267 Its Him! (1/2)
Krune felt weird to hear something like that.
”Wisp God?”
Cinty then laughed.
”Don't worry, it doesn't mean that he is a real god or anything. This is just how the wisp during his time came to call him. It wasn't something that he chose himself, but a nickname that the other wisps gave him. According to the records, in fact, he pretty much hated that name. But it didn't stop the other wisps from calling him like that anyway.”
Krune nodded and then asked something else.
”You said that his nine disciples have all reached the Divine Path Realm, does it mean that Wally and his disciples have all ascended?”
Cinty shook her head.
”The only one who ascended, in the end, was Wally. His disciples were caught in the middle of the war for the Dalin Universe and perished. Oh, right! Do you know about the war that the other great Universes started to conquer the Dalin Universe?”
Krune, Feifei nodded. They had heard about it from Cilia back in the Divine Path Sect. Later, Krune and Feifei told Ruik and Tiane about this event as well. As for Dilo, as someone who lived in this Universe, he had long since known about that.
”That was it. They fought to protect the Wisp Race. In fact, they couldn't care less whether Dalin was conquered or not, all they did was protect the wisp worlds in a long-gone Solar System. Unfortunately, in the end, they still perished.”
Ruik then asked.
”So, what happened with the wisp race?”
Cinty then continued.
”Wally's nine disciples had been defending the wisp worlds without many issues for a few years. They even released the news that they didn't care about who governed the Dalin Universe. As long as no one attacks their wisp worlds, they will not interfere in the war.”
”They were really a force to be recognized, each one of them had a Major Core. So no other force could simply ignore it. In the end, because of a well-laid plot. The nine of them were trapped and killed by a coalition of several other powers of the other great Universes.”
”Even though they said that they didn't care, the fact was that they were too strong together. The other great Universes that were conquering the Dalin Universe were afraid that if the intervened in a critical moment, they would have to pay a high price. So they decided to get rid of them first.”
”But who could have thought that the death of all nine of them would alert Wally in the realm above? As soon as they died, a gigantic Spiritual Pressure descended in the place where that colation fought the wisps. Even those at the Divinity Realm, be it cultivators or demon beasts, could resist it at all. It only took a few seconds, and the entire coalition died to that Spiritual Pressure.”
Cinty then looked at Krune and the others with a severe expression.
Krune's group nodded. By this time, they were way too curious to let it go.
Cinty took a deep breath and continued.
”Our wisp race is considered quite a pitful one, that is true. We have minimal life spans, and almost no cultivation techniques work for us. Even the one that I'm using now is considered at most as a 'not too bad' one. Because of that, it is almost impossible to reach the Divine Path Realm where the immortality resides.”
”But thanks to Wally, all the big powers in the other Universes came to know something else. Wisps that have surpassed the Divinity Realm and ascended can also descend into their home Universe without paying any price. From there, they can go anywhere they want. Or at the very least, Wally could.”
Krune and Feifei were taken aback by that new info. In fact, there was one more being that felt even more shocked, Light Spirit!
”Impossible!”
Krune heard that voice in his mind and knew that Light Spirit was deeply affected by those words.
Krune then said.
”Wait a minute, please. Let me organize my thoughts before you continue.”
Cinty didn't know what he wanted to think about but nodded nonetheless.
”Okay, tell me when you want me to continue.”
Krune thanked her and then closed his eyes. But in fact, he was talking with Light Spirit.
”What's the problem? Why did you shout that out of nowhere?”
Light Spirit explained.
”Didn't you see the state that Cilia and I are at the moment? My body was stolen, and Cilia had to put her soul inside that tower in the Divine Path Sect. It could be said that those were one of the prices for cultivators like us to descend from the realm above. Our cultivation is too high, that's why the lower realm rejects us and send us to the next. That's how it works.”
”I believe that I don't need to tell you just how much weaker Cilia and I became just because of that alone, right? It's not like it's impossible to descend, but you must pay the price! This is a truth for all races, humans included. Things like having your dantian or core damaged or your cultivation severely affected can be considered as being lucky already. Death is most likely the outcome for anyone who tries it.”
”If that Wisp called Wally can really descend without paying any price, then this is too heaven-defying! Can you imagine the implications of someone above the Divinity Realm entering and staying in the lower realms?”
Krune was astonished after hearing that.
”Wouldn't Wally be pretty much invincible?”
Light Spirit disagreed.
