Chapter 516: Only Words to Trust

After five years, Little Arty already came to know about Heavin's Soul Cultivation Technique, so he knew about the ability that it had to separate a soul's consciousness from the body. Still, Little Arty hadn't thought about using it even once.

"This... Indeed. If I use that, it might be possible to leave the Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere behind. But, would it work with an Artifact Spirit?"

Heavin pondered a bit before answering.

"In general, any form of consciousness needs soul energy, be it a Divine Soul or a normal one. Since you do have a consciousness of your own, soul energy is definitely present as well. So it shouldn't be a problem as long as I make a few tweaks here and there. After all, you know that it works for both Normal and Divine Souls, so why not Artifact Spirit Souls?"

Baren was as lost as he could be.

"Wait! Are you saying that it is really possible to separate the Artifact Spirit from the Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere? Wouldn't it immediately destroy the Artifact itself instead?"

Little Arty denied that notion.

"Seems like you are misunderstanding something here. The Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere didn't have an Artifact Spirit to start with. It worked perfectly fine without one too. Whether I'm here or not only changes the fact that I'll not be the one controlling it anymore. My absence wouldn't damage it at all."

Baren couldn't help but be excited.

"Then, will you help us? We are willing to accept any terms as long as we can use the Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere!"

However, Little Arty stopped Baren right there.

"First of all, the method that Heavin, the Parrot Puppet, is talking about can't be executed immediately. He will need to modify his method so that it could work for me, which takes time. Second, I would need even longer to become proficient with it. We are talking about decades or even centuries here."

"But before anything like that, you will need to provide a full rundown of the entire plan. I want you to make me believe that you can really accomplish it. After all, if you fail, my Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere would most likely fall in the hands of the enemy. I might be willing to do it for my old master, but I'm not going to boldly dive into it."

Baren quickly calmed down. Revealing the entirety of the plans included even how to take control of the Dalin Universe's Protection Formation. That is a secret that even Hanan's group didn't know about. The most crucial point of the entire thing. If it is leaked out, it would be impossible to execute.

Baren began to think if there wasn't really any other way to acquire the Dimensional Sphere. But Little Arty had signed a new master's contract. That made things a lot more complicated since they wouldn't be able to cut their connection. Not to mention that they can't force him into a new contract either. Even if Little Arty accepts a new contract with a new master, Divinity Realm Cultivation would still be too weak to force him to receive their orders.

'What if we kidnaped his actual master? No, that would be even worse. If he decides to go back on his words at the last moment for revenge, we would be utterly helpless. The last thing we can do is to be on his wrong side.'

As Baren thought about the possibilities, Little Arty began to talk about another issue.

"Now, what about we talk about the Wisps?"

Baren's attention was immediately picked.

"As a clan from the time that the Dalin Universe was being conquered, I won't believe if you say that you don't know their situation at the moment."

Krune and Cinty had already revealed their real forms, and Hanan had mentioned it to Baren as well. With two Divine Path Realms right in front of him, Baren couldn't simply pretend that they didn't exist.

Krune and Cinty also nodded their heads. If Little Arty hadn't mentioned it, they would definitely do so.

Baren took a deep breath before saying.

"I mentioned it before. My clan is willing to accept any conditions as long as we can have the Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere. What exactly would you want from me?"

Cinty and Krune smiled.

"Well, it wouldn't exactly be a problem. You do know that we have Wally on our side. So even if you put up a God-Level Protection formation, he isn't someone you can block with it."

Baren nodded. Obviously, he had thought about this possibility the moment he heard about the two Divine Path Realm wisps in front of him. As far as he knows, there had never been Divine Path Realm or above Wisps ever since Wally disciples 'died.'

"Yes, I understand this much. In that case, I can declare it here and now. Our Frunkan Clan will hold no grudges whatsoever against the Wisp Race. First of all, why would we care about the wisp race if we don't even have a house anymore?"

Cinty shook her head.

"We don't need to make an alliance or anything like that. But the wisps in the Dalin Universe must be treated just like any other race. At this moment, any Void Breaking Realm wisp would immediately be hunted down if they leave the Wisps Worlds. Because of that, we always need to move in secret. As long as you can guarantee it after the Universe is retaken, I have nothing to complain."

Baren pondered a bit before nodding.

"That is not a problem. Unless the wisp race decides to take control over the entire Dalin Universe one day, I don't think there will be a problem with living together. Oh, right! You don't need to worry. It will not be like our Frunkan Clan will be the one controlling the Dalin Universe either. For such a plan to work, we obviously need a lot more power than our clan alone has. So if nothing goes wrong, Dalin Universe would be more like a shared place. We all know that if we don't unite, we will end losing the Dalin Universe again."

Cinty was quite satisfied with that arrangement.

"Very well. Our wisp race will take your word. I will personally contact Wally to pass the news too. He can't intervene in such things due to the old agreement. But after the Dalin universe is taken, it will be out of the range of the Universes Powerhouses, so there will be no need for him to hold back inside the Dalin Universe. I hope you understand my side."

Baren couldn't help but sweat cold. Indeed, if the Dalin Universe is completely blocked, the agreements made between the Universes Powerhouses' ascenders would be meaningless there. But in that case, Baren also noticed a problem. Couldn't Wally use his own strength to take control of Dalin after it is blocked?

'No, that would make no sense. With Wally's power, he could have done something similar. Why would he wait for us to block the Dalin Universe first? The agreement? Something seems not correct about it. Anyway, whatever it is, as long as we keep our side of the deal, there shouldn't be a problem. The priority now is to regain control over the Dalin Universe. Anything else can be discussed after.'

Baren looked at Cinty and nodded.

"If this is the Wisp Queen's desire, I accept your terms."

Cinty smiled after hearing that.

"Very well. Then I have nothing against this plan of yours. Just the fact that the higher realm wisps won't be confined in the wisp worlds is more than enough for me."

Little Arty was satisfied with that too.

"It seems like you reached an agreement, so that is good. As for your plan, you don't need to tell me now. After all, I will not give you the Dimensional Sphere any time soon. But before you come to ask me about it, I must know the details."

Baren nodded before making another question.

"How long do you think it would take?"

Little Arty sighed.

"I have no idea. But I believe that it might even take a few centuries depending on the conditions. However, all you need to know is that I intend to help. Besides, what are a few centuries for you who waited for so many Chaos Cycles?"

Baren had to admit that Little Arty was right. It's just that he is afraid of them talking about this after they leave this place. At the moment, all they did was to exchange their words. No side could really provide any guarantees of what they said.

Little Arty then continued.

"After the Holy Land is over, I'll be moving to the Wisp Main World. You can send a representative of your clan there later with a way of contacting you. We can continue to talk about more specific details after that. For now, it is better to enjoy the last year of Holy Land."

Baren nodded.

"Very well, it seems like we have no other choice other than believing your words. Once the Holy Land closes, I will send someone there, as you asked."

Little Arty's group nodded, and they finally left after that.

Hanan then looked at the Clan Head before asking.

"Is it really okay like this, Clan Head?"

Baren couldn't help but sigh again.

"It is not like we have another choice. We must absolutely not show any of our forces at the moment. Besides, the wisp race does have a lot to gain from this, but nothing to lose. In fact, it is exactly because the wisp race is involved that this deal seems a lot more trustworthy. After all, they are already being pursued by everyone to start with. So even if the plan ends in failure, their situation will continue the same. It's simple as that."

Hanan nodded and didn't ask anymore.
