Chapter 811: The First Key (1/2)
Several people and beasts of other Universes remained in the Lokrathos Universe to see what they could take from this abandoned Universe. However, the population wouldn't leave their best things behind, so there wasn't much to be found, to begin with.
In this same Universe, Krune's group had appeared once again. Because Luvile knew where it was, they could head back straight to it.
”Let's go see Zule.”
It didn't take long before they arrived at the massive black hole once more. The buildings were still there together with the formation. However, it had been turned off and began to gradually fall apart little by little. There were a few cultivators and demon beasts from other Universes checking it, with Krune's group looking like it was just one more. Of course, Arminia made sure to not leave anything they needed behind.
The others ignored Krune's group since they thought they came here for the same reason.
Krune and the others eventually arrived at the hall after that. There were two more cultivators talking there, with them noticing when they arrived.
”You arrived late. We didn't find any clue about where the Lokrathos people and beasts went, nor was there anything left behind.”
Krune smiled, not minding it at all.
”It's fine.”
Following that, Krune stopped in the middle of the hall before saying.
”Zule, we're here.”
Suddenly, a distortion in space appeared before it engulfed Krune and the others. Before those two guys could say anything, Krune's group disappeared together with the distortion.
”What?!”
”Where did they go?”
They used their Divine Senses to check the room before them, but there was nothing there. In the end, they could only look puzzled at each other, not knowing what to do.
Back at Krune's side, everyone appeared in front of the Lokrathos Universe's Foundation, where Zule was waiting.
”Have you finished everything?”
Luvile nodded.
”We sent them all to Dalin already.”
”What about the rest who remained?”
Zule sighed as he said.
”There's nothing we can do for them. A Universe is still a Universe. It would take ages to find every single one of them and force them out. We can only hope they understand the risks and leave it before Lokrathos collapses. As for those who don't have the cultivators to go, I'll give them a little help with the key's power and send them straight into planets of other Universes. It would be impossible with the entire population, but the little that remains won't be that hard.”
Krune and Feifei were happy to hear that. They thought they would need to leave them behind to die along with the Universe. Of course, many of those who stayed did that because they didn't want to leave. However, Krune and Feifei didn't just want to leave them off to die.
”Krune, Luvile, this is the last time I'll be talking with you. Once the key is removed, my will wouldn't be able to stay.”
Krune was taken aback.
”Really?”
”Yes. There's nothing I can do about it. However, don't worry. This is just my will. My real body and soul is still out there, waiting for the day you all come and pay me a visit.”
Krune and Luvile nodded. Soon, Krune said
”Very well, we will get there.”
Zule was satisfied with the answer.
”Well, then...”
Not long after, the planet-sized crystal began to shine brightly. Together with it, the entire Universe Foundation started to tremble nonstop. After some time, several cracks appeared on the roots of the foundation attached to the giant crystal.
At some point, the crystal released a tremendous amount of Spatial and Spiritual Energy that followed its connection to the entire Universe. Those powers traveled all around in the background of the Universe in a matter of seconds due to the Spatial Laws in it.
Outside the Universe Foundation, all the cultivators and demon beasts at the Divinity Realm from other Universes noticed this change. The fabric of space began to crack all around them, giving the feeling that space itself would break apart.
”It's here! The Universe is really coming to its end.”
”Let's get out, quickly! No one can survive a Universe's destruction!”
”Fuck! I still didn't find anything valuable!”
However, these were the only types who had the power to leave the Universe on their own. In their case, Zule completely ignored their existence. Instead, he focused on all the other lives that refused to leave the Universe, the ones who were not found, and those who didn't have the power to do so.
In places where many were gathered, small Spatial Gates began to appear and swallow everyone against their own will before closing. Before they knew it, they were already on the surface of some foreign planet in one of the surrounding universes.
