Wamie couldn't help but comment.
"I think that the advantages are worth it, though. You will have the chance to experiences several things during such a life—battles, riches, resources, status, etc. Besides, do you know what the chances of normal cultivators and demon beasts succeeding in the Ascension Tribulation are?"
Krune nodded.
"It seems to be something around 1%, right?"
Wamie nodded.
"Since that is the case, what is the issue about having lower chances with a Heavenly Divine Soul? From the very start, your prospects were bleak, so it is not like a Heavenly Divine Soul would change your outcome that much."
Krune shook his head, though.
"Still, I don't wish to stop cultivating. Also, I do want to surpass the Ascension Tribulation. So any extra chances I can get, I will take it. Of course, it is not just because of that that I don't want the Heavenly Divine Soul. For example, that thing about being responsible for the Decisions of your home Universe is terrible in my eyes. I don't want to have anything to do with it at all!"
Feifei and the others were not surprised by that. Krune never liked the attention to start with. It was only recently that he stopped to care that much about this issue. Still, it is not like he began to like being in the center of the storms.
In the end, Wamie decided to ask the most critical question.
"Are you confident that you can avoid having a Heavenly Divine Soul finished?"
Krune smiled and nodded. First of all, he and the others don't have any mark that will tell when they reach the Divine Path Realm like Wamie. Because of that, they can stay in Dalin even if he goes above that Realm. In the case he really needs to leave, he can even use Mohie Zarks Teleport Formation to go to some other Universe other than Dalin or Luvile.
Before, Wamie was basically enchanted by Fie, so she said she would follow them just as a whim. But now she is really considering this option. The main reason for this is apparent. Since Krune has her Soul Slive, she wouldn't be able to do anything to him even if she wanted. So she might as well see it first hand. Krune gave her total freedom to do whatever she wanted, so she can leave anytime as well.
"Alright, then I will really follow you guys for the time being. I want to see just how you are going to deal with it in the future."
Gilia was taken aback.
"You can't! What if they use the time you are on their planet to attack, you won't be able to do anything."
Wamie looked at Gilia and said.
"He could have asked for my Heavenly Fragment back then, and I was ready to give it away and start to cultivate again. In that case, what is the meaning of killing me when I don't even have the cultivation to struggle a chicken anymore? Still, he didn't take it, so he doesn't want to kill me to start with."
However, Krune rejected her idea.
"I can't let you come. Let alone the fact that I really think you don't need to follow me. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't let you do so. After all, the only one I could trust is you, not your friend. So, let me ask you, would you really leave her behind just so that you could come with my group? As far as I can see, you two seem to be very close friends, so I don't think such a thing is possible."
Wamie was taken aback.
"This..."
Indeed, the one who he has a Soul Slive is her alone. Krune doesn't know who Gilia is, so how could he let her stay close to his group. Especially since they have two kids. After all, they are indeed enemies at this moment, so Gilia might try to do something with Fie, Liriu, or someone else.
Gilia, on the other hand, was even more shocked. Wamie is the Heavenly Fragment Owner, so why would Krune be able to trust her? That doesn't make any sense!
'Unless...'
Suddenly, Gilia had an idea. She immediately looked at Wamie and asked ou loud.
"Could it be that what he asked was a Slive of your Soul?"
Krune smiled and didn't say anything. He already expected that her friend would find about it. Still, he decided to let Wamie do the talk. He was curious to see if she and Gilia would understand the hidden meanings behind his action. He took that chance and sent a Divine Sense message to his group to not intervene as well.
Wamie looked at Gilia and nodded.
"Exactly. But it seems like Krune's group doesn't want me to be a Slave, nor do they want me to do anything for him. The sole purpose of this is to prevent me from telling others his or Feifei's location through the Heavenly Fragments connection. As long as he has my Soul Slive, I won't be able to do any harmful actions. His only order is also that simple. I should not do anything that could put anyone he knows in risk, that is all."
Gilia couldn't help but sigh. She should have guessed it earlier.
'I'm such an idiot. Since he didn't take her Heavenly Fragment away, what else could he use to guarantee that you won't attack them ever again? Obviously, only a Soul Slive would fulfill this requirement.'
Gilia then asked back.
"Since he gave you the freedom to act as you pleased, shouldn't we go back to the Luvile Universe to report everything?"
Wamie looked at Gilia.
"We can't. First of all, it would be considered against the rule of not harming Krune and his group. Reporting this situation would lead the All Life Sect to think about other ways of getting back at Krune, so I wouldn't be able to say a single word. The only reason I can tell you this is because it was evident to you that I had a Soul Slive being taken away. Otherwise, I wouldn't let you know about it."
Gilia couldn't help but say.
"You don't need to. I can be the one to talk, and you will only observe without saying anything."
Wamie smiled and asked.
"That is precisely where the problem lies. If you report that I can't do a single thing against Krune and his group from now on, what would be the use of keeping me around? Don't forget that the Time, Space, and Blackhole Heavenly Fragments hadn't appeared until we left the Luvile Universe. If the All Life Sect gets one of them, wouldn't it be better to simply kill me and pass the Heavenly Fragment away?"
Except for Krune, the rest of his group was taken aback by those words.
Gilia, of course, was even more so. Now that she thought about it, that would indeed be the case. For the Sacred Lands of the Luvile Universe, giving birth to the Heavenly Divine was a must! Wamie can't do anything against Krune anymore, so they would probably never get a Heavenly Divine Soul through her. Simply put, in the All Life Sect Sacred Land, Wamie Zark lost her use the moment she gave a Silve of her Soul away.
Wamie then said.
"Besides, I really want to see what Krune and his group can do. He could have ordered me to do a lot of things. For example, he could have told me to go back to the Luvile Universe and say that after waiting for ten entire years, I've never felt the presence of a single Heavenly Fragment. Or some other excuse like that. He could also have had me act as a spy inside the All Life Sect, which I don't even need to tell you how useful it would be."
Krune inwardly shook his head after hearing that, though.
'That would be useless.'
Still, Krune didn't point the problem out and kept listening.
Gilia felt a chill on her back. That is because she also thought about another possibility. For Wamie to do those things that she mentioned, Gilia must not be there anymore. After all, she can report the real truth of the matter. In that case, Wamie would need to kill Gilia first.
But then, Gilia shook her head.
"No, wait. That wouldn't work. After all, the Sect could test you to see if you had become someone's slave. No, in fact, they would definitely do so when you return without any extra Heavenly Fragment. It would be too suspicious that you didn't find anyone during this entire time. In the end, would woul-"
"Ah!"
Krune finally let out a smile.
'It seems like those two understood, after all.'
Wamie felt like laughing when she saw Gilia's face.
"Seems like you understood the problem. Correct! In the end, everything would come back to the start. I would be found to have given a Slive of my Soul away and would die nevertheless. Whether I go back willingly and have you report it in my place or follow an order and go back to try to fool them, both paths would lead to me having my 'Slave' status found. Everything that awaits me when we go back is my death and my Heavenly Fragment being taken away. So... my only choice is to stay here and not do anything against Krune and his Group."
Feifei, who had been hearing everything so far, looked at Krune and snorted.
"Of course, a certain wisp already predicted all of that, right?"
Krune couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, I won't deny that. But there is one thing that I didn't expect either. I really didn't think she decided to come with us. In my first conjecture, she would just leave and pretend we don't exist anymore until the day she was forced to go back to Luvile. But that would be several years in the future."
Wamie smiled and then said.
"I told you, didn't I? You could have avoided all these issues by simply taking my Heavenly Fragment away. At most, I would only be able to report back. But with my Heavenly Fragment gone, the All Life Sect wouldn't have a need to kill me. They would just take away all my advantages in the Sect and assign me to some corner like any other ordinary disciple. That's all."
"That being said, you must be really confident in your plans. So I want to see just what you are going to do. Just what can make you so sure that you can reach a level where they won't try anything against you and your Heavenly Fragment in the future?"
"So yea, I would like to follow your group and see what will happen. But..."
Wamie looked at Gilia. They had been together for many years. Their friendship goes way more back than just the time they spent inside Dalin. So she didn't want to leave Gilia alone.
