Alm and Bruno read the message with excitement, even though the rewards were far below their expectations. However, a question arose: technically, an Elemental Primordial Spirit with the laws of Chaos should also be something unique and unprecedented.
’The laws of Chaos have existed in all universes at some point. The queen has easy access to them. It’s not impossible that this has appeared somehow, either through her or randomly somewhere,’ Alm concluded.
While they were reflecting, Lansha, upon hearing about her new body, was surprised but didn’t hesitate for a second before starting to connect to the rune.
After a moment, Bruno spoke in a light tone: "Liumi, help her a bit. And what about those two heroes, did you find out anything?"
Liumi also cultivated her soul. Over the past 22,000 years, she had impressively refined this cultivation, reaching a capacity similar to Kaiyka’s in the past. However, Kaiyka must have evolved over those 22 years in the queen’s universe; having a divine soul, Liumi was likely still behind her.
On the other hand, Mihkriel didn’t know how to use his divine soul and was a thousand times weaker than Alm and Bruno when they first arrived in the queen’s universe. He struggled and would need some time to connect to his chaos rune and form a body. Liumi, however, hadn’t helped him at all during this period because she didn’t trust him. Without a direct order from Alm and Bruno, she wouldn’t take that initiative.
Alm and Bruno allowed her to act as she wished, but they couldn’t help wondering why their female allies were always so stubborn and headstrong. Could it be that their own behavior was causing this?
"That small fragment, I only got a few scattered bits of information," Liumi responded calmly, referring to the Immortal Hero whose fragmented soul they had captured when they broke the seal during the tribulation and fled.
Alm and Bruno didn’t have the power to truly eliminate an immortal; at most, they could destroy his body by temporarily suppressing his heroic power, all thanks to the celestial state. Without it, facing them was impossible.
The wounded fragment, once in the inventory, was sealed by Liumi with her soul cultivation, preventing its recovery. She spent some time trying to access its memories, with little success.
Liumi continued, "As for this new one, I’ll do my best, masters. Since he’s suffering greatly due to the flames and his soul is more intact, his defenses are weaker. I just need a bit more time."
Alm and Bruno nodded. They then observed the thousands of beast souls watching from afar.
These were the souls they had brought from the Phoenix Cry sect. At the time, they were badly injured, and due to their number, a significant investment of resources would have been needed to restore them. However, Liumi had stated she could heal them with her soul cultivation, and later, the souls themselves also cultivated this technique.
’Everyone is already healed, and thanks to this cultivation, their souls have become very powerful...,’ Alm murmured.
Bruno became excited: ’Once Lansha stabilizes, with her help, we’ll be able to create other Primordial Battle Spirit runes. We can turn all these souls into members of this new race. Their potential is high, and they appeared in great numbers.’
Alm nodded. Thanks to their vast experience with the Primordial Elemental Spirit race, they could now consider themselves experts in it. When they received divine knowledge about races through the system, there was information about this race. However, it was like reading a very detailed theoretical book; only practice and experience truly solidified the knowledge.

Currently, they were able to create runes of this race with the laws of chaos, just as they did with Mihkriel, or even common elemental runes. However, for a soul to bond with a rune, it needed to have a strong connection and above-average knowledge of the element. Only Mihkriel had such capability when it came to the laws of chaos.
These souls, which were once beasts, had a strong connection with the laws of fire, but they were still beasts. Beasts are born with an instinctive affinity; unlike humans, who study and learn gradually, beasts develop everything naturally. Therefore, they could feel a connection with a fire rune, but transforming into a being of this race would be an extremely difficult task.
Now, everything had changed. The Primordial Battle Spirit no longer depended on a connection or knowledge of any law. They weren’t sure what the prerequisites were, but they felt that these souls were fit for the transformation.
With everything set, Alm and Bruno exited the inventory.
Outside, they looked at the three waiting for them and nodded. They placed Yuan and Rivine back in the inventory. All the allies from the main mission were still there too, and could be kept for a while longer.
"Lansha will be fine. She’ll restart her cultivation from scratch, but her new body has immense potential," they said, casting a glance at Purimu, who looked anxious.
Then they turned to the Leviathan and his son, Heze. "The situation has completely changed. My previous plans were to use the bodies of the Ziz and yours to gain enough power to defeat the heroes. But now, with only yours, it’ll be more complicated. Plus, the heroes aren’t fools; they’ve already realized the danger they’re in, and the element of surprise is gone."
"Where is the Ziz?" asked the Leviathan bluntly.
The whale nodded, and a round, fully sealed fragment emerged from the inventory. "I didn’t have time to talk to him. I just freed him, waited for him to try to revive, then captured his soul and bones."
The Leviathan narrowed his eyes, focusing on the sealed soul. "That bastard... let me talk to him. Even sealed, due to our common origin, I can communicate without freeing him."
"We don’t have much time, and the situation is delicate. I’m already working on the hero we captured. Get something useful from the Ziz quickly," said the whale, sending the sealed soul.
After a sigh, they turned back to the area they were in. It was a place far from the previous events, and if luck was on their side, it would take time for a hero to approach. Maybe they had a day or more of safety in that location.
Heze joined his father. Purimu, however, was the only one left without a task, standing silently, watching the whale.
Alm and Bruno sighed before finally looking at her. When their eyes met, Purimu jumped a bit, somewhat startled and nervous.
"Brat, cut it out. I hate it when those close to me act so cautiously and treat me like I’m above them," said the whale calmly. "You’re my niece; why are you afraid of me?"
"I... I’m not... sorry..."
"Are you worried about what happened before? Stop that nonsense. Nobody’s perfect: your father, your mother, all my allies, even I make mistakes. You’re still very young and have taken on many responsibilities early. It’s natural, with all that pressure, for you to act defensively and follow orders to the letter, afraid of making a big mistake." Alm spoke coldly, and Purimu shivered.
Bruno intervened, stepping in. He gestured for the whale to let her come closer. "Come here, when I left, you were a baby; now, you’re a beautiful woman. We have a lot to talk about. I want to know more about you, and from today on, I’ll always be around."
He spoke softly and saw her face slowly contort before breaking down with a few tears. She then ran to their side, staying very close and letting go of any shyness or doubt.
It was clear that Alm and Bruno wanted to know about the sect and the outside world, as this knowledge could be useful in the current situation.
However, they didn’t mind listening to her talk about everything she wanted. She spoke about herself, her childhood, and everything. They answered her curious questions. Within minutes, they already felt close, and Purimu was showing a wide smile.
