Krune was surprised to hear that na, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Does it have sothing to do with opening a passage between realms?"
Zule nodded.
"That's what it is exactly. Unfortunately or not, I beca a failed product. Well, to be more specific, the guy who created was already expecting that I would beco a failure."
"Why?"
"That's because the intention was to create sothing capable of opening a passage to the Lower Realms. However, my creator wanted to establish a safe path that would not require soone to pay the price once you go down. Obviously, such an experint was bound to fail from the very start. No one can go against the Heavens' Will. Let alone the fact that he wasn't soone from the God Realm, so he lacked the power to start with."
"Still, he insisted. After all, who could bla him for wishing to be able to go down without any price? Especially when he isn't soone from the Realm above? When the day to try using for the first ti 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 , 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 an the passage was open?"
Zule nodded.
"Yea, but what's the point? It is 100 tis better to force your way down with your own strength than using sothing like . 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 sothing like , 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 ti, 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 tis worse than using the normal thod."
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 Dinsion. However, this Dinsion 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 ti. 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 sothing, 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 Dinsional 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 soone 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 ans that he used the usual thod of going down. However! He didn't co down; he just tried to drag 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 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 thod of opening a passage down. Also, the Heavens wouldn't see until the last mont, which would be when I had to leave the Dinsional Realm I'm in at the mont. Besides, he didn't co 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 sa ti, he might just have found a way to go down earlier than he expected. However, he needed to ask Luvile sothing 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 mont 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 et the conditions at the Nascent God Realm cultivation."
Krune nodded and pondered a bit more about the thod 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 down later. His thod 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 thod. 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 to be stuck here. When that God Realm guy struck and tried to drag over, I found his mark on my Space Heavenly Fragnt. However, I didn't have enough ti to wipe it out straight away. Without another choice, I could only fuse with this Dinsional Realm. It is one thing to bring sothing of my size up there, but another to drag the entire Dinsional Realm with it."
"Sure enough, the task of moving an entire Dinsional 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 soone strong enou-"
"Ah!"
Krune and Iem noticed the problem in their words. Soone strong enough to help Zule would need to be at the Nascent God Realm. How could Zule let soone that strong get close to him? He would only be captured, nothing more.
"We understand now, you need soone 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 soone with a Heavenly Fragnt 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 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 sothing they could do anything against. Without another choice, they could only accept the idea and trust that everyone would be freed in the end.
