Is that a Wisp?

Back to the present time, everyone looked astonished at the giant Kun-Peng awakening while trying to escape. However, the enormous body of Kun-Peng suddenly began to shrink at high speeds. At the same time, the effects caused by its body in the Dimensional Realm were also reduced. In just a few seconds, the giant Kun-Peng disappeared, in its place, a naked man's body. Considering Zule's real cultivation, changing back into his human form wasn't really that hard to do.

Zule looked in the distance and noticed the various groups. Then, with a wave of his hand, the Spatial Laws around them froze, locking every single member in place. Even the God Core Realm cultivators and demon beasts were utterly helpless under it.

He then examined the groups and found what he was looking for.

The Seal that the other 'Zule' gave to Binmia left her spatial ring on its own, heading right back to Zule. It then entered his body, completely disappearing.

Binmia was frightened by that. After all, she thought that the Zule in front of her was the same one who had escaped before. Of course, this Zule absorbed the previous 'Zule,' so he had all of his memories about his time with Binmia. He then pondered for a split of a second if he should do something to Binmia but eventually decided to not do anything.

Once that was done, Zule looked at the four Celestial Organization Leaders and their four subordinates. Immediately, they felt a chill on their back, afraid of what Zule might try to do with them. After all, they left his Foundation Space without permission. Zule didn't know the effect that those four coming out could have, so he immediately took them back.

Spatial Laws converged around the four Celestial Organization Leaders and their subordinates. Soon after, they were once more teleported back into Zule's foundation.

The four leaders looked around with their Divine Senses and were taken aback.

"We're back?"

"Wait! Where are the Formations' Cores?!"

It was then that they noticed that the cores were nowhere to be found. That was to be expected, though. Those Cores were made with a part of Zule's, or Kun-Peng's Silver Core. Naturally, Zule fused them back to his Core.

Nevertheless, Jamot and the others didn't see what was really happening inside the Planet's Core. There, the power of a Soul ignited like a phoenix rebirthing through flames! That one wasn't Zule's Soul. Every cultivator or demon beast in the Divine Soul Realm or above had a Divine Soul. For those at the God Realm, they would evolve it into Godly Divine Souls. However, the one inside Zule's Planet Core was definitely much more powerful than any of those. Even Luvile's Godly Divine Soul at its peak would be akin to a flickering firefly in front of it.

The moment that Soul awakened, the chaotic Foundation Space outside the Planet immediately stabilized. The same Foundation Space that was very close to collapsing completely. Only the size of a Solar System remained after so many years. However, together with the new Soul, the Foundation Space began to expand at a frightening speed! With that Soul now alive, Zule was able to start recovering his Foundation Space.

But that wasn't everything that happened. Suddenly, everyone inside Zule's Foundation Space heard his voice.

"There is no need for the Celestial Protection Formation anymore. I'll be taking it away."

As soon as he said that, the Celestial Protection Formation that protected the Planet for countless years shattered! Obviously, the entire population of the Planet was frightened by that. However, the chaotic space that the formation protected against didn't exist anymore, so nothing happened.

Well, there was something that happened.

*Shuwa!*

Immediately, the Godly Energy present in outer space descended on the entire Planet. Until now, the Celestial Organizations had been controlling the amount of Godly Energy present in the Planet with the Celestial Protection Formation. Thanks to that, no one outside the Celestial Organization could go over the 1st Stage of the Transformation Realm. However, it seemed like that won't be the case anymore.

Right after that, Zule's voice resounded once more.

"With that, everyone will have a chance to cultivate correctly. I better not see the Celestial Organizations trying to block everyone's Godly Energy anymore."

And with that said, Zule's voice disappeared. No one knew what would happen there from now on.

Back in the outside world, things were not so calm. Suddenly, cracks spanning several hundred kilometers began to appear in space-time. Those were not Spatial Tears but something much worse. Even Gods like Luvile or Harold felt a chill in their souls when they saw that.

Zule couldn't help but sigh when he saw that. He then looked at Krune's group and sent them a Divine Sense message.

'The Four Realms can't hold the power of my existence for much longer... it's time to leave.'

Krune and Iem nodded slightly. They knew that this would be the outcome, after all.

'May we meet once again outside the Four Realms.'

Zule smiled and waved his hand once more. In front of him, another Spatial Gate seemed to have the same power as the Spatial Cracks around it appeared. Zule didn't mind and immediately entered it. The Spatial Gate then closed on his back, making him disappear from everyone's sight.

As soon as Zule left, the space-time cracks began to heal themselves, disappearing in just a few minutes.

Franlia, Binamia, Aragan, and everyone else felt their frozen bodies being freed after that.

"This... the demon beast... left?"

"The Celestial Organization Leaders also disappeared."

"What should we do? Should we try to look for it?"

"Look for it? Are you crazy? If that guy wanted it, he could have crushed us all with a single finger!"

Suddenly, the Dimensional Realm around them began to destabilize.

"Not good. That demon beast's body was the thing that held the Dimensional Realm. Now that it's gone, the Dimensional Realm is beginning to collapse. Let's go!"

Without wasting any time, the God Core Realm cultivators and demon beasts used their Godly Energy and grabbed everyone. After that, they sped up to head to the exit that was still open. Soon, they all appeared outside of the Dimensional Realm.

"Let's get out of here. The Dimensional Realm will affect this entire area after it goes down."

Several Spatial Gates then opened, which everyone used to leave that region. A few minutes after, a Spatial Storm hit the place where the Dimensional Realm was located, turning the place into a deadly zone. It would take several years before the region would turn back to normal.

Back in the Sky Shifting Sect, several Spatial Gates appeared, which everyone used to go back. Krune and Iem, obviously, were there as well. However, Franlia and Tosely did not appear. That's because they agreed with Binmia and Aragan to meet in another place to discuss what happened.

Somewhere in a place close to each of the three sects' borders, six Spatial Gates suddenly appeared. From inside, Franlia, Tosely, Aragan came out with the other elders. Soon after, Aragan and Franlia looked at Binmia.

Aragan was the first one to talk.

"Binmia, what was that thing that the Demon Beast got from you? Was it you who helped it awaken?"

Franlia, of course, knew that it had something to do with Krune and Iem. However, she was more than happy to play along with Aragan's mistake.

"Now that I think about it, you were the last one to appear at the Silver Core sighting. Also, that kid that was with you disappeared as well. What is the meaning of this?"

Binmia had a dark expression on her face. Obviously, she didn't want to remember how 'Zule' betrayed her. Well, Zule was basically being held as a hostage, so he couldn't be considered an ally to start with.

"That's something my disciples brought back from the first expedition into the Demon Beast's body. However, it has nothing to do with the Demon Beast's awakening. Besides, who can guarantee that it wasn't one of you two? Franlia, those two kids with the Purple Lightning and Black Flames were not present in the Silver Core sighting either, right? Where did they go? How come they're already waiting outside when we left the Demon Beast's Body?"

Franlia snorted in response.

"Hmph! Everyone here had sent their own exploration groups around to check other places in the Demon Beast's corpse. Obviously, I had the two of them do the same thing. Only when we began to go back did we finally reunite with them, no? The only one here that seemed to have something to do with that Demon Beast was you and that thing it took from you."

Aragan already lost his patience.

"Enough! This is not going anywhere. The fact is that the Demon Beast left and took those elders with it. I want to know what we will do from now on."

Suddenly, Franlia, Aragan, and Binmia received a message on their communicators.

"What?! The Sealed Spaces around the Top-Quality Godly Energy Veins collapsed as well?"

Those were the spaces that all three sects were exploring to acquire Godly Energy Stones. However, other than the Godly Vein, the other thing that kept them whole was Kun-Peng's body presence. Now that Zule left, it obviously couldn't stay intact anymore.

"There are no Top Quality Godly Stones anymore. Also, our alliance was due to the Demon Beast's corpse's existence. Now that it disappeared, we have no reason to keep this farce either."

Binmia agreed with Aragan. Because of the Seal that Zule got from her, she felt like she was the most suspicious between the three of them. She wanted to put an end to this as soon as possible.

"We should be grateful that we at least got those Spatial Rings with some of the Celestial Organizations' resources."

Franlia also wanted to leave straight away. After all, she had to ask Krune and Iem about what happened back there. Of course, she knew that there was another problem.

"Before that, we need to decide what to do if someone asks. After all, the Spatial Storm in the place where the Demon Beast's Dimensional Realm existed will attract a lot of attention. We most likely will receive a few visits from the other powers of our and other planets. Maybe even the Nascent God from Jersave Planet in our Solar System might send someone to see what is happening. In my opinion, we shouldn't disband this alliance yet. Instead, we should stay close to each other for the next few years, just in case."

Binmia and Aragan narrowed their eyes. They knew that Franlia was talking the truth. No, what she said would most likely happen.

"Very well. The Godly Veins' Sealed Spaces were destroyed. Still, the Godly Veins themselves are intact and ready for use. Since there are twelve of them, each of us will get the four closest to their sects. What do you think?"

Everyone nodded and decided to follow this plan. After that, they discussed a few more issues and left.

As soon as Franlia came back to the Sect, she immediately contacted Krune and Iem. However, there wasn't a need for that. Krune and Iem were already waiting for her at Tulike's house.
