The leaders of the Sacred Lands were taken aback by that declaration.
"Even if they decide to restart the Wisp Hunt?"
Krune nodded.
"The Myriad Wisps Technique has already reached the other universes. It can't be stopped anymore. Besides, just how many universes really know about the wisps' condition? The majority would still not take it seriously. The Wisp Race will rise up, which is already inevitable. Restarting a Wisp Hunt right now would do nothing more than irritate the Wisp Race."
"Also, don't forget that the wisps have already lived in quite a poor state in the past. Many still do now. A wisp hunt would simply put them back into the environment they were already used to. Senior Wally will not move because of this. Only if you threaten the Wisp Worlds in the Dalin Universe would he really make a move. Well, if it is just the wisps in the Dalin Universe, he alone is more than enough to protect them against any power. In any case, it's not like the Universe Powerhouses can do anything to those worlds anymore."
Lue Barcor, the Extreme Yin Yang Palace Master, couldn't help but ask.
"Is there really no other way? This is just way too important for our Luvile Universe."
One couldn't blame them. The dream of having access to Dalin during the next several Chaos Cycles was just too enticing. They had just barely tasted it, but Dalin already closed.
Nonetheless, Krune shook his head.
"I told you before, there is no way I can help you. I'm not that close to Senior Wally as you all think. Don't forget, he is a God Level expert, while I'm just a Divinity Realm cultivator. We are in two different dimensions."
Tika sighed in response.
"Very well. All I can say is that I'll pass your message over as you said. As for what the other Universe Powerhouses will do will depend on themselves."
However, that wasn't the only reason they came to visit Krune.
"Now, let's enter the second topic."
Krune looked at them with a puzzled expression as he asked.
"Is there something else?"
The three leaders nodded.
"We want to discuss the Heavenly Core. At the moment, you have the Yang and Elemental Fragments. I even heard that you bought an Ownerless Blackhole Fragment during the auction before the Heavenly Competition. We want to know if you intend to become the Luvile Universe's Heavenly Core Representative."
Krune was surprised to hear that.
"Wouldn't it go against what you just said? If a Wisp Hunt starts again, I would be one of the targets, you know?"
Yamio Ralaz, the head of the Darkness Sacred Land, shook his head.
"This hunt would be focused on low-level wisps. I doubt they would come after you since you are related to Senior Wally."
Lue nodded.
"Exactly. You probably know already. The Heavenly Core owner helps resolve their Universes' issues when they have conflicts with other Universes. We will obviously need one in the future too."
Krune shook his head.
"Unfortunately, I won't be doing it. As you can see, I'm already in the 4th Stage of the Divinity Realm. I don't intend to stop cultivating now so I can stay in the Lower Realms for longer. You will need to find someone else."
The leaders of the Sacred Land narrowed their eyes.
"That will be way too complicated. Once you leave with the Heavenly Fragments, we won't be able to complete the Heavenly Core anymore. It will make things very difficult for us if we need to wait until the next Heavenly Fragments appear several Chaos Cycles in the future."
Krune shrugged his shoulders.
"That would happen nonetheless. After all, my Feifei has the Destiny, Yin, and Death Heavenly Fragments. To get these fragments, you would need to destroy her cultivation. It's even worse for me. After all, you would need to destroy my Wisp Core entirely. However..."
Everyone's attention got piqued.
"However, what?"
Krune then uttered.
"You could try to raise a Heavenly Fragment Owner instead. I heard that if a Universe doesn't have a Heavenly Core owner, they can use other experts. Why don't you try it?"
Tika shook her head.
"That wouldn't work. A Heavenly Fragment Owner couldn't possibly defeat a Heavenly Core one."
Lue and Yamio nodded. They also believed the same thing.
Still, Krune didn't seem preoccupied.
"Don't worry, they can definitely become just as strong. I already have someone in mind, so the Sacred Lands don't need to be that worried."
"A Heavenly Fragment Owner can be just as strong? How?"
Krune shook his head.
"That's a secret. In any case, the Luvile Universe won't miss a representative. You just need to wait."
"Who is the person you have in mind?"
Krune smiled after hearing that.
"For now, you don't need to know. Once the time comes for me to ascend, I'll introduce this Heavenly Fragment Owner to you all."
Yamio couldn't help but ask.
The Sacred Land Leaders could see Krune's confidence. Because of that, they thought that it had something to do with Wally. After all, the Wisp God came from the Higher Realms.
However, what they didn't know was that Krune only did it to prevent problems. Suppose he ascends, and no one was left behind to protect the Divine Path Sect and Wang Clan. In that case, they might get destroyed as revenge since he and Feifei brought the Heavenly Fragments away. If he left someone capable of fighting the Heavenly Core Owners of the other Universes, this issue would be resolved. After all, this Heavenly Fragment Owner would be allied with his sect and Feifei's clan. The Sacred Lands would not touch them.
Yamio couldn't help but ask.
"Can't it be our Space Heavenly Fragment Owner?"
Tika immediately narrowed her eyes.
"Forget what Yamio said, Krune. Use our Wamie. She has the Life Heavenly Fragment, and she is also a friend of yours, right?"
Lue Barcou, Yamio, and Tika then looked at each other as if they were about to fight. One must remember that the relationship of the Sacred Lands wasn't that good to start with.
Unfortunately for them, Krune had no intention of selecting any of them.
"I told you, I have someone in mind already. For now, you just need to know that it's the Blackhole Heavenly Fragment Owner of our Luvile Universe."
