Chapter 1401 The Fourth Key  

"Wheee!"

Wally didn't know what overcame him as soon after, he was blindly enjoying the rides, giggling like a toddler from time to time.

"This place is… pretty dangerous," Wally said. "I… have to double-check its safety."

"Wheee!"

A day later, he slowly came to a halt, looking around to say, "Hmm, I think I missed something in my inspection before. I… I have to check it again."

"Wheee!"

"It's been two days already," Sterlena said, noticing Wally look at her in surprise.

"I remember that I had forgotten something…" Wally said after a moment of thought. "I think I'll understand it soon…"

"Wheee!"

Two more days passed in such a fashion before Wally controlled himself, exiting the water slides as he gazed at Sterlena, saying, "The laws related to wisps are pretty strong here. I think I understand what you wish to tell me by bringing me here."

He then continued, "The simplest way would be to install your Land Incarnation…"

Wally said after a while, "There should be a region of this supercontinent that was formed by taking your Spiritual Incarnation as the base. Just leave a couple of your Land Incarnations there. Over time, as the number of True Spirits living there increases, you'll eventually obtain what you seek."

"When you become a God, you'll become the node through which the God Realm recovers its laws regarding True Spirits," he continued. "Besides, Krune's Land Incarnation is able to birth True Spirits, right?"

"Yes." Sterlena nodded in response. "But when he was killed, they were destroyed. So, even after he lays down a Land Incarnation again, it'll take a century before a True Spirit is birthed."

"That's good for the time being," Wally said in all seriousness as he looked at Sterlena. "You should understand by now that True Spirits would be aimed at first by the Mong Realm bastards."

"With all the True Spirits killed, the Kun Realm would grow weak." He continued, "So before you become a God, ensure the population of the True Spirits is as little as possible. Otherwise, you'll be heavily targeted once again."

"I understand." Sterlena sighed after that. "By the way, I've been meaning to ask. But how did you know my name? We haven't met before, right?"

"We met once," Wally said. "I was just a newborn wisp back then. I was just struggling to survive because of my short lifespan and pitiful strength when you handed me some cultivation materials and motivated me to persevere."

He then laughed after that. "Thanks to that, I eventually managed to create the Myriad Energies Technique and condense my Spiritual Incarnation before my lifespan was up."

"I… helped you back then?" Sterlena was surprised, trying to think as even with the air of Mental Energy, she wasn't able to recall something that happened ages ago. It also made her realize that Wally was pretty much as old as herself.

"It's such a strange fate." She could not help but say. "The ones related to Krune are somehow related to me as well. First was Luvile, and now you."

She then gazed at Wally, asking, "What are you planning to do now? It seems that it would take a long time before Krune is revived."

"I'm searching for the final key," Wally replied.

"The final key?" Sterlena was surprised.

"Yeah, among the four keys, Luvile and the other Gods are in possession of three," Wally said, frowning. "However, the final key is with the Mong Realm Gods. That's how they're able to enter our Kun Realm as they please."

"But aren't all four keys necessary to leave the Kun Realm?" Sterlena asked in confusion.

"Yes, but the Mong Realm has the keys of other realms that they can substitute for ours. That's how they are able to enter and leave as they please. And now that the fourth key is in their possession, entering the Kun Realm is easy for them." He sighed after that. "I thought the fourth key isn't something that could be found easily, but only recently did I find that it had already fallen into their possession."

"And…" He gritted his teeth as he murmured, "If all four keys fall to their hands, they would be able to annex our Kun Realm. The keys aren't just necessary to leave the Kun Realm, but they also dictate our fate."

"Then, the Mong Realm would next target the Gods in possession of the remaining three keys," Sterlena said. "You said Luvile has one of the keys. Who has the other two?"

"I'll ask him later," Wally replied. "I still have to protect the lower three realms. So, I won't be able to do much. However, there's one thing I can help with. Will you be willing to risk your life, Sterlena?"

"Yeah, I'm not troubled by that." Sterlena nodded without any hesitation.

"We'll have to reclaim the fourth key from the Mong Realm Gods, no matter what," Wally told her. "Using the current three keys and my special ability, I'll be able to transport three immortals out of the Kun Realm. However, the highest I can transport in this manner are Elementary Gods."

"So, I hope you'll be able to reclaim the fourth key and bring it back," Wally spoke.

"The fourth key…" Sterlena muttered. "It would be dangerous."

"Indeed." Wally nodded, "Plus, you'll have to do something to go past the senses of the Gods and barge into their heavily protected treasury and reclaim our key."

"And if possible…" He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I hope you can forge a route to another realm that's being targeted by the Mong Realm so that we can be allies in this situation."

"After all, the Kun Realm is too weak in comparison to the Mong Realm. We need allies in this war."

"Alright, I'll do it." Sterlena nodded, thinking for a couple of minutes before saying, "There are two others in mind that I think are suitable for this."

"I hope you're not thinking of Krune…" Wally said in hesitation.

"Of course, Krune has to participate," Sterlena said without hesitation. "His Hunger Law would be of prime importance to rely upon in the Mong Realm."

"Fine." Wally could only sigh in response to that. "Who's the other candidate?"

"Of course, our one and only Spirit Aberrant," Sterlena grinned as she replied.

"Spirit Aberrant?" Wally was surprised, asking in confusion, "Aren't they pretty useless?"

"You're the first one to call them useless," Sterlena said with widened eyes.

"No, I mean…" Wally hesitated before speaking, "They're the weakest in their human forms, and once they take on their Spirit Aberrant form, they lose their sanity and are stuck to the place they take on their demon beast form for eternity until they're killed."

"Hahaha!" Sterlena laughed. "If it was a normal Spirit Aberrant, that might have been the truth. But the one I meant has overcome their race's limitations. He can freely change forms without any problems."

"Freely change forms? Has overcome their limitations?" Wally was shocked, asking immediately, "Who is this guy? I want to see him."

"Sure." Sterlena nodded, teleporting the two to Gegrafikan's house, seeing the figure of a pregnant Tina seated on their lawn, as usual, playing with her most recent baby.

"This child is…?" Wally was surprised. "Why am I only able to sense the aura of a God Stone from her?"

"That's because I am indeed a God Stone." Tina smiled in response. "I'm the sole living God Stone."

"A living God Stone…?" Wally's eyes widened as he said, "Then…"

"Here," Tina said, condensing a Rank 6 God Stone casually before throwing it his way.

"Impressive!" Wally nodded as he inspected it. "This is no different from one that forms naturally."

"Yep, I've perfected its creation," Tina said smugly, creating a God Stone that was actually a one-on-one sculpture of Wally, giving it to him. "Consider this as a present from me."

"Thanks." Wally smiled in response, nodding in praise as he gazed at the sculpture. "Who's this perfect-looking man?"

"Is that a wisp?" Tina asked Sterlena instinctively.

"Nope." Sterlena shook her head in response, clarifying, "He's the Wisp God."

"Wally?" Tina blinked her eyes while gazing at him.

"You know me?" Wally was surprised, wondering how this was possible since he had no recollection of her. Most in the God Realm didn't even know of his existence. Only the Gods were aware of it.

As for the immortals, there were seldom few.

"My husband talked about you once with Krune," Tina said, pointing at her house. "He's researching something within. Just bump his head if he's unresponsive."

'Is he an old machine?' Wally thought as he entered the house, soon noticing the figure of Gegrafikan creating a formation on a scroll, seemingly deep in thought.

"What are you making?" Wally asked, inching his head forward in curiosity.

"A defensive scroll that can be carried," Gegrafikan spoke. "But, I want to imbue a lot of power in it so that it can last at least for a couple of minutes against a bombardment from a dozen Primal Gods. Unfortunately, the power circuit is the problem. I just can't seem to create a way for it to house more Godly Energy."

"Why is a Spirit Aberrant researching this?" Wally wondered it, gazing at Sterlena. "With their physique, they won't be needing any barriers, right?"

"The Abolition Tower got Krune this time. When he exploded, Gegrafikan was the closest as his body was vaporized. He revived slowly after due to his nature but has been working on a barrier technique ever since."

"Wait… who's talking to me?" Gegrafikan suddenly noticed something amiss, only now noticing the two individuals beside him, gazing at Wally in shock, shouting, "Wally?"

"How do you know me?" Wally was surprised, for he wasn't able to recognize the other party.
