doesn't matter what we did. We simply found no clue whatsoever."

Zule didn't find it strange.

"That's to be expected. After all, the Foundations are present everywhere in each of the Four Realms. However, they have been hidden by none other than me... or Kun-Peng's power, to be more specific."

Only now did Luvile and the others understand.

"I see... according to the records, Kun-Peng has the power to alter the very foundations of Space Laws. If you, or Kun-Peng, used your power to hide the Foundations, then I can believe that even all gods together wouldn't be able to find them. The proof of it is that you said that the Foundations of the Four Realms are everywhere, but we didn't know about it until now."

Zule nodded.

"That's obvious. Anyway, I don't intend to keep playing the game that the guys who put me in this situation any longer, so I won't stop you from going out. To get access to the Four Foundations, you will need four keys. Those keys are Spatial Keys that I created from my own essence blood all the way back before being ambushed. Those keys are connected to the Four Realms, so they can't be brought outside. That being said, the Keys definitely exist."

Krune then asked the obvious question.

"So, where can we find the keys?"

"Give me a minute."

Zule then stopped talking and concentrated on Kun-Peng's power. Without anyone noticing anything, Zule used Kun-Peng's power to spread his Divine Sense through the entire Four Realms! Even the heavens of each realm didn't notice anything. The Keys were made from Kun-Peng's own essence blood, so it was not hard to find them.

"Now, that's surprising..."

Luvile and others' attention was immediately caught.

"What is it? Did you find them?"

Zule nodded.

"Yes. It seems like the Gods present in the God Realm at the moment aren't idiots. They already have two of the four keys."

Zule then looked at Krune and laughed.

"You might not believe it, but one of those keys was on Wally's hands until a few years ago."

Krune was taken aback.

"How do you know about Wally?"

Krune had never mentioned Wally to Zule before. Iem and Harold didn't have much reason to talk about him either, so Zule shouldn't have known about his existence. However, Zule simply shrugged his shoulders.

"Who knows? Anyway, that is not the issue here. The fact is that he delivered his key to the Gods of the God Realm, so it's not in his hands anymore. I can see the Godly Path Realm and the Underworld Realm Keys with them. Both Keys are in the hands of a God called Neto."

Back then, Wally used the Dalin Universe communication formation to contact the God Realm. The one he talked to just so happened to be Neto himself. Wally used the key and 'something else' as an exchange for the Wisp Race's freedom. That's why all prejudices against the Wisp Race stopped in the Mortal Realm.

Still, Luvile and the others had no idea who this guy called Neto is.

"This must be a God that appeared after Harold and I perished. At least, I've never heard about him before. By the way, how did they find the truth about the keys?"

Zule shook his head in response, being in the dark as well.

"That I don't know. But if I were to guess, they still have an idea of what happened the last time the Gods tried to escape. That being said, they know that trying to force their way out will not work, so they started to look for another way again. Perhaps, they bumped into one of my keys during this time, which allowed them to understand what they needed to do. Of course, this is just a theory."

Krune then thought about something else.

"Back then, Sentoi asked you to help stop the Gods. But if they are looking for the keys, is there really a point in stopping them?"

Luvile went silent for a second.

"Well, perhaps Sentoi had no idea that the Gods were looking for the keys, so he was afraid of them trying to destroy the doors by force once more."

Zule had another idea, instantly telling them about it.

"I don't know who that Sentoi is, but anyway, that might not be the case."

"What do you mean?"

Zule sighed and explained.

"Well... I think it's already a miracle that they found those two keys. I was the one who hid them, you know? I can guarantee that it won't be easy to find the other two. That being said, Sentoi might know about the keys. However, the Gods in the God Realm might not be willing to wait until they find the other two. Maybe they think that having two is already enough."

Luvile and the others went silent for a second.

"That is a possibility. However, there should be no reason for Sentoi to not tell me about that back in the Holy Land."

Iem couldn't help but ask.

"Well, it doesn't matter anymore, right? Zule can control his... Kun-Peng's power once more. He can simply tell us where the keys are now. No, even better than that, can't he use his power to simply open the doors? After all, he is at a realm far above the Gods. Perhaps, he can bring everyone out without even needing to use the exit at all. Zule said it before, didn't he? If we wanted to leave the Four Realms without using the exit, we would need to have cultivations far above the Gods in the God Realm. That's exactly what he is at right now."

Luvile, Harold, and Krune couldn't help but admit that Iem was right.

However, Zule immediately shook his head.

"At most, I can tell you where the other two keys can be found. Other than that, there is nothing much I can do."

Obviously, that statement took them by surprise.

"Could it be that you can't control Kun-Peng's body?"

Zule shook his head.

"No, I can control my... his body. Gah, fuck it! It's becoming annoying to separate me from Kun-Peng every time I talk. It's not wrong to say that I'm also Kun-Peng, so let's just roll it."

"Anyway, I can control my body and use its power. It's also not wrong to say that I'm far above any of the Gods in the God Realm in cultivation. However, I can't intervene in these things. At the moment, my body is in a hibernating state, so its power is not affecting the Four Realms. However, the moment I decide to awaken it, I must leave straight away."

Krune understood where Zule was coming from.

"I see. It is the same thing as the cultivation restriction when we enter a fragile Dimensional Realm. Some of those Realms can't support the existence of high-level cultivators and demon beasts. Obviously, the Four Realms can't support Kun-Peng's cultivation once it awakes."

But it was then that Krune remembered something.

"Wait. During the time that Luvile and Harold's parents were alive, you were not sleeping. In fact, once you arrived here, you probably weren't at your limit yet. Since that's the case, how come the Four Realms could hold your existence? No, not only that but Luvile and Harold said that there are records of the existence of other Primordial Demon Beasts in the past inside the Four Realms. Also, didn't you say that the Four Realms were created by you and the other Primordial Demon Beasts and some other helpers? Why were the Four Realms capable of holding all of your existences before but can't do it anym- ah!"

Only then did Krune notice where the issue lay.

Zule smiled at Krune's realization.

"It seems like you understand why it happened."

Zule's projection then looked at both Krune and Iem. No, to be more specific, it was as if his eyes could pierce through them and look directly at Luvile and Harold.

"Ohhhh~~ It's so baddd~~ If some 'CERTAIN' Gods didn't try to escape by force before, almost destroying the Four Realms' foundations, I wouldn't be in this predicament. But noooooo~~ they wanted to leave, so they tried it. Those 'CERTAIN' Gods made the Four Realms' foundations a lot more fragile than it was in the past. Such a pity, such a pity~~..."

If Luvile and Harold had bodies at the moment, even their stats as Gods wouldn't be able to cover their red faces.

"Ahem... we won't do that anymore..."

Zule nodded before saying.

"Well said, kids."
