Chapter 878: I’ll Call You Little Krune (1/2)
”…Dad?” the voice asked through sending Godly Energy. Though, before Krune could feel joy at saving the demon beast baby, he noticed something odd about their connection. It felt…way too close.
Moreover, the baby's voice resounded non-stop after that. ”Mom? Brother? Sister? Only Krune?”
”What the…” Krune stared as the baby completed his sentence.
”…heck?”
It was then that he noticed the issue, recalling the words of the Primal God from before. While he was saving the demon beast baby, he placed its body in his ethereal form, treating it as a cocoon that would help nurture the baby and prevent it from dying.
In this case, due to numerous reasons where he had kept every law he had ever comprehended active, that established the first condition. Even though the laws he had kept active were just the Calamity and Balance Law, since they were a collection of every law in existence, as long as he kept them active, it meant he was using all the laws—his laws.
The second was the fact that all of them were directed at the baby. And, when it absorbed all his laws, he had achieved the second condition. As for the final condition, it was achieved when the baby's body transformed into an energy form as it synchronized with himself.
Normally, this was bound to be done in his body. But, Wisps had no body, only a core. So, through an uncountable number of factors at play, most of which he was unsure about, the baby had become part of his body in a way as a result, finally achieving through sheer luck what he had set out to achieve since long ago.
Spiritual Incarnation!
The baby was his Spiritual Incarnation. Normally speaking, Spiritual Incarnations were a concept derived from a collection of laws the cultivator had comprehended and were meshed together in a certain way.
But in Krune's case, not only was his Spiritual Incarnation not part of him, it was also sentient. His Spiritual Incarnation was alive. Irrespective of who it might be, none of them possessed a Spiritual Incarnation like him, an incarnation that had its own sentience.
Krune and the baby were two in one. The only difference was the fact the baby looked like him, but younger with all his memories and experiences. They had shared thoughts, but the difference was in their emotional maturity.
Krune was at his usual self while the baby had the emotional maturity of a baby. That was the only difference.
The moment it was formed, the baby fused with his Wisp Core and made the core a part of itself. Now, even if his Wisp Core was shattered, Krune wouldn't die. He would easily revive later thanks to the laws forming his Spiritual Incarnation.
The more he thought about it, the more he began to learn the functions of the Spiritual Incarnation. It was a strange feeling. It seemed like he was encountering it for the first time, but it also seemed like he had known of it from the start.
This was the first time Krune felt as close with himself. The baby first had a demon beast form, the same that it had when it possessed a fleshly body. Then, it changed itself to match a baby version of his human form, though just in shape. It was ethereal in nature.
The moment the baby fused into his Wisp Core, Krune grasped the basics of what his Spiritual Incarnation allowed him to do.
It was related to the Wisps. The baby Krune was basically a Wisp, another him. He now possessed two minds to think and operate. As they shared thoughts, they were perfectly in sync.
This was different from the Mind Splitting Technique. There, his total thinking capacity was still at the same level. He was only splitting his focus into multiple places and maintained them without losing concentration.
Now, he had two actual minds to think and brood over stuff. On top of that, he could use the Mind Splitting Technique on both minds. This was the same as attaching wings to a tiger.
The baby Krune was also able to cultivate, just like him. The only thing that hindered its cultivation was his own cultivation base. The maximum cultivation it could reach was Krune's current cultivation base.
Once Krune improved his cultivation, he would be able to cultivate once again. So, this gave Krune twice the amount of Godly Energy he normally possessed. It was a major advantage, the likes that would give him an edge over others when he visited places like the Immortal Suppression Zone once again.
This was just the base advantage the baby Krune gave him. As for the actual effects, it left Krune at a loss for words, making him wonder just how it was possible.
In the case he unleashes his Land Incarnation, a certain area around him would transform and be shaped by the laws he had unleashed. These laws would alter the land while pushing out all the other laws active in the surroundings.
Not only that, but once his Land Incarnation became active, it would absorb energy from Heaven and Earth to produce Pseudo-Wisps. In other words, copies of himself.
