"So, this is the proper method of body cultivation,” Rumria muttered as she observed the lake where countless creatures swam around.
"Yes, you'll obtain passive abilities if you kill them and bathe in their blood," Zamuria said. "But first, you'll have to revive at the Godly Fusion Realm. Only then can this process be done properly."
"I don't mind." Guria nodded before asking, "Will the sect provide resources for our revival?"
"Of course,” Zamuria nodded as she replied. "All the Godly Energy and the materials with laws necessary for you will be provided.”
"Still, it feels unreal that we've joined another sect." Rumria sighed, gazing at the sky once as she muttered, "The Mist Sect, huh. I've read records about them once."
"How strong are they?" Guria asked.
"In their prime, they had a God leading them," Rumria explained. "I'm not sure what happened, but their God disappeared one day. During the resulting chaos, the Golden Gate Sect sneaked up on them and started a massacre."

She then said, "Of course, Sterlena is another such character."
"How do you know about her?" Guria was surprised.
"Heh, information gathering is the specialty of my Spiritual Incarnation. It's just that my destructive capabilities have been too strong, so none actually are aware of this side to me." Rumria laughed in response. "I've cast my information network through countless continents by now and had even earthed information buried under history."
"One among them is Sterlena's, counted as one of the biggest tragedies of the God Realm," she said.
"One of the biggest tragedies?" Zamuria was surprised to hear that. She didn't know much about Sterlena other than the fact that Krune looked up to her.
She had mostly been busy and hadn't obtained any chance to share a proper conversation with her. So, Zamuria was ignorant about Sterlena's story.
And now that Rumria seemed to know about it, naturally, she was also curious.
"Throughout her life, irrespective of where she went, disaster followed suit. However, she never gave up and fought for the life of both her and her loved ones. Eventually, she reached the peak of the Primal God Realm, turning into a legendary existence that was known throughout the Primal God community back then." Rumria condensed a book that she read from.
Raising a finger, she said solemnly, "But when she attempted the final breakthrough to become a God, her daughter turned into an Abolition Tower member. She exploded, taking Sterlena's empire with her. After all, she was also at the Primal God Realm. With that, her explosion was terrifying and affected the entire continent.”
"And right at that moment..." She sighed, saying, "The tribulation struck Sterlena, preventing her from saving her people. Moreover, the tribulation was tens of times stronger than usual, turning more terrifying than what even a God could handle. That power flowed through her the same way our attacks target the Land Incarnations of the cultivators we attack throughout the God Realm."
As Zamuria and Guria shuddered at the thought, Rumria nodded, saying, "Yes, the tribulation lighting used her laws to course throughout the God Realm and targeted every living being, Danger Zone, and Land Incarnation belonging to her race, annihilating it."
"And that was the day the race of True Spirits became a legend in the God Realm, a ghost of the past,” she concluded.
"But to think Sterlena had survived despite that. She's terrifying, right?" Guria exclaimed in shock.
"Yes, but it shouldn't have been easy," Rumria replied. "I have no idea how she survived. But, it isn't as simple as what have been told. Imagine the guilt she must be facing to be the cause that ended her race.”
"Indeed, you're right about that." Zamuria nodded, sighing as the mood turned somber.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Anyways..." Guria spoke. "So, the Mist Sect will be targeting our three continents due to the Sub-Realm that opened, right?"
"Yes, they wouldn't pass this opportunity up." Rumria nodded. "The Founding Elder of this sect is Feifei, the inheritor of the Golden Gate Sect Founding Ancestor's Spiritual Incarnation. Since the Mist Sect occupies four continents, they have a terrifying foundation."”
"Plus, since our Sub-Realm hold the secrets for one to become a God, they wouldn't pass up on this opportunity,” Rumria added. "With a God in their sect, they'll be unstoppable. Also, this is something that I've probed through myself in the past two centuries."
Rumria whispered, "This Sub-Realm, we cannot be sure of what its creator had in mind to make it. But one thing is for certain. The winner that gains ownership of it would obtain qualifications to rule our three continents. Also, they would obtain a key."
"A key? What's that?" Zamuria asked in surprise.
"It's a key to unlocking our three continents. From time immemorial, the continents of Zamuria, Rumria, and Guria have been addressed as sister continents. This is because they share the same source.”" Rumria dropped the bomb. "And, the key from the Sub-Realm will change our three continents."
"They'll slowly start merging to become a supercontinent. And, that would ensure we attain the qualifications to produce a God," Rumria said. "That's the true reason the Mist Sect is aiming for us."
"If they manage to eradicate us, they'll occupy these three continents after abandoning their original four continents. After the merge, it would become supercontinent and generate more resources than what their original four continents could produce,” she said with a sigh.
"That foundation is enough to produce a God. Since the Sub-Realm contains secrets related to that, the chances of birthing a God is rather high here." Zamuria nodded after hearing that.
"That means, when they attack us, they'll be coming at us with full force.”" Guria shuddered. "The force from four continents' worth of cultivators."
"Is that why you urged me to join the Mountain Sect during the fight, Rumria?" Guria asked, causing Zamuria to look at them in shock. She also didn't understand the reason for the two of them to join the Mountain Sect.
And now, it seems Rumria was the cause behind that..
