Is that a Wisp?

During the next few years, Krune helped train Lia and visited a few places in the Dalin and Luvile Universe with Feifei. They also took this opportunity to tell others that they would be ascending soon. As to whether someone wished to come with them or not, they couldn't do anything about it. After all, it was only possible to ascend once one reached the peak of the Divinity Realm. The only ones who had a chance at it were Fie and Liriu. Of course, there was Cinty as well, but she had no wish to leave the Dalin Universe anytime soon.

However, both Fie and Liriu had already decided that they wouldn't be going. They were basically like Lucio. They didn't really have a big interest in this so-called 'Beyond the Four Realms.' Liriu didn't want to leave his parents behind, so he decided to stop cultivating and wait for them to reach the peak of the Divinity Realm as well. As for Fie, it was even more obvious since her husband was far from her cultivation. She wanted to do it like Feifei and Krune and only ascend with the person she loved. Neither Krune nor Feifei complained about that at all.

As for the rest of Krune's friends, none of them would reach the Peak of the Divinity Realm anytime soon. Logically, they wouldn't be able to ascend with him even if they wanted to.

Another thing that Krune and Feifei did was find where Xanio was. As expected, they felt the moment he was born in the Luvile Universe and brought him to the Divine Path Sect. Now, he only needed to cultivate up to the Divine Soul Realm to recover his memories. Well, that would be an easy task with the sect's resources.

One day, Krune was having a meal with Feifei and Lucio when all of a sudden, his communicator activated. Not only his but Feifei's as well. As they looked at that, they received a message from Soren.

"Oh! Soren's coming back with Heavin!"

Feifei smiled as she said.

"That's great! Heavin has reached the peak of the Soul Source Realm."

"Let's finish eating and go meet up with them."

"Don't forget to tell the others since we'll also be ascending soon."

Feifei nodded with a happy expression and immediately contacted everyone in Luvile Universe.

A few days later, everyone gathered to see Krune, Feifei, and Heavin off. Everyone was already aware that it would happen anyway, so there wasn't any surprise on their faces, only a hint of sadness. After all, many of them wanted to go with Krune and Feifei. Unfortunately, they didn't have the cultivation for that.

Ao then looked at Krune before saying.

"Krune, make sure to leave the door connection outside the Four Realms open. I'll be passing by it someday as well."

Krune nodded.

"Sure, I won't close it if I don't need to. However, I can't promise anything."

Fie and Lua were hugging Feifei while crying, which made Feifei's eyes teary as well.

Krune and Luo couldn't help but laugh a little. Luo was Krune's only male child.

"Luo, make sure you protect your sisters well."

Luo scratched the back of his head as he looked at them.

"I might be able to help in Lua's case, but there's no way I can do anything for Fie. Her realm is just too high. Chances are that she will have to protect me instead."

Krune shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

"Well, you never know what to expect. I just mean that you should give them your full support."

Luo nodded.

"Then, I'll do that. By the way, dad. Will I see you again?"

Krune shook his head as he answered.

"I don't know. However, you three are grown-ups already. Perhaps there will come a day when all of you ascend to the God Realm and leave the Four Realms. If that happens, I'll be waiting for you outside."

Luvile, who was beside them, couldn't help but snort.

"That's considering you'll survive until then, right? Don't get overconfident. Don't lie either. They need to know that there's a chance that we will die when we attempt to go out. Or maybe we'll die by the time we are out."

Luvile then looked at Luo as he said.

"In any case, just remember that they might die someday. Understood?"

Luo immediately replied.

"Yes, Senior Luvile!"

Luvile nodded, satisfied.

Krune then looked at the puppet on Heavin's side.

"Little Arty, don't you want to go with us? We'll reach the God Realm much faster, so you'll be able to see Sentoi again."

Little Arty shook his head as he replied.

"Fie is my Master, so I will take my time and stay with her. I believe she will eventually arrive in the God Realm one day."

"What if Sentoi leaves the Four Realms with us before that?"

"Then I just need to wait until Fie leaves the Four Realms as well. Hahaha!"

Krune shrugged his shoulders and didn't insist. It was evident that Fie was as important to Little Arty as Sentoi was.

Sometime later, the three crying girls somehow became eight. Lofa, Shinja, Yusa, and City, and Ary joined the group.

Krune then left them alone and went to make some food for everyone. This would be the last time cooking for them in a long time, so he used the best ingredients available to him. Everyone enjoyed it for several hours that day.

Naturally, the time came for Krune's group to leave. There was no need to send Cinty back to the Dalin Universe since they still knew about the secret passage. Well, only Lucio and Cinty knew the exact coordinates. The lesser the number of people that knew it, the better it was. In any case, they could go back to Dalin whenever they wanted to without anyone noticing.

Fie then couldn't help but ask.

"Dad, Mom. Don't you have the small black and white towers you used to communicate between realms before?"

Krune sighed before shaking his head.

"We don't. That thing worked with Wally's power. Now that Wally's back at the God Realm, they disappeared with him. I might find Wally in the God Realm again, but it'll take some time."

Ao remembered something as he asked.

"Wait! Doesn't Wally have a way to come back to the Mortal Realm without paying the price?"

Krune, Luvile, and Feifei smiled bitterly.

"We asked him many, many times. However, he refuses to tell anyone about it. He's intending to bring this secret to his grave as far as we can tell. So don't hope too much that we're coming back anytime soon unless Wally suddenly has a change of mind."

Soren finally became impatient before saying.

"How long are you going to make me wait? I want to go get my Mental Energy Source back."

Heavin looked at Soren with a puzzled expression.

"But Master, the Kalame Sect has two Nascent Soul Gods presiding over it. Do you have enough power to demand it back from them?"

Soren snorted before he took the 'black water' out of his Spatial Ring. That was the same water that Krune brought back from the Godly Path Realm.

"This is far from enough for me to reach my Soul God Level. However, there's more than enough for me to trash any Nascent God Realm of the Godly Path Realm. I'm just waiting to ascend before consuming it. Soon after that, I'm going straight to this Kalame Sect and retrieve the rest of my Mental Energy Source."

Krune and the others nodded, not doubting it at all.

"Alright, everyone. Give them space. It's time for everyone to depart."

Somewhere else, the Sacred Lands observed that through their Divine Senses. For them, it was great that Krune's group was finally leaving, especially since they were bringing those gods together with them. Of course, they wouldn't be idiotic enough to try anything against the Divine Path Sect anytime soon since they were still afraid of Wally. Besides, Liriu and the others were also powerful beings.

"Sigh... Perhaps things will go back to normal after this."

"Don't relax so quickly. We don't have a passage into Dalin anymore, so it is not like our strength has changed much."

"Well, let's see what the future holds for us."

Back at Krune's side, Krune, Feifei, and Heavin took several Godly Energy Stones out and pressed for the limit. A few minutes later, they reach the threshold, which immediately called forth the Ascension Tribulation Clouds.

As mentioned before, Heavenly Core Owners received Ascension Tribulations that were much stronger than normal ones! After all, the Universes didn't want to lose part of themselves, which were the Heavenly Cores and Fragments.

However, Krune and Feifei were anything but normal. They had their Mental Energy and Myriad Energy Techniques. Besides, Luvile also left some of his Purple Tribulation Power within them for their use. Soren did the same thing for Heavin, just in case.

The ordeals raged down, bringing out all five elemental tribulations. Each tribulation was stronger than any common one, making everyone around feel fear as they watched. However, it was all useless in front of Luvile and Soren's power, as well as Krune and Feifei's own strength. The Luvile Universe roared madly in seething rage, but there was nothing it could do.

The ordeal continued for over one hour, which showed just how much difficult it was. Unfortunately for the universe, the Tribulation Clouds eventually ran out of energy just as the Tribulation Bolts came down. With that, the Tribulation was over. Heavin, obviously, had the easiest time between the three.

However, the Luvile Universe wasn't finished yet. Now that the tribulation was over, it had to send Krune's group up. Spatial Laws gathered around Krune's group as the Spatial Gate that only ascenders could enter opened for them.

Luvile and Soren also stopped suppressing their cultivations at that point, which immediately made the Luvile Universe take notice of them. Sure enough, it took the chance of the Spatial Gate being open and grabbed the two of them as well. Before long, Krune's group disappeared in the spatial gate. They had finally ascended.
