Chapter 1266: I'm Still A Wisp

"If you say I've cleared it, then it's done," the wisp spoke, showing no change in emotion. There was no elation, just exhaustion. It wasn't easy to live multiple lives while bearing the weight of the world on his shoulder.

"Now, give me my rewards," he said after.

"Sure." The Land Spirit nodded before snapping its fingers, causing three whirlpools to appear beside Krune. "They're all that you need to heal your defects."

"Thanks," Krune said and entered the first one, feeling a relaxing sensation as something in him seemed to be elevating automatically.

It was like taking a bath in a hot spring as he felt relaxed, slowly falling asleep. He was suffering from a lot of mental exhaustion.

This didn't just start from his trip into the realm of sufferings, but had begun the moment he was sent into the Sub-Realm as a mortal. Everything had taken a huge toll on his mind.

So, the moment he entered the Law Pools, he fell asleep, resting his weary body and mind.

"This is?" The Land Spirit was shocked when the Law Pools surged all of a sudden and gushed into Krune, entering into something within him.

The moment it happened, all the other Law Pools that existed in this infant supercontinent appeared, causing a tiny stream of each to flow into Krune.

"What the heck is happening?" The Land Spirit was alarmed. "No! This would cripple the supercontinent's foundation!"

Though, the process only lasted for a couple of seconds before all the extra Law Pools vanished. The amount they expended was pretty much insignificant.

Even for the three Law Pools that Krune had immersed himself into, they weren't being used up at all, not to mention being polluted by the impurities in him.

They were just used as a bath as Krune's body automatically healed its impurities.

The Land Spirit soon sensed the culprit, gazing at the Soul Needle that was poking out a little from Krune's Wisp Core. It shone with a gentle blue hue, accumulating the impurities in the Wisp Core into itself before sending them back.

And during this time, the Law Pools just pressured the impurities, causing them to condense and refine themselves.

Originally, by immersing himself into the Law Pools, Krune would have become no different from a True Spirit, albeit the difference with him still being disliked by the heavens. But at least, there would be no difference in potential between him and a True Spirit.

That would have been the case originally. But now, despite his impurities being healed, Krune was still a wisp. It was a surprising situation, though not unprecedented. For there was still Wally, a God that was still a wisp.

It was unknown as to how much time had passed as Krune slept peacefully, waking up when he felt complete, noticing that he was still a wisp in the end. Even though there wasn't much difference between him and a True Spirit, a glance at himself, and he realized that he was still a wisp.

'Well, Wally was also the same,' he thought, not minding much about it, noticing that he felt a lot better, not only physically but also mentally.

It seemed this process had healed his mind completely, allowing him to sigh in relief before breaking into a dance. "Ah! I missed this feeling!"

"As expected, being in my true nature is the best!"

"You can head into the core of the infant supercontinent now," the Land Spirit said. "When the Principality of Precipice finished forming, there was still a century before the core of the supercontinent actually opened. And now, there's still a decade left. So, I'll send you to the edge of the Zone of Suffering, where you can wait for its opening. The others that managed to clear the trials are also waiting there."

"This Zone of Suffering... just what exactly is it?" Krune asked, wondering about it. Had it just been a simulation of sorts that was created by a formation, it wouldn't have been this...immersive and... realistic. So, he had been wondering about that.

It was not to mention the fact that he felt stronger than before. Though, it wasn't due to the healing of his defect. He was constantly growing in strength, but the strength increase was so minute it was negligible.

"This is a place that is connected to tens of thousands of worlds." The Land Spirit smiled mysteriously as he said that. "And, every single world is real, including the one you were sent into."

"Tens of thousands of worlds? Wait, what do you mean by that?" Krune asked in alarm, shuddering in response. After all, the word used here wasn't 'Sub-Realm' but 'worlds.' Meaning, these worlds weren't connected to the laws of the God Realm at all and were independent existences, having their own laws.

"Come here when you become a God. You'll understand the truth." The Land Spirit smiled mysteriously, waving its hand to send him away. "If you can reach the highest cultivation realm the God Realm has to offer, that is."

"Damn it, what is..." Krune cursed, noticing that he had appeared at an entirely different place, noticing the vast plains he was upon before gazing at the mountain-sized gate at the end.

With a glance, he understood that it was the gate into the core of the infant supercontinent.

And before he could even gather his bearings, countless Divine Senses scanned him, probing his strength. Reflexively, Krune guarded himself using his Divine Sense, glaring at the other party.

They didn't even bat an eye, expressing peerless arrogance. A simple probe at their presence and the depth of their laws allowed Krune to understand something.

They were all cheats!

Even the weakest among them had once been at the late stages of the Semi-God Realm, committed suicide and revived at the Ninth Stage of the Nascent God Realm just to gain benefits from the infant supercontinent.

Of course, Krune saw powerhouses among the people on the plains, each with vast auras that stood out even among this aura fest.

Primal Gods!

And now, even though they were at the Nascent God Realm, they retained the entirety of their law comprehension.

"Shit!" He hadn't even managed to observe the situation before an attack slammed his way as an angry roar resounded. Upon seeing the other party, Krune felt a headache. "Well, shit.. It's Kirena Wohat.'
