Chapter 74 - Heavens? Me? You Must Be Joking (1/2)
After a few days, all the wisps and demon beasts had been allocated around the inner city, with Krune's authority as Legacy Disciple, he was able to open a few training rooms and fields for everyone to use after everything was set, he decided that he would once again immerse himself in cultivation and soul technique training, he doesn't have enough Spirit Stones to open the ninth meridian, so that was the best he could do at moment.
But before that, there was another matter he had to take care of, Krune closed the door of his room and sit on his bed, he concentrated on his mind and looked for that speaking Tribulation Lightning.
”Come out, I know you are there, don't pretend that you don't exist after what you did.”
After some moments of silence, Krune finally heard an answer.
”Who is pretending to not exist? It was because I used all my power that I had to sleep for a while, in fact, I should be sleeping at moment too, because of your mistake, I was forced to intervene and send the lightning back at that ant.”
Krune took a deep breath.
”So, what exactly are you? Are you the heavens?”
The voice heard that and burst in laugh.
”Heavens? Me? You must be joking, the thing that you call heavens can go to hell for all that I care.”
Krune was alarmed with that information.
”Heavens go to hell? Does it mean that the Tribulation Lightning isn't the power of the Heavens?”
”Half right and half wrong, the power that triggers the Tribulation Lightning does indeed come from the thing you call heavens, but its concept was learned because of me.”
Krune thought that it was too much information for him to take.
”In that case, what exactly are you?”
The voice was about to answer when suddenly, Krune's eight Spiritual Energy Meridians appeared and started to shine again, Krune was taken aback, it had never happened before, they only shined once he created a new one, after a few moments, the shining stopped and Krune regained the control over them.
”The hell? What happened?”
The entity controlling the voice in his head was silent, Krune didn't know what happened, but it did, it was a warning, a warning directed at himself, it was telling him that he already spoke too much, the voice remembered the aura that came out of the meridians, an aura no weaker than his own.
Krune examined his Spiritual Energy Meridians a little more but didn't find anything strange, he really couldn't understand what happened, after some time, Krune finally gave up and asked the Tribulation Lightning inside his soul.
”Was it you?”
The voice answered back.
”No, I have nothing to do with what happened.”
Krune found it fishy, but there was nothing he could do if the Tribulation Lightning didn't want to answer, so he went back to the previous topic.
”Anyway, you haven't told me what you are yet.”
The voice simply said.
”That's not important for you at the moment, there is a lot of things that you better not know if you don't have the power to change anything.”
Krune was taken aback with that answer, he still has loads of questions, and he kept asking them but the voice refused to answer even a single one.
”I'm not doing it because I don't like you, but because it really is no good for your future development to know about them now.”
Krune was still unconvinced but since the voice didn't want to answer, there was nothing he could do.
”In that case, why are you in my soul?”
The voice answered.
”I'm not exactly in your soul, I'm still inside your Elemental Core, I'm simply using the link between the Tribulation Lightning in your soul and me to talk to you.”
Krune was feeling gloomy, he only understood that he understands nothing.
”Then why me?”
The voice once again burst in laugh.
”Coincidence! I have been trying to get free for who knows how many years, it just so happens that you were there in the right place at the right time.”
Krune was speechless, was it that simple?
”Errr… then, when are you leaving? You can't possibly live inside my Elemental Core forever, right?”
”I can't leave for now since I will be found out, that time when you got hit by another person's Tribulation Lightning was basically because that thing you call havens had instinctively noticed my presence, so it attacked, if I leave now, I will be struck to death.”
Krune was starting to feel like kicking this guy out by force, but then he remembered that he had no idea how to do that.
”Anyway, do you have a name?”
The voice answered straight away.
”You can simply call me The Most Supreme Tribulation Lightning.”
Krune's mouth twitched when he heard that.
”Alright, from now on you are little light.”
'Little light' was taken aback.
”Who the hell is little light?”
Krune ignored him and made the next question.
”There is no such thing as free lunch in this world, in that case, what can you do for me?”
Little light was still angry with that name but then it reminded itself of its status, it was beneath itself to discuss such things with a weakling like Krune.
”I won't bicker with you about that name, as for what I can do for you, I already did plenty, who do you think that saved the life of your friends just a few days ago?”
Krune went silent at that moment, little light wasn't wrong, it was really thanks to him that Krune was able to avoid disaster back in the Katiu Forest, little light noticed that Krune went silent and then continued.
