Chapter 523: Negotiations

After hearing the whole story, everyone became startled. First, the fact that a Wisp was able to reach the Divine Path Realm. Second, not only has Krune got there, he is even stronger than some Heavenly Divine Soul Owners at the same level. That sounded like a terrible joke.

Suddenly, Yamio snorted.

"He said to send someone to test his strength? Didn't you say that the Wisp World is protected by a powerful being that even the Dalin Universe management can't touch? That being said, what impedes him from using this background to force our representative to say whatever Krune wants?"

However, Lue barcou shook his head.

"Yamio, you are missing the entire point here. If Krune has such a background, why would he even waste his time doing such a thing?"

Yamio glanced at Lue before asking.

"Do you really believe such words?"

Lue just shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, I can confirm it very fast. As long as I contact Thakulo Universe and inquire about it, they will be able to tell me whether this Wisp Main World thing is true or not. In fact, I believe you have your own ways to check it as well, so why don't we try it first?"

Yamio narrowed his eyes. Still, he had to admit that if he pays a good price, he has a way to get this information.

Both Yamio and Lue then went back to their groups and used their own ways to contact the stronger universes they are acquainted with. Around an hour later, Yamio and Lue returned to where the Wamie and the others were waiting.

"So, how was it? Do you believe that the Wisp Worlds exist now?"

Yamio didn't mind it, though.

"Hmph! So what? The wisp can now stay there as long as he wishes, that's all. Why should we select him as the representative?"

Tika couldn't help but sigh.

"I won't lie, I don't like it either. But you know it already, don't you? The Holy Land is over, and the Heavenly Divine Soul owners became even stronger. I'll be direct, neither my Wamie nor your Askol have the slightest chance of achieving anything in the Heavenly Competition."

Lue Barcou pondered a bit before saying.

"We have four years for the Heavenly Competition. So far, we still haven't found the Time and Blackhole Heavenly Fragments. But that doesn't matter now. Let's suppose that we did find them, what use would be there with Krune and Feifei being in the Wisp Main World? There is no way we could touch those two while they are staying in that place. Simply put, it is impossible for us to create a Heavenly Divine Soul owner before the time arrives."

Lucio sweated a bit after hearing about the Blackhole Fragment Owner. The fact is, he knows who this owner is. Ao had brought Lia back to the Divine Path Sect around 6 years ago. It was then that he found out about her Heavenly Fragment. He then convinced Ao and Ula to not tell anyone about this, even their friends. At the moment, the ones who know about it are Lia, Trata, Ao, Ula, and himself. Now he has even more of a reason to not open his mouth.

Tika agreed with Lue Barcou.

"You are right. Wamie has no chance against those monsters, let alone Askol. If I'm not wrong, Askol is only at the initial stages of the Void Breaking Realm, am I right, Yamio?"

Yamio wasn't surprised that Tika knew about it. Having spies inside the other Sacred Lands was something common already. It was simply too hard to wipe them out.

"Hmph! I guess you are also forgetting something else. This Krune is not part of any of our Sacred Lands. Why don't we just take the Wang Clan and Divine Path Sect as hostages and force Krune's side to hand over the Heavenly Fragments?"

Wang Xin and Lucio sighed. They were already expecting something like that to happen. Still, they wouldn't simply retreat here.

"Our powers can't possibly contend against any of the sacred lands, but if you think that we will stay still and wait for that to happen, then you couldn't be more wrong. We will fight to the very last member! There will be no hostages, just dead bodies."

Surprisingly, Lucio and Xin were of the same thought.

Fortunately, that didn't seem necessary.

"Stop spouting nonsense, Yamio. Can't you see that this is the best chance? Krune isn't part of any of our Sacred Lands, that's true. But that is also the best thing that could have happened. If he was part of any of us, the other two sacred lands would definitely not agree. However, he has a neutral position. Neither of our three sides would be losing anything here."

"Besides, so what if we could get his and Feifei's Heavenly Fragments? Lue Barcou already said it, the Time and Blackhole Fragments are missing! We simply have no way to complete a Heavenly Divine Soul at all! How exactly do you plan to fight in the Heavenly Competition then?"

Still, Yamio was unwilling. The Darkness Sacred Land had spent a lot of resources and even lost some of its territories just to find that Space Heavenly Fragment Owner. If he backs down now, wouldn't all of that be lost for nothing?

"What are you saying? That I should simply pass Askol over to Krune and let him take his Space Heavenly Fragment? In that case, why didn't Wamie give her Life Heavenly Fragment away?"

Wamie then said.

"He doesn't want it. So there is no need for senior Yamio to give Askol to Krune. In fact, even if you send him over, Krune will refuse to take it from him. Of course, as long as Askol doesn't do anything stupid against Krune."

Tika then looked at Lue Barcou.

"Palace Master Lue, am I correct to assume that at least you are in favor of this plan?"

Leu Barcou pondered a bit before answering.

"That will depend on whether Krune is really as strong as you are saying. If he really has the chance to get one of the Five Slots of the Dalin Universe, then I'm willing to give it a try. Out Luvile Universe has never got even close to taking one of those slots, after all."

Lue then looked at Yamio.

"The three sacred lands had long since decided that the representative would always be the Heavenly Divine Soul Owner. But this time around, we don't have one. That being said, we need to select a new representative with what we got. As you can see, Krune is the best thing we got at the moment. The fact that he isn't part of any of our three Sacred Lands is even better since the power won't be concentrated into any of us."

Yamio answered that with a question.

"What about the Divine Path Sect, then? Krune is part of their power. If he really gets a Slot for the Luvile Universe to control Dalin, wouldn't we be creating a new power? Are you guys okay with it?"

However, the one to answer that question was Lucio.

"Isn't that a little too short-sighted?"

Yamio's expression turned dark as he looked at Lucio. If they were alone, he would have cut Lucio's head already.

"What do you mean?"

Lucio shrugged his shoulders.

"As long as we can get this slot to become one of the Universes controlling Dalin, everyone inside the Luvile Universe will have a free pass into that place. That includes either the Sacred Lands or our Divine Path Sect and Wang Clan. That being said, how would we surpass you guys in power if you have the same benefits as us?"

Wang Xin also added.

"There is an even more significant advantage. Krune is not a Heavenly Divine Soul Owner, nor will he become one, wouldn't that make it even safer for your Sacred Lands? From what I understood, the Heavenly Divine Soul owner would be the pillar of the Universe he came from, but such a thing would not exist in our Luvile Universe. So the power would still be shared equally between you three."

"Sure, thanks to Krune and Feifei, the Wang Clan and Divine Path Sect will thrive like never before, but it is far from enough to compete with the Sacred Lands. If a single Heavenly Divine Soul owner was enough to break the balance between the Sacred Lands, the previous Heavenly Soul Owners of the past would have wiped out the enemy Sacred Lands already, no? But how come all three Sacred Lands are still here?"

Yamio was taken aback. That's because what Wang Xin said was true. There had been several Heavenly Divine Soul owners in the Luvile Universe before. But the sacred lands never lost their positions. Every Heavenly Divine Soul of the past came from one of the Sacred Lands, so they obviously acted in favor of their side.

Usually, the Sacred Land that had the Heavenly Divine Soul owner would suppress the other two, but it was simply impossible to uproot them. Their foundations are a lot deeper than anyone could imagine. Not to mention that the two Sacred Lands that didn't have a Heavenly Divine Soul Owner would usually ally against the one that had.

There is a limit to what the Heavenly Divine Sou Owner can do, and destroying two Sacred Lands was definitely not one of them. In this case, the three sacred lands could even ally together to hold Krune back if it was necessary.

Yamio could see that Tika and Lue were at least willing to try out Krune's strength. The main point here is that they might really get a Dalin Universe Slot.

"Sigh... Fine! I agree, but only after Krune's strength is confirmed to be as strong as this lass is saying."
