383 Heavenly Competition (2/2)
”What I need from you is similar to what you did in the past. Just a guarantee that rules won't be broken. As for a reason behind our realm names and appearance, that is because Feifei believes in you.”
Feifei nodded.
”I have long since used my Divination Skills. Although your cultivation is much higher than mine, I can at least tell that you would not betray anyone that treats you with respect. So I'm not the least bit afraid of you going around displaying our picture everywhere with our names under it.”
Laex couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It is not every day that someone would say something like that on his face.
”Cough, cough. That's good and all, but let's go back to the main topic, shall we?”
Krune laughed and then explained everything. The only thing he left out is the fact that his group entrance in the Dalin Universe was illegal. He even told about the fact that their Universe Heavenly Fragment fight is about to start.
As for Laex mission? It is to prevent other Void breaking Realms from intervening. As long as they are not in the No Law Zones, one can't be attacked by others with cultivation realms much higher than theirs. But it doesn't mean that someone wouldn't try it. For example, if a Void breaking Realm becomes a slave for some reason, he wouldn't be able to defy the owner's order. In that case, the laws would matter little.
”I see... To think that I would see two heavenly Fragment owners together. Last time I saw one was over 5 years ago.”
Krune and Feifei's attention was picked. Of course, because it was over 5 years ago, it probably meant that this owner wasn't someone from Luvile Universe.
”You have seen one before?”
Laex nodded.
”He was someone from a Universe called Jirai. At that time, he was only at the Core Formation Realm. Still, his combat power was something that I would never be able to copy when I was in the same cultivation level. I also heard about a few other Heavenly Fragment owners from other Universes that entered Dalin.”
”Still, the majority would refrain from leaving their own Universe. After all, you never know what could happen when you separate yourself from your own background.”
Feifei and Krune understood this part. Most likely, the only reason the others came to Dalin was that they fled here to start with.
But Laex next words left Krune and Feifei puzzled.
”It seems like everyone is already preparing for the Heavenly Competition.”
Krune and Feifei had never heard about it, even from Cinty.
”What is the Heavenly Competition?”
Laex was surprised by the fact that Krune and Feifei didn't know.
”Wait, isn't that the reason why you came to Dalin Universe?”
Krune and Feifei looked at each other and shook their heads.
Krune then opened his communicator and called Cinty. Since it was just a video call, Laex wouldn't be able to tell what Realm she was, so it was fine if he saw that.
”Cinty, have you heard about something called Heavenly Competition?”
Cinty confirmed on the other side.
”Sure, what about it?”
Krune and Feifei were speechless.
”Shouldn't it have something to do with our Heavenly Fragments?”
Cinty confirmed once again.
”Yes and no. Only those who get a Heavenly Core, or better, Heavenly Divine Soul can take part in it. But you and Feifei will never give your Heavenly Fragments to the other, right? So neither of you will ever have a Heavenly Divine Soul to start with. In that case, what is the point in talking about the Heavenly Competition?”
Not only Krune and Feifei, but even Laex was also surprised by that. Of course, the reason Laex was surprised was totally different from Krune and Feifei.
”Right! How can I have forgotten this?! If you two are from the same Universe, then one of you must lose your Divine Soul so that you can get the Heavenly Fragment.”
It was then that Feifei and Krune understood the crux of the issue. Since they are not doing that, then this so-called Heavenly Competition has nothing to do with them to start with. That's why Cinty hasn't told them anything.
”We are not. Be it Feifei or me, we are definitely not taking the other's Heavenly Fragment. In fact, our plan is to destroy one of them so that the other side will give up taking it.”
Laex was taken aback by that.
”Is it possible to destroy a Heavenly Fragment? At the very least, I've never heard about a Heavenly Fragment being destroyed, only their owners.”
Krune shrugged his shoulders.
”I don't know, but it worth a try.”
Feifei was still curious, though.
”Anyway. Even if we don't get a Heavenly Divine Soul, I still wish to know what this Heavenly Competition is.”
Cinty sighed and then explained through the monitor.
”Well, the Dalin Universe has several Universe Powerhouses managing it. But when you put all the Universes in that we know, the Powerhouses' number can't even be considered a number at all. So if they really decide to monopolize Dalin, things might get out of control if thousands of other Universes decide to join forces to take it away from them. That's where the Heavenly Competition comes in.”
Laex nodded.
”She is right. In total, there are 5 slots opened for other Universes to become one of those controlling Dalin. Also, the Heavenly Fragment Owners always appear at the same time in all the Universes. Of course, no one knows why they appear together. Anyway, as you probably know, a Heavenly Divine Soul cultivator or demon beast is considered the strongest of their own Universes. So they will be their own Universes representatives in this competition.”
Cinty confirmed that Laex was telling the truth.
”That goes to show just how much of a heaven-defying treasure Dalin is considered to be. Dalin is basically the only Universe that has ever been found to have these special properties about cultivation and Laws. A Universe that is in control of Dalin is bound to get several times stronger until the next Heavenly Competition starts. So it goes without saying that everyone wants to have their Heavenly Divine Soul cultivators and demon beasts ready for it.”
Cinty then repeated herself.
”Still, it has nothing to do with you. After all, you won't ever get a Heavenly Divine Soul. Remember, Havenly Fragments from other Universes are useless to you. A Heavenly Divine Core or Soul can only be completed with the Heavenly Fragments of that specific Universe.”
