540 I Have Nothing to do With I (2/2)

”There are several flaws in this plan. Maybe we won't be able to distinguish which side is north. Maybe many participants also thought the same thing and will go there as well, which would make things more dangerous. We don't even know if this world is a planet to start with. It might even be just a huge flat land that extends for tens of thousands of kilometers.”

Laka found all that conversation too annoying, so he simply asked.

”Everything we have in the real world will be replicated outside. In that case, just take this.”

Laka then passed a small red pearl to each one of them. Immediately, Hanan and Krune felt a little embarrassed. That's true, Norzulun really said that anything they have can be replicated inside. Locally speaking, you can obviously use tracking spiritual equipments as long as you have it. Laka's three red beads could be used precisely for this purpose.

”Cough, cough. In that case, I also have one here.”

Hanan looked away as he spoke.

”I have one too...”

They exchanged their own searching equipments and then entered the pod. As long as the distance between themselves isn't higher than an average solar system, they will be able to find each other. If that doesn't work... well, they will simply rely on themselves and make temporary groups with the cultivators and demon beasts they find.

All the other groups did the same and entered the pods eventually. Once all the pods sank into the white light pool, their souls were dragged into the Soul world together... or so it was supposed to happen.

For some reason, one of the pods was having some difficulty in bringing a certain wisp's Soul out.

Norzulun looked at the Formations Masters, puzzled. If Krune's Soul is not dragged out, the second phase simply can't start. The Soul World would only appear after all the competitors were ready to enter.

The Formations Masters immediately checked what was happening. In the end, they could only smile bitterly.

”There is nothing wrong with the Soul World Pods, it's just that... his Soul is too strong. The pod doesn't have enough 'strength' to pull it out of his body.”

Wally, who had been observing on the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

”Hahaha! As expected of my little friend, he really is in another league altogether.”

Norzulun's mouth twitched, but he didn't answer Wally's words. Instead, he looked at the Formations Masters and demanded.

”Then do something! Increase the power of the formation or whatever. We can't wait forever.”

The Formations Masters complied with the order and immediately dived into the Protection Formation. As for Krune, he was utterly puzzled.

”Was it supposed to take this long to start?”

The wisp... didn't even notice that the pod already tried to take his Soul out.

Although everyone felt that something was wrong, they could only wait. Norzulun said that they have run into a small problem, and the Formations Masters are working on getting it resolved. Fortunately, Krune was the only one in that situation, so the Formations Masters were able to work on it pretty fast.

Only when the Krune's Pod's formation was strengthened for souls at the Initial Stages of the Semi-Divinity Level, did it finally pull Krune's Soul into the Soul World Formation.

However, none of the Dalin Management elders or Norzulun were happy about this. The pod was now working at a level where it could pull out an average 1st Stage Semi-Divinity Realm cultivator or demon beast's Soul!

The participants were expected to have much stronger souls than average, that much they already expected. After all, the majority that reached this phase are all Heavenly Divine Soul owners. There are almost no Heavenly Fragment ones. That being said, their Souls were already expected to be at the Divine View Realm level.

To make sure things would work well, the pods were made so that they could drag out even Late Stages Divine View Realm cultivators and demon beasts. They thought that it didn't matter how strong the participants' Souls were, they couldn't possibly jump an entire realm in strength. Well, there was one wisp who did it. Krune's Soul Power is equivalent to an average Peak Divine View Realm!

Norzulun and the elders couldn't help but look at Wally.

'What kind of monster did you create?'

However, Wally innocently looked away.

”You guys are looking in the wrong direction, I have nothing to do with it.”
