Chapter 639: 636: Restriction

Krune and Iem looked deeply at Illia before asking.

"What way?"

However, she immediately shook her head.

"I will die right after if I tell you, won't why? I'm not an idiot."

Iem shrugged his shoulders.

"But if you don't tell us, you will die regardless. Or do you think we will simply believe your words and let you go?"

Illia knew that was true, so she could only use her last option.

"I'm willing to let you put Godly Restrictions on my Soul."

Krune got puzzled.

"Godly Restrictions?"

That was the first time Krune heard that name. However, Iem immediately understood. He then turned to Krune and explained through a Divine Sense Message.

"It's similar to formations, but they are drawn on the body instead of the ground or equipments. Depending on the type, you can even set up a restriction on the Soul that will activate and destroy it if the conditions are met. Back in the Mortal Realm, such a thing wasn't possible. That's because Spiritual Energy and its derivations were too weak for this kind of thing. But with Godly Energy, those restrictions turned feasible. That's why they call Godly Restrictions. The only way to break free of them is to have cultivation far above the realm of the person who set it up at that point in time. However, this is not the same as acquiring a slave. The host of the restrictions is free to do anything it wants as long as they don't break the agreement. They still have their free will to do whatever they want as long as the rules are followed. It is an alternative for blood contracts, but much more dangerous."

Krune was quite surprised by such a thing. 

"Can you set up such a thing? She is in the Semi-Divinity Realm, but with our real power, I don't think she can get rid of this."

Iem pondered a bit and then looked at Illia.

"I can set the restrictions, but I'm not that good with it since it isn't precisely a formation. You will have to open your Soul completely for it to work. Also, I'll be honest here, there is a good chance that I might damage your Soul in the process. Are you really okay with it?"

Illia immediately nodded.

"I am. After all, it is only a risk. If I don't accept this, I will only die in your hands."

Iem smiled after hearing that.

"It's good that you know."

He then approached Illia while saying.

"I'll set three conditions to this Godly Restriction:

You shall never attack or make any plot against us. However, you are not our slave, so you don't need to sacrifice your life for us either.

You will die if what you said about bringing us out is a lie or if you try to leave our sides without permission.

You shall never talk about anything you saw here.

Are you okay with these conditions?"

Illia nodded. Those conditions wouldn't restrict her movement or stop her from defending herself, so that was enough to preserve her life. She wasn't lying about bringing them out, so she wasn't afraid of the restriction activating because of the second condition either.

"I accept. However, I will only guide you out with me. I will not tell you how I will do it."

Iem and Krune were satisfied enough with that.

Illia then opened her Soul completely so that Iem could put the restrictions. Because Illia wasn't resisting the technique, there was no side effect during the process. However, Iem told the truth when he said that he wasn't good with this type of thing. That being said, it was quite a painful time for Illia. Still, Iem eventually finished setting the restriction in her Soul without causing any lasting damage.

"Very good. With this, we have concluded our deal."

Illia sighed in relief before asking.

"So, do you want me to bring you out now?"

Krune and Iem immediately shook their heads. 

"We had been in this body for just a day. There are a lot of places to investigate still."

The duo then sat down and began to recover their energies. Iem retracted his Devil Flames and Crystallization skill. As for Krune, his Shields were still hovering around him, but there was almost no Godly Energy being used. Not to mention that he completely stopped pouring Tribulation Lightning Energy.

Illia then took that chance to ask.

"Where are you going after this?"

Krune and Iem simply answered.

"Our objective didn't change. We are still trying to go to the Dantian or Demon Core. We already found something as precious as the God Crystal, so who knows what more this body has? We also intend to go to its head to take a look around. With blood vessels this big, there is bound to be some that will bring us there."

It was then that Krune remembered something.

"Oh, right. How long do you need to bring us out? We can't forget that we only have six days to leave the Sealed Space."

Illia pondered a bit before saying.

"The main issue will be Godly Energy. As long as there is enough, I should be able to bring us out in at most one hour."

Krune and Iem nodded. It meant that they had to finish exploring this place and find the other group members in at most five days and a half. They will use the rest of the time to escape this giant body and leave the Sealed Space. The fact that Illia told them that she could bring them out and the restriction didn't activate proved that she wasn't lying about that too.

"That's good then. You seem to be quite tired, so sit down and recover your energy."

Illia nodded and sat some distance away from them. Just like that, the three continued to recover their energies.

Meanwhile, in other areas of the body, the rest of the cultivators and demon beasts were looking where they should go. Jimage was one of them. At that moment, he was holding his Vibrant Bead, which pointed him in the direction of the closest member of his group.

"Hum... I need to go down. Too bad that the bead doesn't show the right path. Should I try to break through the blood vessels' walls?"

After pondering a bit, Jimage gave up the idea.

"That won't do. Let alone how strong these walls are, I don't know how many I would need to destroy to reach the closest member of my group. Chances are that I will attract Space Creatures over with all the commotion. I guess I can only try to find a way down."

He was just about to move again when he thought about something.

"No, wait. It will be much easier if I just try to reach the Dantian or Demon Core. After all, that's the place everyone was planning to go to start with. Instead, I should try to find the Meridians we were talking about before. Krune seems to have some kind of special detection ability, so he most likely will be there too."

Having reached this decision, Jimage immediately paid attention to the Flow of Godly Energy and followed its path. He wasn't the only one thinking about it, though. The rest of his group did the same thing, so they were also looking for a meridian that they could enter.

Pharan's group, on the other hand, had decided that they wanted to go to the heart first, so they were talking a different path from Jimage's one. Well, his entire group except for Illia, who was stuck with Krune and Iem.

Last but not least, there was Foltan's group from the Three Peaks Sect. In their case, they decided to go to the Dantian or Demon Core as well. No one knew if this body was really a Demon Beasts' one or not. Which meant that they can't be sure if what they will find is a Dantian or Core.

Sure, demon beasts have different auras than humans. However, this one is dead! Because of that, other than the pressure given by it, they can't tell which one it is. Of course, chances were that it was a demon beast. After all, it was too big to be human. Not to mention that it has silver blood.

Time passed, and another hour went by. Finally, Krune and Iem got up again. Illia noticed that and got up too.

"Are we leaving?"

Krune and Iem confirmed.

"Yes, you just need to follow us."

Illia nodded. But then she decided to ask something that was puzzling her.

"Why the God Crystal stopped moving all of a sudden?"

Krune smiled back at her before saying.

"That's a secret."

Krune and Iem didn't know if they would find another one of these God Crystals. It would be better to not tell that sentiences can't live inside a God Crystal for long. It might come in hand in the future.

Illia narrowed her eyes but did not insist. Instead, she asked something else.

"Why are we going back through the same path? Wouldn't it be bad if we find more of the Space Creatures who left that room where the God Crystal was before?"

Krune nodded.

"That's true. However, we need to go there if we want to reach the Dantian or Demon Core as fast as possible. After all, that's the closest Meridian I found so far."

Illia was taken aback.

"You found a Meridian there? How come no one in my group noticed anything?"

This time, it was Iem who laughed.

"That's also a secret."

Illia felt like giving those two a beating. But in the end, she could only swallow her anger and keep following them.
