Chapter 592: Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher (1/2)

Suddenly, Krune felt that he understood something.

”I see... Senior Iridia said that you gained sentience and escaped the control of the elders of the Emukran Sect. That much is true. However, something bothered me ever since I heard that you remained in this place. Senior Iridia said that it's because this was the best hiding place for you, that no one would bother you here either. But that's not true, right? After all, who would stay in this place hidden from heavens for 50 thousand years? Especially since you had just gained your sentience back then. Just how boring must it be for a newly born sentience to stay put like this?”

Zule couldn't help but laugh out loud.

”Impressive. That's correct. I'm not staying here because I want to hide from the dangers outside. No, I'm locked here, just like everyone else. I simply can't leave even if I wanted to.”

Iem narrowed his eyes.

”Mind explaining?”

Zule nodded his little head.

”The things that you heard that I used the disciples at that time as hostages to gain time to seal this place were true. Although I didn't kill anyone, I condemned them to be locked with me for eternity. Well, eternity is not the right word since they couldn't achieve an unlimited lifespan while in this place. They all left descendants behind and have long since perished.”

”To be honest, whether they died or not matters little to me. They were about to join the sect that wanted to keep me sealed in this place, so why should I feel sorry for them? I'm already being very benevolent for not killing them. Anyway, the initial plan was to lock this place down and then send everyone out. Even though I don't care if they died or not, it would be better to not buy a fight with their backgrounds for no reason. After all, there were quite a few famous powers behind some of those kids.”

”After that, I would use my spatial powers to move this dimension away. As long as I carried this dimension, I would be able to go anywhere without anyone finding me. It was really a win-win situation. The kids and that elder would go back to their normal lives while I would gain my freedom. As to what the Emukran Sect would do after that, I couldn't care less.”

”Unfortunately, someone intervened during the most critical conjuncture. During the time I was finishing separating this Dimension from Zamaria Planet, it was struck by a power beyond the capabilities of a Nascent God. Without a doubt, it must have been someone from the God Realm. That's because I felt like I was being sucked away from the Godly Path Realm.”

Krune felt that something was wrong.

”That doesn't make sense. Beings of the God Realm are much stronger than any Nascent God Realm cultivator of the Godly Path Realm. If they could really reach the Godly Path Realm to take a Heavenly Fragment that was used in a Treasure, then they might as well find a Heavenly Core Equipment. Was there a need to select you? If anything, I would find treasures with a complete Heavenly Core a lot more enticing. Considering the power of a cultivator or demon beast of the God Realm, he or she shouldn't have difficulty finding Heavenly Core Treasure owners here in the Godly Path Realm. Those people with such equipment would definitely be famous, after all.”

Iem was taken aback. Indeed, aiming for Zule didn't make much sense. It would be a lot better to target those higher-level treasures with entire Heavenly Cores into them.

Zule, on the other hand, couldn't help but sigh.

”It seems like you don't know this. That's to be expected, though. You just arrived in this Godly Path Realm, after all. The Heavenly Cores and Fragments that come in the Godly Path Realm can't be taken away by the God Realm by force. Even if one of those treasure owners ascends, they must leave the Heavenly Fragment or Core Treasures behind too.”

Krune and Iem got confused.

”Why is that?”

Zule then answered.

”That's because if you try to bring it with you, your God Realm ascension tribulation will suffer the same effect as the Heavenly Fragment and Core owners. Their Tribulation will be several times stronger. I might as well tell you that the chances of ordinary cultivators and demon beasts ascending are around 1%. I believe that the lower realms are the same. 1% is already frightening enough. Let alone making it even harder by bringing that Heavenly Fragment and Core with you.”

Krune couldn't help but ask.

”There is something I don't understand. The reason Heavenly Fragments and Cores' owners have harder ascension tribulations is that the Universes those fragments and cores originated from are trying to prevent it from escaping to the higher realms. However, once you are here in the Godly Path Realm, you lose the connection with those Universes of the Lower Realms. Logically, your Tribulation shouldn't be affected anymore. However, you are telling me that you also get harder ascension tribulations if you try to bring it to the God Realm. Why is that? Could it be that the Heavenly Fragments and Cores didn't really get their connection with the Lower Realms cut?”

Zule shook his head.

”It's nothing like that. The Mortal Realm Universes' Heavens aren't strong enough to intervene with the Heavens of a Higher Realm. Just like you said, they got their connection cut. However, Heavenly Fragments and Cores are still part of one of the Heavens. Since those Heavenly Fragments and Cores can't connect with their previous Heavens anymore, what do you think they will do?”

Krune understood where Zule was coming from.

”So you are saying that the Heavenly Fragments and Cores are now connected to the Godly Path Realm Heavens, correct?”

Zule nodded.

”That's basically it. To make things simple, in a certain way, those Fragments and Cores changed their allegiance. That also includes my Space Heavenly Fragment.”
