"Millions of people would die as a result."
Upon hearing the cold hard truth, Krune was worried. 'My breakthrough would destabilize an entire continent, huh.'
He then thought of something, asking Gegrafikan, "What did Wally do in this case?"
"I have no idea," Gegrafikan shook his head as he replied. "Only the Gods might know of this. Though, that is in the case they had been paying attention to him during then."
"But, it's not the end, of course." Gegrafikan laughed upon noticing Krune's hesitant expression, recalling something from memory as he told him, "If the act of you causing millions of deaths doesn't sit well with you, there's a simpler option."
"What is it?" Krune felt like there was hope for him now. Both the methods Gegrafikan had proposed before weren't something he would ever do, no matter what. That went against his beliefs.
"You can search for infant continents," Gegrafikan said.
"Infant continents? What are they?" His curiosity sparked, Krune thought of something to provide his conjecture. "Are they continents that have yet to finish forming?"
"Correct." Gegrafikan nodded, explaining, "In the God Realm, you can consider every continent as an individual organism, a cell forming the entirety of the massive realm. So, once they're depleted of all resources or become too unstable, the continents begin to collapse."
Gegrafikan then went on to talk about the specifics of the case that could be summarised as below…
Once a continent destabilizes, it would shatter into countless pieces that would all be sucked into the vacuum forming its center. There, all the matter would be compressed, processed, and their forms varied. The laws forming their entirety would restructure themselves while taking on new forms.
The Godly Energy of the realm would be constantly sucked into it until the core stabilizes enough before the laws begin condensing parts of the continent, like stacking pieces of a puzzle. This was its infant stage.
From there, it would take countless millennia to slowly grow as the laws forming its core would begin to stabilize. After that, a continent would finish forming, now capable of supporting life. Unsurprisingly, those infant continents also possessed Law Pools in them, though smaller in size.
"Though they are small, they should be enough for you to cure your defects until your breakthrough to the Semi-God Realm. You'll have to find more infant continents once again after that," Gegrafikan reminded him. "Of course, you'll have to take caution. Elemental storms would be plenty in an infant continent. Even immortals would be killed in an instant. Moreover, countless cultivators would explore such locations in search of precious treasures that form during a continent's birth."
But, upon seeing that Krune was relaxed, Gegrafikan shook his head, warning him, "Don't become overconfident that you will be safe due to your Spiritual Incarnation. Those that become immortals can attack using laws. If they hit you, they would be able to damage your Land Incarnations that you have placed in any part of the God Realm. The stronger they are, the greater they can affect your Land Incarnations."
"That's…" Krune shuddered. He had indeed gotten complacent, thinking that even if he were to die, he could easily revive using his Land Incarnation.
Moreover, he had plenty of Little Krune fragments in the Mountain Sect. So, reviving through them was pretty easy since he had the Cultivation Lotus to rely on for the Godly Energy necessary for a revival.
"Just think of it like this," Gegrafikan said solemnly. "If there's an attack that can kill you instantly, you can rest assured that it would use the laws to track your Land Incarnation through the various laws forming it and harm you."
"The only way to escape complete annihilation, in this case, is if you possess a law of your own, in which case you are a God. And the second case is to only possess laws that your attacker hasn't comprehended. This way, their laws won't find any channels in you to channel the attack through," he concluded.
'…Fuck!'
Krune's expression was like he had swallowed a fly by mistake, barfed it out, and ate it by mistake once again.
After all, the Myriad Wisps Spiritual Incarnation was comprised of all the laws that form the God Realm. So, any average immortal was capable of channeling an attack through him to all his clones and Land Incarnations.
Even though Little Cally was an entity from beyond the Four Realms, the laws forming it belonged to the God Realm.
'Then again, there's still my Spiritual Mark. I'll survive thanks to that.' Krune relaxed upon thinking of it. After all, the Spiritual Mark had fused into his soul, becoming an integral part of himself. And hence, it was also reflected in his Spiritual Incarnation.
In any case, no cultivator was capable of comprehending Tribulation Lightning. Upon arriving at this line of thought, Krune smiled, cupping his fists as he got up. "Thank you for your help, Gegrafikan. Do you know of any infant continents?"
"…" Gegrafikan stared in silence. The two continued to stare in silence for a good minute before he spoke, tilting his head, "…Good luck?"
'Fuck!' Krune understand what that meant. Gegrafikan had no idea where an infant continent was.
Sighing, he left their house, returning to his house to see Feifei busying herself while looking at the books that had been placed in the library. They were those Gegrafikan had written. It seemed she was looking for a possible answer to his problem in them.
Laughing, Krune explained everything Gegrafikan had told him.
"When are you setting off for this journey?" Feifei asked, feeling sad that they had to separate once again. She had already reached the Nascent God Realm. Now, only Krune was left. If he failed to rectify the defect, he was bound to remain weak for the rest of his life.
"I'll miss you." Feifei hugged Krune tightly, tearing up a little. "Return soon."
"Return where?" Krune asked, tilting his head as he laughed.
"What?" Feifei became angry when he mocked her sadness.
"I mean..." Krune returned to his wisp form, dancing around the room as he said, "It's not like I'll be leaving the house, you know. My clones would be the ones traveling."
"I'll become the prodigal son that lazes around…"
…
It was evening as Zamura casually strolled through the sect, taking in the sights of the various buildings, coincidentally arriving at the residential district when he noticed a gem of sorts embedded on the front gate of a villa.
Upon arriving closer, he looked at the gem, his eyes twitching.
After all, the other party also noticed him, behaving like he hadn't noticed anything, acting like he was just a gemstone embedded into the gate.
Seeing Krune being used as a decorative gem on the gate, with the other party getting into character, all Zamura could say was expressed with one word…
"Bruh…"
"Millions of people would die as a result."
Upon hearing the cold hard truth, Krune was worried. 'My breakthrough would destabilize an entire continent, huh.'
He then thought of something, asking Gegrafikan, "What did Wally do in this case?"
