Is that a Wisp?
chapter-827

As mentioned in the past, the Mortal Rejection Realm was when one transformed the remaining part of their body into a Godly variant, the Soul!

Godly Energy quickly fused with Krune's Soul as it began to slowly change its own properties. Unlike what others thought, it wasn't that painful. Not to mention that Krune was a wisp, which was also considered a Soul Race. Of course, that made things far easier for him.

Time passed as his Soul continued to change. If not because of the Godly Energy entering his body nonstop, it would be quite a silent breakthrough. That just showed how smooth it worked. Eventually, the last strand of Krune's Soul changed as his cultivation began to rise. His foundation space increased in size, making his Universe Foundation even bigger.

It was then that a burst of Godly Energy came out of Krune's body, spreading everywhere around him. Krune had finally reached the Mortal Rejection Realm.

"Phew... It was easier than I thought. Now I have to increase my Soul strength during the next Nine Stages of the Mortal Rejection Realm."

Krune then faintly smiled as he raised his finger. Right above it, there was a dark cloud that revolved around it nonstop. It carried some kind of energy and law that others would have a hard time recognizing. It was not the fused five elements, though. Well, to be more exact, it did have the five elements, but as well as the other elements and laws. Space, Time, Destiny, Light, Darkness, Yin, and even Yang. They were all there, and at the same time, they were not.

"Calamity Laws, huh...? I finally got you! Once again, you tried to make things go south for me after my breakthrough. What is it? Do you like making my life that hard? Hmph! It seems like your luck is finally over."

Krune looked at that as he tried to comprehend it better. However, it was easier said than done. He could see everything, and at the same time, he couldn't see anything at all. Krune had to be struck by the Calamity Laws during most of his breakthroughs to eventually obtain an incredibly basic understanding of it.

"Strong, yet at the same time not. Easy to comprehend yet hard at the same time. Rather than calling it the Calamity Laws, Quantum Laws would probably be a better fit. Two states at the same time. It's very fitting indeed. However..."

Krune lifted his other hand as he summoned the Fused Elements. Of course, it didn't stop there. Soon, Light and Dark Element also joined that elemental fusion. What was surprising was that Krune didn't seem to have any issues doing it. Eventually, Krune tried to put in even more things. Time, Space, Destiny, Yin, and Yang. Those powers also emerged from Krune's body as they joined the Fused Elements.

To give support to that fusion, Krune made sure to use his Mental Energy. After all, the real nature of the five fused elements had always been the Soul Cultivation Technique. Unfortunately...

*Bzzzzzzz...*

*Boom!*

An explosion of energy and laws came from Krune's hand. Fortunately, he was already expecting it, though. That being said, he protected himself before that happened. Well, to be honest, Krune was surprised at just how weak that explosion was. Could it even be called an explosion? Even if he didn't protect himself, he would at most suffer a few small cuts or something like that.

"That's quite far away. Still, to think I would notice the Calamity Laws' presence when I tried to fuse all the elements and the three major laws together with Yin and Yang. I was doing it to get a gist of what would be my own laws. However, the sudden appearance of the Calamity Laws threw my ideas in disarray..."

Krune then looked at the Calamity Laws above his finger on the other hand. Unlike the fusion he tried to make, this one was somewhat stable. He could keep its form for some time.

"The trick is behind the two ideas. I feel like I'm very close to something, but what is it? Now that I've entered the Mortal Rejection Realm, I can also control Mental Energy easier. That makes the fusion of everything a lot simpler as well. Fusion, Elements, Laws, Chaos... Put them together, and you have the Calamity Laws. Take them away, and you still have the Calamity Laws, just not in a tangible form."

And with that, an idea popped into Krune's mind.

"Ah! Maybe..."

Krune then gathered the Calamity Laws in his hand once again. It was a very basic form, far from what it could really become. Still, it was definitely the Calamity Laws. Krune then smiled as he... did the opposite! Instead of gathering everything to create Calamity Laws, Krune decided to unmake it, breaking the Calamity Laws apart!

Little by little, the dark cloud seemed to separate into many elements and laws. Following that, these laws and elements dissipated into the world. No, to be more precise, they fused back into the world once more. Krune couldn't help but feel impressed with just how normal it looked. There were no ripples, no rejection, nothing. It was as if the Calamity Laws' properties had returned back to what they should have been from the very start. At that instant, Krune's eyes lit up!

"That's it! I finally have an idea of what kind of Laws I will create. The Calamity Laws screwed me up many times. But it was also thanks to it that I got to where I am today. They are 'chaos,' and at the same time, they are 'order.'"

Krune then took a deep breath as he concentrated his senses. Both Godly Energy and Mental Energy gathered around his body before moving to his arms. Once again, the Calamity Laws appeared on his hands. However, it was completely different this time. There seemed to be some order to all the chaos of laws, elements, and energies inside. Everything was there, and everything could be used.

"Through nothing, I will have everything. Through everything, I will get nothing. I shall call it the Balance Laws."

Krune couldn't help but feel excited about his discovery. Just how powerful would it be when he fused it into his own attacks. No, its potential wasn't just in combat. It was everywhere and in everything. The prospect was limitless.

However...

*Boom!*

Just a second after Krune created the Balance Laws, it broke apart in an explosion of Godly and Mental Energies once more. This time, however, Krune felt the shock. It was still nothing compared to something that could really hurt him, but it was definitely more robust than the previous one.

"Well, I guess it was to be expected. I'm putting the horses in front of the cart. I tried to use the Balance Laws without even coming up with their own Sub-Laws. I don't have the necessary structure to hold everything together, so it broke apart. Obviously, let alone using it. Chances are that I might even get killed by it if I'm not careful in the future."

Krune then smiled once again.

"However, I know exactly where to start. To achieve balance, I need cooperation. I first have to make everything work together as I wish. That being said, I can already tell which sub-laws I shall create."

"First, the Elemental Cooperation Sub-Law. This one is basically making all the elements work together. It's not a fusion but a coexistence."

"Second, the Energy Cooperation Sub-Laws. Godly Energy, Spiritual Energy, Mental Energy, Yin Energy, Yang Energy... I need to make all of them cooperate with one another as well."

"Finally, the most difficult out of all of them, the Law Cooperation Sub-Law. Without a doubt, making all of these energy and elemental laws work together will be the hardest. I can't even figure out how I'm going to do that yet."

"After that, I will need to merge everything together. Only then will I achieve balance. However, this last part is surprisingly the easiest one..., or so I think. I'll need to see how it turns out when I get there."

Krune then looked in the direction where Soren pointed out before. He told Lila that a city could be found there. Naturally, that would be Krune's first stop. At the very least, it was better than wandering without a destination.

Krune quickly got up and began to run... just to fall on his feet a few kilometers ahead, tired!

*gasp, gasp...*

"Th-This... Wh-Why am I s-so tired all of a su-sudden?"

Poor Krune had truly underestimated the God Realm. He knew that he wouldn't be able to fly, but who could have imagined he wouldn't even be able to run?

Krune then reached the conclusion that it would be better to simply walk than run. Slowly but surely, Krune made his way to the city. Fortunately for him, Soren knew where they had arrived. That being said, he also knew that Krune wouldn't find any dangers as he made his way to the city. Of course, Soren didn't tell Krune about the difficulties of the God Realm. The fact he couldn't even run much was one of them.

"This is ridiculous! If that's the case, how about my attacks?"

Krune then used his Godly Energy to summon a blade of wind before firing it at the grass.

*Swish!*

Krune's mouth twitched when he saw the outcome. He had cut the grass... or to be more specific, three blades of grass before the blade of wind lost its power.

"Since when did I become so weak? Can't I even cut grass anymore?"

"Lightning Fall!"

*Tzzzzz!*

A bolt of lightning hit the ground... and burnt a few more blades of grass.

"Last time I remember feeling so weak was before I met Feifei..."

Krune couldn't help but sigh.
