Quite a few Cultivators and Demon beasts were moving together in another Bubble Realm. Those were the ones who couldn't enter the Castle before and had to choose the secondary Gate. Ruik and the others just so happen to be with them.

Xankruan looked at Dilo and asked concerned.

​​

"Are you sure you are okay?"

Dilo nodded.

"I'm fine, I just didn't expect that Mohie Zarks would leave a Void Breaking Realm Golem behind. I'm already lucky to have suffered just these injuries. A lot of Cultivator and Demon Beasts even died at that thing's hands."

Rarol then commented.

"Fortunately, we had enough numbers to overwhelm it. Otherwise, I believe we would all have died."

Ruik nodded.

"Indeed. But it was not for nothing. The rewards that we got in this realm more than compensate for the risk. I got enough Spirit Stone to last for over 2 to 3 years. That is already considering that I won't try to save anything. Putting it together with what we found earlier, we could say that this trip has been totally worth it."

Tiane also added.

"Well, our main objective was to get some experience and get used to our cultivations. After so many battles, I can tell that this objective was more than complete."

Suddenly, a Spatial Gate appeared right in front of everyone. For a moment, everyone took several steps back, afraid that something like that Golem would come out as well. But right after, a Rainbow Colored Wisp appeared. Of course, that one was Krune. Not only him, but Ricarte and Joiu came out as well.

Ruik and the others were taken aback.

Krune soon noticed Ruik's group and sent them a Divine Sense Message.

"There you are! Come with me, this Gate will take us somewhere else."

Ruik and the others nodded and then approached the Gate. However, the other cultivators and demon beasts noticed that and got close as well.

Krune looked at them and said.

"Are you sure you want to follow me into the Spatial Gate? I might have prepared some traps for you on the other side. Who knows where you are all going to be sent if you do so?"

With just those words, everyone stopped. Krune was right, they don't know where that thing is connected to.

Krune then turned around and entered the Spatial Gate with Ruik and the others. He received a few questions through Divine Sense but decided to not answer anything. It was not that he didn't want to help the others, but because Krune knew that they wouldn't be in danger anymore. So they didn't need any help. After passing through, it started to close in front of everyone.

But just as the Gate was about to close completely, a demon beast gritted his teeth and charged inside as well.

On the other side, Krune and the others had already appeared. Krune was about to give them a quick explanation through Divine Sense when suddenly. That same Demon beast appeared there as well.

Krune's group looked at that and soon recognized who it was.

"Aren't you that Demon Beast that I gave the Shell Repairing Pill? Why did you follow us inside?"

That was correct. He was the 7th Stage Core Formation Realm Demon Beast that had his Core Damaged. He was also the same one who told them about the Line Group strategy, which helped Krune and the others finish the Forest Bubble Realm.

Krune had to admit that he was impressed with the fact that this guy was still alive. After all, his chances were totally against him.

"I just thought that I would have a greater chance of surviving if I entered the Spatial Gate than if I followed the other group. I'm only at the Core Formation Realm, so I wouldn't pose any threat to your group either."

Krune then told him.

"Well, to be honest, you wouldn't find any more danger whether you entered our Spatial Gate or not. But anyway, let me tell you where the exit is."

Krune than explained where the exit was located and that he could go there by himself. There were only them inside the building now, so he should have no problem going alone.

The Demon Beast seemed a little hesitant, though.

"Would you mind if I waited until you leave as well?"

Feifei immediately understood why.

"Oh, I see! A Core Formation Realm exiting the Inheritance is probably going to be targeted. After all, it is easier to simply wait outside for the weak lucky ones to leave. I have no doubt that quite a few groups are waiting there to rob the others."

The Demon Beast immediately nodded vigorously.

Krune pondered a bit and decided to agree. Since he already helped this Demon Beast in the past, he might as well help him to the very end.

"Very well, go to the exit and wait for us there. We might take some time before leaving, though."

The guy's eyes immediately lit up.

"Thank you! I will be waiting."

Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something.

"Oh, right! My name is Ofelo."

Ofelo then started to make his way to the exit.

Rarol then grabbed his brother, Tinnian, and said.

"We are going there too. I believe you have some things to discuss, so go ahead and don't bother with us."

Feifei and Krune couldn't help but think.

'This instinct thing is really overpowered.'

With this issue resolved, Krune looked at Ricarte, Reiny, and Joiu. He had a few questions now that he heard about the Alliance Seal.

"Alright, I need you to clarify a few things to me."

"First, you said that once a cultivator or demon beasts from the Dalin Universe reach the Divine Path Realm, they are forced to take the Alliance Seal. How exactly does the Dalin Universe Management know that you got into the Divine Path Realm?"

Ricarte was the first one to answer it.

"That is simple. You know that every Universe has its own underworld, right?"

Krune nodded.

"That's where all the souls go when one dies. There, their memories are wiped out, and they wait for reincarnation... or so I'm told."

Ricarte confirmed it.

"Correct! Whether it is a totally new soul or a soul from someone who died and had its memories wiped, they all come from the underworld. The Dalin Universe management uses the link between that place and the Dalin Universe to brand everyone born here. I don't know exactly how they do that, but it guarantees no soul will pass unnoticed. It's through that brand that Dalin can find anyone who enters the Divine Path Realm. It is like an alarm that sets off when the right time comes."

Krune narrowed his eyes and thought.

'There is no way that Cinty doesn't know about this. I will need to ask her later about this.'

Krune looked back at them and made his next question.

"Second, you said that you wanted to give my pills to your sister, who is an alchemist fanatic. If you are entering another universe, how exactly do you intend to deliver it? Could it be that you have a way to send items between Universes without anyone noticing?"

Ricarte shook his had.

"I will simply send a puppet with the pills to my subordinates who are in the Void Breaking Realm waiting outside. They are loyal members of my family, so I know they will deliver it to her without a doubt."

Krune nodded.

"This Spatial Gate can send you to another Universe without Dalin noticing your leave. But can it receive others as well?"

Feifei heard that and understood what Krune meant. But she was also the one who answered the question.

"I have checked it already. I might not understand this Formation well since its level is too high. But I can at least tell you that this is a one-way only. You can not use it to come back."

Ricarte also confirmed that.

"Indeed. The information that I have also confirmed what Feifei said. Besides, I told you this before. Leaving the Dalin Universe is one thing, but entering is another completely different. Chances are that even if you could come back through the Spatial Gate, you would probably be noticed by the Dalin Universe Management."

Krune nodded once more.

"Third, who else from your family knows that you are leaving? Or better, how many of them know about this thing's existence?"

Ricarte pondered a bit and then said.

"Besides those who were planning to move into another Universe with me, only my father and the three Ancestors. But that's all I can tell you at the moment. I also urge you to not try to contact them, or else I believe they will try to kill you at all costs to cover the truth."

Krune was surprised by that warning.

"Why would you say that? Wouldn't it be better if your family got rid of me after?"

Ricarte nodded.

"It would, but I don't know what that thing that took control of your body earlier put on me. But above all else, the fear and pressure that it gave me were several times above what my family's strongest Ancestor did. Call it instinct, but I believe that whatever it was, it is definitely stronger than my Ancestor. I don't want to risk having my family falling into a calamity. That is also why I've been so cooperative as well. Otherwise, trust me when I say that I would have killed you and Feifei already."

Krune had to admit that Ricarte was right. Light Spirit was indeed much stronger than anyone they could find in the Lower Realms. As for the fact that they would be killed, he didn't think anything about that.

As for Ruik and the others, they got puzzled by what they heard. After all, they didn't know about Light Spirit's existence. Still, they decided to ask it another time.

"Alright, one last question, what about the mark left behind in your soul?"
