Krune could have waited until he was somewhere else. But Feifei asked him to absorb it here in case there was a problem with the Heavenly Fragment.
Krune's Heavenly Fragments, which had already fused together, felt the presence of the new Fragment. Immediately, both sides began to resonate with each other. As always, the Ownerless Heavenly Fragment tried to resist. But because it didn't have support from its own Universe anymore, it couldn't fight against Krune's Fragments.
However, the liquefication that Krune was expecting didn't happen. Usually, his own fragments and the new one would turn into some kind of liquid before fusing together. After that, they would solidify in the form of a core. It's just that the core would have a crack since it wasn't complete. However, it didn't matter how long Krune waited. In the end, neither side turned into that.
Eventually, when the two sides were about to touch each other, part of Krune's cracked Heavenly Core shone with a black light, which repulsed the new Fragment away.
'I see, so that's how it works when you try to absorb a Fragment that you already possess.'
Krune then looked at Feifei as he pulled that Fragment out of his Foundation.
"Feifei, this is a Blackhole Heavenly Fragment. I already have it, so you can have this one."
Feifei was surprised that from all the fragments available, she would get the Blackhole one. After all, the Blackhole Fragment would help a lot with cultivation speed. Krune was the living proof of that.
"Alright."
Feifei quickly sat down as Krune passed her the Blackhole Fragment. Just like Krune, she sent it inside her Foundation and inside her Destiny Divine Soul where her own Fragments were located. Sure enough, the fusion process started almost instantly. Feifei's Yin, Destiny, and Death Heavenly Fragments liquefied together with the Blackhole Fragment.
Once again, the Blackhole tried to resist, but it was fruitless. In the end, Feifei's Fragments, which still had the support of their own Universe, won the battle and forced the Blackhole Fragment to join them. The liquid-like form then increased in size before it began to assume the shape of a cracked core. In the end, it solidified once more like a partial Heavenly Core.
Immediately, Feifei felt the surge of Spiritual Energy that was present in the Blackhole Fragment. As always, part of the Spiritual Energy of the previous owner was immediately added to her cultivation.
Unfortunately, the previous owner's cultivation was quite low. The total amount of Spiritual Energy was far from enough for Feifei to have a breakthrough. Nonetheless, Feifei could feel the Spiritual Energy around rushing into her much faster than usual.
"The Blackhole Heavenly Fragment is really amazing. Even without doing anything, I can still feel my cultivation going much faster than before."
Sopil, who had been watching so far, nodded.
"So little wisp friend Krune already had the Blackhole Heavenly Fragment, huh? Fortunately, your wife still needed it. What are you going to do now?"
Krune shrugged his shoulders before saying.
"I want to complete my Heavenly Core. That being said, I can only go to the next Universe and try again."
Sopil smiled after hearing that.
"Well, with those Godly Stones, I'm pretty sure you will be successful. Anyway, why don't you stay in our clan for a while? I still haven't played my role as the host well."
Krune and Feifei shook their heads.
"It's fine. We don't want to waste the Clan Leader's time. Besides, we are quite in a hurry as well."
Sopil nodded and didn't insist.
"Very well. Then, I'll see you out."
Sopil accompanied the couple outside before they opened a Spatial Gate and disappeared. Sopil then returned to the hall and ordered.
"Remember! No one knows what we did here! These Godly Stones are too important for the clan's future, so anyone who breaks the secret will be executed."
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
All the elder nodded in unison.
Back on Krune and Feifei's side, they decided to not use the Multi-Universal Spatial Gate this time. Instead, Krune used Luvile's power to eat away the barrier between Universes. As Divinity Realm cultivators, Krune and Feifei could break the barrier normally. However, that would catch everyone's attention on the other side. If they could enter in silence and leave in silence, that would be the best.
It only took Feifei and Krune one week to arrive in the Sufrot Universe. As mentioned before, this Universe only had a single dominant power. It was a religious entity called the Sufrot. The Universe carried the same name for obvious reasons. Krune didn't know much about religions since they weren't exactly common in most Universes. Still, he had no intention of getting involved either.
As the only high commanding power, it wasn't hard to find where the higher-ups of the Universe could be localized.
Planet of the Holy Sufrot. There, Krune and Feifei finally came to see the people in command of this enormous power capable of controlling the entire Sufrot Universe for so long. They were quite lucky as well. Usually, it wasn't just anyone who could see their leader. Still, the Heavenly Competition and Wally's name made that happen.
"Welcome, Krune and Feifei. I'm the Sufrot Universe's Holy Seer. I've heard about your reappearance in the Dalin Universe."
Feifei smiled before saying.
"It's quite a suitable position for you. I can tell that you also have a Destiny Divine Soul, just like mine."
Krune laughed before asking.
"By the way, what should I call you?"
The Holy Seer shook his head.
"I've abandoned my name when I first joined the Sufrot Religion when I was a kid. Even I can't remember it anymore. Everyone just calls me the Holy Seer, so you can do the same."
"Then, Holy Seer, it is. Sir Holy Seer, we came here because we heard you have an Ownerless Heavenly Fragment in your possession."
The Holy Seer stopped for a second as he looked at Krune.
"As I thought. I couldn't think about any other reason for you to appear in our Holy Land other than that. After all, we have never had any interactions. Even our Heavenly Core Representative had never met you during the Holy Land or Heavenly Competition."
"However, the Ownerless Fragment came from a friend of our Universe. We are just keeping it safe until she resolves to come to get it back."
Krune and Feifei were taken aback.
"Would someone leave a Heavenly Fragment behind just like this?"
The Holy Seer's eyes narrowed.
"You talk as if our Sufrot Religion members would steal it from its owner. I'm receiving you two here with open arms, but we will not tolerate any offense that could damage our Dao Hearts."
Krune and Feifei were taken aback.
"We are sorry, Holy Seer. We didn't say that with bad intentions."
The Holy Seer finally seemed to calm down a bit before nodding.
"Very well. It's your first time in our Sufrot Universe, so I can't blame you for doubting. After all, it's normal for other Universes' Powers to always expect to be deceived. However, our Sufrot Religion preaches equality and honesty. So we are quite an oddity in the middle of so many disputes."
Krune couldn't help but ask.
"Wouldn't it put your Universe under risk?"
The Holy Seer shook his head.
"Our Universe has a united front. If the others want to befriend us, we will receive them with a sincere smile. But if they try to do anything against us... Well, the Gole and Japol Universes are good examples of what can happen to those who underestimate our way of life."
Krune and Feifei didn't need to search those names to understand that those two Universes were probably destroyed or had their controlling powers wiped out. Sure enough, you couldn't look down on a Universe where a single power could control everything.
"That's quite a problem. If the owner of this Heavenly Fragment isn't here, we can't negotiate."
The Holy Seer nodded.
"That friend of ours had provided a huge help to our Sufrot Religion in the past, so we won't do such a thing as trading her items away without her permission. I'm sorry."
Still, Feifei decided to give it a try. She then used her Divine Sense to send an offer to the Holy Seer.
'Sir. What about Godly Stones? Would you consider making this trade? I'm sure that Godly Stones would be of much more help to your friend, so you wouldn't be betraying her.'
The Holy Seer opened his eyes wide as he looked at Krune and Feifei.
"Could it be, the Wisp God?"
Sure enough, he also thought about Wally when Feifei talked about Godly Stones.
Krune and Feifei nodded.
"Yes. But you don't need to worry. I have no intention of using his name to force your Sufrot Religion."
The Holy Seer nodded.
"Everyone saw how Krune disappeared during the Heavenly Competition. So it was Wally's doing, right? No wonder you can offer such a thing."
Still, the Holy Seer shook his head.
"Nonetheless, I have to apologize. It doesn't matter how much of it you give me. We will not trade it out."
Krune and Feifei were surprised to hear that. They knew very well how alluring Godly Stones could be in the Lower Realms, after all.
"However, you can try to negotiate with the owner itself. It's just that she has gone somewhere to explore. That's also why she left the Fragment with us."
Krune and Feifei's attentions were immediately piqued.
"Great! Where did she go?"
The Holy Seer then passed Krune and Feifei the location in their communicators.
"It has been quite a few years. So far, she hasn't returned yet. Still, her Soul Flame is lit and fine, so she's definitely alive. You can try to find her in the Soren Ruins."
