Is that a Wisp?
chapter-810

So far, the only ones that knew of the presence of Krune's group in the Lokrathos Universe were Arminia and the elders that had participated in the meeting that day. Krune and the others might attract the Universe Powerhouses' attention, so it was better to keep it that way. After all, Lokrathos was moving everyone out, so it was too much of a coincidence for them to be here at the same time.

At some point, Arminia called Krune's group over to talk about the travel.

"We got around 99% of everyone inside the Spatial Boxes already."

Krune nodded before asking.

"I understand. What about the last 1%?"

Arminia shook her head as she said.

"There are many complications regarding this last bunch. Some didn't want to leave, others didn't believe us, there were those planets that we don't know that have life in them. There are also things like secluded experts who have hidden themselves to cultivate and wouldn't come out for who knows how many years. Still, putting those cases altogether, it is only 1% of the total population."

Krune sighed before nodding. They couldn't do anything about those people and beasts, so they could only leave them behind. This wasn't a plan that would be perfect to start with.

Arminia then asked something else.

"What about Dalin Universe? Have you made the preparations for our arrival?"

Krune nodded as he replied.

"I went there some time ago to talk with the actual powers controlling it. They owe me big-time, so they were happy to let everyone stay inside. I just had to explain a little of what was happening. In any case, the number of living beings moving into Dalin couldn't even be considered 1% of Dalin's total population, so it's nothing for them."

Arminia was relieved to hear that.

"That's great news, then. Just remember that the leaders of the sectors of our Universe refuse to stay in the Spatial Boxes. They wanted to stay outside to protect their own people and beasts. You'll have to move tens of thousands of experts without telling them where we're going."

Luvile was there as well.

"Hmph! Just a bunch of ants. Don't worry about that. Once Soren and I make a move, not even a single one of them will be able to leave our side. They wouldn't have any chance to contact anyone outside unless they decide to stay behind. And if someone thinks they can follow us by using any method, they're overestimating themselves."

Arminia nodded, saying in response.

"That's good to know. I'm sure that we have many spies from the surrounding universes who want to know where we're going. But since you're this confident, I won't say anything. By the way, the preparations to move out will be done in one day. We can move tomorrow."

Krune looked at Feifei after hearing that.

"How is it? Can you see any problems with the move?"

After they finished crafting the Spatial Boxes, Feifei kept using her Destiny Divine Soul with divination, trying to find any issues along the way.

"I can't possibly verify everyone. However, I've checked the most important characters and things like that. So far, there's no problem. Oh, well. It's not like we would have problems with Luvile and Soren here anyway."

Luvile obviously agreed with her words.

"Alright. We're moving out tomorrow, then."

Arminia nodded in response to the news and left to tell everyone. Sure enough, the area where the cultivators and demon beasts were guarding the Spatial Boxes became lively after that. Most of them were nervous since they didn't know where they were going.

However, they could already see the Universe's 'instability' happening everywhere. Arminia asked Zule to keep the portal open to anyone who wanted to verify the foundation's status. Seeing it degrading day by day, they could only accept that they must move out.

The other Universes around them had also received the reports and made sure to alert their spies and experts to follow the Lokrathos Universe's members. Since the foundation was open for everyone to see, they all knew about Lokrathos' imminent destruction.

The next day quickly arrived as all the Lokrathos Universe experts who stayed out gathered in a single location with the Spatial Boxes. Arminia was also there, managing everything and making sure nothing wrong happened. With everything double-checked, the time to move out had finally arrived.

"Everyone! Take a good look around since this will be the last time you'll see it. If you have anything to say, say it now."

The surroundings were silent. Everything has been said already. They only wanted to see where they were going.

"Very well. Seniors, it's your time."

"Alright."

Out of nowhere, two figures appeared in the middle of the Lokrathos Universe experts like ghosts. Naturally, they were Soren and Luvile. However, before anyone could say anything, Luvile's Purple Tribulation Lightning began to expand at frightening speeds. Of course, there was no damage to anyone.

The next time they saw it, their entire surroundings were enclosed by a barrier of Purple Lightning. Soren then used his Mental Energy and immediately sealed everyone's cultivation, much to their alarm. They couldn't understand how Soren had done that at all. The only ones that could more or less move were the Late and Peak Stage Divinity Realm experts. But even they couldn't do much.

"Don't worry, everyone. I'm only doing it to prevent any mishaps during the travel. Alright, let's go."

Whether the people and beasts believed it or not didn't matter. It was at this moment that Luvile showed what a god could really do.

With Soren making his move, his Purple Tribulation Lighting was enveloped in Spatial Laws before it struck the fabric of space. Right in front of everyone, a gigantic Spatial Gate appeared, more than big enough to swallow them. But the frightening thing wasn't the Spatial Gate itself. Instead, it was the place it was connected to.

Now that Luvile knew both the start and endpoint, he was able to open a Spatial Gate that connected directly to one of the Universes bordering Dalin in a single go! Such a thing was only possible when using the Multi-Universal Teleport Formations, which are extremely expensive and hard to build. But here was Luvile, doing it with his power alone!

Thanks to the Purple Tribulation Lightning Layer, everyone observing the even outside with their Divine Sense found out that the people of the Lokrathos Universe had suddenly disappeared. Not only that, but when they tried to open a spatial gate to get closer to that place, they found out that they couldn't connect to it at all! Naturally, Luvile and Soren had disrupted the Spatial Laws in the surrounding area, so no one could open a Spatial Gate there if they weren't as strong as the two.

Soon after, Soren used his power and pulled everyone inside together with Luvile. Just like that, almost all the living beings of the Lokrathos Universe disappeared in a flash. The gate quickly closed behind, leaving nothing for the others to see. Another thing that closed was the portal into the Lokrathos Universe's Foundation. Well, Zule was watching everything, so he knew that there was no reason to keep it open anymore. He just had to wait for Krune to come back.

Once again, no one noticed the arrival of Luvile's group since they entered that Universe with the Purple Tribulation Lightning Layer active.

Without wasting any time, Luvile controlled his Purple Tribulation Lightning to open a hole in the Dalin Universe's Protection Formation before quickly passing through with everyone. Luvile's control was so much better than Krune that the hole he created had repaired itself in just a few seconds after the passing.

"Alright. It seems like everything had gone smoothly."

Krune nodded.

"Let's go to the sector separated for them. It's just an open space without anything at the moment. Still, it will become a small galaxy with over a million stars in it very soon."

Luvile nodded before opening another spatial gate.

Finally, they arrived at what would be their new home in the Dalin Universe. Soren then released everyone from his control as Luvile turned off his Purple Tribulation Lightning Layer. Immediately, all the Lokrathos Universe experts looked around, puzzled.

"Have we arrived?"

"Wait! That's not possible. How long did it take?"

"It didn't take even ten minutes! There's no way we have arrived already."

"Could it be that we were brought to one of our neighboring Universes?"

Arminia immediately shook her head as she said.

"No! We are far, far away from Lokrathos Universe."

Everyone then looked at Arminia, who seemed to be quite excited.

"Can't you feel the Spiritual Energy in this place? Does it look like any Universe you have been in before?"

Immediately, everyone was taken aback. The concentration of Spiritual Energy in this place was simply much higher than any place they had ever been in.

"This..."

"How come there's a place with so much Spiritual Energy?"

"That's not all. Try to look into the laws!"

"The laws! They're... They're so... Clear! How's that possible?!"

As they were still in shock at the density of Spiritual Energy, a rainbow-haired guy appeared in front of everyone as he laughed.

"Hahaha! Everyone, welcome to the Dalin Universe!"

*Boom!*

In less than an instant, everyone went in an uproar! Dalin Universe! The Dalin Universe! How could they not know what Universe it was?

"I know that guy! It's the rainbow wisp we saw in the last heavenly Competition!"

Sure enough, Krune was well known among the high-level experts. Everyone saw him during the last Heavenly Competition, especially when he battled Iem.

Suddenly, many spatial gates appeared around as members of the Dalin Universe's controlling powers came out. One of them just so happened to be Baren Frunkan, the Dalin Universe's Retaking plan leader.

"Krune, are these the ones you talked about?"

Krune nodded as he replied.

"Yes. There are around a million suns with many planets orbiting them in those Spatial Boxes' Dimensional Realms. That's almost the entire population of the Lokrathos Universe."

Baren nodded.

"Very well. As discussed before, we will need to verify everyone."

Krune didn't mind.

"No problem."

Krune then looked at Arminia.

"Senior Arminia, I'll leave the rest up to you. Our debt with your group has now been paid."

Arminia nodded with a smile.

"Very well paid indeed. Thank you."

Everyone was taken aback. They finally understood that Arminia seemed to have struck some deal with Krune. Just when did that happen? How did she do that? Well, that didn't matter anymore. After all, they arrived at the Universe of their dreams. So what if they weren't the controlling power anymore? It was totally worth it!

Of course, they would prefer to not lose their Universe. Unfortunately, it was going to disappear, and they couldn't do anything about that. With that, Krune's group had finalized the moving plan.

Luvile then shrugged his shoulders before saying.

"We're finally done with this. Let's go back and take the key."

Krune, Feifei, Heavin, and Soren nodded in response before they departed from Dalin once more. As for what would happen with the Lokrathos Universe's population, that's for another story.
