532 Time to Go (1/2)

Sometime later, Feifei and Cinty went back to their own things. Krune also left Heavin alone since there wasn't anything else he could do anymore. Krune then spent his next days to fully recover the missing part of his Divine Soul. Once it was back to normal, he noticed that his connection with it was at 100%.

As mentioned in the past, Krune had to reduce the connection with his Divine Soul. Otherwise, Heavin would fall into a slumber since he lost control over it. Now, however, Krune didn't even try to take control. It was as if it had been like this from the very start.

'I guess that's how it was supposed to be if Heavin wasn't there.'

Krune went into a Dimensional Realm where he could test his power. Sure enough, he didn't have to pay attention to the connection anymore. If stayed like that on its own. Krune is a lot stronger when using his Divine Soul like this. It's just that when Heavin became able to fight with the Parrot Puppet, it was a lot better to fight together than fight alone. Heavin's sneak attacks had helped Krune several times in the past.

Krune kept using his power for a while longer. Finally, he reached the conclusion that the connection with his Divine Soul couldn't be weakened anymore. Even if he tried, it simply didn't work.

”Good!”

Krune finished his practice and returned to the Time Formation. He then focused on his cultivation while he waited for Heavin to wake up. With the help of Godly Energy, Krune had already advanced into the 6th Stage of the Divine Path Realm. He still has another year in there, or four months outside, to cultivate peacefully.

Another week quickly passed. Suddenly, Krune felt like he could feel a presence. When he looked at its direction, he noticed it was coming from the place where Heavin was staying.

'It was about time.'

Krune quickly arrived inside Heavin's Puppet Workshop and noticed the Soul Recipient floating in the air. It was also possible to see a lot of Spiritual Energy quickly rushing inside it without stopping.

”Seems like you can already focus on healing you Divine Soul, uh?”

Heavin heard that and used his Spiritual Sense to look at Krune.

”Hahaha! Yeap! I thought about giving you guys a surprise when I was finished, but it seems like you noticed the moment I woke up.”

Krune nodded.

”The Divine Soul, where your consciousness and memories are staying, is still part of my own Divine Soul, after all. I could feel your presence the moment you came back.

Heavin agreed with Krune.

”In fact, I can also feel your presence because of it. I guess this is good since we can tell where each other are at any moment. Anyway, have you checked your Divine Soul, can you use it at full power without me?”

Krune nodded.

”Everything is fine on my side. The connection is fully established. Believe it or not, I can't weaken it even if I wanted.”

This connection was at a completely different level of what Heavin had used until now. So far, Heavin had been using his Divine Sense to control the Parrot Puppet, but this time he used Soul Energy. It connected the Puppet directly to his soul, making it feel like Heavin was really the Puppet itself instead of the soul inside only.

”Hum... it feels quite cranky... It will take some time before I get used to it.”

Krune didn't find it strange but decided to ask anyway.

”Is everything okay with your Divine Soul? You only have a small part of it, after all.”

Heavin's Phoenix Head nodded at Krune.

”It's okay. Given enough time, I can make it regrow to be as big as the main one. Since it was a part of a whole, it will eventually try to restore its former self. Well, it won't be anything fast, though.”

Krune didn't mind.

”As long as you can recover, that is fine. Let's go, Feifei has been worried about you. You should show your face to her first.”

Heavin nodded, and the two left the time formation.

That night, everyone commemorated Heavin's recovery and his new freedom. From now on, he had no need to follow Krune everywhere. He could move wherever he wanted. However, he couldn't be considered part of Krune's anymore. That also meant that Krune couldn't bring him into the Heavenly Competition. There is no way he can say that he is the one controlling it with all the Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts watching.
