Is that a Wisp?

That Seal would allow her to control the power of Kun-Peng's body within a range of a few kilometers... or at least, that's what 'Zule' said to her. Although the negotiations had been going well, the truth was that everyone wanted a larger portion. There was nothing Binmia could do to the Celestial Organization Leaders. After all, she would be powerless if she entered the Silver Core. However, that's not the case for Franlia and Aragan. If she took the other two sects out of the picture, her share of resources would obviously be much higher.

Still, she was hesitating. First of all, this was a Seal made by that 'Zule,' who deceived her and escaped. Could she really trust it? Also, will the power from it be enough to deal with Franlia and Aragan's group? Last but not least, would those Celestial Organization Leaders intervene? The best thing would be her convincing them to join forces with her. However, there was also the chance that they would turn on her after hearing her plan.

In the end, Binmia thought about her daughter, Bianca. She sighed and put the Seal away.

'The risks are way too great, with no guarantee of success. If anything goes wrong, let alone getting a bigger share, even the 20% entitled to me will disappear. There is even a chance that they will all join forces to get rid of me and my sect.'

Because of how big Kun-Peng's body was, the group took some time to arrive where the injury was located. Surprisingly though, Krune, Iem, Dudo, and Mala were already there, waiting for Franlia.

"Oh! You are all back. How was it? Did you find what you were looking for?"

Dudo and Mala then looked at Krune. After all, they didn't know what they did to those Silver Flames back in Kun-Peng's Head.

"Before that, I can see that Sect Master already got in contact with the four leaders of the Celestial Organizations. Did they not go through the Heavenly Tribulations?"

Franlia shook her head.

"It seems like not only the Silver Core but this entire Dimensional Realm is hidden from the Heavens. They will only receive their Tribulations once we exit this place. That's pretty much what we are going to do now. We reached an agreement already. Once they succeed in their tribulations, we will start our exchanges."

Krune and Iem nodded. It was not like they didn't expect that the entire Dimensional Realm was hidden from the Heavens. One must remember that even Zule had hidden the Underground City from the Heavens before, let alone Kun-Peng.

On their way out, Krune and Iem started to recount what happened during their travel to Kun-Peng's head. Of course, Dudo and Mala also sent a Divine Sense Message to Franlia, telling her everything that happened.

"So... that kid that Binmia was together had something to do with Kun-Peng's body. I knew she was hiding something. She also took longer to arrive at the Silver Core than Aragan and me, so that kid's betrayal was probably the reason. Still, it's a good thing that you and Iem were able to use your power to destroy it."

Franlia then continued.

"By the way, those Silver Flames that you and Iem collected. What were they for?"

No doubt, the thing that interested her the most were those Silver Flames. In her eyes, they might be even more important than the resources in the Space Foundation.

Krune and Iem smiled as they looked at Kun-Peng's body.

"Sect Master will see it soon."

Franlia was taken aback and looked behind.

*Tremble!*

Suddenly, the entire Dimensional Realm began to shake!

"What is happening?!"

Everyone put their guards up, looking around themselves. After all, they felt tense, afraid that some ambush made by the other party might happen. However, after seeing that everyone had the same reactions, they noticed that it probably had nothing to do with anyone there.

The Spatial Laws began to activate as thousands of Spatial Tears appeared everywhere in there. It was as if the entire Dimensional Realm was about to collapse.

"Look! The Demon Beast's Body!"

Hearing that, Jamot's group immediately looked back. At first, it was hard to notice. But soon, they saw the enormous Demon Beast's body shining with silver light! Spatial Laws and power that neither of them could fathom began to converge around it.

Suddenly, the large injury that went from one side of the Demon Beast's body to the other started to close. But that was not what really caught everyone's attention. Instead, it was what happened in its head. The Demon Beast's eyes... opened!

"It... It's alive!"

Everyone was instantly frightened by that sight! If that thing decided to attack them, they would all be dead! Even though they were already quite far from it, the immeasurable power that emanated from its body was already enough to put tremendous pressure on everyone. They couldn't help but wonder.

'If we were still inside, this power alone would have crushed all of us.'

Finally, the sect leaders came back to themselves.

"To the exit, now!"

Franlia, Aragan, Binmia, and all the other cultivators and demon beast immediately turned around to flee. For some reason, they couldn't open Spatial Gates in this place, so they could only fly. However, the Demon Beast's body suddenly turned in their direction. The shocking point was that its simple movement was enough to stir all the Laws and Godly Energy inside the Dimensional Realm. That showed just how much power, as well as how big the body was. Franlia and the others almost lost their balance because of that. The God Core Realm experts had to give their all to protect the lower-level members.

"This is ridiculous! It didn't do anything at all. It merely turned its body in our direction. How can such a powerful being exist?"

It was then that an idea appeared in Franlia's mind. She looked at Krune and Iem and noticed that they also looked surprised. However, different from the others, she couldn't feel any fear coming from them.

'Was it them who awakened the Demon Beast?'

Franlia was right on point!

---

Going back in time, Krune and Iem kept helping Zule absorb the Silver Flames. The more he did it, the more of his memories he awakened. Suddenly, Krune felt like Zule was about to cry, so they stopped for a moment.

"What is it, Zule?"

Zule bitterly smiled as he answered.

"No wonder Kun-Peng's hatred goes so deep! Betrayal was the least of the problems... He fell into a trap made by his own kind. It would be one thing if he was the only one caught in it. However, his own family was also used as a sacrifice during that time."

Luvile and Harold were the most curious ones.

"His kind? His family? Are you saying that there are more Primordial Kun-Pengs?"

Zule nodded as he remembered the past.

"There are. Primordial Demon Beasts... they are not as rare as you think."

That came as a great shock for everyone hearing. After all, no Primordial Demon Beast had appeared for countless Chaos Cycles. How come they are not rare? Even Luvile and Harold were startled by that news. They heard from Zule before that he was betrayed. However, they thought that it was the action of some other Primordial Demon Beast.

"Why have we never seen one, then? Just where have they gone? Could it be that they never cared about the Four Realms?"

Zule shook his head in response.

"I still lack a lot of my memories. I only remember the part where my family and I were used as a sacrifice because this was a powerful memory."

"Sacrifice for what?"

"I don't... remember."

Luvile then urged Krune and Iem.

"Go, go, go! Let's help him recover the rest of the Silver Flames."

However, Krune didn't move straight away.

"Zule, are you sure you want to continue? Is there not a chance that this revenge feeling will overtake your soul as well? I know that you said that you aren't the same Kun-Peng anymore, but still..."

Zule sighed as he shook his head.

"Don't worry. I'm not Kun-Peng anymore, but I'm him at the same time. It's not wrong to say that I experienced a rebirth after being absorbed by the Space Heavenly Fragment. I have full control over my own soul. Those other Soul Fragments can't force me to do anything. Instead, you should have noticed already. Whenever they are about to be completely absorbed by me, they can link their feelings with my own. Because of that, they know that I will get revenge for us. It's just that I won't destroy the Four Realms as we initially intended. I'm soothing their urges with my own way of doing things."

Iem then asked.

"So, the ones you want to get revenge against are the members of your own Primordial Kun-Peng Race?"

Zule pondered a bit and then replied.

"I'm not sure. However, I don't think that getting revenge in the entire race is right. After all, chances are that the majority don't even know what happened. Why would I get revenge against clueless Kun-Pengs? Anyway, I need to recover more of my memories to get a feeling of what I should do next."

Krune nodded.

"Alright, but if you feel that you are losing control over those Soul Fragments, you must tell me straight away. The last thing we need is to have a Kun-Peng attacking us. That would be terrifying for sure."

Zule nodded.

"Don't worry, I can do it. Let's continue."
