Chapter 798: Evil Spirit (2/2)

Krune shrugged his shoulder before explaining.

”That's quite simple. Once someone reaches the Divine Path Realm, they gain unlimited lifespan, right?”

Everyone nodded and waited for Krune to continue.

”Considering his strength, the evil spirit definitely surpassed the Divine Path Realm. Well, we don't even know if it was a spirit or not, just that it was alive. Anyway, the point is that everyone will continue to cultivate whether they want to or not.”

”Now then, we already heard about how the Heavenly Core Owners stop cultivating so they can stay and protect their Universes for as long as possible. Still, it would usually take around twenty chaos cycles until they reach the Peak of the Divinity Realm while holding their cultivation back.”

”Tell me, just how many chaos cycles has it been since the so-called 'Evil Spirit' was sealed? Tens of thousands! It doesn't matter how slow the evil spirit's cultivation was or how much it held back its own cultivation. Only two things were left to him.”

”The first one, it survived the ascension tribulation and went to the Godly Path Realm. Or two, it didn't survive the ascension tribulation and died.”

Feifei found something strange while listening to Krune's words.

”Wait a second. Can someone ascend from the underworld directly to the Godly Path Realm?”

Soren was the one to answer that question.

”I think you have a misconception here, little lady. Although we use the term 'ascension,' it doesn't really mean we are going 'up.' That's not how the Four Realms work. First of all, have you heard about any rule saying that you can only ascend from the Mortal Realm to the Godly Path Realm?”

Feifei felt a little embarrassed but nodded in the end. Indeed. No one ever said anything like that. She simply assumed that it was the case.

Krune patted Feifei's head with a smile, making Feifei feel like he was treating her like a kid. Well... she did like it...

Krune then continued.

”If I'm not wrong, that is the same reason why the Universe Powerhouses of that time left. There's no way that the evil spirit would be in the underworld anymore, so why should they protect this place? Luvile Universe was already considered to be a distant universe, so none of those powerhouses wanted to stay here. Naturally, it became a forgotten universe once again as time passed.”

Tika, Lue, and Hule nodded their heads.

”Krune's right. That's why we also tried to take the body several times.”

Heavin then asked something else.

”In that case, why did the Universe Powerhouses leave Luvile's body behind? It had an unlimited amount of Purple Tribulation Lightning, right? Would they really leave it be just like that?”

Tika and the others shook their heads.

”We are not sure about the answer to that. However, we do have a theory. The Sacred Lands tried to take the body for our benefit many, many times. Unfortunately, it's just too hard. If we are not wrong, it was not that the Universe Powerhouses left it behind, but rather, they couldn't take it. The seal turned out to be so strong that they couldn't undo it anymore. Without any other choice, they were forced to leave.”

Everyone nodded. That made sense since it had to be strong enough to seal the evil spirit. They couldn't risk making it weak enough so that they could retrieve the body later. If they did, there would be a chance that the evil spirit would escape. They simply couldn't risk that.

Soren finally nodded, satisfied. That basically answered all his questions.

”Very well, your answers are satisfactory. With that, you can leave. We need to retrieve this body now.”

Tika and the others were a little unwilling to do so. If Soren could really break the seal, wouldn't they be losing the body they wished to have after so long?

Soren saw that those Sacred Lands were static and narrowed his eyes.

”What? Do you want it as well? Forget it. Unlike you guys, I have a real use for it. I'll give you ten seconds to leave this place. You should know what will happen to all of you if I get upset.”

Tika and the others felt a chill on their back. Without saying anything else, they immediately turned around and left. After going far enough, they opened their own Spatial Gates before leaving.

Feifei and the others could already imagine what the Sacred Lands would do.

”They're probably going to tell the Universe Powerhouses about it.”

Soren didn't care, though.

”Forget those ants. Let's go.”
