Turia observed the expression of Sterlena and Krune in worry, for they hadn't gotten up even after two thousand years had passed. There was a burden of sorts evident in their bodies as Turia worked tirelessly to heal them by placing them in the Kun Realm's core.
Sterlena was the first to wake up after a long time, blinking as she groaned, feeling tipsy, gazing at Turia as she asked, "How long was I out?"
"2300 years," Turia replied, tearing up. "I was afraid you would never get up."
"When the God King activated his Champion state, the energy beam from the Mong Realm slammed into me. It messed up my Law a lot." Sterlena sighed, clenching her hand into a fist as she looked around in surprise, noticing that she was actually within the Kun Realm's core, nodding in realization. "I see, so this was why I was cured so early."
"How's the status of our realm right now?" Sterlena got up and slowly exited the Realm Core, sighing upon seeing Krune's condition as she wished to keep things safe in the Kun Realm until he was fully cured.
"We haven't suffered any invasions after that," Turia said in response. "Also, Wally has made continuous rounds through all the Satellite Realms and ensured that there aren't any spies. After Senior Soren recovered, he joined hands with Wally and began to train all the Gods and Primal Gods with the potential to become Gods one day."
"Also, Wally had proposed a plan that he wished to execute once both you and Krune had recovered," Turia said.
"That's great." She sighed before gritting her teeth upon recalling that Luvile and Hishe were now dead. Moreover, the Tilk Realm had been stolen.
Even though those in the Tilk Realm were unfamiliar, they had become allies due to their shared fate and hence helped one another. Even though it was mostly the Kun Realm helping the other party, they still had good relations.
These relations deepened once the Tilk Realm's power structure was converted into the Kun Realm's.
So, when it was stolen by the Mong Realm, a great sense of loss pervaded everyone.
'Again and again, we have suffered losses.' She gritted her teeth, slowly brought over to the God Realm by Turia as she returned to the Mountain Sect to gather her bearings and think of her next plan.
"What will you do until Krune wakes up?" Turia asked her.
"I'll train," Sterlena replied. "I haven't been able to maintain my Champion state for long. So, I'll work on increasing the duration. This would automatically strengthen my base power. It's the fastest way for me to grow stronger the fastest."
"I'll support you to the best of my ability," Turia said.
…
Floating amidst the chaotic storms of the Kun Realm Cluster was a giant creature with thousands of sprawling tentacles made from energy. It was a gigantic creature that was continuing to grow in size and power over the years, looking like it would eventually attain status as a Primordial Beast if it kept this up.
She had surpassed her status as a Demon Nest, becoming one that could produce Realm Cores by absorbing the spatial storms. And that was exactly what she did, constantly absorbing the spatial storm as she condensed the power within her body, slowly birthing a Satellite Realm Core.
But, if she stopped at present, it would only result in a tiny Satellite Realm that was only a tad larger than a Sub-Realm.
So, she had to nurture it within her body more and constantly raise its foundation. But, just that alone wasn't enough to create a powerful Satellite Realm Core.
All she did was create the foundation. The laws of the Satellite Realm Core were only limited to the laws that she had.
Thus, this was where she obtained external help.
Spirit Aberrant!
Gegrafikan turned into a law and seeped into her body, camouflaging himself into her law. Through that, he parasitized her body, seeping his power through her body.
In this manner, he supplied the necessary laws to form the foundation for the Satellite Realm Core. This way, the created Realm Core would have a more stable and developed foundation. In any case, it would save eons of development for the Satellite Realm.
"Gegrafikan, do you know the origin of my race? Did Hishe say anything to you about us?" Hazak asked while in the process of creating the Realm Core.
"Our Kun Realm was created by the Kun Peng. And what I know is that there are influences of quite a few Primordial Beasts in our Realm. Because, unlike most Realms, our Realm was created by the Primordial Beasts that have left a lot of traces. Quite a lot of our races are inferior offshoots of the Primordial Beasts," Gegrafikan explained. "Like the Phoenix race that are offshoots of the Primordial Phoenix."
"Then, are us demons offshoots of one of these Primordial Beasts?" Hazak asked.
"Maybe," Gegrafikan nodded. "I, too, am unsure as to what Hishe had intended to do with that Sub-Realm by gathering so many unique races there. Now that he died, there's nothing that we can find out about it. Plus, he hadn't left behind any inheritances too."
He sighed, continuing, "We can only investigate into things that he might have left behind within the Sub-Realms he had erected throughout the Kun Realm.
"This is what I'm confused about," Hazak said, frowning in response. "I feel like my growth wouldn't stop at being a God alone. I think I would eventually become a Primordial Beast."
"So, that wasn't just an illusion." Gegrafikan nodded in realization. "Honestly, when I look at you these days, I feel like you're becoming more and more like a Primordial Beast."
"You feel somewhat restricted while traveling within the Kun Realm, right? And you feel more at ease out here in the spatial storms that can kill other Gods but are harmless to you, right?" He continued.
"Yes, how did you know?" Hazak asked in surprise.
"I think…" Gegrafikan said after a moment of thought, "You are becoming a Primordial Beast."
