Chapter 519: Holy Land Closes
Outside the Holy Land, thousands of cultivators and demon beasts were waiting in front of the Holy Land entrance. Due to the leakage of Godly Energy, the ones outside had long since noticed that something was wrong inside. However, the Holy Land was a God-Level Dimensional Realm, so the Dalin Universe management and the powers controlling it couldn't force their way in to see what was happening.
Inside the Holy Land, things were quite chaotic as well. The entire fused Dimensional Realm began to contract even more. The cultivators and demon beasts furthest away from the center began to be forced towards the middle. Some even had problems resisting the Godly Energy that increase as they got moved further.
Finally, the Holy Land entrance opened once more, and all the cultivators and demon beasts started to be teleported outside.
"Little Arty, are we going to be teleported outside too?"
Little Arty tranquilized them.
"No, now that the Holy Land is over, I got control over all the formations once more. So I'm impeding them from teleporting you all. Once the Holy teleports everyone outside, I'm going to send you all to another exit."
Everyone got puzzled.
"Another exit?"
"Yes. That way, you won't appear in the midst of all those Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts of the Dalin Universe, but in another Solar System instead. After that, I will need to wait to see how things will be done. The Holy Land will probably keep contracting and eliminating unnecessary areas until it is small enough to be fused with my Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere."
Krune and the others nodded. However, it was at this moment that Wamie said.
"In that case, let me go out now. I'm not someone wanted to start with, so it will be better if I'm in the batch that appears outside. We don't know if the Dalin Universe management has some kind of checking system or not. In that case, if I arrive at the Spatial Gate leading outside the Dalin Universe after not appearing outside the Holy Land, things will get complicated for my side."
Lala immediately nodded.
"She is right. I'm also not from this Universe, so I better appear outside as well."
Krune and the others agreed that it was a good choice. Little Arty then controlled the formations and made Lala and Wamie go out. Sure enough, it was just like Wamie predicted. As soon as she came outside, she and Lala were required to give their full details to those Divinity Realm protectors.
After that, they were guided into a waiting zone close in the outer space where everyone was being gathered. After all, the Dalin Universe Management had to understand what was happening.
The teleportation process lasted just ten or so minutes until finally, the Holy Land's entrance closed once more.
As the Dalin Universe Management checked the facts outside, another Spatial Gate, several times smaller than the usual one, appeared on a nearby Solar System. Right after, Krune and his group appeared outside.
Surprisingly, Fie and Little Arty came out as well.
"Is it okay for you to leave?"
Little Arty didn't answer, though. Instead, he positioned himself right between the entrance and exit of the Spatial Gate. Soon, a magical scene played behind Little Arty. The land behind him seemed to began to be sucked inside the Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere. It began to increase in speed more and more to the point that you couldn't even make what was what in there anymore.
However, Krune immediately understood that it was only their view from the outside. The Holy Land itself wasn't being affected at all! If they could see inside, they wouldn't see anything changing in their field of view. That was the Laws of Space doing its wonders. It was at a much higher level than Krune, Liriu, or even Cinty, who had the highest comprehension of Space Laws.
"Little Arty, are you okay?"
Little Arty finally answered.
"I'm... fine. It's just... that this process is very demanding of... the Godly Energy Dimensional... Sphere. Don't... worry, it will be over... soon."
No one felt surprised about that. After all, that gigantic fused Dimensional Realm was being put inside that small colored pearl. It would be weird if it was something so simple.
As Krune and the others observed what was happening on the other exit, all the Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts back at the main entrance were alarmed.
"What is happening with the Holy Land? Why is it disappearing?"
"No idea, but is definitely leaving this place."
They couldn't really 'see' what was happening with their eyes. But their Divine Sense and comprehension of Space Laws were more than enough to tell that something was happening to the Holy Land. However, neither of them could do anything about it.
"It feels like it is being absorbed?"
"Someone is stealing the Holy Land!"
"How's that possible?!"
Immediately, all those Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts spread their Divine Senses. At their level, it wasn't a problem to cover half of the entire galaxy. So, obviously, they could reach the place where Krune and the others were waiting.
Too bad, though. Krune's group had long since predicted that such a thing could happen. That being said, the moment Krune appeared outside the Spatial Gate, he was already covered in Purple Tribulation Lightning. He then immediately expanded the layer to include the gate and a small area around.
As they waited, Light Spirit could tell that hundreds of Divine Senses were passing by them.
'Hmph! If a bunch of ants like you see through my anti-Divine Sense protection, I might as well kill myself here and now.'
Sure enough, not a single one of those Divine Realms could feel Krune's group or the Spatial Gate's presence.
"I can't find anything."
"Me neither."
"There is a high chance that whoever is doing it is using something to protect against Divine Senses."
"Is there a treasure capable of hiding against so many Divinity Level Divine Senses? I don't believe so. Otherwise, it would need to be at the God-Level at least."
"What do we do?"
"How would I know? Do you want to go around looking for it with your eyes alone?"
One thing was to use Divine Sense to check, it was effective and fast. But if Divine Sense failed, then they would be powerless. Let alone half of the galaxy, just how many days would they need to verify only the Solar System they are in? And that is because they have hundreds of Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts available here. As for half of a Galaxy? Ha! What a joke.
In the end, all they could do was watch as the Holy Land disappeared in front of their Divine Senses. Some of those Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts immediately looked in the direction of the crowd. They thought that it had something to do with someone of them. However, they couldn't simply go around killing everyone there.
There were many Heavenly Divine Souls in that bunch. Even if they decided to get rid of the ones that aren't, chances are that the culprit is not in their midst. Not to mention that they can't possibly make enemies with so many Universes at once.
Finally, the Holy Land completely disappeared from their Divine Senses. No one knew how, but it was gone now. Well, no one except for Hanan's group, Lala, and Wamie. But none of them would dare to say anything.
Right after, several rounds of interrogation started with those participants. All of their descriptions were almost identical. The Dimensional Realms that were once separated fused together. Then the Light Pillar Tests broke apart. There were several Dimensional Oscillations as well, which made the land tremble now and then. Unfortunately, other than that, there was nothing else.
Back on Krune's side, Little Arty flew back to Fie, and the collar he was attached fell around her neck.
"I'm finally done. To think that my old master had prepared a Puzzle God-Level Formation, really incredible."
"Puzzle God-Formation?"
The only one who had an idea of what Little Arty meant was Feifei.
"Do you mean that each of the Dimensional Realms had a piece of a Formation?"
Little Arty confirmed.
"Correct. Each of them was part of a Monumental Spatial Formation, the same one used to bring the Holy Land inside my Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere."
The others didn't know much about it, so they just nodded. It was already good that they at least understood the principles. But Feifei was really impressed by that. She can only imagine how difficult it would be to make God-Level Formations like this. Breaking it in several parts, and keep it in perfect condition during thousands of chaos cycles. In her eyes, the person who made this Holy Land could really be considered a God of Formations. But that also fueled her determination. Since someone was able to reach this level, then she could too!
"Anyway. I will need to rest for a few days, so don't bother me during that unless it is really important."
Little Arty then went silent.
After that, Cinty opened a Spatial Gate. She had the highest Space Laws comprehension between them, so her one was the longest and safest.
"Well, let's get out of here. I need to see how the wisp world is doing in my absence."
Everyone nodded, and they immediately departed. The Tribulation Lighting Layer around them continued there in middle space for a few more seconds before disappearing too.
