366 What If? (2/2)

”Can't you simply bring this girl's soul over? As long as Jolk is in the Wisp Main World, he won't need to be afraid of failing or not.”

Krune nodded.

”That's true, wouldn't it make everything simpler?”

Olave shook his head.

”She is not in the condition to travel. Keeping her Soul Stable in the same place is already as difficult as it is. A Soul as weak as my Daughter's wouldn't resist the Spatial Transfer between one Universe to another. The only way is by going there.”

Krune also shook his head and replied.

”Then we are done here. There is no guarantee that I would come back alive.”

Olave insisted.

”I'm telling you, no one will try to kill you. I can also guarantee your safety! This is the promise of the Sect Master himself, isn't that enough?”

Krune looked at Olave and then sighed.

”Well, it is already all over the Mission Hall network anyway, so showing it here now wouldn't change anything. It is only a question of time before someone connects the points that Jolk and Darten are the same Wisps.”

Krune then transformed back to his Wisp Form.

Initially, Olave was puzzled why Jolk would go back to his Wisp Form. After all, he already knew that Jolk was a wisp. That didn't bother him at all. But after Krune finished his transformation, he finally understood why his promise as the Sect Master of the Zenfin Sect wasn't enough.

”You... are a wisp with a Major Divine Soul...”

Krune then returned to his human form once more and nodded.

”Correct. Cinty has already told me how dangerous it is for a Major Divine Soul wisp to leave the Wisp Worlds. She also said that the Dalin management didn't want anything else other than she stepping out to get rid of her. After all, she has the Blackhole Major Divine Soul.”

Olave felt like he was struck by lightning. That is because his Zenfin Sect is also one of those who would try to eliminate any wisp that could possibly reach the Divine Path Realm one day. No one would try to touch the wisps inside the Wisp Worlds. But once they leave, things are different.

Of course, they wouldn't simply go ahead and kill every single Wisp they see. The powers controlling Dalin only have a single target, Major Core and Major Divine Soul Wisps. The other wisps couldn't possibly reach the Divine Path Realm. Those Major ones were the only ones that might have a tiny chance of doing so. And that is because they are in the Dalin Universe. If it was any other Universe, no one even pays attention to them since the result is already obvious.

Of course, that was the case before Krune came up with the Myriad Wisps Technique. But he wouldn't tell Olave about such a thing.

”So, Zenfin Sect's Sect Master, Olave Merfil. Would you be able to guarantee my safety? First of all, let's forget about the other powers. Would you be able to guarantee my safety against the Zenfin Sect itself? Or better, wouldn't you be the one taking my life regardless if I succeeded in saving your Daughter or not?”

Olave fell on his knees. Anyone could see that his hope of ever bringing Jolk out of this place was simply gone.

Since Jolk showed his real form to him, it means that the Dalin management already knows about it or is at least close to finding out. Since that is the case, he definitely wouldn't be able to protect him. That is because, considering his position as Sect Master, the information of his travel to Dalin is known to everyone.

The Universes Powerhouses would always have spies inside each other. That is a given so that they can keep the balance and prevent being caught off guard. First of all, he didn't care about concealing his tracks since he was just trying to have Jolk create a pill. The other powers shouldn't have a reason to stop him from saving his Daughter. Such a thing would only create friction between themselves.

But now, the situation is totally different. The moment Olave brings Jolk out, all the other powers will immediately contact him and demand Jolk's extermination. He can't possibly go against all the other powers by himself. First of all, the Ancestors of his Sect would be the very first ones to make a move. Even the Wisp Protection Law is not enough to protect against it in Dalin, let alone after Jolk leaves Dalin and enter Larael.

It was then that he thought about something.

”Then, what will happen if you need to leave the Wisp Main World at some point?”

Krune smiled playfully and said.

”I obviously have my ways of not being detected. Our Wisp race might stay without a Wisp King or Queen for a few generations. Still, sooner or later, a Major Core or Major Divine Soul Wisp would appear again. Do you think we haven't thought about ways of going out without anyone noticing? Although you might not know this, the Dalin universe had definitely noticed it a long time ago. Of course, knowing that it happens and finding where they went are two completely different things.”

Krune wasn't lying. Cinty had long since told him about the principal secrets of the Wisp Main World. That includes the ways that the Wisp Kings and Queens used to go out and come back without being found. If they couldn't go out, they wouldn't be able to temper themselves, so their cultivation would sooner or later stagnate.

Olave had to admit that it was true. It is just that he had never paid much attention to the Wisp Kings and Queens before. Usually, the Dalin Universe was in control of such things, so he didn't have to care.

”Can't you use one of those ways to sneak out and encounter with me somewhere else?”

Even Olave knew how ridiculous that question was. Leave and encounter with him? Why? So that Jolk would be killed by his Sect in the end? Once the time comes for them to pass through the Spatial Gate connecting to the Larael Universe, he wouldn't be able to hide Krune anymore. For the sake of protecting the Dalin Universe, no one can escape the search rules. The Divinity Level Formations are there exactly for this reason. Jolk would definitely be found out as soon as he is forced into his true form by those Formations.

Krune couldn't help but ask.

”You are not an idiot to the point that you think it would work, right? First of all, the main issue remains. Even if for some miracle, I am successful in leaving the Dalin Universe without anyone noticing. Once everything on my side is done, why would you keep me alive?”

”Let's pretend that everything goes well for me. I leave the Wisp Main World without being found out. Then I enter the Zenfin Sect, heal your Daughter, and no one notices that I'm a Major Divine Soul Wisp. Then you also keep your promise and don't kill me. How exactly do you expect me to come back to Dalin after that? As you know, Dalin is the only Universe where wisps have a chance of entering the Soul Forging Realm or maybe even the Void Breaking one. Once I get trapped outside, my life will be basically over. You won't need to do anything since I will simply die due to my Lifespan.”

That was Krune's last strike. It was simply a dead end. All the other routes between Krune and Olave's Daughter could only lead to Krune's death.

Feifei looked at Olave with a sad expression. She could tell that Olave really loved his daughter more than anything else. She then sent a Divine Sense massage to Krune.

”I don't know the entire story, but is there really no other way to help his Daughter?”

Krune glanced at Feifei and gave a faint smile that only she noticed. Then, a small spark of Purple Lightning appeared on his hand. But it was so small that only Feifei, who was paying attention to Krune, noticed. That made her understand that Krune already had an idea.

”You bully!”

Olave finally came back to himself and got up again.

”Sorry for taking so much of your time.”

Olave started to walk to the exit of the Krune's house when suddenly, Krune asked.

”What if I say that there is a way to bring your daughter to Dalin without the risk of her Soul being further damaged by the Spatial Transfer?”
