The two floated in space, very close to a medium-sized rocky planet, without anything flashy at first sight. Both were focused on feeling everything around them and searching for some reference; they didn’t explore much of this universe when they were first brought here, just entered the nearest planet without much thought.
It took a few minutes for both to look to the north and conclude, ’We’re at the border of the divine realm and ascending realm,’ Alm said slowly.
Fortunately, they were now in the Elemental Condensation Realm. They no longer needed to worry about breathing, eating, or being affected by spatial laws. In this realm, it was straightforward to avoid major dangers using their own power.
Space radiation wasn’t a problem, but to sustain themselves and move around, Qi needed to be used. Outside of a planet, it was much more complicated to replenish lost Qi unless they were in the divine region, where it was so abundant that they would never run out. That’s why an extraordinary physique was essential to consume little Qi. This was the main reason why only those at the end of the Body Destruction Realm could travel alone through space. However, currently, the whale, with its evolved physical cultivation, could do this easily; their Qi consumption was so minimal that they could live for centuries in the void.
At that moment, Alm noticed something wrong. Bruno was strangely silent, minutes passed without anything happening, and his expression grew increasingly tense.
It didn’t take long for Bruno to speak, stunned, ’The Rune of Faith... it’s not receiving any power. It remains completely empty, this should be impossible.’
Alm narrowed his eyes; even their faithful from other universes could send the power of faith and reach them through the underworld. But in their own universe where they had a city and thousands of devotees... there was nothing? That couldn’t mean anything good.
’It’s been almost a hundred years... the abyss demon...’ Bruno murmured, and then they both remembered the problems they left pending on that planet at the same time.
When they visited the dwarves’ realm and encountered that elf, they read his recent memories and found out many things. The abyss demon was in a terrible state because of the annihilation they caused. It would take him ten years to recover. Because of this, their identity as the ones who broke the first seal of the Behemoth was covered up... but now... everything must have been revealed.
Alm and Bruno became completely serious. It wasn’t their fault, and they couldn’t have done anything about it; they didn’t plan to leave the planet. After the abyss demon recovered, everything about them was thrown into the wind. It shouldn’t have taken long for the city, or even everything related to them, to be ’investigated.’ Of course, after seeing everything they had accumulated, being cultivators, it was 100% certain that they looted and destroyed everything... as for the people close to them... it was hard to imagine that they managed to survive.
’FUCK!’ Bruno exploded furiously. ’We have to go back as soon as possible! Ruri, Corin... everyone... FUCK!’
Alm remained calm; in moments like these, his whole being was enveloped in the purest malice and coldness. He quickly reflected on the possibilities and then spoke dryly.
’The twelve families are extremely powerful by the planet’s standard. But that elf didn’t dare to go too far against the abyss demon, even though he was severely injured. From the memories we read, there was a clear higher hierarchy, but the demon couldn’t be blatantly provoked.’
Alm reflected, clarifying Bruno’s mind a bit. ’Everything indicates that the cultivation of the three demons in the Spirit Fusion Realm represents something for the twelve small families. Combined with a bloodline coming from a primordial beast, the demons must have fighting power equivalent to a mid-level cultivator in the same realm easily. If two or three of them unite, it would be difficult for someone in the same realm to deal with them.’
Bruno quickly understood and added, ’The twelve small families are servants of the four Empyrean families. All twelve must fiercely compete for everything and would never unite unless it was something related to the seal. If your assumption is correct, the leader of each family must have power equivalent to the demons.’
’The four families probably don’t care about anything on the planet. Currently, if we use everything we have, we can only not die quickly to someone at the level of the abyss demon since our defensive power is abnormal. If we go back, we will be hunted mercilessly, we clearly have too many secrets.’ Alm said coldly.
The two pondered for a few minutes. Going back seemed like an act of complete recklessness; they were at the border of the divine realm. With their cultivation and power, they could easily join some small divine sect and then things could flow. In the future, they could come back and seek revenge. That was the obvious choice. Ever since they were just Bruno, or since they were reborn as Alm, there was no doubt in either of their minds about what to do. But...
’Let’s go back.’ Surprisingly, it was Alm who spoke. ’We created a little monster; we also invested everything in her and everyone around her. Our disciples wouldn’t die so easily. Even if the city has fallen, I want to see with my own eyes to be sure.’
Bruno agreed. Since when did playing it safe lead them anywhere good? Even if it seemed stupid and led to certain death, currently Alm and Bruno were focused on forging a new path.
’Even if everyone has died, the whetstone seems hard enough. It’s four families that must have many resources, if we win, we won’t come out losing.’ Bruno added with determination.
Alm took a deep breath and pondered the possibilities. They didn’t know exactly where they were, or where the Pristine planet was located. They only knew that this was on an ascending planet, which meant they were close to the zone where the planet should be. However, in such a vast universe, finding the Pristine planet would be a Herculean task that would take thousands of years if they tried to do it blindly.
Reflecting on this, Alm remembered Behemoth’s words about the families living on the moon. He mentioned a formation on the moon that nurtured these families with the Qi of the divine world. This indicated that they were very close to the divine realm, probably at the border. This already reduced the search area by two-thirds.
Bruno intervened quickly. ’We have all the electrical laws we stole from the annihilation. If we use that, even in a brute way, we can achieve extreme speed to search. It would only take a few years, at best.’
’Rehvka and the android are in the inventory. We can’t just run off, or they’ll die. We have at most two days to revive them...’ Alm spoke, sighing as he encountered a new problem. ’We were counting on the power of faith from here to recover their bodies, but now we don’t have many options.’
The situation seemed to get more complicated as they considered their options. Now, all three of their disciples were in danger, without them being able to do anything to help them. After a few minutes of silence, Bruno snorted and spoke.
’Whatever. If Gaia randomly sent us, then Heaven’s Will may have moved the pieces, too. To resolve the situation, something important must be near us.’
Alm responded dryly. ’If that were the case, they could have sent us directly near the planet.’

’Maybe...’ Bruno said indifferently. ’But without the power of faith, the two in the inventory would die. I think something useful is nearby.’
