Chapter 596: 593: Agreement

Krune was surprised to hear that name, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Does it have something to do with opening a passage between realms?"

Zule nodded.

"That's what it is exactly. Unfortunately or not, I became a failed product. Well, to be more specific, the guy who created me was already expecting that I would become a failure."

"Why?"

"That's because the intention was to create something capable of opening a passage to the Lower Realms. However, my creator wanted to establish a safe path that would not require someone to pay the price once you go down. Obviously, such an experiment was bound to fail from the very start. No one can go against the Heavens' Will. Let alone the fact that he wasn't someone from the God Realm, so he lacked the power to start with."

"Still, he insisted. After all, who could blame him for wishing to be able to go down without any price? Especially when he isn't someone from the Realm above? When the day to try using me for the first time arrived, he was struck not only by the Lower Realm's Heavens but by the Godly Path Realm Heavens as well. Poor guy was almost zapped in half by the two forces. Not too surprisingly, he died straight away. As for me, I was considered to be a failed product, obviously."

Krune couldn't help but ask.

"Wait! If he got zapped by the Lower Realm's Heavens, does that mean the passage was open?"

Zule nodded.

"Yea, but what's the point? It is 100 times better to force your way down with your own strength than using something like me. As you know, doing such a thing will require a price, possibly being your own life. However, at least you will have a chance of surviving if you do so. I believe you heard in the Lower Realms that several higher realms beings descended in the past after paying a heavy price, right?"

Krune and Iem nodded.

"That's what I'm talking about. The normal way to go down using your own power is risky and can possibly kill you. However, you still have a good chance to survive. But if you use something like me, then you are dead without a doubt. That's why I'm considered a failed product. However, I'm grateful that it failed. I'm not sure about it, but I believe that I only have a sentience today because of that event where my creator died. I was also struck by the Heavens of both sides at that time, after all."

Luvile could totally understand what Krune was thinking.

"Don't start having weird ideas. Although I can't tell whether Zule is lying or not, there was one point that is definitely true, the backlash from the Heavens. I also believe that a treasure that can create a safe passage to the Lower Realms will force the Heavens to strike the user with its full might. Without a doubt, it is several times worse than using the normal method."

Krune understood this point, but this wasn't the part that mattered.

"Zule, this place here is hidden from the Heavens. What would happen if you open a passage through here? Would your user only be struck by the Lower Realms when the path connects? After all, the Heavens of the Godly Path Realm can't see you here, right?"

Zule laughed after hearing that.

"Naive! If it was that easy, don't you think others would have tried already? You are looking at it the wrong way. Sure, I'm hidden from Heavens here since this is my own Dimension. However, this Dimension is still inside the Godly Path Realm, just like any other. If you want to open a passage to the lower realms, you must pass through the Godly Path Realm barrier first. Simply put, there was no way to hide such a thing. You would only be killing yourself."

"First of all, I would need to run the risk of being completely destroyed this time. So even if you wanted to give it a try, I would definitely not do so. Hahaha!"

Krune's head was working at an insane pace. He could feel that he was close to something, but he couldn't exactly tell what. Suddenly, he finally understood what the problem with Zule's words was.

"Ah! That's right! Didn't you say that staying in this Dimensional Realm was the reason why that guy from the God Realm could avoid the Heavens? This is a contradiction! You said that you can't open a passage to the Lower Realms without being detected by the Godly Path Realm Heavens. After all, you need to pass through the Godly Path Realm and its Heavens eyes to do so. But what about the day when the God Realm guy tried to take you away? If he wanted to drag you up to the God Realm, he had to open a passage that passes through the Godly Path Realm, too, just like you said. Shouldn't that guy also suffer the rage of the Godly Path and God Realms together, just like your creator did? After all, he wouldn't be able to hide you from both Heavens once you pass through the barrier between Realms. This is, without a doubt, a contradiction to what you said earlier."

Iem couldn't help but nod. What Krune said made a lot of sense. 

Zule narrowed his eyes while thinking.

"I shouldn't have to tell you this since it doesn't have anything to do with our actual plight. But since I spoke so much already, I might as well finish it. However, this is just a conjecture of mine. I'm not sure if I'm right since I'm not someone from the God Realm."

Zule Continued.

"What you said wasn't wrong. But there was a problem with that too. The path my creator tried to open was one that tried to ignore any price to be paid. As for the being in the God Realm, he used his own strength to do so, which means that he used the usual method of going down. However! He didn't come down; he just tried to drag me up using his own power without coming in here after the path was open."

"Usually, that would be impossible since he would still need to have me pass through the Godly Path Realm. However, I believe the trick was behind the fact that I was hidden from the Heavens at first. He used the standard method of opening a passage down. Also, the Heavens wouldn't see me until the last moment, which would be when I had to leave the Dimensional Realm I'm in at the moment. Besides, he didn't come down to start with, so the backlash would be reduced. He also didn't try to create a priceless passage as my creator did, so he probably still paid the price for that path. Simply put, with all this combination of facts, he might just be able to resist the backlash."

"Of course, as I said, this is all just a conjecture of mine. Whether I'm right or wrong, you will need to go up and try it yourselves to see."

Krune finally nodded his head, satisfied. At the same time, he might just have found a way to go down earlier than he expected. However, he needed to ask Luvile something first.

"Luvile, at what level of cultivation would I be able to open a passage to the Lower Realms to go down?"

Luvile pondered about Krune and his own power for a moment before saying.

"Usually, we would need to ascend to the God Realm first. Only with the power from that place would it be possible to open a passage. Cultivators and Demon Beasts of the Godly Path Realm shouldn't even dream about doing such a thing. That's also why Zule's creator was zapped to death; he really was asking for it. However, if you consider both yours and my own power, we might just barely meet the conditions at the Nascent God Realm cultivation."

Krune nodded and pondered a bit more about the method he thought.

'It's too risky, and I would only avoid a few years of cultivation even if it worked. Besides, I don't know how wally intends to bring me down later. His method should be foolproof, so I better ask him too. Also, Zule would need to go through the risk of having his sentience destroyed by the backlash once I tried my method. He would never accept such an idea.'

Krune shook his head after that. He then returned his attention to the task ahead.

"Alright. So what do we need to do to get everyone free?"

Zule's eyes lit up after hearing that.

"First, I need to talk about what caused me to be stuck here. When that God Realm guy struck me and tried to drag me over, I found his mark on my Space Heavenly Fragment. However, I didn't have enough time to wipe it out straight away. Without another choice, I could only fuse with this Dimensional Realm. It is one thing to bring something of my size up there, but another to drag the entire Dimensional Realm with it."

"Sure enough, the task of moving an entire Dimensional Realm full of cultivators and demon beasts up was too hard for that guy. In the end, he could only give up. However..."

Krune and Iem nodded.

"You can't break the fusion on your own anymore. But why would you need us? Couldn't you simply find someone strong enou-"

"Ah!"

Krune and Iem noticed the problem in their words. Someone strong enough to help Zule would need to be at the Nascent God Realm. How could Zule let someone that strong get close to him? He would only be captured, nothing more.

"We understand now, you need someone who wasn't strong enough to betray you. However, no one under the Nascent God Realm would be able to get close to you, so there was no point in calling those at the God Core Realm or below. In the end, there was only one choice. You needed someone with a Heavenly Fragment or Core. Only such a person or demon beast would be able to get close to you while having low cultivation."

Zule didn't deny that.

"Correct. Anyway, we should be able to start now. As for whether you can believe me or not, that is up to you."

Krune and Iem looked at each other and nodded. They would rather believe him than being stuck in this place for the rest of their lives. Besides, they can feel how strong Zule Is even though he is only a Treasure. He wasn't something they could do anything against. Without another choice, they could only accept the idea and trust that everyone would be freed in the end.
