Chapter 1498: Precursor to the Grand Plan

Chapter 1500 Precursor to the Grand Plan

"Krune! You finally woke up!" Turia exclaimed in joy, leaping into his arms, relieved.

Krune gently patted her head, silent as he was deep in thought. After all, everything that happened flashed in his mind. Seeing the memory of Luvile being extracted from his body and being killed by the God King, rage welled up within him.

However, he controlled himself, understanding his current priorities. 'I have to first make the Kun Realm a safe place.'

This was also why he refrained from bringing Fie to the God Realm. It was harder to infiltrate the Godly Path Realm compared to the God Realm. And if they still infiltrated, they would have to seal their cultivation.

This would only make them helpless against him and Wally, who were able to travel through the four realms without paying any price.

So, the Godly Path Realm was the best place for Fie. Plus, he had visited her discreetly once to make sure she was fine. Wally had paid her a few visits already, solving all her problems and ensuring she could live for so long without much worry.

Slowly, Krune got up, heaving a long breath, feeling a bit sullen as Turia brought him out of the Realm Core.

He then assumed his wisp form and returned to the Mountain Sect, observing some changes to the place. With it becoming the core of the Kun Realm and the headquarters of the Kun Realm Cluster, it was brimming with grandeur, the scale tens of thousands of times greater than the humble sect from before.

To think this was something established by five mortals was hard to believe, even for him.

"You've returned." Zamura was the first to notice him, exiting the Mountain Sect immediately as he looked at Krune in concern. "I'm sorry for what happened."

"It's my fault for being weak." Krune smiled helplessly before asking, "What's happening at present? Any other invasions?"

"We haven't been invaded after that." Zamura continued forth, hoping the series of news would help distract Krune from his self-wallowing despair. "Currently, Wally has riled up everyone to make a bunch of changes and strengthen everyone. He was waiting for you to wake up before beginning a grand plan."

"A grand plan?" Krune's eyes lit up as he turned into a flash and left the Kun Realm straight away by drawing on the power of the Balance Laws.

The moment he exited the Kun Realm, sparks fluttered across his body before he turned into a bolt of lightning, disappearing from the place.

A spatial tunnel formed before him as he quickly reached the place where Wally was, noticing Soren making a mental tally of all the resources they had procured from the various Satellite Realms.

Standing beside him was Feifei, constantly thinking of something as she discussed things with the Golden Gate Sect's Founding Ancestor and Heavin. She then noticed his approach, leaping into his hug immediately. "Thank goodness."

"I'm fine." Krune let out a wry smile before asking, "What are you guys planning here?"

"Satellite Realms similar to the Mong Realm's Satellite Realm Cannon," Feifei replied. "Master and Heavin would be the key for that."

"Master?" Krune raised an eyebrow before gazing at the golden figure nearby. "So, you must be the Golden Gate Sect's Founding Ancestor. I apologize for treating your sect horribly."

"It's fine. They had it coming for them anyway." The Golden Gate Sect Founding Ancestor shook his head. "After my demise, they made some questionable decisions that had offended a lot of people. Even my death was caused by some of them."

"Anyways, you can call me Yloka." The Golden Gate Sect's Founding Ancestor added. "My sect is a ghost of the past after all."

"Why was Wally looking for me?" he asked Feifei after that.

"I'll tell you that next," she said, bringing Krune with her as they traveled through a spatial tunnel and arrived before the spatial storm barrier protecting the Kun Realm Cluster. "This is what he's planning."

"This is...?" Krune frowned, seeing Sterlena injuring herself while touching the spatial storm barrier from time to time, taking notes as she discussed things with Wally. As for this legend from the wisp race, he was silent, nodding from time to time as he seemed to have become like a statue, solemn.

"Wally?" Krune called out, feeling that Wally's current behavior seemed strange. It didn't feel like his usual self.

"How are you feeling now?" Wally asked in return.

"Crap," Krune replied.

"As I expected." Wally sighed before stating, "If you want to cry, you can do so. My shoulders are free."

"Later," Krune continued. "So, what's the plan?"

"It's what is known as the Realm Ability..." Wally began to talk about everything that he had found out from the Mong Realm Core.

This was information he had extracted after swallowing the resources it had barfed out, using the chance to extract some valuable information from the Realm Core itself.

Once Krune learned everything, he remained silent for a minute before saying, "Alright, let's begin."

"It's good that you're enthusiastic about it." Wally nodded, seeing the firmness in Krune's eyes about finishing this project of theirs as soon as possible, sighing as he thought, 'I hope he's not too wounded with Luvile's death.'

Of course, even he knew that this wasn't the case. Krune was definitely wounded mentally after losing his best friend. When he tried to probe Krune in the usual manner, the response was completely different.

Just that was enough for Wally to understand that Krune was only putting on a brave front to not make others worry.

Hence, Wally didn't show like he was aware of it, same as Feifei and the rest that had a good grasp of Krune's character. They only hoped for him to heal over time.

"How're the preparations?" Wally asked Soren.

"It's done," Soren replied. "Heavin and Yloka are ready to break through now."

"Alright." Wally nodded as the Rune Realm Spirit brought everyone to a location in the void amid spatial storms. This was where the two individuals would be facing their final tribulation.
