Chapter 1174: Daughters Of The Four Realms

"B-Balance Laws?" Krune stammered in shock, asking, "What are you talking about?"

"Well, everyone who's targeted by the Calamity Laws would eventually derive the Balance Laws. After all, that's the best way to protect yourself from its machinations," Sterlena explained. "With that, you must have devoured a part of the Calamity Laws while forming your Spiritual Incarnation, right?"

"…Yeah," Upon seeing how much she knew, Krune realized that it was better to come out with the truth and probe for more information. 

"I had done the same thing in the past," she told him. "With every law of the God Realm under my command, I became a powerhouse even among the Primal Gods. But alas, I failed in the final tribulation to become a God. The Calamity Laws backfired on me at that time since the created tribulation was amplified by them."

"Calamity Laws…as expected, they result in calamities." Krune nodded, able to believe in her words. After all, both of them possessed the Calamity Laws. So, there was that sense of instinct established between each other, allowing them to sense whether the other party was being honest or not. 

That was also the reason Krune decided to not lie. Had he met Sterlena before he obtained his Spiritual Incarnation, he wouldn't have been able to detect this. 

Suddenly, the both of them began to cough violently as their bodies began to bleed all of a sudden. Krune realized that a mysterious energy of sorts was invading his body to wreak havoc. 

He hurriedly unleashed his development effect, offsetting the damage. Sterlena also seemed to be doing the same as the two of them flew away, heading in the direction away from the violent energy. 

"Even the embers of that explosion are potent enough to wound us," Sterlena grunted as she wiped the blood leaking out of her mouth. "Those from the Abolition Tower are freaks."

"Is there a method to detect them?" Krune asked, worried. He didn't want anyone from the Abolition Tower to infiltrate his Mountain Sect. 

"Until now, there's none," Sterlena replied. "That's why they're such a threat. Even when I had reached the peak of the Primal God Realm, I failed to detect any abnormalities in my own daughter that had turned out to be a member of them."

"I have no idea how she became their member. I hadn't detected anything amiss in her even once." She shuddered as she recalled the memory. "One day, my daughter caused an explosion, destroying my palace. And this happened right after I began my breakthrough to the God Realm."

"Their methods are unknown. But somehow, they're able to make normal people into members of the Abolition Tower. And worst of all, until they're given the command, they would live like normal people. When they die, they die. Simple as that. Only when orders are received would they change." She sighed. "That's what makes them so scary."

"Is a God behind such an organization?" Krune asked. "What if a couple of Gods try to investigate this situation? Surely they…"

Krune stopped speaking, seeing Sterlena shake her head, sighing as she told him, "Just based on my knowledge alone, three Gods have taken action. However, they ended up with no results. If it was that easy, the Abolition Tower wouldn't have been regarded as a fearsome organization."

The two continued to travel until they escaped the range of the violent energy as Krune inspected his belongings, sighing when they were all safe. Though, he had expended all 18 Wisp Cores that he had stored for emergencies.

Now, he didn't have enough trump cards and energy reserves to battle any strong opponents.

As they continued to fly through the void, Krune asked, "Can you tell me more about your experiences with the Calamity Laws?"

"That'll be difficult." Sterlena sighed, saying, "There's too much that I don't want to recall of my past. So, I'd rather not do that."

"Then, can you tell me more about True Spirits?" he asked, now diverting to the actual point that he wished to converse about. 

"There's not much difference between a Wisp and a True Spirit," Sterlena said, gazing at Krune from top to bottom.

"Both of our races are birthed from the energy of heaven and earth. However, there's one fundamental difference between us," she said solemnly.

"The defects?" Krune replied. 

"Not that." Sterlena shook her head, saying calmly, "It's the fact that True Spirits could actually be considered to be the daughters of the Four Realms. The fate each of us carry is enormous, and we never suffer any blocks in our cultivation journey."

"Basically, given enough energy, a True Spirit would be able to reach the peak without much obstacles. Though, surviving the tribulation lightning is another matter altogether," she spoke. 

"That's it?" Krune tilted his head in confusion. "I thought there would be a fundamental difference between wisps and True Spirits. Wouldn't a proper cultivation technique give rise to a similar result?"

"You might think it's simple, but…" She shook her head, "Even if you use the Myriad Energies Technique, reaching the Nascent God Realm is your limit. And, that's in the case you didn't have any children."

"You know…" she said after a moment of thought, "Heavens despise wisps. So, once you try to reach the Semi-God Realm, the strength of the tribulations you face would be ten times stronger than what you would have faced if you were part of any other race with your respective strength."

"But why?" Krune asked. "Aren't we birthed by the world as well? Why are wisps inherently disadvantaged like this?"

"Let me explain it from another standpoint." She thought for a couple of minutes before explaining, "Consider the world to be a tailor. There's a square piece of cloth. The tailor makes a circular cut with the ends of both touching each other and imbues life in it."

"The circle would result in a pure lifeform, the one the tailor intended to create. Then, the excess energy causes the remaining pieces of the square to also form again, something the tailor didn't intend to create." She continued, "Since the pieces aren't intended to be given life, the tailor doesn't like them. After all, they aren't creations it can be proud of. They aren't perfect. They're just leftover pieces."

"This analogy…" Krune stared with widened eyes, not wishing to believe it to be the truth. But he knew, realizing that what Sterlena said was the truth.

"The circle is a True Spirit while the remaining pieces are wisps."
