Is that a Wisp?

Finally, Krune and Iem helped Zule absorb all the Soul Fragments present in that place. During the entire time, not a single Space Creature or Spatial Tear appeared. It was as if this space was completely sealed from the outside world.

Inside the Purple Lightning and Black Flames, Zule had a blank face. It was apparent that he was thinking about a lot of things at that moment. Nevertheless, Luvile was too curious, so he didn't hesitate to ask him.

"How is it? Do you remember anything else?"

Harold was as curious as Luvile.

"Quick, tell us!"

Zule finally snapped out of his trance. The expression of his projection seemed to have changed somehow. It was not because he now had a different appearance, but it was because he looked a lot more... mature in a way. His eyes were brimming with knowledge.

"Luvile and Harold... What happened to Zafran and Kastia?"

After hearing those names, Luvile and Harold felt like they were struck by lightning!

"Y-You! How do you know those names?!"

Zule smiled in response. However, it didn't look like he was happy. It was more like a smile filled with melancholy.

"They told me how much you two fought each other ever since you were kids. Too bad my Soul was already on the verge of collapsing that time, so I couldn't see what happened to you two after that. But from the looks of it, you two tried to leave. Your parents should have warned you what would happen if you tried that, but you did it anyway."

Luvile and Harold felt their souls tremble after that. It was evident that Zule knew exactly what they did to end up like that.

Krune and Iem were perplexed in comparison, though.

"Wait a minute! Wasn't Kun-Peng a Primordial Demon Beast from a time way before Luvile and Harold were born? How come you have memories about their parents?"

Zule shook his head.

"It is true that I... or Kun-Peng... came to this place way before these two were born. However, I remember a lot more things now. My Soul collapsed due to my... Kun-Peng's... Secret Technique. However, that was not something that happened instantly. Even though I couldn't stop it, it still took a long time. At first, the Secret Technique shouldn't have made my Soul shatter into pieces. However, because of that fatal injury, it ended up like that."

Zule then shook his head.

"Let's leave it aside. The fact is, I received a lot of help from your parents and a few others. Otherwise, my Soul would have collapsed a lot earlier. It was thanks to them that I was able to be put to rest in this place. Their efforts were paid in the end. My body was not found by my race, and my Soul Fragments were mostly preserved."

"However, there is a sad thing about it. After my Soul collapsed, the hatred generated by the betrayal went out of control. My Soul Fragments couldn't reign on their feelings, and all of them changed into vengeful spirits. If it wasn't because I was caught by the Space Heavenly Fragment, I would be the same as all of them."

Iem was a lot more curious about something else though, even while listening to Zule's words.

"Wait! You keep saying 'their parents.' Are you telling me that Harold and Luvile are... brothers?"

Zule couldn't help but laugh as he responded.

"Hahaha! That's right. These two brothers hate each other so much that they even refuse to tell the truth. Or perhaps...they're just too embarrassed to admit it."

Luvile couldn't hold himself back.

"Shut up! Who is this guy's brother? I will never admit it."

Harold wasn't any better.

"Hmph! You took the words right out of my mouth. Who would want to be brothers with someone like you?"

Krune and Iem didn't know what to say. They knew that these two knew each other for a long time, but they didn't expect them to be blood-related.

Zule didn't mind their antics, though. He just looked at it as if they were two kids bickering.

Luvile then changed the topic.

"Anyway, how come our parents never said anything about it?"

Zule nodded after hearing that.

"Simple. I put a restriction on them that made it impossible for them to ever talk about my existence with anyone else. Anyway, this is not something that will make any difference for you two. In any case, are they still alive?"

Luvile and Harold shook their heads.

"Those two died way before the gods joined forces to leave."

Zule nodded.

"But they told you to not do that, didn't they?"

Luvile and Harold went silent for a moment. However, that was the same as confirming it to Zule.

"I see... you two ignored their warnings and tried to leave anyway. No wonder you two ended up in this state. Well, it's already a miracle that you were not completely wiped out."

Krune couldn't help but ask.

"Luvile, does it have something to do with that talk you had with Sentoi back in the Holy Land?"

Iem and Harold were puzzled. Then again, it was to be expected since Krune and Luvile never talked about that event with the others. Besides, Sentoi and Wally were born after Luvile and Harold perished, so there was no way Harold could know about him.

"What is it? Were you hiding something from me?"

Luvile sighed and then replied.

"I guess there is no point in hiding it anymore."

Luvile continued.

"Sentoi is someone from the God Realm. However, during that time in the Holy Land, he and Wally, the Wisp God, contacted me. They asked for my help because the actual Gods of the God Realm are planning to leave again."

Harold didn't expect that.

"IDIOTS! What are they trying to do, destroy the Four Realms?! Wasn't the lesson from back then enough for them to understand?!"

However, Luvile only sighed. He had the same reaction as Harold, but he also remembered what Sentoi told him right after.

"It can't be helped. You and I were gods before. Why did we try to leave? Wasn't it because we were fed up with everything? We lived for so long, we were invincible, our cultivations simply couldn't progress anymore. We reached the apex of the Four Realms and even created our own laws. Our lives had become bleak, with nothing else to do anymore. The new gods of the God Realm probably reached the same situation. There is nothing more they can do. Their only hope is to leave this place. Otherwise, they will probably go mad. So what if they might die? So what if the Four Realms might be destroyed? Their lives already have no meaning anymore, just like ours didn't have any back then."

Harold immediately became silent. As much as he wanted to refute it, he knew that Luvile was telling the truth since he was also like that.

Krune and Iem were listening to everything. It was the first time that Luvile or Harold talked so much about their own pasts. However, they couldn't understand Luvile and Harold's feelings. After all, they had been alive for just so long. There were a lot of things that they had not seen or experienced yet.

Zule could not help but sigh in response.

"I guess I can't blame you. There is no such thing as a limit outside. You probably heard this saying before, right? The cultivation path is never-ending. This saying is not wrong. Unfortunately, as long as you are trapped in these Four Realms, you will reach a limit."

Harold and Luvile's interest was immediately piqued. That's right, that's what they have been searching for all this time. A way out!

"Zule, do you have an idea on how we could leave?"

Zule looked in their direction. Even though they were both inside Krune and Iem's foundations and only existed inside their own sources, it was as if Zule could see their faces.

"You already know where the exit is, don't you?"

Harold and Luvile didn't seem that surprised to hear that.

"Well... we do. But you do know very well what happened after we tried to use it, right? We nearly made the Four Realms collapse, and it killed a lot of gods in the process. In the end, no one succeeded in leaving this place. What we want to know is if there is any other way out."

Zule shook his head in response.

"Not with the Cultivation Limit of the God Realm, there isn't."

Krune was finally hearing about the events that brought Luvile to him. The same ones he refused to talk about until now.

"Alright, so I finally understand that what happened to you. Simply put, there is an exit, but it is dangerous. Also, trying to use it can possibly even destroy the Four Realms. Something went wrong when the Gods of the God Realm joined forces to escape the Four Realms. Most of them died while Luvile and Harold somehow escaped to the Mortal Realm. This and that happened, and they ended inside Iem and my foundations. Am I right to say that?"

Luvile agreed.

"Well, this is a very crude way of putting it, but you are not wrong."

Zule nodded as well.

"That is basically their only choice. Too bad that it is an impossible task to start with."

Luvile and Harold immediately asked.

"Why? Is there no other way?"

Zule then explained.

"You don't understand the circumstances behind the Four Realms' creation. Let me tell you something that you don't know. The Four Realms' exit was not supposed to exist in the first place."

Luvile, Harold, and Iem were taken aback once more. However, the Wisp's IQ showed its bright side at this very moment.

"I see... so that's what it meant with the sacrifice of Kun-Peng's family, sacrifice, and his escape."

Krune then looked deeply at Zule and asked.

"It was because you escaped with your Secret Technique that the exit exists at the moment. If your enemies were successful, the Four Realms would have never had an exit to start with, right?"

Zule smiled after hearing that.

"As expected of the wisp race. You are exactly right."
