Is that a Wisp?

"Champion of the Universe Realm…" Krune muttered, only feeling the pressure on him had increased instead. After all, it meant that now, only he and Mon-Tu-Casha were strong enough to face their foes.

And if the both of them were to die, it meant the end of their Universe Realm. Internal politics of the Universe Realm was a mess as too many races from too many realms now had shared borders.

A good fraction of them had warred in the past. This meant that if they didn't take care of it, things would blow up in the future into a war worse than what would have happened if the four Greater Realms had fought before.

After all, they were all living in the same world now, making it easy to attack and defend. Things just became ginormously complex.

Of course, they didn't have the time to solve that as Turia's voice resounded, appearing next to Krune and Mon-Tu-Casha. "You should know something…"

After a moment's hesitation, Turia said, "We've lost all four Realm Abilities that each of us had developed. It's because our composition changed entirely, causing them to fall apart."

"This also means that we can no longer use the Sparks like we did against Warakh, nor will the two of you revive upon death."

"But, we can still create a Realm Ability, right?" Krune spoke calmly, eyeing Mon-Tu-Casha as he nodded in all seriousness.

"Yes, we can." Turia nodded. "However, that might take hundreds of thousands of years. The resources, time, and effort required to create a Universe Realm Ability is thousands of times greater than a Realm Ability."

"After all, the Universe Realm Ability would be on par with a Chief's power," Mon-Tu-Casha concluded, watching Turia nod in response.

She then eyed behind Turia, watching the Mong Realm Spirit, the Garg Realm Spirit, and the rest of the Realm Spirits appear behind her. Following them were the Heavenly Spirits and Land Spirits that were scattered throughout the Universe Realm.

All congregated now, their numbers enough to spill out of a supercontinent.

Mon-Tu-Casha stared at them as she said, "But, the talents and resources of the entire Greater Universe are here now. So, I'm sure we can achieve it, even if not now, at least at some point in time. Better to begin preparations right away…"

She hadn't even finished speaking when goosebumps formed on her hand, sensing a mystical energy fluctuation as she stared at Krune, watching killing intent burst out of him as he tensed up.

Anger clouded his eyes before he forcefully calmed himself, muttering coldly, "He's here."

Boom!

Turmul had already finished devouring the Black Turtle and stabilized his powers, having digested his gains already. And now, he was ready to fight.

Though honestly, he wanted at least a century to finish digesting all his gains. Unfortunately, he had underestimated Zeit's ruthlessness to sacrifice himself and the surviving Primordial Beast representatives to create the Universe Realm.

This meant that the already strong Krune and Mon-Tu-Casha would become even stronger. Moreover, if they started to crack down on him, he would have to constantly be on the run without being able to digest his gains.

In the meantime, as their foundation had exploded drastically, various Gods would begin growing naturally, surpassing their prior limits. And using the chance, Krune and Mon-Tu-Casha could take turns to hinder his growth while they continued to grow.

Over time, it would result in them growing stronger than him. Hence, he had to take action before they grew accustomed to the changes resulting from the Universe Realm.

"Turia…" Krune said, sending in a stream of information through his Mental Energy, causing Turia to stare at him in shock as he said, "Immunity."

"That's the Universe Realm Ability we should strive for. Begin preparations already. I've already given you everything you need. We have insiders working there, plus…" He stared at Mon-Tu-Casha. "This annoying brat's perfect for the task."

"We won't be creating a Universe Realm Ability but steal an existing setup and make it ours."

"We'll leave it to you," Mon-Tu-Casha said, staring at the various Realm Spirits before she extended her hand, grabbing hold of the Satellite Realm Weapon meant for her as she condensed a portal, exiting the Universe Realm.

"Krune… you…" Turia stared at the back of Krune's figure that didn't speak anything and silently flew out of the portal, understanding his intentions clearly.

However, she didn't have time to dwell on such things. As the Universe Realm Spirit, she had a lot of work to do as Turia looked at the rest of the Realm Spirits, nodding as she commanded them, "Let's go. We have a lot to do."

"We're racing against time here. The Tiangou is too dangerous."

…

Turmul arrived before the Universe Realm, frowning as he was unable to notice any spatial storm in its vicinity. Anything that arrived was instantly sucked into it.

Even he wasn't able to redirect the spatial storm, for the suction force from the Universe Realm was just that powerful.

"You really went and committed the taboo, Zeit." Turmul gritted his teeth. "The ultimate taboo of the Kun Peng."

Of course, as the race that created all the realms, the Kun Peng was able to make Sub-Realms, Satellite Realms, and Major Realms. When the development of a realm reached its peak, it created its Realm Ability to become a Greater Realm.

But of course, there was the ultimate point above all this, something decreed by the Kun Peng Chief as forbidden. And that was the creation of the Universe Realm.

Of course, creating something of such a scale was impossible for even the Kun Peng Chief, for the scale was just that vast.

However, that was only the case if he tried to create it from scratch.

All Zeit did was simply fuse together the existing setup to result in the Universe Realm. After all, what was the Kun Realm's past?

It had been created by sacrificing Zule's entire clan. An entire clan of Kun Peng, with one of them being part of the Older Generation.

Now that Turmul had gained access to the memory reserves of the Spirit Aberrants, he understood that this was the true goal of Zule all along. After all, with the creation of the Universe Realm, the Gods gained the foundation to challenge the Primordial Beasts.

And its Champions… now had the potential to challenge the absolute peak of the Greater Universe…

The Chiefs!
