Is that a Wisp?

Time passed, and a week later, Falo returned to the room where Krune's group was staying. However, he wasn't alone. Together with him, they could see another three elders.

Right after, the formations locking Krune, Iem, and Sisan down were lifted, allowing them to move once more.

"First, let me introduce them. Their names are Jamot, Suelen, and Varkin, the leaders of the Celestial Sky, Weapons, and Energy Organizations."

Krune's group looked at each other and then back at the group.

"Hello, I'm Krune."

"Iem here."

"Seniors can call me Sisan."

Falo nodded.

"Good. First, let's get out of here. This isn't the best place to talk."

Krune's group smiled as they agreed with Falo.

As soon as they stepped out of the room, they all felt the intense concentration of Godly Energy. Before, Eason was shielding them from it as a precaution. But now, they could finally see where all the Planet's Godly Energy was being kept.

"Impressive, the Godly Energy here is so concentrated that it might be on par with the Top Quality Godly Energy Vein."

Falo didn't know the Godly Energy Vein, but he agreed that it was a lot as well.

"You probably guessed it already. We used the four Celestial Protection Formation's Cores to also seal most of the Godly Energy of the planet inside the Celestial Organizations. Obviously, Godly Energy in those four places is very thick."

Sisan couldn't help but ask.

"Why did you do that? The others outside can't surpass the 1st Stage of the Transformation Realm after arriving at the Peak of the Divinity Realm anymore because of that."

Iem also added.

"Could it be that you were afraid of losing your positions of power?"

Suelen, the leader of the Celestial Energy Organization, smiled after hearing that.

"Sure enough, that's what most would think when they heard about that. In fact, I believe that there are indeed many between us who think that way too. However, that was not the only reason behind this action."

"First, we need to make sure that there is enough Godly Energy to keep the Celestial Protection Formation running. If we let the Godly Energy Spread evenly, there will not be enough Godly Energy in the surroundings of the Cores. We need to keep it focused in a single place to assure its smooth work."

Iem immediately shook his head.

"All you needed to do was to change the Formation so that it would absorb Godly Energy on its entire extent. The cores would still be necessary, but you wouldn't need to keep all Godly Energy locked in the four organizations."

Varkin agreed with Iem.

"That's true. However, how will you do that?"

"This..."

Sure enough, even Iem didn't know how to do it. This Formation was far above what he could touch at the moment.

"Since you built this Formation, you should be able to change it as well, no?"

Varkin nodded and shook his head right after.

"This Formation has been working for a very long time. At the moment, other than the repairing methods that have been in use for so long, no one knows how it works 100%. Sure, we have Formations Masters that could attempt to change it the way you just said. After all, we still have most of the blueprints. However, what if they fail in the modification and the Formation Breaks?"

Iem had to admit that it was true. Changing planetary formations is easier said than done. As skilled as the Formations Masters might be, there is no guarantee that they would be successful. The problem comes from 'what if they fail and break it?' Naturally, no one in the Celestial Organizations was willing to risk it out.

However, it was at this moment that Jamot laughed out loud.

"They aren't lying that no one wishes to risk it. However, it is also true that half of the reason is that neither of our Organizations wishes for other powers to emerge. We are in a very comfortable position as we are now, and none of the influent clans inside the Celestial Organizations want to lose it. Don't get fooled, kids. We are also being selfish here."

No one in Krune's group seemed impressed by those words, though. In fact, Krune, Sisan, and Iem felt a lot better now that they admitted this much. They didn't believe that the Celestial Organizations were just being good samaritans.

"Alright, we arrived."

Krune's group was brought into a big room where several other elders of the Celestial Organizations were present. However, other than them, there was also the group from the Three Peaks Sect, Dolmen's group.

Immediately, Krune's group expression changed. After all, they were only captured because these guys told the Celestial Organizations about them. If not for that, they would still be happily collecting Fire Essence and would leave a few days later in a breeze.

Right after, Iem couldn't help but ask.

"Would you mind if I killed them?"

Dolmen snorted after hearing that. Obviously, he didn't know Iem's real strength.

"Do you think you have what it takes to defeat me?"

"I do. It won't take more than a few instants before you drop dead."

"Then why don't you try?"

Just as these two were about to attack each other, someone else intervened.

"Enough!"

A powerful pressure then came down, locking those two in place. In front of God Core Realm experts, they weren't anything at all. The one who did that was Jamot, the leader of th Celestial Sky Organization.

"We didn't bring both of you here so that you could resolve your issues. It is true that we only found Krune's group because Dolmen's one opened their mouths. However, don't come at me and say that Krune's group wouldn't do the same in their place. After all, it is evident that your two sides are enemies outside."

Iem and Dolmen then calmed down and sat on two different sides of the room with their groups.

"We already asked everything we wanted to know about the conditions outside to you. We also paired both your pieces of information together to make sure that they would match. I'm happy to say that we are quite satisfied with the results. Now, let's enter the main problem."

Jamot's expression then turned serious.

"The thing is, we will probably die even if we resist the collapse of the Foundation Space. After all, the Heavens outside will not spare us. However, our Celestial Protection Formation will definitely last a few more Chaos Cycles, so we don't really know what we should do at the moment. Should we make an agreement with the powers outside so that they can receive the cultivators and demon beasts of our planet? Or should we just forget it and wait for the next chaos cycles in peace? As you can imagine, we cultivated for a very long time, so we don't want to simply give up our lives either."

Krune shook his head.

"The others below the Mortal Rejection Realm still have a chance if you help them resist the Space Collapse. However, I'll repeat it again, I don't think anyone above that level has a chance of survival. Of course, you might be so strong that you can ward off both the Space Collapse and the supper stacked Heavenly Tribulations one after another. Still, I deeply doubt that."

Jamot nodded.

"We know. Anyway, at the moment, the Celestial Organizations are divided into two different groups. The first one is the group that wants to let the Foundation Space Collapse and protect their offsprings so that they can escape outside. Obviously, the second group is the one where the high-level cultivators and demon beasts don't want to die doesn't matter what. Because of that, they would rather keep staying here and live until the day the Celestial Protection Formations can't stand the pressure anymore, trying to find ways of keeping it running forever."

Neither Krune nor Dolmen's group was surprised by that news. After all, some considered family more significant, while others considered their lives more important than anything else. Obviously, in organizations of this size, such problems were bound to emerge now that the truth is out.

Iem thought that something was strange, though.

"Then, what are we doing here? Shouldn't you first decide what to do between yourselves before calling us out?"

Krune, Dolmen, and the rest all nodded.

Jamot, on the other hand, couldn't help but sigh.

"The problem is that a peaceful outcome is simply impossible. The ones present in this room at the moment are those who are in favor of letting the Protection Formation Collapse. Do you understand what that means?"

Krune was taken aback by that.

"Could it be that you will turn off the Celestial Protection Formation by force? Wouldn't that completely divide both sides, initiating a war between fellow members?"

Suelen continued from there.

"We know that. However, this is not something we are planning to do any time soon, so you don't need to worry about it at the moment."

Sisan was the one to ask a question now.

"That's good and all. However, what does all of that have to do with us?"

Suelen then explained.

"We brought you here to tell you that we decided to let you go."

Krune and Dolmen's group immediately thought about a possibility after hearing that.

"I see... you intend to put some restrictions on us so that we can do something for you outside, right?"

However, to their surprise, Suelen immediately shook her head before giving them a smile.

"No. All we need you to do... is to deliver a message to your leaders."
