Is that a Wisp?

Fortunately, Kalen received the message ahead of time, so he rushed straight out of the room with the teleport formation and made his way back. He didn't pass close to any of the floating islands to avoid the Space Creatures as much as possible. Of course, there were Space Creatures in outer space too, but their numbers were smaller. Although he did bump in one or another, they weren't out of his league. Not to mention that he didn't fight but fled instead.

Finally, he stepped out of the chaotic space and was greeted by Jimage and everyone else.

Seeing that the last member gathered, Tosely didn't waste any more time.

"Let's go back."

Tosely, the other elders, and Jimage's group were the first ones to leave the range of the Top Quality Godly Energy Vein Space. As for what will happen with Binmia and Groman's group? No one in their party cared about it.

With elder Tosely leading the group, their journey back was quite safe. Binmia made sure that none of the groups participating in the war would try to block them. After all, trying to stop a God Core Realm Demon Beast would be suicide without someone with similar power.

Finally, the elders returned to their own posts as Tosely grabbed the remained members of the group and went back to the Sect. There, she immediately went to talk with the Sect Master, Franlia Katuas. Obviously, Jimage's group was brought together. Once there, Franlia was already waiting with some of the Sect's most influential and trustworthy elders.

"...and that's everything that happened."

Jimage, Krune, and everyone else who survived finished their reports to Franlia. Of course, Iem and Krune excluded the Space God Crystal since they would need it later. After that, everyone took out several hundreds of Top Quality Godly Stones, the Wind and Fire Essence Vials, the Bazuric Nectar, and other things they acquired during the expedition.

When Franlia and the others saw all of that, their eyes lit up. Tosely was especially excited to hear about the Bazuric Nectar. As expected, she knew about this item. However, it would be nearly impossible for her to obtain it in the Godly Path Realm. But as long as she has it, the rest of the items to create the bloodline pill can be acquired with enough effort.

Franlia knew about what Tosely was thinking about and nodded at her.

"You are one of the pillars of our Sect, so you obviously get priority in this Bazuric Nectar. Make sure to wait until you reach the Peak of the God Core Realm before using, though. I hope you will be the first Nascent God Realm in a very, very long time on our planet."

Tosely smiled and immediately put the Bazuric Nectar away.

"Don't worry, Franlia. We have been together this far. Have I ever disappointed you?"

Franlia laughed and nodded right after. At the moment, she is the strongest member of the Sky Shifting Sect. However, it might change in the future if Tosely is successful in her breakthrough. Well, with the Bazuric Nectar, it is unlikely that she will fail to enter the Nascent God Realm.

Franlia then returned her attention to the Elemental Essences.

"You all did an excellent job during this expedition. That being said, I will double your reward while still giving you the same share of the things obtained."

Krune, of course, knew what he wanted from Franlia already. It was then that he received a Divine Sense message from her.

"I didn't expect that you would get enough to pay for everything necessary for the Memory Seal Removal. It seems like my son has a better insight than this old woman. Still, the total value surpasses what you need for the items to help your friends. Is there anything else you want?"

Krune already expected that, so he knew what to ask.

"I hope Elder Franlia can allow Nina and Lino to stay instead of sending them away because of their bloodline."

Franlia was surprised that Krune would make such a simple request. With the Memory Seal gone, those two wouldn't pose any threat to their Sect to start with. Of course, she wouldn't allow them to join the Sect, either.

"Are you sure that's all you want? You can be a little more selfish, you know?"

Krune smiled and shook his head. In fact, he was already being quite selfish since he is keeping an entire God Space Crystal for himself.

Obviously, Franlia and the others checked Krune and the other members' Spatial Rings to see if they were not hiding anything. However, Zule was residing inside his Divine Soul with the Heavenly Fragments and the God Crystal. Obviously, no one could find them.

"Very well, I'll immediately prepare everything once this meeting is over. But for now, let's go back to the topic at hand."

Franlia finished her Divine Sense Message and looked at everyone in the room.

"Now, we need to talk about the Demon Beast's Corpse, the Foundation Space, and the so-called Celestial organizations. Krune, Iem, Sisan, tell us more about them."

The three of them nodded and began to go through the events inside the Foundation Space. Obviously, the main point was how those Celestial Organizations had several times more God Core Realms experts than the three Sects together.

One of the elders couldn't help but comment.

"If all of them come out together, our Zamaria Planet would definitely fall in their hands."

Franlia shook her had, though.

"It is not possible. Chances are they will all die once they step out. Didn't you hear what Krune said? That place is hidden from the Heavens. Until now, they didn't get a single Heavenly Tribulation. The moment they step out, they will be zapped to powder by all the tribulations together. Only those that had just reached the Mortal Rejection Realm and below will be able to avoid Heaven's rage."

Another elder then added.

"However, Krune was able to link their leaders to those Formation Cores, right? They can probably use those cores' powers to resist their own Heavenly Tribulation from what he said. Not to mention that they can come out at any time now. Krune shouldn't have done that."

Before Krune could defend himself, Franlia intervened.

"And then he wouldn't be able to remove those marks that could kill his group at any time. Let's all be honest here. If our lives were in the line, we would also do the same as long as we could get rid of those deadly marks. That's the truth of the matter. At the moment, the Three Peaks Sect's members who received those marks are probably under their control. It is already good enough that we learned about it beforehand. Krune did an excellent job of having only four of them free to leave. If they are all that they have, we don't need to fear them that much."

Franlia continued.

"Anyway, they also asked them to deliver this message about having negotiations. What do you think about that? The other two sects will also receive the same message from them sooner or later. As you all know, everything Jimage's group brought back pales compared to what is available on the planet inside the Foundation Space."

Tosely narrowed her eyes.

"That is hard to decide. They probably think we can build a trap for them when they step outside. However, the chaotic space inside prevents anyone above the Divinity Realm from entering. Otherwise, space will collapse. In that case, we have two choices. Not build the trap and negotiate. Or let the Top Quality Godly Vein Space collapse, lose all the Top Quality Godly Stones inside, and then build the trap. However, can we even find the entrance to that Demon Beast's corpse space after the Godly Vein Space collapses?"

Krune then gave his opinion.

"I think elders should negotiate."

Everyone then looked at Krune. Usually, the elders and the Sect Master wouldn't waste their time hearing a 1st Stage Semi-Divinity Realm's opinion. However, since he was one of those who entered that Foundation Space, he might have some good reason for it.

"Speak."

Krune then explained his reasons.

"It's quite simple. If elders build the trap, you won't get anything in return. At most, you will prevent the danger of having four new God Core Realm experts from appearing, but that is all."

Krune continued.

"Don't forget, the Foundation Space will definitely collapse. Once that happens, everything inside it will be lost. It doesn't matter how much you desire it, you won't get anything. Your only chance is to have those leaders of the Celestial Organizations to bring out the things you want."

"If you build the trap, they can totally destroy their spatial rings before you can get anything. In any case, everything would be lost in the end. Also, if they aren't completely dumb, I doubt any of us will be able to enter that planet without being noticed straight away. They have several more God Core Realm experts there. Anyone we send in will also be trapped by the Celestial Protection Formation. Even if Sect Master and Elder Tosely go in together, you would simply be trashed by their sheer number advantage. Not to mention that they don't lack Peak God Core Realm experts. Simply put, entering the planet to harvest things in secret is now out of the question."

"If you really want the best that the Foundation Espace has to offer, then you have to negotiate. Besides, what if those leaders survive the trap and escape? Are you all really willing to make an enemy of four Peak God Core Realm experts that will lurk in the shadows looking for revenge?"

Franlia and everyone else felt a chill on their backs after hearing that.
