Is that a Wisp?
chapter-807

There were a few people and beasts inside the hall. Some were in higher seats than others, showing their position. However, what caught their attention was the center of the hall, where you could see a spatial distortion. It was then that a voice came from inside that distortion.

"Long time no see, Krune. Also, congratulations on taking your body back, Luvile."

Krune and Luvile could feel the familiar presence of Zule's power coming from that spatial distortion. However, Krune was puzzled about something.

"I can tell that you're Zule. But how come you know who we are? If you were a will left behind, you shouldn't have the memories about us, no?"

Zule confirmed.

"In a normal situation, that would be the case. However, when I got my real body back, I spread my Divine Sense through all realms. It was then that I told you where the other keys could be found, remember? That day, I also took the chance to leave my will behind in this place. The black hole just so happened to be the perfect vessel due to its spatial power."

Krune's group soon understood the reason.

"I see... Let me ask something. I thought you only left the key behind. Still, it's nice to know that you thought ahead about this issue. By the way... can you communicate with your real body outside?"

"Unfortunately, I can't. The memories I have about my real body stops at the moment it left."

Soren looked at Krune and Luvile before asking.

"Is this that Primordial Kun-Peng you told me about?"

"He is. Well, only his will anyway."

Luvile then looked at the space distortion and then at the people around.

"By the way, what is happening here? What are all these people and beasts doing?"

Zule then explained.

"Arminia, come forward."

"Yes."

Arminia then approached the group before Zule explained.

"Krune, Luvile, you spent most of your time with me. Can you feel anything different from her?"

Krune and Luvile became puzzled. They could tell that Arminia wasn't a human, but they didn't care too much about it. Soon after, they used their Divine Senses and Mental Energy to examine Arminia's body. It was then that they noticed something.

"This... Luvile, can you feel the same power from her bloodline as me?"

Luvile nodded.

"There's no doubt. It's extremely thin, but Arminia has a direct connection with the Primordial Kun-Peng's bloodline. However, the Primordial Kun-Peng was sealed for way too long. How come she has a bloodline connection with Zule?"

Krune also added.

"Besides, Zule, wasn't your whole family killed back then? You shouldn't have any descendants as far as I know."

Zule agreed with Krune.

"I was also surprised when I found her. Not only her. You probably can see that there are a few humans here as well. However, they aren't 100% humans. At some point in time, their ancestors also had a bloodline connection with me, so they have some of my bloodline inside as well."

Krune then looked at Arminia before asking.

"So... do you know anything about it?"

Arminia nodded. However, she looked at the spatial distortion in the middle of the hall before saying anything. She was obviously waiting for Zule's approval.

"It's fine. I don't know the girl, the puppet, and the gloomy-looking guy, but I do know Krune and Luvile. You can trust them."

Arminia then took a deep breath before she started talking.

"All I can tell you is the legend passed through our people. It is said that back then, an existence that defied all the natural laws appeared in our Thakulo Universe. However, that existence was severely injured to the point it could barely move at all. The name of that existence was Kalo."

Krune's group became puzzled.

"Kalo? Who's that?"

Zule answered that question.

"Kalo was my son."

"What?! Wasn't your family supposed to be all dead?"

Zule nodded.

"I thought so as well. So you can probably understand how surprised I felt when I noticed Arminia and the others' extremely thin bloodline. I also thought everyone was dead. Unfortunately, Kalo is nowhere to be found anymore."

Krune understood why.

"Kalo was also from the same race as you. That being said, the four realms couldn't support his own existence, so he had to leave. Am I right?"

Zule confirmed.

"Correct. However, it only happened way later along the line. Because of Kalo's severe injuries, his power wasn't even a thousandth of it should be. Thanks to that, his existence could be supported by the Four Realms. That was when he met someone and left his offsprings behind... or so I heard."

Arminia nodded.

"Everyone here can feel our connection through our bloodline. It doesn't matter how thin it becomes. We can always tell when we were related to each other at some point down the line. The twenty-two humans and beasts you see in this room are all the ones who still have some bloodline left in their bodies."

"Because of ancestor's bloodline, we all have very high affinity with Space-related laws. By the time we reach the Divine View Realm, we would have already fused all Space Sub-Laws into the Major Law of Space."

Krune's group was really surprised by that. Even a Space Major Divine Soul Owner would have a hard time doing such a thing. That showed how much of a heaven-defying existence the Primordial Kun-Peng was. Just a little bit of its bloodline was enough to bring out such a change.

"Well, that's good news, right? It means your son is still alive somewhere. I hope you can find him now that you've left the Four Realms."

Zule didn't seem confident.

"I'm not sure if I will. After all, by the time I left with my real body, I didn't know about these descendants' existence. The outside me doesn't know that my son is still alive."

Krune laughed after hearing that.

"Don't worry. Once we get out, I'll make sure to tell you when I find your real body."

Heavin was still puzzled about something.

"By the way, Arminia. How did you know that Zule is your ancestor? After all, I don't think you would simply believe it if Zule came to you and said that."

Arminia nodded before explaining.

"Ancestor Zule is directly connected to us. Even though our bloodline is extremely thin, he can still use it to let us know about our connection with him. How can I say it... We just know that his presence is far above ours. It's a connection that we can't deny. Anyway, it's kinda hard to explain."

Krune's group didn't find it strange.

"That's bloodline connection for you. I just didn't expect it would last as long as this. I mean, even a dragon or phoenix descendant wouldn't last that long if they mix with other races along the line. Kalo was the only Primordial Kun-Peng, so he obviously didn't have another one to give birth to more of them. I guess that proves just how powerful a Primordial Demon Beast's bloodline is."

Zule agreed with him.

"Indeed. I'm quite happy anyway. I just hope my enemies didn't find my son once he left. Oh well, that's something for my real self to worry about. In any case, It's nice to know that he found someone he liked when he was here."

The group then talked a little bit more about those things. Finally, Feifei couldn't help but ask.

"By the way, where is the key? Is it okay for us to take it back now?"

Krune, Soren, Heavin, and Luvile nodded. That's the real reason they came here in the first place. The fact that Zule's will was left here would also help them a lot. However...

"We won't allow you to take it."

Immediately, Krune's group looked at Arminia. She had a dark expression as she looked at them. Not only her, but everyone in the hall had the same expression.

"This... What is happening here?"

Zule bitterly laughed after hearing that.

"Arminia, calm down. Without me, none of you are Luvile or Soren's match. If they want to take it by force, they can do it. In fact, even if I intervene, I'm only using the black hole's power to match them. If it was anyone else, that would have been enough. However, that's a different case for two gods like them."

Arminia nodded and calmed down as requested.

"Sorry. I was too harsh."

Krune then looked at Zule... or the spatial distortion in the center of the room to be more specific.

"Does the key have some important sentimental connection with them? No, wait!"

It was then that Krune noticed something.

"You said that Kalo came to this Universe. Isn't that too much of a coincidence that he arrived exactly in the same place as the key?"

Zule confirmed.

"It's good that you noticed it. Indeed, the reason Kalo came here was not a coincidence. Well, at least I don't think it was since I wasn't here to ask him, so I can't be 100% sure. If I'm not wrong, he used the power inside the key, that was fused with my blood and spatial laws, to arrive in this place when he escaped back then."

Luvile then thought about a possibility.

"I've been feeling a strange thing ever since I arrived in this place. It's as if this location has some special connection with the Lokrathos Universe itself. Could that be the reason?"

Zule was surprised that Luvile noticed it.

"Very sensitive. As expected of a god. You're right. This place has a special connection with its own Universe. Simply put, the key you need is now part of the Lokrathos Universe's foundation."

Immediately, the expressions on the faces of Krune's group turned ugly.
