Chapter 594: Separation (1/2)

”Alright, what do we need to do?”

Zule nodded before explaining.

”I used the power of the formations to attach the treasure to the Dimensional Realm. Now, I'm connected to them. What I need to you do is to cut the source of the Formations' power, which means Godly Energy.”

Krune and Iem looked around and felt like it wasn't going to be easy. This place just had way too much Godly Energy. How can they cut the power?

Zule understood what they were thinking.

”I receive Godly Energy from outside directly here. Look at the aperture above me, can you see that small disk?”

The looked up, and sure enough, there was an azure blue disk right above Zule. They got close to it so that their Divine Sense could check it. One must remember that this Tower blocks Divine Sense, so Krune and Iem couldn't bring it far from their bodies. Finally, they were able to notice the amount of Godly Energy passing through that small disk. It was kind of bad luck for Zule. The disk didn't seem to be hard to block, but he was utterly helpless even though it was this close.

Zule had the power to control the space in the Dimensional Realm, but the Tower was built to prevent anyone outside from using Space Type skills on it. In the end, this power that protects the Tower also made Zule powerless to block the flow of Godly Energy too.

As for destroying the Tower from outside, that was even more of an impossibility. The Tower was created to guard a Heavenly Fragment Treasure, so the residents of the city were far from being strong enough to cause any damage to it.

Then it came the worst part. No one could ascend to the last floor because of the pressure left behind by Zule's treasure itself.

In the end, he had to wait for someone with a Heavenly Fragment or Core to appear on the planet his Dimensional Realm was located. Only then did he use his Spatial Powers to intercept Krune and Iem's teleport, bringing them into the trial.

Another thing was that Zule was limited by the formations of the Tower as well. That meant that he couldn't intervene with what happened inside the city since those formations considered the residents as trial takers even today.

”How do we stop the flow of Godly Energy?”

Zule simply said.

”Any Seal is okay. It doesn't need to be a strong one, either. As long as it can stop the flow of Godly Energy for a day, the Formations will lose their power. That will be more than enough for me to get rid of this fusion with the formations of the Tower.”

Krune then looked at Iem. After all, he knew a lot more about formations than Krune. The Seal would be better if Iem was the one to make it. Iem also nodded and stepped forward. He then took several materials that he was using to practice Formations in the Formations Guild out.

Still, this place was full of formations as well. Not to mention that the flow of Godly Energy was very high and kinda chaotic because of them. Without a doubt, Iem would need a lot of time before being able to create the Seal.

While Iem occupied himself with that, Krune decided to ask something else to Zule.

”While I was outside in the city, I felt like you were calling me. However, Iem didn't seem like he was being called. Why is that?”

Zule smiled.

”That's because you are a Heavenly Fragment Owner. This is something I only know because I'm a Sentience born from a Heavenly Fragment. I can tell that just like my own, your Heavenly Fragments also wish to find and fuse with the others. It's kind of a natural instinct of the Heavenly Fragments. That's why I could use it to call your Fragments as well.”

Krune nodded. That made some sense, after all.

”What are you going to do after that? Are you going to bring the Dimensional Realm away to travel like you were planning before?”

Zule shook his head.

”I already know what I'm going to do, you will see.”

Krune and Zule kept talking about other things after that.

Time passed, and soon, three days went by.

Back in the lower floors, the elders and other members of the towers had already returned. Soon, they noticed that Krune and Iem were nowhere to be found. However, just as they were about to investigate, the elders saw Iridia coming down from the thirteenth floor for the first time in over a thousand years.

”Elder Iridia!”

They all bowed to her. The truth was that the oldest elders knew about what happened in the past. Iridia didn't know when her foundation would crumble, so she made sure to pass their history on. However, this story stopped being shared outside. It all became legends there. Most didn't even believe it anymore after so long.

The elders didn't make any effort to make everyone remember the truth either. That's because it was a lot worse to know that there was a life outside these cave walls, but they could never have it.

Iridia then nodded at the few elders who knew her and looked at the ones who saw her for the first time. Although the others had never seen her before, they at least knew about her existence. She was supposed to be someone who surpassed the Transformation Realm and had an unlimited lifespan.
