Krune basically cultivated for the remainder of the day before returning to the guild once again for the next 12 hours of work. Roben, of course, was there as well. He had to check Krune's progress to see how he would fare.
Seeing that, Krune decided to ask sothing he forgot the day prior.
"Senior Roben, how long would I have to work to pay my debt?"
Roben pondered for a bit before saying.
"Considering an average Spirit Awakener's ability and your level, I would say that you'll probably need around 200 or so years."
Krune's eyes imdiately widened at the answer! 200 years? He had been alive for more or less that amount of ti. Doesn't that an that by the ti he reached 400, he would have spent half of his life paying the debt?
"That won't do! That's way too long!"
Roben shrugged his shoulders as he said.
"Of course it is! In fact, I doubt you can even live that long unless you reach the God Core Realm."
Only then did Krune realize he had another problem. Each realm had a different cultivation level where one could achieve immortality. For example, the Mortal Realm had the Divine Path Realm, while the Godly Path Realm had the God Foundation Realm. As for the God Realm, Krune would need to reach the God Core Realm if he didn't want to die of old age. The only doubt was how much lifespan he had as a Wisp. Even he didn't know that much.
'Well, I don't feel like I'm getting old that quickly, so I should have enough ti. Fortunately, it's very easy for to reach the Godly Fusion Realm thanks to my Myriad Energies Technique and Heavenly Core. I should be able to cultivate fast enough to avoid the lifespan issue.'
However, the ti necessary to pay his debt was still an issue.
"Isn't there a way to pay the debt faster?"
Roben nodded as he replied.
"Increase your cultivation so you can awaken higher-level Spirits. Naturally, you will gain more and pay for things faster. This 200 years I talked about was in case you stayed at the 1st Stage of the Godly Fusion Realm for the rest of your life."
Krune sighed in relief after hearing that. That was true. He just needed to increase his cultivation.
"Alright, then. Let go back to work."
Seeing that Krune began once again, Roben soon left the room.
This kind of process continued for several days in a row. During this ti, Krune had achieved the sa result, partially awakening a flawed Spirit, which wouldn't work. After two months, Krune had finally achieved success, awakening a spirit that wouldn't die through the random condition thod.
The sa sound of a baby crying echoed in his mind as he sighed in relief.
"Good boy. Seems like you were the lucky one between all the others from before."
Krune then sent his Godly Energy inside the dagger, which sohow cald down the newborn Spirit. Following that, Krune called Roben over.
"Senior Roben, I'm finally done with this dagger."
Roben then asked his sword, Zap, to take a look at it.
"How is it? Does this Spirit have any problem?"
Zap's Spirit examinated the Spirit in the dagger before confirming.
"This little boy is fine. That's definitely a success."
Roben smiled after hearing that.
"Great! Krune, how many tis did you try to awaken this dagger's Spirit?"
Krune pondered for a bit before responding.
"89 tis. I partially awakened Flawed Spirits in the previous attempts, so I had to stop midway."
Roben and Zap nodded.
"It's still too early to say it, but it seems like your thod is highly likely a lot more successful than ours. If it turns out to be like that, then your chances of success are ten tis higher than a Spirit Awakener at your cultivation level. That is unbelievably high."
Krune smiled in response after hearing that.
"That's good, then. However, don't send this dagger away yet. It is part of a dual dagger set, so I have to awaken the Spirit of the other dagger before sending it back to its owner."
Roben didn't mind it.
"Very well. Then again, even if you could only awaken a single dagger's Spirit, it's still worth the price of an awakening. Anyway, I'm looking forward to what you can do during the next two months."
Krune smiled and imdiately put the dagger aside before taking the other one into his hand. The dark clouds of the Calamity Laws then gathered around that dagger as Krune initiated the process of awakening once again.
Another month went by in a flash. During the month, Krune had finally reached the 2nd Stage of the Godly Fusion Realm. After breaking through into the Godly Fusion Realm, Krune's cultivation speed had decreased by a lot. He still used his mind-splitting technique to cultivate and comprehend the laws while working. However, the amount of energy necessary had increased by a lot. Before, Krune only took around a month to go from the 8th to the 9th Stage of the Mortal Rejection Realm, but now Krune took three months to go from the 1st to the 2nd Stage.
'Well, I doubt it would continue to be that simple anyway. However, if it already takes three months to do it here in the God Realm, I don't want to even think how long it would take in the Godly Path Realm. At the very least, it would be ten tis longer.'
However, Krune also understood why he couldn't cultivate faster.
'I need higher level Spirit Stones. However, I'm still stuck at the lowest level of equipnt. Once I beco good enough to awaken God Foundation Stars Equipnt, the God Stones I receive from them will help out a lot.'
That was the plan Krune had formulated in his mind. With that said, he once again focused on awakening the Spirit of the second dagger, which he took another month to reach success. Naturally, he called Roben over once more.
"Oh! So you took around the sa ti to awaken this one."
Krune nodded.
"Yes. This ti, however, I failed 92 tis."
Zap, who was there to examine the dagger's Spirit, found it very good already.
"What are you complaining about? This pretty much guarantees that you have an average success rate of a little bit over 1%. Do you have any idea how jealous any of the other Spirit Awakeners are once they find out? There will definitely be a lot of Spirit Awakener Guild Officials coming over to see you after this."
"Officials?"
Roben nodded as he said.
"Yes. Your special case had to be reported to our Spirit Awakener Guild's Sector Headquarters. After all, our City's Guild Master, Senior Dima, couldn't simply open the City Guild's coffer and pay your debt without reporting to them first. From that point onwards, they kept an eye on you to see just how good your thod is."
Zap then continued.
"However, it's still too early to decide how good you are with it. After all, you might have just been lucky with these two daggers. Once you finish awakening the Spirits of other equipnt, we will have a better understanding of your ability."
Krune nodded. This was a lot more attention than he wanted, but he already grew used to his life of low-profile fails.
"Is there sothing I should worry about if my success rate is confird?"
Roben shook his head as he replied.
"Not that I know. I'm sure they will try to attempt and emulate your thods. However, Guild Master, I, Zap, and the other elders already tried to do it. They'll eventually understand that simply copying you isn't possible. Of course, they might have other thods that we don't know, but I find it hard to believe they can work around it."
"What happens if they can't copy my thods?"
Roben shrugged his shoulders, saying.
"That I don't know. Anything might happen as far as I know. It all depends on how they will respond to it."
Krune sighed in response but nodded in the end. He knew that escaping wasn't an option. There was no lack of Divine Senses locked on him. Of course, he couldn't feel them due to the cultivation difference. However, Krune had never lacked IQ, so he could imagine this much. If he wanted to leave without anyone seeing, he would need to use sothing like Luvile's Purple Tribulation Lightning Layer. Unfortunately, he didn't have that anymore.
"Well, whatever happens, happens."
He thought about purposely failing the Spirit Awakening from now on. But there was a problem with that. If he did that, he wouldn't receive any paynt. Naturally, he won't have God Stones to cultivate anymore. The God Stones he was receiving now aren't even close to satiate his Godly Energy ridians. Let alone if he stopped receiving anything.
'Perhaps I should give up and focus on alchemy again? However, I can't create the Purple Flas anymore. Besides, I'm really far behind in alchemy than I am in blacksmithing and Spirit Awakening. It'll take way too long to bring that back to a profitable level.'
Krune shook his head in the end. He decided that it was better to continue on as a Spirit Awakener.
Both daggers were at the One Godly Fusion Star level. Because of that, Krune was paid 2000 Rank One God Stones. Of course, he could only retain 30% of it while the rest of it was taken away because of his debt.
"600 Rank One God Stones... Well, better than nothing."
Krune then focused on the armor, which was the last One Star Equipnt. The two swords were at the Two Stars Level, so Krune decided to leave them aside for now.
"Well, then. Back to work."
