Chapter 698: Keys (2/2)

”That I don't know. But if I were to guess, they still have an idea of what happened the last time the Gods tried to escape. That being said, they know that trying to force their way out will not work, so they started to look for another way again. Perhaps, they bumped into one of my keys during this time, which allowed them to understand what they needed to do. Of course, this is just a theory.”

Krune then thought about something else.

”Back then, Sentoi asked you to help stop the Gods. But if they are looking for the keys, is there really a point in stopping them?”

Luvile went silent for a second.

”Well, perhaps Sentoi had no idea that the Gods were looking for the keys, so he was afraid of them trying to destroy the doors by force once more.”

Zule had another idea, instantly telling them about it.

”I don't know who that Sentoi is, but anyway, that might not be the case.”

”What do you mean?”

Zule sighed and explained.

”Well... I think it's already a miracle that they found those two keys. I was the one who hid them, you know? I can guarantee that it won't be easy to find the other two. That being said, Sentoi might know about the keys. However, the Gods in the God Realm might not be willing to wait until they find the other two. Maybe they think that having two is already enough.”

Luvile and the others went silent for a second.

”That is a possibility. However, there should be no reason for Sentoi to not tell me about that back in the Holy Land.”

Iem couldn't help but ask.

”Well, it doesn't matter anymore, right? Zule can control his... Kun-Peng's power once more. He can simply tell us where the keys are now. No, even better than that, can't he use his power to simply open the doors? After all, he is at a realm far above the Gods. Perhaps, he can bring everyone out without even needing to use the exit at all. Zule said it before, didn't he? If we wanted to leave the Four Realms without using the exit, we would need to have cultivations far above the Gods in the God Realm. That's exactly what he is at right now.”

Luvile, Harold, and Krune couldn't help but admit that Iem was right.

However, Zule immediately shook his head.

”At most, I can tell you where the other two keys can be found. Other than that, there is nothing much I can do.”

Obviously, that statement took them by surprise.

”Could it be that you can't control Kun-Peng's body?”

Zule shook his head.

”No, I can control my... his body. Gah, fuck it! It's becoming annoying to separate me from Kun-Peng every time I talk. It's not wrong to say that I'm also Kun-Peng, so let's just roll it.”

”Anyway, I can control my body and use its power. It's also not wrong to say that I'm far above any of the Gods in the God Realm in cultivation. However, I can't intervene in these things. At the moment, my body is in a hibernating state, so its power is not affecting the Four Realms. However, the moment I decide to awaken it, I must leave straight away.”

Krune understood where Zule was coming from.

”I see. It is the same thing as the cultivation restriction when we enter a fragile Dimensional Realm. Some of those Realms can't support the existence of high-level cultivators and demon beasts. Obviously, the Four Realms can't support Kun-Peng's cultivation once it awakes.”

But it was then that Krune remembered something.

”Wait. During the time that Luvile and Harold's parents were alive, you were not sleeping. In fact, once you arrived here, you probably weren't at your limit yet. Since that's the case, how come the Four Realms could hold your existence? No, not only that but Luvile and Harold said that there are records of the existence of other Primordial Demon Beasts in the past inside the Four Realms. Also, didn't you say that the Four Realms were created by you and the other Primordial Demon Beasts and some other helpers? Why were the Four Realms capable of holding all of your existences before but can't do it anym- ah!”

Only then did Krune notice where the issue lay.

Zule smiled at Krune's realization.

”It seems like you understand why it happened.”

Zule's projection then looked at both Krune and Iem. No, to be more specific, it was as if his eyes could pierce through them and look directly at Luvile and Harold.

”Ohhhh~~ It's so baddd~~ If some 'CERTAIN' Gods didn't try to escape by force before, almost destroying the Four Realms' foundations, I wouldn't be in this predicament. But noooooo~~ they wanted to leave, so they tried it. Those 'CERTAIN' Gods made the Four Realms' foundations a lot more fragile than it was in the past. Such a pity, such a pity~~...”

If Luvile and Harold had bodies at the moment, even their stats as Gods wouldn't be able to cover their red faces.

”Ahem... we won't do that anymore...”

Zule nodded before saying.

”Well said, kids.”
